Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains
various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”) and other laws. 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 products, 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
expenses, 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,” and elsewhere in this report for factors that may
cause actual results to be different than those expressed in these
forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake
no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason.
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
General
MobileSmith, Inc.
(referred to herein as, “MobileSmith,” the
“Company,” “us,” “we,” or
“our”) was incorporated in Delaware in August 1993 and
became a public company through a self-registration in February
2005. The Company’s common stock trades on the OTC Market
(OTC.QB) under the symbol “MOST”.
Principal Products and Services
● Patient's Access: improvements in hospital's
HCAHPS scores (the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems score) through increased customer
satisfaction from improvements in patient
engagement;
● Patient
Perioperative Care: reductions of same-day cancellations and
preventable re-admissions with tailored Perioperative Apps
resulting in direct savings to the hospitals;
and
● In Network
Patient Retention: making it easy for patients to connect with care
options through ER/Urgent care and Physician Referral Apps
resulting in savings to the hospitals.
Our services offering
includes:
●
access
to a catalog of ready to deploy mobile app solutions (App Blueprint
Catalog);
●
related
deployment, support and integration services (App Build and Managed
Services and custom development, where applicable)
and
●
hosting
of the deployed mobile apps.
Our flagship
MobileSmith® Platform (the "Platform") has
transformed from customer facing into an internal platform that
supports the deployment of mobile apps created from
Blueprints. We also integrate various
third-party code and services into the mobile apps produced from
our Blueprints, host the deployed
apps, and design new Blueprints that can be rapidly
deployed by the Healthcare industry.
4
Target Market and Sales Channels
During 2017 we completed a
strategic shift and focused our business and research and
development activities primarily on the
Healthcare industry in the United States. In 2018 we refined our
healthcare focus by identifying two target markets:
(i) healthcare providers (hospitals, hospital systems
and the United States Veterans Health
Administration) and (ii) healthcare payer market
(insurance companies and insurance brokers).
Both markets are
targeted with a diversified sales workforce that includes direct
sales and resellers ("channel
partners").
Principal
Customers
In 2017 we had a
major healthcare customer in the federal government
space that accounted for 46% of our 2017
revenue. The
contract with the major government customer ended as
of December 31, 2017. Our 2018 revenue was less
concentrated with no single customer comprising more than 10% of
recognized revenue. However, as we expand our relationships
with channel partners in 2019, our revenue concentration may
increase again as one single channel partner may result in
more revenue than sales to individual hospitals in the
aggregate.
Research and Development
In 2017 we
continued to enhance the Platform with various functionalities
sought by current and target customers. We continuously
monitor such demand, rapidly develop the functionalities and make
them available to all our customers, current and
future.
During 2017 and
2018 we focused our technological and design efforts on our
Blueprints features, that continue leading our offering to
healthcare providers (Blueprint is a
fully customizable pre-built app targeting specific healthcare
related business function or health
condition)
During 2019 our
product development will focus on consolidating our own technology
with technology of our multiple service partners (including EMR
integrators, wayfinding partners, telemedicine partners) and making
these consolidated technologies available through software
development kits ("SDKs") and application
programming interfaces ("APIs") for mass rapid
consumption by the Healthcare Industry.
5
Competition
We have been
successful in penetrating the healthcare provider
technology market and developed extensive expertise in
the industry. With many of our customers we enjoy five-plus
year relationships. However, the healthcare
provider technology industry is highly competitive.
Our competitors include a number of successful, independent
companies, such as Vivify Health, mPulse, and AMC
Health. Many of these companies have significantly
greater financial, personnel, and other resources than we do.
Moreover, more companies enter the industry and market every
year. As a result of this, we expect the competition we face
to grow stronger in the next five
years.
Intellectual
Property
During 2014, we
stopped pursuing the majority of our patent applications as we
determined that the cost of pursuing them is greater than the
potential protection provided by them. Since then we have
been granted one patent associated with our
Platform.
We also have
several trademarks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office. These trademarks cover certain names that identify
specifics of the Platform user interface.
Employees
As of December 31,
2018, we had 26 full time employees and no part-time employees.
None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining
agreements.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below and
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an
investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results
of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of
these risks. Our common stock is considered speculative and the
trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these
risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The
following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing the
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our
business.
A
default by us in respect of the amounts outstanding on the notes
outstanding under the note facilities and the commercial bank loans
when due in 2020 would enable these creditors to foreclose on our
assets.
The Notes currently
outstanding under the Convertible Note Facilities, which together
with interest accrued as of the date of this report on Form
10-K aggregate approximately $39.4 million, come due in November
2020. In addition, we have an
outstanding Loan and
Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with Comerica Bank in
the amount of $5,000,000, which matures in June of 2020 and
is secured by an extended irrevocable letter of credit
issued by UBS AG (Geneva, Switzerland) (“UBS AG”) with
a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2019, 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. The provision of any such notice by UBS will
constitute an event of default under the LSA, at which time all
amounts outstanding under the LSA will become due and payable. As
of the filing date of this report on Form 10-K, 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.
Unless we can defer
payment on the notes or such notes are in fact converted into our
common stock, of which no assurance can be provided, we will need
to find other sources of funding to pay the amounts that are
scheduled to come due in November 2020. We also have no commitment
from any other funding source should UBS elect to not renew the
letter of credit.
Furthermore,
the amounts under the LSA as well as approximately $20.5
million
under the Notes, are secured by a lien on our
assets. A default by us under these Notes or the LSA would enable
these creditors to foreclose on our assets. Additionally, the
non-renewal of the letter of credit securing the UBS note, which is
currently scheduled to expire on May 31, 2019, would also trigger
an event of default under the LSA as well as the outstanding notes.
Any foreclosure could force us to substantially curtail or cease
our operations.
Historically,
we have operated at a loss, and we continue to do so.
We have had
recurring losses from operations and continue to have negative cash
flows. If we do not become cash flow positive through additional
financing or growth, we may have to cease operations and liquidate
our business.
We
are dependent on existing and other investors for the financing of
our operations and their inability or unwillingness to fund our
operations can have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
We have not yet
achieved positive cash flows from operations, and our main source
of operating funds is the sale of notes under two convertible note
facilities that we implemented. See Item 7,
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis “Liquidity
and Capital Resources”. Since November 2007 and through the
date of this report, we have raised approximately $53.6 million
through these note facilities and we have the ability to raise up
to an additional $19.7 million under such facilities from existing
note holders and others upon request and with the consent of
the noteholders. However, no assurance can be provided that
we will in fact be able to raise needed amounts through the
facilities or through any other sources on commercially reasonable
terms. If financing through the note facilities becomes
unavailable, we will need to seek other sources of
funding. The inability to raise additional funds when
needed on terms acceptable to us, whether through the
note facilities or otherwise, may have a material adverse effect on
our operations.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm indicates that it has
substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern. Our
independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion may
negatively affect our ability to raise additional funds, among
other things. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not
be able to implement our business plan, we may have to liquidate
our business, and you may lose your investment.
Cherry Bekaert LLP,
our independent registered public accounting firm, has expressed
substantial doubt in its report included within this Annual Report
on Form 10-K about our ability to continue as a going concern given
our recurring losses from operations and deficiencies in working
capital and equity, which are described in the first risk factor
above. This report could materially limit our ability to raise
additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or
otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be
able to implement our business plan and, we may have
to liquidate our business, which may result in the loss of
your entire investment. You should consider our independent
registered public accounting firm’s report when determining
if an investment in us is suitable.
7
The
delivery of software via the SaaS business model is more vulnerable
to cyber-crime than the sale of pre-packaged software.
Our service
involves the storage and transmission of customers’
proprietary information. If our security measures are breached as a
result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or
otherwise and, as a result, unauthorized access is obtained to our
customers’ data or our data, our reputation could be damaged,
our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.
In addition, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce
employees or customers to disclose sensitive information such as
user names, passwords, or other information in order to gain access
to our customers’ data or our data, which could result in
significant legal and financial exposure and a loss of confidence
in the security of our service that would harm our future business
prospects. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are
not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative
measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs,
the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures
could be harmed and we could lose sales and customers.
Our
business is currently dependent on the success of a single product,
the Platform, and related services.
Our business model
is dependent on the commercial success of the Platform. Our future
financial performance and revenue growth will depend on acceptance
by the market of our vision that mobile app development by a
non-developer will become a mainstream solution for businesses of
all sizes. Our growth is dependent on the introduction of new
features to the Platform and innovation in the area of mobile app
development solutions for a wide range of customers.
Government
regulation may subject us to liability or require us to change the
way we do business.
The laws and
regulations that govern our business change rapidly. Evolving areas
of law that are relevant to our business include privacy and
security laws, proposed encryption laws, content regulation,
information security accountability regulation, sales and use tax
laws and regulations and attempts to regulate activities on the
Internet. In addition to being directly subject to certain
requirements of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, we are
required through contracts with our customers known as
“business associate agreements” to protect the privacy
and security of certain personal and health related information. We
are required to comply with revised requirements under the HIPAA
privacy and security regulations. The rapidly evolving and
uncertain regulatory environment could require us to change how we
do business or incur additional costs. Further, we cannot predict
how changes to these laws and regulations might affect our
business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations
could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, subject us to
contractual penalties, including termination of our customer
agreements, damage our reputation and have a detrimental impact on
our business.
Our
propriety rights may prove difficult to enforce.
Our Platform
technology is not patent protected and is not exclusive to us, as
there are various platforms in the market that allow for creation
of mobile apps, ranging from “do it yourself” platforms
for creation of template apps to platform tools designed for use by
developers. Although we consider our Platform unique, in
that it allows for creation of sophisticated mobile apps by
non-developers, there is no guarantee that another company will not
build a similar platform.
Furthermore, many
key aspects of networking technology are governed by industry wide
standards, which are usable by all market entrants. Although we are
not dependent on any individual patents or group of patents for
particular segments of the business for which we compete, if we are
unable to protect our proprietary rights to the totality of the
features (including aspects of products protected other than by
patent rights) in a market, we may find ourselves at a competitive
disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense,
time, and effort required to create innovative products that have
enabled us to be successful.
We
may be found to infringe on intellectual property rights of
others.
Third parties,
including customers, may in the future assert claims or initiate
litigation related to exclusive patent, copyright, trademark, and
other intellectual property rights to technologies and related
standards that are relevant to us. Because of the existence of a
large number of patents in the mobile apps field, the secrecy of
some pending patents, and the rapid rate of issuance of new
patents, it is not economically practical or even possible to
determine in advance whether a product or any of its components
infringes or will infringe on the patent rights of others. The
asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims
against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, or customers, alleging
infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our
existing or future products or components of those products.
Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of
technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a
non-infringing technology or enter into license agreements. Where
claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious
claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no
assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and
conditions, if at all, or that our indemnification by our suppliers
will be adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought
directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the
potential for high court awards that are not necessarily
predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious
claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or
other intellectual property claim made against us by any third
party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer
with respect to a claim against the customer, or if we fail to
develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights
on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business,
operating results, and financial condition could be materially and
adversely affected.
Our exposure to
risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be
increased as a result of acquisitions, as we have a lower level of
visibility into the development process with respect to such
technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement
risks.
8
Officers,
directors, principal stockholders and other related parties control
us. This might lead them to make decisions that do not align with
interests of minority stockholders.
Our principal
stockholders beneficially own or control a large percentage of our
outstanding common stock. Certain of these principal stockholders
hold Notes, which may be exercised or converted into additional
shares of our common stock under certain conditions. The
Noteholders have designated a representative to act as their agent.
We have agreed that the representative shall be granted access to
our facilities and personnel during normal business hours, shall
have the right to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and
its committees, and shall receive all materials provided to the
Board of Directors or any committee. In addition, so long as the
Notes are outstanding, we have agreed that we will not take certain
material corporate actions without approval of the
representative.
Our principal
stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to control
substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for
approval (including the election and removal of directors and any
merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our
assets) and to control our management and affairs. Accordingly,
this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying,
deferring, or preventing a change in control of us; impeding a
merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination
involving us; or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a
tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which
in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.
Mr. Avy Lugassy
controls Grasford Investments Ltd. (“Grasford”). As of
December 31, 2018, Grasford holds 10,054,045 , or 35.6%, of the
Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and
approximately $12.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our
promissory notes, which are currently convertible at the election
of the holder into additional 8,444,952 shares of common stock.
Being a significant owner of our company, Mr. Lugassy may exercise
significant influence on our operations through his ability to vote
his shares.
In addition, as of
the date of this report, Union Bancaire Privée
(“UBP”) holds 7,167,832, or 25.4% of
the
Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and
approximately $25.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes. Because UBP may convert its Notes upon request, if UBP so
converts, it would acquire a significant percentage of our shares
of common stock and, like Grasford, would be able to exercise
significant influence on the Company’s operations as a
result.
Future
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be
limited.
In accordance with
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a
change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the Company
within a three-year period can result in an annual limitation on
the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss
carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the
change in ownership. A change in ownership may result from the
issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to
conversion of the Notes or any other event that would result in the
issuance of common or preferred shares of the Company, among other
events.
Any
future issuance of our shares of common stock could have a dilutive
effect on the value of our existing shares of common
stock.
The conversion
price on our outstanding convertible promissory notes is fixed at
$1.43 per share and on March 27, the closing
price of our stock was $1.86 per share. As of the date
of this report, we have $39,370,000 of face value Notes outstanding
convertible into 27,531,469 shares of common stock, which
would almost double our current number of shares of common stock
outstanding. As we continue to issue more of the
Notes, the number of conversion shares will
increase.
9
The
ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional stock may
prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a
sale or merger of the Company.
Our Board of
Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock with powers, rights and preferences
designated by it. Shares of voting or convertible preferred
stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be
issued, to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons
seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the
Company. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue such
additional shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences
it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to
acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means.
Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of
benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the
realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in
a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such
an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such
additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the
Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent
officers and directors from office even if such change were to be
favorable to stockholders generally.
There
currently is very limited public market for our
common stock and there can be no
assurance that a more active public market will ever
develop. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could
negatively affect the value of our common
stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to
sell your shares.
There is currently
a very limited public market for shares of our
common stock and a more active one
may never develop. Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC
Markets, QB Tier. The OTC Markets is a thinly traded market and
lacks the liquidity of certain other public markets with which some
investors may have more experience. Our shares of common stock are
traded infrequently and even an insignificant investment in our
shares of common stock may be illiquid.
We may not ever be
able to satisfy the listing requirements for our
common stock to be listed on a national
securities exchange, which is often a more widely-traded and liquid
market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or
prevent the listing of our common stock
on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following:
our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market
value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income
from operations may be too low; our common
stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not
be able to secure market makers for our common
stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and
requirements mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have
our common stock listed. Should we fail
to satisfy the initial listing standards of the national exchanges,
or our common stock is otherwise rejected
for listing, and remains listed on the OTC Markets or is suspended
from the OTC Markets, the trading price of our common
stock could suffer and the trading market for our
common stock may be less liquid and our
common stock price may be subject to
increased volatility, making it difficult or impossible to sell
shares of our common stock.
Penny
Stock Regulations are applicable to investment in shares of our
common stock.
Broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are
regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than
$5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national
securities exchanges, provided that current prices and volume
information with respect to transactions in such securities are
provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks
and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also
must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for
the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
account. In addition, penny stock rules generally require that
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may
have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the
secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to penny stock
rules. Many brokers will not deal with penny stocks, restricting
the market for our shares of common stock.
We
do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of
common stock; thus our stockholders will
not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell
them.
We intend to retain
any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our
business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our
common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends,
our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their
shares unless they sell them.

PROPERTIES
We do not own any
real property. The Company's corporate office in Raleigh North
Carolina consists of approximately 7,000 square feet. The lease
term for the premises commenced in July 2013 with an initial term
that expires in March 2019. The Company has extended the
lease through April 2024.
As a result of the amendment the Company has received an incentive
from the landlord valued at approximately $100,000. The
Company intends to take advantage of the incentive through April
30, 2019.
Accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
require that the total rent expense to be incurred over the term of
the lease be recognized on a straight-line basis. Deferred rent
represents the cumulative excess of the straight-line expense over
the payments made. The average annual rent expense over
the term of the lease is approximately $189,000.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time,
we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings

7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion
summarizes significant factors affecting the operating results,
financial condition and liquidity of MobileSmith for the two-year
period ended December 31, 2018. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and
the more detailed discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with the risks
described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
of Financing Activities and Sources of
Cash
From November 14,
2007 and through the date of this report on Form 10-K, we have
financed our working capital deficiency primarily through the
issuance of promissory notes under two convertible note facilities.
The first, established in November 2007, is evidenced by the
Convertible Secured Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated
November 14, 2007, as amended (as so amended, the “2007
NPA”) and the second, established in December 2014, is
evidenced by the unsecured Convertible Subordinated Note
Purchase Agreement (the “2014 NPA”);
together with the 2007 NPA, (the “Convertible
Note Facilities”) with Union Bancaire Privée, UBP
SA ("UBP"). All references in this filing to
“2007 NPA Notes” will mean notes issued under
the 2007 NPA and all references to “2014 NPA
Notes" will mean notes issued under the 2014 NPA. All
references to the Notes will mean any convertible note or notes
issued either under 2007 or 2014 NPAs.
From November 14,
2007 and through December 10, 2014, we have financed our working
capital deficiency primarily with the issuance of Notes under the
2007 NPA. On December 11, 2014 the Company
entered into the 2014 NPA and issued its first 2014 NPA Note to
UBP. We intend to primarily use our 2014 NPA for future
issuances of convertible notes.
13
In June of 2018 we extended
maturity of both the 2007 and 2014 NPA Notes from
November of 2018 to November of 2020, which lengthened the period
of time over which the debt discount is
amortized.
During 2018, we borrowed
a total of $4,715,000 under the 2014 NPA and converted
$5,075,000 in principal amount of 2007 NPA Notes into
3,548,951 shares of common stock. The aggregate
balance of the Notes as of December 31, 2018 was
$36,350,825, net of $1,569,175
discount.
Amounts outstanding under the 2007 NPA are
secured by a lien on all of our
assets.

31, 2018 by NPA type:

Comerica LSA
We have an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement (the "LSA") with
Comerica Bank pursuant to which $5,000,000 is outstanding with an
original maturity date of June 9, 2016. On June 8, 2018, the Company and Comerica Bank
entered into Second Amendment to the LSA, which extended the
maturity of the LSA to June 9, 2020.
The LSA
is secured by
an extended irrevocable letter of credit issued by UBS AG (Geneva,
Switzerland) with a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2019, which
term is automatically 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. The provision of any such
notice by UBS will constitute an event of default under the LSA, at
which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA will become due
and payable. As of the date of this report on Form 10-K, 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.

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018
AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
2018
Highlights
In May of 2018 the
Company granted significant number of stock options to its
employees. As a result, our stock based compensation
increased by approximately $900,000 in 2018 when compared to
2017. Stock based compensation impacted every operating
expense category.

Revenue decreased by
$1,129,767, or 33%. The decrease in revenues is primarily
attributable to the recognition and recording in 2017 of previously
deferred revenues in 2016 for a single customer.
That single customer accounted for $1,598,035 of 2017
revenue. The relationship with that customer
terminated in 2017.
Cost
of Revenue increased by $193,883, or
32%. An increase of $110,000 is attributable to
increased license and use fees paid to our service partners,
whose technology is integrated into our service offerings.
The increase of $54,000 is attributable to internal
personnel costs associated with delivery of services. The
remainder for the increase is attributable to the stock based
compensation component of our delivery team personnel
expense.
Gross
Profit decreased by $1,323,650, or 47% and is
primarily attributable to impact from 2017 revenue
recognition for single customer as described
above.
Sales and
Marketing expense increased by $471,682, or 40%.
The sales and marketing team payroll
related expense was higher by approximately $100,000. Travel
expenses of the sales team were higher by
approximately $62,000. Tradeshows and campaign related
expenses were higher by approximately $24,000. The
costs of consultants employed to perform industry research,
lead generation, PR and other sales enablement activities were
higher by approximately $112,000. The remainder of the
increase is attributable to increase in stock based compensation of
sales and marketing team.
Research and
Development expense
increased by $19,749, or 1%. Payroll and personnel
related expenses of the research and
development team decreased by approximately $210,000,
offset by increase in stock based compensation of approximately
$230,000.
General and
Administrative expense increased by $767,838, or 48%.
An increase of approximately $160,000 is attributable to
increased compensation of the CEO
(including $90,000 severance payment to
the former CEO), CFO and the fact that board was
engaged for a full year in comparison to 2017.
Travel costs associated with the executive team and
board travel activities increased by approximately $50,000.
Professional services and consultants expense increased by
approximately $65,000. Rent and insurance increased by
approximately $22,000. Stock based compensation of the
executive team and the board increased by approximately
$470,000.
Interest
expense decreased by
$325,029, or 7%.
Interest expense decreased by $375,000 due to a
decrease in average face value of our debt due to conversions,
offset by an increase in interest expense related to the Comerica
LSA impacted by rising interest rates. The cash
interest portion was offset by a increase of approximately $18,000
in debt discount amortization
as a result of increase in beneficial conversion feature associated
with debt issuance.
15
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 need to
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, 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. 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 if 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.
During 2018, the
Company raised gross proceeds of $4,715,000 from the private
placement to UBP under 2014 NPA and $525,000 through issuance of
subordinated promissory notes to a related
party. Subsequent to December 31, 2018 and through the date
of this report, the Company issued additional 2014 NPA Notes to UBP
in the amount of $1,450,000 and $600,000 of subordinated
promissory notes to a related party.
Nonetheless, there
are factors that can impact our ability to continue to fund
our operating 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, if UBS
were to elect to not renew the irrevocable letter of credit beyond
May 31, 2019, 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
filing date of this report on Form 10-K, 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, 2020
and the Comerica LSA matures on June 9,
2020.
16
Uses of Cash
During the year ended
December 31, 2018, we used in operating activities approximately
$7.5 million of cash, which was offset by $2.6 million
in cash collected from our customers, netting approximately
$4.9 million of net cash used in operating activities.
Approximately $2.6 million of this amount was used to pay
interest payments on the convertible notes and bank debt;
approximately $3.3 million for payroll, benefits and related costs;
approximately $687,000 was used for non-payroll related sales and
marketing efforts, such as tradeshows, marketing campaigns,
industry research, PR consulting and other outsourced sales enablement
activities and approximately $872,000 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 year ended December 31, 2017, we used in operating
activities approximately $7.6 million of cash, which
was offset by $3.4 million in cash collected from our
customers, netting approximately
$4.2 million of net cash used in operating activities.
Approximately $3.2 million of this amount was used to pay
interest payments on the convertible notes and bank debt;
approximately $3.3 million for payroll, benefits and related costs;
approximately $370,000 was used for non-payroll related sales and
marketing efforts, such as tradeshows and marketing campaigns and
approximately $756,000 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 this Annual Report on Form
10-K in which they express substantial doubt as to our ability to
continue as a going concern. The 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.
Critical
accounting policies and estimates
The discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related
to revenue recognition, bad debts, intangible assets and income
taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
We have identified
the accounting policies below as critical to our business
operations and the understanding of our results of
operations.
17
Revenue Recognition,
Deferred Revenue and Multiple Element Arrangements
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. The adoption of Topic 606 took place with
the year beginning January 1, 2018 and did not have
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company selected a modified retrospective
approach at the time of adoption, at which time cumulative effect
of initially adopting the standard was recognized in retained
earnings at the date of adoption as well as the
inclusion of additional footnote disclosures.
The adoption of Topic 606 did result in changes to the Company's
accounting policies and introduced new definitions and disclosure
requirements that are discussed below and throughout these
consolidated financial
statements.
Revenue Recognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations
to Customers
The
Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription
to the suite of e-health mobile solutions and, to a much lesser
degree, ancillary services provided in connection with subscription
services.
The
Company’s contracts include the following performance
obligations:
●
Access
to the content available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including
hosting of the deployed apps;
●
App
Build and Managed Services;
●
Custom
development work.
The
majority of the Company’s contracts are for subscription to a
catalog of mobile App Blueprints, hosting of the deployed apps and
related services. Custom work for specific deliverables is
documented in the statements of work. Customers may enter into
subscription and various statements of work concurrently or
consecutively. Most of the Company’s performance obligations
are not considered to be distinct from the subscription to
Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related services and are
combined into a single performance obligation. New statements of
work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each reporting
period and significant judgment is applied as to nature and
characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations on a
contract by contract basis.
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The
transaction price of the contract is an aggregate amount of
consideration payable by customer for delivery of contracted
services. Transaction price is impacted by the terms of a
contracted agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one
to three years. The transaction
price may include a significant financing component in instances
where Company offers discounts for accelerated payments on the
long-term contracts. A significant financing
component is recorded in other assets and is amortized as interest
expense in the Company’s income statement over the term of
the contract.
The
transaction price is predominantly allocated to the single
performance obligation of access to the Blueprints, hosting and
related services and, to a lesser degree, allocated between the
access and other distinct performance obligations based on the
stand-alone selling price. The subscription revenue is then
recognized over the term of the contract, using the output method
of time elapsed. Other performance obligations identified are
evaluated based on the specific terms of the agreement are
usually recognized at a point in time upon delivery of a specific
documented output. Management believes that such chosen methods
faithfully depict satisfaction of Company performance obligations
and transfer of benefit to the customers.
The full transaction price of the contract may be billed in its
entirety or in agreed upon installments. Billed transaction
price in excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a
contract liability. Unbilled portion of transaction price
represents contracted consideration receivable by the Company, that
was not yet billed.
18
Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract
The
Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract include
sales commissions and are recognized as other assets on the balance
sheet for the contracts with a term exceeding 12 months. These
costs are amortized through the term of the contract and are
recorded as sales and marketing expense. As of December 31, 2018
the Company’s other assets include approximately $73,000 of
such costs.
Contract Liabilities
A new
contract liability is created every time the Company records
receivables due from its customers and has not satisfied the
requirements to recognize revenue. Contract liability
represents Company’s obligation to transfer services for
which the Company has already invoiced. Most of the contract
liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of 12 to 36
months.
Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the
recoverability of our long-lived assets every reporting period or
whenever events and circumstances indicate that the value may be
impaired.

Report

To the Board of
Directors and
Stockholders of
MobileSmith, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MobileSmith, Inc. (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for years then ended, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Going
Concern Uncertainty
These financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations and has a working capital deficiency as of December
31, 2018. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans concerning these matters are described in
Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our
audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of
our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.
Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement
of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as
the Company’s auditor since 2009.

SUMMARY
OF BUSINESS AND DESCRIPTION OF GOING CONCERN
Description of Business and Going Concern
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 same year the Company focused exclusively on development of
do-it-yourself customer facing platform that enabled 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. During 2017 the
Company concluded that it had its highest rate of success with
clients within the Healthcare industry and concentrated its
development and sales and marketing efforts in that industry.
During 2018 we further refined our Healthcare offering and
redefined our product - a suite of e-health mobile solutions, that
consists of:
●
access
to a catalog of ready to deploy mobile app solutions (App Blueprint
Catalog)
●
related
deployment, support and integration services (App Build and Managed
Services and custom development, where applicable),
and
●
hosting
of the deployed mobile apps.
Our flagship
MobileSmith® Platform has transformed from a
do-it-yourself customer facing platform into an internally used
engine that supports the deployment of mobile apps created from
Blueprints, integration of various third-party code and services
into the mobile apps produced from Blueprints and the hosting of
deployed apps and design of new Blueprints.
The
accompanying 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the
Company incurred net losses, as well as negative cash flows from
operations, and at December 31, 2018 and 2017, had deficiencies in
working capital. These factors indicate that the Company may be
unable to continue as a going concern. The 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.
The Company’s continuation as a going
concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows
to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional
financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable
operations and positive cash flows. Since November 2007, the
Company has been funding its operations, in part, from the proceeds
of the issuance of notes under a convertible secured subordinated
note facility which was established in 2007, as well as, an
unsecured convertible subordinated note facility established in
2014. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $37,920,000 of face
value outstanding under these facilities and the Company is
entitled to request additional notes under these facilities in an
amount not exceeding $21,105,000, subject to the terms and conditions specified in
these facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will
in fact be able to raise additional capital through these
facilities or even from other sources on commercially acceptable
terms if at all. As such, there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the
Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. Significant
estimates and assumptions made by management include the
determination of performance obligations and the allocation of
consideration among performance obligations, and the determination
of when the Company has met the requirements to recognize revenue
related to the performance obligations, share-based compensation,
allowance for accounts receivable, estimated useful lives of
property and equipment, recoverability of capitalized software
asset and other long lived assets. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
US GAAP requires
disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. Due to the short period of time
to maturity, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes
payable reported in the financial statements approximate the fair
value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covers $250,000 for substantially all
depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts
on deposit in excess of the insured limits.
Revenue Recognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations
to Customers
The
Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription
to the suite of e-health mobile solutions and, to a much lesser
degree, ancillary services provided in connection with subscription
services.
The
Company’s contracts include the following performance
obligations:
●
Access
to the content available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including
hosting of the deployed apps;
●
App
Build and Managed Services; and
●
Custom
development work.
The
majority of the Company’s contracts are for a subscription to
a catalog of mobile App Blueprints, and hosting of the deployed
apps and related services. Custom work for specific deliverables is
documented in statements of work or separate contracts. Customers
may enter into subscription and various statements of work
concurrently or consecutively. Most of the Company’s
performance obligations are not considered to be distinct from the
subscription to Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related
services and are combined into a single performance obligation. New
statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each
reporting period and significant judgment is applied as to nature
and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations
on a contract by contract basis.
F-8
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The
transaction price of the contract is an aggregate amount of
consideration payable by customer for delivery of contracted
services. The transaction price is impacted by the terms of a
contracted agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one
to three years. The transaction price excludes any
marketing or sales discounts or any future renewal periods,
unless the renewal periods represent a material right given to
customer to extend the agreement. The transaction price may include
a significant financing component in instances where Company offers
discounts for accelerated payments on the long-term
contracts. Significant financing components are recorded in
other assets and amortized as interest expense in the
Company’s Statement of Operations over the term of the
contract.
The
transaction price is predominantly allocated to a single
performance obligation of access to the Blueprints, hosting and
related services and, to a lesser degree, allocated between the
access and other distinct performance obligations based on the
stand-alone selling price. The subscription revenue is then
recognized over time over the term of the contract, using the
output method of time elapsed. Other performance obligations
identified are evaluated based on the specific terms of the
agreement are usually recognized at a point in time upon delivery
of a specific documented output. Management believes that such
chosen methods faithfully depict satisfaction of Company
performance obligations and transfer of benefit to the
customers.
The full
transaction price of the contract may be billed in its entirety or
in agreed upon installments. Billed transaction price in
excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a contract
liability. The unbilled portion of transaction price related
to revenue earned represents contracted consideration receivable by
the Company that was not yet billed.
Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract
The
Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract include
sales commissions. Sales commissions are recognized as other
assets on the balance sheet for the contracts with a term exceeding
12 months. These costs are amortized through the term of the
contract and are recorded as sales and marketing expense. As of
December 31, 2018 the Company’s other assets include
approximately $73,000 of such costs.
Contract Liabilities
A
new contract liability is created every time the Company records
receivables due from its customers. The contract liability
represents the Company’s obligation to transfer services for
which the Company has already invoiced. Most of the contract
liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of 12 to 36
months.
Customer Credit Risk
Most of Company's
receivables (billings) are collected within 30-45 days. The
majority of Company's customers are healthcare organizations, which
historically have had low credit risk.
Use of practical expedients in application of the Topic
606
The newly adopted
recognition standard prescribes the application of accounting
standards to individual contracts with customers, but allows for
the application of the guidance to a portfolio of contracts (or
performance obligations) with similar characteristics if the effect
of such application is immaterial. The Company applies
practical expedients in following instances:
●
The
Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for
the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract
inception, the period between when the Company transfers its
services to a customer and when the customer pays services will be
one year or less.
●
The
Company recognizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract as
expenses when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that
the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or
less.
●
In
instances where a customer had been granted a material option which
in essence is a right to renew under the terms of the original
contract, the Company uses a practical alternative to estimating
the standalone selling price of the option: the alternative
includes allocation of the transaction price to the optional goods
or services by reference to the goods or services expected to be
provided and the corresponding expected consideration
F-9
Transition Disclosures in the Period of Adoption of Topic
606
The Company applied
the transition guidance in Topic 606 to the contracts that were not
substantially completed as of January 1, 2018.
The
Company selected a modified retrospective approach at the time of
adoption, at which time the cumulative effect of initially adopting
the standard is recognized in retained earnings as of the date of
adoption and additional footnote disclosures will be included in
the financial statements. The impact of adoption on the
selected accounts is as follows:
The
cumulative effects of the changes made to the Company's

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues
includes salaries of customer support teams, costs of
infrastructure, expenses for outsourced work to fulfill the
contracted work, and amortization charges for capitalized
software.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability or failure of its customers to make
required payments. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts
is evaluated based on specifically identified amounts that
management believes to be potentially uncollectible. If actual
collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be
required.
Property and Equipment
The Company records
property and equipment at cost and provides for depreciation and
amortization using the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful
lives by asset classification are as follows:
Computer hardware

Software Development Costs
The Company
capitalized certain costs of development and subsequent enhancement
of our platform that supports the deployment of mobile apps created
from Blueprints (the "Platform") through the middle of 2013. The
Company started capitalizing software development costs when
technological feasibility of the Platform or its enhancements had
been established. The Company expensed costs associated with the
preliminary project stage and research activities. The
Company’s policy provided for the capitalization of certain
payroll, benefits, and other payroll-related costs for employees
who were directly associated with development.
During 2012, the
Platform was substantially completed. During 2013, the
Company’s development efforts became more driven by market
requirements and rapidly changing customers’ needs. As a
result, the Company’s development team adopted iterative
approach to software development (the "agile methodology"). Due to
agile methodology short development cycles and focus on rapid
production, the Company ceased capitalizing software development
costs mid-way through 2013 as the documentation produced under the
agile methodology did not meet requirements necessary to establish
technological feasibility. No development costs were capitalized in
2018 or 2017 and the Company does not expect to capitalize
substantial development costs in the future.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets
consist of the perpetual license for critical Platform
software, costs associated with the Company’s patent filings
and other acquired intangible assets. The Company also owns several
copyrights and trademarks related to products, names, and logos
used throughout its non-acquired product lines.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company
evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets every
reporting period or whenever events and circumstances indicate that
the value may be impaired.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs
consist primarily of industry related tradeshows and marketing
campaigns. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first
time the advertising takes place, applied consistently based on the
nature of the advertising activity. The amounts related to
advertising during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were
$404,882 and $268,133, respectively.
F-11
Share-Based Compensation
The Company
measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The requisite service period is generally three years. The
compensation cost is recognized net of estimated expected
forfeiture activity. The Company re-evaluates its expected
forfeiture rate periodically. Historically the Company's
forfeiture rate used in calculation of share-based compensation
expense ranged between 20% and 30%.
The Company uses
simplified method allowed by SAB 107 for estimating expected term of the options in calculating the
fair value of the awards that have a term of more than 7 years
because the Company does not have reliable historical data on
exercise of its options. The simplified method was used for
options granted in 2018.
The fair value of
option grants under the Company’s equity compensation plan
during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was estimated
using Black-Scholes pricing
model using the following weighted-average assumptions
:

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods.
Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during the periods. Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes (the
“Notes”) and exercise of share-based awards are
excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number,
because the effect of the conversion and exercise would be
anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to
recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information
about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a
right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU
asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with
a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance
or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and
classification of expense recognition in the income
statement.
The
new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early
adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is
required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the
date of initial application. We expect to adopt the new standard on
January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial
application, as permitted by the guidance. Consequently, financial
information will not be updated and the disclosures required under
the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before
January 1, 2019.
The
new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in
transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical
expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new
standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease
classification and initial direct costs.
We
expect the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on
our financial statements. The Company is substantially
complete with its implementation and believes the most significant
effects relate to the recognition of additional new ROU asset and
lease liability on our balance sheet for our Raleigh office
operating lease and providing significant new disclosures about our
leasing activities. We do not expect a significant change in our
leasing activities between now and adoption.
On
adoption, we currently expect to recognize additional operating
liabilities of between $800,000 and $850,000, with corresponding
ROU asset of the same amount based on the present value of the
remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards
for existing lease.
The new standard also provides practical
expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We also
currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate
lease and non-lease components for all of our
leases.
F-12
In
June 2018, the FASB announced ASU 2018-07 Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only
includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based
payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services.
Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to
nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU
supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to
Non-Employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public companies for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim
periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but
no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company elected to adopt
ASU 2018-07 as of January 1, 2018.
In August 2018, the FASB announced ASU
2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure
Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair
Value Measurement. This amendment removes, modifies or adds
certain disclosure requirements for Fair Value Measurements.
For all entities, amendments are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December
15, 2019. The Company doesn't expect that the ASU will have
material impact on its financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is
defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature
contains three levels as follows:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that
are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial
instruments whose value is determined using pricing models,
discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well
as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires
significant management judgment or estimations.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we believe that
the fair value of our financial instruments other than cash and
cash equivalents, such as, accounts receivable, our line of credit,
notes payable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying
amounts.

Convertible Notes Overview
Since November 14,
2007 and through December 10, 2014, the Company financed its
working capital deficiency primarily through the issuance of its
notes of up to $33,300,000 in principal (the “2007 NPA
Notes”) under the Convertible Secured Subordinated Note
Purchase Agreement, dated November 14, 2007, as amended (as so
amended, the “2007 NPA”). On December 11, 2014 the Company
entered into an unsecured Convertible Subordinated Note Purchase
Agreement, as amended (as so amended, the “2014 NPA”)
with Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA ("UBP") a related
party, for the sum of notes up to $40,000,000 in principal ("2014
NPA Notes"). At the request of the noteholder any amounts
borrowed under the 2007 NPA and the 2014 NPA allow the principal
amount to be converted to common shares at a conversion price of
$1.43 per share.
F-14
On
May 25, 2018, the Company and the holders of the majority of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2014 NPA
Notes and holders of the majority of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the 2007 NPA Notes agreed to
extend to November 14, 2020, the maturity date of the 2014 NPA
Notes and the 2007 NPA Notes. All other terms relating to the
outstanding 2007 NPA Notes and the 2014 NPA Notes were not
modified. The Company is entitled to utilize the amounts available
for future borrowing under each of the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement
and the 2014 Note Purchase Agreement through November 14,
2020.
As
a result of the modification, any unamortized discount will be
amortized into interest expense through the new maturity date of
November 14, 2020.
During
2018, the Company borrowed an additional $4,715,000 under the 2014
NPA from UBP. The market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of each issuance of the 2014 NPA Notes to
UBP was higher than the conversion price, which resulted in a
beneficial conversion feature totaling $1,850,035 and a
corresponding debt discount, which is being amortized into interest
expense through the maturity date of the Notes.
During
the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 a total of
$12,075,000 of notes were converted into 8,444,056 shares of
Company's common stock at the stated conversion price of $1.43 per
share. Related party debt was $12,000,000 of the
converted amount.
On
October 30, 2018 following request from UBP, the Company
simultaneously repaid $2,000,000 of 2014 NPA Notes and
borrowed $2,000,000 by issuing 2007 NPA Notes in a cashless
note exchange with UBP.
During
2018 the Company sold $525,000 of unsecured subordinated
short term notes to a related party. The notes mature in
November of 2020 and have an interest rate of 8%.
In
September of 2018 the Company changed the frequency of interest
payments on its 2007 NPA Notes, 2014 NPA Notes and other related
party note from quarterly to twice per year in January and July of
each year until maturity.

Convertible notes issued under 2014 NPA
The aggregate principal amount of 2014 NPA Notes that may be
issued under the 2014 NPA is $40 million, of which $19,440,000 had
been borrowed as of December 31, 2018. The 2014 NPA
Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, and are subordinated to the $5
million outstanding under the Company’s Loan and Security
Agreement (the “LSA”) with Comerica Bank and to any
promissory notes outstanding under the Company’s existing
2007 NPA program.
The 2014 NPA Notes
have the following terms:
●
a
maturity date of the earlier of (i) November 14, 2020, (ii) a
Change of Control (as defined in the 2014 NPA), or (iii) when, upon
or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
2014 NPA), other than for a bankruptcy related, such amounts are
declared due and payable by at least two-thirds of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the 2014 NPA Notes;
●
an
interest rate of 8% per year, with accrued interest payable in cash
in semi-annual installments with the final installment payable on
the maturity date of the note;
●
a
conversion price per share that is fixed at $1.43 per
share;
●
optional
conversion upon noteholder request; provided that, if at the time
of any such request, the Company does not have a sufficient number
of shares of common stock authorized to allow for such conversion,
the noteholder may only convert that portion of their Notes
outstanding for which the Company has a sufficient number of
authorized shares of common stock. To the extent multiple
noteholders under the 2014 NPA, the 2007 NPA, or both, request
conversion of its notes on the same date, any limitations on
conversion shall be applied on a pro rata basis. In such case, the
noteholder may request that the Company call a special meeting of
its stockholders specifically for the purpose of increasing the
number of shares of common stock authorized to cover conversions of
the remaining portion of the notes outstanding as well as the
maximum issuances contemplated pursuant to the Company’s 2004
Equity Compensation Plan, within 90 calendar days after the
Company’s receipt of such request; and
●
may not
be prepaid without the consent of holders of at least two-thirds of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2014 NPA
Notes.
F-15
Convertible notes issued under 2007 NPA
The aggregate principal amount of 2007 NPA Notes that may be
issued under the 2007 NPA is $33,300,000, of which $32,755,000 had

Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, and are subordinated to the $5
million outstanding under the LSA with Comerica
Bank.
As amended, the

occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the amended 2007
NPA) such amounts are declared due and payable by a 2007 NPA
Noteholder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with
the terms of the 2007 NPA;
●
an interest rate of
8% per year, with accrued interest payable in cash in semi-annual
installments with the final installment payable on the maturity
date of the note;
●
a conversion price
that is fixed at $1.43 per share; and
●
optional conversion
upon 2007 NPA Noteholder request, provided that, if at the time of
any such request, the Company does not have a sufficient number of
shares of common stock authorized to allow for such conversion, as
well as the issuance of the maximum amount of common stock
permitted under the Company’s 2004 Equity Compensation Plan,
the 2007 NPA Noteholder may request that the Company call a special
meeting of its stockholders specifically for the purpose of
increasing the number of shares of common stock authorized to cover
the remaining portion of the Notes outstanding as well as the
maximum issuances permitted under the 2004 Equity Compensation
Plan.

●
a maturity date of
June 9, 2020;
●
a variable interest
rate at prime plus 0.6% payable quarterly;
●

2019); and
●
acceleration of
payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and
continuation of certain events of default, including but not
limited to, failure by the Company to perform its obligations,
observe the covenants made by it under the LSA, failure to renew
the UBS AG SBLC, and insolvency of the Company.
Capital Leases
On September 4,
2009, the Company entered into a sale transaction whereby it sold
its computer equipment, furniture, fixtures and certain personal
property located at its former principal executive offices in
Durham, North Carolina (collectively, the “Equipment”)
on an “as-is, where-is” basis to the holders of the
Company’s Notes, on a ratable basis in proportion to

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
On July 29, 2013,
the Company signed a 65-month lease for office space in Raleigh,
North Carolina, effective October 30, 2013. The landlord built the
space to the Company’s specifications and provided the
Company with five months free rent as an incentive. Rent expense is
being recognized over the entire 65-month term of the lease on a
straight-line basis. The Company amended the lease on August
20, 2018, which extended the lease through April 2024. As a
result of the amendment the Company has received an incentive from
the landlord valued at approximately $100,000. The Company
intends to take advantage of the incentive through April 30,
2019. Monthly rent is approximately $16,000 per
month.

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.

Equity Compensation Plans
2004 Equity Compensation Plan
The Company adopted
its 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”) as
of March 31, 2004. The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of
incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted
stock, and other direct stock awards to employees (including
officers) and directors of the Company as well as to certain
consultants and advisors. The total number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan is 5,000,000
shares, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, or similar capital change. The Company
can’t make any new grants under the plan.
2016 Equity Compensation
Plan
In May 2016, the Company’s shareholders
authorized adoption of the approved MobileSmith Inc. 2016
Equity Compensation Plan for officers,
directors, employees and consultants, initially reserving for
issuance thereunder 15,000,000 shares of Common
Stock.
The exercise price
for incentive stock options granted under the above plans is
required to be no less than the fair market value of the common
stock on the date the option is granted, except for options granted
to 10% stockholders, which are required to have an exercise price
of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock
on the date the option is granted. Incentive stock options
typically have a maximum term of 10 years, except for option grants
to 10% stockholders, which are subject to a maximum term of five
years. Non-statutory stock options have a term determined by either
the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors. Options granted under the plans are not transferable,
except by will and the laws of descent and
distribution.

INCOME
TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP. Under the
asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
2017. On December 22,
2017, U.S. tax legislation known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
of 2017 (the “TCJA”) was enacted. For corporations, the
TCJA amends existing U.S. Internal Revenue Code by reducing the
corporate income tax rate and modifying several business deduction
and international tax provisions. Specifically, the corporate
income tax rate was reduced to 21% from 34%, which resulted in
revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and
adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance. Other
changes that may have significant future impact on the Company's
financial position relates to net operating losses, which going
forward will have an unlimited carryforward period (previously 20
years) and no carryback period (previously 2 years), but deductions
for such losses are limited to 80% of taxable income (previously
100% of taxable income) beginning with the 2018 tax
year.

As
of December 31, 2018, the Company had U.S. federal net operating
loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $104
million, of which $5.7 million will never expire and approximately
$97.9 million will expire between 2019 and 2039. For state tax
purposes, the NOL carryforwards expire between 2019 and 2034. In
accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the
Company within a three-year period can result in an annual
limitation on the Company’s ability to utilize its NOL
carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the
change in ownership.
The
Company has reviewed its tax positions and has determined that it
has no significant uncertain tax positions at December 31,
2018.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure 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 quarter ended December 31,
2018. 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
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 and the
identification of the material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting as described below under
“Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting", our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December
31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective at the reasonable assurance
level.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our
management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and
fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that:
(i)
|
pertain to the
maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of our management and directors; and
|
|
|
(iii)
|
provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
|
All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation.
In making the
assessment of adequate internal control over financial reporting,
our management used the criteria issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013). We have identified
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting related to the proper valuation of beneficial conversion
feature of our currently outstanding convertible
debentures. Based on that assessment and those
criteria, management believes that our internal control over
financial reporting were not effective as of December
31, 2018. As a result of the identified material
weakness we have put together a remediation plan which includes
hiring additinal resources to assist in evaluation of non-recurring
and unusual transactions and to increase capacity of Finance
department to serve both operational and compliance
needs.
During our fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2018, there were no changes made in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
The members of the
Board, its executive officers, and persons who hold more than 10%
of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, $0.001
par value per share, or common stock, are subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which requires them to file
reports with respect to their ownership of the Company’s
common stock and their transactions in such common stock. Based
upon the Company’s review of the Section 16(a) reports in its
records for fiscal year 2018 transactions in the Company’s
common stock, the Company believes that all reporting requirements
under Section 16(a) for fiscal year 2018 were met in a timely
manner by its directors, executive officers, and greater than 10%
beneficial owners, except that Union Bancaire
Privée, or UBP, has not filed a Form 3 or any subsequent
reports in respect of its ownership of 7,167,832 shares
of Company common stock and $24,457,180 in principal amount of the
Company’s convertible Notes, which Notes may be
converted into shares of the Company’s common stock by UBP at
any time upon notice, as of December 31, 2018.

Code
of Ethics
The Company has
adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its executives, including
the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and
principal accounting officer, as defined by applicable rules of the
SEC. The Company will promptly deliver free of charge, upon
request, a copy the Code of Ethics to any stockholder requesting a
copy. Requests should be directed to the Company’s Chief
Financial Officer at 5400 Trinity Rd., Suite 208, Raleigh, NC,
27607. If the Company makes any amendments to the Code
of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other
non-substantive amendments, or grants any waivers, including
implicit waivers, from a provision of the Code of Ethics to the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Operating Officer or certain other finance executives, the
Company will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its
effective date, and to whom it applies in a Current Report on Form
8-K.
The Board
The size of the
Board is currently comprised of six members. The Board
believes that the current number of directors is appropriate at
this time; however, the Board will consider adding members in the
future with additional skills and professional connections that
will be of benefit to the Company.
We do not have any
defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit
recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of
directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a
specific nominating policy would be premature and of little
assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced
level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum
criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and
we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating
such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates,
whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make
recommendations for election or appointment. A shareholder who
wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by
directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive
Officer, Randy Tomlin, at the address appearing on the first page
of this report.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial
Expert
The board of
directors formed an audit committee on February 1, 2018 and adopted
audit committee charter. Messrs. Hemmig, Smith and
Shviki, serve on the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has
determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent
within the meaning of the Company's and NASDAQ's director
independence standards and the SEC's heightened director
independence standards for Audit Committee members as determined
under the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors has also determined
that Messrs. Hemmig and Smith qualify as
"Audit Committee financial experts" under the rules of the
SEC.

Amounts in this
column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value computed in
accordance with FASB ASC 718 with respect to employee stock options
granted under our Equity Incentive Plan. The assumptions used to
calculate the fair value of stock option grant are set forth in
Note 2 (Significant Accounting Policies) to our financial
statements, which are included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K. The grant-date fair value does not necessarily reflect
the value of shares which may be received in the future with
respect to these awards. The fair value of the stock options will
likely vary from the actual value the holder receives because the
actual value depends on the number of options exercised and the
market price of our Common Stock on the date of
exercise.
