INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
GROWTH OF MOBILE AND DIGITAL COMMERCE
Digital Commerce
We believe there are a number of factors that are contributing to the growth of mobile and digital commerce, including the following: (i) accessibility and adoption of smartphone devices throughout the world ;world; (ii) rapid advancements in high-speed internet and 4G cellular networks making the internet more available, reliable, and efficient; (iii) shoppers are more comfortable with the process of browsing and buying products from their mobile devices; (iv) the functionality of both mobile and desktop e-commerce sites continues to improve, a greater range of mobile payment options are available, and special offers and shipping discounts are making online shopping more attractive; (v) businesses are placing more emphasis on their digital commerce strategies as mobile and desktop commerce can reach a larger audience at a comparatively lower cost than the methods used to drive traffic to traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores. As a result of these growth drivers, we believe retailers and wholesalers have begun to build large, global customer bases that can be reached cost-effectively, potentially resulting in higher sales and profitability.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUTSOURCED E-COMMERCE
Opportunities for Outsourced e-Commerce
We believe there are advantages to outsourcing mobile and desktop e-commerce development and management that will continue to make solutions like those of Warp 9CloudCommerce an attractive alternative to building and maintaining this capability in-house. These advantages include: (i) eliminating the substantial up-front and ongoing costs of computer hardware, network infrastructure and specialized application software and personnel; (ii) reducing the time it takes to get online stores live and productive; (iii) shifting the
-4-
ongoing technology, financial, regulatory and compliance risks to a proven service provider; (iv) leveraging the expertise of a mobile and desktop e-commerce service provider to accelerate growth of an online business; and (v) allowing businesses to focus on their specific core competencies.

Back-End Enterprise Application Integration
In an increasingly omni-channel world, seamless integration between web channels, mobile channels, and brick-and-mortar channels, are critical in serving the demanding and technically savvy customers of the 21st century. For example, an e-commerce site without real-time inventory data will frustrate customers with backorders, impedes a company's growth, and erodes brand loyalty. These channels can integrate to each other complementarythrough the cloud, or centrally through cloud-connected back-end business systems. Whether the back-end system is a full-blown enterprise resource planning (ERP) software like SAP and Oracle, or a medium size system such as Brightpearl, our expert teams can customize a solution using best-of-breed middleware, or custom engineering, to achieve any level of integration our customers desire.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
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 June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had working capital deficit of $923,480 and $2,552,692, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred net losses of $7,492,111 and $404,210, respectively. The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 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.
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 $1,128,004 at June 30, 2016 resulting from the acquisition of Indaba Group, LLC. 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 and plan to conduct the next evaluation in conjunction with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2017. 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 June 30, 2016, our total outstanding debts were approximately $549,000. 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 paid back 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 June 30, 2016 was $(7,492,111). -6-
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
-8-
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.
Future acquisitions may include an equity component that may dilute the positions of current stockholders.
As we search for additional companies to acquire, the components of the purchase price 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.
Even though the Company incurs significant costs while attempting to acquire other businesses, there is no guarantee that the transaction will be consummated
The Company incurs significant costs associated with both searching for companies to acquire and in closing a transaction. These costs include, but are not limited to, airfare, legal, audit and consulting fees. Because the merger/acquisition is not only dependent on both parties being dedicated to the completion of the transaction, but also the operational fit must be right, we may not close on all transactions we pursue. Incomplete transactions may result in significant capital out flows with no benefit to the Company.
If there is a triggering event that adversely effects the Company, then our intangible assets may be impaired, resulting in significant write offs.
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets represented approximately 75% of our total assets as of June 30, 2016. 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 have asserted, and 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
-9-
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.
A large portion of our revenue is concentrated with a small number of clients.
For the year ended June 30, 0216, three clients represented approximately 44% of our service fee revenue and we currently expect these clients will represent approximately 44% of our service fee revenue during the year ended June 30, 2017. Termination, reduction, or delay of our services under a contract could result from factors unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project such as factors related to business or financial conditions of the client, changes in client strategies or the domestic or global economy generally. Termination, reduction or substantial delay of services any significant client, or nonrenewal of any significant client contract, or the nonpayment of a material amount of our service fees by a significant client, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operation and financial condition.
If a larger number of companies compete with us, it may be difficult to grow or maintain our revenue.
Many companies offer, on an individual basis, one or more of the same services we do, and we face competition from many different sources depending upon the type and range of services requested by a potential client. Many of these companies have greater capabilities and resources than we do for the single or multiple functions they provide. In addition, we compete against other professional service firms that have substantial offshore operations with lower labor costs, which enable them to offer lower pricing to potential clients. We cannot be certain we will be able to compete successfully against these or other competitors in the future.
In addition, growth in our clients' e-commerce businesses may cause a client to consider making the necessary investments to process their e-commerce operations in-house. In such event, unless we can provide a more cost-effective solution to the client, the client may choose to terminate our services. There is no assurance that we will be able to provide a more cost-effective solution, or that any such solution will not reduce our profitability or be accepted by the client.
If we do not accurately price our fixed fee projects, the Company may suffer from decreased cash flows.
When making a proposal for, or managing, a fixed-price engagement, we rely on our estimates of costs and timing for delivering our services, which may be based on limited data and could be inaccurate. If we do not accurately estimate our costs and the timing for completion of a fixed-price project, the contract for such a project could prove unprofitable or yield a profit margin that is lower than expected. Losses, if any, on fixed-price contracts are recognized when the loss is determined. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of fixed-price contracts, including delays caused by factors outside of our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable and may affect the amount of revenue, profit, and profit margin reported in any period.
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 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.
Due to the low price and volume of our stock, a shareholder may be unable to sell shares, or may lose money on their investment.
The trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in operating results, announcements of material adverse events, general conditions in our industry or the public marketplace and other events or factors, including the thin trading of our common stock. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many technology-related
-10-
companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our operating results differ from our announced guidance or the expectations of equity research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the sec and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
● | the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which:
● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
We have never paid dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future. As a result, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor's investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTCQB which may have an adverse material effect on our Company.
-11-
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our independent public accounting firm in their report dated September 27, 2016 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.
Because there is a limited market in our common stock, stockholders may have difficulty in selling our common stock and our common stock may be subject to significant price swings.
There is a very limited market for our common stock. Since trading commenced on the OTCQB, there has been little activity in our common stock and on some days there is no trading in our common stock. Because of the limited market for our common stock, the purchase or sale of a relatively small number of shares may have an exaggerated effect on the market price for our common stock. We cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell common stock or, that if they are able to sell their shares, that they will be able to sell the shares in any significant quantity at the quoted price.

We believe our products and services allow our clients to lower costs and focus on promoting and marketing their brand, product line and website while leveraging the investments we have made in technology and infrastructure to operate a dynamic digital presence.
Research and development efforts have been focused both on these new
products and on updating our current products with new features. In the planning
phase of these new features, we look to direct client feedback and feature
requests; we study the e-commerce landscape to determine features that will
provide our clients with a competitive advantage in producing greater and more
effective selling; and we also examine features that will create a competitive
advantage during our sales process to clients. Emerging and declining trends
also play a role in how clients perceive what features should be provided by
which vendors and we are sometimes able to capitalize on these opportunities by
bundling features for greater value and/or increased fees and revenue.
A significant portion of the Company's revenues are from monthly recurring
fees for mobile and desktop development. During the fiscal year ending June 30,
2014, these products accounted for approximately 19% of our gross revenue.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, professional services accounted for
approximately 79% of our gross revenue.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these 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 financial statements.
-10-
Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the following:
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when the product is delivered. We maintain anpresent 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 is in accordance with ASC 605-45. 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 605-25, 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.
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.
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 lossesfair 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.
-15-
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 arise if anynot be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of our customers are unableindefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at June 30, 2016, 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 required payments.
Management specifically analyzes the age ofsignificant 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 balances, historical bad
debt experience, customer credit-worthiness,lists, acquired technology, and changes in customer payment
terms when makingtrade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts
receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our
customers has deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic
issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivablefair value are written
off when all collection attempts have failed.
We follow the provisions of ASC 605-10-25, that four conditions must be met
before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an
arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered,
(iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is reasonably
assured.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under
this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not
likelybased upon assumptions believed to be recovered,reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a valuation allowance is provided. In making this
determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing
differences expected in the future. Actualresult, actual results may differ from those
estimates. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSDuring 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.

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, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the Company's capital lease
obligations and 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 that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1measurements)1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
o
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
o
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
o
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

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 consolidated 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 June 30, 2014.
For2016 and 2015 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 the twelve months ended June 30, 2014,existing shareholders, the Company'sprospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business 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 needs have
primarily been met from cash balances on hand.
While Warp 9 expects that its capital needsraised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute current stockholders' ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the foreseeablefair market value of our equity securities. The terms of the securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be met by cash-on-handmore favorable to new investors and projected positive cash-flow, there is no assurancemay 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 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 willwe may need may not be available on terms that are favorable to the Companyus, or at all. In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the CompanyIf we are unable to obtain equipment leases and other business financing. There is no assurance
that Warp 9 wouldrequired additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business. Further, we may not be able to obtain additional workingcontinue operations if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations.
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital through the
private placement of common stock or from anyfinancing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other source.

CloudCommerce, Inc.
(formerly Warp 9, Inc. )
Santa Barbara, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetssheet of CloudCommerce, Inc. (formerly Warp 9, Inc.) and subsidiary as of June 30, 2014 and 2013,2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the yearsyear then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
audit.
We conducted our auditsaudit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our auditsaudit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our auditsaudit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CloudCommerce, Inc. (formerly Warp 9, Inc.) and subsidiary as of June 30, 2014 and 2013,2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the yearsyear then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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 financial statements, the Company does not generate significant revenue and has negative cash flows from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/

USE OF ESTIMATES
-26-

Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimate of
useful lives of property and equipment,long-lived assets, intangible assets, business combinations, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 is in accordance with ASC 605-45. 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 605-25, 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. The terms of services contracts generally are for periods of less than one year. The deferred revenue as of June 30, 20142016 and 20132015 was $3,300$331,644 and zero,$8,000, respectively.

Historically, no returns. Monthly fees are assessedsignificant discounts have been granted.
Research and revenue is recognized at the end of
every month, after service has been provided. Some higher paying customers
may have service level agreements where we guarantee system uptime such as
99.9% of the time per month. If we fall below the agreed upon level of
uptime, we shall credit one day of service fee for each hour our system is

ADVERTISING COSTS2015.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $22,137$57,654 and $498$61,157 for the years ended June 30, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the Company's
capital lease obligations and 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 that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1measurements)1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
o
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
o
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
o
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
