On December 18, 2015, we formed a new Latin America company to facilitate our expansion into the region.

In August 2015, a Chinese based Satellite operator, KeyIdea, commenced the launch of its mobile Voice over IP solution targeting its VSAT customers in China. We expect this revenue share based co-operation to contribute to our revenues as the rollout of the numerous KeyIdeas earth stations and customer increases in the next few years.

In September 2015, a US based operator, Roam Frii, commenced the launch of its mobile Voice over IP solution targeting free Wi-Fi mobile hotspots throughout New York City. We expect this revenue share based co-operation to contribute to our revenues as the rollout of the numerous New York based Wi-Fi solutions increases in the next few years.

On November 30, 2015, we were awarded our patent for our bandwidth efficient mobile voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") platform.

In the second quarter of 2015 (the first quarter since the commercial launch of Aishuo) the Company recorded approximately $7,000 of revenue. In the three months ending September 30, 2015, the revenue from Aishuo grew to approximately $16,000 for the quarter. In the final quarter of 2015 the revenue had grown to over $30,000 in the quarter. The management expect this trend in revenue growth to continue as the Chinese user base grows.

In addition to growing the developmentscustomer base of TCL, the Company will look at growth through the following methods:

Growing through acquisitions:We believe that the highly fragmented content creation media industry, which is comprised primarily of small-to-medium-sized private companies, provides us with significant opportunities to grow our business through acquisitions. We intend to pursue acquisitions that provide services within our current core product offerings, extend our geographic reach and expand our product offerings.

Cross-selling services:    Our ability to produce diverse, engaging content across various media platforms allows us to offer clients a one-stop-shop for all of their content needs. We intend to cross-sell our various capabilities to drive additional revenue from existing clients and to seek to win new clients.

Expanding our geographic presence:    We believe that by expanding our physical presence into select international regions, we will be better able to attract and retain internationally based brands as clients. With a physical presence outside of the U.S., we believe we can provide better customer service and offer local talent who can work more intimately with internationally based brands than we can from our offices in the rollout of Aishuo smartphone appU.S.

Expanding our talent roster:    We intend to continue to seek to attract and retain world-class creative and technical talent, thereby increasing our ability to win jobs and build brand equity through additional high quality creative content. We believe that our reputation and our client base will allow us to continue to attract top creative talent.

There are over 1.9 billion smartphones now in circulation and, by 2018, we expect the number of users will grow to 2.56 billion, or one-third of all people worldwide (Source:http://www.emarketer.com/Article/2-Billion-Consumers-Worldwide-Smartphones-by-2016/1011694). Each new smartphone represents an opportunity for us to deliver our innovative mobile VoIP, Messaging over IP and Advertising over IP solution in whatever mobile app brand is attractive to the end user throughout the globe.

By partnering with national carriers and delivering our solution as a licensed service to regional mobile operators, we leverage the power of their brand and join them to fight back against already lost revenues, or potential revenue loss, to network bandwidth-intensive Over The Top (“OTT”) VoIP apps; such as Skype in the USA or Line in Japan and so on.

In the past mobile operators relied upon blocking VoIP on their networks but they have realized that this is no longer a viable option. They must embrace innovations in VoIP software, especially on the smartphone, from businesses like ours. Not only can we offer a multi-media, multi-faceted software solution to smartphones, but we are the only company that offers a package that aids the operators in the rollout, expansion, maintenance and upgrade of their mobile network in metro and rural areas to cater for smartphones.

From the beginning of the first smartphones in 2008, our software was specifically targetedinformation to be a disruptive technology, which was and has been explicitly designed, and patented, to workpart of, this Annual Report on congested wireless Internet connections; the absolute fundamental basis of mobile phones in 2016 and beyond.Form 10-K.

As more and more smartphones come online, each one places a significantly higher load on the existing cellular infrastructure; as smartphone users now use smartphone to check for emails, surf the Internet, check the weather, read the news, etc. while in the past, all a mobile phone did was calling and Short Messaging (SMS). In order for carriers to keep up with the explosive growth of smartphones and their increased network consumption they are in need of any possible tool to assist them in managing their network and maintaining relevance on the users’ device.

We offer operators a mobile VoIP call that has ten (10) times less bandwidth than a standard telephone call over GSM or legacy mobile VoIP solutions such as Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”). This gives operators a higher quality call on busy and legacy networks such as 2G, 3G and congested metro-based 4G using less bandwidth; meaning more bang for their “spectrum buck”. We will not replace traditional calls nor prevent the delivery of newer call types such as Voice over LTE (“VoLTE”) etc., but we give operators yet another tool in their arsenal to deliver the best quality voice, for the best value, for their diversified customer bases.

Our Technology

Our Technology

We have a very detailed knowledge of these wireless data network issues and have invented a totally new solution to successfully deliver a high quality voice call over a wireless Internet connection. Our solution is designed specifically to address such issues as call latency (i.e. delay) and network jitter (i.e. lost data) in a way that achieves a much higher likelihood of a voice packet (i.e. tiny piece of recorded voice) arriving in time and not being lost or delayed. Our awareness of these problems led us to develop a completely new algorithm for sending and receiving (and ordering) voice packets so as to reduce the likelihood of packet loss due to congestion, which we call SmartPacket™; and to the end user this just means near HD audio at a fraction of the cellular consumption.

SmartPacket™ Technology

The core of the Horizon solution is our truly innovative, and patented, SmartPacket™ technology. This enables VoIP from only 2 kilobytes/second (kbps) compared to around 8kbps and upwards from other VoIP platforms available today.  This industry-leading solution has been developed in-house and is fully compatible with digital telecommunications standards.  This technology is capable of interconnecting any phone system over IP - on mobile, fixed and satellite networks.  Our SmartPacket™ technology is not based on legacy SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) or RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol).  Rather, the Horizon signaling protocol is much simpler and benchmark testing has shown that it consumes significantly less bandwidth for the same audio quality score.  Our SmartPacket™ technology is the world’s most bandwidth efficient IP communication platform designed for mobile communications. The technology optimizes voice flow, delivery and playback and delivers excellent call quality, reduced delays and drops.   As a further illustration, the technology is considerably more efficient in the way it handles silence.  Traditional VoIP calls send the same amount of data in both directions, regardless of whether or not someone is speaking.  SmartPacket™ technology is designed to detect silence and send tiny “indications of silence”, rather than the silence itself. This massively reduces the amount of data transmitted, lowers the load on the cellular infrastructure which, in turn, means that more data can get through.  This results in higher audio quality and a better user experience.

Our Benchmark Testing: Horizon vs G.729

G.729 is a type of audio compression that is typically used throughout the world for mobile VoIP. Our testing has shown that Horizon is up to 10 times more efficient, depending on which one of our voice compression settings is selected by the user.

Proprietary

The Horizon Platform has been developed entirely in-house, patented, and is fully compatible with digital telecommunications standards. It is capable of interconnecting any phone system over IP – on mobile, fixed and satellite networks.

The Horizon Platform was initially developed for the burgeoning smartphone market and the challenging mobile VoIP over satellite market by Abbey Technology to make the best use of the limited wireless bandwidth available and to minimize the amount of data consumed.

We further developed the Horizon Platform for the broader telecommunications market on Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android and a Windows PC client focusing on the mobile Internet sector. This sector also benefits from our optimized mobile VoIP as it allows voice calls over new and legacy cellular telecom data networks. With the explosive growth in smartphone sales and increased usage of mobile data services, mobile operators face the challenge of dealing with increasingly congested networks, more dropped calls and rising levels of churn. Since the wireless spectrum is a finite resource, it is not always possible, or can be cost prohibitive, to increase network capacity. For these reasons, we believe that the demand for solutions to optimize the use of IP bandwidth will inevitably increase.

Our Strategy

We have developed a mobile application template called “Horizon Call,” that enables highly bandwidth-efficient VoIP calls over a smartphone using a 2G/EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi or Satellite connection. Our Horizon Call applicationThe Company’s strategy is currently available forto grow the iPhoneTCL business and for Android handsets and we use it to showcase all of our functions, features, our call quality and the level of software innovation that we can brand for our potential clients.

Unlike the majority of mobile VoIP applications, Horizon Call creates a white-label business-to-business solution for mobile operators. Telecommunications operators are able to license from us, brand with us and deploy with us a completely new “white-labeled” solution so that they can optimize their highly pressurized mobile internet bandwidth and deliver innovation that in turn brings them new smartphone users. The operators decide how to integrate our application within their portfolio, how to offer it commercially and can customize it according to their own branding.  Our solution helps them to manage increased traffic volumes while combating the competitive threat to their voice telephony revenues from other mobile VoIP applications by giving its mobile data customers a more efficient mobile VoIP solution that adds value to their mobile data network.

We are positioning ourselves as an operator-enabler by licensing our technology to mobile operators in a manner that can be fully customized to the needs of their subscribers. As shown below, operators are able to offer our platform to deliver branded smartphone applications to their existing customers to reduce lost Voice/Text revenue and minimize customer churn. 

By offering Horizon Call to their existing customer base, our customers can offer innovative data-based voice and data services that are different from the existing Over The Top (“OTT”) data applications running on their networks. OTT refers to voice and messaging services that are delivered by a third party to an end user’s smartphone, leaving the mobile network provider responsible only for transporting internet data packets and not the value-added content. The Horizon Call voice services allow mobile operators’ customers to make VoIP calls under mobile operators’ call plans, thereby allowing mobile operators to capture value-added content, including voice calls, text messaging, voice messaging, group messaging, multimedia messaging, and advertising, that would have otherwise gone to the providers of other OTT services.

Horizon Call runs on both smartphone and tablet devices and, as networks become more congested, software services such as Horizon Call become ever more relevant. We believe that although more network capacity will eventually come on stream with 4G/LTE, it, like all other highways, will quickly become congested and this is why we believe that Horizon Call is ideally placed to add value to mobile data networks.

Incumbent mobile operators are suffering a reduction in revenue per user due to the OTT software services on mobile devices. These OTT applications, such as Skype and Line, can negatively impact mobile operators’ traditional revenue streams of voice and SMS (short message service). As shown below, the Horizon Platform positions the Company to enable mobile operators to operate their own OTT solution branded in their image allowing use on all mobile data networks.

In addition to delivering new data services to their existing customers, mobile operators can offer their brand of Horizon Call on anyother operators’ handsets. Because the Horizon Call application can be installed on the smartphone from the Internet, the potential customer base for the operators’ data application surpasses the customer base that they can reach through traditional mobile phone SIM card distribution. We believe that this service innovation, coupled with the fact that the Horizon Call application can also use existing mobile operator pre-paid credit redemption and distribution services, presents a very compelling service against OTT services.

We believe that emerging markets represent a key opportunity for Horizon Call because these are significant markets with high population densities, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growthacquisitions in the adoption of smartphones.  More than one-quarter of the world’s population will use smartphones in 2015,digital media, sports and by 2018, over 2.56 billion or one-third of all people worldwide will be smartphone users.  Asia-Pacific will account for over half of all smartphone users in 2015, estimated at 951.5 M users. Globally, China is the largest smartphone market with an estimated 574.2 M handsets. These factors will put increased pressure on mobile operators to manage their network availability.entertainment space.

In this context, where necessary, we have created our own brand in China, called Aishuo, formed a number of strategic ventures with local partners in regions of various emerging markets to seize upon this opportunity.

In 2013 through our subsidiary One Horizon Hong Kong Ltd, we invested $1.5 million for a 75% equity stake in, Horizon Network Technology Co., Ltd (“HNT”), while, ZTE Corporation, held a 25% equity stake in HNT. In 2015 ZTE Corporation allowed OHGI to take 100% ownership of HNT by forfeiting their minority shareholding.

Aishuo in China

To address the explosive growth in China, One Horizon is launching an own-brand smartphone VoIP service, called Aishuo. To date, we have over 15 million downloads of the Aishuo smartphone App and have successfully installed servers throughout China. Our Aishuo app interconnects to the WeChat Wallet, AliPay and UnionPay credit card and micro-payments services in China to facilitate payments.  We have also uploaded the App to the biggest smartphone App stores in China including Baidu, Tencent and Qihoo.  The smart phone app will be able to provide various optimized internet value added services to its mobile subscribers including but not limited to voice and social media services such as text, picture, video and geo-location messaging. These value added services are made possible through the creation of a "Virtual SIM" and One Horizon's proprietary communication software, an industry first. Combined with One Horizon's location aware mobile advertising services, the Aishuo branded smart phone app is expected to drive multiple revenue streams from the supply of its value-added services. The service has attracted over 15 million downloads in its first year of operation and expects to achieve industry average revenues per user (ARPU) for similar social media apps for its subscribers.

Marketing

Our marketing objective is to become a broadly adopted solution in the regions of the world with large concentrations of smartphone users and high network congestion. We aim at becoming the preferred solution for carriers who wish to deploy branded VoIP solutions that enable them to minimize revenue erosion, reduce churn, increase the effective capacity of their network infrastructure and improve user experience. We employ an integrated multi-channel approach to marketing, whereby we evaluate and focus our efforts on selling through telecommunications companies to enable them to provide the Horizon Platform to their customers. We routinely evaluate our marketing efforts and try to reallocate budgets to identify more effective media mixes.

We conduct marketing research to gain consumer insights into brand, product, and service performance, and utilize those findings to improve our messaging and media plans. Market research is also leveraged in the areas of testing, retention marketing, and product marketing to ensure that we bring compelling products and services to market.

Sales

Direct Sales. Our primary sales channel for the products and services of Horizon Platform is the sale of Horizon Platforms to Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecommunications companies to enable them to provide the product and services to their customers. We continue our efforts to develop new customers globally but particularly in Asia and Latin America.

Strategic Ventures.In addition to our direct sales channel, we also offer increased sales through our strategic venture channel. In this context, as mentioned above, we are working towards forming a number of strategic ventures in areas where regulatory issues require local representation.

Target Markets. The markets for our primary and joint venture channels will have high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones.

Competition

The Company’s direct competitors for its technology primarily consist of systems integrators that combine various elements of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) dialers and media gateways. Other dial-back solutions exist but they are not IP-based. Because SIP dialers and media gateways currently are unable to provide a low bandwidth solution, they do not currently compete with the Company’s technology in those markets in which their high bandwidth needs are unsupported by the existing cellular networks. They do, however, compete in those markets where the cellular networks are accessible by those SIP dialers and gateways.

The Company licenses the Horizon Platform to mobile operators, who in turn may offer the application to their end-user subscribers. The Company’s principal competitors for the mobile operators’ end-users are Skype, Viber, WeChat, and WhatsApp. Having a mobile operator’s subscriber opt to use the operator’s (branded) Horizon Call service instead of existing OTT services means that the mobile operator will gain market share of some of the OTT voice and messaging traffic. We are currently unaware of any other companies that seek to license VoIP technology directly to mobile operators.

One of the Company’s key competitive advantages is that it is not a threat to mobile operators. Rather, the Company’s Horizon Platform is a tool that can be used by mobile operators to compete against the OTT provider’s applications that are running on their networks. Through the Horizon Platform, mobile operators are able to compete directly with OTT services that, by their design, divert voice and messaging services away from mobile operators. The solution is delivered completely and is easy to install and operate. This means that a mobile operator has a turnkey mobile voice and messaging solution to deploy to its customer (i.e., the end-user).

The turnkey Horizon software platform and the Horizon SmartPacket™ technology give us a competitive advantage by managing credit, routing, rating, security, performance, billing and monitoring. Horizon SmartPacket™ is the world’s lowest bandwidth voice compression and transmission protocol and is 100% developed and owned by the Company. Though other software companies can offer part of this solution space, we believe none offers it in such a complete and integrated fashion as we do. We believe it will take a substantial number of years to copy/replicate the Horizon Platform in its entirety, by which time we believe the Horizon Platform will have improved and further distanced itself from potential competition.

Intellectual Property

Our strategy with respect to our intellectual property is to patent our core software concepts wherever possible. The Company’s current software patent has been approved in the United States and is pending in other jurisdictions around the world. Our patent strategy serves to protects the Horizon Platform and the central processing service of the Horizon Platform.

The Company endeavors to protect its internally developed systems and technologies. All of our software is developed “in-house,” and then licensed to our customers. We take steps, including by contracts, to ensure that any changes, modifications or additions to the Horizon Platform requested by our customers remain the sole intellectual property of the Company.

Research and Development and Software Products

The Company has spent approximately $1.1 million on capitalizable research and development in the fiscal year 2015.

During 2015, we expanded our Irish software development team, our QA team and our graphics team with the addition of 5 new employees in our office at the Nexus Innovation Center on the campus of the University of Limerick.

Throughout 2015 we continued with our focus on innovation and our research and development teams (“R&D”) brought us a brand new call handoff solution. Applying this new call handoff solution, a call that is in progress on Wi-Fi will automatically transfer to 2G/3G/4G when Wi-Fi signal becomes too weak. Vice versa when a call is in progress over 2G/3G/4G and a known Wi-Fi signal is detected, the call will automatically transfer to a stronger signal. Whilst others have partially solved this issue of radio-handoff, the Horizon solution works for all handset types on Android and on Apple's iOS and we believe that this will open up other mobile VoIP opportunities.

R&D also delivered the only service in the world with a combo multi-installation App joined to a shared/peer landline or mobile. Using these features, especially for business, an App will ring on multiple devices at the same time not only on a smartphone and tablet but also ring a land line, mobile, and remote office etc. In this case, an end user can choose the most convenient way to answer a call. Whilst our competitors have partially solved this issue of simultaneous ringing with just the App, we have solved this for all phone types and we believe that this will open up other mobile VoIP opportunities for the Company.

Our R&D also focused on further enhancing our VoIP technology to detect and tune optimized voice quality on Xiaomi phones. Xiaomi is China's biggest selling smartphone vendor (source: IDC http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prHK25437515). We plan to continue our R&D focus on optimizing our application and service on Xiaomi smartphones given the expansion of the Xiaomi brand in China, India and South East Asia in order to keep the Aishuo App as the top performing retail VoIP service across the other top four brands in China's smartphone marketplace including Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei and Coolpad.

Furthermore, the R&D team delivered a brand new mobile VoIP app Voicemail concept and Ringback Tune concept. The new Voicemail solution means that when subscribers rent telephone numbers on Horizon, they will automatically have the facility of a personalized Voicemail service for them when they are busy or out of Internet coverage. Voicemails can be left by the calling party, optimized for efficient delivery and delivered to the App as audio messages. The user does not have to go through the cumbersome steps of dialing into a messaging service, our App delivers the voicemail directly to the App, complete with caller ID of the caller. The new Ringback Tune solution allows the App user to record, usually fun, audio track to be played to the person calling them while their phone is ringing. Ringback is sold on a monthly basis by mobile operators throughout Asia and our new method for doing this in our technology means that further service revenues can be derived by our licensee by offering new and fun features within our mobile Apps.

Further and deeper integration with the Google Wallet and Apple In-App Purchase solutions was also carried out by our R&D teams. Both of these payment service solutions were released in the second quarter of 2015 and provided more payment options to our B2B and B2C subscribers. And we continue to research the ever changing realm of on-line payment services for our customers by getting our In App Payment service for iTunes deployed for use in mainland China for Aishuo and our new KeyIdeas and LinRen licensees.

R&D also delivered an in app Sticker solution this year. Stickers are small cartoonlike figures used in smartphone text-chat conversations to show emotions. They are hugely popular in Asia and generate significant revenues for those companies that have such services in place. We intend to license the core Sticker service to our operators and also to launch a complete Sticker purchase service in the Aishuo app in China.

R&D delivered a brand new concept in mobile advertising called a Gift Center. Our technology can now deliver small gifts of free calls etc. to our loyal users when they invite others to join, use our app on a regular basis etc. Bringing a feeling of loyalty to a smartphone app is key to retaining the customer and reducing churn.

Employees

As of December 31, 2015,2019, we had 29six employees, all of whom were full-time employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Not applicable.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a history of operating losses and our auditors have indicated that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we reported losses from continuing operations of $3.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations of $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had an aggregate accumulated deficit of approximately $61.3 million. Such losses have historically required us to seek additional funding through the issuance of debt or equity securities. Our long-term success is dependent upon among other things, achieving positive cash flows from operations and if necessary, augmenting such cash flows using external resources to satisfy our cash needs. As a result of Touchpoint licensing agreements signed and forecast to be signed in 2020 we project to have positive cash flows during the second half of 2020 to fund operations from late 2020 onwards. However, we may be unable to achieve these goals and actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions; accordingly, we may have to supplement our cash flow, by debt financing or sales of equity securities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding, if needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or of all.

As a result of these net losses and cash flow deficits and other factors, our independent auditors issued an audit opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2019 that indicated that without obtaining sufficient additional equity or debt funding, there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments would likely include substantial impairment of the carrying amount of our assets and potential contingent liabilities that may arise if we are unable to fulfill various operational commitments. In addition, the value of our securities, including common stock issued in this offering, would be greatly impaired. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating sufficient cash flow from operations and obtaining additional capital and financing, including funds to be raised in this offering. If our ability to generate cash flow from operations is delayed or reduced and we are unable to raise additional funding from other sources, we may be unable to continue in business even if this offering is successful. For further discussion about our ability to continue as a going concern and our plan for future liquidity, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.”

We are a holding company and depend upon our subsidiaries for our cash flows.

We are a holding company. All of our operations are conducted, and almost all of our assets are owned, by our subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flows and our ability to meet our obligations depend upon the cash flows of our subsidiaries and the payment of funds by these subsidiaries to us in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise. The ability of our subsidiaries to make any payments to us depends on their earnings, the terms of their indebtedness, including the terms of any credit facilities and legal restrictions. Any failure to receive dividends or distributions from our subsidiaries when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Future acquisitions or strategic investments could disrupt our business and harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We may in the future explore potential acquisitions of companies or strategic investments to strengthen our business. Even if we identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be successful in negotiating the terms or financing of the acquisition, and our due diligence may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired business.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm our business, including:

Failure to appropriately mitigate these risks or other issues related to such strategic investments and acquisitions could result in reducing or completely eliminating any anticipated benefits of transactions and harm our business generally. Future acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses or the impairment of goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations or financial condition.

We may require additional funding for our growth plans, and such funding may result in a dilution of your investment.

We have estimated our funding requirements in order to implement our growth plans.

If the costs of implementing such plans should exceed these estimates significantly or if we come across opportunities to grow through expansion plans which cannot be predicted at this time, and our funds generated from our operations prove insufficient for such purposes, we may need to raise additional funds to meet these funding requirements.

These additional funds may be raised by issuing equity or debt securities or by borrowing from banks or other resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we fail to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, we will not be able to implement such plans fully if at all. Such financing even if obtained, may be accompanied by conditions that limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek lenders’ consent for payment of dividends, or restrict our freedom to operate our business by requiring lender’s consent for certain corporate actions.

Further, if we raise additional funds by way of a rights offering or through the issuance of new shares, any shareholders who are unable or unwilling to participate in such an additional round of fund raising may suffer dilution in their investment.

Public health epidemics or outbreaks, such as COVID-19, could materially and adversely impact our business.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.

Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, certain federal, state and local governmental authorities have issued stay-at-home orders, proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future. As a result, the Company has seen delays in certain Touchpoint licensing agreements commencing operation which leads to subsequent delays in subscriptions being processed. All of the Company employees and management can operate from home whilst the stay-at-home orders remain in place.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced customer traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The measures taken to date will impact the Company’s business for the fiscal first, second and third quarters and potentially beyond. Management expects that all of its business segments, across all of its geographies, will be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.

Our executive officers do not reside in the United States.

Our U.S. stockholders would face difficulty in:

Accordingly, persons contemplating an investment in our common stock should seriously consider these factors before making an investment decision.

Our future success depends on the continuing efforts of our key employees and our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate highly skilled and creative employees in the future.

Our future success depends on the continuing efforts of our executive officers, our founders and other key employees, and in particular, Mark White, our Chief Executive Officer, and Martin Ward, our Chief Financial Officer. We rely on the leadership, knowledge and experience that our executive officers, founders and key employees provide. They foster our corporate culture, which we believe has been instrumental to our ability to attract and retain new talent. Any failure to attract new or retain key creative talent could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The market for talent in our key areas of operations, including California and New York, is intensely competitive, which could increase our costs to attract and retain talented employees. As a result, we may incur significant costs to attract and retain employees, including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits and compensation expenses related to equity awards, and we may lose new employees to our competitors or other companies before we realize the benefit of our investment in recruiting and training them.

Employee turnover, including changes in our management team, could disrupt our business. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, founders or other key employees, or our inability to attract and retain highly skilled and creative employees, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We believe our corporate culture has contributed to our success and, if we are unable to maintain it as we grow, our business could be harmed.

We believe our corporate culture has been a key element of our success. However, as our organization grows, it may be difficult to maintain our culture, which could reduce our ability to attract and maintain new talent and operate effectively. The failure to maintain the key aspects of our culture as our organization grows could result in decreased employee satisfaction, increased difficulty in attracting top talent and increased turnover and could compromise the quality of our client service, all of which are important to our success and to the effective execution of our business strategy. Accordingly, if we are unable to maintain our corporate culture as we grow our business, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We may not have sufficient insurance coverage and an interruption of our business or loss of a significant amount of property could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

We currently do not maintain any insurance policies against loss of key personnel and business interruption as well as product liability claims. If such events were to occur, our business, financial performance and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.

From time-to-time we may be involved in a variety of claims or litigations. Such proceeding may initially be viewed as immaterial but could prove to be material. Litigations are inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. Given the inherent uncertainties in litigation, even when we can reasonably estimate the amount of possible loss or range of loss and reasonably estimable loss contingencies, the actual outcome may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach. In addition, such claims or litigations could involve significant expense and diversion of management’s attention and resources from other matters.

We may be unable to adequately safeguard our intellectual property, or we may face claims that may be costly to resolve or that limit our ability to use such intellectual property in the future.

Our business is reliant on our intellectual property. Our software is the result of our research and development efforts, which we believe to be proprietary and unique. However, we are unable to assure you that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in respect of our intellectual property or that such claims will not be successful. It may be difficult for us to establish or protect our intellectual property against such third parties and we could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources in defending any claims relating to proprietary rights. If any party succeeds in asserting a claim against us relating to the disputed intellectual property, we may need to obtain licenses to continue to use the same. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could cause our business results to suffer.

Where litigation is necessary to safeguard our intellectual property, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, this could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or future prospects.

We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws with respect to our activities outside the United States.

We distribute our products to locations within and outside the United States as well as operate our business within and outside the United States. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in preventing our agents from taking actions in violation of these laws or regulations. Such violations, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on third parties to provide services in connection with our business, and any failure by these third parties to perform their obligations could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have entered into agreements with third parties that include, but are not limited to, information technology systems (including hosting our website, mobile application and our point of sale system), software development and support, select marketing services, employee benefits servicing and video production and distribution. Services provided by third-party suppliers could be interrupted as a result of many factors, such as acts of nature or contract disputes. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks associated with the third parties’ abilities to provide these services to meet our needs. Any failure by a third party to provide services for which we have contracted on a timely basis or within expected service level and performance standards could result in a disruption of our business and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR STATUS AS A PUBLIC COMPANY.

As a result of being a public company, we are subject to additional reporting and corporate governance requirements that will require additional management time, resources and expense.

As a public company we are obligated to file with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports that are specified in the Exchange Act. We are also subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, all of which impose significant compliance and reporting obligations upon us and require us to incur additional expense in order to fulfill such obligations.

Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our security holders to resell their common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets. Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq Capital Market or a stock exchange like the NYSE American. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our common stock.

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock and/or warrants. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and/or warrants, regardless of our actual operating performance.

The issuance of a large number of shares of our common stock could significantly dilute existing stockholders and negatively impact the market price of our common stock.

On August 5, 2019 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 18, 2019, with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”) providing that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Crown Bridge is committed to purchase, on an unconditional basis, shares of common stock (“Put Shares”) at an aggregate price of up to $10,000,000 over the course of its term. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for each of thePut Shares equals 82% of the lesser of the (i) “Market Price,” which is defined as the lowest traded price for any trading day during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the respective Put Date, or (ii) “Valuation Price,” which is defined as the lowest traded price during the seven trading days following the clearing date associated with the applicable put notice (“Put Notice”).As a result, if we sell shares of common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement, we will be issuing common stock at below market prices, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, and if such issuances are significant in number, the amount of the decline in our market price could also be significant. In general, we are unlikely to sell shares of common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement at a time when the additional dilution to stockholders would be substantial unless we are unable to obtain capital to meet our financial obligations from other sources on better terms at such time. However, if we do, the dilution that could result from such issuances could have a material adverse impact on existing stockholders and could cause the price of our common stock to fall rapidly based on the amount of such dilution.

Crown Bridge may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.

Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, we are prohibited from delivering a Put Notice to Crown Bridge to the extent that the issuance of shares would cause Crown Bridge to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock. These restrictions, however, do not prevent Crown Bridge from selling shares of common stock received in connection with the $10,000,000 Crown Bridge equity line (the “Equity Line”) and then receiving additional shares of common stock in connection with a subsequent issuance. In this way, Crown Bridge could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% at any one time. As a result, existing stockholders and new investors could experience substantial diminution in the value of their shares of common stock. Additionally, we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales by Crown Bridge of the shares issued under the Equity Line.

Our common stock is a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”

Our common stock is a “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Unless we successfully list our common stock on a national securities exchange, or attain and maintain a per-share price above $5.00, these rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide 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.

Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following:

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments.

For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock will no longer be classified as a “penny stock” in the future.

As a result of our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the price of our securities may be adversely affected.

Our internal control over financial reporting has weaknesses and conditions that require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.  

We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our securities will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and the market value of our securities may be negatively affected.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the 4,132,600 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, approximately 2,803,942 shares are tradable without restriction. Given the limited trading of our common stock, resale of even a small number of shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Certain provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware may have anti-takeover effects, which may make an acquisition of our company by another company more difficult.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination, including mergers and asset sales, with an interested stockholder (generally, a 15% or greater stockholder) for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The operation of Section 203 may have anti-takeover effects, which could delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a holder of our common stock might consider in its best interest.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, as amended, may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. Further, our certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.
