Our Technology

Our suite of applications can be distinguished from other sales enablement applications because our applications utilize our proprietary interactive video technology as the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this annual report on Form 10-K, the terms “we”, “us” “our” and “bBooth” refer to bBooth, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, bBooth (USA), Inc. and Global System Designs Inc., unless otherwise specified.

Corporate Overview – Formation, Corporate Changes and Material Mergers and Acquisitions

We were incorporated in the Stateprimary means of Nevada on November 27, 2012. Following incorporation, our business related to the developmentcommunication between sales and marketing of “green building” information for homeownersprofessionals and owners-builders. In January 2013, we formed a Canadian subsidiary, “Global System Designs Inc.” in response to Canadian demand for consultative building services. Intheir customers and prospects. Moreover, the second quarter of 2014, we decided to explore alternative business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value.

On October 16, 2014, we completed the acquisition of bBooth (USA), Inc., a private Nevada corporation (“bBooth USA”), pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement dated August 11, 2014, as amended, among our company, bBooth USAproprietary data collection and the stockholders of bBooth USA (the “Exchange Agreement”). As a resultanalytics capabilities of our acquisition of bBooth USA, we ceasedapplications inform our users on their devices in real time, when and for how long their prospects have watched a video, how many times such prospects watched it, and what they clicked on, which allows our users to befocus their time and efforts on ‘hot leads’ or interested prospects rather than on those that have not seen such video or otherwise expressed interest in such content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using familiar, intuitive ‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation. Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a “shell company”much more efficient and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending interactive video technology, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934,well as amended.

bBooth USA was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “Cutaia Media Group, LLC” on December 12, 2012. On May 19, 2014, Cutaia Media Group, LLC effected a merger under the laws of the State of Nevada with its affiliate, bBooth, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with bBooth, Inc.several other patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the surviving corporation,unique foundation for all our platform applications.

Our Products

verbCRM combines the capabilities of CRM lead-generation, content management, and in-video ecommerce capabilities in orderan intuitive, yet powerful tool for both inexperienced as well as highly skilled sales professionals. verbCRM allows users to convert from a limited liability company into a corporation. On October 17, 2014, we changed the name of the private Nevada corporation to “bBooth (USA), Inc.”.

bBooth USA was focused on the manufacturequickly and operation of internet-connected, kiosk-sized, professional-quality portable audio-video recording studios, brandedeasily create, distribute, and marketed under the name of “bBooth”, as further described below under “Our Business”).

Prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement, on October 6, 2014, our company effected a name change by merging with our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary named “bBooth, Inc.”, with the surviving corporation having the new name of “bBooth Inc.”. In addition, on October 6, 2014, our company effected a two for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, our authorized capital of common stock increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and our outstanding shares of common stock increased from 5,825,000 shares to 11,650,000 common shares outstanding. The 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share authorized under our capital structure were unchanged in connection with the forward stock split of our common shares. The Nevada subsidiary referred to in this paragraph was created solely for the purpose of effecting the name change and stock split.

2

The name change and forward split became effective for trading purposes at the opening of trading on October 16, 2014 under the stock symbol “GLSID”. Our stock symbol was changed to “BBTH” effective on November 12, 2014. Our new CUSIP number is 07331L 108.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement, bBooth USA converted loans in the aggregate amount of $1,669,316 in principal and accrued interest into an aggregate of 4,769,473 shares of bBooth USA’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. All of such bBooth USA shares were then converted into shares of our common stock on a one for one basis in connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement.

Between September 30, 2014 and October 2, 2014, bBooth USA completed a private placement pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $4,500,000. bBooth USA also issued an aggregate of 659,600 shares of common stock and paid an aggregate cash fee of $412,250 to certain finders in connection with the private placement. Such finders were also reimbursed an aggregate of $23,072 for expenses incurred in connection with the private placement. All of the shares of bBooth USA’s common stock issued in connection with the private placement, including the shares issued to the finders, were converted into shares of our common stock on a one for one basis in connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement.

On December 11, 2014, Songstagram, Inc. (“Songstagram”) and Rocky Wright (“Wright”) issued secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Promissory Notes”) in connection with advances that our company made to Songstagram and Wright. The advances were made by our company in connection with ongoing negotiations for a possible acquisition of Songstagram or its assets by our company. Pursuant to the Promissory Notes, Songstagram has promised to pay us the principal sum of $475,000, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum and Wright has promised to pay us the principal sum of $386,435, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Promissory Notes, were due and payable on the earlier of (i) our demand for payment; or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an event of default, we declared such amounts due and payable or such amounts were made automatically due and payable under the terms of the Promissory Notes. During any period in which an event of default had occurred and was continuing, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 13% per annum. The Promissory Notes could have been prepaid without our prior written consent.

In connection with the Promissory Notes, we took security over all of the assets of Songstagram and Wright (related to Songstagram) pursuant to security agreements (collectively, the “Security Agreements”) with Songstagram and Wright dated December 11, 2014. Pursuant to the Security Agreements, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, agreed to, among other things, (i) pay all secured obligations when due; (ii) upon or following the occurrence of an event of default, pay all of our costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by us in the perfection, preservation, realization, enforcement and exercise of our rights, powers and remedies under the Security Agreements; and (iii) execute and deliver such documents as we deemed necessary to create, perfect and continue the security interests.

Effective January 20, 2015, we entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Songstagram and Wright, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from Wright all assets and intellectual property that Wright owned related to, or used in connection with: (i) the business of Songstagram, (ii) the assets owned and/or used by Songstagram, (iii) the Songstagram software application, (iv) the business and assets of Qubeey Inc. (“Qubeey”), and (v) all software applications of Qubeey, in consideration of the forgiveness of all principal and interest owing by Wright to our company under the Promissory Notes.

3

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, we also agreed to employ Wright in a position, and upon terms and conditions, to be mutually agreed upon by our company and Wright. We subsequently engaged a firm with which Wright is associated to render certain software services to us. We did not and have not employed Wright in any capacity at any time. Wright also agreed that any prior agreements between Wright and Songstagram were of no further force or effect, and that any right, title, interest or claim Wright might have in connection with such agreements was fully satisfied and extinguished. Wright and Songstagram also released our company, and other third parties associated or affiliated with our company, from any claims arising under any such agreements, or otherwise, with respect to the business and assets of Songstagram and Qubeey.

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement and our prior demand for the repayment of all monies owing by Songstagram to our company under the Promissory Notes, as Songstagram was unable to repay such monies, Songstagram consented to the enforcement of the security granted under the Security Agreements, by way of a strict foreclosure. In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and as further provided for in a surrender of collateral, consent to strict foreclosure and release agreement dated January 20, 2015 (the “Surrender of Collateral, Consent to Strict Foreclosure and Release Agreement”) between our company and Songstagram, Songstagram agreed to turn over all collateral pledged under the Security Agreements and consented to our retaining such collateral in satisfaction of the indebtedness due under the Promissory Notes.

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, we and Songstagram entered into termination agreements and releases (each, a “Termination Agreement”) with six employees of, or consultants to, Songstagram pursuant to which each such persons agreed to: (i) the termination of any existing agreementspost videos to which they and Songstagram were parties, and (ii) release any claims against our company and Songstagram with respectcan add a choice of on-screen clickable icons which, when clicked, allow viewers to respond to the assetsuser’s call-to-action in real-time, in the video, while the video is playing, without leaving or stopping the video. For example, our technology allows a prospect or customer to click on a product they see featured in a video and business of Songstagramimpulse buy it, or to click on a calendar icon in the video to make an appointment with a salesperson, among many other features and Qubeey.

Effective March 4, 2015, we entered intofunctionalities designed to eliminate or reduce friction from the sales process for our users. The verbCRM app is designed to be easy to use and navigate and takes little time and training for a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Jeff Franklin (“Franklin”), pursuantuser to which we paid $10,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock of our companybegin using the app effectively. It usually takes less than four minutes for a novice user to Franklin in full settlement and release of a claim that he had on certain assets that we acquired from Songstagram and in consideration of his transfer to us a secured lien he held on assets of Qubeey.

Effective March 5, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Art Malone Jr., pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 320,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Malone in full settlement and release of a claim he had on certain assets the Company acquired from Songstagram. The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Malone were valued at $160,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram. The 320,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Malone on April 29, 2015.

It also has a built-in one-click sync capability with Salesforce.

We continue to invest in the future of interactive livestreaming. Following are some of our recent initiatives:

MARKET is a centralized online destination where shoppers could explore scores of shoppable livestream events, and over time - thousands, across numerous product and service categories, being hosted by people from all over the world, always on - 24/7 - where shoppers could communicate with the hosts, asking questions about products in real-time - through an on-screen chat visible to all shoppers – that allows shoppers who have invited their friends and family to join them there to share the experience - to communicate directly with each other in real time, and then simply click on a non-intrusive - in-video overlay to place items in an on-screen shopping cart for purchase – all without interrupting the video. Shoppers can visit any number of other shoppable events to meet up and chat with friends, old and new, and together watch, shop and chat with the hosts, discover new products and services, and become part of an immersive entertaining shopping experience. Throughout the experience, the shopping cart follows shoppers seamlessly from event to event, shoppable video to shoppable video, host to host, product to product.

The MARKET business model is a simple but next-level B to B play. It is a multi-vendor platform, with a single follow-me style unified shopping cart, and robust ecommerce capabilities with the tools for consumer brands, big box brick and mortar stores, boutiques, influencers and celebrities to connect with their clients, customers, their fans, followers, and prospects by providing a unique, interactive social shopping experience that we believe could keep them coming back and engaged for hours.

A big differentiator for MARKET is that it also provides an online meeting place for friends and family to meet, chat, shop and enjoy a fun, immersive shopping experience in real time together from anywhere and everywhere in the world. MARKET will provide vendors with extensive business building analytics capabilities not available on, and not shared by many operators of other social media sites who regard that information as valuable proprietary property. All vendors on MARKET will retain this valuable intelligence for their own, unlimited use.

MARKET allows vendors an opportunity to reach not only the shoppers they invite to the site from their own client and contact lists, but also those shoppers who came to the site independently who will discover these vendors as they browse through the many other shoppable events hosted simultaneously on MARKET 24/7, from around the world. We believe our revenue model will be attractive to vendors and will consist of SaaS recurring revenue as well as a share of revenue generated through sales on the platform.

MARKET will also incorporate a modified version of our verbLIVE Attribution technology, allowing vendors who so choose, to leverage extremely powerful, built-in affiliate marketing capabilities. Non-vendor visitors to the site can search for those vendors that have activated the Attribution feature for their events and be compensated when people they referred to that vendor, purchase products or services during that vendor’s shopping event. We expect that this feature, unique to MARKET, will drive many more shoppers who will be referred from all over the world, producing a cross-pollination effect enhancing the revenue opportunities for all MARKET vendors, while also creating an attractive income generating opportunity for non-vendor MARKET patrons.

MARKET is an entirely new platform, built wholly independently and separate from our verbLIVE sales platform, representing what we believe is the state of the art of shoppable video technology. It will utilize an ultra-low latency private global CDN network that we control, allowing us to deliver a high-quality experience and platform performance capabilities. We also believe that MARKET will expose vendors to our entire suite of sales enablement products, such as verbMAIL, among others, that could drive new cross selling revenue opportunities.

verbTV is an online destination for shoppable entertainment. Whereas MARKET is a social shopping experience, verbTV is a destination for those seeking commercial-free television content, such as concerts, game shows, sports, including e-sports, sitcoms, podcasts, special events, news, including live events, and other forms of video entertainment that is all interactive and shoppable. verbTV represents an entirely new distribution channel for all forms of content by a new generation of content creators looking for greater freedom to explore the creative possibilities that a native interactive video platform can provide for their audience. We believe content creators may also enjoy greater revenue opportunities through the native ecommerce capabilities the platform provides to sponsors and advertisers who will enjoy real-time monetization, data collection and analytics. Through verbTV, sponsors and advertisers will be able to accurately measure the ROI from their marketing spend, instead of relying on decades-old, imprecise viewership information.

At launch, verbTV will feature the popular business pitch show “2 Minute Drill” currently shown on Amazon Prime and Bloomberg TV. However, verbTV will host a shoppable version of the 12 episodes of the upcoming Season 3. Each episode is a fast-paced reality show where 5-6 entrepreneurs competing for $50,000 in cash and prizes, have 2 minutes to impress the judges with the best investor pitch. Our CEO is one of the judges on the show. Expected to air in early 2022, verbTV viewers will be able to click on-screen and purchase the products and services of the contestants featured on the show, among other contemplated interactive features. Dave Meltzer, the creator of the show, and Co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing and the former CEO of the renowned Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency, has signed-on with Verb to produce other interactive and shoppable entertainment for verbTV. Other such partnerships, as well as a creator program, are currently in progress.

Verb Partnerships and Integrations

verbMAIL for Microsoft Outlook is a product of our partnership with Microsoft and is available as an add-in to Microsoft Outlook for Outlook and Office 365 subscribers. verbMAIL allows users to create interactive videos seamlessly within Outlook by clicking the verbMAIL icon in the Outlook toolbar. The videos are automatically added to an email and can be sent easily through Outlook using the user’s contacts they already have in Outlook. The application allows users to easily track viewer engagement and together with other features represents an effective sales tool available for all Outlook users worldwide. Currently offered without charge, a subscription-based paid version with a suite of enhanced features for sales and marketing professionals is slated for release later this year.

Salesforce Integration. We have completed and deployed the integration of verbLIVE into Salesforce and have launched a joint marketing campaign with Salesforce to introduce the verbLIVE plug-in functionality to current Salesforce users. We have also developed a verbCRM sync application for Salesforce users that is currently being utilized by at least one of our large enterprise clients and the verbLIVE plug-in is now being offered to all Salesforce users on a monthly subscription fee basis while we work to build adoption rates.

Popular Enterprise Back-Office System Integrations. We have integrated verbCRM into systems offered by 19 of the most popular direct sales back-office system providers, such as Direct Scale, Exigo, By Design, Thatcher, Multisoft, Xennsoft, and Party Plan. Direct sales back-office systems provide many of the support functions required for direct sales operations, including payroll, customer genealogy management, statistics, rankings, and earnings, among other direct sales financial tracking capabilities. The integration into these back-office providers, facilitated through our own API development, allows single sign-on convenience for users, as well as enhanced data analytics and reporting capabilities for all users. Our experience confirms that our integration into these back-end platforms accelerates the adoption of verbCRM by large direct sales enterprises that rely on these systems and as such, we believe this represents a competitive advantage.

Non-Digital Products and Services

Historically, we provided certain non-digital services to some of our enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services. We designed and printed welcome kits and starter kits for their marketing needs and provided fulfillment services, which consisted of managing the preparation, handling and shipping of our client’s custom-branded merchandise they use for marketing purposes at conferences and other events. We also managed the fulfillment of our clients’ product sample packs that verbCRM users order through the app for automated delivery and tracking to their customers and prospects.

In May 2020, we executed a contract with Range Printing (“Range”), a company in the business of providing enterprise class printing, sample assembly, warehousing, packaging, shipping, and fulfillment services. Pursuant to the contract, through an automated process we have established for this purpose, Range receives orders for samples and merchandise from us as and when we receive them from our clients and users, and print, assemble, store, package and ship such samples and merchandise on our behalf. The Range contract provides for a service fee arrangement based upon the specific services to be provided by Range that is designed to maintain our relationship with our clients by continuing to service their non-digital needs, while eliminating the labor and overhead costs associated with the provision of such services by us.

Our Market

Historically, our client base consisted primarily of multi-national direct sales enterprises to whom we provide white-labeled, client-branded versions of our products. During the year ended December 31, 2021, our client base expanded to include large enterprises in the life sciences sector, professional sports franchises, educational institutions, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as clients in the entertainment industry and the burgeoning CBD industry, among other business sectors. As of December 31, 2021, we provided subscription-based application services to approximately 150 enterprise clients for use in over 100 countries, in over 48 languages, which collectively account for a user base generated through more than 3.1 million downloads of our verbCRM application. Among the new business sectors targeted for this year are medical equipment and pharmaceutical sales, armed services and government institutions, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.

We have entered into partnership agreements with other CRM providers to incorporate our interactive video technology into such other CRM providers’ software platforms to be offered to their existing and prospective client base for an additional monthly recurring fee, which fee is shared with us. In January 2018, we entered into such an agreement with Oracle America, Inc. to integrate our interactive video technology into their NetSuite platform on a revenue-share basis. In February 2018, we entered into a similar agreement with Adobe Marketo to integrate our interactive video technology into their platform on a revenue-share basis.

For example, under our agreement with Microsoft, their value-added cloud services resellers may choose to bundle our application for resale to their respective customer bases; and
We employ a direct sales team, as well as outside sales consultants.

Our Historical Background

Verb Technology Company, Inc. is a SaaS application platform developer, incorporated in 2012 in the state of Nevada.

On February 1, 2019, we implemented a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (our “common stock”). As a result of the reverse stock split, every 15 shares of our pre-split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock. Our consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect the 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our common stock.

In April 2019, we acquired Sound Concepts Inc. (“Sound Concepts”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger. As a result of the merger, Sound Concepts merged with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, NF Acquisition Company, LLC. Upon completion of the merger, NF Acquisition Company, LLC changed its name to Verb Direct, LLC (“Verb Direct”).

On September 4, 2020, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC (“Verb Acquisition”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Ascend Certification, LLC, dba SoloFire (“SoloFire”).

On October 18, 2021, we established verbMarketplace, LLC (“Market LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Market LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company established for our MARKET platform.

Our common stock and common stock purchase warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “VERB” and “VERBW,” respectively. Our Internet website address is https://www.verb.tech.

Marketing

We utilize our own proprietary interactive video platform as the foundation of our ongoing marketing initiatives. Our initiatives include, among other things, daily, broad-based social media engagement by a dedicated team of full-time employees and outside consultants; management of our interactive video-based website; and interactive video-based email campaigns and television commercials. In addition, the 19 direct sales back-office systems providers with whom we have integrated verbCRM, market our applications to their customers and prospects in exchange for finders’ fees.

Competition

CRM software generated more than $69 billion in sales revenue throughout the world in 2020, accounts for the largest share in the overall enterprise software market, and is the third fastest growing according to a 2020 market share update from Gartner. We compete in the CRM applications industry, as well as those of our clients.

Marketing

Our marketing strategy is two-fold. First, we leverage the existing relationships we have in the entertainmentvideo conferencing/webinar industry. We believe that CRM applications that incorporate our proprietary Verb interactive video technology provide significant competitive advantages over the CRM applications that do not. Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Adobe, the long-term leaders in the CRM sector, collectively account for approximately 36% of industry including those introduced by Hollywood celebrity Nick Cannon, our Chief Strategy Officersales. These companies, as well as many others, have numerous differences in feature sets and Global Brand Ambassador, among other such industry relationships. Second, we’ve partnered with Sapper Consulting whose clients include Fortune 500 companiesfunctionality, but all share certain basic attributes. Most of them were designed before the advent and span a broad rangeproliferation of industries including professionalmobile phones, social media, and financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, IT,the technology behind the current ubiquity of video over the internet and marketing, allmore recently on mobile devices. While many of whom fall directlythem have attempted to incorporate video capabilities into our sweet spottheir respective CRM platforms, sometimes in ‘‘bolt-on’’ fashion, we do not believe any of targeted bNotifi users. These relationships are used to showcase our bNotifi technology, which is a next generation lead generation and marketing technology, and these efforts have resultedthem has done so in a fairly robustmanner that is as effective as our interactive in-video ecommerce platform that allows users to place clickable calls-to-action right in the video, including into users’ pre-existing sales pipelineand product videos. In addition, Verb’s interactive videos are viewable on both mobile and desktop devices regardless of potential customersoperating system and without the need to download a proprietary player or program.

We also compete in the video webinar and ecommerce solution provider sectors. The webinar sector is dominated by Zoom, WebEx, and Go2Meeting, among others. The ecommerce solution provider sector is dominated by Shopify, among others. However, we believe our verbLIVE application provides a superior solution for users seeking to use video webinars as a sales tool because our productsin-video clickable icons provide seamless in-video ecommerce capabilities that are not offered by either Zoom (or other large webinar providers) or Shopify. We believe verbLIVE represents a unique solution that combines the best features of Zoom and services, all of which areShopify in various stages of development, testing, due diligence and/or negotiation.

Competition

While we aware of numerous providers of enterprise level messaginga single application, offering users a more friction-free and communications platforms, we are unaware of anyone offering products or serviceseffective selling experience. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the market share, marketing strength, and established positions in the marketplace that are comparable toof our proprietary ‘push-to-screen,’ ‘walk-out,’ and interactive video technologies.competitors may prevent us from obtaining a large share of these markets.

Intellectual Property

Our bNotifipolicy is to protect our technology platformthrough, among other things, a combination of patents, trade secrets and associated applications, featurescopyrights.

Third parties may also design around our proprietary rights, which may render our protected technology and products less valuable, if the design around is favorably received in the marketplace.

We recently filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) with respect to providing interactive video streams involving interactive buttons which we utilize in our video products. However, our provisional patent application may not result in the issuance of operations.a patent, or may result in narrow claims, which may limit the protection we are attempting to obtain. We also hold a number of granted patents in two families with pending continuations. A first family relates to systems and methods for enhanced networking, conversion tracking, and conversion attribution. This family contains two issued patents (U.S. Pat. No. 9,792,380, issued October 17, 2017; and U.S. Pat. No. 10,467,317, issued Nov. 5, 2019) and a pending continuation. A second family relates to systems and methods for generating a custom campaign. This family contains one issued patent (U.S. Pat. No. 10,643,247, issued May 5, 2020) and a pending continuation. These existing patents and any future patents that may be issued to us, may not protect commercially important aspects of our technology. Furthermore, the validity and enforceability of such patents may be challenged by third parties, which may result in our patents being invalidated or modified by the PTO, various legal actions against us, the need to develop or obtain alternative technology or appropriate licenses under third-party patents, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Employees

March 25, 2022, we had 107 full-time statutory employees, five part-time employees, and 55 independent contractors. We currently operate with 3 full time employees. We also employ consultantsengage independent contractors on an as-needed-basisas-needed basis to provide specific expertise in areas of software design, development and coding, content creation, audio and video editing, video production services, and other business functions, including marketing and accounting. None of our employees or consultants, all of whom work in North America, are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have had no labor-related work stoppages and we believe our relationsrelationship with our employees, both full-time and part-time, consultants, and independent contractors, is satisfactory.

We take the health and welfare of our employees very seriously and have encouraged safe practices designed to stem the infection and spread of COVID-19 within our workforce and beyond and to maintain the mental health and well-being of our employees. Beginning in March 2020, in an effort to protect our employees and comply with applicable government orders, we restricted non-essential employee travel and transitioned our employees to a remote work environment. We currently expect the majority of our employees will continue working remotely at least through the end of 2022. We are committed to our employees returning to the workplace in the long-term.

There is no seasonalityCOVID-19 and its variants, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to our business or major fluctuationsthe economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in monthly demand.the financial markets.

 

Despite increased vaccine distribution programs and loosening of COVID-19-related restrictions in the regions in which we operate during the year ended December 31, 2021, both the pandemic and ongoing containment and mitigation measures have had, and are likely to continue to have, an adverse impact on the global and U.S. economies, the severity and duration of which are uncertain. As such, our business, operations and financial condition has been, and we anticipate will continue to be, adversely impacted by reduced demand for our applications and non-digital services, as well as reduced access to capital. To mitigate the adverse impact COVID-19 may have on our business and operations, we implemented a number of measures to strengthen our financial position, including eliminating, reducing, or deferring non-essential expenditures. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, financial conditions, and results of operations in the future remains uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the emergence of variants to COVID-19 the duration and extent of imposed or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the extent, duration, and effective execution of government stabilization and recovery efforts, including those from the successful distribution of effective vaccines.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have long-term effects on the nature of the office environment and remote working. This may present operational and workplace culture challenges that may adversely affect our business. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2021 and through the filing of this Annual Report, we have encouraged safe practices designed to stem the infection and spread of COVID-19 within our workforce and beyond and to maintain the mental health and well-being of our employees.

We began the year ended December 31, 2021 with healthy demand for our products, including our SaaS products, many of which are designed to enable our customers to manage their businesses virtually. Our non-digital business was negatively impacted in the year ended December 31, 2021 as events and sales opportunities were cancelled or shifted to a virtual environment due to the pandemic. Although the impact has not been material to date, a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our customers and demand for our services.

We continue to actively communicate with and listen to our customers to ensure we are responding to their needs in the current environment with innovative solutions that will not only be beneficial now but also over the long-term. We monitor developments related to COVID-19 and remain flexible in our response to the challenges presented by the pandemic.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investmentOur short and long-term success is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors that are difficult to predict or beyond our control. As a result, investing in ourthe Company’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks. Yousubstantial risk. The Company’s stockholders should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this annual report in evaluatingAnnual Report, as well as the other information we file with the SEC from time to time.

Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our company and its business before purchasing our securities. Our business, operating resultsoperations and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence ofresults. If any of the following risks.

In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment dueinvestment. Our filings with the SEC also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have incurred significant net losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations, and our auditors have issued a “going concern” audit opinion.operations.

To date, we have not derived any revenues from our operations and

We have incurred recurring losses since inception.our inception in 2012. Our net loss was $4,274,105$34,486,000 for the year ended December 31, 20162021 and $6,955,228$24,956,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. As2020. To date, we have funded our operations through cash collected from sales of December 31, 2016,our products and services, offerings of our equity securities, and debt financing. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to the design, development and commercialization of our products, the scaling of our technology and infrastructure, and our marketing and sales efforts. We may continue to incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays, and other unknown events.

To implement our business strategy and achieve consistent profitability, we had stockholders’ deficit of $3,468,223. We will need to, raise additional working capitalamong other things, increase sales of our products and the gross profit associated with those sales, undertake increased technology and production efforts to continuesupport our normalbusiness and planned operations. Weincrease our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of customers and clients utilizing our services. These expenditures may make it more difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. In addition, our efforts to grow our business may be more expensive than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset increased operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. To offset these anticipated increased operating expenses, we will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake increased technology and production efforts to support our business and increase our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of customers and clients utilizing our services. In addition, as a public company, we will incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. These expenditures will make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital and make it harder for us to achieve and maintain profitability. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our higher operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events.

Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern and we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our infrastructure, restructure our balance sheet, further develop our marketing efforts, and otherwise implement our growth initiatives. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability would have a materially adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan, our results and operations, and our financial condition, and could cause the value of our common stock, to decline, resulting in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

Our independent auditorsregistered public accounting firm’s reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm indicated in theirits report on our December 31, 2016audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to stockholders, in the event of liquidation. The presence of the going concern note to our financial statements may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to operate our business and pay our debt obligations as they become due, we may need to seek to borrow additional funds, dispose of our assets, or reduce or delay capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed acceptable to us, if at all. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business, as planned, and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the results of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment. Our audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For additional information, please refer to the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern,” as well as Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Annual Report.

Public health threats, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters and other events beyond our control, have had and may continue to have a significant negative impact on our business, sales, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Public health threats and other highly communicable diseases and outbreaks could adversely impact our operations, the operations of our customers, suppliers, distributors and other business partners, as well as the healthcare system in general. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and federal, state, and local governments take increasingly broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. We have experienced disruption to our business, both in terms of disruption of our operations and the adverse effect on overall economic conditions. These conditions have had significant negative impacts on all aspects of our business. Our business is dependent on the continued health and productivity of our employees, including our software engineers, sales staff and corporate management team. Individually and collectively, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, sales, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services.

Additionally, our liquidity could be negatively impacted if these conditions continue for a significant period of time and we may be required to pursue additional sources of financing to obtain working capital, maintain appropriate inventory levels, and meet our financial obligations. Capital and credit markets have been disrupted by the crisis and our ability to obtain any required financing is not guaranteed and largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors. Depending on the continued impact of the crisis, further actions may be required to improve our cash position and capital structure.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or other public health threats, natural disasters or catastrophic events, ultimately impacts our business, sales, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience significant impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to us or not available on terms favorable to us.

The ability of our business to continue its normal and planned operations and to grow and compete will depend on the availability of adequate capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to continue our normal and planned operations and to implement our growth strategy. As a result, we cannot assure you that adequatehave limited capital will be available to continue our normal and planned operations and to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

resources. We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.

We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business and continue with our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations. To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to do sofinance our operations in the same manner in the foreseeable future. AdditionalOur ability to continue our normal and planned operations, to grow our business, and to compete in our industry will depend on the availability of adequate capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our existingthen-existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we would likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors.then-existing stockholders. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts.efforts, or reduce or discontinue our operations. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.

 

Our indebtedness, and the agreements governing such indebtedness, subject us to required debt service payments, as well as financial restrictions and operating covenants, any of which may reduce our financial flexibility and affect our ability to operate our business.

From time to time, we have financed our liquidity needs in part from borrowings made under various credit agreements. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate outstanding balance of our notes payable was $5,096,000. Additionally, in January 2022 we entered into a securities purchase agreement with three institutional investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300,000 in convertible notes due 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “Note Offering”), as well as a security agreement with the Note Holders in connection with the Note Offering, pursuant to which we granted a security interest to the Note Holders in substantially all of our assets.

The agreements underlying these transactions contain certain financial restrictions, operating covenants, and debt service requirements. Our failure to comply with obligations under these agreements, or inability to make required debt service payments, could result in an event of default under the agreements. A default, if not cured or waived, could permit a lender to accelerate payment of the loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Further, if our debt is accelerated, we cannot be certain that funds will be available to pay the debt or that we will have the ability to refinance the debt on terms satisfactory to us or at all. If we are unable to repay or refinance the accelerated debt, we could become insolvent and seek to file for bankruptcy protection, which would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.

In addition, the covenants in our credit agreements could limit our ability to engage in transactions that would be in our best interest, or otherwise respond to changing business and economic conditions, and may therefore have a material impact on our business. For example, our borrowings will require debt service payments, which could require us to divert funds identified for other purposes to such debt service payments. Further, if we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to refinance the debt, dispose of its assets, or reduce or delay expenditures. Alternatively, we may be required to issue equity to obtain necessary funds, which would be dilutive to our stockholders. We do not know whether we would be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis or at all.

Our current or future level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

the covenants contained in current or future agreements governing outstanding indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds, refinance debt, dispose of assets, and make certain investments;
debt covenants may also affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry;
a high level of debt would increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
a significant level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and, therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness would prevent us from pursuing; and

a high level of debt may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, debt service requirements, acquisitions, or other purposes.

For additional information refer to the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” as well as Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The success of our business is dependent upon our ability to maintain and expand our customer base and our ability to convince our customers to increase the use of our services and/or platform. If we are unable to expand our customer base and/or the use of our services and/or platform by our customers declines, our business will be harmed.

Our ability to expand and generate revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and expand our relationships with existing customers and convince them to increase their use of our platform. If our customers do not increase their use of our platform, then our revenue may not grow and our results of operations may be harmed. It is difficult to predict customers’ usage levels accurately and the loss of customers or reductions in their usage levels may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If a significant number of customers cease using, or reduce their usage of, our platform, then we may be required to spend significantly more on sales and marketing than we currently plan to spend in order to maintain or increase revenue. These additional expenditures could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Most of our customers do not have long-term contractual financial commitments to us and, therefore, most of our customers could reduce or cease their use of our platform at any time without penalty or termination charges.

The market in which we operate is intensely competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for CRM applications is intensely competitive and rapidly changing, barriers to entry are relatively low, and many of our competitors, including Salesforce.com, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP SE, and Adobe, which collectively account for approximately 36% of industry sales, have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources, than we do. In addition, many of our potential competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators, and resellers. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, customer requirements, competitive pressures, or challenges within the financial markets. Furthermore, because of these advantages, even if our products and services are more effective than the products and services that our competitors offer, potential customers might accept competitive products and services in lieu of purchasing our products and services. If we do not compete effectively against our current and future competitors, our operating results could be harmed.

10

We may not be able to increase the number of our strategic relationships or grow the revenues received from our current strategic relationships.

We have entered into certain strategic relationships with other marketing and CRM platforms, such as Oracle NetSuite and Adobe Market, to incorporate and integrate our interactive video technology, and are actively seeking additional strategic relationships. There can be no assurance, however, that these strategic relationships will result in material revenues for us or that we will be able to generate any other meaningful strategic relationships. If we are not able to increase the number of our strategic relationships or grow the revenues received from our current strategic relationships, our operating results could be harmed.

We may not be able to develop enhancements and new features to our existing service or acceptable new services that keep pace with technological developments.

If we are unable to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our sales enablement applications that keep pace with rapid technological developments, such as verbLIVE, our business will be harmed. The success of enhancements, new features, and services depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction, and market acceptance of the feature or edition. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our revenue growth or harm our reputation. We may not be successful in either developing these modifications and enhancements or in timely bringing them to market at a competitive price or at all. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our service to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our service, result in customer dissatisfaction, and harm our business.

Our ability to deliver our services is dependent on third party Internet providers.

The Internet’s infrastructure is comprised of many different networks and services that, by design, are highly fragmented and distributed. This infrastructure is run by a series of independent, third-party organizations that work together to provide the infrastructure and supporting services of the Internet under the governance of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names (“ICANN”) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (“IANA”), which is now related to ICANN.

The Internet has experienced, and will continue to experience, a variety of outages and other delays due to damages to portions of its infrastructure, denial-of-service attacks, or related cyber incidents. These scenarios are not under our control and could reduce the availability of the Internet to us or our customers for delivery of our services. Any resulting interruptions in our services or the ability of our customers to access our services could result in a loss of potential or existing customers and harm our business.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information, and thatproprietary business information of our customers, including, credit card and payment information, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees. The secure processing, maintenance, and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite

In addition, we are subject to numerous federal, state, provincial and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of data. Some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data and our agreements with certain customers require us to notify them in the event of a security incident. Evolving regulations regarding personal data and personal information, including the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), and the recently passed California Privacy Rights Act, which amends the CCPA and has many provisions that will go into effect on January 1, 2023, especially relating to classification of IP addresses, machine identification, location data and other information, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business. Such laws and regulations require or may require us or our customers to implement privacy and security policies, permit consumers to access, correct or delete personal information stored or maintained by us or our customers, inform individuals of security incidents that affect their personal information, and, in some cases, obtain consent to use personal information for specified purposes.

We believe that we take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information we collect, use, store, and disclose, and we take steps to strengthen our security measures,protocols and infrastructure, however, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored thereWe also could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lostnegatively impacted by software bugs or stolen.other technical malfunctions, as well as employee error or malfeasance. Advanced cyber-attacks can be multi-staged, unfold over time, and utilize a range of attack vectors with military-grade cyber weapons and proven techniques, such as spear phishing and social engineering, leaving organizations and users at high risk of being compromised. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, a disruption of our operations, damage to our reputation, or a loss of confidence in our business, early termination of our contracts and other business losses, indemnification of our customers, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigations and other significant liabilities, any of which could materially harm our business any of which could adversely affect our business, revenues, and competitive position.

Our business is highly competitivesuccess depends, in part, on the capacity, reliability, and any failure to adapt to changing consumer preferences may adversely affectsecurity of our businessinformation technology hardware and financial results.

We operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing environment. Our success will, to a large extent, be dependent onsoftware infrastructure, as well as our ability to acquire, develop, adopt, upgradeadapt and exploit new and existing technologies to address consumers’ changing demands and distinguishexpand our services from those of our competitors. We may not be able to accurately predict technological trends or the success of new products and services. If we choose technologies or equipment that are less effective, cost-efficient or attractive to our customers than those chosen by our competitors, or if we offer services that fail to appeal to consumers, are not available at competitive prices or that do not function as expected, our competitive position could deteriorate, and our business and financial results could suffer. The ability of our competitors to introduce new technologies, products and services more quickly than we do may adversely affect our competitive position. Furthermore, advances in technology, decreases in the cost of existing technologies or changes in competitors’ product and service offerings may require us in the future to make additional research and development expenditures or to offer products and services at no additional charge or at a lower price. In addition, the uncertainty of our ability, and the costs, to obtain intellectual property rights from third parties could impact our ability to respond to technological advances in a timely and effective manner.infrastructure.

We expect that the success of our business will be highly correlated to general economic conditions.

We expect that demand for our products and services will be highly correlated with general economic conditions, as we expect a substantial portion of our revenue will be derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Declines in economic conditions in the United States or in other countries in which we may operate may adversely impact our financial results. Because such declines in demand are difficult to predict, we or the industry may have increased excess capacity as a result. An increase in excess capacity may result in declines in prices for our products and services. Our ability to grow or maintain our business may be adversely affected by sustained economic weakness and uncertainty, including the effect of wavering consumer confidence, high unemployment and other factors.

Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial results and operations.

We rely on licenses and other agreements with our vendors and other parties and other intellectual property rights to conduct our operations. Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights and claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties could require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question or from the continuation of our businesses as currently conducted. We may need to change our business practices if any of these events occur, which may limit our ability to compete effectively and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Even if we believe any such challenges or claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming and costly to defend and divert management’s attention and resources away from our business.

The capacity, reliability, and security of our information technology hardware and software infrastructure are important to the operation of our current business, which would suffer in the event of system failures. Likewise, our ability to expand and update our information technology infrastructure in response to our growth and changing needs is important to the continued implementation of our new service offering initiatives. Our inability to expand or upgrade our technology infrastructure could have adverse consequences, which could includeincluding the delayed provision of services or implementation of new service offerings, and the diversion of development resources. We rely on third parties for various aspects of our hardware and software infrastructure. Third parties may experience errors or disruptions that could adversely impact us and over which we may have limited control. Interruption and/or failure of any of these systems could disrupt our operations and damage our reputation, thus adversely impacting our ability to provide our products and services, retain our current users, and attract new users. In addition, our information technology hardware and software infrastructure may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, or other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, our customer and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our information technology hardware and software infrastructure, or otherwise, could be compromised, which could result in significant losses or reputational damage. We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses.losses, any of which could substantially harm our business and our results of operations.

We are dependent on third parties to, among other things, maintain our servers, provide the bandwidth necessary to transmit content, and utilize the content derived therefrom for the potential generation of revenues.

We depend on third partythird-party service providers, suppliers, and licensors to supply some of the services, hardware, software, and operational support necessary to provide some of our products and services. Some of these third parties do not have a long operating history or may not be able to continue to supply the equipment and services we desire in the future. If demand exceeds these vendors’ capacity, or if these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties or are otherwise unable to provide the equipment or services we need in a timely manner, at our specifications and at reasonable prices, our ability to provide some products and services might be materially adversely affected, or the need to procure or develop alternative sources of the affected materials or services might delay our ability to serve our users. These events could materially and adversely affect our ability to retain and attract users, and have a material negative impact on our operations, business, financial results, and financial condition.

We may not be able to find suitable software developers at an acceptable cost or at all.

We currently rely on certain key suppliers and vendors in the coding and maintenance of our software. We will continue to require such expertise in the future. Due to the current demand for skilled software developers, we run the risk of not being able to find or retain suitable and qualified personnel at an acceptable price, or at all. These risks may be greater now than in the past due to current general labor shortages in the United States. Without these developers, we may not be able to further develop and maintain our software, which is the most important aspect of our business development.

The success of our business is highly correlated to general economic conditions.

Demand for our products and services is highly correlated with general economic conditions, as a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically declines during times of economic instability. Declines in economic conditions in the United States or in other countries in which we operate, including declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and may operate in the future may adversely impact our financial results. Because such declines in demand are difficult to predict, we or our industry may have increased excess capacity as a result. An increase in excess capacity may result in declines in prices for our products and services. Our ability to grow or maintain our business may be adversely affected by changingsustained economic weakness and uncertainty, including the effect of wavering consumer preferencesconfidence, high unemployment, and other factors. The inability to grow or maintain our business would adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our common stock.

Our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our products, weaken our competitive position and reduce our revenue, and infringement claims asserted against us or by failureus, could have a material adverse effect.

We regard the protection of our intellectual property, which includes patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and domain names, as critical to our success. We strive to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with parties with whom we conduct business in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our proprietary information. However, these contractual arrangements and the publicother steps we have taken to acceptprotect our intellectual property may not prevent the misappropriation of our proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others.

We have two patents related to our system for providing access to, storing and distributing content, and we recently filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”), with respect to our interactive video technology. We have one patent related to methods for generating a custom campaign, and one continuation with respect to the same. Our provisional patent application may not result in the issuance of a patent, or certain claims may be rejected or may need to be narrowed, which may limit the protection we are attempting to obtain. In addition, our existing patents and any new product offerings we may pursue.

The production and distribution of entertainment content is an inherently risky business because the revenuefuture patents that may be derived depends primarily onissued to us, may not protect commercially important aspects of our technology. Furthermore, the content’s acceptancevalidity and enforceability of our patents may be opposed, challenged, or circumvented by third parties, including our competitors, which may result in our patents being invalidated or modified by the public,PTO, various legal actions against us, the need to develop or obtain alternative technology, or obtain appropriate licenses under third-party patents, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

We have registered domain names and trademarks in the United States and may pursue additional registrations both in and outside the United States. Effective trade secret, copyright, trademark, domain name and patent protection is difficultexpensive to predict. Consumerdevelop and audience tastes change frequentlymaintain, both in terms of initial and itongoing registration requirements and the costs of defending our rights. Notwithstanding our efforts, third parties may independently develop technology that is a challengenot covered by our patents, or that is similar to, anticipate what offerings will be successful at a certain point in time.or competes with, our technology. In addition, competing entertainment content,our intellectual property may be infringed or misappropriated by third parties, particularly in foreign countries where the availabilitylaws and governmental authorities may not protect our proprietary rights as effectively as those in the United States. We may be required to protect our intellectual property in an increasing number of alternative forms of entertainmentjurisdictions, a process that is expensive and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, piracy and increasing digital and on-demand distribution offerings may also affect the audience for our content. Our expenses may increase as we invest in new programming ideas, and there is no guarantee that the new programming willnot be successful or generate sufficient revenuewhich we may not pursue in every location.

Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. Our efforts to recoupprotect our proprietary rights may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. Further, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. In addition, our competitors may independently develop similar technology. The laws in the expenditures.United States and elsewhere change rapidly, and any future changes could adversely affect us and our intellectual property. Our failure to meaningfully protect our intellectual property could result in competitors offering services that incorporate our most technologically advanced features, which could seriously reduce demand for our products. In addition, we may in the future need to initiate infringement claims or litigation. Litigation, whether we are a plaintiff or a defendant, can be expensive, time-consuming and may divert the efforts of our technical staff and managerial personnel, which could harm our business, whether or not such litigation results in a determination that is unfavorable to us. In addition, litigation is inherently uncertain, and thus we may not be able to stop its competitors from infringing upon our intellectual property rights.

Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services.

13

Our future success depends on our key executive officers and our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.

Our future success largely depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and management team, especially our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of our board of directors, and President, Mr. Rory J. Cutaia. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers. If any of our executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some or all of our customers. Finally, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services of any of these key persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our stock.

Our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel will also be critical to our success because we will need to hire and retain additional personnel as our business grows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. We face significant competition for skilled personnel in our industries. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire, and retain qualified managers and employees. Because of these factors, we may not be able to effectively manage or grow our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition or business. As a result, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

Risks Related to Ownershipan Investment in Our Securities

Raising additional capital, including through future sales and issuances of our Commoncommon stock, warrants or the exercise of rights to purchase common stock pursuant to our equity incentive plan could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders, could cause our share price to fall and Preferred Stockcould restrict our operations.

Our boardWe expect we will need significant additional capital in the future to continue our planned operations, including any potential acquisitions, hiring new personnel and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we seek additional capital through a combination of directors is authorizedpublic and private equity offerings and debt financings, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt and receivables financings may be coupled with an equity component, such as warrants to issue additionalpurchase shares of our common stock, which could also result in dilution of our existing stockholders’ ownership. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. A failure to obtain adequate funds may cause us to curtail certain operational activities, including sales and marketing, in order to reduce costs and sustain the business, and would dilute existing stockholders.have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We are currently authorizedIn addition, we have granted options to issue uppurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to 200,000,000our equity incentive plans and have registered 16,000,000 shares of common stock underlying options and 15,000,000 shares granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. Sales of preferred stock,shares issued upon exercise of options granted under our equity compensation plans may result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, which 95,504,065 sharescould cause our price of our common stock and 300,000 shares of preferred stock are currently issued and outstanding as of March 20, 2017. We expect to seek additional financing in order to provide working capital to our business. fall.

Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares at any price they consider sufficient, without stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock, indilute the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current stockholders.common stockholders and delay or prevent a change of control.

Our board of directors have the authority to cause us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to an additional 14,994,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series. As of March 25, 2022, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.

Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other classes of voting stock either by diluting the voting power of our other classes of voting stock if they vote together as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote even if the action were approved by the holders of our other classes of voting stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, even where stockholders are offered a premium for their shares.

The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, subject to substantial volatility.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including;

9volatility in the trading markets generally and in our particular market segment;
limited trading of our common stock;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections, or our failure to meet those projections;
announcements regarding our business or the business of our customers or competitors;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles;
actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or our offerings, or third-party proprietary rights;
announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
any major change in our board of directors or management;
sales of shares of our common stock by us or by our stockholders;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and
other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or responses to these events.

TradingStatements of, or changes in, opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which we operate or expect to operate could have an adverse effect on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTCQB may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market as a whole, as well as our particular market segment, has from time to time experienced extreme price and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.

If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all of our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products or services and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business.be forced to reduce or discontinue operations. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.reduce or discontinue operations.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless and until they sell them.

We intend to retain a significant portion of any future earnings to finance the development, operation and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment, and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of theour board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as theour board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless weour board of directors determines to pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

10

As a public company, we have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in orderlook to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of theSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.

We cannot assure you that we will, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

The market priceappreciation of our common stock mayto realize a gain on their investment. There can be volatile.no assurance that this appreciation will occur.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate, or sales of our common stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many 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.

Because our directors and executive officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of investors.

Certain of our executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. As of the date of this annual report,We estimate our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates beneficially own over 50%owned approximately 8.5% of our outstanding voting stock.stock as of March 25, 2022. The holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase further in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted, or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

to elect or defeat the election of our directors;
to amend or prevent amendment ofto our certificatearticles of incorporation or by-laws;bylaws;
to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote.

This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

PennyOur common stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholdershas been categorized as “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their stock.shares of common stock due to suitability requirements.

The Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA,Inc. has adopted sales practice requirements that historically may also limithave limited a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our common stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRAthe Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low pricedlow-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low pricedlow-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements makehistorically has made it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which maycould limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.shares, and thereby depress our price per share of common stock.

Trends, RisksThe elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and Uncertaintiesemployees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights for our obligations to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for damages for the breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers to provide such indemnification rights. We may also have soughtcontractual indemnification obligations under any future employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to identify whatcover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we believemay be unable to recoup. These provisions and the resulting costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.

Nevada has a business combination law that prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for three years after an “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “business combination” is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The potential effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if these parties cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors. Both of these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Our bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state and federal courts in the State of Nevada shall be the most significant risksexclusive forum for any litigation relating to our business, but we cannot predict whether,internal affairs, including, without limitation: (a) any derivative action brought on behalf of us, (b) any action asserting a claim for breach of fiduciary duty to us or our stockholders by any current or former officer, director, employee, or agent of us, or (c) any action against us or any current or former officer, director, employee, or agent of us arising pursuant to what extent, any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the articles of incorporation, or the bylaws.

17

For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusive forum provision described above does not apply to any claims arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

The choice of forum provision in our bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such riskslawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The applicable courts may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all oflocated or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such risk factors before making an investment decision withjudgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. With respect to the provision making the state and federal courts in the State of Nevada the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions, stockholders who do bring a claim in the state and federal courts in the State of Nevada could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Nevada. Finally, if a court were to find this provision of our common stock.

The production and distribution of entertainment content is an inherently risky business because the revenue that may be derived depends primarily on the content’s acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. Consumer and audience tastes change frequently and it is a challenge to anticipate what offerings will be successful at a certain point in time. In addition, competing entertainment content, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, piracy and increasing digital and on-demand distribution offerings may also affect the audience for our content. Our expenses may increase as we invest in new programming ideas, and there is no guarantee that the new programming will be successful or generate sufficient revenue to recoup the expenditures.ITEM 1B.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market informationInformation

Our common stock is not tradedtrades on any exchange but is currently available for trading in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and on the OTCBQ operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BBTH.“VERB. Trading in stocks quoted on these markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects.

The SEC also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities listed on certain national exchanges, provided that the current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the applicable exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, before effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing before effecting the transaction, and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for shares of our common stock. As a result of these rules, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares.

Set forth below are the range of high and low bid quotations for the periods indicated as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. The market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Our BusinessTechnology

Our business has changedsuite of applications can be distinguished from one based primarilyother sales enablement applications because our applications utilize our proprietary interactive video technology as the primary means of communication between sales and marketing professionals and their customers and prospects. Moreover, the proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities of our applications inform our users on their devices in real time, when and for how long their prospects have watched a video, how many times such prospects watched it, and what they clicked on, which allows our mall-based bBooth kiosksusers to focus their time and mobile apps, focusedefforts on talent discovery,‘hot leads’ or interested prospects rather than on those that have not seen such video or otherwise expressed interest in such content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using familiar, intuitive ‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation. Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a much more efficient and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending interactive video technology, as well as several other patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the unique foundation for all our platform applications.

Our Products

verbCRM combines the capabilities of CRM lead-generation, content management, and in-video ecommerce capabilities in an intuitive, yet powerful tool for both inexperienced as well as highly skilled sales professionals. verbCRM allows users to quickly and easily create, distribute, and post videos to which they can add a cloud-based, enterprise level, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, named bNotifi. Our bNotifichoice of on-screen clickable icons which, when clicked, allow viewers to respond to the user’s call-to-action in real-time, in the video, while the video is playing, without leaving or stopping the video. For example, our technology allows a prospect or customer to click on a product they see featured in a video and impulse buy it, or to click on a calendar icon in the video to make an appointment with a salesperson, among many other features and functionalities designed to eliminate or reduce friction from the sales process for our users. The verbCRM app is designed to be easy to use and navigate and takes little time and training for a user to begin using the app effectively. It usually takes less than four minutes for a novice user to create an interactive video platform for Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Sales Lead Generation, Marketing Campaigns, and Social Engagement. Our bNotifi platform givesfrom our clients the powerapp. Users can add interactive icons to produce and distribute interactivepre-existing videos, that can be experienced on allas well as to newly created videos shot with practically any mobile and desktop devices, and no download or proprietary player is required. bNotifidevice. verbCRM interactive videos can be displayed on a website, embedded in online ads, or shareddistributed via email, text messaging, chat app, or Twitterposted to popular social media directly and easily from our app. No software download is required to view Verb interactive videos on virtually any mobile or desktop device, including smart TVs.

verbLEARN is an interactive, video-based learning management system that incorporates all of the clickable in-video technology featured in our verbCRM application and adapts them for use by educators for video-based education. verbLEARN is used by enterprises seeking to educate a large sales team or a customer base about new products, or elicit feedback about existing products. It also incorporates Verb’s proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities that inform users in real time when and for how long the viewers watched the video, how many times they watched it, and what they clicked on, in addition to adding gamification features that enhance the learning aspects of the application.

verbLIVE builds on popular video-based platforms such as Facebook Live, Zoom, WebEx, and Go2Meeting, among others, by adding Verb’s proprietary interactive in-video ecommerce capabilities – including an in-video Shopify shopping cart integrated for Shopify account holders - to our own live stream video broadcasting application. verbLIVE is a next-generation live stream platform that allows hosts to utilize a variety of novel sales-driving features, including placing interactive icons on-screen that appear on the screens of all viewers, providing in-video click-to-purchase capabilities for products or services featured in the live video broadcast, in real-time, driving friction-free selling. verbLIVE also provides the host with real-time viewer engagement data and interaction analytics. verbLIVE is entirely browser-based, allowing it to function easily and effectively on all devices without requiring the host or the viewers to download software, and is secured through end-to-end encryption.

It also has a built-in one-click sync capability with Salesforce.

We continue to invest in the future of interactive livestreaming. Following are some of our recent initiatives:

23

MARKET is a centralized online destination where shoppers could explore scores of shoppable livestream events, and over time - thousands, across numerous product and service categories, being hosted by people from all over the world, always on - 24/7 - where shoppers could communicate with the hosts, asking questions about products in real-time - through an on-screen chat visible to all shoppers – that allows shoppers who have invited their friends and family to join them there to share the experience - to communicate directly with each other in real time, and then simply click on a non-intrusive - in-video overlay to place items in an on-screen shopping cart for purchase – all without interrupting the video. Shoppers can visit any number of other shoppable events to meet up and chat with friends, old and new, and together watch, shop and chat with the hosts, discover new products and services, and become part of an immersive entertaining shopping experience. Throughout the experience, the shopping cart follows shoppers seamlessly from event to event, shoppable video to shoppable video, host to host, product to product.

The MARKET business model is a simple but next-level B to B play. It is a multi-vendor platform, with a single follow-me style unified shopping cart, and robust ecommerce capabilities with the tools for consumer brands, big box brick and mortar stores, boutiques, influencers and celebrities to connect with their clients, customers, their fans, followers, and prospects by providing a unique, interactive social shopping experience that we believe could keep them coming back and engaged for hours.

A big differentiator for MARKET is that it also provides an online meeting place for friends and family to meet, chat, shop and enjoy a fun, immersive shopping experience in real time together from anywhere and everywhere in the world. MARKET will provide vendors with extensive business building analytics capabilities not available on, and not shared by many operators of other social media sites who regard that information as valuable proprietary property. All vendors on MARKET will retain this valuable intelligence for their own, unlimited use.

MARKET allows vendors an opportunity to reach not only the shoppers they invite to the site from their own client and contact lists, but also those shoppers who came to the site independently who will discover these vendors as they browse through the many other shoppable events hosted simultaneously on MARKET 24/7, from around the world. We believe our revenue model will be attractive to vendors and will consist of SaaS recurring revenue as well as a share of revenue generated through sales on the platform.

MARKET will also incorporate a modified version of our verbLIVE Attribution technology, allowing vendors who so choose, to leverage extremely powerful, built-in affiliate marketing capabilities. Non-vendor visitors to the site can search for those vendors that have activated the Attribution feature for their events and be compensated when people they referred to that vendor, purchase products or services during that vendor’s shopping event. We expect that this feature, unique to MARKET, will drive many more shoppers who will be referred from all over the world, producing a cross-pollination effect enhancing the revenue opportunities for all MARKET vendors, while also creating an attractive income generating opportunity for non-vendor MARKET patrons.

MARKET is an entirely new platform, built wholly independently and separate from our verbLIVE sales platform, representing what we believe is the state of the art of shoppable video technology. It will utilize an ultra-low latency private global CDN network that we control, allowing us to deliver a high-quality experience and platform performance capabilities. We also believe that MARKET will expose vendors to our entire suite of sales enablement products, such as verbMAIL, among others, that could drive new cross selling revenue opportunities.

verbTV is an online destination for shoppable entertainment. Whereas MARKET is a social shopping experience, verbTV is a destination for those seeking commercial-free television content, such as concerts, game shows, sports, including e-sports, sitcoms, podcasts, special events, news, including live events, and other social media. bNotififorms of video entertainment that is all interactive and shoppable. verbTV represents an entirely new distribution channel for all forms of content by a new generation of content creators looking for greater freedom to explore the creative possibilities that a native interactive video platform can provide for their audience. We believe content creators may also enjoy greater revenue opportunities through the native ecommerce capabilities the platform provides to sponsors and advertisers who will enjoy real-time monetization, data collection and analytics. Through verbTV, sponsors and advertisers will be able to accurately measure the ROI from their marketing spend, instead of relying on decades-old, imprecise viewership information.

24

At launch, verbTV will feature the popular business pitch show “2 Minute Drill” currently shown on Amazon Prime and Bloomberg TV. However, verbTV will host a shoppable version of the 12 episodes of the upcoming Season 3. Each episode is a fast-paced reality show where 5-6 entrepreneurs competing for $50,000 in cash and prizes, have 2 minutes to impress the judges with the best investor pitch. Our CEO is one of the judges on the show. Expected to air in early 2022, verbTV viewers will be able to click on-screen and purchase the products and services of the contestants featured on the show, among other contemplated interactive features. Dave Meltzer, the creator of the show, and Co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing and the former CEO of the renowned Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency, has signed-on with Verb to produce other interactive and shoppable entertainment for verbTV. Other such partnerships, as well as a creator program, are currently in progress.

Verb Partnerships and Integrations

verbMAIL for Microsoft Outlook is a product of our partnership with Microsoft and is available as an add-in to Microsoft Outlook for Outlook and Office 365 subscribers. verbMAIL allows users to create interactive videos seamlessly within Outlook by clicking the verbMAIL icon in the Outlook toolbar. The videos are automatically added to an email and can be white-labeledsent easily through Outlook using the user’s contacts they already have in Outlook. The application allows users to easily track viewer engagement and together with other features represents an effective sales tool available for sales-based organizations, consumer brands,all Outlook users worldwide. Currently offered without charge, a subscription-based paid version with a suite of enhanced features for sales and artists seeking greater levelsmarketing professionals is slated for release later this year.

Salesforce Integration. We have completed and deployed the integration of customer, consumer,verbLIVE into Salesforce and fan engagement. Our CRM product, built aroundhave launched a joint marketing campaign with Salesforce to introduce the verbLIVE plug-in functionality to current Salesforce users. We have also developed a verbCRM sync application for Salesforce users that is currently being utilized by at least one of our proprietary ‘Video-First’ bNotifi technology, places interactive video frontlarge enterprise clients and center inthe verbLIVE plug-in is now being offered to all customer and prospect communications. bNotifi can accommodateSalesforce users on a singlemonthly subscription fee basis while we work to build adoption rates.

Popular Enterprise Back-Office System Integrations. We have integrated verbCRM into systems offered by 19 of the most popular direct sales representative, yetback-office system providers, such as Direct Scale, Exigo, By Design, Thatcher, Multisoft, Xennsoft, and Party Plan. Direct sales back-office systems provide many of the support functions required for direct sales operations, including payroll, customer genealogy management, statistics, rankings, and earnings, among other direct sales financial tracking capabilities. The integration into these back-office providers, facilitated through our own API development, allows single sign-on convenience for users, as well as enhanced data analytics and reporting capabilities for all users. Our experience confirms that our integration into these back-end platforms accelerates the adoption of verbCRM by large direct sales enterprises that rely on these systems and as such, we believe this represents a competitive advantage.

Non-Digital Products and Services

Historically, we provided certain non-digital services to some of our enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services. We designed and printed welcome kits and starter kits for their marketing needs and provided fulfillment services, which consisted of managing the preparation, handling and shipping of our client’s custom-branded merchandise they use for marketing purposes at conferences and other events. We also managed the fulfillment of our clients’ product sample packs that verbCRM users order through the app for automated delivery and tracking to their customers and prospects.

In May 2020, we executed a contract with Range Printing (“Range”), a company in the business of providing enterprise class printing, sample assembly, warehousing, packaging, shipping, and fulfillment services. Pursuant to the contract, through an automated process we have established for this purpose, Range receives orders for samples and merchandise from us as and when we receive them from our clients and users, and print, assemble, store, package and ship such samples and merchandise on our behalf. The Range contract provides for a service fee arrangement based upon the specific services to be provided by Range that is enterprise-class scalabledesigned to meetmaintain our relationship with our clients by continuing to service their non-digital needs, while eliminating the needslabor and overhead costs associated with the provision of today’s global organizations.such services by us.

Our Market

Historically, our client base consisted primarily of multi-national direct sales enterprises to whom we provide white-labeled, client-branded versions of our products. During the year ended December 31, 2021, our client base expanded to include large enterprises in the life sciences sector, professional sports franchises, educational institutions, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as clients in the entertainment industry, and the burgeoning CBD industry, among other business sectors. As of December 31, 2021, we provided subscription-based application services to approximately 150 enterprise clients for use in over 100 countries, in over 48 languages, which collectively account for a user base generated through more than 3.1 million downloads of our verbCRM application. Among the new business sectors targeted for this year are medical equipment and pharmaceutical sales, armed services and government institutions, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.

Revenue Generation

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

1.Digital Revenue which is divided into two main categories:

a.SaaS recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to our verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM, verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbPULSE, and verbTeams. The revenue is recognized over the subscription period.
b.Non-SaaS, non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the use of our app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are recognized when the service has been rendered and the app is delivered to the customer.

2.Non-digital revenue, which is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation to our clients and customers. These services, which we now outsource to a strategic partner as part of a cost reduction plan we instituted in 2020, include design, printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to customers.

Recent Developments

SoloFire Acquisition

In September 2020 we completed the acquisition of Ascend Certification, LLC, dba SoloFire (“SoloFire”), which develops and markets leading SaaS-based sales enablement applications for sales representatives of medical device, diagnostics and life sciences companies. SoloFire’s platform empowers sales and marketing teams by allowing them to efficiently find, show, share and track regulatory and industry compliant, accurate and up-to-date content.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business and Industry

Governments and businesses around the world continue to take actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Despite increased vaccine distribution programs and loosening of COVID-19-related restrictions in the regions in which we operate during the year ended December 31, 2021, both the pandemic and ongoing containment and mitigation measures have had, and are likely to continue to have, an adverse impact on the global and U.S. economies, the severity and duration of which are uncertain. As such, our business, operations and financial condition has been, and we anticipate will continue to be, adversely impacted by reduced demand for our applications and non-digital services, as well as reduced access to capital. To mitigate the adverse impact COVID-19 may have on our business and operations, we implemented a number of measures to strengthen our financial position, including eliminating, reducing, or deferring non-essential expenditures. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, financial conditions, and results of operations in the future remains uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the emergence of variants to COVID-19 the duration and extent of imposed or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the extent, duration, and effective execution of government stabilization and recovery efforts, including those from the successful distribution of effective vaccines.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have long-term effects on the nature of the office environment and remote working. This may present operational and workplace culture challenges that may adversely affect our business. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2021 and through the filing of this Annual Report, we have encouraged safe practices designed to stem the infection and spread of COVID-19 within our workforce and beyond and to maintain the mental health and well-being of our employees.

 

We intendbegan the year ended December 31, 2021 with healthy demand for our products, including our SaaS products, many of which are designed to generate revenue fromenable our customers to manage their businesses virtually. Our non-digital business was negatively impacted in the following sources:year ended December 31, 2021 as events and sales opportunities were cancelled or shifted to a virtual environment due to the pandemic. Although the impact has not been material to date, a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our customers and demand for our services.

 

We continue to actively communicate with and listen to our customers to ensure we are responding to their needs in the current environment with innovative solutions that will not only be beneficial now but also over the long-term. We monitor developments related to COVID-19 and remain flexible in our response to the challenges presented by the pandemic.

Revenues

SaaS recurring subscription revenue as a percentage of total digital revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 84%, compared with 79% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our SaaS recurring subscription revenues continue to grow year over year, which is a reflection of our systematic investment in our digital business.

We did not have anyexecuted 55 new client contracts during the year ended December 31, 2021 with a guaranteed base value of $3.3 million. We expect to generate annual recurring revenue of approximately $1.5 million from these engagements, which is in 2016addition to revenue that we anticipate recognizing from new and 2015.existing clients launching verbLIVE with Attribution, Pulse, and Learn, as well as revenue we expect from MARKET, verbTV, verbMAIL, and other as yet unannounced initiatives.

Total non-digital revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2.3 million, compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which, is consistent with our strategy to focus on higher margin digital revenue versus our lower margin design, printing, fulfillment, and shipping legacy business.

The table below sets forth our quarterly revenues from the quarter ended December 31, 2019 through the quarter ended December 31, 2021, which reflects the trend of revenue over the past nine fiscal quarters:

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $4.5 million, compared to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in cost of revenue is primarily attributed to a decrease in non-digital costs offset by increased digital costs to support additional enterprise customers on the platform, increased users within our existing customer base, and free trials associated with verbLIVE and verbMAIL.

Gross Margin

Total gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $6.0 million, compared to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Gross margin increased to 57% for the year ended December 31, 2021 versus 52% in 2020. We continue to earn higher margins due to a systematic focus on our SaaS and digital business, which has a higher margin than our non-digital business.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses arewere $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Research and development expenses primarily expensesconsisted of fees paid to employees and vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology. In 2016The increase in research and development initiatives supportedis attributed to the development of verbLIVE, our bNotifi cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, while 2015 researchattribution feature, PULSE, enhancements to verbCRM, our verbMail integration with Microsoft Outlook, and development supported our boothsnew MARKET platform.

Depreciation and mobile app. Overall our Research and developmentamortization expenses remained consistent in 2016were $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to 2015.$1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is due to a full year of amortization of SoloFire intangible assets as compared to only four months in 2020.

General and administrative expenses for 2016 decreased by $2,301,330 as compared to 2015. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the Company moving to our bNotifi cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that resulted in $956,902 labor related savings and lower operating expenses of $522,513. Additional savings are attributed to amortization expense of $331,008 relating to the acquisition of the Songstagram assets in January 2015 and lower share-based compensation expense of $322,046.

Due to the change in business models we performed an impairment analysis in December 2015 on our long-lived assets, consisting of our intangible assets and property and equipment, and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the assets. Accordingly, we concluded that our intangible assets and our booth-related equipment were impaired. As a result, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1,387,100 as of December 31, 2015.

Other expense, net, for 2016 amounted to $1,195,149, which represented interest expense of $332,692 on outstanding notes payable during this timeframe and $398,594 as interest expense for amortization of debt discount. We also incurred a loss from debt extinguishment in the amount of $455,975 in 2016. The amount of other expense, net, was lower in 2015 as we did not have loss from debt extinguishment and significant amount of borrowings through notes payable occurred in the end of 2015, which resulted in a partial period of interest expense for 2015.

Other income

We earned $52,898 for fiscal 2016 compared to $0 for fiscal 2015. During 2016 income was derived from the rental of our interactive booths.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures - Modified EBITDA

In addition to our results under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we present Modified EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Modified EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define Modified EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, financing costs and changes in fair value of derivative liability.

Management considers our core operating performance to be that which our managers can affect in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations that period. Non-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Modified EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our cash usedpresentation of Modified EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Going Concern

We have incurred operating losses since inception and have negative cash flows from operations.operations since inception. We hadincurred a stockholders’ deficitnet loss of $3,468,223 as of$34,486,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2021. We also utilized cash in operations of $25,862,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing until we can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations. We intend to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue our operations. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, we entered into the following financing agreements:

Equity financing:

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000,000 of newly issued shares (the “Total Commitment”) of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of common stock, valued at $750,000 at the time of issuance (the “Commitment Shares”), issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the common stock purchase agreement.

The common stock purchase agreement initially precludes us from issuing and selling more than 14,747,065 shares of its common stock, including the Commitment Shares, which number of shares equals 19.99% of the common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares, or unless certain exceptions apply.

Debt financing:

On January 12, 2022, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement with three institutional investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300,000 in convertible notes due 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “Note Offering”). We and the Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the Note Offering, pursuant to which we granted a security interest to the Note Holders in substantially all of its assets.

We received $6,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes. The Note Offering closed on January 12, 2022. The Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum, have an original issue discount of 5.0%, mature 12 months from the closing date, and have an initial conversion price of $3.00, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Notes.

Beginning on May 12, 2022, we are required to make nine monthly principal payments of $333,333, plus accrued interest, to the Note Holders, with the remaining principal amount of $3,300,000, plus accrued interest, due on the maturity date.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we may not continue to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. Thetwelve months. Our continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until our Company beginswe begin generating positive cash flow. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us.us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed acceptable to us, if at all. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business, as planned, and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the results of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash of $937,000. We estimate our operating expenses for the next twelve months may continue to exceed any revenue we generate, and we may need to raise capital through either debt or equity offerings to continue operations. Due to market conditions and the early stage of our operations, there is considerable risk that we will not be able to raise such financings at all, or on terms that are not dilutive to our existing stockholders. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all of our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and we may be forced to reduce or discontinue operations.

On February 5, 2020, we initiated our private placement, which is for the sale and issuance of up to five million shares of our common stock at a per-share price of $1.20, which amount represents a 20% discount to the $1.50 closing price of our common stock on that day, and is memorialized by a subscription agreement.

On March 31, 2020 we closed our private placement. In total we issued 4,237,833 shares of common stock and netted $4.4 million after fees and expenses.

On April 17, 2020, we received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $1,218,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. Subsequent to December 31, 2020 the entire note and accrued interest was forgiven.

On July 24, 2020, we concluded our public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239055) and issued and sold 12,545,453 shares of common stock (which included 1,636,363 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of an overallotment option). The net proceeds to us, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and direct offering expenses was $12,337,000.

On March 15, 2021 we completed a registered direct offering with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 9,375,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.60 per share. Net proceeds were approximately $14,129,000.

In August 2021 and November 2021, we entered into two separate at-the-market issuance sales agreements (the “August 2021 ATM” and the “November 2021 ATM”, respectively) with Truist Securities, Inc., pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252167). The August 2021 ATM was terminated in October 2021. In January 2022, the aggregate offering price of the shares of our common stock that may be sold under the November 2021 ATM was reduced from $30,000,000 to $7,300,000. The August 2021 and November 2021 ATM offerings are a follow-on offering of securities utilized by us in order to raise capital over a period of time. In an ATM offering, we sell newly issued shares into the trading market through our designated sales agent at prevailing market prices. Net proceeds were approximately $7,937,000.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,GAAP, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. On an ongoing basis,

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions made for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, assumptions made in valuing assets acquired in business combinations, impairment testing of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions used in valuing share-based compensation, and accruals for potential liabilities. Amounts could materially change in the future.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of customized print products and training materials, branded apparel, and digital tools, as demanded by its customers. 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

1.Digital Revenue, which is divided into two main categories:

a.SaaS recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to our verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM, verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, and verbPULSE. The revenue is recognized straight-line over the subscription period.
b.Non-SaaS, non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the use of our app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are recognized when the service has been rendered and the app is delivered to the customer.

2.Non-digital revenue, which is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation to our clients and customers. These services, which we now outsource to a strategic partner as part of a cost reduction plan we instituted in 2020, includes design, printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to the customer.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its estimates,financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including those relatedwhether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

We use Level 2 inputs for our valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a Binomial pricing model. Our derivative liabilities are adjusted to valuationreflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and is recognized as expense over the service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for services.

36

Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Our impairment testing is performed annually at December 31 (our fiscal year end). Impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets is determined by comparing the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities.

Intangible Assets

We have certain intangible assets that were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer contracts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of domain names. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years.

We review all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess carrying value over the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Based on the results of our evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based compensation arrangementsin part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and long-lived assets.there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

As further discussed in the Company’s Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 24, 2022, Mr. Salman H. Khan was appointed as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer. On March 30, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved Mr. Khan’s appointment as the Company’s permanent Chief Financial Officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors

Verb Technology Company, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 recurring operating losses and used cash in operations since inception. These estimatesmatters raise 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 to the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 historical experienceour 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment

As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $19,764,000 as of December 31, 2021. Management conducts its goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis as of December 31 or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. If the carrying amount of the Company, as a sole reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess up to that amount of the recorded goodwill. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test performed for its reporting unit, management determined that its goodwill is not impaired. Management primarily uses discounted cash flow methods to estimate the fair value, which require the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including future revenues, projected margins and capital spending, terminal growth rates, and discount rates.

We identified the evaluation of goodwill impairment assessment as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value of the reporting unit. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased auditor effort in auditing such assumptions.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: (i) obtained an understanding of management’s process for developing the fair value of the reporting unit, (ii) evaluated the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow models utilized, (iii) tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the models, (iv) performed an independent market corroboration calculation, and (iv) evaluated the significant assumptions used by management related to its projections of future revenues, projected margins and capital spending, terminal growth rates, and discount rates used in discounted cash flow models. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to future revenues and projected margins and capital spending involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering the current and past performance of the reporting unit, third-party industry data, and whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

VERB TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our Business

References in this document to the “Company,” “Verb,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are intended to mean Verb Technology Company, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Verb conducts its operations through various subsidiaries.

On April 12, 2019, the Company acquired Sound Concepts Inc. (“Sound Concepts”). The acquisition was intended to augment and diversify Verb’s internet and Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) business. Sound Concepts is now known as Verb Direct, LLC.

On September 4, 2020, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC (“Verb Acquisition”), a subsidiary of the Company, acquired Ascend Certification, LLC, dba SoloFire (“SoloFire”). The acquisition was intended to augment and diversify Verb’s internet and SaaS business (see Note 3).

On October 18, 2021, the Company established verbMarketplace, LLC (“Market LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Market LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company established for our MARKET platform.

We are a SaaS applications platform developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of interactive video-based sales enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our applications, available in both mobile and desktop versions, are offered as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM, our Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) application, verbLEARN, our Learning Management System application, verbLIVE, our Live Stream eCommerce application, verbPULSE, our business/augmented intelligence notification and sales coach application, and verbTEAMS, our self-onboarding video-based CRM and content management application for professional sports teams, small business, and solopreneurs, with seamless synchronization with Salesforce, that also comes bundled with verbLIVE, and more recently, we introduced verbMAIL, our interactive video-based sales communication tool integrated into Microsoft Outlook.

We provide certain non-digital services to some of our enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services. We design and print welcome kits and starter kits for their marketing needs and provide fulfillment services, which consist of managing the preparation, handling and shipping of our client’s custom-branded merchandise they use for marketing purposes at conferences and other events, and product sample packs that verbCRM users order through the app for automated delivery and tracking to their customers and prospects. We use the term “client” and “customer” interchangeably.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $34,486,000 and used cash in operations of $25,862,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company entered into the following financing agreements (see Note 22):

Equity financing:

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000,000 of newly issued shares (the “Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock, valued at $750,000 at the time of issuance (the “Commitment Shares”), issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

F-7

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement initially precludes the Company from issuing and selling more than 14,747,065 shares of its Common Stock, including the Commitment Shares, which number of shares equals 19.99% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement, unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue additional shares, or unless certain exceptions apply.

Debt financing:

On January 12, 2022, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with three institutional investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300,000 in convertible notes due 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “Note Offering”). The Company and the Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to the Note Holders in substantially all of its assets.

The Company received $6,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes. The Note Offering closed on January 12, 2022. The Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum, have an original issue discount of 5.0%, mature 12 months from the closing date, and have an initial conversion price of $3.00, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Notes.

Beginning on May 12, 2022, the Company is required to make nine monthly principal payments of $333,333, plus accrued interest, to the Note Holders, with the remaining principal amount of $3,300,000, plus accrued interest, due on the maturity date.

There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed acceptable to us, if at all. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on various other factorsterms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business, as planned, and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the results of which would be that it believesour stockholders would lose some or all of their investment. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

As of the date of this filing, there continues to be reasonable underwidespread concern regarding the circumstances. Actualongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the regions in which the Company operates. Our sales team reported a higher level of interest in our digital products and services during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. However, our non-digital services have been negatively impacted during the year ended December 31, 2021. Although the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been material to date, a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our customers and demand for our services. The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results could differ from those estimates.of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

F-8

As of December 31, 2021, we continue to actively communicate with and listen to our customers to ensure we are responding to their needs in the current environment with innovative solutions that will not only be beneficial now but also over the long-term. We monitor developments related to COVID-19 and remain flexible in our response to the challenges presented by the pandemic. To mitigate the adverse impact COVID-19 may have on our business and operations, we implemented a number of measures in the year ended December 31, 2021 to protect the health and safety of our employees, as well as to strengthen our financial position. These efforts include eliminating, reducing, or deferring non-essential expenditures, as well as complying with local and state government recommendations to protect our workforce.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Direct, LLC, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, and verbMarketplace, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions made for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, assumptions made in valuing assets acquired in business combinations, impairment testing of goodwill and long-lived assets, the value of share based payments.valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions used in valuing share-based compensation, and accruals for potential liabilities. Amounts could materially change in the future.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of customized print products and training materials, branded apparel, and digital tools, as demanded by its customers. The subscription revenue from the application services is recognized over the life of the estimated subscription period. The Company also charges certain customers setup or installation fees for the creation and development of websites and phone application. These fees are accounted for as part of contract liabilities and amortized over the estimated life of the agreement. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected as part of revenue, and the related costs are reflected in cost of revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Pursuant to ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products or services to our customers based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer.

The products sold by us are distinctly individual. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Other than promotional activities, which can vary from time to time but nevertheless are entirely within the Company’s control, contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

F-9

The control of products we sell transfers to our customers upon shipment from our facilities, and our performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and, therefore, represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised goods to the customer. Payment for sales is generally made by check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically, we have not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.

We allow returns within 30 days of purchase from end-users. Our customers may return purchased products to us under certain circumstances. Returns from customers in the past and during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are immaterial.

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

1.Digital Revenue, which is divided into two main categories:

a.SaaS recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to our verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM, verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, and verbPULSE. The revenue is recognized straight-line over the subscription period.
b.Non-SaaS, non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the use of our app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are recognized when the service has been rendered and the app is delivered to the customer.

2.Non-digital revenue, which is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation to our clients and customers. These services, which we now outsource to a strategic partner as part of a cost reduction plan we instituted in 2020, includes design, printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to the customer.

Revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were substantially all generated from the United States.

Cost of revenue primarily consists of the salaries of certain employees and contractors, digital content costs, purchase price of consumer products, packaging supplies, and customer shipping and handling expenses. Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of revenue upon sale of products to our customers.

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company considers certain internal sales commissions as incremental costs of obtaining the contract with customers. Internal sales commissions for subscription offerings where the Company expect the benefit of those costs to continue throughout the subscription are capitalized and amortized ratably over the period of benefit, which generally ranges over a period of one year. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract are not significant and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities represent consideration received from customers under revenue contracts for which the Company has not yet delivered or completed its performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized over the contract period.

F-10

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and is non-interest bearing. We estimate losses on receivables based on expected losses, including our historical experience of actual losses. Receivables are considered impaired and written-off when it is probable that all contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $615,000 and $361,000, respectively.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal and external costs directly associated with developing internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license, during the application development stage of its projects. The Company’s internal-use software is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation begins once the project has been completed and is ready for its intended use. The Company will depreciate the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of three years, which is the estimated useful life. Software maintenance activities or minor upgrades are expensed in the period performed. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company capitalized $4,348,000 and $0, respectively, in software development costs and recorded as capitalized software development costs in our consolidated balance sheets (see Note 4).

Depreciation expense related to capitalized software development costs are recorded in Cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. There has been no depreciation expense related to capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 as the software has not been completed and utilized.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining period of the applicable lease term.

Business Combinations

Pursuant to FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and separately identified 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 technology, trademarks and trade names, 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 the period needed to gather all information necessary to make the purchase price allocation, not to exceed 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.

Intangible Assets

We have certain intangible assets that were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer contracts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of domain names. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years.

We review all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess carrying value over the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 there was 0 impairment of intangible assets.

Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s impairment testing is performed annually at December 31 (its fiscal year end). Impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets is determined by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) determined that there is only one reporting unit or segment. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, management determined there were 0 indications of impairment.

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made this analysis and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the Company’s intangible assets or its booth-related equipment. Accordingly, the Company concluded that impairment of these assets was appropriate and recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1,387,100 for the year ended December 31, 2015. NoNaN impairment of long-lived assets was required for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Share Based Payment

The Company issues stock options, common stock, and equity interests as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.

The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options issued during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

  Year Ended  Year Ended 
  December 31, 2016  December 31, 2015 
       
Expected life in years  2.5 to 5.0   2.5 to 5.0 
Stock price volatility  87.19% - 153. 07%  84.36% - 98.54%
Risk free interest rate  1.22% - 1.24%  1.07% - 1.72%
Expected dividends  NA   NA 
Forfeiture rate  20%  32%

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining term of the notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

(a)March 21, 2015 – The Company entered into an agreement with DelMorgan Group LLC (“DelMorgan”), pursuant to which DelMorgan agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor.

The note payable is due on the earlier of March 20, 2017, or upon completion of a private placement transaction, as defined in the agreement. As a result, the $125,000 note payable has been classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The parties have reached agreement to extend the note payable to March 20, 2018.
(b)On December 15, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a buyer, whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Company, (i) a non-interest bearing Note in the original principal amount of $250,000, (ii) Warrants, and (iii) shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to 30% of the purchase price of the respective tranche divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of funding of the respective tranche (collectively, the “Inducement Shares”). The “Maturity Date” shall be six months from the date of each payment of Consideration. A one-time interest charge of five percent (5%) (“Interest Rate”) is to be applied on the Issuance Date to the original principal amount.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

bBooth, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of bBooth, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related statement of consolidated operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no recurring source of revenue and has operated at a cash flow deficiency since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

Cutaia Media Group, LLC (“CMG”) was a limited liability company formed on December 12, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On May 19, 2014, bBooth, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. On May 19, 2014, CMG was merged into bBooth, Inc. pursuant to a Plan of Merger unanimously approved by the members of CMG. On October 17, 2014, bBooth, Inc. changed the name of its operating company to bBooth (USA), Inc. (“bBooth”). The operations of CMG and bBooth are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

On October 16, 2014, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement with Global System Designs, Inc. (“GSD”). The Share Exchange Agreement has been treated as a reverse merger transaction, with the Company as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements for periods ended prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement are those of bBooth.

In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, GSD changed its name to bBooth, Inc.

Nature of Business

The Company develops and licenses cloud-based SaaS CRM, sales lead generation, and social engagement software on mobile and desktop platforms for sales-based organizations, consumer brands, and artists seeking greater levels of customer, consumer, and fan engagement. The Company’s software platform is enterprise scalable and incorporates unique, proprietary, push-to-screen, interactive audio/video messaging and communications technology.

The Company was previously engaged in the manufacture and operation of Internet connected, broadcast-quality portable recording studio kiosks, branded and marketed as “bBooth,” which were integrated into a social media, messaging, gaming, music streaming and video sharing app. The bBooth kiosks were deployed in shopping malls and other high-traffic venues in the United States.

The Company’s business has evolved from one based primarily on our mall-based bBooth kiosks and mobile apps, narrowly focused on talent discovery, to a cloud-based, enterprise level SaaS platform, branded and marketed as bNotifi, developed to address a much larger target market that includes corporate users, consumer brands, and media companies, among others. Our bNotifi technology represents a new innovative platform for CRM, lead-generation, advertising, fan engagement, and consumer brand activation. Through fully integrated mobile, desktop, and web based applications, our bNotifi technology provides push-to-screen, media-rich, interactive audio/video messaging and communications for higher levels of social engagement and interactive online training and teaching applications, as well as an enterprise scale lead generation and customer retention platform for sales professionals and others. Our bNotifi platform also includes a robust back-end administration console with data collection capabilities, among other features, designed to provide small, medium and large-scale enterprise users, among others, with the ability to send, receive and manage enhanced, media-rich, highly-engaging interactive video messaging for both internal and external communications.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of bBooth, Inc. and Songstagram, Inc. (“Songstagram”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,274,105, used cash in operations of $1,604,013 and had a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,468,223 as of that date. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $16,762. The Company raised an additional $300,000 in February 2017. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through April 2017. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities lease term at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include the value of share based payments. Amounts could materially change in the future.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciatedcommencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assetslease term and is recordedincluded in the periodgeneral and administrative line in which the determination is made. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made this analysis and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the Company’s intangible assets or its booth-related equipment. Accordingly, the Company concluded that impairmentconsolidated statements of these assets was appropriate and recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1,387,100 for the year ended December 31, 2015. No impairment of long-lived assets was required for the year ended December 31, 2016.operations.

30

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)FASB ASC 740, “IncomeIncome Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 20162021, and 2015,2020, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 (“ASC 820”) and FASB ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

Share Based Payment

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1:Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2:Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3:Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a Binomial pricing model. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjusted to fair value of derivatives.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and equity interestsrestricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “CompensationCompensation – Stock Compensation.” Stock-basedCompensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisionsfair value of FASB ASC 505-50Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employeesrestricted stock units is determined based on the fair valuenumber of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimatedshares granted and the percentagequoted price of completionour common stock and is applied to that estimate to determinerecognized as expense over the cumulativeservice period. Recognition of compensation expense recorded.

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees this is the date of performance completion.

The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options issued during the years ended December 31, 2016same period and 2015 aremanner as follows:

  Year Ended  Year Ended 
  December 31,
2016

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining term of the notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact thatif the Company has not customarilyhad paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.cash for services.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist of expenditures forincluded payroll and contractor costs involved in the research and development of new and existing products and technology. These costs are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology forrepresent the Company’s bNotifi cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)Verb interactive video CRM SaaS platform. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common sharesstock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common sharesstock consist of incremental shares of common sharesstock issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential shares of common sharesstock were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 20162021, and 2015,2020, the Company had total outstanding options of 5,404,223 and 6,031,775, respectively, and warrants of 28,986,217 10,984,740 and 18,624,129,13,351,251, respectively, whichand outstanding restricted stock awards of 1,821,833 and 2,185,946, respectively, and common shares potentially issuable from our Class B Units that were issued in August 2020 of 0 and 2,642,159, respectively, were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

 

Fair ValueFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of Financial Instrumentscredit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with a limited number of financial institutions. The balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250,000.

The Company extends limited credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits. The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the Company’s evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers.

 

The Company’s concentration of credit risk includes its concentrations from key customers and vendors. The details of these significant customers and vendors are presented in the following table for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial instruments include cash, notes receivableassets, including accounts and notes payable.receivables. The principal balance of the notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value because of the current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contractsstandard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard thatan “expected loss” model, under which companies will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenueallowances based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costsexpected rather than incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein.losses. Entities will be able to transition toapply the standard either retrospectively orstandard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the datebeginning of adoption. The Companythe first reporting period in which the guidance is ineffective. As a small business filer, the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target couldstandard will be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheetus for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption2022. Management is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluatingcurrently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-02adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial statements, but currently does not believe ASU 2020-06 will have a significant impact on the Company’s accounting for its convertible debt instruments. The effect will largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of adoption.

F-14

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 will require companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates thatadopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption impact of the new standard will add significantdepend on the magnitude of future acquisitions. The standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the balance sheet.adoption date.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITION OF SOLOFIRE

The Company made the following acquisition in order to augment and diversify its internet and SaaS business:

On September 4, 2020, Verb Acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with SoloFire, the sellers party thereto (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Steve Deverall, solely in his capacity as the seller representative, under which Sellers sold their entire interest in SoloFire, representing all of the outstanding limited liability company membership interests of SoloFire, to Verb Acquisition for an adjusted purchase price of $4,950,000. As a result, Verb Acquisition issued to the Sellers an amended promissory note of $1,885,000 and 2,642,159 Class B Units of Verb Acquisition which were exchangeable for 2,642,159 shares of Verb’s common stock with an estimated fair value of $3,065,000 (see Note 19) for a total purchase price of $4,950,000. The promissory note was unsecured, bore interest at a rate of 0.14% per annum and was paid in full at maturity on October 1, 2020.

7.OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases warehouse, corporate office space, and equipment under certain operating lease agreements. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease assets are presented as operating lease right-of-use assets and the related liabilities are presented as operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets pursuant to ASC 842, Leases.

Operating ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

(A)On December 1, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note payable to Mr. Rory J. Cutaia, the Company’s majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer, to consolidate all loans and advances made by Mr. Cutaia to the Company as of that date. The note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, secured by the Company’s assets, and matured on February 8, 2021, as amended. A total of 30% of the original note balance or $375,000 was convertible to common stock and was converted in 2018 while the remaining note balance of $825,000 was not convertible. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made payments of $100,000. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the note amounted to $725,000.
In February 2021, Mr. Cutaia and the Company amended the note payable and extended the maturity date from February 8, 2021 to February 8, 2023 or an extension of two years. In exchange for the extension, the Company issued Mr. Cutaia warrants to purchase 138,889 shares of common stock with a fair value of $287,000. The warrants are fully vested, exercisable at $2.61 per share and will expire in three years. There were no other changes to the original terms of the note payable. As the fair value of the warrants granted amounted to $287,000 or approximately 40% of the outstanding note payable, pursuant to ASC 470, the Company accounted for the modification as an extinguishment of debt which required the measurement of the modified debt and additional consideration to be at fair value. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $287,000 and a corresponding credit to contributed capital. On May 19, 2021 the Board approved the ability to convert the note payable into equity of the Company at the discretion of the holder.

3513.CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK and WARRANT OFFERING

On August 14, 2019, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with the Preferred Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Preferred Purchasers up to an aggregate of 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which, at the initial conversion price, were convertible into an aggregate of up to approximately 3.87 million shares of common stock) and warrants (“Series A” warrants) to purchase 3.2 million shares of common stock. The Company closed the offering on August 14, 2019 and issued 5,030 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and granted Series A warrants to purchase up to 3,245,162 shares of common stock. We received proceeds of $4,688,000, net of direct costs of $342,000. The offering was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

On September 17, 2019, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series A warrants. The registration statement was declared effective on September 19, 2019 and we agreed to keep such registration statement continuously effective for a period of 24 months.

We are also prevented from issuing shares of common stock upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, which, when aggregated with any shares of common stock issued on or after the issuance date and prior to such exercise date, (i) in connection with the exercise of any Series A Warrants issued pursuant to the SPA, and (ii) in connection with the exercise of any warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with the issuance of the securities pursuant to the SPA, would exceed 4,459,725 shares of common stock (the “19.99% Cap”). This prohibition will terminate upon the approval by our stockholders of a release from such 19.99% Cap.

The Series A Warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.88 per share, subject to customary adjustments, are exercisable six months after the date of issuance, and will expire five yearsfrom the date of issuance. The exercise price is subject to certain customary adjustments, including upon certain subsequent equity sales and rights offerings. In addition, the Series A Warrants included a fundamental transaction provision that could give rise to an obligation to pay cash to the warrant holder. As a result, the Series A Warrants were accounted for as a derivative liability issuance in 2019 and are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period (see Note 14).

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the entire 2,006 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 1,978,728 shares of Common Stock, which included 155,087 shares of common stock issued as a contractual inducement to convert with a fair value of $348,000. Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the Company recorded the fair value of $348,000 as a deemed dividend. As of December 31, 2021, there are 0 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued and outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 2,390 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 1,768,909 shares of common stock, pursuant to the original terms of the SPA, as amended. As of December 31, 2020, 2,006 shares Series A Preferred stock were outstanding.

14.DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Under authoritative guidance used by the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, instruments that do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. In prior years, the Company granted certain warrants that included fundamental transaction provisions that could give rise to an obligation to pay cash to the warrant holder. As a result, the fundamental transaction clause of these warrants is accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815 and are being re-measured every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

The derivative liabilities were valued using a Binomial pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected life of the warrants was based on the remaining contractual term of the instruments. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock.

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses carry forwardsloss carry-forwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward period. Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a 100%100% valuation allowance against the asset amounts.

Any uncertain tax positions would be related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The Company has no liabilities related to uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as offor the year endyears ended December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Company has not accrued for interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax liabilities.2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2016,2021 and 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $79.2 million and $48.0 million, respectively, and state net operating loss carry forwardscarry-forwards of approximately $8.2 $76.9 million and $45.7 million, respectively, which may be available to offset future taxable income for tax purposes. These net operating loss carry forwardscarry-forwards begin to expire in 2034. This carry forwardcarry-forward may be limited upon the ownership change under IRCIRS Section 382. IRS Section 382 places limitations (the “Section 382 Limitation”) on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by net operating loss carry-forwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. Generally, after a change in control, a loss corporation cannot deduct operating loss carry-forwards in excess of the Section 382 Limitation. Due to these “change in ownership” provisions, utilization of the net operating loss may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods. The Company has not concluded its analysis of Section 382 through December 31, 2021 but believes the provisions will not limit the availability of losses to offset future income.

F-32

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Nevada. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. As of December 31, 2021, tax years 2015 through 2020 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

13.SUBSEQUENT EVENTSF-33

In connection with the Sale, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized and approved a series of preferred stock to be known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, for which 1,050,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share, were authorized and a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Certificate”), was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “State”) to effectuate the authorization.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our chief executive officer, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer, concluded that, as at December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion reached by our chief executive officer was a result of the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

(i)inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and
(ii)insufficient staffing resources resulting in inadequate review procedures

To address these material weaknesses, our chief executive officer performed additional analyses and other procedures, including retaining the assistance of qualified accounting professionals to assist with the preparation of our financial statements, to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2016 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

43

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible. However, we are in the process of implementing processes and procedures intended to mitigate any material weaknesses identified.

Subject to receipt of additional financing, we intend to undertake the below remediation measures to address the material weaknesses described in this Form 10-K. Such remediation activities include the following:

(i)we intend to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes; and
(ii)we intend to implement procedures pursuant to which we can ensure segregation of duties and hire additional resources to ensure appropriate review and oversight.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our chief executive officer, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Based on our evaluation under the framework in COSO, our chief executive officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2015 due to the above-noted material weaknesses with respect to disclosure controls and procedures. The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. We believe we have taken initial steps to mitigate these risks by consulting outside advisors where necessary.

Our management believes that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEX TO EXHIBITS

We have found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by our governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the board of directors in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the board of directors operates in the best interests of our company.

Nomination of Directors

As of March 30, 2017, we had not effected any material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If stockholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

Compensation

Our board of directors is responsible for determining compensation for the directors of our company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a director of a public company.

Other Board Committees

Other than our audit committee, we have no committees of our board of directors. We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.

A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request to the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

Assessments

The board intends that individual director assessments be conducted by other directors, taking into account each director’s contributions at board meetings, service on committees, experience base, and their general ability to contribute to one or more of our company’s major needs. However, due to our stage of development and our need to deal with other urgent priorities, the board has not yet implemented such a process of assessment.

Director Independence

We are not currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In evaluating the independence of our members and the composition of the committees of our board of directors, we utilize the definition of “independence” as that term is defined by applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards of an audit committee and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe James Geiskopf is an independent director because he is not an officer of our company and not a beneficial owner of a material amount of shares of our common stock. We have determined that Rory Cutaia is not independent due to the fact that he is the executive officer of our company.

Our board of directors expects to continue to evaluate its independence standards and whether and to what extent the composition of our board of directors and its committees meets those standards. We ultimately intend to appoint such persons to our board and committees of our board as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will be independent directors of which at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under theSecurities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees

On February 15, 2017, our Audit Committee of our Board dismissed Anton & Chia, LLP (“A&C”), as our principal independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of A&C on our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our substantial operating losses, working capital deficiencies and dependence on future capital contributions or financing to fund ongoing operations.

During our past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and in the subsequent interim period through February 15, 2017 (the “Relevant Period”), there have been no disagreements, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Commission, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with A&C on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of A&C, would have caused A&C to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report on our financial statements.

We provided A&C with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report prior to filing with the Commission. A copy of A&C’s letter dated February 15, 2017 to the Commission, stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this Current Report, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.

On February 15, 2017, our Audit Committee appointed Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg”), as our principal independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

55

The following table sets forth the fees billed to our company for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 for professional services rendered by Anton & Chia, LLP (predecessor), our predecessor independent registered public accounting firm, and Weinberg & Company, our current independent registered public accounting firm.

Fees 2016  2015 
Audit Fees $27,500  $31,400 
Audit Related Fees  -   - 
Tax Fees  -   - 
Other Fees  -   - 
Total Fees $27,500  $31,400 

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our entire board of directors, which acts as our audit committee, pre-approves all services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our board of directors before the respective services were rendered.

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Anton & Chia and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining its respective independence.
