CLOUDCOMMERCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CloudCommerce, Inc. (“CloudCommerce,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of CloudCommerce is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Indaba Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Indaba”) and Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”). All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 are $6,333 and $10,493 respectively.
On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell the rights, with recourse, to accounts receiveable amounts due from our customers to Indaba. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may receive advances in amounts up to $400,000, based on the amounts we invoice our customers, for a period of one year. Because the Company maintains the collectability risk of all outstanding balances, we record the amounts due from customers as a secured borrowing arrangement, with the customer balances at fair value in accounts receivable, including an allowance for any balances at risk of collectability, and the amount due to the third party as a liability. On March 23, 2017, the Company amended the secured borrowing arrangement, which increased the maximum allowable balance by $100,000, to a total of $500,000. As of September 30, 2017, the balance due from this arrangement was $282,175.
On October 19, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell the rights, with recourse, to accounts receiveable amounts due from our customers to Parscale Digital. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may receive advances in amounts up to $500,000, based on the amounts we invoice our customers, for a period of one year. Because the Company maintains the collectability risk of all outstanding balances, we record the amounts due from customers as a secured borrowing arrangement, with the customer balances at fair value in accounts receivable, including an allowance for any balances at risk of collectability, and the amount due to the third party as a liability.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, long-lived assets, intangible assets, business combinations, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from professional services and site development fees. We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with ASC 605-45. We also offer professional services such as development services. The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-25, which are recognized as the work is performed. Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved. The terms of services contracts generally are for periods of less than one year. The deferred revenue and customer deposits as of September 30, 2017 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 was $821,171 and $632,134, respectively.
We always strive to satisfy our customers by providing superior quality and service. Since we typically bill based on a Time and Materials basis, there are no returns for work delivered. When discrepancies or disagreements arise, we do our best to reconcile those by assessing the situation on a case-by-case basis and determining if any discounts can be given. Historically, no significant discounts have been granted.
Included in revenue are costs that are reimbursed by our clients, including third party services, such as photographers and stylists, furniture, supplies, and the largest component, digital advertising. We have determined, based on our review of ASC 605-45, that the amounts classified as reimbursable costs should be recorded as gross, due to the following factors:
· | The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement; |
· | We have latitude in establishing price; |
· | We have discretion in supplier selection; and |
· | The Company has credit risk. |
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we included $669,628 and $0, respectively, in revenue, related to reimburseable costs.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were zero for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $6,844 and $48,358 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
· | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
· | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
8 |
· | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2017 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had no assets or liabilities that are required to be valued on a recurring basis.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Furniture, fixtures & equipment | 7 Years | |
Computer equipment | 5 Years | |
Commerce server | 5 Years | |
Computer software | 3 - 5 Years | |
Leasehold improvements | Length of the lease |
Depreciation expenses were $6,039 and $6,137 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at June 30, 2017, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
The Company operates in a single industry segment. The Company markets its services to companies and individuals in many industries and geographic locations. The Company’s operations are subject to rapid technological advancement and intense competition in the SAAS industry. Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk. The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its
9 |
enterprise customers and other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to terminate services.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of operations.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2017, included compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of September 30, 2017 based on the grant date fair value estimated. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, or has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $132,824 and $126,531, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Calculations
Income (Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The shares for employee options, warrants and convertible notes were used in the calculation of the income per share.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company has excluded 134,800,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, and 23,837,250 shares of common stock underlying $95,349 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company has excluded 123,000,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, and 22,187,250 shares of common stock underlying $88,749 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive
Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method if their effect would be dilutive.

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and no pronouncements were adopted during the period.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
Reclassification
Certain amounts at June 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation at September 30, 2017.

3. LIQUIDITY AND OPERATIONS
The Company had net loss of $356,071 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and net loss of $214,570 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and net cash used in operating activities of $603,405 and $166,416 for the same periods, respectively.
While the Company expects that its capital needs in the foreseeable future may be met by cash-on-hand and projected positive cash-flow, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate enough positive cash flow or have sufficient capital to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain equipment leases and other business financing. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain additional working capital through the private placement of common stock or from any other source.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception. It is management’s plan to generate additional working capital from increasing sales from its desktop and mobile service offerings, and then continue to pursue its business plan and purposes.
4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Parscale Digital, Inc.
On August 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Parscale Creative, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Creative”). As of that date, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), merged with Parscale Creative, and the name of the combined subsidiary was changed to Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $10,209,830, was paid in the form of the issuance of ninety thousand (90,000) shares of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share, plus $928,745 in dividend payments, based on 5% of adjusted revenue of Parscale Digital. Adjusted revenue is defined as total revenue, minus digital marketing media buys. As of the date of closing, Brad Parscale, the 100% owner of Parscale Creative, was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $10,209,830, which was the fair value of Parscale Creative at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Parscale Creative were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:
Cash | $ | 200,000 | ||
Deferred Revenue | (481,085 | ) | ||
Net tangible liabilities | (281,085 | ) | ||
Non-compete agreements | 476,661 | |||

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

6. CREDIT FACILITIES
Secured Borrowing
On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into a 12 month agreement with a third party to sell the rights to amounts due from our customers to Indaba, in exchange for a borrowing facility in amounts up to a total of $400,000. The agreement was amended on March 23, 2017, which increased the allowable borrowing amount by $100,000, to a maximum of $500,000. The proceeds from the facility are determined by the amounts we invoice our customers. The Company evalutated this facility in accordance with ASC 860, classifying it as a secured borrowing arrangement. As such, we record the amounts due from customers in accounts receivable and the amount due to the third party as a liability, presented as a “line of credit” on the Balance Sheet. The principal borrowed through this facility is secured by the accounts receivable balances, in addition to the other assets of the Company. During the term of this facility, the third party lender has a first priority security interest in the Company, and will, therefore, we will require such third party lender’s written consent to obligate the Company further or pledge our assets against additional borrowing facilities. Because of this position, it may be difficult for the Company to secure additional secured borrowing facilities. The cost of this secured borrowing facility is 0.05% of the daily balance. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company included $12,807 in interest expense, related to the secured borrowing facility, and as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the outstanding balance was $282,175 and $205,368, respectively.
7. NOTES PAYABLE
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company signed addenda to each of its outstanding convertible notes, fixing the conversion price at $0.004. Before the addenda, the conversion price for each of the notes was tied to the trading price of the Company’s common stock. Because of that fluctuation, the Company was required to report derivative gains and losses each quarter, which was included in earnings, and an overall derivative liability balance on the balance sheet. Since the addenda, the Company has eliminated the derivative liability balance on the balance sheet and discontinued the gain/loss reporting on the income statement.
On March 25, 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “March 2013 Note”) in the amount of up to $100,000, at which time an initial advance of $50,000 was received to cover operational expenses.

The terms of the March 2013 Note, as amended, allow the lender to convert all or part of the outstanding balance plus accrued interest, at any time after the effective date, at a conversion price of $0.004 per share. The March 2013 Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per year and matures on March 25, 2018. On May 23, 2014, the lender converted $17,000 of the $100,000 outstanding balance and accrued interest of $1,975 into 4,743,699 shares of common stock.

9. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Options
On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for directors, executive officers, and employees of and key consultants to the Company. Pursuant to the now terminated plan, the Company was authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan was administered by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and options granted under the plan could be either incentive options or nonqualified options. Each option was exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan or of any option agreement, each option expired on the date specified in the option agreement, which date was to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an incentive option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each incentive option was to be no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the fair market value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each nonqualified option was to be specified by the Board at the time the option is granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date such nonqualified option was granted, but was to be no less than the par value of shares of common stock. The plan provided specific language as to the termination of options granted thereunder.
The Company used the historical industry index to calculate volatility, since the Company’s stock history did not represent the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase 11,800,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of options granted during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, was determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions:
Quarter Ended | ||||
September 30, 2017 | ||||
Risk free interest rate | 5.00 | % | ||
Stock volatility factor | 397 | % | ||
Weighted average expected option life | 5 years | |||

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
21 |
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the following:
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when the product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from professional services and site development fees. We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with ASC 605-45. We also offer professional services such as development services. The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-25, which are recognized as the work is performed. Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved.
Accounts receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at June 30, 2017, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
22 |
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
· | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
· | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
· | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017, compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016.
REVENUE
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $1,294,325 to $2,386,999, compared to $1,092,674 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Parscale Creative, partially offset by a reduction in revenue at Indaba.
SALARIES AND OUTSIDE SERVICES
Salaries and outside services for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $346,454 to $1,219,260, compared to $872,806 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Parscale Creative, due to 45 additional employees added to payroll expense.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $927,983 to $1,178,155, compared to $250,172 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Parscale Creative, and the increase in costs to maintain an additional office in San Antonio.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock based compensation expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $6,293 to $132,824, compared to $126,531 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to additional stock options offered to employees.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $207,306 to $267,631, compared to $60,325 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to additional intangible assets amortized as a result of the Parscale Creative acquisition.
23 |
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Total other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $26,605 to net other expense of $24,015, compared to net other income of $2,590 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the utilization of a secured borrowing arrangement, resulting in higher interest expense.
NET LOSS
The consolidated net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $356,071, compared to the consolidated net loss of $214,570 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net loss for the period was primarily due to a reduction in revenue of Indaba and the increase in operating expenses from Parscale Digital.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a net working capital deficit (i.e. the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($1,397,073) at September 30, 2017 compared to a net working capital deficit of ($2,255,039) at fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $603,405 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $166,416 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash flow used in operating activities of $436,989 was primarily due to an increase in the Parscale Digital accounts receivable balance, partially offset by additional amortization expense of intangible assets.
Cash flow provided by investing activities was $199,503 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to cash flow provided by investing activities of $10,761 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash flow provided by investing activities of $188,742 was primarily due to the Parscale Creative acquisition, and the cash proceeds that resulted from the acquisition.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $480,407 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $117,266 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash flow provided by financing activities of $363,141 was due to additional borrowings under promissory notes.
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.
As a result of the recent economic recession, and the continuing economic uncertainty, it has been difficult for companies to obtain equity or debt financing. While the credit markets have improved over the last year, it remains difficult for smaller companies to obtain financing on reasonable terms.
Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities. The terms of the securities issued by us in future capital raising transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities which may have a further dilutive effect.
Furthermore, any additional debt or equity or other financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business. Further, we may not be able to continue operations if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations.
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weaknesses:
1. lack of segregation of duties; and
2. failure to implement accounting controls of acquired businesses.
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system 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. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017 has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or 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.
