Our new Forget-Me-Yes® (FMY) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data privacy solution is a secure, Zero-Knowledge platform providing a single-source capability of continuous 'right-to-be-forgotten' (RtbF) and 'right-of-erase' (RoE) privacy compliance by incorporating automated policy-driven re-query services that guarantees a Data Subject's requested RtbF/RoE data remains 'forgotten' over the life of their FMY subscription.

With a cloud-native architecture, the FMY functionality can be utilized as either a complete turnkey SaaS subscription platform, or individually licensed for seamless integration with existing 3rd. party applications and data privacy platforms.
Our new ComplyTrust® Software-as-a-Service Suite (CTSS) is a set of software tools specifically designed to address cloud-native data management and regulatory compliant data governance. CTSS will help to remove enterprise organizational barriers and blockers to further enable successful cloud migration and deployment that benefit the cloud infrastructure providers, enterprise organizations, and users collectively. CTSS helps to automate and visualize cloud compliance reporting across accounts, regions and services based on a variety of user-definable and data driven metrics. Development of the first CTSS product, a cloud-native data backup compliance reporting tool called ComplyScanTM (CS), has commenced.
OVTZ had recognized that cloud-based, digital document security/protection products were a potentially viable business opportunity for the Company that allowed us to apply our proprietary real-time digital video watermarking technology, originally developed for studios and networks in the entertainment industry, to the digital document security/protection market. Cloud-DPS secures and protects digital documents (including text documents, photos, blueprints, etc.) from any modification, and/or attempted forgery by imperceptibly watermarking documents, using real-time image processing and watermarking algorithms, embedded into a secured/protected copy of a document. This authentication and verification process ensures the integrity of the original digital document.

Forget-Me-Yes® (FMY) data privacy Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform and ComplyTrust® SaaS Suite (CTSS), gain industry recognition for the architectural and business differentiators of the company's FMY data privacy, CS reporting tool, and our legacy C-DPS authentication/tamper-proof functionality product's, and generate sales and support revenues in FY21+.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (AND ESTIMATES)
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results:
? Revenue recognition; ? Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets; ? Deferred taxes; ? Accounting for stock-based compensation; and ? Commitments and contingencies.
Revenue Recognition. In
Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company's contracts with customers typically contain a single performance obligation. A contract's transaction price is allocated to its distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. If there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. Sales are recorded net of sales returns, discounts and allowances.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05. Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets losses are recognized in the period the impairment or disposal occurs.
Deferred Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the amount may not be realized.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)), the Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense attributed is based on estimated forfeiture rate, which is updated based on actual forfeitures as appropriate. This option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company's common stock, pre-vesting forfeiture rate and an option's expected life. The financial statements include amounts that are based on the Company's best estimates and judgments.
15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Commitments and Contingencies. We account for commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies (formerly referred to as financial accounting standards board Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies). We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.
