1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our Business

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

Through June 13, 2023 of the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company operated three distinct lines of business through separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company isfirst was Verb Direct, LLC, a sales Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) applications platform developer that offers three platforms, each designed for a specific target customer. Its SaaS platform for the direct sales industry; the second was Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, which was a sales SaaS platform for the Life Sciences industry and sports teams; and the third is comprised ofverbMarketplace, LLC, which operates MARKET.live, a suite of interactive video-based sales enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Available in both mobile and desktop versions, its base SaaS product is verbCRM, a Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) application, to which the Company’s clients can add a choice of enhanced, fully integrated application modules that include verbLEARN, our gamified Learning Management System application; verbLIVE, a Live Stream interactive eCommerce application; and verbPULSE, a business/augmented intelligence notification and sales coach application. verbTEAMS is a standalone, self-onboarding, video-based CRM and content management application for life sciences companies, professional sports teams, small businesses, and solopreneurs, with seamless one-button synchronization with Salesforce, that also comes bundled with verbLIVE. MARKET.live is the Company’s multi-vendor, multi-presenter, livestreammultivendor social shopping platform that combines ecommercefor retailers, brands, manufacturers, creators, influencers and entertainment.entrepreneurs who seek to participate in an open market-style eco-system environment.

The Company also provides certain non-digital services to some of its enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services.Background

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

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

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

On June 13, 2023, the Company disposed of all of its operating SaaS assets of Verb Direct and Verb Acquisition, (referred to collectively as the “SaaS Assets”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement in consideration of the sum of $6,500, $4,750 of which was paid in cash by the buyer at the closing of the transaction. Additional payments of $1,750 will be paid by the buyer if certain profitability and revenue targets are met within the next two years as set forth more particularly in the asset purchase agreement. The sale of the SaaS Assets was undertaken to allow the Company to focus its resources on its burgeoning MARKET.live business unit which it expects over time will create greater shareholder value.

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 directly with the hosts in real time to comment or ask questions about products featured in the livestream through an on-screen chat visible to all shoppers. Through the on-screen chat, shoppers can also communicate directly with each other in real time, invite their friends and family to join them at any of the live shopping events to share the experience, 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, store to store and product to product.

Among the big differentiators for MARKET.live is that it allows anyone that streams on MARKET.live to simultaneously broadcast their stream (multi-cast or simulcast) over most popular social media sites to reach a substantially larger audience, which is especially attractive for creators and influencers that have large numbers of followers on other social media platforms.

A very compelling new feature recently developed for MARKET.live allows shoppers watching the stream on TikTok to stay on that site and actually check out through that site, eliminating the friction or reluctance of users to leave their TikTok feed in order to complete their purchase on MARKET.live. Our technology integration allows the purchase data to flow back through MARKET.live and to the individual vendors and stores on MARKET.live seamlessly for fulfillment of the orders.

Last fall the Company launched its “Creators on MARKET.live,” a program that allows creators to monetize their content through livestream shopping and personalized storefronts on MARKET.live. This program is only open to those individuals with a large, verifiable social media following. Participants selected for the Creators on MARKET.live program can choose to feature their favorite products from MARKET.live stores and promote and sell them to their fans, followers and customers. The Company has recently launched a similar program on TikTok for TikTok creators and influencers.

The Company has also recently launched a drop ship program on MARKET.live, offered on a subscription basis, designed specifically for those individuals interested in starting their own ecommerce business, who do not yet have a large base of fans or followers. Through this new program, entrepreneurs can quickly and easily establish their own storefronts, essentially their own website, by choosing the products they love from a carefully curated list of products by category (based on their selected subscription package). They can easily import the products into their storefront and launch their own ecommerce business through livestream shopping events broadcast live on MARKET.live and simulcast on other social platforms. Subscribers do not have to purchase inventory and product fulfillment is handled for them for no additional cost. This program represents a very low cost, low risk option for those who want to start their own ecommerce business. The Company is planning a national television commercial campaign to promote this new program.

All livestream events are recorded and available to watch in each vendors’ personally branded stores on MARKET.live for those fans, followers and customers to return after the livestream events, 24/7, to browse and purchase any of the featured products. All the recorded livestream videos are indexed for easy browsing and remain shoppable. Depending on the products chosen, participants in the Creator program 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. Entrepreneurs that participate in the dropship programs will pay a fixed monthly fee for access to the products in the program and to maintain their MARKET.live ecommerce storefronts and will also earn a percentage of the sales they generate, which varies based on the subscription package.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $5,51411,957 and used cash in continuing operations of $2,9186,619. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. As a result, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until the Company can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations. The Company intends to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue its operations.

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $3,790918.

Equity financing:

On January 24, 2023, the Company issued 901,275 shares of the Company’s common stock which resulted in proceeds of $6,578, net of offering costs of $622.

During September 2023, the Company restarted its’ at-the-market (“ATM”) issuance sales agreements with Truist Securities, Inc. pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252167). As of September 30, 2023, the Company has issued 105,300 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to this agreement, resulting in proceeds of $50, net of offering costs of $27. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company issued 6,498,591 shares of its common stock and received $2,086 of net proceeds associated with ATM issuances.

Debt financing:

On January 12, 2022, the Company 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. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid $4,950 in principal payments and $357 of accrued interest to January Note Holders pursuant to the terms of the Notes. On January 26, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance of $1,350 and $208 of accrued interest under the January Note Offering dated January 12, 2022.

In September 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration approved a loan of $350, which, as of May 22,November 10, 2023, the Company has not received these funds.

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 note 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, the “November Note Offering”). The November Note matures eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing sixNine 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 up to 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 $2,000 cap on the aggregate prepayment amount.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. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the November Notes amounted to $

5,470.

On May 16, 2023, the Company received a redemption notice under the terms of the November Note Purchase Agreement for $300. The Company missed two payments resulting in a Payment Failure Balance Increase of 10% on the outstanding principal balance per occurrence pursuant to the terms of the agreement totaling $1,205. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.These costs have been recorded as finance costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid $375 in cash and $4,092 in shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the November Notes amounted to $2,647 and $5,544, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company issued 2,040,922 shares of its common stock pursuant to an exchange agreement in exchange for a reduction of $655 on the outstanding balance of the November Notes.

On February 16, 2023, the Company modified and combined the unpaid balances of the previous two advances on future receipts with a new advance from the same third party totaling $1,550 for the purchase of future receipts/revenues of $2,108, resulting in a debt discount of $558. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance of the note was $1,811269 and is being repaid by making daily payments of $10 on each banking day with a scheduled maturity date of December 14, 2023.November 7, 2023. The amounts related to this financing agreement have been reclassified to liabilities of discontinued operations for purposes of presenting discontinued operations. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company repaid all of the advances on future receipts.

Other:

The Company, through its Professional Employer Organization, filed for federal government assistance for the second and third quarters of 2021 in the aggregate amount of $1,528 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 March 31,September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had a receivable of $1,528 as the amended payroll tax returns have been filed with the IRS related to the quarterly periods ending June 2021 and September 2021. Due to the uncertain timing of the receipt of this receivable, it is being classified as a long-term asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31,September 30, 2023.

In November 2022, a cost savings plan was approved and implemented to improve liquidity and preserve cash for operations (the “Cost Savings Plan”). This plan was expected to further reduce expenses moving forward through such actions as a reduction in force, elimination of certain services provided by various vendors, and a 25% reduction in cash compensation by senior management over a four-month period in exchange for shares of common stock. Subsequently, the Company extended the Cost Savings Plan through April 30, 2023.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to operate 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 execute on its strategic plans. Further, notwithstanding such restrictions, there can be no assurance 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 those of the current stockholders. Borrowing additional funds would increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments and potentially impose significant operational or financial restrictions and require the Company to further encumber its assets. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the Company may be unable to continue to operate its business or pay its 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 their investment.

Economic Disruption

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, which could negatively affect our financial performance. We cannot predict the timing or magnitude 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”).2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

On April 18, 2023, we implemented a 1-for-40 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Our Common Stock commenced trading on a post Reverse Stock Split basis on April 19, 2023. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every forty (40) shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities were also reduced by a factor of forty and the exercise price of such securities increased by a factor of forty, as of April 18, 2023. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout our condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this Quarterly Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The par value per share of our Common Stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

On June 10, 2023, the board of directors approved the sale of the SaaS Assets to an unrelated third party, SW Direct Sales LLC (“SW Sales” or the “buyer”), for $6,500 with $4,750 cash proceeds paid by buyer upon closing of the transaction. Additional payments of $1,750 will be paid by the buyer if certain profitability and revenue targets are met within the next two years. The contingent payments were not recorded at the closing date of the sale, rather will be recognized as the cash is received and the contingency resolved pursuant to ASC 450-30.

Accordingly, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are being presented pursuant to ASC 360-10-45-9 which requires that a disposal group be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the held for sale criteria are met. Accordingly, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been reclassified to reflect held for sale accounting. In addition to held for sale accounting, the Company has also met the criterion pursuant to ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, as a strategic shift from operating and managing a SaaS business to operating and managing a live streaming shopping platform has occurred because of the sale. The Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations. See Note 4 for details of the assets and liabilities related to the SaaS sale and discontinued operations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Direct, LLC, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, and verbMarketplace, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions 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. Amounts could materially change in the future.

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 revenueRevenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were derived primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services. TheDuring that period, the Company also derivesderived revenue from the sale of customized print products and training materials, branded apparel, and digital tools, as demanded by its customers. As a result of the sale of the SaaS business, revenue that was recorded historically from the SaaS business has been reclassified as part of discontinued operations. See Note 4 for revenue disclosures related to the SaaS business.

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

MARKET.live, launched at the end of July 2022, generates revenue through several sources as follows:

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

Revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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.

The following table provides information about contract liabilities from contracts with customers, including significant changes in the contract liabilities balance during the period:

SCHEDULE OF CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES

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.

Intangible Assets

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

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

In December 2022, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $440 on its indefinite-lived intangible assets that had been recognized as part of the Sound Concepts acquisition in 2019. The Company also recorded an impairment loss of $2 that had been recognized as part of the Solofire acquisition in 2020. As a result, the carrying amount of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets was reduced to $0 as of December 31, 2022.

The Company did notnot record any impairment charges related to finite-lived intangible assets during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023.

Goodwill

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

The Company’s annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, the Company reviewed events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of goodwill. As a result of this qualitative assessment, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred to necessitate performing the quantitative impairment test.

After performing the quantitative impairment test at December 31, 2022 in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3C, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired by $10,183. As a result of the impairment losses recognized, the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was reduced to $9,581 as of December 31, 2022.

On June 13, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of the operating assets and liabilities of the SaaS business to SW Sales for $6,500, including $4,750 of cash paid upon closing. The Company did not record any impairment chargesoperations of the SaaS business have been presented within discontinued operations. Upon completion of the sale of assets to SW Sales, in which the buyer assumed all liabilities related to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2023.SaaS business, the Company recorded an impairment of $5,441

within loss from discontinued operations as the carrying amount of the net assets exceeded the sale price, less selling costs.

Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock

On February 17, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Rory J. Cutaia, its Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one (1)(1) share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for $5 in cash. On April 20, 2023, the Company redeemed the Series B Preferred Stock for $5 in cash.

The Certificate of Designation setting for the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock provides that the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock will have 700,000,000 votes and will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as a single class exclusively with respect to any proposal to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company. The Preferred Stock will be voted, without action by the holder, on any such proposal in the same proportion, both For and Against, as the shares of common stock are voted. The Preferred Stock otherwise has no voting rights except as otherwise required by the Nevada Revised Statutes.

The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock has no rights with respect to any distribution of assets of the Company, including upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends of any kind.

The outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Boardboard of Directorsdirectors in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the effectiveness of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation implementing a reverse stock split and the increase in authorized shares of common stock of the Company. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events. 

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 its 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 (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

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

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the 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 Compensation

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

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 stock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company had total outstanding options of 131,0742,056,882 and 146,941131,303, respectively, and warrants of 951,804919,664 and 274,619641,285, respectively, and outstanding restricted stock awards of 25,297155,572 and 55,28851,796, respectively, the Notes from the January Note Offering that were convertible into 0 and 53,18330,240 shares at $120.00 per share, respectively, and convertible notes issued to a related party that were convertible into 21,31921,265 and 19,10220,223 shares at $41.20 per share, respectively, which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

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

The Company’s concentration of credit risk includes its concentrations from key customers and vendors. The details of these significant customers and vendors are presented in the following table for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022:

 SCHEDULE OF CONCENTRATION RISK

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our revenues individually and in the aggregate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and that adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements and the related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

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

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832)—Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 increases the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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