NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2017

(unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

MobileSmith, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) was incorporated as Smart Online, Inc. in the State of Delaware in 1993. The Company changed its name to MobileSmith, Inc. effective July 1, 2013. The Company develops software products and services and targets businesses whose need is to connect with their stakeholders (customers, employees, broader public) through a variety of mobile devices and do so within the fastest time to market possible, while by-passing the need to write a single line of code. The Company’s flagship product is the MobileSmith® Platform (the “Platform”). The Platform is an innovative app development platform that enables organizations to rapidly create, deploy, and manage custom, native smartphone and tablet apps deliverable across iOS and Android mobile platforms without writing a single line of code.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, which was created to explore the concept of a consumer targeted mobile app development platform. From time to time, the Company may create additional wholly-owned subsidiaries in order to test various new services as a part of its research and development process. The subsidiary has not had material activity in 2017.

The Company’s principal products and services include:

●

Subscription to its Software as a Service ("SaaS") cloud based mobile app development platform to customers who design and build their own apps;

●

Dedicated internal and secure mobile development platform for the U.S. Department of Defense and related contractors;

●

Custom mobile application design and development services;

●

Mobile application marketing services; and

●

Mobile strategy implementation consulting.

The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures it normally includes in its audited annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2017. The Company’s interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 on file with the SEC (the “Annual Report”).

Except as otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred net losses as well as negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company evaluates new significant accounting pronouncements at each reporting period. For the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not adopt any new pronouncement that had or is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s presentation of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-9 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. Originally the Company planned to adopt the standard early. During the current period the Company concluded that costs of early adoption outweigh the anticipated benefits during the upcoming year and concluded that the adoption will take place with the period beginning on January 1, 2018, in compliance with the issued standards.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously in all such matters. In the opinion of management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the company cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any such litigation or investigatory matters or any other pending litigations or claims. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such lawsuits and investigations. The Company will record a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company periodically evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that it has previously accrued, if any, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters, and the Company’s judgment may be incorrect. The outcome of any proceeding is not determinable in advance. Until the final resolution of any such matters that the Company may be required to accrue for, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued, and such amounts could be material.

4. EQUITY AND EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

As of June 30, 2017, options to purchase 1,968,860 shares of Common Stock were granted under 2016 Equity Compensation Plan, in addition to 198,341 options granted under previous plans.

Forward-looking statements consist of, among other things, trend analyses, statements regarding future events, future financial performance, our plan to build our business and the related expenses, our anticipated growth, trends in our business, our ability to continue as a going concern, and the sufficiency of our capital resources including funds that we may be able to raise under our convertible note facility, our ability to raise financing from other sources and/or ability to defer expenditures, the impact of the liens on our assets securing amounts owed to third parties, expectation regarding competitors as more and larger companies attempt to market products/services competitive to our company, market acceptance of our new product offerings, including updates to our Platform, rate of new user subscriptions, market penetration of our products and expectations regarding our revenues and expense, all of which are based on current expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” variations of such words, and similar expressions also are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Readers are directed to risks and uncertainties identified under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and our subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC for factors that may cause actual results to be different than those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion is designed to provide a better understanding of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including a brief discussion of our business and products, key factors that impacted our performance, and a summary of our operating results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Annual Report. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.

Overview

We develop and market a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform that allows non-programmers to design and build native mobile applications for smartphones and tablets. Our flagship product is the MobileSmith® Platform (the “Platform”). Platform related services often include data integration, training and integration of third party services. We also provide consulting services, which include assistance with design and implementation of mobile strategy, implementation of mobile marketing strategy and the development of mobile apps. Revenue from such services is included in the Professional Services and Other Revenue line of our Statement of Operations. Delivery of Professional Services requires allocation of a portion of our research and development efforts into Cost of Revenue.

In our business model – the customers acquire access to the Platform through user subscription agreements and are able to obtain control of mobile app production. We often refer to our business model as platform-as-a-service ("PaaS"), because we not only offer cloud software to create mobile apps, we offer infrastructure to host the newly created mobile apps and back-office tools to manage those apps. Our Platform is a truly comprehensive offering and thus more accurately described by the PaaS model. In the industry and this report terms SaaS and PaaS may be used interchangeably as common reference to cloud computing model.

Our business model allows for creation and management of any desired number of apps by our customers for a monthly subscription fee. The on-demand PaaS model developed using multi-tenant architecture enables end users to visit a website and use the PaaS applications, all via a web browser, with no installation, no special information technology knowledge and no maintenance. The PaaS application is transformed into a service that can be used anytime and anywhere by the end user. Multi-tenant PaaS applications also permit us to add needed functionality to our applications in one location for the benefit of all end users. This capability allows us to provide upgrades universally.

During 2014, for the first time we installed our Platform in a local or a private cloud configuration for one of our government clients. Our Platform was safely placed behind the firewalls of a government department which would allow the organization to create and manage multiple mobile apps with targeted functionality for targeted audiences without going outside of the secure setting.

Target Market and Sales Channels

We identified several trends that are affecting our target market:

●

Mobile devices have transformed the way end-users interact with each other, and allow for new efficiencies for business to structure both customer and employee interactions;

●

Technology departments cannot keep up with the demand for the business transforming apps required by both operational business units and marketing departments;

●

Non-programmers have become accustomed to solving business problems with do-it-yourself (DIY) software technologies, such as website building, business process management, customer relationship management and others.

We believe that the do-it-yourself model for creation and management of apps will become a cost effective solution for enterprise clients who have an ever increasing need to interact with their customers and employees through mobile devices. Single apps may reach their limits of usability very quickly, if made complex. The Platform provides the subscriber with the capacity to create multiple, customized non-template apps with designated functionalities and specific designs without incurring additional costs.

Our market penetration strategy focuses on three distinct sectors:

Healthcare clients:

Healthcare organizations, such as hospitals and healthcare networks, follow departmental segmentation and focus on a specific territorial reach. Additionally, healthcare organizations are subject to increased regulation as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and may be subject to penalties for delivering inefficient care under new Medicare regulations.

Enterprise clients:

The second sector combines all other large and multi-national enterprise clients, where large-scale customization based on functionality or territory is of the highest value, and other contributors such as time to market, technology reach, and ease of use play important roles. These target clients may include large food chains, media and PR companies, software solutions providers, hardware manufacturers, mortgage brokers and real estate franchises.

Government:

We believe that the Platform has a unique capability to service various structures within federal, state and local governments, as government structure is highly segmented by function and territory. In addition, the Platform can be safely placed behind the firewalls of individual departments, where data security is a primary concern. Replicating the Platform and placing it behind a secure firewall would allow an organization to create and manage multiple mobile apps with targeted functionality for targeted audiences without going outside of the secure firewall.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 (the “2017 Period”) to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 (the “2016 Period”).

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Increase (Decrease)
	2017	2016	$	%
Revenue	638,941	498,323	140,618	28%
Cost of Revenue	156,063	144,227	11,836	8%
Gross Profit	482,878	354,096	128,782	36%

Sales and Marketing	285,860	325,450	(39,590)	(12%)
Research and Development	440,425	400,856	39,569	10%
General and Administrative	321,300	399,388	(78,088)	(20%)

Interest Expense	1,085,616	1,221,447	(135,831)	(11%)

Revenue increased by $140,618 or 28%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the recognition and recording of previously deferred revenues. Our revenues were previously impacted by one significant contract for which revenue recognition until the 2017 Period has been deferred in compliance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP") revenue recognition requirements for sale of software products and services. During the 2017 Period, revenue recognition criteria have been met and therefore, the Company commenced related revenue recognition in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.

Cost of Revenue increased by $11,836 or 8%, but overall Cost of Revenue was comparable between two periods. Period to period fluctuations take place due to composition of Customer Success team deliverables and services component of these deliverables.

Gross Profit increased by $128,782 or 36% and is primarily attributable to commencement of revenue recognition in the 2017 Period on a major contract as referred to above. Associated costs of delivery have been incurred and accrued in previous periods.

Sales and Marketing expense decreased by $39,590 or (12%). Such decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in volume of marketing campaigns as we re-evaluated our key marketing activities and strategy in the 2017 Period.

Research and Development expense increased by $39,569 or 10%. This increase is attributable to a decrease in relative amount of our research and development team's effort that was allocated to cost of revenue in the 2017 Period in comparison to 2016 Period. Certain service components of our customer agreements required dedicated time from our development team, and such effort was recorded as cost of revenue during the period such services were delivered.

General and Administrative expense decreased by $78,088 or (20%). Such decrease is primarily attributable to a bad debt expense recorded in the 2016 Period.

Interest Expense decreased by $135,831 or (11%). The cash part of interest expense increased by approximately $104,000 due to the increase in the face value of our convertible debt. The cash interest portion was offset by a decrease of approximately $231,000 in debt discount amortization as a result of the discount being amortized over additional two years attributable to the extension of the maturity date for our convertible debt, which was implemented in May 2016.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 (the “2017 Period”) to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 (the “2016 Period”).

	Six Months Ended June 30,		Increase (Decrease)
	2017	2016	$	%
Revenue	1,046,343	969,453	76,890	8%
Cost of Revenue	313,226	264,611	48,615	18%
Gross Profit	733,117	704,842	28,275	4%

Sales and Marketing	565,622	561,174	4,448	1%
Research and Development	889,534	807,399	82,135	10%
General and Administrative	798,366	752,361	46,005	6%

Interest Expense	2,122,614	2,703,343	(580,729)	(21%)

Revenue increased by $76,890 or 8%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the recognition of previously deferred revenues. Our revenues were previously impacted by one significant contract for which revenue recognition has been deferred in compliance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP") revenue recognition requirements for sale of software products and services. During the 2017 Period, revenue recognition criteria on the contract have been met and approximately $150,000 of revenue has been recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The increase in revenue from that single major contract was offset by a net decrease in revenue from other customers due to customer turnover.

Cost of Revenue increased by $48,615 or 18%. Such increase is attributable to the growth of our Customer Success team as a result of realigning our workforce to deliver professional services in mobile app strategy and design.

Gross Profit increased by $28,275 or 4%. Gross Profit was positively impacted by the revenue recognition from the one significant customer contract referred to above for which revenue recognition commenced in 2017 Period, as decribed above.

Sales and Marketing expense increased by $4,448 or 1%. Sales and marketing team compensation increased by approximately $42,000 as a result of increase in commission expense related to increase in contract bookings and collections in 2017 Period in comparison to 2016 Period. Increase in commission expense was offset by overall decrease in marketing spending on campaigns and tradeshows as we continue to adjust our sales and marketing activities to conform to our overall sales and marketing goals.

Research and Development expense increased by $82,135 or 10%. This increase is attributable to a decrease in amount of our research and development team's effort that was allocated to cost of revenue in the 2017 Period in comparison to 2016 Period. Certain service components of our customer agreements required dedicated time from our development team and such effort was recorded as cost of revenue during the period such survices were delivered. In addition to the development team effort allocation, the Research and Development expense was impacted by an increase in employee stock based compensation as a result of the grant of stock options under the 2016 Equity Compensation plan.

General and Administrative expense increased by $46,005 or 6% during the 2017 period. This increase is attributable to an increase in employee stock based compensation, offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.

Interest Expense decreased by $580,729 or (21%). The cash part of interest expense increased by approximately $190,000 due to the increase in the face value of our convertible debt. The cash interest portion was offset by a decrease of approximately $770,000 in debt discount amortization as a result of the discount being amortized over additional two years attributable to the extension of the maturity date for our convertible debt, which was implemented in May 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have not yet achieved positive cash flows from operations, and our main source of funds for our operations continues to be the sale of our notes under the Convertible Note Facilities. We continue to rely on this source until we are able to generate sufficient cash from revenues to fund our operations or obtain alternate sources of financing. We believe that anticipated cash flows from operations, and additional issuances of notes, of which no assurance can be provided, together with cash on hand, will provide sufficient funds to finance our operations at least for the next 12 months from the date of this report on Form 10-Q. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, or other events may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available to us under the Convertible Note Facilities or otherwise on acceptable terms or at all. Additional equity and convertible debt financing could be dilutive to the holders of shares of our common stock, and additional debt financing, if available, could impose greater cash payment obligations and more covenants and operating restrictions.

Nonetheless, there are factors that can impact our ability to continue to fund our operating activities for the next twelve months. These include:

●

Our ability to expand revenue volume;

●

Our ability to maintain product pricing as expected, particularly in light of increased competition and its unknown effects on market dynamics;

●

Our continued need to reduce our cost structure while simultaneously expanding the breadth of our business, enhancing our technical capabilities, and pursing new business opportunities.

In addition, we have an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement (the "LSA") with Comerica Bank in the amount of $5 million, which matures in June of 2018 and is secured by an extended irrevocable letter of credit issued by UBS AG (Geneve, Switzerland) ("UBS AG") with a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2018, which term is renewable for one year periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to the then current expiration date. If UBS were to elect to not renew the irrevocable letter of credit issued by it beyond May 31, 2018, the currently scheduled expiration date, then such non-renewal will result in an event of default under the LSA, at which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA of approximately $5 million will become due and payable. Currently, the letter of credit is automatically extended for one year periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to the then current expiration date. As of the date of this report on Form 10Q, no such notice has been provided to us nor have we been provided with any indication that we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the letter of credit.

Additionally, all notes issued under the 2007 and 2014 NPAs mature on November 14, 2018 and Comerica LSA matures on June 6, 2018.

In July of 2017 the Company consolidated multiple notes issued to the same noteholders under 2007 NPA or 2014 NPA into single note to each such shareholder so as to consolidate quarterly interest payments. All of the other terms and conditions, including the maturity date, remain in effect. The consolidated notes will continue to pay quarterly interest on a calendar quarter basis. Due to transition of quarterly payments to a calendar basis, the Company's interest payments on the consolidated notes is expected to decrease by approximately $350,000 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Uses of Cash

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used in operating activities approximately $4.0 million, which was offset by $1.8 million in cash collected from our customers, netting approximately $2.1 million of net cash used in operating activities. Approximately $1.8 million of this amount was used to pay interest payments on the convertible notes and bank debt; approximately $1.6 million for payroll, benefits and related costs; approximately $201,000 was used for non-payroll related sales and marketing efforts, such as tradeshows and marketing campaigns and approximately $416,000 was used for other non-payroll development and general and administrative expenses, which included among other things: infrastructure costs, rent, insurance, legal, professional, compliance, and other expenditures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used in operating activities approximately $3.7 million, which was offset by $1.2 million in cash collected from our customers, netting approximately $2.5 million of net cash used in operating activities. Approximately $1.6 million was used to pay interest payments on the convertible notes and bank debt; approximately $1.6 million was used for payroll, benefits and related costs; approximately $246,000 was used on non-payroll related sales and marketing efforts, such as tradeshows and marketing campaigns and approximately $365,000 was used for other non-payroll development and general and administrative expenses, which included among other things: infrastructure costs, rent, insurance, legal, professional, compliance, and other expenditures.

Capital Expenditures and Investing Activities

Our capital expenditures are limited to the purchase of new office equipment and new mobile devices that are used for testing. Cash used for investing activities was not significant and we do not plan any significant capital expenditures in the near future.

Going Concern

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an emphasis of matter paragraph in their report included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in which they express substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern depends on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing that is currently required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations and positive cash flows. There can be no assurance that our efforts to raise capital or increase revenue will be successful. If our efforts are unsuccessful, we may have to cease operations and liquidate our business.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
