RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Series F Preferred Stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information provided in this Offering Circular, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business and before purchasing any of our capital stock. We are subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance of our future operating results.

 

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, and we expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had working capital deficit of $4,146,991, $1,835,714 and $4,992,709 respectively.   For the year ended December 31, 2018, and the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred net losses of $2,870,013, and 1,069,633, respectively. The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales.

 

We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

 

We have a relatively short operating history and have been delivering SWARM solutions, our proprietary audience-driven business intelligence solution, since January 2018, and are now in the process of building SWARM into a SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution. As a result, it may be difficult to evaluate in an investment in our stock. Furthermore, we operate in an industry that is characterized by rapid technological innovation, intense competition, changing customer needs and frequent introduction of new products, technologies and services. We have encountered, and we will continue to encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by companies in evolving industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in the market, or we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.

 

2

 

 

Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to, among other things:

 

market acceptance of our current and future products and services;

 

improve the performance and capabilities of our products;

 

manage the full automation of our SWARM solution;

 

compete with other companies, custom development efforts and open source initiatives that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the market for our products;

 

technology and data center infrastructure, enhancements to cloud architecture, improved disaster recovery protection, increasing data security, compliance and operations expenses;

 

data center costs as customers increase the amount of data that is available to our platform and the number of users on our platform;

 

the amount and timing of operating expenses, particularly sales and marketing expenses, related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure;

 

write-downs, impairment charges or unforeseen liabilities in connection with intangible assets or acquisitions;

 

our ability to successfully manage any acquisitions; and

 

general economic and political conditions in our domestic and international markets

 

If we fail to address or manage these risks successfully, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this section, our business will be adversely affected and our results of operations will suffer.

 

Our success depends on increasing the number and value of enterprise sales transactions, which typically involve a longer sales cycle, greater deployment challenges and additional support and services than sales to individual purchasers of our products.

 

Growth in our revenues and profitability depends in part on our ability to complete more and larger enterprise sales transactions. These larger transactions may involve significant customer negotiation. Enterprise customers may undertake a significant evaluation process, which can last from several months to a year or longer. For example, in recent periods, excluding renewals, our transactions over $100,000 have generally taken over three months to close. Any individual transaction may take substantially longer than three months to close. If our sales cycle were to lengthen in this manner, events may occur during this period that affect the size or timing of a purchase or even cause cancellations, which may lead to greater unpredictability in our business and results of operations. We will spend substantial time, effort and money on enterprise sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce any sales

 

The actual market for our products and services could be significantly smaller than our estimates of our total potential market opportunity, and if customer demand for our products and services does not meet expectations, our ability to generate revenue and meet our financial targets could be adversely affected.

 

While we expect strong growth in the markets for our products, it is possible that the growth in some or all of these markets may not meet our expectations, or materialize at all. The methodology on which our estimate of our total potential market opportunity is based includes several key assumptions based on our industry knowledge, market research, and customer experience. If any of these assumptions proves to be inaccurate, then the actual market for our products could be significantly smaller than our estimates of our total potential market opportunity. In addition, we have very limited experience with customer adoption of our products, having only provided SWARM solutions since January 2018. If the customer demand for our products or the adoption rate in our target markets does not meet our expectations, our ability to generate revenue from customers and meet our financial targets could be adversely affected.

 

3

 

 

If our new products and product enhancements do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our results of operations and competitive position will suffer.

 

We spend substantial amounts of time and money to research and develop new software and enhanced versions of our existing software to incorporate additional features, improve functionality, function in concert with new technologies or changes to existing technologies and allow our customers to analyze a wide range of data sources. When we develop a new product or an enhanced version of an existing product, we typically incur expenses and expend resources upfront to market, promote and sell the new offering. Therefore, when we develop and introduce new or enhanced products, they must achieve high levels of market acceptance in order to justify the amount of our investment in developing and bringing them to market.

 

Further, we may make changes to our software that our customers do not find useful. We may also discontinue certain features, begin to charge for certain features that are currently free or increase fees for any of our features or usage of our software. We may also face unexpected problems or challenges in connection with new product or feature introductions.

 

Our new products or product enhancements, such as SWARM, and changes to our existing software could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including:

 

failure to predict market demand accurately in terms of software functionality and capability or to supply software that meets this demand in a timely fashion;

 

inability to operate effectively with the technologies, systems or applications of our existing or potential customers;

 

defects, errors or failures;

 

negative publicity about their performance or effectiveness;

 

delays in releasing our new software or enhancements to our existing software to the market;

 

the introduction or anticipated introduction of competing products by our competitors;

 

an ineffective sales force;

 

poor business conditions for our end-customers, causing them to delay purchases; and

 

the reluctance of customers to purchase software incorporating open source software.

 

In addition, because our products are designed to operate on and with a variety of systems, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our products to keep pace with changes in technology. We may not be successful in either developing these modifications and enhancements or in bringing them to market in a timely fashion.

 

If our new software or enhancements and changes do not achieve adequate acceptance in the market, our competitive position will be impaired, and our revenues could decline. The adverse effect on our results of operations may be particularly acute because of the significant research, development, marketing, sales and other expenses we will have incurred in connection with the new software or enhancements.

 

4

 

 

Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our software could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

 

Because our software is complex, undetected errors, failures or bugs may occur, especially when new versions or updates are released. Our software is often installed and used in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, system management software, and equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors or failures of our software or other aspects of the computing environment into which it is deployed. In addition, deployment of our software into computing environments may expose undetected errors, compatibility issues, failures or bugs in our software. Despite testing by us, errors, failures or bugs may not be found in our software until it is released to our customers. Moreover, our customers could incorrectly implement or inadvertently misuse our software, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and adversely impact the perceived utility of our products as well as our brand. Any of these real or perceived errors, compatibility issues, failures or bugs in our software could result in negative publicity, reputational harm, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our software, loss of competitive position or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem. Alleviating any of these problems could require significant expenditures of our capital and other resources and could cause interruptions, delays or cessation of our licensing, which could cause us to lose existing or potential customers and could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

 

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, performance issues due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website or third-party hosting disruptions or capacity constraints due to a number of potential causes including technical failures, cyber-attacks, security vulnerabilities, natural disasters or fraud. If our security is compromised, our website is unavailable or our users are unable to download our software within a reasonable amount of time or at all, our business could be negatively affected. Moreover, if our security measures, products or services are subject to cyber-attacks that degrade or deny the ability of users to access our website, products or services, our products or services may be perceived as unsecure and we may incur significant legal and financial exposure. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. These cloud-based products are hosted at third-party data centers that are not under our direct control. If these data centers were to be damaged or suffer disruption, our ability to provide these products to our customers could be impaired and our reputation could be harmed.

 

In addition, it may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website performance, especially during peak usage times and as our software becomes more complex and our user traffic increases. Adverse consequences could include unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times, degradation in level of customer support and impaired quality of users’ experiences, and could result in customer dissatisfaction and the loss of existing customers. We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve website performance and security and to enable rapid and secure releases of new features and applications for our software. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

Our products use third-party software and services that may be difficult to replace or cause errors or failures of our products that could lead to a loss of customers or harm to our reputation and our operating results.

 

We license third-party software and depend on services from various third parties for use in our products. In the future, this software or these services may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of the software or services could result in decreased functionality of our products until equivalent technology is either developed by us or, if available from another provider, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our business.

 

In addition, any errors or defects in or failures of the third-party software or services could result in errors or defects in our products or cause our products to fail, which could harm our business and be costly to correct. Many of these providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, defects or failures, and if enforceable, we may have additional liability to our customers or third-party providers that could harm our reputation and increase our operating costs.

 

We will need to maintain our relationships with third-party software and service providers, and to obtain software and services from such providers that do not contain any errors or defects. Any failure to do so could adversely impact our ability to deliver effective products to our customers and could harm our operating results.

If customers demand products that provide business analytics via a SaaS business model, our business could be adversely affected.

 

In recent years, we believe that companies have begun to expect that key software be provided through a SaaS model, and customers may eventually require that we provide our product via a SaaS deployment. We have recently announced SWARM, our professional services solution that provide our core capabilities as a commercial service offering. We anticipate using our current cash or future cash flows to fund further development of a SaaS version of SWARM, and we may encounter difficulties that cause our costs to exceed our current expectations. Moreover, to commercially provide this product at scale, we will need to make additional investments in related infrastructure such as server farms, data centers, network bandwidth and technical operations personnel. All of these investments will negatively affect our operating results. Even if we make these investments, we may be unsuccessful in achieving significant market acceptance of this new product. Moreover, sales of a potential future SaaS offering by our competitors could adversely affect sales of all of our existing products. In addition, increasing sales of our SaaS offering could cannibalize our professional services offering to our existing and prospective customers, which could negatively impact our overall sales growth. The migration of our customers to a SaaS model would also change the manner in which we recognize revenue, which could adversely affect our operating results and business

 

Our use of open source software could negatively affect our ability to sell our software and subject us to possible litigation.

 

We use open source software in our software and expect to continue to use open source software in the future. We may face claims from others claiming ownership of, or seeking to enforce the license terms applicable to such open source software, including by demanding release of the open source software, derivative works or our proprietary source code that was developed using such software. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our software, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, if the license terms for the open source code change, we may be forced to re-engineer our software or incur additional costs. Finally, we cannot assure you that we have not incorporated open source software into our software in a manner that may subject our proprietary software to an open source license that requires disclosure, to customers or the public, of the source code to such proprietary software. Any such disclosure would have a negative effect on our business and the value of our software.

 

We may require additional capital to fund our business and support our growth, and our inability to generate and obtain such capital on acceptable terms, or at all, could harm our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

We intend to continue to make substantial investments to fund our business and support our growth. In addition, we may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our software, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire or develop complementary businesses and technologies. As a result, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to provide the funds required for these and other business endeavors. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain such additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business may be adversely affected. In addition, our inability to generate or obtain the financial resources needed may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

A significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject to a periodic impairment analysis and a significant impairment determination in any future period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations even without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses attributable to such period.

 

We have goodwill totaling $4,575,000 at December 31, 2018 resulting from the acquisitions of Parscale Creative, WebTegrity and Parscale Media. We evaluate this goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. This estimated fair value could change if we are unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the market valuation of those business units decreases based on transactions involving similar companies, or there is a permanent, negative change in the market demand for the services offered by the business units. These changes could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance that could require a material non-cash charge to our results of operations.

 

We operate with significant levels of debt and rely on funding to operate.

 

As of December 31, 2018, our total outstanding debts were approximately $2,100,000. In addition, a large portion of the outstanding debt is owed to an entity controlled by our Chief Financial Officer. Due to operational losses, we continue to require funding from our lenders to cover operational expenses. Although we are not required to make quarterly or annual payments on the outstanding balance of our debt, interest accrues on the principal amount of such debt and the balance is required to be repaid at some point in the future. There is no guarantee that we will have sufficient funds to pay our obligations, nor is there a guarantee that our lenders will re-finance the debts or extend the maturity dates.

 

There is no guarantee that our lenders will continue to support us.

 

We may require additional capital to fund operations, finance additional acquisitions, purchase computer equipment, expand into additional markets, initiate advertising campaigns, or hire key personnel. Although we have positive working relationships with our lenders, there is no guarantee that the lenders will continue to support us in all the ways we choose to spend our capital. If our lenders choose not to fund the Company, then our operations may be halted, our growth may decrease, or we may need to scale back on our expenditures.

 

We are operating at a loss and may incur additional losses in the future.

 

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $(2,870,013). To reach our business growth objectives, we currently expect to increase our operating, sales, and marketing expenses, as well as capital expenditures. To offset these expenses, we will need to generate additional profitable revenue. If our revenue declines or grows slower than either we anticipate or our clients’ projections indicate, or if our operating, sales and marketing expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be reduced to an appropriate level, we may not generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

 

We are dependent on key personnel for our operations. If those key personnel were to leave the Company, operations may suffer.

 

Our performance is highly dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, we need to attract and retain other highly-skilled, technical and managerial personnel for whom there is intense competition. For example, if we are unable to hire or continually train our employees to keep pace with the rapid and continuing changes in technology and the markets we serve or changes in the types of services our clients are demanding, we may not be able to develop and deliver new services and solutions to fulfill client demand. Our inability to attract and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel could materially adversely affect our ability to maintain and grow our business significantly.

 

If labor rates for key personnel increases, the increase may strain cash flows further.

 

Competition for labor could substantially increase our labor costs. Although we seek to preserve the contractual ability to pass through increases in labor costs to our clients, not all of our current contracts provide us with this protection, and we may enter into contracts in the future which limit or prohibit our ability to pass through increases in labor costs to our clients. If we are unable to pass costs through to our clients, our financial condition may be materially affected.

 

7

 

 

We need to continue to invest in enhancements to our cloud infrastructure and if our required investments are greater than anticipated or fail to yield anticipated cost savings and performance benefits, our financial results will be negatively impacted.

 

We have made and will continue to make substantial investments in new equipment to support growth at our data centers, provide enhanced levels of service to our customers and reduce future costs of subscription revenues. Ongoing improvements to our cloud infrastructure may be more expensive than we anticipate and may not yield the expected savings in operating costs or the expected performance benefits. In addition, we may be required to re-invest any cost savings achieved from prior cloud infrastructure improvements in future infrastructure projects to maintain the levels of service required by our customers. We may not be able to maintain or achieve cost savings from our investments, which could harm our financial results.

 

If there is a triggering event that adversely affects the Company, then our intangible assets may be impaired, resulting in significant write offs.

 

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets represented approximately 85% of our total assets as of December 31, 2018.  The carrying value of goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of identifiable assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. We are required to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually, as well as on an interim basis to the extent that factors or indicators become apparent that could reduce the fair value below its book value. Such factors requiring an interim test for impairment include loss of key employees, pending bankruptcy, loss of a significant client, declining sales, significant cost increases, change in management or declining spend in the industry.  If it is determined that there has been an event that may reduce the fair value of our intangible assets, then we would be required to write off all, or a portion, of the balance recorded as intangible assets. Such a write off would reduce earnings during the period of the write off.

 

We may become a party to litigation involving intellectual property rights, employment violations, breach of contract, or other lawsuit, which may place a burden on management and cash flows.

 

Third parties may, in the future, assert that our business, the technologies we use, or the business practices we use, infringe on their intellectual property rights or employment rights or that we are in violation of other rights or laws. Defending the Company against such actions may require significant time of management and substantial amounts of money. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims in the future or whether any future claims will prevent us from offering our products or services. If we are found to be in the wrong, we may be required to pay a significant amount of money which could include damages and attorneys’ fees.

 

A portion of our services are provided by third parties which we do not control. Such third parties may provide poor service which may harm the relationships we have with our clients.

 

We currently, and may in the future, rely on third party providers to provide various portions of our service offering.  If our business relationship with a third-party provider is negatively affected, or is terminated, we might not be able to deliver the corresponding service offering to our clients, which could cause us to lose clients and future business, reducing our revenues. Any such failure on the part of the third party, may damage our reputation and otherwise result in a material adverse effect upon our business and financial condition.

 

We face intense competition, and may not be able to compete effectively, which would reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business, growth, revenues and market share.

 

The market for our products is intensely and increasingly competitive and subject to rapidly changing technology and evolving standards. In addition, many companies in our target market are offering, or may soon offer, products and services that may compete with our products.

 

Our current primary competitors generally fall into the following categories:

 

large software companies, including suppliers of traditional business intelligence products that provide one or more capabilities that are competitive with our products, such as Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP AG and IBM;

 

8

 

 

business analytics software companies, such as Tableau Software, Inc., Qlik Technologies, Looker Data Services, Inc., Sisense, Inc., and Tibco Software, Inc.; and

 

SaaS-based products or cloud-based analytics providers such as salesforce.com, Inc. and Infor, Inc.

 

We expect competition to increase as other established and emerging companies enter the markets in which we compete, as customer requirements evolve and as new products and technologies are introduced

 

Many competitors, particularly the large software companies named above, have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, research and development, marketing, distribution, professional services or other resources and greater name recognition than we do. In addition, many competitors have strong relationships with current and potential customers, channel partners and development partners and extensive knowledge of markets in which we compete. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, for example by devoting greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do.

 

Moreover, many of these competitors may bundle their data management and analytics products into larger deals or maintenance renewals, often at significant discounts or at no charge. Increased competition may lead to price cuts, alternative pricing structures or the introduction of products available for free or a nominal price, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and our business, operating results and financial condition will be harmed if we fail to meet these competitive pressures.

 

Moreover, current and future competitors may also make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with others. By doing so, these competitors may increase their ability to meet the needs of customers. These relationships may limit our ability to sell or certify our products and services through specific distributors, technology providers, database companies and distribution channels and allow competitors to rapidly gain significant market share. These developments could limit our ability to obtain revenue from existing and new customers. If we are unable to compete successfully against competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

 

We face intense competition in the business intelligence market which may lead to reduced revenue and loss of market share.

 

The markets for business intelligence (“BI”) software, analytical applications and information management are highly competitive and subject to rapidly changing technology and evolving standards. In addition, many companies in these markets are offering, or may soon offer, products and services that may compete with our software products.

 

We face competitors in several broad categories, including BI software, analytical processes, query, search and reporting tools. We compete with large technology corporations that provide one or more capabilities that are competitive with our software products, such as Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP AG, and with open source BI vendors, including Pentaho and JasperSoft. Open source software is software that is made widely available by its authors and is licensed “as is” for a nominal fee or, in some cases, at no charge. As the use of open source software becomes more widespread, certain open source technology could become competitive with our proprietary technology, which could cause sales of our products to decline or force us to reduce the fees we charge for our products. We also compete, or may increasingly in the future compete, with various independent competitors that are primarily focused on BI products, such as Birst, MicroStrategy, the SAS Institute, Tableau and TIBCO. We expect additional competition as other established and emerging companies or open source vendors enter the BI software market and new products and technologies are introduced. We expect this to be particularly true with respect to our cloud-based initiatives as we and our competitors seek to provide business analytics products based on a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, platform. This is an evolving area of business analytics solutions, and we anticipate competition to increase based on customer demand for these types of products.

Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources and greater name recognition than we do. In addition, many of our competitors have strong relationships with current and potential customers and extensive knowledge of the BI industry. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than us. Increased competition may lead to price cuts, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and our business, operating results and financial condition will be harmed if we fail to meet these competitive pressures.

 

Current and future competitors may also make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with others. By doing so, these competitors may increase their ability to meet the needs of our current or potential customers. Our current or prospective indirect channel partners may establish cooperative relationships with our current or future competitors. These relationships may limit our ability to sell our software products through specific distribution channels. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances among current and future competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. These developments could limit our ability to obtain revenues from new customers and to sustain maintenance revenues from our installed customer base. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

 

We target a global marketplace and compete in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive industry which makes our future operating results difficult to predict. If we are unable to enhance products or acquire new products that respond to rapidly changing customer requirements, technological developments or evolving industry standards, our long-term revenue growth will be harmed.

 

We target the global business intelligence, or BI, marketplace, which is an industry characterized by rapid technological innovation, changing customer needs, substantial competition, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products, enhancements and services. Any of these factors can render our existing software products and services obsolete or unmarketable. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to successfully:

 

support current and future releases of popular hardware, operating systems, computer programming languages, databases and software applications

 

develop new products and product enhancements that achieve market acceptance in a timely manner

 

maintain technological competiveness and meet an expanding range of customer requirements.

 

As we encounter increasing competitive pressures, we will likely be required to modify, enhance, reposition or introduce new products and service offerings. We may not be successful in doing so in a timely, cost-effective and appropriately responsive manner, or at all, which may have an adverse effect on our business, quarterly operating results and financial condition. All of these factors make it difficult to predict our future operating results which may impair our ability to manage our business

Our success is highly dependent on our ability to penetrate the existing market for business analytics software as well as the growth and expansion of that market.

 

Although the overall market for business analytics software is well-established, the market for business analytics software like ours is relatively new, rapidly evolving and unproven. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to penetrate the existing market for business analytics software, as well as the continued growth and expansion of what we believe to be an emerging market for analytics solutions that are faster, easier to adopt, easier to use and more focused on self-service capabilities. It is difficult to predict customer adoption and renewal rates, customer demand for our products, the size, growth rate and expansion of these markets, the entry of competitive products or the success of existing competitive products. Our ability to penetrate the existing market and any expansion of the emerging market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our products, as well as customers’ willingness to adopt a different approach to data analysis. Furthermore, many potential customers have made significant investments in legacy business analytics software systems and may be unwilling to invest in new software. If we are unable to penetrate the existing market for business analytics software, the emerging market for self-service analytics solutions fails to grow or expand, or either of these markets decreases in size, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 

Our financial results would suffer if the market for BI software does not continue to grow or if we are unable to further penetrate this market.

 

Resistance from consumer and privacy groups to increased commercial collection and use of data on spending patterns and other personal behavior and governmental restrictions on the collection and use of personal data may impair the further growth of this market, as may other developments. We cannot be sure that this market will continue to grow or, even if it does grow, that customers will purchase our software products or services. We have spent, and intend to keep spending, considerable resources to educate potential customers about BI software in general and our software products and services in particular. However, we cannot be sure that these expenditures will help our software products achieve any additional market acceptance or enable us to attract new customers or new users at existing customers. A reduction in the demand for our software products and services could be caused by, among other things, lack of customer acceptance, weakening economic conditions, competing technologies and services or decreases in software spending. If the market and our market share fail to grow or grow more slowly than we currently expect, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

 

Our industry is dependent on quickly evolving technologies and knowledge. If we do not maintain proper technology or knowledge, then our operations may be adversely affected.

 

To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our products and services and the underlying network infrastructure. If we are unable to adapt to changing market conditions, client requirements or emerging industry standards, our business could be adversely affected. The internet and e-commerce environments are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our technology and systems obsolete. We must continue to address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our clients and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.

 

In addition, many competitors expend a considerably greater amount of funds on their research and development programs, and those that do not may be acquired by larger companies that would allocate greater resources to competitors’ research and development programs. If we fail to maintain adequate research and development resources or compete effectively with the research and development programs of competitors, our business could be harmed. Our ability to grow is also subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver business intelligence solutions at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely affect our ability to compete.

 

Our acquisitions may not achieve expected benefits, and may increase our liabilities, disrupt our existing business and harm our operating results.

 

As part of our strategy, we seek to acquire other businesses and technologies to complement our current products, expand the breadth of our markets, or enhance our technical capabilities. For example, in August 2017, we acquired Parscale Creative. The benefits we expect to receive from these and other acquisitions depend on our ability to successfully conduct due diligence, negotiate the terms of the acquisition and integrate the acquired business into our systems, procedures and organizational structure. Any inaccuracy in our acquisition assumptions or any failure to uncover liabilities or risks associated with the acquisition, make the acquisition on favorable terms, integrate the acquired business or assets as and when expected or retain key employees of the acquired company may reduce or eliminate the expected benefits of the acquisition to us, increase our costs, disrupt our operations, result in additional liabilities, investigations and litigation, and may also harm our strategy, business and operating results. The failure to achieve expected acquisition benefits may also result in impairment charges for goodwill and purchased intangible assets.

 

11

 

 

Future acquisitions may include an equity component that may dilute the positions of current stockholders.

 

We have traditionally used our equity to finance our acquisitions. As we search for additional companies to acquire, the components of the purchase price may include a combination of cash, debt and equity. The issuance of a substantial amount of equity may have a dilutive effect on our current shareholders upon such equity being deemed free-trading. Although this dilution may result in higher trading volume, it may result in lower market prices, which may limit an investor’s ability to obtain a return on their investment.

 

In addition, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

 

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

 

  acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

 

  our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

 

  our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

 

  increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

 

  limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

 

We are subject to governmental laws, regulation and other legal obligations, particularly those related to privacy, data protection and information security, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could impair our efforts to maintain and expand our customer base, causing our growth to be limited and harming our business.

 

We receive, store and process personal information and other data from and about customers in addition to our employees and services providers. Also, in connection with future feature offerings, we may receive, store and process additional types of data, including personally identifiable information, related to end consumers. Our handling of data is subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including regulation by various government agencies, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and various state, local and foreign agencies. Our data handling also is subject to contractual obligations and may be deemed to be subject to industry standards, including certain industry standards that we undertake to comply with.

 

The U.S. federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution, use and storage of data relating to individuals, including the use of contact information and other data for marketing, advertising and other communications with individuals and businesses. In the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, processing, disclosure, and security of certain types of data. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. The laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security are evolving, can be subject to significant change and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions.

 

12

 

 

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal or contractual obligations, industry standards, or regulatory guidance relating to privacy, data protection, information security, marketing or consumer communications may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity, and could cause our customers and partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, marketing, consumer communications and information security in the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions, and we cannot determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations or any changed interpretation of existing laws or regulations could impair our ability to develop and market new features and maintain and grow our customer base and increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing or disclosure of data or additional requirements for express or implied consent of our customers, partners or end consumers for the use and disclosure of such information could require us to incur additional costs or modify our platform, possibly in a material manner, which we may be unable to achieve in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and which could limit our ability to develop new features. If our policies, procedures, or measures relating to privacy, data protection, information security, marketing, or customer communications fail, or are perceived as failing, to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal obligations or industry standards, we may be subject to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, regulatory investigations, fines, penalties and negative publicity and could cause our application providers, customers and partners to lose trust in us, which could materially affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

There is a significant amount of exposure to the Company due to Bradley Parscale being on the board of directors.

 

As recently announced, Bradley Parscale was named as campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential election run. As soon as the announcement was made, opponents to Mr. Parscale and President Trump made a connection to Parscale Digital and CloudCommerce, resulting in negative press articles, vindictive message through social media, and angry direct messages to some of our employees. We expect these types of activities to continue, and potentially increase in intensity as we near the 2020 elections. There is a potential that employees who do not want to be associated with Mr. Parscale or President Trump will terminate their employment or attempt to cause harm to the Company. Further, there may be customers who may also want to reduce their business with us because of the relationship with Mr. Parscale. We could also lose customers, and if we are not able to replace the revenue from those lost customers, total revenue could decline.

 

Our executive officers and directors own a controlling interest in our voting stock and investors have a limited voice in our management.  

 

Our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 84% of our common stock, as of August 28, 2019 (see “Security Ownership of Management and Certain Security Holders”). As a result, these stockholders acting together, have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to the Company's stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our principal stockholders, directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Their stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our independent public accounting firm in their report dated December 31, 2018 included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Going concern contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. As a result, our financial statements do not reflect any adjustment which would result from our failure to continue to operate as a going concern. Any such adjustment, if necessary, would materially affect the value of our assets.

Risks Related to the Investment in our Securities

 

There currently is no public trading market for our Series F Preferred Stock and an active market may not develop or, if developed, be sustained. If a public trading market does not develop, you may not be able to sell any of your securities.

 

There is currently no public trading market for our Series F preferred stock. While we will seek to have a market maker file an application with FINRA on our behalf so as to be able to quote the Series F Preferred Stock on the OTCQB, there can be no assurance that an active market may develop or be sustained. If an active public trading market for our securities does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your securities at any price. Even if a public market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your securities.

 

The Series F Preferred Stock will be subordinate to our existing and future debt obligations, and your interests could be diluted by the issuance of additional equity securities, including additional Series F Preferred Stock, and by other transactions.

 

The Series F Preferred Stock will be subordinate to all of our existing and future indebtedness. Therefore, if we become bankrupt, liquidate our assets, reorganize or enter into certain other transactions, our assets will be available to pay our obligations with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock only after we have paid all of our existing and future indebtedness in full. There may be insufficient assets remaining following such payments to make any payments to holders of the Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

The issuance of additional equity on a parity with or senior to the Series F Preferred Stock would dilute the interests of the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and any such additional issuances or additional indebtedness could affect our ability to pay distributions on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

The Series F Preferred Stock will not be convertible to common stock.

 

The Series F Preferred Stock will not be convertible to common stock. This may reduce the value of the Series F Preferred Stock as the holders, by virtue of being holders of the Series F Preferred Shares, will not have the opportunity to benefit from any increase in the market price of the common stock.

 

The Series F Preferred Shares will be subject to the Company’s right of redemption.

 

The Company will have the right to redeem outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, in the Company’s discretion, commencing one year after the initial issuance date of such shares, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Series F Preferred Stock. Such redemption, if it occurs, may reduce the return on Series F Preferred Shares for its holders, as redeemed shares will no longer be entitled to further dividends.

 

We could be prevented from paying cash dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock

 

Under Nevada law, the Company may not pay cash dividends to holders of Series F Preferred Stock if the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business. In addition, the dividend rights of the Series F Preferred Stock will be on a pari passu basis with the Series A Preferred Stock. This may limit our ability to pay dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Investors should consult their own tax advisers regarding tax consequences of this Offering and the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

The Company makes no representations regarding the tax treatment that will apply to the Series F Preferred or this Offering, including, without limitation, with respect to any dividend or redemption payments under the Series F Preferred Stock. Subscribers should consult their own tax advisers regarding such tax consequences.

 

14

 

 

You will generally not have voting rights.

 

Our common stock is the only class of our securities carrying full voting rights. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except with respect to certain protective provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Future issuances of preferred stock, including future issuances of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, may reduce the value of the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Upon the completion of the Offering, we may sell additional shares of preferred stock on terms that may differ from the Series F Preferred Stock. Such shares could rank on parity with or senior to the Series F Preferred Stock offered hereby as to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. The subsequent creation and subsequent issuance of additional classes of preferred stock on parity with the Series F Preferred Stock, could dilute the interests of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock offered hereby. Any issuance of preferred stock that is senior to the Series F Preferred Stock would not only dilute the interests of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock offered hereby, but also could affect our ability to pay distributions on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on the Series F Preferred Stock.

With applications, such as marketing, brand perception, customer relationship management, human resources management and operational logistics, SWARM delivers powerful audience-driven business intelligence to convert opportunities into business success.

The Problem

 

Marketers have largely taken a blanket approach to communication. The same message is often sent across an entire customer audience with little regard for how different groups of people communicate, build communities, and develop their purchasing habits. When they do segment audiences, they tend to use very objective selection criteria, such as income, geography, education or purchase history to deduce attitudes or intentions.

 

However, research has shown that attitudes and intentions are weak predictors of behavior, which is ultimately what marketers want to influence and affect.  Instead, we believe motivations and feelings are much better at predicting behavior. But they are also can be the hardest to deduce from audience data.

 

The Solution – SWARM

 

SWARM is a behavioral science approach to audience creation and communication. It helps marketers probe deep consumer motivations and triggers, in order to effectively predict and influence their actions. We believe if marketers can influence action, they can get people to buy, change the opinion of, or support a particular brand, business, or person.

 

There are 4 major products in SWARM:

 

BUZZ - Behavior Based Market Research

 

We believe that market research is evolving and that the techniques being developed today are more sophisticated and backed by strong data science. Despite these changes, many traditional research firms have failed to innovate, including: small sample sizes, survey design bias, improper weighting, and gut intuition sampling are just some of the issues that plague the industry. BUZZ is designed with the ability to put a finger on the pulse of the marketplace in the moment. It does this by deducing attitudes, emotions, and opinions from various internal and external data sources such as customer data, social media activity, or micro and macro trends. We have automated the market research process that we believe provides a level of statistical depth beyond what traditional firms can offer.

 

THE SWARM – Intelligent Audience Building

 

The core of our solution, and what we believe separates us from other audience data companies, is our unique approach to audience building. The concept of ‘personas’ has been around for decades, but we aim take that general concept to the next level. THE SWARM was developed to solve not only who to talk to, but also what to say to them, and how to motivate them to take meaningful action. Using our proprietary clustering and behavioral analysis techniques, we believe we are able to create audiences that are more efficient, targeted, and focused than traditional methods. Our clustering is designed to not only finds the right people to talk to, but also the message that motivate them.

 

HIVE – Redefined Geographic Targeting

 

Our approach is that conventional geographic audience targeting is outdated. Arbitrary units of location like counties, cities, DMAs, and regions were created hundreds of years ago based on land rights ownership. We believe their use in understanding people’s behavior, purchase habits, and underlying values is minimal. We try to solve this by clustering people into granular geographic tribes, called “Hives.” We define Hives by attributes such as common language (e.g., colloquialisms), shared experience and narratives (e.g., climate, history), and concentrated demography and biology (e.g., ethnicity, age). Based on the needs of our clients, we can redraw the geographic lines based on various Hive selection criteria, which can make marketing more efficient, business decisions more intelligent, and growth more plausible.

 

HONEY – Advanced Reporting and Visualization

 

We believe advanced audience data analysis technologies are useless if it doesn’t produce simple, powerful and actionable business intelligence. HONEY comes with user-friendly reporting and visualization tools intended to organize and explain all of the advance data science into a simple to understand format for decision makers. HONEY is designed to combine the intelligence of client CRM data with third-party consumer data and targeted market research to create a powerful foundation for any audience intelligence solution.

Competition

 

Our current primary competitors generally fall into the following categories:

 

large technology companies, including suppliers of traditional business intelligence and data preparation products, and/or cloud-based offerings that provide one or more capabilities that are competitive with our products, such as Amazon.com, Inc., Google, IBM, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, salesforce.com, inc. and SAP SE;

 

business analytics software companies, such as Tableau Software, Inc. and Domo, Qlik,  and Looker; and

 

providers of SaaS-based or cloud-based analytics products.

 

In addition, we may compete with open source initiatives and custom development efforts. We operate in a rapidly growing and rapidly changing market. As a result, we expect competition to continue to increase as other established and emerging companies enter the business analytics market, as customer requirements evolve and as new products and technologies are introduced. We expect this to be particularly true with respect to our SaaS-based offering. This is a relatively new and evolving area of business analytics solutions, and we anticipate competition to increase based on customer demand for these types of products.

 

Many of our competitors, particularly the large software companies named above, have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, professional services or other resources and greater name recognition than we do. In addition, many of our competitors have strong relationships with current and potential customers and extensive knowledge of the business analytics industry. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, for example by offering a SaaS-based product that competes with our on-premises products or our SaaS product, SWARM, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than us. Moreover, many of these competitors are bundling their analytics products into larger deals or maintenance renewals, often at significant discounts. Increased competition may lead to price cuts, alternative pricing structures or the introduction of products available for free or a nominal price, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and our business, results of operations and financial condition will be harmed if we fail to meet these competitive pressures.

 

Our ability to compete successfully in our market depends on a number of factors, both within and outside of our control. Some of these factors include ease and speed of product deployment and use, discovery and visualization capabilities, analytical and statistical capabilities, performance and scalability, the quality and reliability of our customer service and support, total cost of ownership, return on investment and brand recognition. Any failure by us to compete successfully in any one of these or other areas may reduce the demand for our products, as well as adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Moreover, current and future competitors may also make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with others. By doing so, these competitors may increase their ability to meet the needs of our customers or potential customers. In addition, our current or prospective indirect sales channel partners may establish cooperative relationships with our current or future competitors. These relationships may limit our ability to sell or certify our products through specific distributors, technology providers, database companies and distribution channels and allow our competitors to rapidly gain significant market share. These developments could limit our ability to obtain revenues from existing and new customers and to maintain maintenance services revenues from our existing and new customers. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Offering Circular. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors including, but not limited to, those noted under “Risk Factors” of this Offering Circular.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the following:

 

Revenue recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Accounts receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

24

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets 

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2018 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Business Combinations 

 

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability, between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and the following pronouncements were adopted during the period.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under ASC 842, lessees are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, leases are classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis, similar to current operating leases, while finance leases result in a front-loaded pattern, similar to current capital leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 and elected certain available transitional practical expedients.

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the year ended December 31, 2018, and the following pronouncements were adopted during the period.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). 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. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company follows paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09, adopting the pronouncements on January 1, 2018. The company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when services are performed to such a degree that the performed service is delivered or deliverable to the client, or when a tangible item, such as interior décor or signage, is delivered to the client.

 

Since the Company was already recognizing revenue in a manner consistent with paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, there was no material impact on prior year results.

 

ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing guidance on revenue recognition with a five-step model for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires a number of disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flows. The guidance can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of initial adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. The timing and measurement of revenue recognition under the new standard is not materially different than under the old standard. The adoption of the new standard had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, our consolidated net loss increased by $1,765,441, to $2,486,114, compared to a consolidated net loss of $720,673 for six months ended December 31, 2016.

The increase was due to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and additional fixed assets acquired with Indaba, and additional intangible assets associated with the change of the Company’s name to CloudCommerce. The depreciation and amortization of these intangible assets were included in the year ended June 30, 2016, but not for 12 months, due to the mid-year acquisition of Indaba.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, our consolidated net loss decreased by $5,449,607, to $2,042,504, compared to a consolidated net loss of $7,492,111 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in net loss is primarily due to increases in revenue and the discontinuance of accounting for derivative liabilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company had a net working capital deficit (i.e. the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($4,992,709) at June 30, 2019 compared to a net working capital deficit of ($4,146,991) at fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.  

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of $116,312, compared to $272,321 as of December 31, 2017. The Company had a net working capital deficit (the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($4,146,991) as of December 31, 2018, compared to a net working capital deficit of ($1,835,714) at December 31, 2017.

 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $820,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $300,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cash flow used in operating activities of $520,694 was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and an increase of accounts receivable.

 

Cash used in operating activities was $344,407 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $990,053 used for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and cash used of $867,850 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Cash flow used in investing activities was $2,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to cash flow used in investing activities of $20,646 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease in cash flow used in investing activities of $18,542 was primarily due to a reduction in the purchase of computers, partially offset by the reduction of fixed asset disposals.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $52,072 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to cash flow provided of $247,587 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and cash provided of $13,728 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $794,134 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to cash flow used in financing activities of $792,123 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase in cash flow provided by financing activities of $2,011 was due to additional borrowings, partially offset by debt repayments.

 

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $240,470 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $983,918 provided for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and cash provided of $835,328 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. Management believes that the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and which will allow the development of our core business operations, will be received through investments in the Company made by our existing shareholders, prospective new investors and future revenue generated by our operations.

 

As a result of the recent economic recession, and the continuing economic uncertainty, it has been difficult for companies to obtain equity or debt financing. While the credit markets have improved over the last year, it remains difficult for smaller companies to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities. The terms of the securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities which may have a further dilutive effect.

 

Furthermore, any additional debt or equity or other financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business. Further, we may not be able to continue operations if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations.

 

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include commitments associated with non-cancelable operating leases, which includes office leases for Data Propria and WebTegrity. These leases do not meet the criteria for recording on the balance sheet, due to the term being less than 12 months.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

During the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

 

the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 

subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or any Federal or State authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;

 

found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law;

 

the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of (a) any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; (b) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (c) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

Board Committees

 

The Board of Directors has not had an Audit Committee since February 2006. Until the Company re-establishes an audit committee, the Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. Due to his experience in public accounting and his understanding of GAAP, we believe that Mr. Boden, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, fills the role of “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. Because Mr. Boden is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, he is not independent.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”), and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described below, our Board of Directors makes all decisions for the total direct compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. We do not have a compensation committee, so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.

 

Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards

 

Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation.

 

To date, we have not applied a formal compensation program to determine the compensation of the Named Executives Officers. In the future, as we and our management team expand, our Board of Directors expects to add independent members, form a compensation committee comprised of independent directors, and apply the compensation philosophy and policies described in this section of the 10-K.

 

The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain, and motivate highly talented individuals when we do hire, who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the Board of Directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.

 

Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.

 

Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year.

 

Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements.

 

Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate the Company’s ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered. We currently have not given separation benefits to any of our Name Executive Officers.

 

Benchmarking

 

We have not yet adopted benchmarking but may do so in the future. When making compensation decisions, our Board of Directors may compare each element of compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers against a report showing comparable compensation metrics from a group that includes both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. Our Board believes that while such peer group benchmarks are a point of reference for measurement, they are not necessarily a determining factor in setting executive compensation as each executive officer’s compensation relative to the benchmark varies based on scope of responsibility and time in the position. We have not yet formally established our peer group for this purpose.

The Elements of CloudCommerce’s Compensation Program

 

Base Salary

 

Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The Board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. None of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us. Additional factors reviewed by the Board of Directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the year ended December 31, 2018, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Our Board of Directors determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers at the beginning of each fiscal year, or during the year if needed, and the Board proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions.

 

Incentive Compensation Awards

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have an incentive compensation plan.

 

Equity Incentive Awards

 

Our 2003 Stock Option Plan for directors, officers, employees and key consultants (the “2003 Plan”) which authorized the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2003 Plan terminated upon the expiration of the remaining options granted under the 2003 Plan on May 24, 2014. In the future, we plan to establish a new management stock option plan pursuant to which stock options may be authorized and granted to our executive officers, directors, employees and key consultants. We expect to authorize up to 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock for future issuance under such plan. We believe that stock option awards motivate our employees to work to improve our business and stock price performance, thereby further linking the interests of our senior management and our stockholders. The Board considers several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer, including those previously described, as well as the executive’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities, and the amount of options, if any, currently held by the officer and their vesting schedule. Our policy prohibits backdating options or granting them retroactively. As of June 30, 2014, no stock options granted under the 2003 Plan remain outstanding and the 2003 Plan has been terminated. As of December 31, 2018, 151,475,799 stock options granted outside of the 2003 Plan are outstanding. 

 

Benefits and Prerequisites

 

At this stage of our business we have limited benefits and no prerequisites for our employees other than paid time off that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws. We may adopt retirement plans and confer other fringe benefits for our executive officers in the future if our business grows sufficiently to enable us to afford them.

 

Separation and Change in Control Arrangements

 

We do not have any employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers. No employee is eligible for specific benefits or payments if their employment or engagement terminates in a separation or if there is a change of control.

 

Executive Officer Compensation

 

The following summary compensation table sets forth certain information concerning compensation paid to the three highest paid persons who were executive officers or directors during our last completed fiscal year.

The following table sets forth the names of our executive officers and directors and all persons known by us to beneficially own 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at August 28, 2019.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CloudCommerce, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements of CloudCommerce, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 13, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated statements.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors

CloudCommerce, Inc.

Santa Barbara, California

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CloudCommerce, Inc. (“Company”) as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

CloudCommerce, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formerly known as Warp 9, Inc., Roaming Messenger, Inc., and Latinocare Management Corporation (“LMC”). On July 9, 2015, we changed the name of the Company from Warp 9, Inc. to CloudCommerce, Inc. to reflect a new plan of strategically acquiring profitable data driven marketing solutions providers with strong management teams. The Company, based in San Antonio, Texas, began operations on October 1, 1999. We develop solutions that help our clients acquire, engage, and retain their customers by leveraging cutting edge digital strategies and technologies. We focus intently on using data analytics to drive the creation of great user experiences and effective digital marketing campaigns. Whether it is creating omni-channel experiences, engaging a specific audience, or energizing voters in political campaigns, we believe data is the key to digital success. Our goal is to become the industry leader by always applying a “data first” strategy and acquiring other companies that can help us achieve this vision.  The Company consists of four subsidiaries, Parscale Digital, Inc., which merged with Parscale Creative, Inc., as a result of an acquisition dated August 1, 2017, WebTegrity, LLC, which was acquired November 15, 2017, Data Propria, Inc., which the Company launched February 1, 2018, and Giles Design Bureau, Inc., which spun out from Parscale Digital in May, 2018. On January 17, 2018, the board of directors of the Company elected to change its year end from June 30 to December 31. The Company focuses on four main areas, data analytics, digital marketing, branding and creative services, and web development.

 

Data Analytics

 

To deliver the highest Return on Investment (“ROI”) for our customer’s digital marketing campaign, we utilize sophisticated data science to identify the correct universes to target relevant audiences. Our ability to understand and translate data drives every decision we make. By listening to and analyzing our customers’ data we are able to make informed decisions that positively impact our customers’ business. We leverage industry-best tools to aggregate and visualize data across multiple sources, and then our data and behavioral scientists segment and model that data to be deployed in targeted marketing campaigns. We have data analytics expertise in retail, wholesale, distribution, logistics, manufacturing, political, and several other industries.

 

Digital Marketing

 

We help our customers get their message out, educate their market and tell their story. We do so creatively and effectively by deploying powerful call-to-action digital campaigns with national reach and boosting exposure and validation with coordinated advertising in print media. Our fully-developed marketing plans are founded on sound research methodologies, brand audits and exploration of the competitive landscape. Whether our customer is a challenger brand, a political candidate, or a well-known household name, our strategists are skillful at leveraging data and creating campaigns that move people to make decisions.

 

Branding and Creative Services

 

We approach branding from a “big picture” perspective, establishing a strong identity and then building on that to develop a comprehensive branding program that tells our customer’s story, articulates what sets our customer apart from their competitors and establishes our customer in their market.

 

Development and Managed Infrastructure Support

 

Commerce-focused, user-friendly digital websites and apps elevates our customer’s marketing position and draw consumers to their products and services. Our platform-agnostic approach allows us to architect and build solutions that are the best fit for each customer. Once the digital properties are built, our experts will help manage and protect the website or app and provide the expertise needed to scale the infrastructure needed as our customer’s business grows.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company had negative working capital of $4,146,991 and has historically reported net losses, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through December 31, 2018. It is management’s plan to generate additional working capital from increasing sales from the Company’s service offerings, in addition to acquiring profitable service providers.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of CloudCommerce is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Indaba Group, Inc (“Indaba”, “CLWD Operations”), a Delaware corporation, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), WebTegrity, Inc., a Texas corporation, Data Propria, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Giles Design Bureau, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are $45,613 and $6,184 respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, we included $262,571, ($4,308), and ($35,091), respectively, in expense related to balances that were written off as bad debt. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2017, the company collected balances that were previously written off, resulting in negative expense during those periods.

 

On October 19, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement whereby accounts receivable amounts due from our customers to Parscale Digital were pledged to a third party. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may receive advances in amounts up to $500,000, based on the amounts we invoice our customers, for a period of one year. Because the Company maintains the collectability risk of all outstanding balances, we record the customer balances at fair value in accounts receivable, including an allowance for any balances at risk of collectability, and the amount due to the third party as a liability. On April 12, 2018, the Company amended the secured borrowing arrangement, which increased the maximum allowable balance by $250,000, to a total of $750,000. As of December 31, 2018, the balance due from this arrangement was $102,988.

 

On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into agreements whereby accounts receivable amounts due from our customers to Giles Design Bureau, WebTegrity and Data Propria were pledged to a third party. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company may receive advances in amounts up to $150,000, $150,000 and $600,000, respectively, based on the amounts we invoice our customers, for a period of one year. Because the Company maintains the collectability risk of all outstanding balances, we record the customer balances at fair value in accounts receivable, including an allowance for any balances at risk of collectability, and the amount due to the third party as a liability. As of December 31, 2018, the balance due from these arrangements was $321,106 and zero, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful account receivable, fair value assumptions in accounting for business combinations and analyzing goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

 

F-9

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from professional services and site development fees. We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations includes digital advertising revenue. We also offer professional services such as development services.  The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 606, which are recognized as the work is performed. Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved. If we have performed work for our clients, but have not invoiced clients for that work, then we record the value of the work in an asset in costs in excess of billings. The terms of services contracts generally are for periods of less than one year. The deferred revenue and customer deposits as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,081,570 and $620,504, respectively. See footnote 3 for a disclosure of our use of estimates and judgement, as it relates to revenue recognition.

 

We always strive to satisfy our customers by providing superior quality and service. Since we typically bill based on a Time and Materials basis, there are no returns for work delivered. When discrepancies or disagreements arise, we do our best to reconcile those by assessing the situation on a case-by-case basis and determining if any discounts can be given. Historically, no significant discounts have been granted.

 

Included in revenue are costs that are reimbursed by our clients, including third party services, such as photographers and stylists, furniture, supplies, and the largest component, digital advertising. We have determined, based on our review, that the amounts classified as reimbursable costs should be recorded as gross, due to the following factors:

 

The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement;

 

We have latitude in establishing price;

 

We have discretion in supplier selection; and

 

The Company has credit risk.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, we included $3,870,291, $1,472,565, and zero, respectively, in revenue, related to reimbursable costs.

 

The Company records revenue into the following five categories:

 

Data Sciences – Includes polling, research, modeling, data fees, consulting and reporting.

 

Design – Includes branding, photography, copyrighting, printing, signs and interior design.

 

Development – Includes website coding.

 

Digital Advertising – Includes ad spend, SEO management and digital ad support.

 

Other – Includes domain name management, account management, email marketing, web hosting, email hosting, client training, reimbursed expenses and partner commissions.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (unaudited), revenue was disaggregated into the five categories as follows:

 

   Year ended December 31, 2018   Year ended December 31, 2017 (unaudited) 
   Third Parties   Related Parties   Total   Third Parties   Related Parties   Total 
Data Sciences  $886,600   $51,100   $937,700   $   $   $

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were zero for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $35,758, $17,407, and $5,854, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability, between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company had no assets or liabilities that are required to be valued on a recurring basis.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

      As of December 31, 
   Years  2018   2017 
Equipment  5-7  $169,667   $202,204 
Office furniture  7   27,964    33,615 
Leasehold improvements  Length of lease        
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization      (58,893)   (74,494)
Net property and equipment     $138,739   $161,325

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

 

Business Combinations

 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair value, at the acquisition date, of assets received, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Any costs directly attributable to the business combination are expensed in the period incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.

 

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets 

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2018 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2017 and determined there was impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill from our Indaba acquisition. Accordingly, all intangible assets and goodwill related to the Indaba acquisition has been written off, amounting to $1,239,796. This amount is included in Operating Expenses on the Income Statement, for the six months ended December 31, 2017. An impairment assessment was conducted during the year ended December 31, 2018 and determined that no impairment of intangible assets or goodwill was necessary.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

 

The Company operates in a single industry segment. The Company markets its services to companies and individuals in many industries and geographic locations. The Company’s operations are subject to rapid technological advancement and intense competition. Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk. The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its enterprise customers and other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to terminate services. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $116,312, which was held in the operating bank accounts. Of this amount, none was held in any one account, in amounts exceeding the FDIC insured limit of $250,000. For further discussion on concentrations see footnote 13.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of operations.

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018, included compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2018 based on the grant date fair value estimated. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest or has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017 were $479,182, $275,319, and $502,000, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Income (Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The shares for employee options, warrants and convertible notes were used in the calculation of the income per share.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has excluded 151,475,799 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Series E Preferred shares convertible into 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 40,292,850 shares of common stock underlying $285,363 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company has excluded 134,800,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Series E Preferred shares convertible into 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 24,253,220 shares of common stock underlying $97,013 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

F-13

 

 

For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company has excluded 123,000,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, and 23,421,500 shares of common stock underlying $93,686 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method if their effect would be dilutive.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the year ended December 31, 2018, and the following pronouncements were adopted during the period.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). 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. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company follows paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09, adopting the pronouncements on January 1, 2018. The company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when services are performed to such a degree that the performed service is delivered or deliverable to the client, or when a tangible item, such as interior décor or signage, is delivered to the client. Since the Company was already recognizing revenue in a manner consistent with paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, there was no material impact on prior year results.

 

ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing guidance on revenue recognition with a five-step model for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires a number of disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flows. The guidance can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of initial adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. The timing and measurement of revenue recognition under the new standard is not materially different than under the old standard. The adoption of the new standard had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all of their leases, other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, leases must be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense, similar to current operating leases, while finance leases will result in a front-loaded pattern, similar to current capital leases. We are in the process of implementing changes to our systems and processes in conjunction with our review of existing lease agreements. We will adopt Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and expect to elect certain available transitional practical expedients.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

F-14

 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we used the federal tax rate of 21% in our determination of the deferred tax assets and liabilities balances.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law by the President of the United States. TCJA is a tax reform act that among other things, reduced corporate tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates in the year of enactment, which is the year in which the change was signed into law. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018, using the new corporate tax rate of 21 percent.

 

3.REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 includes the following five criteria:

 

1.Identify the contract with the customer

 

Contract with our customers may be oral, written, or implied. A written and signed contract stating the terms and conditions is the preferred method and is consistent with most customers. The terms of a written contract may be contained within the body of an email, during which proposals are made and campaign plans are outlined, or it may be a stand-alone document signed by both parties. Contracts that are oral in nature are consummated in status and pitch meetings and may be later followed up with email detail of the terms of the arrangement, along with a proposal document. No work is commenced without an understanding between the Company and our customers, that a valid contract exists.

 

2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

Our sales and account management teams define the scope of services to be offered, to ensure all parties are in agreement and obligations are being delivered to the customer as promised. The performance obligation may not be fully identified in a mutually signed contract, but may be outlined in email correspondence, face-to-face meetings, additional proposals or scopes of work, or phone conversations.

 

F-15

 

 

3.Determine the transaction price

 

Pricing is discussed and identified by the operations team prior to submitting a proposal to the customer. Based on the obligation presented, third-party service pricing is established, and time and labor is estimated, to determine the most accurate transaction pricing for our customer. Price is subject to change upon agreed parties, and could be fixed or variable, milestone focused or T&M.

 

4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

If a contract involves multiple obligations, the transaction pricing is allocated accordingly, during the performance obligation phase (criteria 2 above).

 

5.Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation

 

The Company uses several means to satisfy the performance obligations:

 

a.Billable Hours – The company employs a time tracking system where employees record their time by project. This method of satisfaction is used for time and material projects, change orders, website edits, revisions to designs, and any other project that is hours-based. The hours satisfy the performance obligation as the hours are incurred.

 

b.Ad Spend – To satisfy ad spend, the company generates analytical reports monthly or as required to show how the ad dollars were spent and how the targeting resulted in click-throughs. The ad spend satisfies the performance obligation, regardless of the outcome or effectiveness of the campaign. In addition, the Company utilizes third party invoices after the ad dollars are spent, in order to satisfy the obligation.

 

c.Milestones – If the contract requires milestones to be hit, then the Company satisfies the performance obligation when that milestone is completed and presented to the customer for review. As each phase of a project is complete, we consider it as a performance obligation being satisfied and transferred to the customer. At this point, the customer is invoiced the amount due based on the transaction pricing for that specific phase and/or we apply the customer deposit to recognize revenue.

 

d.Monthly Retainer – If the contract is a retainer for work performed, then the customer is paying the Company for its expertise and accessibility, not for a pre-defines amount of output. In this case, the obligation is satisfied at the end of the period, regardless of the amount of work effort required.

 

e.Hosting – Monthly recurring fees for hosting are recognized on a monthly basis, at a fixed rate. Hosting contracts are typically one-year and reviewed annually for renewal. Prices are subject to change at management discretion.

 

The Company generates income from four main revenue streams: data science, creative design, web development, digital marketing, and other. Each revenue stream is unique, and includes the following features:

 

Data Science

 

We analyze big data (large volume of information) to reveal patterns and trends associated with human behavior and interactions that can lead to better decisions and strategic business moves. As a result of our data science work, our clients are able to make informed and valuable decisions to positively impact their bottom lines. We classify revenue as data science that includes polling, research, modeling, data fees, consulting and reporting. Contracts are generated to assure both the Company and the client are committed to partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions and are typically less than one year. Transaction pricing is usually a lump sum, which is estimated by specific project requirements. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met, including, when the data sciences service is performed, polling is conducted, or support hours are expended. If the data sciences service is a fixed fee retainer, then the obligation is earned at the end of the period, regardless of how much service is performed.

 

Creative Design

 

We provide branding and creative design services which set apart our clients from their competitors and establish themselves in their specific market. We believe in showcasing our client’s brand uniquely and creatively to infuse the public with curiosity to learn more. We classify revenue as creative design that includes branding, photography, copyrighting, printing, signs and interior design. Contracts are generated to assure both the company and the client are committed to partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions and are typically less than one year. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met, usually when creative design services obligations are complete, when the hours are recorded, designs are presented, website themes are complete, or any other criteria as mutually agreed.

 

F-16

 

 

Web Development

 

We develop websites that attract high levels of traffic for our clients. We offer our clients the expertise to manage and protect their website, and the agility to adjust their online marketing strategy as their business expands. We classify revenue as web development that includes website coding, website patch installs, ongoing development support and fixing inoperable sites. Contracts are generated to assure both the company and the client are committed to the partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions. Although most projects are long-term (6-8 months) in scope, we do welcome short-term projects which are invoiced as the work is completed at a specified hourly rate. In addition, we offer monthly hosting support packages, which ensures websites are functioning properly. The Company records web development revenue as earned, when the developer hours are recorded (if T&M arrangements) or when the milestones are achieved (if a milestone arrangement).

 

Digital Marketing

 

We have a reputation for providing digital marketing services that get results. Whether presenting a vibrant but simple message about our clients that will enlighten their audience or deploying an influential digital marketing political campaign across one or multiple social media platforms, our marketing strategist are poised to execute and deliver valuable marketing results to our clients. We classify revenue as digital marketing that includes ad spend, SEO management and digital ad support. Billable hours and advertising spending are estimated based on client specific needs and subject to change with client concurrence. Revenue is recognized when ads are run on one of the third-party platforms or when the hours are recorded by the digital marketing specialist, if the obligation relates to support or services.

 

Other

 

We offer services that do not fit into the other four categories but rely heavily on the “other” services to provide the entire support package for our clients. Included in this category are domain name management, account management, web hosting, client training, and partner commissions. Revenue is recognized for these services as the service is performed (such as account management or training) or during the month in which the service was provided (such as hosting, partner commissions and domain name registration).

 

Included in creative design and digital marketing revenues are costs that are reimbursed by our clients, including third party services, such as photographers and stylists, furniture, supplies, and the largest component, digital advertising. We have determined, based on our review, that the amounts classified as reimbursable costs should be recorded as gross (principal), due to the following factors:

 

-The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement;

 

-We have latitude in establishing price;

 

-We have discretion in supplier selection; and

 

-The Company has credit risk

 

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we included $3,870,291 and $1,606,905 respectively, in revenue, related to reimbursable costs.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, revenue was disaggregated into the five categories as follows:

4.LIQUIDITY AND OPERATIONS

 

The Company had net loss of $2,870,013, $2,486,114, and $2,042,504, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of $344,407, $990,053, and $867,850, for the same periods, respectively.

 

While the Company expects that its capital needs in the foreseeable future may be met by cash-on-hand and projected positive cash-flow, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate enough positive cash flow or have sufficient capital to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain working capital and other business financing.  There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain additional working capital through the sale of its securities or from any other source.

 

5.BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

Indaba Group, LLC

 

On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Indaba Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. As of that date, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Warp 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with Indaba Group, LLC and the name of the combined subsidiary was changed to Indaba Group, Inc. (“Indaba”). The total purchase price of two million dollars ($2,000,000) was paid in the form of the issuance of ten thousand (10,000) shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of two hundred dollars ($200) per share and payment of working capital surplus in the amount of $55,601. As of the date of closing, Ryan Shields and Blake Gindi, two of the owners of Indaba Group, LLC, were appointed to the CloudCommerce Board of Directors. On June 23, 2017, Mr. Shields and Mr. Gindi resigned as members of the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2017, neither Mr. Shields nor Mr. Gindi was an employee of the Company.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $2,000,000, which was the fair value of Indaba at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Indaba were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Since the Company determined there were no other separately identifiable intangible assets, any difference between the cost of the acquired entity and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

 

Tangible assets acquired  $417,700 
Liabilities assumed   (193,889)
Net tangible assets   223,811 
Non-compete agreements   201,014 
Customer list   447,171 
Goodwill   1,128,004 
Total purchase price  $2,000,000 

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we determined that the goodwill and intangibles related to the Indaba acquisition were impaired. Therefore, all remaining indefinite and finite-lived intangibles, and goodwill were written off. The amount of the write off, included in operating expenses was $1,239,796.

 

Parscale Creative, Inc.

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Parscale Creative, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Creative”). As of that date, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), merged with Parscale Creative, and the name of the combined subsidiary was changed to Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $7,945,000, was paid in the form of the issuance of ninety thousand (90,000) shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share, plus dividend payments based on 5% of adjusted revenue of Parscale Digital. Adjusted revenue is defined as total revenue, minus digital marketing media buys. Based on the growth of the Parscale Digital, the actual amount of the dividend payments is estimated to be in the range of $850,000 and $1,300,000, over 36 months, if we achieve 0.5% to 3% monthly adjusted revenue growth. The dividend payments are recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we paid $102,610 and $106,259, respectively, related to the Series D Convertible Preferred dividend. As of the date of closing, Brad Parscale, the 100% owner of Parscale Creative, was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company assumed net liabilities of $535,000, related to this acquisition.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $7,945,000, which was the fair value of Parscale Creative at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Parscale Creative were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation consisted of the following:

 

Cash  $200,000 
Customer deposits and accrued expenses   (535,000)
Net tangible liabilities  $(335,000)
      
Non-compete agreements  $280,000 
Brand name   1,930,000 
Customer list   2,090,000 
Goodwill   3,645,000 
Total purchase price  $7,945,000 
      
Issuance of series D convertible preferred stock  $7,610,000 
Net tangible liabilities   335,000 
Total purchase price  $7,945,000 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that, due to the Company never having paid federal income taxes and having a large net operating loss (NOL), it is unlikely we will pay federal income taxes in the foreseeable future. This change in estimate resulted in the Company removing the deferred tax liability from the purchase price of Parscale Creative, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2018, this change in estimate resulted in a reduction of deferred tax liability to zero and goodwill to $3,645,000, or reductions of $1,075,000 to each.

 

WebTegrity, LLC

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of WebTegrity. As of that date, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation, merged with WebTegrity and the name of the combined subsidiary remained unchanged as Parscale Digital. On April 16, 2018, we organized WebTegrity as a Nevada corporation, and split WebTegrity from Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $900,000, was paid in the form of the issuance of ten thousand (10,000) shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share.

Parscale Media, LLC

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Brad Parscale, to purchase Parscale Media, LLC, a website hosting business, formed under the laws of Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Parscale $1,000,000 in cash, upon closing the transaction, but in no event later than January 1, 2018.

 

On February 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended purchase agreement which provided for the issuance of a promissory note to Mr. Parscale as consideration for the acquisition, under which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Parscale $1,000,000 in twelve equal installments, and interest of 4% on the promissory note (the “Parscale Media Note”). For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made total payments of $350,600 on the promissory note, which includes $11,693 of interest expense.

On November 20, 2018, the Company exchanged the remaining balance of the Parscale Media Note for an equal amount owed by Mr. Parscale to the Company.

The above Parscale Creative, WebTegrity, and Parscale Media acquisitions are based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, and include identifiable intangible assets, which were based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price required management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to identifiable intangible assets. These estimated fair values were based on information obtained from management of the acquired companies and historical experience and, with respect to the long-lived tangible and intangible assets, were made with the assistance of an independent valuation firm.

The agreement was amended on March 23, 2017, which increased the allowable borrowing amount by $100,000, to a maximum of $500,000. On November 30, 2017, the agreement auto renewed for another twelve months. The proceeds from the facility are determined by the amounts we invoice our customers. We record the amounts due from customers in accounts receivable and the amount due to the third party as a liability, presented as a “Lines of credit” on the Balance Sheet. During the term of this facility, the third-party lender has a first priority security interest in CLWD Operations, and therefore, we will require such third-party lender’s written consent to obligate CLWD Operations further or pledge our assets against additional borrowing facilities. Because of this position, it may be difficult for CLWD Operations to secure additional secured borrowing facilities. The cost of this secured borrowing facility is 0.05% of the daily balance.

8.CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company signed an addenda to each of its outstanding convertible notes, fixing the conversion price at $0.004. Before the addenda, the conversion price for each of the notes was tied to the trading price of the Company’s common stock. Because of that fluctuation, the Company was required to report derivative gains and losses each quarter, which was included in earnings, and an overall derivative liability balance on the balance sheet. Since the addenda, the Company has eliminated the derivative liability balance on the balance sheet and discontinued the gain/loss reporting on the income statement.

 

On March 25, 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “March 2013 Note”) in the amount of up to $100,000, at which time an initial advance of $50,000 was received to cover operational expenses. The lender, a related party, advanced an additional $20,000 on April 16, 2013, $15,000 on May 1, 2013 and $15,000 on May 16, 2013, for a total draw of $100,000. The terms of the March 2013 Note, as amended, allow the lender to convert all or part of the outstanding balance plus accrued interest, at any time after the effective date, at a conversion price of $0.004 per share. The March 2013 Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per year and matured on March 25, 2018. The Company is working with the lender to extend the maturity date.

11.STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

 

On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for directors, executive officers, and employees of and key consultants to the Company. Pursuant to the now terminated plan, the Company could issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan was administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, and options granted under the plan could be either incentive options or nonqualified options. Each option was exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan or of any option agreement, each option expired on the date specified in the option agreement, which date was to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an incentive option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each incentive option was to be no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the fair market value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each nonqualified option was to be specified by the Board at the time the option is granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date such nonqualified option was granted, but was to be no less than the par value of shares of common stock. The plan provided specific language as to the termination of options granted thereunder.

 

The following options were issued outside of the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan:

 

On August 1, 2017, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to a key employee, at a price of $0.01 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire August 1, 2022. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise. If the optionee exercises on a cashless basis, then the above water value (difference between the option price and the fair market price at the time of exercise) is used to purchase shares of common stock. Under this method, the number of shares of common stock issued will be less than the number of options used to obtain those shares of common stock. On September 30, 2018, the employee exercised, on a cashless basis, 3,324,201 options, resulting in 1,233,509 shares of common stock.

 

On September 18, 2017, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of our common stock to three key employees, at a price of $0.05 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire September 18, 2022. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise.

 

On January 3, 2018, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to three key employees, at a price of $0.04 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire January 3, 2023. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise.

The fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, were determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions:

 

   Year Ended   Six Months Ended 
   December 31, 2018   December 31, 2017 
Risk free interest rate   2.57%   5.00%
Stock volatility factor   250    376 
Weighted average expected option life   3.5 years    5 years 
Expected dividend yield   none    none

As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the intrinsic value of the stock options was approximately $212,950 and $3,632,450, respectively. Stock option expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2017 were $479,182, $275,319, and $502,000, respectively.

 

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows, assuming a 21% and 35% effective tax rate, respectively:

 

   For the years ended
December 31,
 
   2018   2017 
       (unaudited) 
Current tax provision:

Taxable income  $   $ 
Total current tax provision  $   $ 
           
Deferred tax provision:

Change in valuation allowance   (2,781,142)   (4,550,200)
Total deferred tax provision  $   $ 

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $13,247,668 in tax loss carryforwards that can be utilized in future periods to reduce taxable income through 2038. The deferred tax liability balances as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were zero and $1,021,566, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that, due to the Company never having paid federal income taxes and having a large net operating loss (NOL), it is unlikely we will pay federal income taxes in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the period from June 30, 2011 to December 31, 2018 because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the tax loss carryforwards.

 

The Company has no uncertain tax positions.

CLOUDCOMMERCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

JUNE 30, 2019

 

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of CloudCommerce, Inc. (“CloudCommerce,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes filed with the SEC in the Company's Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein. Any such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. Historically, the Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through sales of our securities. It is management’s plan to generate additional working capital from increasing sales from its data sciences, creative, website development and digital advertising service offerings, and then continue to pursue its business plan and purposes.

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of CloudCommerce is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CLWD Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CLWD Operations”, formerly Indaba Group, Inc.), Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), WebTegrity, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“WebTegrity”), Data Propria, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Data Propria”), Parscale Media, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Parscale Media”), and Giles Design Bureau, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Giles Design Bureau”). All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are $21,563 and $45,613 respectively.

On November 30, 2016, CLWD Operations entered into a 12-month agreement wherein amounts due from our customers were pledged to a third party, in exchange for a borrowing facility in amounts up to a total of $400,000. The agreement was amended on March 23, 2017, which increased the allowable borrowing amount by $100,000, to a maximum of $500,000. On November 30, 2017, the agreement auto renewed for another twelve months. The proceeds from the facility are determined by the amounts we invoice our customers. We record the amounts due from customers in accounts receivable and the amount due to the third party as a liability, presented as a “Lines of credit” on the Balance Sheet. During the term of this facility, the third-party lender has a first priority security interest in CLWD Operations’ assets, and therefore, we will require such third-party lender’s written consent to obligate CLWD Operations further or pledge our assets against additional borrowing facilities. Because of this position, it may be difficult for CLWD Operations to secure additional secured borrowing facilities. The cost of this secured borrowing facility is 0.05% of the daily balance. As of June 30, 2019, the balance due from this arrangement was $32,669.

 

On October 19, 2017, Parscale Digital entered into a 12-month agreement wherein amounts due from our customers were pledged to a third party, in exchange for a borrowing facility in amounts up to a total of $500,000. The proceeds from the facility are determined by the amounts we invoice our customers. The Company evaluated this facility in accordance with ASC 860, classifying it as a secured borrowing arrangement. We record the amounts due from customers in accounts receivable and the amount due to the third party as a liability, presented as a “Lines of credit” on the Balance Sheet. During the term of this facility, the third-party lender has a first priority security interest in the Parscale Digital, and will, therefore, we will require such third-party lender’s written consent to obligate the Parscale Digital further or pledge our assets against additional borrowing facilities. Because of this position, it may be difficult for the Company to secure additional secured borrowing facilities. The cost of this secured borrowing facility is 0.05% of the daily balance. On April 12, 2018, the Company amended the secured borrowing arrangement, which increased the maximum allowable balance by $250,000, to a total of $750,000. As of June 30, 2019, the balance due from this arrangement was $487,667.

 

On August 2, 2018, Giles Design Bureau, WebTegrity, and Data Propria entered into 12-month agreements wherein amounts due from our customers were pledged to a third-party, in exchange for borrowing facilities in amounts up to a total of $150,000, $150,000 and $600,000, respectively. The proceeds from the facility are determined by the amounts we invoice our customers. We evaluated these facilities in accordance with ASC 860, classifying as secured borrowing arrangements. We record the amounts due from customers in accounts receivable and the amount due to the third party as a liability, presented as a “Lines of credit” on the Balance Sheet. During the term of these facilities, the third-party lender has a first priority security interest in the respective entities, and will, therefore, we will require such third-party lender’s written consent to obligate the entities further or pledge our assets against additional borrowing facilities. Because of this position, it may be difficult for the entities to secure additional secured borrowing facilities. The cost of this secured borrowing facilities is 0.056%, 0.056% and 0.049%, respectively, of the daily balance. As of June 30, 2019, the combined balance due from these arrangement was $123,320.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful account receivable, fair value assumptions in accounting for business combinations and analyzing goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2019, the Company held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $87,614, which was held in the operating bank accounts. Of this amount, none was held in any one account, in amounts exceeding the FDIC insured limit of $250,000.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Furniture, fixtures & equipment 7 Years
Computer equipment 5 Years
Commerce server 5 Years
Computer software 3 - 5 Years
Leasehold improvements Length of the lease

 

Depreciation expenses were $21,590 and $20,832 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

F-41

 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were zero for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $4,797 and $30,449 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability, between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

 

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had no assets or liabilities that are required to be valued on a recurring basis.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2018 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Business Combinations

 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair value, at the acquisition date, of assets received, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Any costs directly attributable to the business combination are expensed in the period incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.

 

F-42

 

 

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized.

 

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

 

The Company operates in a single industry segment. The Company markets its services to companies and individuals in many industries and geographic locations. The Company’s operations are subject to rapid technological advancement and intense competition. Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk. The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its enterprise customers and other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to terminate services. As of June 30, 2019, the Company held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $87,614, which was held in the operating bank accounts. Of this amount, none was held in any one account, in amounts exceeding the FDIC insured limit of $250,000.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of operations.

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019, included compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of June 30, 2019 based on the grant date fair value estimated. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest or has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $163,644 and $285,976, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Income (Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The shares for employee options, warrants and convertible notes were used in the calculation of the income per share.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has excluded 151,475,799 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Series E Preferred shares convertible into 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 76,353,409 shares of common stock underlying $657,393 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company has excluded 154,800,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Series E Preferred shares convertible into 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 39,158,500 shares of common stock underlying 277,801 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method if their effect would be dilutive.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and the following pronouncements were adopted during the period.

 

F-43

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under ASC 842, lessees are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, leases are classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis, similar to current operating leases, while finance leases result in a front-loaded pattern, similar to current capital leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 and elected certain available transitional practical expedients.

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the year ended December 31, 2018, and the following pronouncements were adopted during the period.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). 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. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company follows paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09, adopting the pronouncements on January 1, 2018. The company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when services are performed to such a degree that the performed service is delivered or deliverable to the client, or when a tangible item, such as interior décor or signage, is delivered to the client. Since the Company was already recognizing revenue in a manner consistent with paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, there was no material impact on prior year results.

 

ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing guidance on revenue recognition with a five-step model for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires a number of disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flows. The guidance can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of initial adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. The timing and measurement of revenue recognition under the new standard is not materially different than under the old standard. The adoption of the new standard had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. The six months ended June 30, 2019, we used the federal tax rate of 21% in our determination of the deferred tax assets and liabilities balances.

3.REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 includes the following five criteria:

 

  1. Identify the contract with the customer

 

Contract with our customers may be oral, written, or implied. A written and signed contract stating the terms and conditions is the preferred method and is consistent with most customers. The terms of a written contract may be contained within the body of an email, during which proposals are made and campaign plans are outlined, or it may be a stand-alone document signed by both parties. Contracts that are oral in nature are consummated in status and pitch meetings and may be later followed up with an email detailing the terms of the arrangement, along with a proposal document. No work is commenced without an understanding between the Company and our customers, that a valid contract exists.

 

  2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

Our sales and account management teams define the scope of services to be offered, to ensure all parties are in agreement and obligations are being delivered to the customer as promised. The performance obligation may not be fully identified in a mutually signed contract, but may be outlined in email correspondence, face-to-face meetings, additional proposals or scopes of work, or phone conversations.

 

  3. Determine the transaction price

 

Pricing is discussed and identified by the operations team prior to submitting a proposal to the customer. Based on the obligation presented, third-party service pricing is established, and time and labor are estimated, to determine the most accurate transaction pricing for our customer. Price is subject to change upon agreed parties, and could be fixed or variable, milestone focused or time and materials.

 

  4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

If a contract involves multiple obligations, the transaction pricing is allocated accordingly, during the performance obligation phase (criteria 2 above).

 

  5. Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation

 

The Company uses several means to satisfy the performance obligations:

 

  a. Billable Hours – The Company employs a time tracking system where employees record their time by project. This method of satisfaction is used for time and material projects, change orders, website edits, revisions to designs, and any other project that is hours-based. The hours satisfy the performance obligation as the hours are incurred.

 

F-45

 

 

  b. Ad Spend – To satisfy ad spend, the Company generates analytical reports monthly or as required to show how the ad dollars were spent and how the targeting resulted in click-throughs. The ad spend satisfies the performance obligation, regardless of the outcome or effectiveness of the campaign. In addition, the Company utilizes third party invoices after the ad dollars are spent, in order to satisfy the obligation.

 

  c. Milestones – If the contract requires milestones to be hit, then the Company satisfies the performance obligation when that milestone is completed and presented to the customer for review. As each phase of a project is complete, we consider it as a performance obligation being satisfied and transferred to the customer. At this point, the customer is invoiced the amount due based on the transaction pricing for that specific phase and/or we apply the customer deposit to recognize revenue.

 

  d. Monthly Retainer – If the contract is a retainer for work performed, then the customer is paying the Company for its expertise and accessibility, not for a pre-defines amount of output. In this case, the obligation is satisfied at the end of the period, regardless of the amount of work effort required.

 

  e. Hosting – Monthly recurring fees for hosting are recognized on a monthly basis, at a fixed rate. Hosting contracts are typically one-year and reviewed annually for renewal. Prices are subject to change at management discretion.

 

The Company generates income from four main revenue streams: data science, creative design, web development, digital marketing, and other. Each revenue stream is unique, and includes the following features:

 

Data Science

 

We analyze big data (large volume of information) to reveal patterns and trends associated with human behavior and interactions that can lead to better decisions and strategic business moves. As a result of our data science work, our clients are able to make informed and valuable decisions to positively impact their bottom lines. We classify revenue as data science that includes polling, research, modeling, data fees, consulting and reporting. Contracts are generated to assure both the Company and the client are committed to partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions and are typically less than one year. Transaction pricing is usually a lump sum, which is estimated by specific project requirements. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met, including, when the data sciences service is performed, polling is conducted, or support hours are expended. If the data sciences service is a fixed fee retainer, then the obligation is earned at the end of the period, regardless of how much service is performed.

 

Creative Design

 

We provide branding and creative design services which set apart our clients from their competitors and establish themselves in their specific market. We believe in showcasing our client’s brand uniquely and creatively to infuse the public with curiosity to learn more. We classify revenue as creative design that includes branding, photography, copyrighting, printing, signs and interior design. Contracts are generated to assure both the company and the client are committed to partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions and are typically less than one year. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met, usually when creative design services obligations are complete, when the hours are recorded, designs are presented, website themes are complete, or any other criteria as mutually agreed.

 

Web Development

 

We develop websites that attract high levels of traffic for our clients. We offer our clients the expertise to manage and protect their website, and the agility to adjust their online marketing strategy as their business expands. We classify revenue as web development that includes website coding, website patch installs, ongoing development support and fixing inoperable sites. Contracts are generated to assure both the company and the client are committed to the partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions. Although most projects are long-term (6-8 months) in scope, we do welcome short-term projects which are invoiced as the work is completed at a specified hourly rate. In addition, we offer monthly hosting support packages, which ensures websites are functioning properly. The Company records web development revenue as earned, when the developer hours are recorded (if T&M arrangements) or when the milestones are achieved (if a milestone arrangement).

 

Digital Marketing

 

We have a reputation for providing digital marketing services that get results. Whether presenting a vibrant but simple message about our clients that will enlighten their audience or deploying an influential digital marketing political campaign across one or multiple social media platforms, our marketing strategist are poised to execute and deliver valuable marketing results to our clients. We classify revenue as digital marketing that includes ad spend, SEO management and digital ad support. Billable hours and advertising spending are estimated based on client specific needs and subject to change with client concurrence. Revenue is recognized when ads are run on one of the third-party platforms or when the hours are recorded by the digital marketing specialist, if the obligation relates to support or services.

 

F-46

 

 

Other

 

We offer services that do not fit into the other four categories but rely heavily on the “other” services to provide the entire support package for our clients. Included in this category are domain name management, account management, web hosting, client training, and partner commissions. Revenue is recognized for these services as the service is performed (such as account management or training) or during the month in which the service was provided (such as hosting, partner commissions and domain name registration).

 

Included in creative design and digital marketing revenues are costs that are reimbursed by our clients, including third party services, such as photographers and stylists, furniture, supplies, and the largest component, digital advertising. We have determined, based on our review, that the amounts classified as reimbursable costs should be recorded as gross (principal), due to the following factors:

 

-The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement;

 

-We have latitude in establishing price;

 

-We have discretion in supplier selection; and

 

-The Company has credit risk

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we included $1,721,404 and 1,813,527, respectively, in revenue, related to reimbursable costs.

 

The deferred revenue and customer deposits as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $1,244,473 and $1,081,570, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), revenue was disaggregated into the five categories as follows:

4.LIQUIDITY AND OPERATIONS

 

The Company had net loss of $1,069,633 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and $1,152,343 the six months ended June 30, 2018, and net cash used in operating activities of $820,728 and $300,034, in the same periods, respectively.

 

While the Company expects that its capital needs in the foreseeable future may be met by cash-on-hand and projected positive cash-flow, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate enough positive cash flow or have sufficient capital to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain working capital and other business financing.  There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain additional working capital through the sale of its securities or from any other source.

5.BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

Parscale Creative, Inc.

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Parscale Creative, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Creative”). As of that date, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), merged with Parscale Creative, and the name of the combined subsidiary was changed to Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $7,945,000, was paid in the form of the issuance of ninety thousand (90,000) shares of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share, plus dividend payments based on 5% of adjusted revenue of Parscale Digital. Adjusted revenue is defined as total revenue, minus digital marketing media buys. Based on the growth of the Parscale Digital, the actual amount of the dividend payments is estimated to be in the range of $850,000 and $1,300,000, over 36 months, if we achieve 0.5% to 3% monthly adjusted revenue growth. The dividend payments are recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we did not pay any dividend related to the Series D Convertible Preferred stock, and as of June 30, 2019, the accrued balance of the Series D Preferred dividend payable was $184,435. At the closing, Brad Parscale, the 100% owner of Parscale Creative, was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company assumed net liabilities of $535,000, related to this acquisition.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $7,945,000, which was the fair value of Parscale Creative at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Parscale Creative were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation consisted of the following:

 

Cash  $200,000 
Customer deposits and accrued expenses   (535,000)
Net tangible liabilities  $(335,000)
      
Non-compete agreements  $280,000 
Brand name   1,930,000 
Customer list   2,090,000 
Goodwill   3,645,000 
Total purchase price  $7,945,000 
      
Issuance of series D convertible preferred stock  $7,610,000 
Net tangible liabilities   335,000 
Total purchase price  $7,945,000 

 

WebTegrity, LLC

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of WebTegrity. As of that date, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation, merged with WebTegrity and the name of the combined subsidiary remained unchanged as Parscale Digital. On April 16, 2018, we organized WebTegrity as a Nevada corporation, and split WebTegrity from Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $900,000, was paid in the form of the issuance of ten thousand (10,000) shares of the Company's Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share.

 

F-48

 

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $900,000, which was the fair value of WebTegrity at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of WebTegrity were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation consisted of the following:

 

Current assets  $78,000 
Fixed assets   30,000 
Liabilities   (48,000)
Net assets   60,000 
Brand name   130,000 
Customer list   280,000 
Goodwill   430,000 
Total purchase price  $900,000 
      
Issuance of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock  $900,000 

 

The above Parscale Creative and WebTegrity acquisitions are based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, and include identifiable intangible assets, which were based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price required management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to identifiable intangible assets. These estimated fair values were based on information obtained from management of the acquired companies and historical experience and, with respect to the long-lived tangible and intangible assets, were made with the assistance of an independent valuation firm.

 

Parscale Media, LLC

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Brad Parscale, to purchase Parscale Media, LLC, a website hosting business, formed under the laws of Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Parscale $1,000,000 in cash, upon closing the transaction, but in no event later than January 1, 2018.

 

On February 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended purchase agreement which provided for the issuance of a promissory note to Mr. Parscale as consideration for the acquisition, under which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Parscale $1,000,000 in twelve equal installments, and interest of 4% on the promissory note (the “Parscale Media Note”). On November 20, 2018, the Company exchanged the remaining balance of the Parscale Media Note for an equal amount owed by Mr. Parscale to the Company. As of November 20, 2018, the balance on the Parscale Media Note was zero.

 

Current assets  $ 
Brand name   100,000 
Customer list   400,000 
Goodwill   500,000 
Total purchase price  $1,000,000 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that, due to the Company never having paid federal income taxes and having a large net operating loss (NOL), it is unlikely we will pay federal income taxes in the foreseeable future. This change in estimate resulted in the Company removing the deferred tax liability from the purchase price of Parscale Media, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2018, this change in estimate resulted in a reduction of deferred tax liability to zero and goodwill to $500,000, or reductions of $125,000 to each.

 

The above Parscale Creative, WebTegrity, and Parscale Media acquisitions are based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, and include identifiable intangible assets, which were based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price required management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to identifiable intangible assets. These estimated fair values were based on information obtained from management of the acquired companies and historical experience and, with respect to the long-lived tangible and intangible assets, were made with the assistance of an independent valuation firm.

11.STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

 

On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for directors, executive officers, and employees of and key consultants to the Company. Pursuant to the now terminated plan, the Company could issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan was administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, and options granted under the plan could be either incentive options or nonqualified options. Each option was exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan or of any option agreement, each option expired on the date specified in the option agreement, which date was to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an incentive option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each incentive option was to be no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the fair market value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each nonqualified option was to be specified by the Board at the time the option is granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date such nonqualified option was granted, but was to be no less than the par value of shares of common stock. The plan provided specific language as to the termination of options granted thereunder.

 

The following options were issued outside of the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan:

 

On August 1, 2017, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to a key employee, at a price of $0.01 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire August 1, 2022. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise. If the optionee exercises on a cashless basis, then the above water value (difference between the option price and the fair market price at the time of exercise) is used to purchase shares of common stock. Under this method, the number of shares of common stock issued will be less than the number of options used to obtain those shares of common stock. On September 30, 2018, the employee exercised, on a cashless basis, 3,324,201 options, resulting in 1,233,509 shares of common stock.

 

On September 18, 2017, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of our common stock to three key employees, at a price of $0.05 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire September 18, 2022. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise.

 

F-56

 

 

On January 3, 2018, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to three key employees, at a price of $0.04 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire January 3, 2023. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise.

 

The Company used the historical industry index to calculate volatility, since the Company’s stock history did not represent the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of options granted during the six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, were determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions:

 

   Six Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30,
2019
   June 30,
2018
 
Risk free interest rate       5.00%
Stock volatility factor       397%
Weighted average expected option life       5 years 
Expected dividend yield       none 

 

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information follows:

 

   Six Months Ended

   Six Months Ended

       Weighted       Weighted

Weighted average fair value of options granted during the period       $        $800,000 

 

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the intrinsic value of the stock options was approximately $126,150 and $212,950, respectively. Stock option expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 were $163,644 and $285,976, respectively.

 

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

14.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement, over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current liabilities, and long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported condensed consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As of June 30, 2019, the company recognized ROU assets of $336,227 and lease liabilities of $338,127.

 

The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate of 10%, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 years to 3 years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to an undetermined number of years.

 

Operating Leases

 

As a result of the WebTegrity acquisition, we assumed a lease for office space used by the WebTegrity employees, at 14603 Huebner Road, Suite 3402, San Antonio, TX 78230. The lease was executed on March 20, 2017 for a period of 36 months, commencing March 20, 2017, at a rate of $2,750 per month from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, $2,950 per month from April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, and $3,150 per month from April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2019, it has been determined that the Company will not attempt to extend this lease past the March 31, 2020 expiration date. This lease does not include a residual value guarantee, nor do we expect any material exit costs. As of January 1, 2019, we determined that this lease meets the criterion to be classified as a ROU Asset and is included on the balance sheet as Right-Of-Use Assets. As of June 30, 2019, the ROU asset and liability balances of this lease were $25,304 and $27,204, respectively.

 

On August 1, 2017, Parscale Digital signed a lease agreement with Giles-Parscale, Inc., a related party, which commenced on August 1, 2017, for approximately 8,290 square feet, at 321 Sixth Street, San Antonio, TX 78215, for $9,800 per month, plus a pro rata share of the common building expenses. The lease expires on July 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2019, it is unclear whether we will attempt to extend this lease beyond the July 31, 2022 expiration date. However, because the lease expiration is greater than twelve months, the lease liability is included on the Balance Sheet as Right-of-use lease. This lease does not include a residual value guarantee, nor do we expect any material exit costs. As of January 1, 2019, we determined that this lease meets the criterion to be classified as a ROU Asset and is included on the balance sheet as Right-Of-Use Assets. As of June 30, 2019, the ROU asset and liability balances of this lease were $310,923 and $310,923, respectively.

 

On October 24, 2017, we executed a lease agreement for office space located at 1933 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara, CA, commencing March 1, 2018 for a period of 36 months, at a rate of $2,795 per month, plus a pro rata share of the common area maintenance. As of September 31, 2018, the Company vacated this office space and the landlord relieved the Company of any further liability by leasing the space to another party. As of September 30, 2018, the Company moved its headquarters to 321 Sixth Street in San Antonio, Texas.

 

On February 12, 2018, we executed a lease agreement for office space at 1415 Park Avenue West, Denver, CO 80205, expiring August 14, 2018, at a cost of $800 per month. This lease was cancelled on June 30, 2018, at no cost to the Company.

This lease was signed with a related party, Jill Giles, an employee of the Company. The Company did not extend this lease upon expiration on April 30, 2019.

 

Total operating lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $87,433 and $118,957, respectively. The Company is also required to pay its pro rata share of taxes, building maintenance costs, and insurance in according to the lease agreement.

 

On May 21, 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the landlord of our previous location at 6500 Hollister Ave., Goleta, CA, to make monthly payments on past due rent totaling $227,052. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will make monthly payments of $350 on a reduced balance of $40,250. Upon payment of $40,250, the Company will record a gain on extinguishment of debt of $186,802. As of June 30, 2019, the Company recorded the outstanding balance under this settlement agreement as a long-term accrued expense, with the current portion of the debt recorded in accrued expenses. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company owed $18,900 and $21,000 on the outstanding reduced payment terms, respectively.

 

The Company is required to pay its pro rata share of taxes, building maintenance costs, and insurance in accordance with the operating lease agreements of Parscale Digital, WebTegrity, and Data Propria.

 

Finance Leases

 

On August 1, 2017, Parscale Digital signed a lease agreement with Parscale Strategy, a related party, for the use of office equipment and furniture. The lease provides for a term of thirty-six (36) months, at a monthly payment of $3,000, and an option to purchase all items at the end of the lease for one dollar. It is certain that the Company will exercise this purchase option. We have evaluated this lease in accordance with ASC 840-30 and determined that it meets the definition of a finance lease.
