Selectica Inc. (SLTC, Financial) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2012-03-31.

Highlight of Business Operations:

We incurred net losses of approximately $6.3 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $261.6 million as of March 31, 2012. We may continue to incur losses in the future for a number of reasons, including uncertainty as to the level of our future revenues and the timing and impact of our cost reduction efforts. While we have made significant progress towards aligning our research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses with revenue, given the size of our business relative to the costs associated with being a public reporting company, we will need to continue to control our expenses while maintaining and increasing revenue in order to achieve profitability. If our revenue fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our losses may continue or increase, which would harm our business and operating results.

Our revenues are dependent on orders from a relatively small number of customers. Our three largest customers accounted for approximately 33% and 28% of our revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We expect that we will continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result, if we fail to successfully sell our products and services to one or more large customers in any particular period or a large customer purchases fewer of our products or services, defers or cancels orders, or terminates its relationship with us, our business and operating results would be significantly harmed.

Recurring cost of revenues. Recurring cost of revenues consist of costs associated with supporting our data center, a fixed allocation of our research and development costs, and salaries and related expenses of our support organization. During fiscal 2012, recurring cost of revenues increased $0.2 million or 20% compared to the prior year primarily due to an increase in license and support costs in our data center, higher compensation expenses in our support organization, and a higher allocation of R&D costs.

Net cash used for operating activities was $1.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012, resulting primarily from our net loss of $6.3 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses totaling $0.9 million, which included depreciation, losses on disposal of property and equipment, and stock-based compensation expense. In addition, we had changes in assets and liabilities providing $3.5 million in cash, driven primarily by a $2.4 million increase in deferred revenues, and a $1.3 million increase in accrued payroll and related liabilities, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in accounts payable.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, resulting primarily from a $1.5 million decrease in accounts receivable, net due to strong cash collection efforts, an increase of $1.0 million in accounts payable and other accrued and long-term liabilities, and non-cash charges of $0.8 million for depreciation and stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by our net loss of $1.5 million, and a $0.8 million decrease in deferred revenues.
