PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is a managed service provider of video collaboration and network applications. Our services are designed to provide a comprehensive suite of automated and concierge applications to simplify the user experience and expedite the adoption of video as the primary means of collaboration. Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries. We market our services globally through a multi-channel sales approach that includes direct sales and channel partners. The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000. The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Our Services

Video Collaboration Services

We provide a wide range of video collaboration services, from automated to orchestrated, to address the spectrum of user experience and business applications, in an effort to drive adoption of video throughout the enterprise. We deliver our services through a hybrid service platform or as a service layer on top of our customers’ video infrastructure. We provide our customers with the following suite of services to meet their videoconferencing needs:

Managed Videoconferencing is a “high-touch” concierge-based offering where Glowpoint sets up and manages customer videoconferences. We offer managed videoconferencing both as a cloud-based service, with videoconferences hosted in the Glowpoint Cloud, as described below under the heading “Intellectual Property”, and as an on-premise solution leveraging the customer’s existing video infrastructure. Managed videoconferencing is available globally and works effectively across multiple

- 1 -

networks and video devices, including desktop and mobile devices. Despite a trend to move towards “self-service,” our customers remain reliant on our scheduling, event support and conference management services. Our managed videoconferencing services are offered to our customers on either a usage basis or on a monthly subscription. These services include:

Scheduling : Customers can schedule their videoconference using Microsoft Outlook®, Cisco TelePresence Management Suite®, or through Glowpoint’s CustomerPoint® web portal.

Call Launching: Once the videoconference is scheduled, it automatically launches at the designated time. Glowpoint will “bridge” the videoconference by calling the selected video endpoints at the time of the scheduled call and making sure they are properly connected. We believe that automated launching creates cost efficiencies for both customers and Glowpoint and provides a desired evolution path that aligns with the market trend towards increasing self-service models.

Conference Monitoring & Support: Glowpoint’s systems will monitor the video meeting to make sure everything remains properly connected and operable during a conference. If an incident occurs during a meeting, one of our conference producers can reconnect and/or fix issues per standard practices or as requested by the customer.

Conference Reports: Customer administrators can generate reports through our portal to show videoconference details, statistics and success rates.

JoinMyVideo ™ is an on-demand video meeting room (“VMR”) service that allows users to join from web browsers, desktops, mobile apps, and commonly used videoconferencing systems. We introduced JoinMyVideo ™ in the first quarter of 2015 to meet customers’ needs to use video communications in a mobile environment, as discussed further under the heading “Market Need”. With JoinMyVideo ™ , users are able to manage the participants in the video meeting, allowing up to 24 participants to join the meeting. JoinMyVideo ™ is a cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solution, so the customer has no infrastructure to buy and maintain. JoinMyVideo ™ is offered to our customers on a monthly subscription basis.

Hybrid Videoconferencing helps enterprises migrate from managed videoconferencing to VMRs by bringing together attributes of both services. Users can schedule their VMR, add endpoints, and send invitations to participants through an online portal. At the scheduled time, the VMR is launched connecting the scheduled endpoints and allowing self-service users to join from video systems and desktop and mobile video apps. We introduced our Hybrid Video Conferencing service in the first quarter of 2015 as we believe that merging these connection capabilities accommodates all types of users and meetings.

Video Meeting Suites provide remote access to videoconferencing for everyday business meetings and events, allowing our customers to conduct meetings and events in over 4,000 physical meeting suites across 1,300 cities without investing in video devices or infrastructure. We have partnered with the owners of these videoconference centers and arrange for our customers to hold videoconferences at convenient locations across the world based on the customers’ needs. Our primary service includes the scheduling and management of a highly orchestrated business-class meeting for a professional meeting experience. As part of the extended offering beyond the physical office suite, we also enable participants who elect to use a mobile device to join a video conference from anywhere in the world. These services are largely usage-based. We also offer our customers monthly subscription rates based on a fixed number of concurrent users.

Webcasting events enable our customers to stream live video feeds to up to thousands of viewers through their browsers and mobile devices. Enterprises often use this service on a quarterly basis for earnings calls and town hall events.

Remote Service Management

Our Remote Service Management provides an overlay to enterprise information technology (“IT”) and channel partner support organizations and provides 24/7 support and management of customer video environments. Our services are designed to align with a globally recognized set of best practices, Information Technology Infrastructure Library (“ITIL”), to standardize processes and communicate through a consistent set of terms with our customers and partners. We leverage a best-in-class IT service management (“ITSM”) provider, ServiceNow Inc., to systematically provide Remote Service Management, as well as enable Glowpoint to integrate with an enterprise’s systems and workflows.

We offer three tiers of Service Management options, ranging from automated monitoring to end-to-end management to complement the needs of IT support organizations, as described below:

Resolve - Total Support is our most comprehensive management and support service and targets enterprises that want to completely offload day-to-day operations of their video environment to Glowpoint. We provide:

- 2 -

24x7 Support Desk: Around-the-clock access to our expert staff via phone and email for support inquiries.

Incident Management: Systematic management of incidents from service request to closure. All incidents are tracked and visible from our online ITSM portal.

Problem Management: Root cause analysis and coordination to prevent and quickly repair incidents.

Change Management: Management of maintenance contracts for infrastructure and endpoints to ensure systems are up to date, operating at peak performance, and have coverage from the manufacturer.

Site Certifications: Baseline testing of endpoints to make sure they are configured for optimal performance.

Service Level Agreements ( “ SLA ” ): Performance guarantees with our SLA backed services.

Helpdesk provides level 1 support and allows enterprise IT to scale and expand the reach of support to end users. We complement the existing staff by taking the initial service request from the end users and providing incident management. We provide:

24x7 Support Desk: Around-the-clock access to our expert staff via phone and email for support inquiries.

Incident Management: Systematic management of minor incidents, general service inquiries, and an initial assessment for major and critical incidents. We escalate major incidents to the appropriate and responsible parties.

Proactive Monitoring is a remote and automated monitoring service that detects events and alerts customers’ IT when a service impacting event is discovered. The service is provided in conjunction with either Resolve or Helpdesk. We provide:

Event Management: 24/7 monitoring of our customers’ infrastructure and endpoints with email alerts when events are detected.

Automated Video Room Sweeps (“AVRS”): Our custom developed service accesses our customers’ endpoints every night, measures audio & video quality, and verifies firmware.

Network Services

Glowpoint’s network services provide our customers around the world with network solutions that ensure reliable, high-quality and secure traffic of video, data and internet. Network services are offered to our customers on a monthly subscription. Our network services business carries variable costs associated with the purchasing and reselling of this connectivity. We offer our customers the following networking solutions that can be tailored to each customer’s needs:


•	Cloud Connect: Video ™ allows our customers to outsource the management of their video traffic to us and provides the customer’s office locations with a secure, dedicated video network connection to the Glowpoint Cloud for video communications.

•

Cloud Connect: Converge ™ provides customized Multiprotocol Label Switching (“MPLS”) solutions for customers who require a converged network. A converged network is an efficient network solution that combines the customer’s voice, video, data, and also Internet traffic over one or more common access circuits. Glowpoint fully manages and prioritizes traffic to ensure that video and other business critical applications run smoothly.


•	Cloud Connect: Cross Connect ™ allows the customer to leverage their existing carrier for the extension of a Layer 2 private line to Glowpoint’s data center.

Professional and Other Services

Our professional services include onsite support, or dispatch, as well as configuration or customization of equipment or software on behalf of a customer. On a limited basis, we also resell video equipment to our customers.

Sales and Marketing

We currently sell our services through a direct sales force and indirect sales channels. As of December 31, 2015 , we had 8 full-time employees engaged in sales and marketing. Our sales/account management team is responsible for developing

- 3 -

relationships and expanding opportunities within our existing customer base as well as targeting our services to other large and medium-sized companies. We partner with agents and wholesale channels to expand the size and reach of these efforts. The customers we target have a proven need for business communication services in diverse vertical markets, such as professional services, business services, computer software, manufacturing and financial services. The efforts of our channel sales group focuses on partnering with complementary system integrators and service providers, to leverage their customer bases and distribution channels. We private label or co-brand our services for these partners depending on their requirements.

We primarily focus our marketing efforts on direct marketing programs aimed at our target buyer personas (e.g., IT decision makers) within our target verticals. We seek to generate qualified leads for our sales team, educate and retain existing customers, generate brand awareness through public relations including social media and drive service enhancements using research and customer feedback.

Market Need

As enterprise and mid-market businesses increasingly seek to improve customer experience through the quality of communication services, they are confronted with several industry trends presenting emerging and varied challenges. We believe the most forceful among these trends are:


•	increasing mobility of the workforce;


•	shifting priorities of business decision makers, including an increased preference for cloud delivery of applications, software-defined networking ("SDN" or "network virtualization"), and management of multiple and varied devices; and


•	the rise of multi-channel customer service involving multiple modes of communications.

Our objective is to re-shape and simplify the manner by which enterprises and mid-market companies use video and related collaboration tools. We have invested in leading collaboration and ITSM platforms and are well poised to serve a broad range of needs, from servicing conventional video systems to providing real-time support tools via the cloud. While we remain committed to our legacy capabilities and the customers who rely on them, we’ve focused our primary resources on the emerging landscape by evolving our view of the market and product approach in three important ways:


1.	We have invested in research and development and new technologies to develop and provide a more comprehensive suite of support systems and real-time analytics;


2.	We continue to evolve our product design philosophy, anticipating demand for products that are cloud and mobile enabled but also flexible, extensible, secure and reliable. The goal is to allow our customers to transition from old communications and collaboration technology to more comprehensive (unified) applications in a way that is manageable and highly cost-effective.


3.	We have increased our focus on re-packaging our products and services into simple, easy to purchase “bundles”. These bundles address the challenges faced by our customers and offer the advantage of being customizable where necessary to meet customer needs.

As we continue to transform Glowpoint into a service-led organization, revenue attributable to our core and legacy product lines and services have declined. We have worked to migrate customers from legacy products such as Managed Video Conferencing and Video Meeting Suites to more automated/software-based solutions. As a result of a growing market trend around cloud consumption preferences, more customers are exploring cost-effective software-based services for procuring technology. As this trend continues, the Company has remained focused on maintaining positive cash flow from operations and investing in future results by implementing cost savings programs designed to streamline its operations and eliminate overlapping processes and expenses. These cost savings programs have included: (i) reducing headcount, (ii) closing office space, (iii) eliminating other real estate costs and infrastructure associated with unused or under-utilized facilities, (iv) relocating certain job functions to lower cost geographies, including service delivery, customer care, research and development, human resources and finance, and (v) implementing reductions in cost of revenue associated with external service providers.

Many enterprises have become dependent on video communications for increased productivity and reduced operating costs, thus making video communications part of their core business practices. With the technology advancements over the past few years, including browser-based and mobile video, the options for video collaboration solutions and services are greater than ever before. The growing combinations of hardware, software, and networks challenge enterprise IT organizations with finding the right fit for their business objectives. Enterprises must consider and account for implementation and integration, user adoption,

- 4 -

analytics, management and support, and maintaining a return on investment with the existing technology deployment while preventing technology obsolescence. As a result, businesses are increasingly seeking an outsourced partner for managed services and hosted, cloud-based infrastructure to mitigate risk, reduce operational costs, and increase user satisfaction by delivering a higher caliber support level to their business. According to a 2015 report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., the global market for videoconferencing services is expected to reach $2.9 billion by 2020, driven by the rising popularity of cloud-based videoconferencing services, and increasing use of videoconferencing in government, healthcare and education sectors.

We believe that many companies cannot fully support quality video communications on their existing infrastructure and networks. Enterprises have reduced or curtailed investments in immersive telepresence (“ITP”) video conferencing systems, now preferring cloud-based solutions and personal or smaller group video systems. Enabling video on desktops and increased mobility remains a primary enterprise objective. As demand for ITP systems and related services decreases, and the demand for mobility and personal video services increases, we will continue to evolve our solutions to align with and attempt to satisfy this market demand.

Glowpoint provides enterprises with the ability to simplify the video experience, which increases adoption and user participation. Glowpoint’s unique and wide range of video collaboration services is intended to provide a service for every user and meeting type within the enterprise. We believe our ITSM platform delivers the right tools, automation, and analytics to partners to enable a successful video deployment.

Competition

With respect to our video collaboration services, we primarily compete with managed services companies, videoconferencing equipment resellers and telecommunication providers, including BT Conferencing, AT&T, Verizon, Citrix, Yorktel, SPS, Whitlock, BCS Global and AVI-SPL. We also compete with certain start-up and venture capital-backed companies that offer hosted videoconference bridging solutions, including Blue Jeans Networks, Vidyo and Zoom. Lastly, the technology and software providers, including Cisco, LifeSize, Microsoft (Skype for Business) and Polycom, are delivering competitive cloud-based video conferencing and calling services. With respect to our network services, we primarily compete with telecommunications carriers, including British Telecom, AT&T, Verizon and Telus. The Company’s competitors offer services similar to ours both on a bundled and un-bundled basis, creating a highly competitive environment with pressure on pricing of such services. Competitor solutions also create opportunities for integration and support services for Glowpoint.

We believe Glowpoint differentiates itself based on its full suite of cloud and managed video collaboration services in combination with the ITSM platform for support automation. We believe our services are unique based on our intellectual property, user interfaces and capabilities that we have built over the years.

Customers

Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries. Market segments that account for 5% or more of our revenue for 2015 , listed in order of approximate contribution to revenue, were as follows: 12% in consulting; 10% in executive search; 8% in broadcast media; 7% in engineering and construction; and 5% in insurance. Major customers are defined as direct customers or channel partners that account for more than 10% of our total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , two major customers accounted for 12% and 10% , respectively, of our total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , one major customer accounted for 11% of our total revenue. This customer stopped using our services as of June 30, 2015 and therefore accounted for 3% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Any reduction in the use of our services or the business failure by one of our major customers and/or wholesale channel partners could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Intellectual Property

Glowpoint has invested in research and development, engineering and application development in the process of building our managed service and cloud platforms. Some of this development has led to issued patents, as described below, along with ongoing recognition in the industry as having unique tools and applications to enable our video applications.

Glowpoint Cloud Conferencing

The Glowpoint Cloud is based on a Service Oriented Architecture (“SOA”) framework that enables us to create unique unified communication service offerings. Glowpoint’s cloud based-video services can be delivered as a software and infrastructure service in a hosted environment or can support a hybrid mix of public and private clouds.

- 5 -

Videoconferencing has traditionally presented challenges for the user by presenting a complex maze of systems and networks that must be navigated and closely managed. Although most of the business-quality video systems today are “standards-based,” there are inherent interoperability problems between different vendors’ video equipment, resulting in communication islands. Glowpoint’s suite of cloud and managed video services can be accessed and utilized by customers regardless of their technology or network. Customers who purchase a Cisco, Polycom, Avaya, or LifeSize (Logitech) system, or use certain other third-party video communications software such as Skype for Business, WebEx or even WebRTC, may all take advantage of the Glowpoint Cloud regardless of their choice of network.

Patents

The development of our “video as a service” applications and network architecture has resulted in a significant amount of proprietary information and technology including real-time metering and billing for video calls and intelligent call routing. We believe that our patented proprietary technology provides an important barrier for competitive offerings of similar video communications services.

We have been awarded six patents:

•

U.S. Patent No. 7,200,213 was awarded in April 2007 for our live video operator assistance feature. Our “Live Operator” technology provides customers with the ability to obtain live, face-to-face assistance and has widespread application, from general video call assistance to “video concierge” services. This patent is an essential component of providing “expert on demand” and telepresence “white glove” business class support services. This patent expires November 17, 2024.

•

U.S. Patent No. 7,664,098 was awarded in February 2010 for our real-time metering and billing for Internet Protocol (“IP”) based calls. Our “Call Detail Records” patent for IP-based calls provides the ability to meter and bill an end-user on a transactional basis, just as traditional telephone calls are billed. This unique capability is a vital development as more and more telepresence and video conferencing calling traffic is distributed over disparate IP-based networks – rather than ISDN – as B2B calling is becoming much more common for video users. This patent expires August 4, 2026.


•	U.S. Patent No. 7,916,717 was awarded in March 2011 for our Systems and Method for Automated Routing of Incoming and Outgoing Video Calls between IP and ISDN networks. This technology ensures the simple and seamless migration from ISDN to IP for the purpose of connecting IP users with ISDN systems around the

- 6 -

world. This automated call routing capability has been leveraged to provide a least cost routing and gateway method to customers. This patent expires September 16, 2028.


•	U.S. Patent No. 8,259,152 was awarded in September 2012 for our Video Call Distributor, which includes systems and methods for distributing high quality real time video calls over an IP Packet-Based Wide Area Network, leveraging existing routing rules and logic of a call management system. This patent expires July 3, 2031.

•

U.S. Patent No. 8,576,270 was awarded in November 2013 for our Intelligent Call Management and Redirection systems and methods. These systems and methods can be used to detect the status of a specified video endpoint. Pre-defined rules can be configured so that a call that is not completed for any reason can be transferred to another destination such as a video mail service or an automated or live operator service. This patent expires January 14, 2030.

•

U.S. Patent No. 8,933,983 was awarded in January 2015 for our Intelligent Call Management and Redirection systems and methods. This new patent relates to a method for routing packet-based network video calls using an Intelligent Call Policy Management (“ICPM”) system that can detect the status of a specified video endpoint and refuse to connect a video call based on the video endpoint’s status. This patent expires October 11, 2025.

Research and Development

Glowpoint incurred research and development expenses of $1,350,000 in 2015 and $1,019,000 in 2014 related to the development of new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services.

Employees

As of December 31, 2015 , we had approximately 96 employees. Of these employees, 62 are involved in customer support and operations, 13 in corporate functions, 13 in engineering and development, and 8 in sales and marketing. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Glowpoint’s business faces numerous risks, including those set forth below or those described elsewhere in this Report or in our other filings with the SEC. The risks described below are not the only risks that we face, nor are they necessarily listed in order of significance. Other risks and uncertainties may also affect our business. Any of these risks may have a material adverse effect on Glowpoint’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. When making an investment decision with respect to our common stock, you should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

We may fail to comply with covenants contained in our loan agreement with Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”).

Our loan agreement with Main Street, which was amended in February 2015, contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specific types of transactions, including covenants that limit our ability to:


·	incur or guarantee additional debt;


·	incur or assume certain liens;

- 7 -


·	make certain loans, advances or investments;


·	pay dividends;


·	make certain acquisitions or dispositions;


·	make certain capital expenditures;


·	prepay subordinated debt;


·	issue certain equity securities;


·	enter into transactions with affiliates; and


·	make certain increases in management compensation.

In addition, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant, that are tested on a quarterly basis. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under Item 7 of this Report for a description of Adjusted EBITDA. Based on the Company’s current financial projections for 2016, we believe that it is likely that the Company will violate both the existing fixed charge coverage ratio and the debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenants beginning in mid-2016. We are currently exploring various alternatives to address our forecasted violations of our financial covenants, which may include renegotiation of our loan agreement with Main Street, a capital raise, a conversion of a portion of our debt to equity or a debt refinancing. If the Company were to violate any of its covenants under its senior loan agreement or its other debt arrangements, any such violations could cause an acceleration of the indebtedness under such loan agreements. In the event that our lenders accelerate the repayment of the indebtedness under any loan agreement, we would not have sufficient resources and/or cash flow to repay the indebtedness. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

We have renegotiated financial covenants and/or refinanced our indebtedness in the past but there is no assurance we will be able to successfully renegotiate or refinance all or any portion of our indebtedness in the future. If we were unable to repay or otherwise refinance the indebtedness under the loan agreements upon acceleration or when otherwise due, our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure our obligations under the loan agreements, which could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and our other ongoing liquidity needs, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our indebtedness obligations and to fund our operating expenses, planned capital expenditures, and other ongoing liquidity needs depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities or that future borrowings will be available to us under our loan agreements or otherwise in an amount sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, to seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to pursue other alternatives, including the disposition of material assets or operations, in order to satisfy our debt service and other obligations. However, we may not be able to consummate certain dispositions or financing transactions or to obtain any proceeds on terms acceptable to us or at all, and any such proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

Our business activities may require additional financing that might not be obtainable on acceptable terms, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and our ability to operate going forward.

Although there can be no assurance, in the event we are successful in addressing our forecasted covenant violations for 2016, the Company believes that, based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows, it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Report with the SEC. Our capital requirements continue to depend on numerous factors, including the timing and amount of revenue, the expense to deliver our services, expense for sales and marketing, capital improvements, expense for research and development, and the cost involved in protecting our proprietary rights. If we are unable to increase our revenue or achieve profitability, or if unforeseen events occur that would require additional funding, we may need to raise capital or incur additional debt to fund our operations. We would expect to seek such capital through sales of additional equity or debt securities and/or loans from financial institutions, but there can be no assurance that funds will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, and any sales of such securities may be dilutive to investors. Failure to obtain

- 8 -

financing or obtaining financing on unfavorable terms could result in a decrease in our stock price and would have a material adverse effect on future operating prospects, or require us to significantly reduce operations.

We have a history of substantial net losses and we may incur future net losses.

We have reported a substantial net loss from operations in fiscal years 2013 through 2015 . We cannot assure you that we will achieve revenue growth or profitability or generate positive cash flow on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If we do not achieve profitability in the future, the value of our common stock may be adversely impacted and we could have difficulty obtaining capital to continue our operations.

We may incur substantial legal costs in litigation defense.

On July 23, 2015, UTC Associates Inc. (“UTC”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company. On September 22, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 13, 2015, in response to the Company’s motion, UTC filed an amended complaint. On November 2, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On February 1, 2016, the Court partially granted and partially denied the dismissal motion. The Court dismissed with prejudice the fraud claim and declined to dismiss the two breach of contract claims. This matter involves allegations that Glowpoint has failed to pay amounts allegedly due under a Technology Development & Operations Outsourcing arrangement dated June 30, 2010. UTC seeks monetary damages totaling $2,107,000 , including $1,107,000 for damages arising from the breach of an alleged guaranteed minimum provision, and $1,000,000 for damages arising from the breach of an alleged exclusivity provision. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company may incur substantial legal costs to defend this matter, and management may be required to focus its attention and time on this matter. To the extent there is an adverse outcome with respect to this litigation, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success is highly dependent on the evolution of our overall market and on general economic conditions.

The market for video communication services is evolving rapidly. Although certain industry analysts project significant growth for this market, their projections may not be realized. Our future growth depends on acceptance and adoption of video communications. There can be no assurance that the market for our services will grow, that our services will be adopted or that businesses will purchase our suite of managed video services. If we are unable to react quickly to changes in the market, if the market fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected, or if our services do not achieve market acceptance, then we are unlikely to achieve profitability. Additionally, current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

We rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of any one of those customers, or several of our smaller customers, could materially harm our business.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2015, two major customers accounted for 12% and 10% , respectively, of our total revenue. The composition of our significant customers will vary from period to period, we expect that most of our revenue will continue, for the foreseeable future, to come from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, our financial results may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period based on the actions of one or more significant customers. A customer may take actions that affect us for reasons that we cannot anticipate or control, such as reasons related to the customer’s financial condition, changes in the customer’s business strategy or operations, changes in technology and the introduction of alternative competing products, or as the result of the perceived quality or cost-effectiveness of our products. Our agreements with these customers may be canceled if we materially breach the agreement or for other reasons outside of our control such as insolvency or financial hardship that may result in a customer filing for bankruptcy court protection against unsecured creditors. In addition, our customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of current agreements or renewals. The loss of or a reduction in sales or anticipated sales to our most significant or several of our smaller customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive market and many of our competitors have greater financial resources and established relationships with major corporate customers.

The video communications industry is highly competitive and includes large, well-financed participants. Many of these organizations have substantially greater financial and other resources than us, furnish some of the same services provided by us, and have established relationships with major corporate customers that have policies of purchasing directly from them. The Company’s competitors offer services similar to ours both on a bundled and un-bundled basis, creating a highly competitive

- 9 -

environment with pressure on pricing of such services. We believe that as the demand for video communications systems continues to increase, additional competitors, many of which may have greater resources than us, will continue to enter the video communications market.

There is limited market awareness of Glowpoint’s services.

Our future success will be dependent in significant part on our ability to generate demand for our video collaboration services. To this end, our direct marketing and indirect sales operations must increase market awareness of our service offerings to generate increased revenue. We have limited sales and marketing resources, with 8 employees in sales and marketing as of December 31, 2015 , and without additional capital, we have limited resources and/or cash flow for spending on advertising, marketing and additional personnel. Our products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective customers. If we were to hire new employees in sales and marketing, those employees will require training and take time to achieve full productivity. We cannot be certain that our new hires will become as productive as necessary or that we will be able to hire enough qualified individuals or retain existing employees in the future. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in our efforts to market and sell our products and services, and if we are not successful in building market awareness and generating increased sales, future results of operations will be adversely affected.

As we expand our managed services offerings, any system failures or interruptions may cause loss of customers.

Our success depends, in part, on the seamless, uninterrupted operation of our managed service offerings. As we continue to expand these services, and as the complexity and volume continue to increase, we will face increasing demands and challenges in managing them. Any prolonged failure of these services or other systems or hardware that cause significant interruptions to our operations could seriously damage our reputation and result in customer attrition and financial loss.

We rely on third-party software that may be difficult to replace or may not perform adequately.

We integrate third-party licensed software components into our technology infrastructure (e.g., ServiceNow Inc.) in order to provide our services. This software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or pricing or may fail to continue to be updated to remain competitive. The loss of the right to use this third-party software may increase our expenses or impact the provisioning of our services. The failure of this third-party software could materially impact the performance of our services and may cause material harm to our business or results of operations.

We depend upon our network providers and facilities infrastructure.

Our success depends upon our ability to implement, expand and adapt our network infrastructure and support services to accommodate an increasing amount of video traffic and evolving customer requirements at an acceptable cost. This has required and will continue to require that we enter into agreements with providers of infrastructure capacity, equipment, facilities and support services on an ongoing basis. We cannot ensure that any of these agreements can be obtained on satisfactory terms and conditions. We also anticipate that future expansions and adaptations of our network infrastructure facilities may be necessary in order to respond to growth in the number of customers served.

Our network could fail, which could negatively impact our revenues.

To an extent, our success depends upon our ability to deliver reliable, high-speed access to our channels’ and customers’ data centers and upon the ability and willingness of our telecommunications providers to deliver reliable, high-speed telecommunications service through their networks. Our network and facilities, and other networks and facilities providing services to us, are vulnerable to damage, unauthorized accessor cessation of operations from human error and tampering, breaches of security, fires, earthquakes, severe storms, power losses, telecommunications failures, software defects, intentional acts of vandalism including computer viruses, and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems at the network operations center, key sites at which we locate routers, switches and other computer equipment that make up the backbone of our service offering and hosted infrastructure, or at one or more of our partners’ data centers, could substantially and adversely impact our business. We cannot ensure that we will not experience failures or shutdowns relating to individual facilities or even catastrophic failure of the entire network or hosted infrastructure. Any damage to, or failure of, our systems or service providers could result in reductions in, or terminations of, services supplied to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our network depends upon telecommunications carriers who could limit or deny us access to their network or fail to perform, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

- 10 -

We rely upon the ability and willingness of certain telecommunications carriers and other corporations to provide us with reliable high-speed telecommunications service through their networks. If these telecommunications carriers and other corporations decide not to continue to provide service to us through their networks on substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, price, early termination liability, and installation interval), if at all, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, many of our service level objectives are dependent upon satisfactory performance by our telecommunications carriers. If they fail to so perform, it may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of providing video communications services, we transmit sensitive and proprietary information of our customers. We are dependent on the proper function, availability and security of our information systems, including without limitation those systems utilized in our operations. We have undertaken measures to protect the safety and security of our information systems and the data maintained within those systems, and on an annual basis, we test the adequacy of our security measures. As part of our efforts, we may be required to expend significant capital to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches, including unauthorized access to proprietary customer data stored in our information systems and the introduction of computer malware to our systems. However, there can be no assurance our safety and security measures will detect and prevent security breaches in a timely manner or otherwise prevent damage or interruption of our systems and operations. We may be vulnerable to losses associated with the improper functioning, security breach or unavailability of our information systems. We may be held liable to our affiliates and customers, which could result in reputational damage, litigation, or negative publicity.

We may experience material disconnections and/or reductions in the prices of our services and may not be able to replace the loss of revenues.

Historically, we have experienced both significant disconnections of services and also reductions in the prices of our services. In order to realize anticipated revenues and cash flows, we endeavor to obtain long-term commitments from new customers, as well as expand our relationships with current customers. The disconnection of services by our significant customers or by several of our smaller customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Service contract durations and termination liabilities are defined within the terms and conditions of our agreements with our customers. Termination of services in our existing agreements require a minimum of 30 days’ notice and are subject to early termination penalties equal to the amount of accrued and unpaid charges including the remaining term length multiplied by any fixed monthly fees. The standard form of service agreement with Glowpoint includes an auto-renewal clause at the end of each term if the customer does not choose to terminate service at that time. Certain customers and partners negotiate master agreements with custom termination liabilities that differ from our standard form of service agreement.

We may be unable to adequately respond to rapid changes in technology.

The market for our video collaboration services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent product introductions. The introduction of products and services embodying new technology and the emergence of new industry standards may render our existing managed video services obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to adapt to change. A significant factor in our ability to grow and to remain competitive is our ability to successfully introduce new products and services that embody new technology, anticipate and incorporate evolving industry standards and achieve levels of functionality and price acceptable to the market. If our managed video services are unable to meet expectations or unable to keep pace with technological changes in the video communication industry, our managed video services could eventually become obsolete. We may be unable to allocate the funds necessary to upgrade our managed video services as improvements in video communication technologies are introduced. In the event that other companies develop more advanced service offerings, our competitive position relative to such companies would be harmed.

Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.

Our future success and competitive position depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain certain proprietary intellectual property to be used in connection with our services. While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation, we could become subject to lawsuits in which it is alleged that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or we could commence lawsuits against others who we believe are infringing upon our rights. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affecting the development of sales of the challenged product and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor.

- 11 -

In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to: pay substantial damages; cease the development, use or sale of services that infringe upon other patented intellectual property; expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property; discontinue the use or incorporation of infringing technology; or obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property. We cannot ensure that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available upon reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources and could have a negative effect on our business and financial results.

An adverse outcome as plaintiff, in addition to the costs involved, may, among other things, result in the loss of the intellectual property (such as a patent) that was the subject of the lawsuit by a determination of invalidity or unenforceability, significantly increase competition as a result of such determination, and require the payment of penalties resulting from counterclaims by the defendant.

We may not be able to protect the rights to our intellectual property.

Failure to protect our existing intellectual property rights may result in the loss of our exclusivity or the right to use our technologies. If we do not adequately ensure our freedom to use certain technology, we may have to pay others for rights to use their intellectual property, pay damages for infringement or misappropriation and/or be enjoined from using such intellectual property. We rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. Some of our intellectual property is not covered by any patent. As we further develop our services and related intellectual property, we expect to seek additional patent protection. Our patent position is subject to complex factual and legal issues that may give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of a particular patent. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that: any of the patents owned by us or other patents that other parties license to us in the future will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered unenforceable or licensed to others; any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of claim coverage sought by us, if issued at all; or any patents owned by or licensed to us, although valid, will not be dominated by a patent or patents to others having broader claims. Additionally, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain foreign countries.

We also seek to protect our proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements. We cannot ensure that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships.

We are exposed to the credit and other counterparty risk of our customers in the ordinary course of our business.

Our customers have varying degrees of creditworthiness and we may not always be able to fully anticipate or detect deterioration in their creditworthiness and overall financial condition, which could expose us to an increased risk of nonpayment under our contracts with them. In the event that a material customer or customers default on their payment obligations to us, discontinue buying services from us or use their buying power with us to reduce our revenue, this could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our future plans could be adversely affected if we are unable to attract or retain key personnel.

We have attracted a highly skilled management team and specialized workforce. Our future success is dependent in part on attracting and retaining qualified management and technical personnel. Our inability to hire qualified personnel on a timely basis, or the departure of key employees (including Peter Holst, our President and CEO) could materially and adversely affect our business development and therefore, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

If our actual liability for sales and use taxes and regulatory fees is different from our accrued liability, it could have a material impact on our financial condition.

Each state has different rules and regulations governing sales and use taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. We review these rules and regulations periodically and, when we believe our services are subject to sales and use taxes in a particular state, voluntarily engage state tax authorities in order to determine how to comply with their rules and regulations. Vendors of services, like us, are typically held responsible by taxing authorities for the collection and payment of any applicable sales and similar taxes. If one or more taxing authorities determines that taxes should have, but have not, been paid with respect to our services, we may be liable for past taxes in addition to taxes going forward. Liability for past taxes may also include very substantial interest and penalty charges. Our client contracts provide that our clients must pay all applicable sales and similar taxes. Nevertheless, clients may be reluctant to pay back taxes and may refuse responsibility

- 12 -

for interest or penalties associated with those taxes. If we are required to collect and pay back taxes and the associated interest and penalties, and if our clients fail or refuse to reimburse us for all or a portion of these amounts, we will have incurred unplanned expenses that may be substantial. Moreover, imposition of such taxes on our services going forward will effectively increase the cost of such services to our clients and may adversely affect our ability to retain existing clients or to gain new clients in the areas in which such taxes are imposed. We may also become subject to tax audits or similar procedures in states where we already pay sales and use taxes. The assessment of taxes, interest, and penalties as a result of audits, litigation, or otherwise could be materially adverse to our current and future results of operations and financial condition.

We depend upon suppliers and have limited sources for some services.

We rely on other companies to supply some components of our network infrastructure and the means to access our network. Certain products and services that we resell and certain components that we require for our network are available only from limited sources. We could be adversely affected if such sources were to become unavailable to us on commercially reasonable terms. We cannot ensure that, on an ongoing basis, we will be able to obtain third-party services cost-effectively and on the scale and within the time frames that we require, if at all. Failure to obtain or to continue to make use of such third-party services would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to properly manage the distribution of our services could result in a loss of revenues.

We currently sell our services both directly to customers and through channel partners. Successfully managing the interaction of our direct and indirect sales channels to reach various potential customers for our services is a complex process. Each sales channel has distinct risks and costs, and therefore, our failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the sales model for our services could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

We incur significant accounting and administrative costs as a publicly traded corporation that impact our financial condition.

As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Some of our competitors are privately owned so their comparatively lower accounting and administrative costs can be a competitive disadvantage for us. Should our sales decline or if we are unsuccessful at increasing prices to cover higher expenditures for internal controls and audits, our costs associated with regulatory compliance will rise as a percentage of sales.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders may not be confident in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect the price of our stock and harm our business.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annual report on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Although we believe that we currently have adequate internal control procedures in place, we cannot be certain that our internal controls over financial reporting will remain effective. If we cannot adequately maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we may be subject to liability and/or sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.

Risks Relating To Our Securities

Our common stock is thinly traded and subject to volatile price fluctuations.

Our common stock is thinly traded, and it is therefore susceptible to wide price swings. Our common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “GLOW.” Thinly traded stocks are more susceptible to significant and sudden price changes and the liquidity of our common stock depends upon the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers. We cannot ensure that you will be able to find a buyer for your shares. We cannot ensure that an organized public market for our securities will develop or that there will be any private demand for our common stock. We could also fail to satisfy the standards for continued exchange listing, such as standards having to do with a minimum share price, the minimum number of public shareholders or the aggregate market value of publicly held shares. Any holder of our securities should regard them as a long-term investment and should be prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in our securities for an indefinite period.

Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on the marketability of our securities.

- 13 -

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock is presently subject to these regulations which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a “penny stock,” unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the “penny stock” market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the “penny stock” held in the account and information on the limited market in “penny stocks.” Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may negatively affect the ability of purchasers of our shares of common stock to sell such securities.

Future operating results may vary from quarter to quarter, and we may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors at any given time.

We have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results. Factors that cause fluctuation in our results of operations include lack of growth or declines in revenue and our ability to control expenses relative to our revenue. Accordingly, it is possible that in one or more future quarters our operating results will be adversely affected and fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If this happens, the trading price of our common stock may decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us and our stockholders to sell our equity securities in the future.

Resale into the public market of a significant number of shares issued in prior financings could depress the trading price of our common stock and make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell equity securities in the future. In addition, to the extent other restricted shares become freely available for sale, whether through an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or if we issue additional shares that might be or become freely available for sale, our stock price could decrease.

Although the sale of shares to the public might increase the liquidity of our stockholders’ investments, the increase in the number of shares available for public sale could drive the price of our common stock down, thus reducing the value of your investment and perhaps hindering our ability to raise additional funds in the future.

Item 2. Properties

Our headquarters are located at 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 1300, in Denver, Colorado 80203. These premises consist of approximately 9,500 square feet of leased office space for which base rent is approximately $212,000 per year. We also lease office space in Oxnard, California that houses our bridging services group, help desk and technical personnel in approximately 3,400 square feet, the base rent of which is approximately $80,000 per year.

The Company leased office space in New Jersey on a month-to-month basis during the year ended December 31, 2014 through March 1, 2015 and from October 1, 2015 through March 2016. Effective in March 2016, the Company terminated the lease and no longer leases office space in New Jersey.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related notes attached hereto. All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated future capital requirements, our future development plans, our ability to obtain debt, equity or other financing, and our ability to generate cash from operations, are based on current expectations. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future.

Business

During 2015 , we experienced a 21% decline in total revenue as compared to 2014 , as discussed further below. Our business and revenue trends are affected by the current dynamic and competitive environment for video communications and network services. As of December 31, 2015 , we had $1,764,000 of cash and working capital of $2,333,000 . As discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, we are currently exploring various alternatives to address our forecasted violations of our financial covenants during 2016, which may include renegotiation of our loan agreement with our senior lender, a capital raise, conversion of a portion of our debt to equity or a debt refinancing. In the event we are successful in addressing our forecasted covenant violations for 2016, the Company believes that, based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows, it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Report. We believe that in order to reverse our revenue trends and ultimately increase sales, the Company will require additional capital to fund investments in sales and marketing and research and development to continually develop and enhance our service offerings.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2015 (“ 2015 ”) versus Year Ended December 31, 2014 (“ 2014 ”)

Revenue. Total revenue decreased $6,615,000 (or 21% ) in 2015 to $25,541,000 from $32,156,000 in 2014 . This decrease is mainly attributable to: (i) a decrease of $4,569,000 in video collaboration services, (ii) a decrease of $1,580,000 in network services, and (iii) a decrease of $466,000 in professional and other services. These decreases are discussed in more detail below.



	Year Ended December 31, (in thousands)
	2015		% of Revenue		2014		% of Revenue
Revenue
Video collaboration services	$	14,322	56	%	$	18,891	59	%
Network services	10,420		41	%	12,000		37	%
Professional and other services	799		3	%	1,265		4	%
Total revenue	$	25,541	100	%	$	32,156	100	%

The following are the changes in the components of our revenue from 2014 to 2015 :

•

Revenue for video collaboration services decreased $4,569,000 (or 24% ) to $14,322,000 in 2015 , from $18,891,000 in 2014 . This decrease is mainly attributable to the following: (i) approximately 45% of the $4,569,000 decrease is due to lower 2015 revenue from our largest customer in 2014 as this customer stopped using our services as of June 30, 2015 (see discussion in “Customers” heading in Item 1), (ii) approximately 31% of the $4,569,000 decrease is due to lower revenue related to video meeting suites resulting from a customer shift in favor of desktop and mobile video products and technologies, and (iii) approximately 24% of the $4,569,000 decrease is due to net attrition of customers and other factors.


•	Revenue for network services decreased $1,580,000 (or 13% ) to $10,420,000 in 2015 from $12,000,000 in 2014 . This decrease is mainly attributable to net attrition of customers and lower demand for our services given the competitive environment and pressure on pricing that currently exists in the network services business.


•	Revenue for professional and other services decreased $466,000 (or 37% ) to $799,000 in 2015 from $1,265,000 in 2014 . This decrease is primarily attributable to a $655,000 decline in professional support services during 2015 for our largest customer in 2014 (as discussed above), partially offset by an increase in the resale of equipment.

We expect our revenue trends from 2014 to 2015 will continue in 2016 given the current dynamic and competitive environment for video collaboration and network services, and due to the limited resources we have to invest in sales and marketing to increase revenue. We remain focused on new customer acquisition and increasing sales of our next-generation video collaboration solutions. We believe sales cycles associated with selling our services directly to enterprise IT organizations and through our channel partners typically range from six to eighteen months. These factors create uncertainty as to when, and if, we will be able to stabilize and ultimately grow our revenue.

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) . Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, includes all internal and external costs related to the delivery of revenue. Cost of revenue also includes the cost for taxes which have been billed to customers. Cost of revenue decreased to $14,844,000 in 2015 from $18,294,000 in 2014 . Cost of revenue, as a percentage of total revenue, was 58% and 57% for 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The $3,450,000 decrease in cost of revenue from 2014 to 2015 is mainly attributable to lower costs associated with the $6,615,000 decrease in revenue during the same period. We reduced costs in the following areas in 2015 to keep our gross margin percentage fairly level from 2014 to 2015 : personnel costs, network costs and external costs associated with video meeting suites.

Research and Development . Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to the development of new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services. Research and development increased $331,000

- 17 -

to $1,350,000 in 2015 from $1,019,000 in 2014 , primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs due to higher average headcount in research and development during 2015 .

Sales and Marketing . Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1,260,000 to $2,047,000 in 2015 from $3,307,000 in 2014 . This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel costs due to lower headcount. We reduced our total headcount in sales and marketing from 18 as of December 31, 2014 to 8 as of December 31, 2015 .

General and Administrative . General and administrative expenses include direct corporate expenses related to costs of personnel in the various corporate support categories, including executive, legal, finance, human resources and information technology. General and administrative expenses decreased $227,000 to $5,416,000 in 2015 from $5,643,000 in 2014 . This decrease is mainly attributable to the following: (i) a decrease in personnel costs of $430,000 and (ii) a decrease in severance charges of $93,000, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $318,000.

Impairment Charges . Impairment charges decreased $2,204,000 to $138,000 in 2015 from $2,342,000 in 2014 . This decrease is mainly attributable to the following impairment charges we recorded in 2014 with no corresponding charges in 2015: (i) $1,696,000 related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Affinity VideoNet, Inc. (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion), (ii) $253,000 related to vacating our Pennsylvania office space during the first quarter of 2014 and (iii) $244,000 related to abandoned software projects.

Depreciation and Amortization . Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $500,000 to $2,235,000 in 2015 from $2,735,000 in 2014 . This decrease is mainly attributable to a $390,000 decrease in amortization expense related to intangible assets associated with the Affinity acquisition, as the book value of these assets was reduced in 2014 in connection with the impairment charge discussed above.

Loss from Operations. Loss from operations decreased to $489,000 in 2015 from $1,184,000 in 2014 . The decrease in our loss from operations is mainly attributable to a decrease in our operating expenses as discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in revenue.

Interest and Other Expense, Net . Interest and other expense in 2015 was $1,484,000 , comprised of: (i) $1,397,000 of interest expense on outstanding debt, net of interest income of $1,000 , and (ii) $87,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to our debt obligations. Interest and other expense, net in 2014 was $1,432,000 , comprised of: (i) $1,343,000 of interest expense on outstanding debt, net of interest income of $5,000 , and (ii) $89,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to our debt obligations. This $52,000 increase in interest and other expense is primarily attributable to an increase in the interest rate of the SRS Note during 2015 (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements).

Income Taxes. For 2015, income tax expense of $170,000 was recorded as compared to $139,000 for 2014 (see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements).

Net Loss . Net Loss decreased to $2,143,000 in 2015 from $2,755,000 in 2014 . The $612,000 decrease in our net loss is mainly attributable to a decrease in our loss from operations of $695,000 , discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, taxes, severance, stock-based compensation, impairment charges and interest and other expense, net. AEBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, AEBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and is used in the calculation of financial covenants in the Main Street Loan Agreement. AEBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. A reconciliation of AEBITDA to net loss is shown below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2015 , we had $1,764,000 of cash and working capital of $2,333,000 . Our cash balance as of December 31, 2015 includes restricted cash of $83,000 (as discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements). For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , we generated net losses of $2,143,000 and $2,755,000 , respectively, and net cash provided by operating activities of $1,237,000 and $1,785,000 , respectively. We generated cash flow from operations even though we incurred net losses as our net losses include certain non-cash expenses that are added back to our cash flow from operations (as shown on our consolidated statements of cash flows). A substantial portion of our cash flow from operations is dedicated to the payment of interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and investments in sales and marketing. During the year ended December 31, 2015, our cash flow from operations was reduced by $1,199,000 for interest payments on our indebtedness.

In October 2013, we completed a refinancing of the Company’s former debt obligations and entered into a new loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”), as lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Main Street Loan Agreement”). The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Main Street Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Main Street Revolver”). As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had outstanding borrowings of $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $400,000 on the Main Street Revolver.

Borrowings under the Main Street Term Loan and Main Street Revolver mature on October 17, 2018 and October 17, 2016, respectively, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Main Street Loan Agreement. The Main Street Loan Agreement provides that the Main Street Term Loan borrowings bear interest at 12% per annum and the Main Street Revolver borrowings bear interest at 8% per annum. Interest payments on the outstanding borrowings under both the Main Street Term Loan and Main Street Revolver are due monthly. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Main Street Term Loan through the maturity date in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow generated by the Company during the trailing fiscal quarter (Excess Cash Flow is defined in the Main Street Loan Agreement and effectively equal to cash flow from operations less capital expenditures less principal payments on capital leases). In the event there are outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Revolver, any quarterly principal payments are first applied to the Main Street Revolver and then to the Main Street Term Loan. During 2015 and 2014 , the Company made principal payments of $613,000 and $249,000 respectively on the Main Street Revolver and no principal payments on the Main Street Term Loan. During 2015 and 2014 , the Company received advances on the Main Street Revolver of $613,000 and $249,000 , respectively.

As of December 31, 2015 , the current portion of long-term debt recorded on the Company’s balance sheet was $400,000 and represents the outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Revolver. The Company expects that any principal payments under the Main Street Loan Agreement, which are based on 50% of Excess Cash Flow as discussed above, will be applied to outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Revolver during the twelve months ending December 31, 2016 . Therefore, the Company expects that no principal payments will be applied against the Main Street Term Loan during 2016 ; and thus all outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Term Loan are classified as long term debt as of December 31, 2015 . The principal payments related to these debt agreements are estimates and actual payments may vary. Assuming $9,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Term Loan during 2016 , the Company projects interest payments of $1,080,000 in 2016 on the Main Street Term Loan.

- 19 -

In connection with the October 2012 acquisition of Affinity, the Company issued a promissory note (the “SRS Note”) to Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”), on behalf of the prior stockholders of Affinity. As of December 31, 2015 , the principal balance on the SRS Note was $1,785,000 . On February 27, 2015, the Company amended and restated the SRS Note. The amended SRS Note, (i) extended the maturity date from January 4, 2016 to July 6, 2017, (ii) increased the interest rate from 10% to 15% per annum effective March 1, 2015 and (iii) revised the payment of interest from quarterly in arrears to payment on July 6, 2017 of all interest earned after March 1, 2015, unless certain trailing AEBITDA targets are met as defined in the agreement. The Company is required to make monthly principal payments in the amount of $50,000 in the event the Company’s trailing three month AEBITDA exceeds $1,500,000 . The Company is required to make additional payments on the principal amount over the remaining term of the SRS Note in an amount equal to 40% of the sum of the Company’s trailing six month AEBITDA less $3,000,000. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company made principal payments of $0 and $100,000 , respectively, on the SRS Note based on achievement of the AEBITDA threshold. We expect no principal or interest payments will be required during 2016 on the SRS Note, and accrued interest on the SRS Note will increase from $238,000 as of December 31, 2015 to $556,000 as of December 31, 2016.

Net cash used in investing activities for 2015 and 2014 was $1,244,000 and $2,172,000 , respectively, primarily related to capitalized software costs included in purchase of property and equipment. For 2016, we expect to reduce capital expenditures as compared to 2015 in response to trends in our business.

Net cash used in financing activities for 2015 was $167,000 , primarily attributable to (i) purchase of treasury stock of $140,000 on behalf of employees and members of our board to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements and (ii) $43,000 of principal payments on our capital lease obligations, offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock of $18,000 .

Net cash provided by financing activities for 2014 was $31,000 , attributable to $377,000 of net proceeds from an ATM Offering (see Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion), partially offset by (i) $216,000 of principal payments on our capital lease obligations, (ii) purchase of treasury stock of $66,000 on behalf of employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, and (iii) payment of $59,000 in debt issuance costs related to the Main Street Loan Agreement.

As of December 31, 2015 , we have availability of $1,370,000 under the Main Street Revolver and $2,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan (subject to approval by Main Street under the terms of the Main Street Loan Agreement). There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to access the availability from the Main Street Revolver and/or Main Street Term Loan in the future. Based on the Company’s current financial projections for 2016 , we believe that it is likely that the Company will violate both the existing fixed charge coverage ratio and the debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenants beginning in mid- 2016 . We are currently exploring various alternatives to address our forecasted violations of our financial covenants during 2016, which may include renegotiation of our loan agreement with Main Street, a capital raise, conversion of a portion of our debt to equity or a debt refinancing. We expect to continually adjust our cost of revenue and other operating expenses to partially offset the impact of revenue declines associated with our legacy services as discussed above. In the event we are successful in addressing our forecasted covenant violations for 2016, the Company believes that, based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows, it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Report. If the Company were to violate any of its covenants under its senior loan agreement or its other debt arrangements, any such violations could cause an acceleration of the indebtedness under such loan agreements. In the event that our lenders accelerate the repayment of the indebtedness under any loan agreement, we would not have sufficient resources and/or cash flow to repay the indebtedness. We have renegotiated financial covenants and/or refinanced our indebtedness in the past but there is no assurance we will be able to successfully renegotiate or refinance all or any portion of our indebtedness in the future. If we were unable to repay or otherwise refinance the indebtedness under the loan agreements upon acceleration or when otherwise due, our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure our obligations under the loan agreements, which could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. In the event we need access to capital to fund operations and provide growth capital beyond our existing Main Street credit facility, we would likely need to raise capital in one or more equity offerings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising necessary capital or that any such offering will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to access availability from the Main Street credit facility and/or raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements attached

- 20 -

hereto. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue billed in advance for video collaboration services is deferred until the revenue has been earned, which is when the related services have been performed. Other service revenue, including amounts passed through based on surcharges from our telecom carriers, related to the network services and collaboration services are recognized as service is provided. As the non-refundable, upfront installation and activation fees charged to our customers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the customer relationship. Revenue related to professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed, and presented as required by ASC Topic 605 “ Revenue Recognition”. Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable.

Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable as required by ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, then the related assets will be written down to fair value. During 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded impairment charges of $131,000 and $145,000 , respectively, primarily consisting of furniture, network equipment, and leasehold improvements no longer being utilized in the Company’s business.

Capitalized Software Costs. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. All software development costs have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 350-40 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software”. Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and Equipment” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three to four years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , we capitalized internal use software costs of $956,000 and we amortized $692,000 of these costs. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , we capitalized internal use software costs of $1,343,000 and we amortized $588,000 of these costs. During 2015 and 2014 , we recorded impairment charges of $7,000 and $248,000 respectively, for certain discrete projects that were abandoned.

Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” . We test for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. The Company operates in a single reporting unit. We established November 30 as the date of our annual impairment test for goodwill. We determined the fair value of our reporting unit using a combination of a market-based approach using quoted market prices in active markets and the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology. The DCF methodology requires us to make key assumptions such as projected future cash flows, growth rates, terminal value and a weighted average cost of capital. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Based on the goodwill impairment test performed at November 30, 2015 , the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required. However, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute on its business plan, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

Intangible Assets . Intangible assets include customer relationships, affiliate network and trademarks recorded in connection with the acquisition of Affinity in October 2012. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from five years to twelve years in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” . Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Fair value of our intangible assets is determined using the relief from royalty methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each intangible asset and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. The Company performed its annual evaluation of intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2015 , and determined that the fair value of the long-

- 21 -

lived assets exceeds the carrying value, therefore no impairment charges are required for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,696,000 on these intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2014 (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion).

Inflation

Management does not believe inflation had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated. The new standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Management adopted ASU 2014-15 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and our accompanying consolidated financial statements incorporate all required disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU requires retrospective adoption and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We expect the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. For public business entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. We expect the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Subtopic 740-10). The amendments in this update require deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent regardless of the classification of the underlying assets and liabilities. For public companies, the amendments will be effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-05 on our financial statements and disclosures.

- 22 -

In February 2016, the FASB created Topic 842 and issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The guidance in this update supersedes Topic 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use assets and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments on the balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements and disclosures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2015 . Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2015 , the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and have concluded that no change has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015 .

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Glowpoint, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glowpoint, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2015 . The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Glowpoint, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company will likely violate its financial covenants included in its long-term debt agreement which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - The Business

The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000. In October 2012, the Company acquired Affinity VideoNet, Inc. (“Affinity”), a service provider for public videoconference suites and managed videoconferencing. The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Note 2 - Liquidity and Going Concern, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2015 , we had $1,764,000 of cash and working capital of $2,333,000 . Our cash balance as of December 31, 2015 includes restricted cash of $83,000 (as discussed in Note 3). For the year ended December 31, 2015 , we generated a net loss of $2,143,000 and net cash provided by operating activities of $1,237,000 . We generated cash flow from operations even though we incurred a net loss as our net loss includes certain non-cash expenses that are added back to our cash flow from operations as shown on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

In October 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”), as lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Main Street Loan Agreement”). The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Main Street Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Main Street Revolver”). As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had outstanding borrowings of $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $400,000 on the Main Street Revolver (see Note 6).

As of December 31, 2015 , we have availability of $1,370,000 under the Main Street Revolver and $2,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan (subject to approval by Main Street under the terms of the Main Street Loan Agreement). There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to access the availability from the Main Street Revolver and/or Main Street Term Loan in the future. Based on the Company’s current financial projections for 2016, we believe that it is likely that the Company will violate both the existing fixed charge coverage ratio and the debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenants beginning in mid-2016. We are currently exploring various alternatives to address our forecasted violations of our financial covenants during 2016, which may include renegotiation of our loan agreement with our senior lender, a capital raise, conversion of a portion of our debt to equity or a debt refinancing. In the event we are successful in addressing our forecasted covenant violations for 2016, the Company believes that, based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows, it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Report. If the Company were to violate any of its covenants under its senior loan agreement or its other debt arrangements, any such violations could cause an acceleration of the indebtedness under such loan agreements. In the event that our lenders accelerate the repayment of the indebtedness under any loan agreement, we would not have sufficient resources and/or cash flow to repay the indebtedness. We have renegotiated financial covenants and/or refinanced our indebtedness in the past but there is no assurance we will be able to successfully renegotiate or refinance all or any portion of our indebtedness in the future. If we were unable to repay or otherwise refinance the indebtedness under the loan agreements upon acceleration or when otherwise due, our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure our obligations under the loan agreements, which could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. In the event we need access to capital to fund operations and provide growth capital beyond our existing Main Street credit facility, we would likely need to raise capital in one or more equity offerings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising necessary capital or that any such offering will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to access availability from the Main Street credit facility and/or raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to

- F 6 -

us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glowpoint and our 100% -owned subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2015 our only subsidiary is GP Communications, LLC, whose business function is to provide interstate telecommunications services for regulatory purposes. On December 31, 2014, the Company merged Affinity, its former wholly owned subsidiary, into the Company. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax valuation allowance, accrued sales taxes, the valuation of goodwill, the valuation of intangible assets and their estimated lives, and the estimated lives and recoverability of property and equipment.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $45,000 and $54,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers its cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable to meet the definition of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our debt obligations (see Note 6) approximate their fair values, which are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral, and maturity.

The Company measures fair value as required by the ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


•	Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.


•	Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.


•	Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

- F 7 -

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company did not have any unobservable inputs as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 or during the years then ended.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue billed in advance for video collaboration services is deferred until the revenue has been earned, which is when the related services have been performed. Other service revenue, including amounts passed through based on surcharges from our telecom carriers, related to the network services and collaboration services are recognized as service is provided. As the non-refundable, upfront installation and activation fees charged to our customers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the 12 to 24 month period estimated life of the customer relationship. Revenue related to professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed. Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur.

Taxes Billed to Customers and Remitted to Taxing Authorities

We recognize taxes billed to customers in revenue and taxes remitted to taxing authorities in our cost of revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , we included taxes of $1,070,000 and $1,233,000 , respectively, in revenue and we included taxes of $1,032,000 and $1,197,000 , respectively, in cost of revenue.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASC Topic 350”). We test for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. The Company operates as a single reporting unit. We established November 30 as the date of our annual impairment test for goodwill. We determined the fair value of our reporting unit using a combination of a market-based approach using quoted market prices in active markets and the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology. The DCF methodology requires us to make key assumptions such as projected future cash flows, growth rates, terminal value and a weighted average cost of capital. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Based on the goodwill impairment tests performed at November 30, 2015 , the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required. However, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute on its business plan, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of fixed assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, then the related assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value of our intangible assets is determined using the relief from royalty methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each intangible asset and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each intangible asset. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset is greater than its implied fair value, an impairment in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations.

The determination of related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments, related primarily to the future profitability and/or future value of the assets. Changes in the Company’s strategic plan and/or other-than-temporary changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and could require adjustments to recorded asset balances. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment at least annually, as well as whenever an event or change in circumstances has occurred that could have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of long-lived assets.

Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. All software development costs have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 350.40 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software”. Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and Equipment” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three to four years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , we capitalized internal use software costs of $956,000 and we amortized $692,000 of these costs. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , we capitalized internal use software costs of $1,343,000 and we amortized $588,000 of these costs. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , we recorded impairment losses of $7,000 and $248,000 , respectively, for certain discrete projects that were abandoned. These charges are recognized as “Impairment Charges” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs, included in other assets, relate to fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into our debt agreements (see Note 6), and are amortized as interest expense over the contractual lives of the related credit facilities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash primarily in commercial checking accounts. Commercial bank balances may from time to time exceed federal insurance limits.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset’s useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Property and equipment include fixed assets subject to capital leases which are depreciated over the life of the respective asset.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based awards have been accounted for as required by ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC Topic 718”). Under ASC Topic 718 share based awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant, and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service period. The Company values its stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to the development of new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services.

Accounting Standards Update

- F 9 -

using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated. The new standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Management adopted ASU 2014-15 for the year ending December 31, 2015 and our accompanying consolidated financial statements incorporate all required disclosures.

Note 3 - Restricted Cash

As of December 31, 2015 , our cash balance of $1,764,000 included restricted cash of $83,000 . The $83,000 pertains to a letter of credit that serves as the security deposit for our lease of office space in Colorado (as discussed in Note 16), and is secured by an equal amount of cash pledged as collateral, and such cash is held in a restricted bank account. As of December 31, 2014 , our cash balance of $1,938,000 included restricted cash of $242,000 .

Related depreciation and amortization expense was $1,366,000 and $1,477,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $138,000 and $145,000 , respectively, primarily consisting of furniture, network equipment, and leasehold improvements no longer being utilized in the Company’s business. These charges are recognized as “Impairment Charges” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 5 - Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):



	December 31,

	5,877			5,877
Accumulated amortization	(3,699		)	(2,830		)
Intangible assets, net	$	2,178		$	3,047

Due to our recurring net losses, the Company performed an evaluation of intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2015 , and determined that the fair value of the long-lived assets exceeds the carrying value, therefore no impairment charges are required for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,696,000 on its intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2014 , recognized as “Impairment Charges” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. This impairment charge consisted of $765,000 for customer relationships, $716,000 for affiliate network and $215,000 for trademarks and was due to forecasted net revenue streams lower than originally forecasted.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from five years to twelve years in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2015 consisted of $3,037,000 for customer relationships, $390,000 for affiliate network and $272,000 for trademarks. Related amortization expense was $869,000 and $1,258,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five succeeding years will be as follows (in thousands):

The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for the $11,000,000 Main Street Term Loan and the $2,000,000 Main Street Revolver. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $400,000 on the Main Street Revolver as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. As of December 31, 2015, we have availability of $1,370,000 under the Main Street Revolver and $2,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan (subject to approval by Main Street under the terms of the Main Street Loan Agreement).

The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Main Street Term Loan through the maturity date in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow generated by the Company during the trailing fiscal quarter (Excess Cash Flow is defined in the Main Street Loan Agreement and effectively equal to cash flow from operations less capital expenditures less principal payments on capital leases). In the event there are outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Revolver, any quarterly principal payments are first applied to the Main Street Revolver and then to the Main Street Term Loan. During 2015 and 2014 , the Company made principal payments of $613,000 and $249,000 respectively on the Main Street Revolver and no principal payments on the Main Street Term Loan. During 2015 and 2014 , the Company received advances on the Main Street Revolver of $613,000 and $249,000 , respectively.

The Company may prepay borrowings under the Main Street Loan Agreement at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain notice and minimum prepayment requirements. The obligations of the Company under the Main Street Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including all intellectual property, equity interests in subsidiaries, equipment and other personal property. The Main Street Loan Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of its nature, including, among other things, covenants relating to (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws and (iv) notification of certain events. The Main Street Loan Agreement also contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which may, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens. The Main Street Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a debt to Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) ratio covenant as defined in the Main Street Loan Agreement. The Main Street Loan Agreement contains events of default customary for similar financings with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to perform or observe covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, certain cross defaults, certain bankruptcy related events, monetary judgments defaults and a change in control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations under the Main Street Loan Agreement may be accelerated and become immediately due and payable.

- F 12 -

Based on the Company’s current financial projections for 2016, we believe that it is likely that the Company will violate both the existing fixed charge coverage ratio and the debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenants beginning in mid-2016. We are currently exploring various alternatives to address our forecasted violations of our financial covenants during 2016, which may include renegotiation of our loan agreement with our senior lender, a capital raise, conversion of a portion of our debt to equity or a debt refinancing. If the Company were to violate any of its covenants under its senior loan agreement or its other debt arrangements, any such violations could cause an acceleration of the indebtedness under such loan agreements. In the event that our lenders accelerate the repayment of the indebtedness under any loan agreement, we would not have sufficient resources and/or cash flow to repay the indebtedness.

Deferred financing costs related to our debt agreements of $72,000 are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $125,000 are included in other assets as of December 31, 2015 . Deferred financing costs related to our debt agreements of $276,000 are included in other assets as of December 31, 2014 . The financing costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of each loan through each maturity date. We recorded $87,000 and $89,000 of amortization of financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 , and 2014 , respectively.

In connection with the October 2012 acquisition of Affinity, the Company issued a promissory note (the “SRS Note”) to Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”), on behalf of the prior stockholders of Affinity. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the principal balance on the SRS Note was $1,785,000 . On February 27, 2015, the Company amended and restated the SRS Note. The amended SRS Note, (i) extended the maturity date from January 4, 2016 to July 6, 2017, (ii) increased the interest rate from 10% to 15% per annum effective March 1, 2015 and (iii) revised the payment of interest from quarterly in arrears to payment on July 6, 2017 of all interest earned after March 1, 2015, unless certain trailing AEBITDA targets are met as defined in the agreement. The Company is required to make monthly principal payments in the amount of $50,000 in the event the Company’s trailing three month AEBITDA exceeds $1,500,000 . The Company is required to make additional payments on the principal amount over the remaining term of the SRS Note in an amount equal to 40% of the sum of the Company’s trailing six month AEBITDA less $3,000,000 . During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company made principal payments of $0 and $100,000 , respectively, on the SRS Note based on achievement of the AEBITDA threshold. As of December 31, 2015 , accrued interest expense on the SRS Note was $238,000 .

As of December 31, 2015 , the current portion of long-term debt recorded on the Company’s balance sheet was $400,000 , and represents the outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Revolver. The Company expects that any principal payments under the Main Street Loan Agreement, which are based on 50% of Excess Cash Flow as discussed above, will be applied to outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Revolver during the twelve months ending December 31, 2016 . Therefore, the Company expects that no principal payments will be applied against the Main Street Term Loan during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 ; and thus all outstanding borrowings on the Main Street Term Loan are classified as long term debt as of December 31, 2015 . The principal payments related to these debt agreements are estimates and actual payments may vary.

Note 11 - Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2015 , there were: 100 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock authorized, and no shares issued or outstanding; 7,500 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock authorized and 32 shares issued and outstanding; and 4,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock authorized and no shares issued or outstanding.

Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $7,500 per share (the “A-2 Stated Value”), a liquidation preference equal to the Series A-2 Stated Value, and is convertible at the holder’s election into common stock at a conversion price per share of $2.9835 as of December 31, 2015 . Therefore, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,514 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2015 . The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the conversion price was adjusted from $2.9844 per share to $2.9835 per share as a result of sales in the ATM Offering during this period. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock is subordinate to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock but senior to all other classes of equity, has weighted average anti-dilution protection and, effective January 1, 2013, entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series A-2 Stated Value. All dividends are payable at the option of the holder in cash or through the issuance of a number of additional shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with an aggregate

- F 14 -

liquidation preference equal to the dividend amount payable on the applicable dividend payment date. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , a holder of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock elected to convert 21 shares and $22,000 of accrued dividends into 60,497 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company has recorded $36,000 and $40,000 , respectively, in accrued dividends on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet related to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

In accordance with ASC Topic 815, we evaluated whether our convertible preferred stock contains provisions that protect holders from declines in our stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective preferred stock agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and require a derivative liability. The Company determined no derivative liability is required under ASC Topic 815 with respect to our convertible preferred stock. A contingent beneficial conversion amount is required to be calculated and recognized when and if the adjusted $2.9835 conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is adjusted to reflect a down round stock issuance that reduces the conversion price below the $1.16 fair value of the common stock on the issuance date of the convertible preferred stock.

Note 12 - Common Stock

On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”), under which the Company could, at its discretion, sell its common stock with a sales value of up to a maximum of $8,000,000 through at-the-market sales on the NYSE MKT (the “ATM Offering”). On March 20, 2015, the Company and MLV mutually agreed to terminate this agreement. MLV acted as the sole sales agent for any sales made in the ATM Offering for a 3% commission on gross proceeds. The common stock was sold at market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices varied. Sales in the ATM Offering were being made pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated September 16, 2014, which supplemented the Company’s prospectus dated January 22, 2013, filed as part of the shelf registration statement that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 22, 2013. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company sold 17,000 and 325,000 shares in the ATM Offering, at a weighted-average selling price of $1.11 and $1.28 per share, for gross proceeds of $19,000 and $416,000 , respectively. Net proceeds totaled of $18,000 and $377,000 , reflecting reductions for the 3% commission to MLV and other offering expenses. The Company initially recorded approximately $125,000 of expenses for the offering, excluding MLV commissions and other fees in prepaid expenses and other current assets. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company charged $100,000 and $25,000 of these costs against additional paid-in capital, respectively.

Glowpoint 2014 Stock Incentive Plan

On May 28, 2014, the Glowpoint, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons through the grant of equity awards. Awards may be granted under the 2014 Plan to officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2014 Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards and other awards, including stock bonuses, performance stock, performance units, dividend equivalents, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, whether at a fixed or variable price or ratio related to the Company’s common stock, upon the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof, or any similar securities with a value derived from the value of or related to the Company’s common stock and/or returns thereon. A total of 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were initially available for issuance under the 2014 Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , 2,969,000 and no awards, respectively, were granted under the 2014 Plan. As of December 31, 2015 , 2,236,000 shares are available for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

As of December 31, 2015 , options to purchase a total of 1,228,000 shares of common stock and 261,000 shares of restricted stock were outstanding under the 2007 Plan.

Glowpoint 2000 Stock Incentive Plan

As of December 31, 2015 , options to purchase a total of 41,000 shares of common stock were outstanding.

Stock Options

The Company periodically grants stock options to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of our stock incentive plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at or above the closing price of our common stock at the date of grant.

In our stock incentive plans, the exercise price of the awards are established by the administrator of the plan and, in the case of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) issued to employees who are less than 10% stockholders, the per share exercise price must be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares in the case of an employee who is a 10% stockholder. The administrator of the plan determines the terms and provisions of each award granted, including the vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment, payment contingencies and satisfaction of any performance criteria.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , no options were granted or exercised; therefore, no fair value assumptions are presented herein for the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014 .

During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company recorded a reversal of $110,000 in stock-based compensation expense, of which $48,000 related to expense for unvested awards that were forfeited and $62,000 related to revised estimates for expense previously recorded on performance-based awards.

Certain restricted stock awards have performance-based vesting provisions and are subject to forfeiture, in whole or in part, if these performance conditions are not achieved. Management assesses, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved and, once it is deemed probable, compensation expense is recognized over the relevant performance period. For those awards not subject to performance criteria, the cost of the restricted stock awards is expensed, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards at December 31, 2015 was $301,000 . Of this amount, $146,000 relates to time-based awards with a remaining weighted average period of 1 year. The remaining $155,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relates to performance-based awards for which expense will be recognized upon the Company achieving defined revenue targets and other financial goals and will expire 10 years from the grant date.

Note 14 - Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number shares of common stock outstanding does no t include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014 , are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic earnings per share calculation until the shares are vested. Unvested shares of our restricted stock do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents. Unvested restricted stock units are not included in calculations of basic net income (loss) per share, as they are not considered issued and outstanding at time of grant.

Diluted loss per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock awards, unvested restricted stock units, stock options, and preferred stock. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share due to the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders and the potential shares of common stock that could have been issuable have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effects, as a result of our net loss attributable to common stockholders, would be anti-dilutive.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the basic and diluted loss per share computations contained in our consolidated financial statements (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company leased office space in New Jersey on a month-to-month basis during the year ended December 31, 2014 through March 1, 2015 and from October 1, 2015 through March 2016. Effective March 2016, the Company terminated the lease and no longer leases office space in New Jersey.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company vacated its Pennsylvania office space and recorded an impairment charge of $253,000 representing the estimated net present value of the Company’s contractual obligation over the remaining lease term, adjusted for estimated sublease payments and other associated costs. The company also recorded impairment losses of $101,000 relating to property and equipment, primarily consisting of furniture and leasehold improvements. These charges are recorded in Impairment Charges on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In August 2014, the Company entered into a termination agreement relating to this lease. In exchange for the Company’s termination payment of $150,000 , paid in 2014, the Company was released from all future obligations under the lease.

Commercial Commitments

We have entered into a number of agreements with our suppliers to purchase communications and consulting services. Some of the agreements require a minimum amount of services to be purchased over the life of the agreement, or during a specified period of time. Glowpoint believes that it will meet its commercial commitments. Historically, in certain instances where Glowpoint did not meet the minimum commitments, no penalties for minimum commitments have been assessed and the Company has entered into new agreements. It has been our experience that the prices and terms of successor agreements are similar to those offered by other suppliers. Glowpoint does not believe that any loss contingency related to a potential shortfall should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements because it is not probable, from the information available and from prior experience, that Glowpoint has incurred a liability.

Contingencies

Letter of Credit

As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had an outstanding irrevocable standby letter of credit with Wells Fargo Bank for $83,000 to serve as our security deposit for our lease of office space in Colorado. See Note 2.

Note 17 - Major Customers

Major customers are defined as direct customers or channel partners that account for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , two major customers accounted for 12% and 10% of our total revenue, and accounted for 20% and 1% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 , respectively. Two additional customers accounted for 12% and 11% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, one major customer accounted for 11% of our total revenue. This customer stopped using our services as of June 30, 2015 and therefore accounted for 3% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

- F 21 -

Any reduction in the use of our services or the business failure by one of our major customers and/or wholesale channel partners could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The ending balances of the deferred tax assets have been fully reserved, reflecting the uncertainties as to realizability evidenced by the Company’s historical net losses. The change in valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2015 is a decrease of $3,255,000 .

We and our subsidiary file federal and state tax returns on a consolidated basis. During 2013, we determined that an “ownership change” had occurred in 2013 (as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) which places an annual limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards accumulated before the ownership change. As a result of this annual limitation and the limited carryforward life of the accumulated NOLs, we determined that the ownership change resulted in the permanent loss of approximately $1.9 million of tax benefit associated with the NOL carryforwards. If additional ownership changes occur in the future, the use of the net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to further limitation. At December 31, 2014 we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $37,393,000 available to offset future federal taxable income which expire in various amounts from 2017 through 2034. At December 31, 2015 , we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $27,417,000 available to offset future federal taxable income which expire in various amounts from 2017 through 2035. The Company also has various state net operating loss carryforwards. The determination of the state net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon apportionment percentages and state laws that can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforwards.

There were no significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “ Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements, that have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 . The Company does not anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to income taxes. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 .

The federal and state tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are currently open and the tax return for the year ended December 31, 2015 will be filed by September 2016.
