1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Snap Interactive, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Snap Mobile Limited (collectively, the “Company”). The Company was organized to operate an online dating application and a stand-alone website. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The Company has not included certain information normally included in annual financial statements pursuant to those rules and regulations, although it believes that the disclosure included herein is adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information contains all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in the stockholders’ equity (deficit) of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2015, or for any other period.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Form 10-K, except for the following:

Significant Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and subscription revenue refunds, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation, derivative instruments, debt discounts, conversion features and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates. 

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and bifurcates conversion features from the instruments containing such features and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying instrument, (b) the hybrid instrument that contains both the embedded derivative instrument and the underlying instrument is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the underlying instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement in common stock or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that certain freestanding derivatives, including the conversion feature embedded in the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) and warrants issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2015, by and between the Company and Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Sigma II”), contained reset provisions and have been classified as derivative liabilities as more fully described in Note 5. 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early-adopt ASU 2015-03 in connection with the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, and, as a result, recorded the $314,249 of offering costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Note as a debt discount on the date the Note was issued that will be amortized over the term of the Note. 

3. Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: 

Credit card payments for subscriptions and micro-transactions typically settle several days after the date of purchase. The amount of unsettled transactions due from credit card payment processors was $129,941 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to $135,535 as of December 31, 2014. The amount of accounts receivable due from Apple Inc. was $117,446, or 51.3% of the Company’s accounts receivable, as of June 30, 2015, compared to $116,427, or 52.6% of the Company’s accounts receivable, as of December 31, 2014. 

4. Security Deposits

In October 2014, the Company issued a $135,000 security deposit which replaced the previous letter of credit as part of the new capital lease obligations for equipment with Hewlett Packard Financial Services Company (“HP”). The Company recorded $135,000 under long-term security deposits on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In February 2015, the Company issued $200,659 as a security deposit as part of the new office rent lease (see Note 14). The Company recorded the $200,659 under long-term security deposits on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value framework under the FASB’s guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment.  The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

The following table summarizes the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015:

The following table summarizes the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014:

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques:

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

The Company deems financial instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. The common stock purchase warrants and the conversion feature embedded in the Note do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at a lower price in the future. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase common stock in January 2011 in conjunction with an equity financing.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. In addition, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2015, by and between the Company and Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC (“Sigma”), that contains certain provisions whereby the Company will be required to make certain make-whole cash payments to the holder of the Note payable upon the occurrence of certain future events, as more fully described in Note 10. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have also been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in each subsequent period.

The Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In order to calculate fair value, the Company uses a custom model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert. This model calculates the fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities at each measurement date using a Monte-Carlo style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model. 

The following table summarizes the values of certain assumptions used by the Company’s custom model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The following table summarizes the values of certain assumptions used by the Company’s custom model to estimate the fair value of the conversion feature liability as of June 30, 2015:

For the purposes of determining fair value, the Company used “adjusted volatility” in favor of “historical volatility” in its Monte-Carlo style simulation.  Historical volatility of the Company was calculated using weekly stock prices over a look back period corresponding to the remaining contractual term of the warrants as of each valuation date.  Management considered the lack of marketability of these instruments by incorporating a 10% incremental discount rate through a reduction of the volatility estimate (also known as volatility haircut) to calculate the adjusted volatility as of each valuation date.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

6. Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets, Net

Fixed assets and intangible assets, net consisted of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $35,188 and $96,007, respectively, as compared to $43,610 and $86,873 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company only holds fixed assets in the United States.

During March 2015, the Company disposed of fixed assets, primarily consisting of leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures, in connection with the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters. The net loss on the disposal of the fixed assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $79,628.

7. Notes Receivable

At June 30, 2015, the Company had notes receivable due in the aggregate amount of $79,800 from two former employees.  The employees issued the notes to the Company since the Company paid taxes for stock-based compensation on these employees’ behalf in 2011 and 2012.  The outstanding amounts under the notes are secured by pledged stock certificates and are due at various times during 2021-2023.  Interest accrues on these notes at rates ranging from 2.80% to 3.57% per annum.

8. Income Taxes

The Company had no income tax benefit or provision for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  Since the Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no income tax expense for either period.  Increases in deferred tax balances have been offset by a valuation allowance and have no impact on the Company’s deferred income tax provision.

SNAP INTERACTIVE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known for the period and applies that rate to the earnings or losses for the most recent interim period.  The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement income and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  The effect of a discrete item, such as changes in estimates, changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs.  The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or changes in tax laws or regulations.

9. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

10. Notes and Convertible Note Payable

Notes Payable

On April 24, 2014, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 to a related party, Clifford Lerner, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The promissory note was originally due and payable on January 24, 2015, but was subsequently amended to extend its maturity for an additional nine months and was due and payable on October 24, 2015 and bore interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. On March 25, 2015, the promissory note was repaid in full (see Note 16).

On May 20, 2014, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $100,000 and a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of its common stock to Thomas Carrella. The promissory note was due and payable on February 20, 2015 and bore interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrant using Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded $4,750 of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the warrant that were amortized over the term of the promissory note. On February 20, 2015, the promissory note was repaid in full.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On February 13, 2015, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company closed a private placement of debt and equity securities for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Sigma II (i) 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) the Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 and (iii) a warrant to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company incurred financing costs of $314,249 in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement that will be amortized over the term of the Note. Amortization for the deferred financing cost was $39,174 and $59,406 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

SNAP INTERACTIVE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on the earlier of February 13, 2017 or a change in control. During any time while the Note is outstanding, the outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Sigma II at a conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including reset adjustments to the conversion price if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future, as disclosed in Note 5. The Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of its assets and property. The Note is also secured by up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of Snap Mobile Limited, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Snap Mobile Limited is also a guarantor of the Note. An event of default under the Note includes, among other things, (i) the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due and payable when and as required, (ii) failure of a representation or warranty made by the Company to be correct and accurate when made, (iii) the institution of bankruptcy or similar proceedings against the Company and (iv) the Company’s inability to pay debts as they become due. The Note also requires the Company to maintain an aggregate cash balance of $1,350,000 in its bank accounts or it will be required to make partial prepayments on the Note. If the Company fails to maintain this aggregate cash balance in its bank accounts for a thirty day period, it is required to make a $125,000 prepayment on the Note. For each subsequent calendar month that the aggregate cash balance in the Company’s bank accounts does not equal or exceed $1,500,000, the Company must make an additional $125,000 prepayment on the Note.

The Note contains a compound embedded derivative consisting of an embedded conversion feature and interest make-whole provisions and was accounted for as a derivative liability with an aggregate fair value of $950,000. In addition, the fair value of the warrants was $798,000 and was also required to be accounted for as a derivative liability. Both instruments were also recorded as debt discounts on the date the Note was issued. The Company is amortizing the debt discount using the effective interest method over the life of the Note, which is two years. Contractual interest expense under the Note incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $90,000 and $136,000, respectively.

Simultaneously with the closing of the private placement, the Company entered into the Advisory Agreement with Sigma pursuant to which Sigma agreed to provide the Company with certain advisory and consulting services. In connection with the Advisory Agreement, the Company issued Sigma 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the shares of common stock and the warrant issued were fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date that the Advisory Agreement was entered into. Based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the criteria outlined in ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, the Company determined that the common stock and warrants issued were additional consideration provided to Sigma in connection with the issuance of the Note. As a result, the Company recorded the grant date fair value of the common stock and warrants of $30,000 and $342,000, respectively, as debt discounts on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In addition to the issuance of common stock and warrants under the Advisory Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Sigma a monthly advisory fee of $10,000, up to an aggregate limit of $240,000, subject to certain exceptions, over the life of the Note (the “Cash Payment”). If the Company were to prepay the Note or the repayment of the Note was accelerated for certain reasons, the Company would still be required to remit either a portion or the full amount of the Cash Payment. The Company also agreed to pay Sigma a cash payment of $150,000 if the Company effectuates a dilutive issuance (as defined) while the Note is outstanding (the “Dilutive Cash Payment”). The Company determined that, based on the make-whole features associated with the Cash Payment and the contingent make-whole features associated with the Dilutive Cash Payment, that these payments are required to be treated as derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of these instruments was included in the value of the compound embedded derivative discussed above.

Amortization expense relating to the debt discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $264,274 and $397,863, respectively, which is included as interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Snap Interactive, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the Company to award stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, shares of performance stock, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards to its employees (including an employee who is also a director or officer under certain circumstances), non-employee directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan is 7,500,000 shares, 100% of which may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options. As of June 30, 2015, there were 3,495,272 shares available for future issuance under the Plan.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

The expected life of the options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise.  The expected life of options has been determined using the "simplified" method as prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.  The volatility of the Company’s common stock is calculated using the Company’s historical volatilities beginning at the grant date and going back for a period of time equal to the expected life of the award.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:  

At June 30, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $0 and $0, respectively.  At June 30, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $0 and $3,150, respectively. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the fair value of such awards as of the period-end date. The aggregate fair value for the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $89,158.

Stock-based compensation expense relating to stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $46,313 and $70,406, respectively, as compared to $28,379 and $76,033 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company estimates potential forfeitures of stock awards and adjusts recorded stock-based compensation expense accordingly.  The estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates.  Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized in future periods.  

At June 30, 2015, there was $419,557 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.23 years.

12. Common Stock Warrants 

Warrant Liability

In January 2011, the Company completed an equity financing that raised gross proceeds of $8,500,000 from the issuance of 4,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,125,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable any time on or before January 19, 2016 and have an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Company received $7,915,700 in net proceeds from the equity financing after deducting offering expenses of $584,300. The exercise price of the warrants and number of shares of common stock to be received upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions.

The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 255,000 shares of its common stock to the Company’s placement agent and advisors in January 2011 in connection with the equity financing as consideration for their services. These warrants have the same terms, including exercise price, registration rights and expiration, as the warrants issued to the investors in the equity financing.

The Company has recorded a derivative liability on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of the warrants. The warrants are valued at the end of each reporting period with changes recorded as marked-to-market adjustment on derivative liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of these warrants was $23,425 on June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, based on a model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert. The gain on change in fair value of these warrants was $0 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0 and $70,275 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was not presented within loss from operations.

On February 13, 2015, the Company issued a warrant to each of Sigma II and Sigma to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares and 4,500,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock in connection with the issuance of the Note and the execution of the Advisory Agreement as previously disclosed in Note 10. The warrants were immediately exercisable on February 13, 2015 and expire on the earlier of (a) February 13, 2020 or (b) a change in control. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including reset adjustments to the exercise price if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future, as disclosed in Note 5.

The Company has recorded a derivative liability on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of the warrants. The warrants are valued at the end of each reporting period with changes recorded as marked-to-market adjustment on derivative liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of these warrants was $933,425 on June 30, 2015, based on a model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert. 

Warrant Equity

On May 20, 2014, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of its common stock to Thomas Carrella in connection with the issuance of a promissory note.  The warrant has an exercise price equal to $0.32 per share and, if unexercised, expires on May 20, 2019. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrant issued to Mr. Carrella using Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded $4,750 of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the warrant that was amortized over the term of the promissory note.

The following table summarizes warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015: 

13. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed based upon the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding as defined by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Diluted net loss per share of common stock includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and stock equivalents. To the extent stock options, stock equivalents, shares underlying the Note and warrants are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, 46,722,228 shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note payable, the exercise of stock options and warrants, and unvested restricted stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, 16,917,278 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock:

The term of the lease runs until March 4, 2022. The Company’s monthly office rent payments under the lease will be approximately $25,000 per month for the first year of the term of the lease, which will escalate on an annual basis each year thereafter. Rent expense under this lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $82,552 and $110,069, respectively.

Capital Lease Agreements

In October 2014, two HP lease agreements were canceled due to price negotiations and we entered into two new three-year lease agreements with HP for equipment and certain financed items. In December 2014, we cancelled our remaining operating lease agreements and entered into two additional three-year capital lease agreements with notes. The Company recognized these leases on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under capitalized lease obligations. Amortization for equipment under capital leases was $18,217 and $36,434 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Other Agreements

In June 2014, the Company entered into a Membership Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Zoosk, Inc. (“Zoosk”) whereby it received an upfront payment of $500,000 in two installments in exchange for implementing certain integration features on the Company’s AYI.com website and application that advertise Zoosk during the term of the Acquisition Agreement. The Company was entitled to a payout for each person that registered with Zoosk through the integration features during the term of the Acquisition Agreement. The term of the Acquisition Agreement commenced on August 15, 2014 and ended on November 13, 2014. In 2014, the Company earned $170,835 under the Acquisition Agreement and recorded the remaining amount of $329,165 as an advance repayment under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid the advance repayment.

15. Related Party Transactions

On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Darrell Lerner and DCL in connection with his separation from the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company purchased (i) 50,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 in April 2013, (ii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in July 2013, (iii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in October 2013, (iv) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in January 2014, (v) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in April 2014, (vi) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000 in July 2014 and (vii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000 in September 2014. These nonmarketable securities have been recorded in “Investments” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet measured on a cost basis.

On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Darrell Lerner, pursuant to which Mr. Lerner agreed to serve as a consultant to the Company for a three-year period, beginning on February 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lerner agreed to assist and advise the Company on legal, financial and other matters for which he has knowledge that pertains to the Company, as the Company reasonably requests. As compensation for his services, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lerner a monthly fee of $25,000 for the initial two year period of the agreement and a monthly fee of $5,000 for every month thereafter. The monthly payments under the agreement are conditioned upon Mr. Lerner’s compliance with a customary confidentiality covenant covering certain information concerning the Company, a covenant not to compete during the term of the agreement and for a period of one year following the termination of the agreement, a non-disparagement covenant regarding the Company and a non-solicitation covenant for a period of six months immediately following the later of the termination of the agreement or the end of the term of the agreement.

The consulting agreement is for a three-year period; provided, however, that the Company may terminate the agreement at any time without notice and may renew the term of the agreement by providing written notice to Mr. Lerner prior to or at the expiration of the term. If the Company terminates the agreement without “cause” (as defined in the agreement) prior to the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company has agreed to (i) pay Mr. Lerner the amount of the monthly fees owed to Mr. Lerner for the period from the Effective Date to the two year anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) take all commercially reasonably actions to cause (A) 325,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company previously granted to Mr. Lerner, (B) 600,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company previously granted to Mr. Lerner and (iii) 150,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company granted to Mr. Lerner pursuant to the agreement, to be vested as of the date of such termination.

On April 24, 2014, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 to a related party, Clifford Lerner, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. On March 25, 2015, the promissory note was repaid in full.

Overview

We operate a portfolio of two dating applications, AYI and The Grade, which are available through desktop and mobile platforms. Our dating applications and the revenues generated therefrom are supported by a large user database of approximately 30 million users. Our management believes that the scale of our user database presents a competitive advantage in the dating industry and can present growth opportunities to build future dating brands or to commercialize by presenting third party advertising.
 

AYI

We provide a leading online dating application under the AYI brand that is native on Facebook, iOS and Android^TM platforms and is also accessible on mobile devices and desktops at AYI.com. AYI was the #2 grossing application in the U.S. Lifestyle Category on Apple^® App Store^SM in the United States as of August 1, 2015.  As of August 1, 2015, AYI had approximately 95,700 active subscribers which constituted a 5% decrease in active subscribers since December 31, 2014. New subscription transactions for AYI for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 6% as compared to as compared to the same period in 2014. In the near future, we expect that our focus for AYI will be on cash efficiency rather than growth to invest in our other portfolio initiatives.

Our AYI application is available to users and active subscribers. Our AYI application is extremely scalable and requires limited incremental operational cost to add users, active subscribers or new features catering to additional discrete audiences. We believe that the number of active subscribers is directly correlated to our spending on advertising and marketing. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our spending on advertising and marketing was lower than the three months ended March 31, 2015, which we believe resulted in a slight decrease in the number of active subscribers, as seen in the chart below:

The Grade

We also provide an online dating application under The Grade brand that is native on iOS and Android^TM. The Grade is a new mobile application that we launched in November 2014 to pursue our strategy of providing a portfolio of dating and social applications. The Grade is a mobile dating application that holds users accountable to a high standard of behavior by using a proprietary algorithm that assigns letter grades to users ranging from “A+” to “F” based on profile quality, response rate and message quality. Users with a grade of “D” receive a warning and instructions on how to improve their grade, while users who fail to improve an “F” grade are at risk of expulsion. By providing user grades and expelling low-quality users who receive an “F” grade, The Grade aims to create a community of high-quality users who are desirable, articulate and responsive.

The Grade is presently building an audience focusing on New York as its core market for user adoption. During this introductory growth phase, the application is offered free to users. The Grade has recently experienced an 81% increase in swipes in the second quarter of 2015, when compared to the first quarter of 2015, as seen in the chart below. Since its launch, The Grade has achieved cumulative user activity of more than 20 million swipes.

Recent Developments

Appointment of Independent Board Member

On May 22, 2015, our Board of Directors increased the size of our Board of Directors from two to three members and appointed Steven Fox, DDS, as the first independent member of our Board of Directors. Dr. Fox will initially serve as a director until our annual meeting of stockholders in 2016.

Operational Highlights and Objectives

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we executed key components of our objectives:

For the near term, our business objectives include:

Sources of Revenue

AYI operates on a “freemium” model, whereby certain application features are free to all users and other features are only available to paid subscribers. We generate revenue primarily when users purchase a subscription to obtain unlimited messaging and certain other premium features. We also generate a small portion of our revenue through micro-transactions that allow users to access other premium features and advertisements on our AYI application.

Currently, while The Grade is building its user community, it is offered for free to users. We have no immediate plans to introduce a means of generating revenue from The Grade.

Subscription. We provide AYI users with the opportunity to purchase a subscription that provides for unlimited messaging and other premium features for the length of the subscription term. We believe that AYI users choose to become paid subscribers to communicate freely with potential matches and to enhance the online dating experience.

The majority of our revenue is generated from AYI subscriptions originating through the Facebook platform, and a significant amount of our revenue is generated from subscriptions through mobile platforms.

Users can purchase AYI subscriptions through various payment methods including credit card, electronic check, PayPal, Fortumo or as an in-App purchase through Apple Inc.’s App Store. Pursuant to Apple Inc.’s terms of service, Apple Inc. retains 30% of the revenue that is generated from sales through in-App purchases in the United States.

We recognize revenue from monthly AYI premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are provided during the subscription term.

Micro-transactions. We introduced micro-transactions to allow users to access certain premium features by paying for such features without purchasing a recurring AYI subscription. While micro-transactions are not currently a significant driver of revenue, we believe that such micro-transactions increase user engagement with the application and the likelihood that users will become a paid subscriber. Revenue from micro-transactions is recognized over a two-month period.

Advertising. Our advertising revenue derived from AYI primarily consists of revenue from display ads. We generally reported our advertising revenue net of amounts due to agencies, brokers and counterparties. We recognize advertising revenue as earned on a click-through, impression, registration or subscription basis. When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicks on or through our application (CPA basis), or clicks on an offer to subscribe to premium features on our application, the contract amount is recognized as revenue.

We also generate advertising revenue from AYI through advertising agreements with third parties. In June 2014, we entered into a Membership Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Zoosk, Inc. (“Zoosk”) whereby we received an upfront payment of $500,000 in two installments in exchange for implementing certain integration features on our AYI.com website and application that advertise Zoosk during the term of the Acquisition Agreement. We were entitled to a payout for each person that registered with Zoosk through the integration features during the term of the Acquisition Agreement. The term of the Acquisition Agreement commenced on August 15, 2014 and ended on November 13, 2014. In 2014, we earned $170,835 under the Acquisition Agreement and recorded the remaining amount of $329,165 as advance repayment under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we repaid the advance repayment.  

Costs and Expenses

Programming, hosting and technology.  Our programming, hosting and technology expense includes salary and stock-based compensation for our engineers and developers, data center, domain name and other hosting expenses, software licensing fees and various other technology related expenses.

Compensation. Our compensation expense includes salary and stock-based compensation for management and employees (other than expense for engineers and developers recorded in programming, hosting and technology expenses above).

Professional fees. Our professional fees include fees paid to our independent accounting firm, legal expenses and various other professional fees and expenses incurred in our business.

Advertising and marketing. Our advertising and marketing expense consists of online advertising, primarily consisting of user acquisition campaigns.  We execute these campaigns through direct media buys, affiliates or affiliate networks that advertise or promote our application and earn a fee whenever visitors click through their advertisement to our application or website and create a profile on our application.  For our user acquisition campaigns, we pay to market and advertise our applications across the Internet and mobile devices, including on Facebook and other third party platforms.

General and administrative.  Our general and administrative expense includes investor relations, public relations, credit card processing fees, overhead and various other employee related expenses.

Non-Operating Expenses 

Change in fair value of derivative securities.  The conversion feature in our outstanding 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”), our outstanding warrants, and certain interest make-whole instruments are considered derivative instruments that require liability classification and marked-to-market accounting.  Our derivative liability is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the changes in fair value reported in earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have included the marked-to-market adjustment on derivative liability as a non-operating expense as we do not believe that it is indicative of our core operating results.

We use a custom model that, at each measurement date, calculates the fair value of the derivative liability using a Monte-Carlo style simulation that uses the following assumptions at each valuation date:  (i) closing common stock price, (ii) contractual exercise price, (iii) remaining contractual term, (iv) historical volatility of the common stock price, (v) an adjusted volatility that incorporates a 10% incremental discount rate premium (a reduction of the volatility estimate) to reflect the lack of marketability of the conversion feature in the Note and our outstanding warrants, (vi) risk-free interest rates that are commensurate with the term of the conversion feature in the Note and our outstanding warrants and (vii) management assessment of the probability of a change of control at various price points.

An increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liability will decrease or increase the amount of our earnings, respectively, separate from income or loss from operations.  The primary cause of the change in the fair value of the derivative liability is the value of our common stock. If our common stock price goes up, the value of these derivatives will generally increase and if our common stock price goes down, the value of these derivatives will generally decrease.

Key Metrics

Our management relies on certain performance indicators to manage and evaluate our business.  The key performance indicators set forth below help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies.  We also discuss net cash used in operating activities under the ‟Results of Operations” and ‟Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections below. Active subscribers, bookings and Adjusted EBITDA are discussed below. 

Active Subscribers

We believe that the number of active subscribers is a key operating metric to assess the potential of the recurring revenue stream of the AYI application. "Active subscribers" means current users that have prepaid a subscription fee for current access to the AYI application and whose subscription period has not yet expired. We plan to increase this metric by increasing user acquisition campaigns, building a recognizable brand and increasing user engagement on AYI through the development of a superior feature set. 

Bookings 

Bookings is a financial measure representing the aggregate dollar value of subscription fees and micro-transactions received during the period but is not a financial measure that is calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  We calculate bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized during the period.  We record subscription revenue from subscription fees and micro-transactions as deferred subscription revenue and then recognize that revenue ratably over the length of the subscription term.  Our management uses bookings internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and to assess the effectiveness of, and plan future, user acquisition campaigns.  We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business because we believe, as compared to subscription revenue, it is a better indicator of the subscription activity in a given period.  We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to bookings in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

While the factors that affect bookings and subscription revenue are generally the same, certain factors may affect subscription revenue more or less than such factors affect bookings in any period.  While we believe that bookings is useful in evaluating our business, it should be considered as supplemental in nature and it is not meant to be a substitute for subscription revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of subscription revenue to bookings for each of the periods presented:

Limitations of Bookings

Some limitations of bookings as a financial measure include that:

Because of these limitations, you should consider bookings along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred subscription revenue, net loss and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude interest income (expense), net, depreciation and amortization expense, gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss on disposal of fixed assets and stock-based compensation expense.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to develop short- and long-term operational plans, and to allocate resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the cash operating income generated by our business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of competitors.

Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and our other GAAP results. The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations data for each of the periods indicated as a percentage of total revenues:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Revenues decreased to $3,188,539 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $3,450,010 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is mainly driven by a decrease in advertising revenue principally derived from the discontinuation of the Business Development Agreement (the “Business Development Agreement”) with Match.com, L.L.C. (“Match.com”) in 2014 and a slight decrease in subscription revenue due to a decrease in new promotional subscriptions, a decrease in the number of active subscribers and unfavorable changes in exchange rates for international currencies.

The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue and total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and the three months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease between those periods, the percentage decrease between those periods, and the percentage of total revenue that each represented for those periods:

Subscription - Our subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $75,134, or 2.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  This slight decrease in subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in new transaction volume, particularly in new six-month subscriptions, as well as a decrease in subscription prices as a result of periodic promotions. In addition, there was a negative impact to the year-over-year revenues resulting from unfavorable foreign exchange rates in recent periods. Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 96.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 91.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. 

Advertising - Our advertising revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $186,337, or 62.3%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in advertising revenue resulted from the termination of the Business Development Agreement with Match.com in August 2014. We have recently entered into arrangements with multiple advertising partners which we expect will increase advertising revenue for the remainder of 2015. Advertising revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 3.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 8.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflect a decrease in costs and expenses of $277,196, or 7.5%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The following table presents our costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the increase or decrease between those periods and the percentage increase or decrease between those periods:

Programming, Hosting and Technology - Our programming, hosting and technology expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $192,309, or 28.7%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in this expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily driven by the capitalization of equipment leased from HP, as well as reduced headcount. Programming, hosting and technology expense as a percentage of total revenues was 15.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 19.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Compensation - Our compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which excludes the cost of developers and programmers included in programming, hosting and technology expense decreased by $87,743, or 10.1%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily driven by lower consulting expenses and reduced headcount in management and support areas as compared to the comparable period in 2014. Compensation expense as a percentage of total revenues was 24.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 25.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Professional fees - Our professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $86,148, or 32.8%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to reduced accounting fees and legal fees. Professional fees as a percentage of total revenues were 5.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 7.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Advertising and Marketing - Our advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $227,344, or 20.5%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by an increase in the number and magnitude of user acquisition campaigns.  Advertising and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues was 42.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 32.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

General and Administrative - Our general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $138,340, or 17.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the comparable period in the prior year, was primarily driven by lower fixed asset depreciation, decrease in third party server license expense and a decrease in investor relations related fees. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Non-Operating Expense

The following table presents the components of non-operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and the three months ended June 30, 2014, the increase or decrease between those periods and the percentage increase or decrease between those periods:

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $430,611, a net increase of $425,033, or 7,619.8%, as compared to $5,578 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The interest expense represents the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance cost relating to the issuance of the Note, along with the contractual interest incurred on the Note. Interest expense, net represented (13.5)% and (0.2)% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

Our derivative liability is marked-to-market in each reporting period, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The marked-to-market gain of $410,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 represented the changes in fair value of the derivative liability during those periods. The gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities represented 12.9% and 0.0% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Revenues decreased to $6,374,622 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $6,742,363 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is mainly driven by advertising revenue principally derived from our Business Development Agreement with Match.com.

The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue and total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, the increase or decrease between those periods, the percentage increase or decrease between those periods, and the percentage of total revenue that each represented for those periods:

Subscription – Our subscription revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $84,844, or 1.3%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in subscription revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily driven by a decrease in new transaction volume, particularly in new six-month subscriptions. In addition, there was a negative impact to the year-over-year revenues resulting from unfavorable foreign exchange rates in recent periods. Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 97.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 93.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Advertising – Our advertising revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $282,897, or 62.5%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in advertising revenue resulted from revenue recognized in 2014 under our Business Development Agreement with Match.com, which was terminated in August 2014. We have recently entered into arrangements with multiple advertising partners which we expect will increase advertising revenue for the remainder of 2015. Advertising revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflect a decrease in costs and expenses of $405,936, or 5.1%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we reduced total costs and expenses, as well as employee headcount. The following table presents our costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, the increase or decrease between those periods and the percentage increase or decrease between those periods: 

Programming, Hosting and Technology – Our programming, hosting and technology expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $607,773 or 37.7%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in this expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily driven by reduced consulting expense, the capitalization of equipment leased and reduced headcount. Programming, hosting and technology expense as a percentage of total revenues was 15.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Compensation – Our compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which excludes the cost of developers and programmers included in programming, hosting and technology expense, decreased by $120,566, or 7.4%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily driven by reduced headcount in management and support areas and reduced consulting expense as compared to the comparable period in 2014. Compensation expense as a percentage of total revenues was 23.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 24.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Professional fees – Our professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $101,670, or 19.8%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily driven by a decrease in legal and accounting fees.  Professional fees as a percentage of total revenues were 6.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 7.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Advertising and Marketing – Our advertising and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $481,230, or 18.6%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in advertising and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by an increase in the number and magnitude of user acquisition campaigns. Advertising and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues was 48.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 38.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

General and Administrative – Our general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $57,157, or 3.4%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the comparable period in the prior year, was primarily driven by lower investor and public relations expenses, reduced headcount and a decrease in third party server license expense partially offset by the loss from disposal of fixed assets relating to the relocation of the corporate office.  General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 25.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Non-Operating Income (Expense)

The following table presents the components of non-operating income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease between those periods and the percentage decrease between those periods:

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $667,015, an increase of $663,310, or 17,903.1%, as compared to interest expense, net $3,705 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The interest expense represents the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance cost relating to the issuance of the Note, along with the contractual interest on the Note. Interest expense, net represented (10.5)% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to (0.1)% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. 

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

Our derivative liability is marked-to-market at each reporting period, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The marked-to-market gain of $410,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $70,275 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 represented the changes in fair value of the derivative liability during those periods. The gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities represented 6.4% and 1.0% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations through cash generated from debt and equity offerings, cash provided from operations and promissory notes from investors.

A significant portion of our expenses are related to user acquisition costs. Our advertising and marketing expenses are primarily spent on channels where we can estimate the return on investment without long-term commitments. Accordingly, we can adjust our advertising and marketing expenditures quickly based on the expected return on investment, which provides flexibility and enables us to manage our advertising and marketing expense.

As of June 30, 2015, we had $1,914,728 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,138,385 as of December 31, 2014.  Historically, our working capital has been generated through operations and equity offerings. If we grow and expand our operations, our need for working capital will increase. We intend to finance our business and growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof.

We have also incurred debt as a means of generating liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we repaid in full two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000. As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding principal amount of our debt was $3,000,000, which consisted of the Note, which is discussed in more detail below.

Sigma II Note

On February 13, 2015, we issued the Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 to Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Sigma II”) in a private placement. The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on the earlier of February 13, 2017 or a change in control. During any time while the Note is outstanding, the outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of Sigma II at a conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Note requires us to maintain an aggregate cash balance of $1,350,000 million in our bank accounts or we will be required to make partial prepayments on the Note. If we fail to maintain this aggregate cash balance in our bank accounts for a thirty day period, we are required to make a $125,000 prepayment on the Note. For each subsequent calendar month that the aggregate cash balance in our bank accounts does not equal or exceed $1,500,000 million, we must make an additional $125,000 prepayment on the Note. Our obligations under the Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets and property. The Note is secured by up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of Snap Mobile Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary. Snap Mobile Limited is also a guarantor of the Note. We intend to use the proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Contractual interest expense under the Note incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $90,000 and $136,000, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,446,642 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $765,694 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase in net cash used in operating activities of $680,678 was a result of a decrease in our payables and accrued expenses mainly driven by the one-time repayment of the advance under the Acquisition Agreement with Zoosk, an increase of security deposit expenses in connection with the relocation of our corporate office and a decrease in deferred revenue. Other items impacting our cash flow were significant cash outlays relating to advertising and marketing expenses which were offset in part by collections in subscription revenue received during the period. 

Significant items impacting cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2014 included significant cash outlays relating to advertising and marketing expense. These uses of cash were offset in part by collections in subscription revenue received during the period. 

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $32,287 and $5,913, respectively.  Cash used in investing activities included purchases of property and equipment totaling $37,007 and $3,731 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These purchases consisted primarily of computers and office furniture. Purchases of property and equipment may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations and software development.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,255,272 and $400,000, respectively.

The increase relates to the issuance of the Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 to Sigma II during the six months ended June 30, 2015, which was partially offset by the repayment of two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 and payments for our capital lease obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a lease for office space located at 320 West 37th Street, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10018 and paid a security deposit in the amount of $200,659. The term of the lease runs until March 4, 2022. The Company’s monthly office rent payments under the lease will be approximately $25,000 per month for the first year of the term of the lease, which will escalate on an annual basis each year thereafter.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early-adopt ASU 2015-03 in connection with the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and, as a result, recorded the $314,249 of offering costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Note as a debt discount on the date the Note was issued that will be amortized over the term of the Note. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and refunds on subscription revenue, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.  Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.  Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those contained in the Form 10-K, except for the following:

Significant Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and refunds on subscription revenue, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation, derivative instruments, debt discounts, conversion features and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.  Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.  Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

We classify common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement shares of our common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We classify any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control, (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares of our common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. We assess classification of our freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. We determined that certain freestanding derivatives, including the embedded conversion feature and warrants issued in connection with the private placement completed in February of 2015 (See Note 10 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) contained reset provisions and have been classified as derivative liabilities as more fully described in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on the evaluation as of June 30, 2015, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control our financial reporting as of June 30, 2015, the Company determined that the following item constituted a material weakness:

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

To our knowledge, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in “Item 1A.  Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K, except for the following:

We have faced, and we expect that we will continue to face, chargeback liability when our credit card providers resolve chargebacks in favor of their customers. We cannot accurately anticipate the extent of these liabilities, and if not properly addressed, these liabilities could increase our operating expenses or preclude us from accepting certain credit cards as a method of payment, either of which would materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on the ability to accept credit and debit card payments from our subscribers and our ability to maintain the good standing of our merchant account with our credit card providers to process subscription payments. In the event that one of our customers initiates a billing dispute and one of our credit card providers resolves the dispute in the customer’s favor, the transaction is normally “charged back” to us and the purchase price is credited or otherwise refunded to the customer.

We have suffered losses and we expect that we will continue to suffer losses as a result of subscriptions placed with fraudulent credit card data, as well as users who chargeback their purchases. Any failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions or keep our chargebacks under an acceptable threshold would result in significantly higher credit card-related costs and, therefore, materially increase our operating expenses.

A credit card processor has informed us recently that if our chargeback rate continues to exceed a certain percentage, it may increase our processing fees or suspend our ability to accept certain forms of payment. If any of our processors suspend our ability to collect a form of payment offered by credit card providers, it would significantly impair our ability to collect revenue from subscribers. We may not be able to improve our chargeback rate, and if a processor suspends our ability to collect a form of payment offered by a credit card provider, we may not succeed in entering into a new credit card processing agreement to process such form of payment.
