NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
 
Organization
 
RumbleOn, Inc. (along with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in October 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Smart Server, Inc. (“Smart Server”). On February 13, 2017, the Company changed its name from Smart Server, Inc. to RumbleOn, Inc.
 
Nature of Operations
 
Smart Server was originally formed to engage in the business of designing and developing mobile application payment software for smart phones and tablet computers. After Smart Server ceased its technology development activities in 2014, it had no operations and nominal assets, meeting the definition of a “shell company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and regulations thereunder.
 
In July 2016, Berrard Holdings Limited Partnership (“Berrard Holdings”) acquired 99.5% of the common stock of the Company from the principal stockholder. Shortly after the Berrard Holdings common stock purchase, the Company began exploring the development of a capital light e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned recreation vehicles in one online location. The Company’s goal is for the platform to be widely recognized as the leading online solution for the sale, acquisition, and distribution of recreation vehicles by providing users with the most efficient, timely and transparent experience. The Company’s initial focus is the market for 601cc and larger on road motorcycles, particularly those concentrated in the “Harley-Davidson” brand. The Company will look to extend to other brands and additional vehicle types and products as the platform matures.
 
The Company’s business plan is currently driven by a technology platform it acquired on February 8, 2017 from NextGen Dealer Solutions, LLC (“NextGen”), which the Company owns and operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary NextGen Pro, LLC (“NextGen Pro”). The NextGen platform provides vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship management and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive the online marketplace. For additional information, see Note 3 - “Acquisitions.”
 
Serving both consumers and dealers, through our online platform, we make cash offers for the purchase of their vehicles and intend to provide them the flexibility to trade, list, or auction their vehicle through our website and mobile applications. In addition, we offer a large inventory of used vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. Our operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with dealer partners. We utilize dealer partners in the acquisition of motorcycles as well as to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, we earn fees and transaction income, and dealer partners will earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding. The information at December 31, 2016 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this quarterly report was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2017. The Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the information incorporated by reference into such report, is referred to in this quarterly report as the “2016 Annual Report.” This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report.
 
 
5
 
 
Year-end
 
In October 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from November 30 to December 31.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, carrying value of intangible assets, sales returns, receivables valuation, restructuring-related liabilities, taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is derived from two primary sources: (1) the Company’s online marketplace, which is our largest source of revenue and includes: (i) the sale of used vehicles through consumer, dealers and auction sales channels; (ii) online listing and sales fees; (iii) retail merchandise sales; (iv) vehicle financing; and (v) vehicle service contracts; and (2) subscription and other fees relating to the RumbleOn software solution, which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; and (iv) equity mining.
 
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the Company’s payment is probable.
 
Used Vehicle Sales
 
The Company sells used vehicles to consumers, dealers and at auctions. The source of these vehicles is primarily from the Company’s Sell Us Your Vehicle Program and customers who trade-in their existing vehicles when making a used vehicle purchase.  Revenue from used vehicle sales is recognized when the vehicle is delivered to a consumer, dealer or auction, a sales contract is signed, and the purchase price has either been received or collectability has been established. We guarantee the vehicles we sell with a 3-day, money-back guarantee. Used vehicle sales revenue is recognized net of a reserve for returns, which is based on historical experience and trends.
 
Online Listing and Sales Fees
 
The Company charges a non-refundable fee for sellers to list their vehicle on the RumbleOn website. During the listing period, the Company manages all sales leads, handles all the documentation necessary to complete a sale, accepts a buyer’s trade and provides financing through third-party providers to the potential buyer, if necessary. Upon a successful sale, the seller pays a fee which is based on the difference between the actual retail sales price of the vehicle sold and the net proceeds agreed to be paid by RumbleOn to the seller when the listing agreement was signed. Revenue from non-refundable online listing fees is recognized once the listing agreement is signed, the vehicle is listed for sale and the listing fee has been received. Revenue for selling fees is recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the purchase price has either been received or collectability has been established.
 
Retail Merchandise Sales
 
The Company recognizes sales revenue, net of sales taxes at the time it sells the merchandise or in the case of online sales when the merchandise is delivered to the customer and payment has been received.
 
 
6
 
 
Vehicle Financing
 
Consumers can pay for their vehicle using cash or the Company offers a range of finance options through unrelated third-parties such as banks or credit unions. These third-party providers generally pay the Company a fee either in a flat amount or in an amount equal to the difference between the interest rates charged to customers over the predetermined interest rates set by the financial institution. The Company may be charged back for commissions in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated. Revenue for these finance fees are recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the financing has been arranged.
 
Vehicle Service Contracts
 
At the time of vehicle sale, the Company provides customers, on behalf of unrelated third parties who are the primary obligors, a range of other related products and services, including extended protection plan (“EPP”) products and vehicle appearance protection. EPP products include extended service plans (“ESPs”) that are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”), which is intended to cover the unpaid balance on a vehicle loan in the event of a total loss of the vehicle or unrecovered theft. Vehicle appearance protection includes products aimed at maintaining vehicle appearance. The Company receives commissions from the sale of these product and service contracts and has no contractual liability to customers for claims under these products.  The EPPs and vehicle appearance protection currently offered to consumers provide coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. 
 
Commission revenue is recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is estimated based upon historical industry experience and recent trends and is reflected as a reduction of other sales revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive. 
 
Subscription Fees
 
Subscription fees are generated from dealer partners, under a license arrangement that provides access to our software solution and ongoing support. Select and Appraisal Dealers pay a monthly subscription fee for access to and ongoing support for portions of the RumbleOn software solution which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; and (iv) equity mining. Dealers may also be charged an initial software installation and training fee. Dealers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software and may cancel the license for these products and services by providing a 30-day notice. Installation and training do not have value to the user without the license and ongoing support and maintenance. Because the dealer partner has the right to cancel the license with 30 days’ notice, revenue for installation and training is recognized when complete, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable. Revenue recognition of monthly subscription fees commences upon completion of installation, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable.
 
Purchase Accounting for Business Combinations
 
The Company accounts for acquisitions by allocating the fair value of the consideration transferred to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of the acquisition and any remaining difference is recorded as goodwill. Adjustments may be made to the preliminary purchase price allocation when facts and circumstances that existed on the date of the acquisition surface during the allocation period subsequent to the preliminary purchase price allocation, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value based on the facts and circumstances on the date of the acquisition and any subsequent changes in the fair value are recorded through earnings each reporting period.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each year. Goodwill will also be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company has concluded that currently it has one reporting unit.
 
Determining fair value includes the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management utilizes an income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow analysis as a means for estimating fair value. This discounted cash flow analysis requires various assumptions including those about future cash flows, transactional and customer growth rates and discount rates. Expected cash flows are based on historical customer growth and the growth in transactions, including attrition, future strategic initiatives and continued long-term growth of the business. The discount rates used for the analysis reflect a weighted average cost of capital based on industry and capital structure adjusted for equity risk and size risk premiums. These estimates can be affected by factors such as customer and transaction growth, pricing, and economic conditions that can be difficult to predict.

Intangible Assets
 
Included in “Intangible Assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks, trade names and internet domain names. The estimated fair value of these intangible assets at the time of acquisition are based upon various valuation techniques including replacement cost and discounted future cash flow projections. Trademarks, trade names and internet domain names are not amortized. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected average life of the acquired accounts, which are based upon several factors, including historical longevity of customers and contracts acquired and historical retention rates. Non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which will generally not exceed three years. The Company reviews the recoverability of these assets if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired and periodically reevaluates the estimated remaining lives of these assets.
 
Trademarks, trade names and internet domain names are considered to be indefinite lived intangible assets unless specific evidence exists that a shorter life is more appropriate. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis using an income approach or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized will be measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets or asset groups exceeds the related fair values. The Company also performs a periodic assessment of the useful lives assigned to the long-lived assets.
 
Technology Development Costs
 
Technology development costs are accounted for pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Technology development costs include internally developed software and website applications that are used by the Company for its own internal use and to provide services to its customers, which include consumers, dealer partners and ancillary service providers. Under the terms of these customer arrangements the Company retains the revenue generating technology and hosts the applications on its servers and mobile applications. The customer does not have a contractual right to take possession of the software during the term of the arrangement and are not permitted to run the software itself or contract with another party unrelated to the entity to host the software. Technology development costs consist principally of (i) development activities including payroll and related expenses billed by a third-party contractor involved in application, content, production, maintenance, operation, and platform development for new and existing products and services, (ii) technology infrastructure expenses, and (iii) costs of Company employees devoted to the development and maintenance of software products. Technology and content costs for design, maintenance and post-implementation stages of internal-use software and general website development are expensed as incurred. For costs incurred to develop new website functionality as well as new software products and significant upgrades to existing internally used platforms or modules, capitalization begins during the application development stage and ends when the software is available for general use. Capitalized technology development is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 7 years. The Company will perform periodic assessment of the useful lives assigned to capitalized software applications. Additionally, the Company from time-to-time may abandon additional development activities relating to specific software projects or applications and charge accumulated costs to technology development expense in the period such determination is made.
 
Vehicle Inventory
 
Vehicle inventory is accounted for pursuant to ASC 330, Inventory and consists of the cost to acquire and recondition a used vehicle. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and includes parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to a specific vehicle. Transportation costs are expensed as incurred. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn times of similar vehicles, as well as independent market resources. Each reporting period, the Company recognizes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through cost of sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Valuation Allowance for Accounts Receivable
 
The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including overall credit quality, age of outstanding balances, historical write-off experience and specific account analysis that projects the ultimate collectability of the outstanding balances. Ultimately, actual results could differ from these assumptions.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all cash accounts and all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months.
 
Property and Equipment, Net
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and consists of capitalized technology development costs, furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Costs of significant additions, renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2017. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company, whereas unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
 
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. Inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, are Level 2 inputs.
 
Level 3: If inputs from Levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.” Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
 
Beneficial Conversion Feature
 
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may have conversion prices that create an embedded beneficial conversion feature pursuant to the guidelines established by the ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible security is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain securities that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible security when issued and also records the estimated fair value of any conversion feature issued with those securities. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.
 
The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the conversion feature, if applicable, and as a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method. The Company calculates the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in any convertible security using either a) the Black Scholes valuation model or b) a discount cash flow analysis tested for sensitivity to key Level 3 inputs using Monte Carlo simulation.

Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of vehicle sales includes the cost to acquire vehicles and the reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing the vehicles for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles the Company acquires, the source of those vehicles, and supply and demand dynamics in the vehicle market. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and include parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to specific vehicles. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition or delivery. Cost of sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Cost of subscription and other fee revenue includes the (i) various data feeds from third parties; (ii) hosting of the customer facing website; (iii) commissions for new sales; and (iv) implementation and training of new and existing customers. These costs and expenses are charged to cost of revenue as incurred.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses primarily include compensation and benefits, advertising and marketing, professional fees, technology development expenses, rent and other occupancy costs, insurance, travel and other administrative expenses.
 
Advertising and Marketing Costs
 
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $775,456 and $1,071,398, respectively for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. There were no advertising and marketing costs incurred for the same periods in 2016.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
On January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, the RumbleOn, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other equity awards may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. On June 30, 2017, the Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company estimates the fair value of awards granted under the Plan on the date of grant. The fair value of an RSU is based on the average of the high and low market prices of the Company’s Class B Common Stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over its vesting period; to date, the Company has only issued RSUs that vest over a three-year period utilizing the following vesting schedule: (i) 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and (iii) 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 560,000 RSUs under the Plan to members of the Board of Directors, officers and employees. Compensation expense associated with RSU grants for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $157,763 and $287,550, respectively and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.
 
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2017, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company.

The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017, no income tax expense has been incurred.
 
Recent Pronouncements
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn times of similar vehicles, as well as independent, market resources. Each reporting period the Company recognizes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Convertible Note Payable-Related Party
 
On July 13, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible note (the “BHLP Note”) with Berrard Holdings, an entity owned and controlled by a current officer and director, Mr. Berrard, pursuant to which the Company was required to repay $191,858 on or before July 13, 2026 plus interest at 6% per annum. The BHLP Note was also convertible into common stock, in whole, at any time before maturity at the option of the holder at the greater of $0.06 per share or 50% of the price per share of the next qualified financing which is defined as $500,000 or greater. Effective August 31, 2016, the principal amount of the BHLP Note was amended to include an additional $5,500 loaned to the Company, on the same terms. On November 28, 2016, the Company completed its qualified financing at $1.50 per share which established the conversion price per share for the BHLP Note of $0.75 per share, resulting in the principal amount of the BHLP Note being convertible into 263,144 shares of Class B Common Stock. As such, November 28, 2016 became the “commitment date” for determining the value of the BHLP Note conversion feature. Because there had been no trading in the Company’s common stock since July 2014, other than the purchase by Berrard Holdings of 99.5% of the outstanding shares in a single transaction, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation to determine the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the BHLP Note, which resulted in a value in excess of the principal amount of the BHLP Note. Thus, the Company recorded a note discount of $197,358 with the corresponding amount as an addition to paid in capital. This note discount was amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the BHLP Note in July 2026 or until it was converted using the effective interest method. On March 31, 2017, the Company issued 275,312 shares of Class B Common Stock upon full conversion of the BHLP Note, having an aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest, of $206,484 and a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In connection with the conversion of the BHLP Note, the remaining debt discount of $196,076 was charged to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related deferred tax liability was credited to additional paid in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note Payable-NextGen
 
On February 8, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of NextGen, the Company issued a subordinated secured promissory note in favor of NextGen in the amount of $1,333,334. Interest accrues and will be paid semi-annually (i) at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and (ii) at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the Maturity Date. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the NextGen Note shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holder. The Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note are secured by substantially all the assets of NextGen Pro, pursuant to an Unconditional Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), by and among NextGen and NextGen Pro, and a related Security Agreement between the parties, each dated as of February 8, 2017. Under the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, NextGen Pro has agreed to guarantee the performance of all the Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note. Interest expense on the NextGen Notes for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $21,370 and $54,849, respectively.
 
Notes Payable-Private Placement
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company completed funding of the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement (as defined below). The investors were issued 1,161,920 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company and promissory notes (the “Private Placement Notes”) in the amount of $667,000, in consideration of cancellation of loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount committed by the purchasers of $1,350,000. Under the terms of the Private Placement Notes, interest shall accrue on the outstanding and unpaid principal amounts until paid in full. The Private Placement Notes mature on March 31, 2020. Interest accrues at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the maturity date. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Private Placement Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. Based on the relative fair values attributed to the Class B Common Stock and promissory notes issued in the 2016 Private Placement, the Company recorded a debt discount on the promissory notes of $667,000 with the corresponding amounts as addition to paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Private Placement Notes in March 2020 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2017 was 26.0%. Interest expense on the Private Placement Notes for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $94,885 and $184,943, respectively, which included debt discount amortization of $41,979 and $81,603, respectively for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.
 
Notes Payable-Senior Secured Promissory Notes
 
On September 5, 2017, the Company executed Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in favor of several investors, including certain executive officers and directors of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (“Principal Amount”), which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $150,000. The proceeds to the Company from the Notes, net of original issuance discount, was $1,500,000. The Notes are secured by an interest in all the Company’s Collateral, as such term is defined in the Notes. The Notes mature on September 5, 2018 and bear interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum through December 31, 2017, and a rate of 10% per annum thereafter. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. The Principal Amount and any unpaid interest accrued thereon may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty upon five days prior written notice to the noteholder. If the Company consummates in one or more transactions financing of any nature resulting in net proceeds available to the Company of $5,000,000 or more, then the noteholders may require the Company to prepay the Notes on thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. The original issue discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Notes in September 2018 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2017 was 10.0%. Interest expense on the Notes for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $15,925 which included $10,274 of original issue discount amortization. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed a public offering and used approximately $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the offering for the repayment of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Notes. For additional information, see Note 15 “Subsequent Events.”

In connection with the 2016 Private Placement, the Company also entered into loan agreements, pursuant to which the purchasers would loan to the Company their pro rata share of up to $1,350,000 in the aggregate upon the request of the Company at any time on or after January 31, 2017 and before November 1, 2020. On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement. For additional information, see Note 7 - “Notes Payable.”
 
On January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, the adoption of the Plan. On June 30, 2017, the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purposes of the Plan are to attract, retain, reward and motivate talented, motivated and loyal employees and other service providers (“Eligible Individuals”) by providing them with an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company and to incentivize them to expend maximum effort for the growth and success of the Company, so as to strengthen the mutuality of the interests between such persons and the stockholders of the Company. The Plan will allow the Company to grant a variety of stock-based and cash-based awards to Eligible Individuals. Twelve percent (12%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time are reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of September 30, 2017, 9,018,541 shares are issued and outstanding, resulting in up to 1,082,225 shares available for issuance under the Plan. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has granted 560,000 RSUs under the Plan to certain officers and employees of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the RSUs was $2,103,500. The RSUs vest over a three-year period as follows: (i) 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and (iii) 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of the grant is amortized over the period from the grant date through the vesting dates. Compensation expense recognized for these grants for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $157,763 and $287,550, respectively. The Company has approximately $1,605,600 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, with an average remaining vesting period of three years.
 
On January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders holding 6,375,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), to change the name of the Company to RumbleOn, Inc. and to create an additional class of common stock of the Company, which was effective on February 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).
 
Immediately before approving the Certificate of Amendment, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Authorized Common Stock”), including 6,400,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Outstanding Common Stock, and together with the Authorized Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Authorized Common Stock as Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), which Class A Common Stock ranks pari passu with all of the rights and privileges of the Common Stock, except that holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, and all other shares of Common Stock, including all shares of Outstanding Common Stock shall be deemed Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), which Class B Common Stock is identical to the Class A Common Stock in all material respects, except that holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.
 
Also on January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders holding 6,375,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock approved the issuance to (i) Marshall Chesrown of 875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Chesrown, and (ii) Steven R. Berrard of 125,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Berrard, effective at the time the Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada.
 
On the Effective Date, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada changing the Company’s name to RumbleOn, Inc. and creating the Class A and Class B Common Stock. Also on the Effective Date, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Messrs. Chesrown and Berrard in exchange for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by them. Also on the Effective Date, the Company amended its bylaws to reflect the name change to RumbleOn, Inc. and to reflect the Company’s primary place of business as Charlotte, North Carolina.
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001, at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,480,000 in the private placement (the “2017 Private Placement”). Officers and directors of the Company acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. In May 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. Proceeds from the 2017 Private Placement were used to complete the launch of the Company’s website, www.rumbleon.com, acquire vehicle inventory, continue development of the Company’s platform, and for working capital purposes.
 
On June 30, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC covering the resale of 8,993,541 shares of Class B Common Stock issued in the NextGen acquisition and the 2017 Private Placement and other shares previously held by our stockholders, including our officers and directors. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on July 7, 2017. In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, our officers and directors and certain stockholders entered into a lock-up agreement restricting, through December 31, 2017, the resale of an aggregate of 6,848,800 shares of our common stock held by them and subject to the Registration Statement.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
 
In projecting the Company’s income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, management has concluded it is not likely to recognize the benefit of its deferred tax asset, net of deferred tax liabilities, and as a result a full valuation allowance will be required. As such, no income tax benefit has been recorded for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.
 
NOTE 12 — LOSS PER SHARE
 
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 did not include 560,000 of restricted stock units to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock as their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no restricted stock units outstanding for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016.

A key component of the Company’s business model is to use dealer partners in the acquisition of motorcycles as well as utilize these dealer partners to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, the Company will earn fees and transaction income, and the dealer partner may earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. In connection with the development of the dealer program, the Company tested various aspects of the program by utilizing a dealership (the “Test Dealer”) to which Mr. Chesrown, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has provided financing in the form of a $400,000 convertible promissory note. The note matures on May 1, 2019, interest is payable monthly at 5% per annum and can be converted into a 25% ownership interest in the Test Dealer at any time. The Test Dealer is expected to be named a Select Dealer by an agreement with the same material terms as the Company’s other Select Dealer agreements. Revenue generated by the Company from the Test Dealer for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $924,069 and $946,824, respectively. Included in accounts receivable at September 30, 2017 is $264,464 owed to the Company by the Test Dealer.
 
In connection with the NextGen acquisition, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Kartik Kakarala, who formerly served as the Chief Executive Officer of NextGen and now serves as a director of the Company. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Kakarala serves as a consultant to the Company. The Consulting Agreement may be cancelled by either party, effective upon delivery of a written notice to the other party. Mr. Kakarala’s compensation pursuant to the Consulting Agreement is $5,000 per month. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid $15,000 and $35,000, respectively under the Consulting Agreement. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For additional information, see Note 3 - “Acquisitions.”
 
In connection with the NextGen acquisition, the Company entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Halcyon Consulting, LLC (“Halcyon”), to provide development and support services to the Company. Mr. Kakarala currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Halcyon. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company will pay Halcyon hourly fees for specific services, set forth in the Services Agreement, and such fees may increase on an annual basis, provided that the rates may not be higher than 110% of the immediately preceding year’s rates. The Company will reimburse Halcyon for any reasonable travel and pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its services to the Company. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 the Company paid $221,400 and $678,766, respectively under the Services Agreement.
 
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had promissory notes of $370,556 and accrued interest of $12,076 due to an entity controlled by a director and to the director of the Company. The promissory notes were issued in connection with the completion of the 2016 Private Placement on March 31, 2017. Interest expense on the promissory notes for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $29,392 and $63,416, respectively, which included debt discount amortization of $23,321 and $45,335, respectively for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. The interest was charged to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in accrued interest under long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
On September 5, 2017, the Company executed Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in favor of several investors, including certain executive officers and directors of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (“Principal Amount”), which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $150,000. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had Notes of $1,214,144 and accrued interest of $4,144 due to certain executive officers and directors of the Company. Interest expense on the Notes due to certain executive officers and directors for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $11,678, which included $7,534 of original issue discount amortization. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed a public offering and used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the offering for the repayment of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Notes. For additional information, see Note 7 - “Notes Payable” and Note 15 “Subsequent Events.”

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On October 23, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,910,000 shares of Class B common stock at a public offering price of $5.50 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $14,500,000 after deducting the underwriting discount and offering fees and expenses payable by the Company (the “Offering”). The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option, which expires on November 19, 2017, to purchase up to an additional 436,500 shares of Class B common stock to cover over-allotments.
 
The Company used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the Offering for the repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes.  The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of additional inventory held for sale, increased spending on marketing and advertising and capital expenditures necessary to grow the business.
 
In connection with the Offering, on October 23, 2017, the Company issued to the representatives of the underwriters warrants to purchase 218,250 shares of Class B common stock, which is equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock sold in the Offering (the “Representatives’ Warrants”). The Representatives’ Warrants are exercisable at a per share price of $6.325, which is equal to 115% of the Offering price per share of the shares sold in the Offering. The Representatives’ Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four-year period commencing one year from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Offering.
 
Also, in connection with the Offering, on October 19, 2017, the Class B Common Stock uplisted from the OTCQB and began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RMBL.”
 
On November 2, 2017, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary RMBL Missouri, LLC (the “Borrower”), entered into a floor plan line of credit (the "Credit Line") with NextGear Capital, Inc. (the “Lender”) in the amount of $2,000,000, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of the Borrower from time to time, pursuant to that certain Demand Promissory Note and Loan and Security Agreement. Any advance under the Credit Line bears interest on a per annum basis from the date of the request of such advance (or date of the financed receivable, as applicable), based upon a 360-day year, and such interest shall be compounded daily until such outstanding advances are paid in full at a rate of interest set forth in schedules published by the Lender. As of November 2, 2017, the effective rate of interest is 6.5%. Advances and interest under the Credit Line are due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 150 days from the date of request for the advance (or the date of purchase in the case of a universal funding agreement), or of the receivable, as applicable. Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Credit Line), Lender may, at its option and without notice to the Borrower, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Lender and its affiliates by the Borrower and its affiliates. The Credit Line is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of the Borrower and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of the Lender and its affiliates.

OVERVIEW
 
We operate a capital light disruptive e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned motorcycle and other power sport and recreation vehicles (“power/recreation vehicles”) in one online location. Our goal is to transform the way motorcycles and other power/recreation vehicles are bought and sold by providing users with the most efficient, timely and transparent transaction experience. Our initial focus is the market for 601cc and larger on-road motorcycles. We will look to extend to additional power/recreation vehicle types and products as the platform matures, including ATVs, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, side-by-sides, boats, and both towable and motor coach RVs.
 
Serving both consumers and dealers, through our online platform, we make cash offers for the purchase of their vehicles and intend to provide them the flexibility to trade, list, or auction their vehicle through our website and mobile applications. In addition, we offer a large inventory of used vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. Our operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with dealer partners. We utilize dealer partners in the acquisition of motorcycles as well as to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, we earn fees and transaction income, and dealer partners will earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs.
 
Our business model is driven by a technology platform we acquired in February 2017, through our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NextGen. The acquired system provides integrated vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive the online marketplace. Over the past 16 years, the developers of the software have designed and built, for large multi-national clients, a number of dealer and, what we believe to be, high quality applications solutions.
 
Our business combines a comprehensive online buying and selling experience with a vertically-integrated supply chain that allows us to buy and sell vehicles to consumers and dealer partners transparently and efficiently at a value-oriented price. Using our website or mobile application, consumers and dealers can complete most phases of a used vehicle transaction. Our online buying and selling experience allows consumers to:
 
● 
Sell us a vehicle. We address the lack of liquidity available in the market for a cash sale of a vehicle by dealers and consumers through our Sell Us Your Vehicle Program. Dealers and consumers can sell us a vehicle independent of a purchase. Using our free online or mobile appraisal tool, consumers and dealers can complete a short appraisal form and receive a haggle-free, guaranteed 3-day firm cash offer for their vehicle within minutes and, if accepted, receive payment in a few days or less. Our cash offer to buy is based on the use of extensive used retail and wholesale vehicle market data. When a consumer accepts our offer, we ship their vehicles to our closest dealer partner where the vehicle is inspected, reconditioned and stored pending sale. We believe buying used vehicles directly from consumers will be the primary driver of our source of supply for sale and a key to our ability to offer competitive pricing to buyers. By being one of the few sources for consumers to receive cash for their vehicle, we have a significant opportunity to buy product at a lower cost since dealer and auction markup is eliminated from these consumer purchases. In addition, we believe our willingness to appraise and purchase a customer’s vehicle, whether or not the customer is buying a vehicle from us, provides a competitive sourcing advantage for vehicles.
 
● 
List a vehicle. The current market for listing motorcycles and other power sport vehicles is inefficient and ineffective in that a majority of the transactions are conducted through peer-to-peer transactions, which do not facilitate making cash offers, accepting trades or providing financing to the buyer. Our listing options and comprehensive transaction support addresses the shortcomings that currently exist in the market for listing a vehicle for sale while allowing dealers and consumers an opportunity to utilize a simple, efficient and effective process. Consumers who do no not accept our cash offer can pay a fee to list their vehicle on RumbleOn.com and other available listing sites. During the listing period, our cash offer is extended, and we manage all sales leads, handle all the documentation necessary to complete a sale and accept a buyer trade and provide a range of third-party finance options and vehicle service contracts to the buyer, if necessary. Upon the sale of a listed vehicle, we earn a fee separate and apart from the listing fee. Dealer partners do not pay a fee to list their vehicles.

● 
Purchase a used vehicle. Our 100% online approach to retail and wholesale distribution addresses the many issues currently facing the retail and wholesale distribution marketplace for power/recreation vehicles, a marketplace we believe is primed for a disruptive change. We believe the issues facing the marketplace include: (i) heavy use of inefficient listing sites, (ii) a highly fragmented dealer network; (iii) a limited selection of used vehicles for sale; (iv) negative consumer perception of the current buying experience; and (v) a massive consumer shift to online retail. We offer dealers and consumers a large selection of vehicles at a value-oriented price that can be purchased in a seamless transaction in minutes. In addition to a transparent buying experience, our no haggle pricing, coupled with an inspected, reconditioned and certified vehicle, backed by a fender-to-fender warranty and a 3-day money back guarantee, addresses consumer dissatisfaction with the current buying processes in the marketplace. As of October 31, 2017, including vehicles of our dealer partners, we have approximately 550 vehicles listed for sale on our website, where consumers can select and purchase a vehicle, including arranging financing, directly from their desktop or mobile device. Selling used vehicles to dealers and consumers is the key driver of our business.
 
● 
Finance a purchase. Customers can pay for their vehicle using cash or we will provide a range of finance options from unrelated third parties such as banks or credit unions. Customers fill out a short online application form, and, if approved, apply the financing to their purchase in our online checkout process.
 
● 
Protect a purchase. Customers have the option to protect their vehicle with unrelated third-party branded EPPs and vehicle appearance protection products as part of our online checkout process. EPPs include extended service plans which are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection, which is intended to cover the unpaid balance on a vehicle loan in the event of a total loss of the vehicle or unrecovered theft. Vehicle appearance protection includes products aimed at maintaining vehicle appearance.
 
To enable a seamless dealer and consumer experience, we are building a vertically-integrated used vehicle supply chain, supported by proprietary software systems and data which include the following attributes:
 
● 
Vehicle sourcing and acquisition. We acquire a significant percentage of our used vehicle inventory directly from consumers and dealers through our Sell Us Your Vehicle Program. We also, to a lesser extent, acquire vehicles from auctions and directly from used vehicle suppliers, including franchise and independent dealers and finance and leasing companies. Using used retail and wholesale vehicle market data obtained from a variety of internal and external sources, we evaluate a significant number of vehicles daily to determine their fit with consumer demand, internal profitability targets and our existing inventory mix. The supply of used vehicles is influenced by a variety of factors, including: the total number of vehicles in operation; the rate of new vehicle sales, which in turn generate used vehicle trade-ins; and the number of used vehicles sold or remarketed through retail channels, wholesale transactions and at auctions. Based on the large number of vehicles remarketed each year, consumer acceptance of our online vehicle appraisal process, our experience and success in acquiring vehicles from auctions and other sources and the large size of the United States market relative to our needs, we believe that sources of used vehicles will continue to be sufficient to meet our current and future needs.

Inspection, reconditioning and logistics. After acquiring a vehicle, we transport it to one of our dealer partners who is paid to perform an inspection and to recondition the vehicle to meet “RumbleOn Certified” standards. High quality photographs are then taken, the vehicle is listed for sale on Rumbleon.com and the dealer partner stores the vehicle pending delivery to the buyer. This process is supported by a custom used vehicle inventory management system, which tracks vehicles through each stage of the inspection, reconditioning and logistic process. The ability to leverage and provide a high margin source of incremental revenue to the existing network of dealer partners in return for providing inspection, reconditioning, logistics and distribution support reduces our need for any significant investment in retail or reconditioning facilities.
 
Our Strategy
 
Our strategy is to provide a complete online, direct, pre-owned motorcycle and power/recreation vehicle marketplace solution for both consumers and dealers, while providing dealers access to additional software solutions and services allowing them to earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales leads, and fees earned from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. The recognition of the need for our solutions is the result of our management team gaining a clear understanding of the key drivers of complete supply chain solutions necessary to create a different and disruptive way to both acquire and distribute cars and trucks online from their deep experience in the automotive sector with disruptive businesses such as: AutoNation, Auto America, and Vroom. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to disrupt the pre-owned marketplace in recreational vehicles as it suffers from many of the same negative consumer sentiments and dealer practices that existed in the automotive sector prior to the advent of and the significant influx of new entrants with improved business models. In addition, the power/recreation vehicle segment lacks the significant competition that exists in the automotive sector due to its fragmented dealer network, relative size and the niche nature of its products. Management believes consumers prefer to purchase and sell through a well-designed online/mobile solution, with a broad selection of vehicles at highly competitive prices. We believe that our applications will provide appraisal, cash-offer, vehicle listing, financing options, and logistics/delivery solutions designed to provide an exceptional consumer experience. We intend to replicate and improve upon the positive attributes of the various “sell us your car” and other related programs that have proven successful in automotive retail for entities such as AutoNation, CarMax, Carvana, Vroom and others.

Our dealer strategy is focused on creating a synergistic relationship wherein dealers will have the ability to leverage the RumbleOn marketplace and dealer services offerings to drive increased revenue through the purchase or sale of vehicles via the online platform and the ability to earn fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. Dealer partners will have the ability to show the complete RumbleOn vehicle inventory on their website and will have access to preferred pricing on the acquisition of vehicles. Management believes that partners utilizing the platform will significantly enhance their existing online retail strategies. We have agreed to add dealers to our network and are in discussions with other dealers regarding joining the network. We believe that our operations, designed to be both capital and infrastructure light, will leverage the dealer network to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution, thus minimizing the number of warehouse locations, reconditioning centers and logistics facilities we operate. We plan to primarily operate a centralized headquarter, call center, and limited number of strategically located warehouses as needed.
 
Our initial focus on pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles provides a targeted, identifiable segment to establish the functionality of the platform and the RumbleOn brand. Harley-Davidson is a highly regarded and dominant brand (representing approximately 50% market share of new 601cc+ on-road motorcycles according to both Harley-Davidson public filings and the Motorcycle Industry Council) in the motorcycle market, with a base of over three million pre-owned motorcycles registered for use in the United States. According to Harley-Davidson, as disclosed in their 2017 investor meeting presentation, and management estimates, each year approximately 400,000 pre-owned Harley-Davidsons are sold, with Harley-Davidson dealers selling approximately 125,000 units, 250,000 units sold in private consumer and independent dealer transactions, and 25,000 sold via other means. Further, as Harley-Davidson discussed in its 2017 investor meeting presentation, their objective is to build two million new Harley-Davidson riders in the United States in the next 10 years, principally, we believe, via brand marketing and product development, estimated at $70 million in 2016, dealer hosted experiences and the Harley-Davidson Riding Academy. We believe such efforts will benefit us as, per Harley-Davidson’s 2017 investor meeting presentation, there are 2.4 million owners of non-Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and 15.0 million people who don’t currently own a motorcycle, who have an interest in Harley-Davidson and are planning to purchase a motorcycle within three years. Further, Harley-Davidson’s estimates that there are 7.8. million motorcycle license holders who do not currently own a motorcycle and that the sale of used Harley-Davidson motorcycles to young adults (ages 18-34) was three times the sale of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles to the same age group. These statistics support our contention that there is expected to be a growing market for used Harley-Davison transactions and a more informed buyer.
 
We believe that we may potentially enjoy a halo effect from Harley-Davidson’s advertising as not all young new buyers will purchase new motorcycles. Our extension into the “metric” brands (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc.) essentially doubles the available market and is a natural extension as these vehicles are often sold or traded for Harley-Davidson vehicles. The metric market and dealer profile closely mirror that of the Harley-Davidson market although it is more highly fragmented. In addition, many of the metric dealers also retail ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and personal watercraft providing the next organic product extension leveraging existing dealer relationships.
 
Our Growth Strategy
 
We intend to transform the way recreational vehicles are bought and sold and thereby significantly grow our business and gain market share by targeting the large number of private consumer peer to peer transactions driven by listing only sites such as Craigslist. Management estimates the market for annual used motorcycle sales today at approximately 800,000 units sold, or approximately $7.5 billion of sales. Management believes approximately 50% or more of these transactions are completed on a peer to peer basis. We believe these transactions are highly inefficient and consumers view the process as cumbersome. Our online consumer direct sourcing strategy, wherein we make a cash offer to a consumer or dealer utilizing our website or mobile application allows us to deliver value pricing on our vehicles for sale. We believe our large-scale inventory of vehicles for sale, coupled with our online platform, transparent selling process, certified and reconditioned vehicles and ability to offer financing and ancillary products provides a unique customer experience as compared to current alternatives when purchasing a vehicle. We believe we can aggressively drive RumbleOn brand recognition and awareness at a relatively low expense by utilizing digital, social media and guerrilla marketing techniques, as there are few national competitors and consumers are very brand focused and loyal. For example, approximately 15 key motorcycle events, such as Daytona Bike Week and the Sturgis Bike Rally attract millions of attendees annually, many of whom are both motorcycle enthusiasts and Harley-Davidson consumers. We intend to have a significant presence at these events, with onsite advertising and sales facilities to build brand awareness. In addition, we anticipate engaging with or sponsoring motorcycle groups, providing us a targeted audience to which to market RumbleOn and showcase the ease with which they can buy, sell, or trade motorcycles. Once motorcycle enthusiasts have sampled our website, we believe the unique experience will be compelling and drive organic growth. Over time, management believes we will build a proprietary database of customers and their interests, which will facilitate customer retention and cross sell activities.

Our Market
 
We operate in a market with significant scale and breadth of products. The Motorcycle Industry Council estimates that in 2014, 9.2 million people owned 10.1 million motorcycles in the United States. 87% of these were on-highway models, our initial targeted segment. According to the Powersports Business 2016 Market Data Book, or the 2016 Market Datebookused motorcycle registrations were 1.1 million units in 2015 with new unit sales of approximately 573,000 or approximately $7 billion in new vehicle sales. The owner demographic is favorable to the market outlook as millennials and baby boomers are maturing into the median ranges. The owner group is characterized by brand loyal riding enthusiasts. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, in 2014 the median owner age was 47 years with a median income of $62,200 which is approximately 10% above the United States’ average. The dealer market is fragmented with an estimated 4,600 retail outlets authorized to sell new motorcycles, scooter, and all-terrain vehicles.
 
The ATV, UTV/side-by-side, snowmobile and personal watercraft vehicle, or PWC, markets, are a logical next extension for our platform, as there is significant overlap in the motorcycle dealer base with dealers of these products. According to data from Power Product Marketing and the 2016 Market Data Book, there were approximately 630,000 sales of ATV/UTV/Side-by-sides in 2015. There are approximately 1.2 million snowmobiles registered in the United States (another 600,000 in Canada) and in 2016, approximately 95,000 snowmobiles were sold in the United States and Canada. Lastly, according the National Marine Manufacturers Association and the Personal Watercraft Industry Association, in 2015 there were more than 54,000 new PWCs sold in the United States and there are currently approximately 1.2 million PWCs registered in the United States.
 
As we look to further extend the platform, the two largest adjacent segments are represented by the recreational boating and recreational vehicle (motor vehicle or trailer equipped with living space and amenities found in a home) industries. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, there were approximately 15.7 million recreational boats in the United States in 2014, and there were approximately 940,000 sales of pre-owned boats in 2014. Correspondingly, the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association estimates that currently more than 8.9 million households own an RV and in 2017 there will be over 470,000 shipments of RVs from manufacturers to dealers.
 
Competition
 
We face competition in all our business segments. The United States used recreational vehicle marketplace is highly fragmented, and we face competition from franchised dealers, who sell both new and used vehicles; independent dealers; online and mobile sales platforms; and private parties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry are delivering an outstanding consumer experience, competitive sourcing of vehicles, breadth and depth of product selection, and value pricing. Our competitors vary in size and breadth of their product offerings. We believe that our principal competitive advantages in used vehicle retailing will include our ability to provide a high degree of customer satisfaction with the buying experience by virtue of our low, no-haggle prices and our online platform including our website and mobile application and our ability to make a cash offer to purchase a vehicle or offer listing alternatives coupled with our customer-friendly sales process and our breadth of selection of the most popular makes and models available on our website. In addition, we believe our willingness to appraise and purchase a customer’s vehicle, whether or not the customer is buying a vehicle from us, provides a competitive sourcing advantage for retail vehicles allowing us to offer value-oriented pricing.  We believe the principal competitive factors for our ancillary products and services include an ability to offer a full suite of products at competitive prices delivered in an efficient manner to the customer. We will compete with a variety of entities in offering these products including banks, finance companies, insurance and warranty providers and extended vehicle service contract providers. We believe our competitive strengths in this category will include our ability to deliver products in an efficient manner to customers utilizing our technology and our ability to partner with key participants in each category to offer a full suite of products at competitive prices. Lastly, additional competitors may enter the businesses in which we will operate.
 
Seasonality
 
Historically, the industry has been seasonal with traffic and sales strongest in the spring and summer quarters which tracks closely with the timing of regional riding seasons.  Sales and traffic are typically slowest in the fall quarter but increase in February and March, coinciding with tax refund season.
 
Key Operation Metrics
 
As our business expands we will regularly review a number of metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress, and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics reflect what we believe will be the key drivers of our growth, including increasing brand awareness, maximizing the opportunity to source the purchase of low cost used vehicles from consumers and dealers while enhancing the selection of vehicles we make available to our customers. Our key operating metrics also demonstrate our ability to translate these drivers into sales and to monetize these retail sales through a variety of product offerings.

Units Sold
 
We define units sold as the number of used vehicles sold to consumers, dealers and at auctions in each period, net of returns under our three-day return policy. We view units sold as a key measure of our growth for several reasons. First, units sold is the primary driver of our revenue and, indirectly, gross profit, since unit sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including financing, vehicle service contracts and trade-ins. Second, growth in units sold increases the base of available customers for referrals and repeat sales. Third, growth in units sold is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our logistics, fulfillment, and customer service operations.
 
Number of Dealers
 
Our operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with dealer partners who we refer to as either Select or Appraisal Dealers. We utilize these dealer partners in the acquisition of motorcycles as well as to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, we earn fees and transaction income, and dealer partners will earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. We choose Select or Appraisal Dealers based on their geographic location and abilities as a dealer. As Select and Appraisal Dealers are added throughout the U.S. the cost and time associated with distribution programs will be significantly reduced as the pickup and delivery of motorcycles will become more localized thus lower shipping costs and reduce the average days to sale for vehicles.
 
Average Monthly Unique Users
 
We define a monthly unique user as an individual who has visited our website within a calendar month, based on data provided by Google Analytics. We calculate average monthly unique users as the sum of monthly unique users in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period. We view average monthly unique users as a key indicator of the strength of our brand, the effectiveness of our advertising and merchandising campaigns and consumer awareness.
 
Inventory Units Available on Website
 
We define inventory units available on Website as the number of vehicles listed for sale on our website on the last day of a given reporting period. Until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level, we view inventory units available as a key measure of our growth. Growth in inventory units available increases the selection of vehicles available to consumers and dealers on a nationwide basis, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of vehicles we sell
 
Average Days to Sale
 
We define average days to sale as the average number of days between vehicle acquisition by us and delivery to a customer for all used units sold in a period. However, this metric does not include any used units that remain unsold at period end. We view average days to sale as a useful metric due to its impact on used vehicle average selling price. We anticipate that that average days to sale will increase in future periods until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level and fully scale our acquisition and sales channel processes.
 
Total Average Gross Margin per Unit
 
We define total average gross margin per unit as the aggregate gross margin in a given period divided by units sold in that period. Total gross margin per unit is driven by sales of used vehicles which, in many cases generates finance and vehicle service contracts revenue. We believe gross margin per unit is a key measure of our growth and long-term profitability.

COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Revenue
 
Revenue is derived from two primary sources: (1) our online marketplace, which is our largest source of revenue and includes: (i) the sale of used vehicles through consumer, dealers and auction sales channels; (ii) online listing and sales fees; (iii) retail merchandise sales; (iv) vehicle financing; and (v) vehicle service contracts; and (2) subscription and other fees.
 
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the Company’s payment is probable.
 
See Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” for a further description of the Company’s revenue recognition.
 
Used Vehicle Sales
 
We sell used vehicles through consumer, dealers and auction sales channels. These multiple sales channels provide us the opportunity to maximize profitability through increased sales volume and lower average days to sale by selling to the channel where the opportunity based on customer demand, market conditions or inventory availability is the greatest at any given time. The number of used units sold to any given channel may vary from period to period based on customer demand, market conditions and available inventory.
 
Used vehicle sales represent the aggregate sales of used vehicles to consumers and dealers through our website and sales at auctions. We generate gross profit on used vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. We expect used vehicle sales to increase as we begin to utilize a combination of brand building as well as direct response channels to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets while expanding our suite of product offerings to consumers who may wish to trade-in or to sell us their vehicle independent of a retail sale. Factors affecting used vehicle sales include the number of retail units sold and the average selling price of these vehicles. At this stage of our development, changes in both retail units sold and in average selling price will drive changes in revenue.
 
The number of used vehicles we sell depends on our volume of website traffic, our inventory selection, the effectiveness of our branding and marketing efforts, the quality of our customer sales experience, our volume of referrals and repeat customers, the competitiveness of our pricing, competition and general economic conditions. On a quarterly basis, the number of used vehicles we sell is also affected by seasonality, with demand for used vehicles reaching the high point in the first half of each year, commensurate with the timing of tax refunds, and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of used vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter.
 
Our average retail selling price depends on the mix of vehicles we acquire and hold in inventory, retail market prices in our markets, our average days to sale, and our pricing strategy. We may opportunistically choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost vehicles, or to opportunistically raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances, which could temporarily lead to average selling prices increasing or decreasing.
 
The number of vehicles sold at auctions are determined based on a number of factors including: (i) filling auction sales channel market demand opportunities to maximize sales and gross margin; (ii) a need to balance the Company’s overall inventory mix and quantity levels against days to sales targets; and (iii) a need to liquidate those units that do not meet the Company’s quality standards to list or be sold through Rumbleon.com.
 
Other Sales and Revenue
 
We generate other sales and revenue primarily through: (i) online listing and sales fees; (ii) retail merchandise sales; (iii) vehicle financing; and (iv) vehicle service contracts.
 
● 
Online Listing and Sales Fees. We charge a non-refundable fee for sellers to list their vehicle on the RumbleOn website. During the listing period, we manage all sales leads, handles all the documentation necessary to complete a sale, accepts a buyer’s trade and provides financing through third-party providers to the potential buyer, if necessary. Upon a successful sale, the seller pays a fee based on the difference between the actual retail sales price of the vehicle sold and the net proceeds agreed to be paid by RumbleOn to the seller when the listing agreement was signed.
 
● 
Retail Merchandise Sales. We sell branded and other merchandise and accessories.
 
 
 
24
 
 
 
● 
Vehicle Financing. Customers can pay for their vehicle using cash or we offer a range of finance options through unrelated third-parties such as banks or credit unions. These third-party providers generally pay us a fee either in a flat amount or in an amount equal to the difference between the interest rates charged to customers over the predetermined interest rates set by the financial institution. We may be charged back for commissions in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated.
 
● 
Vehicle Service Contracts. At the time of vehicle sale, we provide customers, on behalf of unrelated third parties who are the primary obligors, a range of other related products and services, including extended protection plan (“EPP”) products and vehicle appearance protection. EPP products include extended service plans (“ESPs”), which are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”), which is intended to cover the unpaid balance on a vehicle loan in the event of a total loss of the vehicle or unrecovered theft. Vehicle appearance protection includes products aimed at maintaining vehicle appearance. We receive commissions from the sale of these product and service contracts and have no contractual liability to customers for claims under these products.  The EPPs and vehicle appearance protection currently offered to consumers provides coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. At that time commission revenue will be recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations will be estimated based upon historical industry experience and recent trends and will be reflected as a reduction of other sales revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive. 
 
Subscription and other fees
 
We generate subscription fees from dealer partners under a license arrangement that provides access to our software solution and ongoing support. Select or Appraisal Dealers pay a monthly subscription fee for access to and ongoing support for portions of the RumbleOn software solution, which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; and (iv) equity mining. Dealers may also be charged an initial software installation and training fee. Dealers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software and may cancel the license for these products and services by providing a 30-day notice. Installation and training do not have value to the user without the license and ongoing support and maintenance.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue is comprised of: (i) cost of vehicle sales and (ii) costs of subscription and other fees.
 
Cost of vehicle sales to consumers, dealers and auctions, includes the cost to acquire vehicles and the reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing the vehicles for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles we acquire, the source of those vehicles, and supply and demand dynamics in the vehicle market. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and include parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to specific vehicles. Transportation costs consisted of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition or delivery. Cost of vehicle sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Cost of subscription fee revenue includes the (i) various data feeds from third parties; (ii) hosting of the customer-facing website; (iii) commissions for new sales; and (iv) implementation and training of new and existing dealers.
 
Vehicle Gross Margin
 
Gross margin is generated on used vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. The aggregate dollar gross margins achieved from the consumer, dealer and auction sales channels are different. Units sold to consumers through our website generally have the highest dollar gross margin since the unit is sold directly to the consumer. Vehicles sold to dealers are sold at a price below the retail price offered to consumers, thus the dealer and RumbleOn are sharing the gross margin. The dollar gross margin on units sold at auction are usually the lowest due to auction fees. Factors affecting gross margin from period to period include the mix of vehicles we acquire and hold in inventory, retail market prices, our average days to sale, and our pricing strategy. We may opportunistically choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost vehicles, or to opportunistically raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances in our sales channels, which could temporarily lead to average selling prices and gross margins increasing or decreasing in any given channel.
 
 
 
25
 
 
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include costs and expenses for compensation and benefits, advertising to consumers and dealers, development and operating our product procurement and distribution system, managing our logistics system, establishing our dealer partner arrangements, and other corporate overhead expenses, including expenses associated with technology development, legal, accounting, finance, and business development. Selling, general and administrative expenses will increase substantially as we continue to execute and aggressively expand our business through increased marketing spending and the addition of management and support personnel to ensure we adequately develop and maintain operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. SG&A expenses exclude the costs of inspecting, reconditioning and transportation of vehicles, which are included in cost of sales.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization is comprised of the: (i) amortization of capitalized and acquired technology development; (ii) amortization of identifiable intangible assets; and (iii) depreciation of vehicle, furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization will continue to increase as continued investments are made in connection with the expansion and growth of the business.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense includes interest incurred on notes payable and other long-term debt, which was used to fund, startup costs and expenses, technology development, inventory, our transportation fleet, property and equipment and the acquisition of NexGen.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016
 
Revenue
 
Online Marketplace
 
Total revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $3,706,142 and $3,861,553, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of used vehicles sold to consumers, dealers and at auctions. The increase in unit sales was driven by the launch of the RumbleOn website, expanded inventory selection, enhanced social media, aggressive event marketing efforts, increased brand awareness and customer referrals. We anticipate that unit sales will continue to grow as we expand our units of available inventory, while continuing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets of consumers and dealers through brand building and direct response marketing.
 
Sales of used vehicles to consumers, dealers and auctions for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $3,544,372 and $3,626,312, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2016. This increase was driven by the sale of 313 and 323 used units to consumers, dealers and at auctions during the three and nine-month period ending September 30, 2017, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $2,289,337 and $4,632,081, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase is a result of the significant expansion of our businesses associated with the launch of our website and mobile application which resulted in: (i) an increase in expenses associated with advertising and marketing; (ii) increase headcount associated with the development and operating our product procurement and distribution system, managing our logistics system; (iii) continued investment in technology development; and (iv) other corporate overhead costs and expenses, including legal, accounting, finance, and business development.

The increase was driven by the growth in headcount and related compensation and benefits at our Dallas operations center, and included new hires in our marketing, product and inventory management, accounting, finance, information technology, and administration departments. As our business continues to grow these expenses will increase as we add headcount in all areas of the business.
 
Advertising and marketing for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $752,017 and $1,060,195 as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase consists of cost associated with the launch of our website and mobile application, aggressive event marketing and further development of a multi-channel approach to consumers and dealers.

Our paid advertising efforts include advertisements through search engine marketing, inventory site listing, retargeting, organic referral, display, direct mail and branded pay-per-click channels. We believe our strong consumer and dealer focus ensures loyalty which will drive both high participation in the buy and selling process while increasing referrals. In addition to our paid channels, we intend to attract new customers through increased media spending and public relations efforts and further investing in our proprietary technology.
 
Professional fees consist primarily of legal and accounting fees and costs associated with: (i) financing activities; (ii) general corporate matters; (iii) the NextGen acquisition; (iv) the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements; and (v) the filing of regulatory reports required of the Company for public reporting purposes. Professional fees for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $157,997 and $675,469, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2016.

Technology development costs consist principally of (i) development activities including payroll and related expenses billed by a third-party contractor involved in application, content, production, maintenance, operation, and platform development for new and existing products and services, (ii) technology infrastructure expenses, and (iii) costs of Company employees devoted to the development and maintenance of software products. Technology development expenses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $91,967 and $278,668, respectively as compared to the same period in 2016. Total technology costs and expenses incurred for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 were $236,400 and $713,766 of which $144,433 and $435,097, respectively were capitalized.  For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, a third-party contractor billed $221,400 and $678,766 respectively, of the total technology development costs. The amortization of capitalized technology development costs for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $89,429 and $219,374, respectively. There were no technology development costs incurred and no amortization of capitalized development costs for the same periods in 2016. Technology development costs are accounted for pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Technology development costs include internally developed software and website applications that are used by the Company for its own internal use and to provide services to its customers, which include consumers, dealer partners and ancillary service providers. Under the terms of these customer arrangements the Company retains the revenue generating technology and hosts the applications on its servers and mobile applications. The customer does not have a contractual right to take possession of the software during the term of the arrangement and is not permitted to run the software itself or contract with another party unrelated to the entity to host the software. Technology development costs consist principally of (i) development activities including payroll and related expenses billed by a third-party contractor involved in application, content, production, maintenance, operation, and platform development for new and existing products and services, (ii) technology infrastructure expenses, and (iii) costs of Company employees devoted to the development and maintenance of software products. Technology and content costs for design, maintenance and post-implementation stages of internal-use software and general website development are expensed as incurred. For costs incurred to develop new website functionality as well as new software products and significant upgrades to existing internally used platforms or modules, capitalization begins during the application development stage and ends when the software is available for general use. Capitalized technology development is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 7 years. The Company will perform periodic assessment of the useful lives assigned to capitalized software applications. Additionally, the Company from time-to-time may abandon additional development activities relating to specific software projects or applications and charge accumulated costs to technology development expense in the period such determination is made. We expect our technology development expenses to increase as we continue to upgrade and enhance our technology infrastructure, invest in our products, expand the functionality of our platform and provide new product offerings. We also expect technology development expenses to continue to be affected by variations in the amount of capitalized internally developed technology.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $258,537 and $665,838 as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase is a result of the cost and expenses associated with the continued progress made in the development of our business, the establishment of our Dallas operations center and meeting the requirements of being a public company.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense consists of interest on the: (i) BHLP Note; (ii) NextGen Note; (iii) Private Placement Notes; and (iv) Senior Secured Promissory Notes. Interest expense for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 increased by $87,323 and $366,377, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase resulted from: (i) interest on a higher level of debt outstanding; (ii) the conversion of the BHLP Note; (iii) the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature on the Private Placement Notes; and (iv) the amortization of the original issue discount on the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. The conversion of the BHLP Note resulted in a $196,076 charge to interest expense for the remaining balance of the beneficial conversion feature, net of deferred taxes and is included in interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

This increase is primarily a result of the: (i) 2017 Private Placement of $2,630,000 in Class B Common Stock at a price of $4.00 per share; (ii) second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement of $683,040 in Class B Common Stock and $667,000 in promissory notes; and (iii) Senior Secured Promissory Notes proceeds of $1,500,000.

On July 13, 2016, the Company entered into the BHLP Note with Berrard Holdings, an entity owned and controlled by a current officer and director, Mr. Berrard, pursuant to which the Company was required to repay $191,858 on or before July 13, 2026 plus interest at 6% per annum. The BHLP Note was also convertible into common stock, in whole, at any time before maturity at the option of the holder at the greater of $0.06 per share or 50% of the price per share of the next qualified financing which is defined as $500,000 or greater. Effective August 31, 2016, the principal amount of the BHLP Note was amended to include an additional $5,000 loaned to the Company, on the same terms. On November 28, 2016, the Company completed its qualified financing at $1.50 per share which established the conversion price per share for the BHLP Note of $0.75 per share, resulting in the principal amount of the BHLP Note being convertible into 263,144 shares of Class B Common Stock. As such, November 28, 2016 became the “commitment date” for determining the value of the BHLP Note conversion feature. Because there had been one trade in January 2016 in the Company’s common stock since July 2014, other than the purchase by Berrard Holdings of 99.5% of the outstanding shares in a single transaction, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation to determine the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the BHLP Note, which resulted in a value in excess of the principal amount of the BHLP Note Thus, the Company recorded a note discount of $197,358 with the corresponding amount as an addition to paid in capital. This note discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the BHLP Note in July 2026 or until it is converted using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at March 31, 2017 was 7.4%. Interest expense on the BHLP Note for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 was $2,920 and the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature was $3,558. On March 31, 2017, the Company issued 275,312 shares of Class B Common Stock upon full conversion of the BHLP Note, having an aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest, of $206,484 and a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In connection with the conversion of the BHLP Note, the remaining debt discount of $196,076 was charged to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related deferred tax liability was credited to additional paid in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 7 - “Notes Payable” in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
On September 5, 2017 the Company executed Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in favor of several investors, including certain executive officers and directors of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (“Principal Amount”), which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $150,000. The proceeds to the Company from the Notes, net of original issuance discount, was $1,500,000. The Notes are secured by an interest in all the Company’s Collateral, as such term is defined in the Notes. The Notes mature on September 15, 2018 and bear interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum through December 31, 2017, and a rate of 10% per annum thereafter. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. The Principal Amount and any unpaid interest accrued thereon may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the Maturity Date without premium or penalty upon five days prior written notice to the Noteholder. If the Company consummates in one or more transactions financing of any nature resulting in net proceeds available to the Company of $5,000,000 or more, then the Noteholders may require the Company to prepay the Notes on thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. The original issue discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Notes in September 2018 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2017 was 10.0%. Interest expense on the Notes for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $15,925 which included $10,274 of original issue discount amortization. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed a public offering and used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the Offering for the repayment of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Notes. For additional information, see Note 8 - “Stockholders Equity” and Note 15 – “Subsequent Events” in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment in Growth
 
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a total of $656,220 in available cash. Our cash requirements for the next twelve months are significant as we have begun to aggressively invest in the growth of our business and we expect this investment to continue. We plan to invest heavily in inventory, marketing, technology and infrastructure to support the growth of the business. These investments are expected to increase our negative cash flow from operations and operating losses at least in the near term, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to realize the return on our investments. Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through debt and equity financing and on October 23, 2017, the Company completed a public offering of 2,910,000 shares of Class B common stock at a public offering price of $5.50 per share (the "Offering") and received approximately $14,500,000 in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the Offering for the repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 plus accrued interest and intend to use the remaining net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of additional inventory held for sale, increased spending on marketing and advertising and capital expenditures necessary to grow the business. Also, on November 2, 2017, we entered into a floor plan line of credit through our subsidiary, RMBL Missouri, LLC, in the amount of $2,000,000. For additional information on the Offering and floor plan line of credit, see Note 15 – “Subsequent Events” in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, our limited operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include an evolving business model, advancement of technology and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, continue our development of relevant applications, stay abreast of changes in the marketplace, as well as implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We routinely evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we did not experience any significant changes in estimates or judgments inherent in the preparation of our financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1 to our financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Emerging Growth Company
 
We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing not to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
 
Item 3. 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
 
This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
 
Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Since the acquisition of NextGen, the Company is evaluating its internal control over financial reporting; however, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
