CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (this “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical facts and can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those expressions. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to such statements.

Our forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations about future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business, strategy, operations, financial performance or liquidity. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may impact our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors:

● our incursion of significant net losses and uncertainty whether we will be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations;

● our ability to continue as a going concern;

● our ability to grow and compete in the future, and to execute our business strategy;

● our ability to maintain and expand our customer base and to convince our customers to increase the use of our services and/or platform;

● the competitive market in which we operate;

● our ability to increase the number of our strategic relationships and grow the revenues from our current strategic relationships;

● our ability to develop enhancements and new features to our existing service or acceptable new services that keep pace with technological developments;

● our ability to successfully launch new product platforms, including MARKET.live, the rate of adoption of these platforms and the revenue generated from these platforms;

● the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has had a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition;

● our ability to deliver our services, in light of our dependency on third-party Internet providers;

● our ability to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds to fund our operations and execute our business strategy, and the impact of these transactions on our business and existing stockholders;

● our ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel;

● our ability to pay our debt obligations as they become due;

● our susceptibility to security breaches and other disruptions; and

global economic, political, and social trends, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns.

The foregoing list may not include all of the risk factors that impact the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report. Our actual financial condition and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements as a result of various additional factors, including those discussed in the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”), as well as in the other reports we file with the SEC. You should read this Quarterly Report and the other documents we file with the SEC with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.

We operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual future results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors.

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Going Concern

WeThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have incurred operating losses since inceptionbeen prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and have negative cash flows from operations. We had a stockholders’ deficitthe settlement of $4,454,322 asliabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,849,474$21,391 and utilized $1,174,534used cash in operations of cash during the period then ended.$15,975. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability ofconcern within one year after the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. Thedate these financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, thewere issued. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, has raisedalso expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “January Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000 of newly issued shares (the “Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the January Purchase Agreement. In connection with the January Purchase Agreement, the Company is restricted from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein.

On January 12, 2022, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “January Note Purchase Agreement”) with three institutional investors (collectively, the “January Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300 in convertible notes due January 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “January Note Offering”). The Company and the January Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the January Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to the January Note Holders in substantially all of its assets. The January Note Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. The January Note Purchase Agreement also gives the January Note Holders the right to require the Company to use up to 15% of the gross proceeds raised from future debt or equity financings to redeem the Notes, which redemptions have been elected by the January Note Holders as described below.

On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, which provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of (i) 14,666,667 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase 14,666,667 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (the “April Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of this transaction, certain of the Company’s Series A warrants which previously had exercise prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10 per share had the exercise prices reduced to $0.75 per share. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the April Registered Direct Offering to repay $1,650 in principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the January Note Offering.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $921.

 

Our continuation asThe Company, through its Professional Employer Organization, filed for federal government assistance for the second and third quarters of 2021 in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,500 through Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has yet to receive the funds and accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effect of this credit.

Prior to September 30, 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) approved an additional loan of $350 which the Company expects to receive before the end of 2022.

On October 25, 2022, the Company entered into a going concernsecurities purchase agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”), which provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of (i) 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $0.32 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.34 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (the “October Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of this transaction, certain warrants which previously had an exercise price of $0.75 per share, had the exercise price reduced to $0.34 per share. Further, in connection with the October Purchase Agreement, the Company is dependentrestricted from (i) issuing or filing any registration statement to offer the sale of any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock until 75 days after the date thereof; and (ii) entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. As a result of this transaction, the Company paid $1,172 towards principal and accrued interest on our abilitythe Notes. The Company and the January Note Holders also agreed to obtain additionalinterest only payments with a final principal payment of $2,545 due on the maturity date.

On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “November Note Purchase Agreement”) and promissory note with an institutional investor (the “November Note Holder”) providing for the sale and issuance of an unsecured, non-convertible promissory in the original principal amount of $5,470, which has an original issue discount of $470, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,000 (the “November Note,” and such financing, until we canthe “November Note Offering”). The November Note matures eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing six months from the date of issuance, the Company is required to make monthly cash redemption payments in an amount not to exceed $600. The November Note may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires the Company to use 20% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material asset, to prepay the November Note, subject to a cap on the aggregate prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the November Note have been paid in full, the Company is not permitted to grant a security interest in any of its assets, or to issue securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, subject in each case to certain exceptions. verbMarketplace, LLC entered into a guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in connection with the November Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the November Note in exchange for receiving a portion of the loan proceeds.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flowsflow from operations to meet our obligations. We intend to continueoperate its business and pay its debt obligations as they become due, it will need to seek to raise additional capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of subsidiaries or assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or change its business strategy. However, in light of the restrictive covenants imposed by certain of the Company’s prior financing arrangements, in combination with the recent decline in the trading price of the Common Stock, the Company may be unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts when needed to operate its business, service its debt or equity financing to continue our operations. There isexecute on its strategic plans. Further, notwithstanding such restrictions, there can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available in the amounts, on terms, or at times deemed acceptable by the Company. The issuance of additional equity securities would result in significant dilution in the equity interests of the Company’s current stockholders and could include rights or preferences senior to us.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.

Significant estimates include accrualsassumptions made in analysis of reserves for allowance of doubtful accounts, inventory, assumptions made in purchase price allocations, impairment testing of long-term assets, realization of deferred tax assets, determining fair value of derivative liabilities, and valuation of equity instruments issued for services. Some of those assumptions can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services.

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

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

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

Subscription revenue from the application services is recognized over the life of the estimated subscription period. The Company also charges certain customers setup or installation fees for the creation and development of websites and mobile applications. These fees are accounted for as part of contract liabilities and amortized over the estimated life of the agreement. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer.

2.Non-digital revenue, which is revenue generated from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services provided as an accommodation to clients and customers. These services include design, printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to the customer. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a customer referral agreement with a third party for its cart site and printing business. Under the agreement, the Company earns a certain percentage for customer referrals and merchandise sales as well as cart site design fees, all of which will be recognized as non-digital revenue on a net basis.

The non-digital products sold by us are distinctly individual. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected as part of revenue, and the related costs are reflected in cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Historically, we have not experienced any significant payment delays from customers. The Company allows returns within 30 days of purchase from end-users. Customers may return purchased products under certain circumstances. Returns from customers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

Revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were substantially all generated from clients and customers located within the United States of America, though some utilize the Company’s applications outside the United States of America.

Cost of Revenue

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

Contract Liabilities

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

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal and external costs directly associated with developing internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license, during the application development stage of its projects. The Company’s internal-use software is reported at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization begins once the project has been completed and is ready for its intended use. The Company will amortize the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of three years, which is the estimated useful life. Software maintenance activities or minor upgrades are expensed in the period performed.

Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs are recorded in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Management reviews goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential liabilities, assumptions usedimpairment. Management reviews all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable.

As of September 30, 2022, management concluded that there were no impairment indicators. If economic uncertainty increases and/or the global economy worsens, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be sufficiently impacted to result in determiningfuture impairment charges in the short-term. Management will continue to monitor the effects that macroeconomic conditions have on its business and operations and will review impairment indicators to the extent necessary in the upcoming months.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

13

Derivative Financial Instruments

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

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

Share Based PaymentShare-Based Compensation

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

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

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees this is in the date of performance completion. Thesame period and manner as if the Company values stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.had paid cash for services.

Net Loss Per Share

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

As of September 30, 2017,2022, and 2021, the Company had total outstanding options of 5,252,119 and 5,528,405, respectively, outstanding warrants of 25,651,407 and 11,008,302, respectively, outstanding restricted stock units of 2,071,849 and 2,109,999, respectively, the Notes that are convertible into 1,209,610 and 0 shares at $3.00 per share, respectively, and convertible notes issued to a total of 22,030,953 optionsrelated party that are convertible into 808,900 and 24,461,413 warrants outstanding,742,278 shares at $1.03 per share, respectively, which were all excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive. anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position during the reported periods.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

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

The Company evaluates the concentration of credit risk associated with key customers. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had one customer that accounted for 11% of our revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our revenues.

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

As of September 30, 2016,2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our accounts receivable.

The Company also evaluates the concentration of risk associated with key vendors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had two vendors that accounted for 54% and 45% and 11% and 16%, respectively, of our purchases individually and 65% and 61% in the aggregate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had two vendors that accounted for 17% and 31% and 16% and 20%, respectively, of our purchases individually and 48% and 36% in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had one vendor that accounted for 42% and 40%, respectively, of accounts payable.

Reclassification Adjustment

The Company reclassified $2,288 from net cash used in investing activities to net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This amount is now reported as accrued software development costs in the supplemental non-cash investing and financing activities as part of the supplemental cash flow information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company had totalto use the if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of 11,593,333 optionsretained earnings. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and 16,449,734 warrants which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

Option to Acquire Primary Contractor

In August 2021, the Company entered into a term sheet that provided the Company the option to purchase the Primary Contractor provided certain conditions are met. In November 2021, the Company exercised this option. The Company and the Primary Contractor subsequently reached an agreement-in-principle on the terms for the Company’s acquisition of the Primary Contractor, the final consummation of which is subject to the execution of a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) and the completion of an audit of the Primary Contractor that is satisfactory to the Company (the “Primary Contractor Audit”), as well as the fulfillment by the Primary Contractor of certain other conditions set forth in the term sheet. The term sheet stipulates that if the Company had entered into the SPA and the Primary Contractor had the Primary Contractor Audit successfully completed prior to May 15, 2022 (or a subsequent mutually agreed upon date) and the Company thereafter determines not to consummate the acquisition of the Primary Contractor, the Company would have been liable for a $1,000 break-up fee payable to the Primary Contractor. However, as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the SPA has not been executed and the Primary Contractor Audit is ongoing. The parties are in discussions regarding the transaction. Based on the term sheet, the purchase price for the Primary Contractor would be $12,000, which can be paid in cash and/or stock, although the final terms of the acquisition will be set forth in the SPA. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed on the terms set forth in the term sheet or at all.

The note was unsecured, bore interest rate of 5% per annum and matured in May 2017. In addition, the Company also granted the noteholder a three-year warrant to acquire 176,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and 240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company recorded a debt discount totaling $53,659 to account for the origin original issue discount of $8,800, guaranteed interest of $12,500, relative fair value of the warrants of $10,759 and fair value of the common shares of $21,600. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the note. As of December 31, 2016, outstanding balance of the note amounted to $101,300 and unamortized debt discount of $48,942.

On June 7, 2017, the Company and the noteholder agreed to settle the entire note payable in exchange for the initial issuance of 462,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) with a fair value of $110,880 at the date of the agreement. In the event the noteholder does not realize sufficient proceeds through sales of the Shares, in accordance with the terms set forth herein, to equal $92,400, after deduction of reasonable sale transaction-related expenses, the Company agrees to issue additional shares to make up the deficiency or to pay such deficiency in cash, at the Company’s option. The Parties agree that this “Make Whole” provision shall expire and be of no further force and effect on the date the sum of net proceeds realized from the sale of the initial issuance of 462,000 shares is equal to or great than $92,400; or any deficiency is paid in cash by the Company at its option; or June 7, 2018, whichever occurs first.

As a result of this agreement, during the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized the remaining debt discount of $48,942 and settled the entire note payable of $101,300 in exchange for 1,026,195 shares of common stock with a fair value of $181,845. The Company recognized a loss of $80,545 to account the difference between the fair value of the common shares issued and the balance of the note payable.

(c)Effective September 26, 2017, we entered into the Purchase Agreement, dated September 15, 2017, with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company may from time to time, in our discretion, sell shares of our common stock to Kodiak for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Unless terminated earlier, Kodiak’s purchase commitment will automatically terminate on the earlier of the date on which Kodiak shall have purchased our shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000, or September 15, 2019. We have no obligation to sell any shares under the Purchase Agreement.

As provided in the Purchase Agreement, we may require Kodiak to purchase shares of common stock from time to time by delivering a put notice (“Put Notice”) to Kodiak specifying the total number of shares to be purchased (such number of shares multiplied by the Purchase Price described below, equals the “Investment Amount”); provided there must be a minimum of ten trading days between delivery of each Put Notice. We may determine the Investment Amount provided that such amount may not be less than $25,000. Our ability to issue Put Notices to Kodiak and require Kodiak to purchase our common stock is not contingent on the trading volume of our common stock. Kodiak will have no obligation to purchase shares under the applicable Purchase Agreement to the extent that such purchase would cause Kodiak to own more than 9.99% of our then-issued and outstanding common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

For each share of our common stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement, Kodiak will pay a Purchase Price equal to 80% of the Market Price. The Market Price is defined as the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) on the principal trading platform for the Common Stock, as reported by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”), for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing request date (each, a “Closing Request Date”) associated with the applicable Put Notice (the “Valuation Period”). Kodiak’s obligation to purchase shares is subject to customary closing conditions, including without limitation a requirement that this registration statement remain effective registering the resale by Kodiak of the shares to be issued under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Statement”).

As a result of this agreement, on September 26, 2017, the Company issued a note payable to Kodiak Capital Group, LLC amounting to $110,000 in exchange for cash of $100,000 and an original issue discount of $10,000. The note is unsecured, matures on March 26, 2018 and bears interest rate of 5% per annum. In addition, the Company also granted Kodiak a five year, fully vested warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share. The fair value of the warrants at grant date was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.08 per share, life of 5 years; risk free interest rate of 1.87%; volatility of 229%, and dividend yield of 0%. As a result, the Company recorded a debt discount of $52,605 to account for the original issue discount of the note of $10,000 and the relative fair value of the warrants of $42,605. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the note.

In case of a default, the note may also be converted to shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share or 70% of the lowest trading price during the ten-trading-day period prior to the conversion date, whichever is lower. As the conversion of the note is subject to a default contingency, pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the Company will only account the beneficial conversion feature, if any, once the default contingency has been met or satisfied.

During the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $1,163 of the recorded debt discount. As of September 30, 2017, outstanding balance of the note amounted to $110,000 and unamortized debt discount of $51,442.

As part of the agreement with Kodiak, the Company also agreed to issue a promissory note amounting to $100,000 and warrants to purchase a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share and addition warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share once the Company’s Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective. As the issuance of the note payable is subject to a contingency, the Company will record the note payable once the contingency has been met or satisfied.

Total interest expense for notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $7,560 and $7,500 respectively. Total interest expense for notes payable for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $3,810 and $3,750, respectively.

Although the results of legal proceedings, disputes and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes it is not currently a party to any other legal proceedings, disputes or claims which, if determined adversely to the Company, would, individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Overview

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

Our Technology

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

Our Products

verbCRM combines the capabilities of CRM lead-generation, content management, and in-video ecommerce capabilities in an intuitive, yet powerful tool for both inexperienced as well as highly skilled sales professionals. verbCRM allows users to quickly and easily create, distribute, and post videos to which they can add a choice of on-screen clickable icons which, when clicked, allow viewers to respond to the user’s call-to-action in real-time, in the forward-lookingvideo, while the video is playing, without leaving or stopping the video. For example, our technology allows a prospect or customer to click on a product they see featured in a video and impulse buy it, or to click on a calendar icon in the video to make an appointment with a salesperson, among many other features and functionalities designed to eliminate or reduce friction from the sales process for our users. The verbCRM app is designed to be easy to use and navigate and takes little time and training for a user to begin using the app effectively. It usually takes less than four minutes for a novice user to create an interactive video from our app. Users can add interactive icons to pre-existing videos, as well as to newly created videos shot with practically any mobile device. verbCRM interactive videos can be distributed via email, text messaging, chat app, or posted to popular social media directly and easily from our app. No software download is required to view Verb interactive videos on virtually any mobile or desktop device, including smart TVs.

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

verbLIVE is a next-generation interactive live-stream platform with in-video ecommerce capabilities for sales reps that allows them to utilize a variety of novel sales-driving features, including placing interactive icons on-screen that appear on the screens of all viewers, providing in-video click-to-purchase capabilities for products or services featured in the live video broadcast, in real-time, driving friction-free selling. verbLIVE also provides the sales reps with real-time viewer engagement data and interaction analytics. verbLIVE is entirely browser-based, allowing it to function easily and effectively on all devices without requiring the host or the viewers to download software, and is secured through end-to-end encryption.

verbPULSE is a business/augmented intelligence notification-based sales enablement platform feature set that tracks users’ interactions with current and prospective customers and then helps coach users by telling them what to do next in order to close the sale, virtually eliminating the lack of skill, training and experience among sales reps from the selling process.

verbTEAMS is our interactive, video-based CRM for professional sports teams, small-and medium-sized businesses and solopreneurs. verbTEAMS also incorporates verbLIVE as a bundled application. verbTEAMS features self-sign-up, self-onboarding, self-configuring, content management system capabilities, user level administrative capabilities, and high-quality analytics capabilities in both mobile and desktop platforms that sync with one another. It also has a built-in one-click sync capability with Salesforce.

MARKET.live is akin to a virtual shopping mall, a centralized online destination where shoppers could explore hundreds, and over time thousands, of shoppable stores for their favorite brands, influencers, creators and celebrities, all of whom can host livestream shopping events from their virtual stores that can be seen by all shoppers at the virtual mall. Every store operator can host livestream events, even simultaneously, and over time we expect there will be thousands of such events, across numerous product and service categories, being hosted by people from all over the world, always on – 24/7 - where shoppers could communicate with the hosts and ask questions about products directly to the host in real-time through an on-screen chat visible to all shoppers. Shoppers can invite their friends and family to join them at any of the live shopping events to share the experience - to communicate directly with each other in real time, and then simply click on a non-intrusive - in-video overlay to place items in an on-screen shopping cart for purchase – all without interrupting the video. Shoppers can visit any number of other shoppable events to meet up and chat with friends, old and new, and together watch, shop and chat with the hosts, discover new products and services, and become part of an immersive entertaining social shopping experience. Throughout the experience, the shopping cart follows shoppers seamlessly from event to event, shoppable video to shoppable video, host to host, product to product.

27

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

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

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

MARKET.live is simply a platform; we hold no inventory, we take no inventory risk, and each vendor manages their own packing and fulfillment, as well as returns. Only vendors that have a demonstrated ability to manage inventory and fulfillment are selected to participate on MARKET.live.

As we continue onboarding vendors to the platform, we are seeing increased interest from product manufacturers seeking to embrace MARKET.live’s direct-to-consumer selling capabilities, cutting-out distribution channel partners in order to reduce costs and increase profitability. As the economy tightens, we expect that trend to accelerate.

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

MARKET.live is an entirely new platform, built wholly independently and separate from our verbLIVE sales platform, representing what we believe is the state of the art of shoppable video technology. Whereas verbLIVE is a sales tool for sales reps that subscribe either directly or through their principal to verbCRM or verbTEAMS, MARKET.live is a multivendor social shopping platform for retailers, brands, manufacturers, creators and influencers who seek to participate in an open market-style eco-system environment. More recently, we are beginning to see interest from existing verbLIVE clients who see the value of MARKET.live as a corporate communications tool for use in sales, marketing, lead-generation, training and recruitment initiatives.

We recently launched our “Creators on MARKET,” a new program that allows creators to monetize their content through livestream shopping and personalized storefronts on MARKET.live. The program is being marketed to video content creators across multiple social media channels. Through this new program, creators and influencers can choose the products they love from hundreds of brands and retailers on MARKET.live and offer their fans and followers those products through livestream shopping events broadcast live on MARKET.live and simulcast on the creators’ existing social platforms. They can also offer their favorite products through the Creators’ personally branded storefronts they can establish quickly and easily on MARKET.live. Depending on the products chosen, Creators can earn between 5% and 20% of their gross sales at no cost and no risk to the Creators selected to participate in the program.

With more than 12 million products from brands like Athleta, Best Buy, Target, Container Store, Banana Republic, GAP, Saks Off 5th, SSENSE, LOFT, DERMSTORE, INTERMIX, UNCOMMON GOODS, and many more, Creators can choose to feature their favorite products and promote and sell them to their fans and followers. All MARKET.live events are interactive so followers and fans can chat with the Creators in real time, as well as with one another, creating a more entertaining and engaging social shopping experience. When their interest level peaks, Creators’ fans and followers can click on the screen to buy the products. Creators accepted into the program are not required to make any investment in inventory, nor do they have the burden of managing fulfillment or shipping. The only requirement for them to remain in the program is for them to continue to create and promote the same videos they’re already doing on YouTube and elsewhere online. Livestream events are recorded and available to watch in the Creators’ personally branded stores on MARKET.live for those fans and followers to return 24/7 after the livestream events to browse and purchase the Creators’ featured products, as the recorded livestream videos remain shoppable.

verbTV will launch as a feature of our MARKET.live platform, serving to draw an audience of people seeking to consume video content that is also interactive and shoppable. We expect this additional audience will also be exposed to and enhance the eco-system of shoppers and retailers on MARKET.live. Over time it is anticipated that verbTV will feature concerts, game shows, sports, including e-sports, sitcoms, podcasts, special events, news, including live events, and other forms of video entertainment that is all interactive and shoppable. verbTV represents an entirely new distribution channel for all forms of content by a new generation of content creators looking for greater freedom to explore the creative possibilities that a native interactive video platform can provide for their audience. We believe content creators may also enjoy greater revenue opportunities through the native ecommerce capabilities the platform provides to sponsors and advertisers who will enjoy real-time monetization, data collection and analytics. Through verbTV, sponsors and advertisers will be able to accurately measure the ROI from their marketing spend, instead of relying on imprecise viewership information traditionally offered to television sponsors and advertisers.

Verb Partnerships and Integrations

verbMAIL for Microsoft Outlook and Saleforce Integration of verbLIVE and verbTEAMS. verbMAIL is a product of our partnership with Microsoft and is available as an add-in to Microsoft Outlook for Outlook and Office 365 subscribers. verbMAIL allows users to create interactive videos seamlessly within Outlook by clicking the verbMAIL icon in the Outlook toolbar. The videos are automatically added to an email and can be sent easily through Outlook using the user’s contacts they already have in Outlook. The application allows users to easily track viewer engagement and together with other features represents an effective sales tool available for all Outlook users worldwide. We have completed and deployed the integration of verbLIVE into Salesforce and have a verbTEAMS sync application for Salesforce users. To date, adoption of these products has been low due in large part to management’s decision to reduce and deploy development and marketing resources to other areas of the Company’s business that it believes can generate a greater return on investment.

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

Non-Digital Products and Services

Historically, we provided certain non-digital services to some of our enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services. We designed and printed welcome kits and starter kits for their marketing needs and provided fulfillment services, which consisted of managing the preparation, handling and shipping of our client’s custom-branded merchandise they use for marketing purposes at conferences and other events. Due to COVID-19, we experienced a marked decline in non-digital services and associated revenue, as reflected in our current and historical financial statements, as our clients reduced or eliminated in-person conferences and other events. This reduction in non-digital services was nevertheless consistent with management’s strategy to exit this area of our business due to the low margin, high costs and limited scalability of this component of our business.

In furtherance of the strategy, in May 2020, we executed a contract with Range Printing (“Range”), a company in the business of providing enterprise class printing, sample assembly, warehousing, packaging, shipping, and fulfillment services. Pursuant to the contract, through an automated process we have established for this purpose, Range receives orders for samples and merchandise from us as and when we receive them from our clients and users, and print, assemble, store, package and ship such samples and merchandise on our behalf. The Range contract provides for a service fee arrangement based upon the specific services to be provided by Range that is designed to maintain our relationship with our clients by continuing to service their non-digital needs, while eliminating the labor and overhead costs associated with the provision of such services by us. Effective April 1, 2022, we expanded our relationship with Range when we entered into a customer referral agreement with them for our cart site and printing business. Under the agreement, we earn 10% commission for customers referrals, 8% on merchandise sales and certain cart site design fees which will all be recognized as non-digital revenue. Prior to entering into such agreement, we were recognizing revenues and cost of revenues associated with the non-digital business in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For these reasons, management has suggested that a more accurate measure of our performance is the historical growth of our SaaS and digital business and associated revenue, which has been the focus of our initiatives, while we have continued to exit the low margin, non-digital business. While the SaaS and digital business has grown year over year, that growth is not readily apparent when analyzing our top-line revenue because the total revenue represents the growing SaaS and digital business upon which we are focused, off-set by the declining non-digital business we are intentionally exiting.

Our Market

Historically, our client base consisted primarily of multi-national direct sales enterprises to whom we provide white-labeled, client-branded versions of our products. During the year ended December 31, 2021, our client base expanded to include large enterprises in the life sciences sector, professional sports franchises, educational institutions, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as clients in the entertainment industry, and the burgeoning CBD industry, among other business sectors. As of September 30, 2022, we provided subscription-based application services to approximately 150 enterprise clients for use in over 100 countries and in over 48 languages. Since inception, we have had more than 3.4 million downloads of our verbCRM applications across all of the white-labelled versions created for clients on our platform.

Revenue Generation

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

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

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

2.Non-digital revenue, is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation to our clients and customers. These services include design, printing, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to customers. Effective April 1, 2022, we entered into a customer referral agreement with Range for our cart site and printing business. Under the agreement, we earn 10% commission for customer referrals and 8% on merchandize sales and certain cart site design fees, all of which are recognized as non-digital revenue on a net basis.
3.MARKET.live, launched at the end of July 2022, generates revenue through several sources as follows:

a.All sales run through our ecommerce facility on MARKET.live from which we deduct a platform fee that ranges from 10% to 35% of gross sales, with an average of approximately 15%, depending upon the pricing package the vendors select as well as the product category and profit margins associated with such categories. The revenue is derived from sales generated during livestream events, from sales realized through views of previously recorded live events available in each vendor’s store, as well as from sales of product and merchandise displayed in the vendors’ online stores, all of which are shoppable 24/7.
b.Produced events. MARKET.live offers fee-based services that range from full production of livestream events, to providing professional hosts and event consulting.
c.The MARKET.live site is designed to incorporate sponsorships and other advertising based on typical industry rates.

Economic Disruption and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Our business is dependent in part on general economic conditions. Many jurisdictions in which our customers are located and our products are sold have experienced and could continue to experience unfavorable general economic conditions, such as inflation, increased interest rates and recessionary concerns, which could negatively affect demand for our products. Under difficult economic conditions, customers may seek to cease spending on our current products or fail to adopt our new products. We cannot predict the timing or impact of an economic slowdown, or the timing or strength of any economic recovery. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Governments and businesses around the world continue to take actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Despite increased vaccine distribution programs and loosening of COVID-19 related restrictions in the regions in which we operate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, both the pandemic and ongoing containment and mitigation measures have had, and are likely to continue to have, an adverse impact on the global and U.S. economies, the severity and duration of which are uncertain. As such, our business, operations and financial condition has been, and we anticipate will continue to be, adversely impacted by reduced demand for our applications and non-digital services, as well as reduced access to capital. To mitigate the adverse impact COVID-19 may have on our business and operations, we implemented a number of measures to strengthen our financial position, including eliminating, reducing, or deferring non-essential expenditures. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, financial conditions, and results of operations in the future remains uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors, including but not limitedthe duration and extent of the pandemic, the emergence of variants to COVID-19 the duration and extent of imposed or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the extent, duration, and effective execution of government stabilization and recovery efforts, including those set forth belowfrom the successful distribution of effective vaccines.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have long-term effects on the nature of the office environment and remote working. This may present operational and workplace culture challenges that may adversely affect our business. Throughout the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have encouraged safe practices designed to stem the infection and spread of COVID-19 within our workforce and beyond and to maintain the mental health and well-being of our employees.

We continue to actively communicate with and listen to our customers to ensure we are responding to their needs in the section entitled “Risk Factors”current environment with innovative solutions that will not only be beneficial now but also over the long-term. We monitor developments related to COVID-19 and remain flexible in this quarterly report, which you should carefully read. Given those risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should be prepared to accept any and all of the risks associated with purchasing any securities of our company, including the possible loss of all of your investment.

The table below sets forth our financial statements,quarterly revenues from the three months ended September 30, 2020 through the three months ended September 30, 2022, which reflects the trend of revenue over the past nine fiscal quarters (in thousands):

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $0.7 million, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a 32% decline. The decrease in cost of revenue is primarily attributed to a decrease in non-digital costs partially offset by increased digital costs to support additional enterprise customers on the platform and increased users within our existing customer base.

Gross Margin

Total gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $1.5 million, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing a decline in our other digital and non-digital revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our digital gross margin was 71% and non-digital gross margin was 9%. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue improved as a result of our strategy to focus on higher margin digital revenue and systematic reduction in non-digital revenue.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a 61% reduction. Research and development expenses primarily consisted of sums paid to employees and vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology. As our products move from research and development stage to operating stage, we haveexpect our research and development cost reductions to continue, as experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributed to amortization of capitalized software development costs associated with our MARKET.live platform.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $7.0 million as compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to MARKET.live costs of $1.1 million which includes $0.4 million for professional services, $0.4 million for other MARKET.live related cost, and $0.2 million for labor costs. Excluding MARKET.live costs, our general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million or 4% on a quarter over quarter basis.

Other expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $0.4 million, which was primarily attributable to interest expense of $0.6 million, offset by a decrease in the change in the fair value of derivative liability of $0.2 million.

Revenue

SaaS recurring subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 80%, compared to 63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our total digital revenue was 87% of total revenue compared with 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Total digital revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $6.3 million, an increase of 6% compared to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven from SaaS recurring subscription-based revenue associated with our verbCRM, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, verbLEARN, and verbPULSE applications totaling $5.8 million, an increase of 19% compared to $4.9 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Total non-digital revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $1.0 million compared to $1.9 million, a decrease of 49% reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which is consistent with the Company’s strategy to exit the low margin printing, fulfillment, and shipping aspects of the legacy business to focus on digital revenue streams.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses were $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a 55% reduction. Research and development expenses primarily consisted of sums paid to employees and vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributed to amortization of our capitalized software development costs associated with our MARKET.live platform.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $20.6 million, as compared to $20.0 million for the same period in 2021, representing a 3% increase. This increase was primarily due to MARKET.live costs of $1.6 million, which includes $0.6 million of labor costs, $0.5 million for professional services, and $0.5 million of other MARKET.live related expenses. Excluding MARKET.live costs, our general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.1 million year over year or 5%.

Other income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $0.4 million, which was primarily attributable to a change in the fair value of derivative liability of $2.4 million, offset by interest expense of $2.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures – Modified EBITDA

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

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

The preparation$1.7 million or 25% increase in Modified EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, resulted from decreases in cost of revenue and research and development costs, offset by an increase in labor related costs to support future growth.

The $4.9 million or 24% increase in Modified EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, resulted from increased revenues, decreases in cost of revenue, research and development, and professional services, offset by an increase in labor related costs to support future growth.

We present Modified EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Modified EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; and in making compensation decisions and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Modified EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following:

Modified EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Modified EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Modified EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Modified EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. We incurred a net loss of $21.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements were issued. We also utilized cash in operations of $16.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As a result, our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing until we can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, has also expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing, as well as certain strategic opportunities to continue our operations.

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “January Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50.0 million of newly issued shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the January Purchase Agreement. In connection with the January Purchase Agreement, we are restricted from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein.

On January 12, 2022, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “January Note Purchase Agreement”) with three institutional investors (collectively, the “January Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6.3 million in Convertible Notes Due 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “January Note Offering”). The Company and the January Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the January Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to the January Note Holders in substantially all of its assets. The January Note Purchase Agreement prohibits us from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. The January Note Purchase Agreement also gives the January Note Holders the right to require the Company to use up to 15% of the gross proceeds raised from future debt or equity financings to redeem the Notes, which redemptions have been elected by the January Note Holders as described below.

On April 20, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, which provides for the sale and issuance by us of an aggregate of (i) 14,666,667 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase 14,666,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $11.0 million before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (the “April Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of this transaction, certain warrants which previously had exercise prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10 per share had the exercise price reduced to $0.75 per share. We used a portion of the proceeds from the April Registered Direct Offering to repay $1.6 million in principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the January Note Offering.

We, through our Professional Employer Organization, filed for federal government assistance for the second and third quarters of 2021 in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.5 million through Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2022, we have yet to receive the funds and accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effect of this credit.

Prior to September 30, 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) approved an additional loan of $0.35 million which we expect to receive before the end of 2022.

On October 25, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”), which provides for the sale and issuance by us of an aggregate of (i) 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.32 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.34 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.0 million before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (the “October Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of this transaction, certain warrants which previously had an exercise price of $0.75 per share had the exercise price reduced to $0.34 per share. Further, in connection with the October Purchase Agreement, we are restricted from (i) issuing or filing any registration statement to offer the sale of any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock until 75 days after the date thereof; and (ii) entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. As a result of this transaction, we paid $1.2 million towards principal and accrued interest on the Notes. We and the January Note Holders agreed to interest only payments with a final principal payment of $2.5 million due on the maturity date.

On November 7, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “November Note Purchase Agreement”) and promissory note with an institutional investor providing for the sale and issuance of an unsecured, non-convertible promissory in the original principal amount of $5.5 million, which has an original issue discount of $0.5 million, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $5.0 million (the “November Note,” and such financing, the “November Note Offering”). The November Note matures eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing six months from the date of issuance, we are required to make monthly cash redemption payments in an amount not to exceed $0.6 million. The November Note may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires us to make estimatesuse 20% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material asset, to prepay the November Note, subject to a cap on the aggregate prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the November Note have been paid in full, we are not permitted to grant a security interest in any of its assets, or to issue securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, subject in each case to certain exceptions. Our wholly owned subsidiary verbMarketplace, LLC entered into a guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in connection with the November Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations on our behalf under the November Note in exchange for receiving a portion of the loan proceeds.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to operate our business and assumptionspay our debt obligations as they become due, we will need to seek to raise additional capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of subsidiaries or assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or change our business strategy. However, in light of the restrictive covenants imposed by certain of our prior financings and the recent decline in the price of Common Stock, we may be unable to raise additional capital when needed to operate our business or service our debt. Further, notwithstanding such restrictions, there can be no assurance that affectdebt or equity financing will be available in the reported amounts, on terms, or at times deemed acceptable by us. The issuance of assetsadditional equity securities would result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders and could include rights or preferences senior to those the current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and potentially impose significant operational or financial restrictions. If we are unable to obtain financing in the disclosureamounts and on terms deemed acceptable, we may be unable to continue to operate our business or pay our obligations as they become due and as a result may be required to curtail or cease operations, which may result in stockholders or noteholders losing some or all of contingent assetstheir investment.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our Company’sThe condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,GAAP, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to valuation of the fair value of financial instruments, share based compensation arrangements and long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.

Significant estimates include assumptions made for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, assumptions made in valuing assets acquired in business combinations, impairment testing of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the valuevaluation allowance for deferred tax assets, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions used in valuing share-based compensation, and accruals for potential liabilities. Some of share based payments. Amountsthose assumptions can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially changefrom those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services.

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

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

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

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

2.Non-digital revenue, which is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation to our clients and customers. These services includes design, printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to the customer. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a customer referral agreement with a third party for its cart site and printing business. Under the agreement, the Company earns a certain percentage for customer referrals and merchandise sales as well as earn cart site design fees, all of which are recognized as non-digital revenue on a net basis.

Long-Lived AssetsDerivative Financial Instruments

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

We use Level 2 inputs for our valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a Binomial pricing model. Our derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value when available,at each period end, with any increase or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and isdecrease in the fair value being recorded in the period in which the determination is made. No impairmentresults of long-lived assets was required for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Stock-Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.non-employees. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employeesits share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas theestimated fair value of the award, and is measured on the date of grant and recognized as expense over the vestingrequisite service period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the Company’snumber of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock option grantand is estimatedrecognized as expense over the service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for services.

39

Goodwill

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

Intangible Assets

We have certain intangible assets that were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer contracts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of domain names. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expectedstraight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years.

We review all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expensecarrying value of an asset group is recorded based uponnot recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess carrying value derived fromover the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions usedfair value in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.our consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

  For the Nine Months Ended 
  September 30,  September 30, 
  2017  2016 
Cash used in operating activities $(1,174,534) $(1,320,202)
Cash used in investing activities  -   (2,494)
Cash provided by financing activities  1,186,678   1,381,070 
Increase in cash $12,144  $58,374 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $1,174,534 compared to cash used in 2016 of $1,320,202. The change is due to an increase in business activity which resulted in an additional consulting, salary, and various operating expenses in 2017 compared to 2016. The net decrease is driven by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in 2017 versus 2016.

Our cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $1,186,678 which represented $470,000 of proceeds received from issuances of common stock, $555,000 of proceeds received from the issuance of convertible series A preferred stock, $200,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt, and $100,000 of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, offset by $138,322 of redemption payments against series A preferred stock. Our cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 amounted to $1,381,000 which represented $1,464,850 of proceeds received from common stock subscriptions, $82,446 of additional borrowings from our Chief Executive Officer offset by $166,226 of repurchases of the Company’s common stock.

As of September 30, 2017, we had cash of $28,906. We estimate our operating expenses for the next three months may continue to exceed any revenues we generate, and we may need to raise capital through either debt or equity offerings to continue operations.

We are in the early stages of our business. We are required to fund growth from financing activities, and we intend to rely on a combination of equity and debt financings. Due to market conditions and the early stage of our operations, there is considerable risk that our company will not be able to raise such financings at all, or on terms that are not overly dilutive to our existing shareholders. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds.

Going Concern

We have incurred operating losses since inception and have negative cash flows from operations. We had a stockholders’ deficit of $4,454,322 as of September 30, 2017 and incurred a net loss of $4,849,474 and utilized $1,174,534 in cash during the period ended. As a result, our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing until we can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations. We intend to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue our operations.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we may not continue to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until our Company begins generating positive cash flow.

There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

(a)On March 21, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with DelMorgan Group LLC (“DelMorgan”), pursuant to which DelMorgan agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor. In connection with the agreement, the Company paid DelMorgan $125,000, which was advanced by a third-party lender in exchange for an unsecured note payable issued by the Company bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly beginning on April 20, 2015.
Effective March 20, 2017, the Company entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with DelMorgan to extend the maturity date of the Note to March 20, 2018. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged.
(b)On December 15, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a buyer, whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Company, (i) a non-interest bearing Note in the original principal amount of $250,000, (ii) Warrants, and (iii) shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to 30% of the purchase price of the respective tranche divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of funding of the respective tranche (collectively, the “Inducement Shares”). The “Maturity Date” shall be six months from the date of each payment of Consideration. A one-time interest charge of five percent (5%) (“Interest Rate”) is to be applied on the Issuance Date to the original principal amount. In addition, there is a 10% Original Issue Discount that is to be prorated based on the consideration paid by the Buyer.

On December 16, 2016, the Buyer purchased for $80,000 the first tranche of the Note and the respective securities to be issued and the Company sold to it including (i) a three-year warrant to acquire 176,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and (ii) 240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On June 7, 2017, the Company converted the debt and issued the Buyer 462,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) with a fair value of $110,880 at the date of the agreement. In the event the Buyer does not realize sufficient proceeds through sales of the Shares, in accordance with the terms set forth herein, to equal $92,400, after deduction of reasonable sale transaction-related expenses, the Company agrees to issue additional shares to make up the deficiency or to pay such deficiency in cash, at the Company’s option. The Parties agree that this “Make Whole” provision shall expire and be of no further force and effect on the date the sum of net proceeds realized from the sale of the initial issuance of 462,000 shares is equal to or great than $92,400; or any deficiency is paid in cash by the Company at its option; or June 7, 2018, whichever occurs first. The buyer agrees not to sell more than 10 percent (10%) of the total weekly volume of FUSZ common shares traded in the United States domestic over-the-counter stock market in any one week. The Buyer agrees, that upon request of the Company, to provide trading records to the Company reflecting all sales of the Shares, within 1 (one) business days following such request.

As a result of this agreement, the Company issued a total of 1,026,195 shares of common stock with a fair value of $181,845 to settle the note payable.

(c)Effective September 26, 2017, we entered into the Purchase Agreement, dated September 15, 2017, with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company may from time to time, in our discretion, sell shares of our common stock to Kodiak for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Unless terminated earlier, Kodiak’s purchase commitment will automatically terminate on the earlier of the date on which Kodiak shall have purchased our shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000, or September 15, 2019. We have no obligation to sell any shares under the Purchase Agreement.

As provided in the Purchase Agreement, we may require Kodiak to purchase shares of common stock from time to time by delivering a put notice (“Put Notice”) to Kodiak specifying the total number of shares to be purchased (such number of shares multiplied by the Purchase Price described below, equals the “Investment Amount”); provided there must be a minimum of ten trading days between delivery of each Put Notice. We may determine the Investment Amount provided that such amount may not be less than $25,000. Our ability to issue Put Notices to Kodiak and require Kodiak to purchase our common stock is not contingent on the trading volume of our common stock. Kodiak will have no obligation to purchase shares under the applicable Purchase Agreement to the extent that such purchase would cause Kodiak to own more than 9.99% of our then-issued and outstanding common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

For each share of our common stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement, Kodiak will pay a Purchase Price equal to 80% of the Market Price. The Market Price is defined as the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) on the principal trading platform for the Common Stock, as reported by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”), for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing request date (each, a “Closing Request Date”) associated with the applicable Put Notice (the “Valuation Period”). Kodiak’s obligation to purchase shares is subject to customary closing conditions, including without limitation a requirement that this registration statement remain effective registering the resale by Kodiak of the shares to be issued under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Statement”).

Effective September 26, 2017, as a commitment fee under the Purchase Agreement for which we received no proceeds, we issued to Kodiak an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Commitment Note”), dated September 15, 2017, for the principal amount of $100,000 with interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable nine months from the issue date. The Purchase Agreement provides that in the event this Registration Statement is not effective by December 31, 2017, through no fault of ours, the Commitment Note shall be deemed cancelled, null and void, and of no further force and effect. In exchange for proceeds of $100,000, we issued to Kodiak an additional unsecured Promissory Note (the “First Note”), dated September 15, 2017 and effective September 26, 2017, in the principal amount of $110,000 with interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable six months from the issue date. Upon the filing of this Registration Statement, and in exchange for additional proceeds of $100,000, we issued to Kodiak an additional note (the “Second Note”) for the principal amount of $110,000 with interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable six months from the issue date. (the Commitment Note, the First Note, and the Second Note hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes”) The principal amount and accrued interest under the Notes are not convertible except in the event of default. In the event of default, the conversion price for the Notes shall be the lesser of $0.25 per share or 70% of the lowest trading price during the ten-trading-day period prior to the conversion date. Conversion of the Notes is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

24

CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

Effective February 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between an otherwise unaffiliated, accredited investor (the “Purchaser”) and the Company in connection with our issuance and sale to the Purchaser of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the terms and conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Sale”).

In connection with the Sale, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized and approved a series of preferred stock to be known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, for which 1,050,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share, were authorized and a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Certificate”), was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “State”) to effectuate the authorization. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock may occur in several tranches (each, a “Tranche”; and, collectively, the “Tranches”). The first Tranche of $300,000 ($315,000 in stated value, represented by 315,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock) closed simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on February 14, 2017 (the “First Closing”), and each additional Tranche shall close at such times and on such financial terms as may be agreed to by the Purchaser and us. The net proceeds to us after offering costs was $255,000.

The Series A PS has the following rights and privileges:

Senior rights in terms preference as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company;
Accrues dividends at a rate of 5% per annum;
Mandatorily redeemable at an installment basis starting August 13, 2017 in the amount of $63,000 plus accrued interest. The Company has the option to redeem the Series A shares in cash or in shares of common stock based upon the Company’s 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued in the First Closing are to be redeemed by us in five (5) equal weekly payments (each, a “Redemption Payment”), commencing in approximately 180 days from the First Closing. All but one of the Redemption Payments may be made by us in cash or in shares of our common stock, at our option. The Holder shall have the option to demand payment of one Installment Redemption Payment in shares of Common Stock Redemption Payments made using shares of our common stock will be valued based upon a VWAP formula, tied to the then-current quoted price of shares of our common stock, described with greater particularity in the Purchase Agreement.

The Company considered the guidance of ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity to determine the appropriate treatment of the Series A shares. Pursuant to ASC 480-10, the Company determined that the Series A shares is an obligation to be settled, at the option of the Company, in cash or in variable number of shares with a fixed monetary value that should be recorded as a liability under ASC 480-10. As a result, the Company determined the fair value of the Series A to be $300,000 upon issuance with the difference of $15,000 from the face amount, and incurred legal fees of $45,000, to be accounted as a debt discount which will be amortized over the term of the redemption period of the Series A shares. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a liability of $315,000 and a debt discount of $60,000, upon issuance.

On July 7, 2017, the Company issued 52,500 shares of Series A Preferred stock for cash proceeds of $50,000 (the “Second Closing”). As a result of this transaction the Company will record liability of $52,500 and a debt discount of $2,500 upon issuance.

On July 28, 2017, the Company has agreed to issue 262,500 shares of Series A Preferred stock for cash proceeds of $250,000. $125,000 was paid to the Company on July 28, 2017 (the “Third Closing”), and the remaining $125,000 was paid on September 1, 2017 (the “Fourth Closing”).

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

40

 

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.September 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017.2022 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterthree months ended September 30, 20172022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

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

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

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have one pending litigation filed on September 19, 2016. The actionFrom time to time, the Company is captioned as Multicore Technologies, an Indian Corporation, plaintiff, v. Rocky Wright, an individual, bBooth, Inc.,involved in various legal proceedings, disputes or claims arising from or related to the normal course of its business activities. Although the results of legal proceedings, disputes and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes it is not currently a Nevada corporation, and Blabeey, Inc, a Nevada corporation, defendants. The action is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California under Case No.: 2:16-cv-7026 DSF (AJWx). The First Amended Complaint was filed on January 27, 2017, alleging breach of Implied-in-fact Contract and Quantum Meruit relatingparty to services Multicore allegedly performed on behalf of bBooth in connection with various web and mobile applications.

We know of no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to our company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our company or any of our subsidiaries.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock and warrants involves risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the information in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained within this Quarterly Report. In addition, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 Annual Report, as well as in our other public filings with the SEC. If any of the identified risks are realized, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock and the value of our warrants may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition, other risks of which we are currently unaware, or which we do not currently view as material, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 Annual Report during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Risks Related to Our Business

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

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

Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations, significantly reduce operating expenses, attain operating efficiencies, and obtain additional financing. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to operate our business and pay our debt obligations as they become due, we may need to seek to raise additional capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of subsidiaries or assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or change our business strategy. There can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed acceptable to us, if at all. For example, in light of the restrictive covenants imposed by certain of our prior financing arrangements, in combination with the recent significant decline in the market price of our common stock, we may be unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts when needed to operate our business, service our debt, or executive on our strategic plans. Further, the issuance of additional equity securities would result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders and could include rights or preferences senior to those of the current stockholders. Borrowing additional funds would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and potentially impose significant operational or financial restrictions and require us to further encumber our assets. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, we may be unable to continue to operate our business or pay our obligations as they become due, and as a result may be required to curtail or cease operations, which may result in stockholders or warrant holders losing some or all of their investment. For additional information, please refer to the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Going Concern,” as well as Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report.

42

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

The market price of our common stock has experienced a significant recent decline, and may continue to fluctuate in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

volatility in the trading markets generally and in our particular industry or market segment;
perceptions among current and prospective customers regarding our financial stability and ability to raise additional financing;
perceptions among market participants regarding our ability to continue as a going concern;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections, and our failure to meet those projections;
announcements regarding our business or the business of our customers or competitors;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles;
actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or our offerings, or third-party proprietary rights;
announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
any major change in our board of directors or management;
sales of shares of our common stock by us or by our stockholders;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us;
macroeconomic factors, including those relating to recessionary concerns, increasing interest rates, rising inflation and changes in consumer confidence; and
other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or responses to these events.

Statements of, or changes in, opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which we operate or expect to operate could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market as a whole, as well as our particular market segment, has from time-to-time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which may affect the market price for the securities of many companies, and which often have appeared unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Any of these factors could negatively affect our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of common stock at the time and price they desire.

None.Note Financing Transaction

On November 7, 2022, Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor purchased an unsecured, non-convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $5,470,000 (the “Note Offering”).

The Note bears interest at 9.0% per annum compounded daily. The maturity date of the Note is 18 months from the date of its issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The Note carries an original issue discount of $450,000, which is included in the principal balance of the Note. If the Company elects to prepay the Note prior to the Maturity Date, it must pay to the Investor 110% of the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elects to prepay.

Commencing on the date that is six months after the issuance date of the Note, the Investor has the right to redeem up to $600,000 of the outstanding balance of the Note per month (“Redemption Amount”) by providing written notice to the Company (a “Redemption Notice”). Upon receipt of any Redemption Notice, the Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Amount in cash to the Investor within three (3) trading days of the Company’s receipt of such Redemption Notice. No prepayment premium shall be payable in respect of any Redemption Amount.

The Note requires the Company to use 20.0% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material asset, to prepay the Note, subject to a maximum aggregate prepayment amount as described in the Note.

In connection with the Note Offering, verbMarketplace, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Note in exchange for receiving a portion of the proceeds.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor. Also, until amounts due under the Note are paid in full, the Company agreed, among other things, to: (i) timely make all filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) ensure the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) continues to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, (iii) ensure trading in the Common Stock will not be suspended or otherwise cease trading on the Company’s principal trading market, (iv) prohibit the Company from making any Restricted Issuance (as defined in the Note) without Investor’s prior written consent, (v) prohibit the Company from entering into any agreement or otherwise agree to any covenant, condition, or obligation that restricts it from entering into certain additional transactions with the Investor, and (vi) with the exception of any transaction involving Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), prohibit the Company from pledging or granting a security interest in any of its assets without Investor’s prior written consent.

Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC served as the sole placement agent for the transaction and received $300,000 in the aggregate.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Note are summaries, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Note, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Quarterly Report.

Nasdaq Compliance Extension

On November 9, 2022, the Company received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) indicating that the Company has been granted an additional 180-calendar-day period, or until May 8, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

Nasdaq’s determination was based on (i) the Company having met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the sole exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the Company’s written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the compliance period, including by potentially effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If, at any time during this additional compliance period, the closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by May 8, 2023, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted, provided that the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel of Nasdaq at that time.

The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider various options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement before May 8, 2023.
