NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

CFN Enterprises Inc., formerly known as Accelerize Inc., or the Company, is a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 22, 2005 ownswhich owned and operatesoperated CAKE, a Software-as-a-Service or SaaS, platform providing online tracking and analytics solutions for advertisers and online marketers.

The Company providesprovided software solutions for businesses interested in expanding their online advertising spend. Effective October 22, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to CFN Enterprises Inc.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, or the Asset Purchase Agreement, with CAKE Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (TSX: CSU), or Constellation, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets associated with its CAKE and Journey by CAKE business, or the CAKE Business, to Constellation for a base purchase price of $19,400,000 plus or minus an estimated closing date adjustment based on the net tangible assets of the CAKE Business at the closing, a holdback of $500,000 adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and payable on the first anniversary of the closing date, and a three year earnout equal to 30% of the amount that the annual net revenue of the CAKE Business exceeds $13,750,000 and payable within 120 days on each of the first, second and third end of month anniversaries of the closing date. The sale of the assets of the CAKE Business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement closed on June 18, 2019, and the Company received proceeds of $20,892,667, net of the estimated closing date adjustment.

As of the closing date, Constellation acquired all of the assets used by the Company in the CAKE Business and assumed the Company’s post-closing obligations under certain vendor, customer and other commercial contracts related to the CAKE Business, including the Company’s lease for its headquarters in Newport Beach, California. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and the assets associated with its Accelerize trademark, are excluded from the sale of the CAKE Business. Constellation offered employment to certain of the Company’s employees following the closing date.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Emerging Growth Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC, or the Seller, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business for a purchase price consideration consisting of $420,000 in cash, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock with a total stated value of $3,000,000 which bears interest at 6% per annum and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price to be mutually agreed in the future, without voting rights or a liquidation preference except with respect to default interest.  The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing of the purchase of the assets pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement occurred on June 20, 2019.

Subsequent to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement on June 18, 2018, the Company’s continuing operations consist of the sponsored content and marketing business from the assets acquired pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement.


Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.  

The Company had working capital of $902,697 and an accumulated deficit of $29,836,426 as of September 30, 2019.  The Company also had a net loss from continuing operations of $1,280,889 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

As discussed above, on May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Constellation under which all the net assets associated with the CAKE Business were sold. The proceeds from the Asset Purchase Agreement were used to pay off the Company’s existing debt, as well as to acquire certain assets in the Emerging Growth Agreement from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, growing the business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. The Company cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and Cake Marketing UK Ltd., or the Subsidiary. The Company discontinued its operations associated with its CAKE Business and the operations of its Subsidiary in May 2019. These accounts have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Continuing operations presented in periods prior reflect administrative expenses associated with business insurance, legal and accounting fees that the Company will continue to incur. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.  The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation of these may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.  

The Company had a working capital deficit of $4,557,359 and an accumulated deficit of $43,973,761 as of March 31, 2019.  The Company also had a net loss of $1,013,637 and cash provided by operating activities of $374,140 during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs.  During the second quarter of 2018, the Company engaged a nationally recognized investment bank to assist management in pursuing strategic transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, capital raising and debt restructuring. On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets. This agreement is subject to stockholder approval (see Note 10, Subsequent Events). However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Cake Marketing UK Ltd., or the Subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets, borrowing rate considered for operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM,Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 


Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. The prior year amounts have also been reclassified in these financial statements to properly report amounts under current operations and discontinued operations (see note 7).

  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company hashad restricted cash as a result of its corporate card program through its bank. The bank, requires awhich required collateral which is placed in a money market account and can be increased or decreased at any time ataccount. The corporate card program was terminated during the discretion ofthree months ended September 30, 2019, which resulted in the Company.restricted cash balance being transferred back to the Company for its general use. The Company’s restricted cash amounted to $0 at September 30, 2019 and $50,000 at MarchDecember 31, 20192018. The restricted cash balance of $50,000 is included as a component of total cash and December 31,restricted cash as presented on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivableaccount receivables are due primarily from advertisers and marketers.customers relating to contracts to provide investor relation services. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at a financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. DuringFrom time-to-time, the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company has reachedCompany’s bank balances exceedingexceed the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. The Company had cash balances of approximately $665,000 at September 30, 2019 that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit.

 

The Company's accounts receivable are due from customers generally located in the United States Europe, Asia, and Canada. The Company had a customerthree customers who each accounted for 17%13.0%, 11.7% and 11.0% of its accounts receivable at March 31,September 30, 2019 and none at December 31, 2018. The Company does not require any collateral from its customers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 


The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

 

ThePrior to the Company discontinuing the operations of its CAKE Business in May 2019, the Company’s SaaS revenues arewere generated from implementation and training fees and a monthly license fee, supplemented by per transaction fees paid by customers for monthly platform usage. The initial term of the customer contract iswere generally one year with one of two general cancellation policies. Each party maycould cancel the contract within the initial period or after the initial period, with 30-days’ prior notice. The Company doesdid not provide any general right of return for its delivered items. Services associated with the implementation and training fees havehad standalone value to the Company’s customers, as there are third-party vendors who offer similar services to the Company’s services. Accordingly, they qualifyqualified as separate units of accounting. The Company allocatesallocated a fair value to each element deliverable at the recognition date and recognizesrecognized such value when the services are provided. The Company bases the fair value of the implementation and training fees on third-party evidence and the monthly license fee on vendor-specific objective evidence. Fees charged by third-party vendors for implementation and training services do not vary significantly from the fees charged by the Company. Services associated with implementation and training fees arewere generally rendered within a month from the initial contract date. The value attributed to the monthly license fees as well as the fees associated with monthly transaction-based platform usage arewere recognized in the corresponding period.

 


Product Concentration

Subsequent to the closing of the Emerging Growth Agreement on June 20, 2019, the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of promotional service packages to its customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company generatesoffers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. The services provided by the Company include advertising, publishing of interviews and articles across its revenues from software licensing, usage,network and related transaction fees.featuring of client content on its newsletters and social media. The packages all have fixed prices that are billed monthly over the terms of the agreement in even amounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers over time as work is performed, which is deemed to occur evenly throughout the duration of the contract. This also reflects the pattern in which costs are incurred on performing the contracts. To the extent revenue recognized on contracts at each period end exceeds collections, the amounts are reflected as accounts receivable. To the extent collections on contracts at each period end exceeds revenue recognized, the amounts are reflected as deferred revenue.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  

Level 2:

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

  

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 


 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lines of credit approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses relating to continuing operations amounted to $148,738 and $160,029 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. There were no advertising expenses during 2018 relating to continuing operations. Advertising expenses reported as a component of discontinued operations amounted to $0 and $140,907 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $159,665 and $415,358 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Subsidiary in the United Kingdom iswas British Pounds. The translation from British Pounds to U.S. dollars is performed for asset and liability accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts using historical exchange rates or rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate in effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Foreign currency translation gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations.


 

Software Development Costs

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company impaired the entire balance of unamortized internal-use software development costs which amounted to approximately $4,725,000 and did not capitalize internal-use software development costs in 2019. Costs incurred in the research and development of software products and significant upgrades and enhancements thereto during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation operation stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for maintenance and relatively minor upgrades and enhancements are expensed as incurred. Prior to the December 31, 2018 impairment, costs associated with the application development stage of new software products and significant upgrades and enhancements thereto were capitalized when 1) management implicitly or explicitly authorized and committed to funding a software project and 2) it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used to perform the function intended. The Company capitalized internal-use software development costs of $375,000 and $1,125,000 during the three-month periodthree and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2018. The Company amortized such costs once the new software products and significant upgrades and enhancements were completed. The unamortized internal-use software development costs amounted to approximately $4,196,000 at March 31, 2018. The Company’s amortization expenses associated with capitalized software development costs amounted to approximately $105,000 and $426,146 during the three-month periodthree and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2018 and was reflected in cost of revenues. There were no expenses associated with capitalized software development costs during the three-monththree and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019. The amortization expenses above are reported as a component of discontinued operations.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. 

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level. There was no impairment recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, 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 assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 6,595,000 outstanding stock options and 8,127,184 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had 7,237,500 outstanding stock options and 25,045,517 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

 

Share-Based Payment

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

 

The Company has elected to use the BSMBlack-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and supersedes the guidance in Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASU 2018-07, equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date fair value on the grant date. The probability of satisfying performance conditions must be considered for equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards with such conditions. This update to this standard has no impact in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Common stock awards

 

The Company has granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete.granted. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.


 

Warrants

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 6, Stockholders’ Deficit.  

Segment Reporting

The Company generated revenues from one source, its SaaS business, during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the Company based upon revenues and expenses by functional areas as disclosed in the Company's statements of operations.

On March 11, 2016, the Company entered into a subordinated loan, or the Agility Loan with Agility Capital II, LLC, or Agility, which provided for total availability of $625,000 and was to originally mature, prior to amendment, on March 31, 2017. The Agility Loan had a fixed interest rate of 12% per year and required $25,000 monthly amortization payments beginning on June 1, 2016. The Agility Loan also required fees of approximately $130,000 over the life of the loan and is subject to a total aggregate minimum interest of $50,000 in the event of a prepayment. The Agility Loan contained covenants to achieve specified Adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined, limiting capital expenditures, restricting our ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course and incur additional indebtedness. At the time of repayment of the Agility Loan, in January 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 


 

In connection with the Agility Loan, on June 30, 2016, as a result of outstanding amounts under the Agility Loan, the Company issued to Agility Capital a warrant to purchase up to 69,444 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. This warrant expires on March 11, 2021. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $15,880 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, the entirety of which was expensed prior to 2018.

On November 29, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment of the Agility Loan which waived any event of default and the breach of any covenant, representation, warranty, and any other agreement contained in the Agility Loan as a result of the entering into of the Settlement Agreement. On the date of the amendment, a loan modification fee in the amount of $100,000, fully earned and non-refundable, was added to the outstanding loan balance and shall accrue interest, expensed in the statement of operations. Additionally, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017. On November 29, 2016, the Company issued to Agility Capital a warrant to purchase up to 187,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. This warrant expires on November 29, 2021. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $42,427 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, the entirety of which was expensed prior to 2018.

On August 14, 2017, the Company entered into a consent to waiver of the Agility Loan, to permit the issuance of promissory notes to lenders, as further described below.

On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into the third amendment of the Agility Loan whereby Agility Capital agreed to loan an additional $300,000 to the Company, such that the aggregate principal amount owing to Agility Capital as of November 9, 2017 was $625,000. The Third Amendment extended the maturity date of the Agility Loan from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. A loan modification fee of $125,000 was deducted from the Additional Loan amount. This arrangement was treated as a substantial modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). Because the net present value of the modified notes was greater than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt extinguishment and reissuance of a new debt instrument, with the fair value of $606,034 and therefore recorded $106,034 as a loss on debt extinguishment.  The carrying value of the $625,000 did not change as a result of the extinguishment since the discounts recognized at inception of these new notes were fully amortized at the time of the issuance. 

On January 26, 2018, the Company repaid the Agility Loan by paying Agility Capital approximately $581,000 which terminated the loan agreement between the Company and Agility Capital and released Agility Capital’s security interest in Company assets. The Company owed $0 under the Agility Loan at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Cost of revenues

 $1,829,373  $2,353,860   -22.3%

Cost of revenues consists primarily of web hosting and personnel costs associated with supporting customer on-boarding and training activities, consisting of salaries, benefits, and related infrastructure costs. Web hosting fees are partially correlated to our revenues, depending on each specific agreement we have with our clients. The majority of our clients’ services are hosted on non-dedicated servers, on which capacity can be maximized by server, while certain customers prefer to have their services hosted on dedicated servers, on which capacity can only be maximized by customer and by server. Additionally, our resources associated with on-boarding are usually allocated at the beginning of the relationship with the new customer (usually, the first two months). Accordingly, our personnel costs associated with supporting customer on-boarding activities are not necessarily correlated with our revenues.

 

DuringSubsequent to the three-month periodclosing of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Constellation on June 18, 2019, which resulted in the sale of our CAKE Business and discontinuation of our operations previously recorded under this line of business, our net revenues from continuing operations consists of revenue generated from customer contracts acquired in the Emerging Growth Agreement which closed on June 20, 2019. Subsequent to this date, our revenues are generated from the sale of promotional service packages to customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. We offer different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 whenrepresents revenue related to this line of business. We expect this be our primary source of revenue going forward.

Costs of Revenue

Our cost of revenue represents costs incurred associated with performing services under our customer contracts acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement. Our cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to this line of business. We expect for our cost of revenue to increase proportionately with increases in revenues recognized in future periods.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $287,127 as compared to the sameprior year period indue primarily to additional legal and professional fees associated with regulatory requirements during 2019 associated with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Emerging Growth Agreement. Continuing operating expenses presented during the three months ended September 30, 2018 costreflect administrative expenses associated with business insurance, legal and accounting fees that we will continue to incur.

Discontinued Operations

Effective June 18, 2019, we sold substantially all of revenues decreased mainly asour assets associated with the CAKE Business for total proceeds of $20,892,667. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had a result of lower web hosting fees incurred to support oursmall gain from discontinued operations of approximately $175,000, and lower compensation and client concessions expense of approximately $90,000 and $145,000, respectively.

We believe that$1,113 due to adjustments made to certain accrued liabilities associated with our cost of revenues will remain approximately constantSubsidiary. The loss from discontinued operations during the remainder of 2019.three months ended September 30, 2018 represents the prior year results from the CAKE Business reclassified as discontinued operations.

We offer different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity.

Our cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 represents revenue recognized for the period from June 21, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On May 15, 2019, we entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of our assets related to the CAKE Business. We had a working capital deficitreceived gross cash proceeds of $4,557,359$20,892,667 for the sale of this business, less payments totaling $20,190,869 for the payoff of existing debt, transaction costs, and an accumulated deficit of $43,973,761 as of March 31, 2019.  We also hadcertain vendor payables, leaving us with a net lossincrease to cash of $1,013,637$701,798. Concurrent with this agreement, we also entered into the Emerging Growth Agreement where we acquired certain assets from Emerging Growth, LLC related to its sponsored content and cash provided by operating activitiesmarketing business for purchase price consideration consisting in part of $374,140.

$420,000 in cash. In September 2019, we received proceeds of $500,000 from a note payable. Our plan to continue as a going concern includes raising additional capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from revenue growthgrowing the business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. During the second quarter of 2018, we engaged a nationally recognized investment bank to assist us in pursuing strategic transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, capital raising and debt restructuring. On May 15, 2019, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of our assets. This agreement is subject to stockholder approval (see Note 10, Subsequent Events). However, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing our plans. We also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for us to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

 

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

During the Company's ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course, and that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants, except for the minimum liquidity and secured debt covenants, defaults relating to which have been waived by Beedie. The occurrence of a material adverse change will be an event of default under the Beedie Credit Agreement, in addition to other customary events of default. Default interest will be charged at 18% per annum. We granted Beedie a security interest, subordinated to the security interest of SaaS Capital, in all of our assets through a pledge and security agreement, patent security agreement and trademark security agreement, each between us and Beedie.

Up to 2,500,000 additional shares of common stock under the Beedie Warrant will be exercisable on a pro rata basis to additional amounts borrowed if and when advanced under the Beedie Credit Agreement.

Under the new guidance, the issuer would recognize the value of the feature only when it is activated and there is an actual reduction of the strike price or conversion feature.  The value of the adjustment is then to be recorded as deemed dividend and a reduction of income available to common stockholders. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $1,099,861 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $91,655 and $61,103 was expensed during the three-month periodnine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
