Note 1 — The Company

 

Tapinator, Inc. (“ Tapinator” or “ the Company”) develops and publishes category leading apps for mobile platforms, with a significant emphasis on social-casino games. Tapinator’s library includes over 300 titles that, collectively, have achieved over 470 million mobile downloads, including notable properties such as Video Poker Classic, Crypto Trillionaire and Solitaire Dash. Tapinator generates revenues through the sale of branded advertisements and via consumer transactions, including in-app purchases and subscriptions. Founded in 2013, Tapinator is headquartered in New York, with product development and marketing teams located in North America, Europe and Asia.

 

The Company was originally incorporated on December 9, 2013 in the state of Delaware. On December 12, 2013, the Company merged with Tapinator, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. The Company was the surviving corporation from this merger. On June 16, 2014, the Company executed a securities exchange agreement with the members of Tapinator LLC, a New York limited liability company, whereby the Company issued shares of its common stock to the members of Tapinator LLC in exchange for 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Tapinator LLC. The transaction resulted in a business combination and a change of control within its business purpose. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, Tapinator LLC was considered the acquirer and the transaction was treated as a reverse merger.

 

The Company currently develops and publishes two types of mobile applications. Tapinator’s Category Leading Apps are unique products, primarily within the social-casino genre, with high production values and significant revenue potential, developed and published selectively based on both original and licensed IP. These titles require significant development investment and have, in the opinion of our management, the potential to become evergreen mobile franchises which can become market leaders within their respective categories. These apps are monetized primarily through consumer app store transactions and, to a lesser extent, through brand advertising. These apps are published primarily under the Tapinator brand.

 

Tapinator’s Rapid-Launch Games are legacy titles that were developed and published in significant quantity beginning in 2013. These are titles that were built economically and rapidly based on a series of internally developed game engines. These engines were developed within the following game genres: parking, driving, stunts, animal sims, career sims, shooters and fighting. These games are monetized primarily through the sale of branded advertisements and paid downloads. Since our formation, we have compiled a significant library of over 300 such games and, while the Company is not currently developing new Rapid-Launch Games, we believe our existing portfolio will continue to produce a long-tail of revenues over the next several years. However, revenues from our Rapid-Launch Games have been declining over the past two years and we expect them to continue to decline during this revenue tail period. Tapinator’s Rapid-Launch Games are published primarily under the Company’s Tap2Play brand.

  

 

Note 2 —Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tapinator, LLC, Tap2Play, LLC, and Revolution Blockchain, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  

These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the June 30, 2019, condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the recognition of revenue, realization of platform and advertising fees and related costs of revenue, long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and the fair value of other equity and debt instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue primarily from the three mobile platforms (iOS, Google Play and Amazon) on which it currently markets its mobile games and applications in the form of app store transactions and from various advertising networks in the form of branded advertising placements within its mobile applications.

 

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606. A five-step analysis must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.  Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.  The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

TAPINATOR, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), the Company evaluates its agreements with the mobile platforms and advertising networks to determine whether it is acting as the principal or as an agent when selling its games or when selling premium in-game content or advertisements within its games, which it considers in determining if revenue should be reported gross or net. Key indicators that the Company evaluates to reach this determination include:

  

 

the terms and conditions of the Company’s contracts with the mobile platforms and ad networks;

 

the party responsible for determining the type, category and quantity of the methods to generate game revenue;

 

whether the Company is paid a fixed percentage of the arrangement’s consideration or a fixed fee for each game, transaction, or advertisement;

 

the party which sets the pricing with the end-user, and has the credit and inventory risk; and

 

the party responsible for the fulfillment of the game or serving of advertisements and that determines the specifications of the game or advertisement.

 

Based on the evaluation of the above indicators, the Company has determined that it is generally acting as a principal and is the primary obligor to end-users for its games distributed on the mobile platforms and for advertisements served by the advertising networks and has the contractual right to determine the price to be paid by the player. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue related to these arrangements on a gross basis, when the necessary information about the gross amounts or platform fees charged, before any adjustments, are made available by the mobile platforms and advertising networks. The Company records the related platform fees and advertising network revenue share as expenses in the period incurred.

 

Display Advertising and Offers:

 

We have contractual relationships with advertising networks for display advertisements and offers served within our games. For these arrangements, we are the principal and our performance obligation is to provide the inventory for advertisements and offers to be displayed within our games. The Company has determined the advertising buyer to be its customer and displaying the advertisements within the mobile games is identified as the single performance obligation. Revenue from advertisements and offers are recognized at the point-in-time the advertisements are displayed in the game or the offer has been completed by the user as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided from these services.

 

The pricing and terms for all our advertising arrangements are governed by either a master contract or insertion order and generally stipulate payment terms as a specific number of days subsequent to the end of the month, generally ranging from 30 to 60 days. The transaction price in advertising arrangements is generally the product of the number of advertising units delivered (e.g., impressions, offers completed, videos viewed, etc.) and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit. The number of advertising units delivered is determined at the end of each month, which resolves any uncertainty in the transaction price during the reporting period.

 

Paid Downloadable Games:

 

Some of our legacy Rapid-Launch Games are offered as paid downloadable games on certain mobile platforms. For an individual sale of a game with both online and offline functionality, we would typically have three distinct performance obligations; (1) the software license; (2) a right to receive future updates; and (3) online hosting. The software license performance obligation represents the game that is delivered digitally at the time of sale and typically provides access to offline core game content. The future update rights performance obligation would include updates on a when-and-if-available basis such as software patches or updates, and/or additional free content to be delivered in the future. The online hosting performance obligation consists of providing the customer with a hosted connection for online playability. For these legacy Rapid-Launch Games, since we do not provide software updates or additional content, and since we do not host any online content for these games as they are not playable online, the only performance obligation that we recognize is the software license. The sales price allocated to the software license performance obligation is recognized at a point in time upon delivery (which is usually at or near the same time as the booking of the transaction).

 

Virtual Goods:

 

Our games allow for players to purchase or otherwise earn in-game currency or other premium in-game content in the form of virtual goods. For purposes of determining when the service has been provided as it relates to virtual goods, we have determined that an implied obligation exists to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased or otherwise earned virtual good over its estimated life or until it is consumed. Accordingly, we categorize our virtual goods as either consumable or durable virtual goods.

 

Consumable Virtual Goods:

 

Consumable virtual goods are items such as one-time game boosts consumed at a predetermined time or otherwise have limitations on repeated use. For the sale of consumable virtual goods, we recognize revenue, and the associated costs, as the goods are consumed. Our revenues from consumable virtual goods have been insignificant since the Company’s formation.

  

Durable Virtual Goods:

 

Durable virtual goods are items including virtual currency and premium in-game content such as power-ups, skins and equipment that remain in the game for as long as the player continues to play. If we do not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from consumable virtual goods for a specific game, we recognize revenue and the associated costs on the sale of durable and consumable virtual goods for that game ratably over the estimated average period that paying players typically play that game. We recognize revenue, and the associated costs, from the sale of durable virtual goods ratably over the estimated average playing period of paying players for the applicable game, which represents our best estimate of the average life of durable virtual goods.

 

We have partnered with third party advertising networks to provide rewarded video advertising to players of our games. A rewarded video advertisement enables users to acquire virtual currency, a durable virtual good, in exchange for watching a short video instead of paying cash. For rewarded video advertisements, similar to purchased durable virtual goods, revenue is initially recorded to deferred revenue and then recognized ratably over the estimated average playing period of paying players for the applicable game, which represents our best estimate of the average life of durable virtual goods,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On a periodic basis, we determine the estimated average playing period for paying players by game or genre, via a representative proxy game from within that specific game. To make this estimate, we examine player data beginning at the time of a player’s first purchase within that game and ending on a date when that paying player is no longer playing the game. To determine when paying players are no longer playing a given game, we measure the populations of paying players (the “daily cohort”) from the date of their first installation of the game and track each daily cohort to understand the number of players from each daily cohort who played the game after their initial purchase. For titles where we have at least 90 days of paying players’ historical usage data on a daily cohort size of at least 100 paying players (“Tracked Titles”), we compute an expected average playing period for paying users using this dataset and applying a curve-fitting model.

 

For new titles where we do not have requisite paying player data (“Untracked Titles”), and such title is in a genre that is substantially different from one of our existing game genres for which we have Tracked Title estimates, we examine actual retention data for all players from these games for the period between game installation and up to 90 days thereafter, this data is then inputted into a curve-fitting model to estimate an average playing period for these titles. These calculated curves and their associated one-year average playing periods are mapped against the corresponding curves and associated average one-year playing periods for our most similar Tracked Titles. Based on this mapping, the average playing period of paying users for the Tracked Titles is then indexed up or down accordingly, and then applied against the Untracked Titles within the sample.

 

As of the second quarter of 2019 (our most recent determination date), the estimated weighted average life of our durable virtual goods was 4 months for our Casino & Card games, 2 months for our Role Playing & Arcade games and 2 months for our Rapid-Launch Games. Prior to the change, the weighted average life of the Casino & Card games was 16 months.

 

While we believe our estimates to be reasonable based on available game player information and based on the disclosed methodologies of larger publicly reporting mobile game companies, we may revise such estimates in the future based on changes in the operational lives of our games, and based on changes in our ability to make such estimates. Any future adjustments arising from changes in the estimates of the lives of these virtual goods would be applied to the then current quarter, and prospectively on the basis that such changes are caused by new information indicating a change in game player behavior patterns compared to historical titles. Any changes in our estimates of useful lives of these virtual goods may result in revenues and associated costs being recognized on a basis different from prior periods’ and may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, as a result of a change in our estimates regarding the average useful lives of certain of our durable virtual goods, we recognized approximately $521,000 of previously deferred mobile game revenue and corresponding platform fee expense of $156,000 resulting in a net increase in income from operations of approximately $365,000 for the periods. This change in estimates impacted our earnings per share by $0.01 and $0.00 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no change in estimates regarding the average useful lives of durable virtual goods that required adjusting the recognition period of deferred revenue and associated costs in prior periods.

 

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations: 

 

For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation, which is based on the standalone selling price. The standalone selling price represents the observable price which we would sell the advertising placement separately in a similar circumstance, to a similar customer.  

 

On August 7, 2018, we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which we granted Licensee the exclusive, worldwide right to localize, publish, distribute and operate one of the Company’s mobile games. The License Agreement represents an Arrangement with Multiple Performance Obligations.

 

As consideration for the grant of rights to Licensee under the License Agreement, Licensee agreed to make upfront payments to the Company (the “Minimum Guarantee”). The Minimum Guarantee impacts our revenue recognition as it relates to the distinction between functional intellectual property and symbolic intellectual property for licensing arrangements. We are required to make such distinction based on the nature of the license and recognize revenue at a point in time for functional intellectual property and over time for symbolic intellectual property (such as trademarks, brands and character images). The License Agreement also requires that the Company provide specific goods and services in the form of regular software updates.

 

We have determined the License Agreement includes multiple performance obligations related to functional intellectual property, symbolic intellectual property and software-related services (updates). For these three components, revenue associated with individual performance obligations is recorded separately as they are each distinct obligations. The standalone selling price for each component is determined by using an expected cost plus margin approach. The amounts assigned to each product or services is recognized when the product is delivered and/or when the services are performed. The obligation associated with functional intellectual property is deemed satisfied when we have transferred the software license to Licensee and the Licensee has deployed the intellectual property into the market. The symbolic intellectual property obligations are deemed to be performed over an extended period, whereby revenue is generally recognized over time on a ratable basis over the initial term of the License Agreement. The software-related services obligations (updates) are also deemed to be performed over an extended period, whereby revenue is generally recognized over time, on a ratable basis over the initial term of the License Agreement.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, based upon the review of the outstanding accounts receivable, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not required.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the Company’s financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. As of June 30, 2019, the total amount exceeding such limit was $259,905.

 

The Company derives revenue from mobile app platforms, advertising networks and licensing which individually may contribute 10% or more of the Company’s revenues in any given year. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue derived from two mobile app platforms comprised 56% of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, revenue derived from two mobile app platforms comprised 50% of such period’s total revenue.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the receivable balance from two mobile app platforms comprised 73% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2018, the receivable balance from two mobile app platforms comprised 66% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance and the receivable balance from one advertising network comprised 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference, less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 985-20, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," the Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of new software products or the enhancement of existing software products for use in our product offerings. These costs are capitalized from the point in time that technological feasibility has been established, as evidenced by a working model or detailed working program design to the point in time that the product is available for general release to customers. Software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis typically over three years, the estimated economic lives of the products, beginning when the product is placed into service.

 

The Company periodically evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining useful lives of its capitalized software development costs should be revised or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. Software costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to Research and Development expense as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company regularly reviews property, equipment, software development costs and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Based upon management’s assessment, there was no impairment of the Company’s property and equipment at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Management has deemed that certain software development costs were impaired at June 30, 2018 and such impairments are more fully described in Note 9.

 

In general, investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of an entity’s equity interest or does not hold significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company periodically assesses its cost method investments for impairment. If determination that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the Company will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of our investments totaled $5,000.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts, and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

Cost of Revenue (excluding amortization of software development costs)

 

Cost of revenue includes primarily platform and advertising network fees, licensing costs and hosting fees. The Company, along with all mobile application publishers, is required to pay platform fees to Apple, Google and Amazon equal to approximately 30% of gross revenue. The Company is also required to pay a revenue share of approximately 30% to advertising networks and similar service providers.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the fair value of stock-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions), or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which are considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the periods; however, potential common shares are excluded for periods in which the Company incurs losses, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) per share amounted to 49,875,006 and 61,283,335, respectively, consisting of Restricted Stock Units, Common Stock Options and Common Stock Warrants.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of issuance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. While we are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU, we do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. An additional update was issued by FASB in January 2018 to ASC Topic 842. We adopted the standard using the optional transition method by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at January 1, 2019 and not revising prior period presented amounts. The processes that are in final refinement related to our full implementation of the standard include: i) finalizing our estimates related to the applicable incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019 and ii) process enhancements for refining our financial reporting procedures to develop the additional required qualitative and quantitative disclosures required beginning in 2019. We have elected the following practical expedients: i) we have not reassessed whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, ii) we have not reassessed lease classification for any expired or existing leases, iii) we have not reassessed initial direct costs for any existing leases, and iv) it has not separated lease and non-lease components.

  

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are reported using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date of identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented in the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments.

Note 8 — Right-to-use assets and lease liability

    

In August, 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement, whereby the Company agreed to extend the lease for office space in New York, NY, commencing September 1, 2016 and expiring on December 31, 2021 at an initial rate of $4,625 per month with escalating payments.

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. In determining the length of the lease term to its long term lease, the Company determined not to consider an embedded 3 year option primarily due to i) the renewal rate is at future market rate to be determined and ii) Company does not have significant leasehold improvements that would restrict its ability to consider relocation. At lease commencement date, the Company estimated the lease liability and the right of use assets at present value using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate of 7% and determined the initial present value, at inception, of $165,096. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-to-use assets of $165,096, lease liability of $165,096 and eliminated deferred rent of $3,377.

Note 12 — Senior Secured Convertible Debenture

 

On June 19, 2015, the Company and Hillair Capital Investment L.P. (“Hillair”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 19, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued to Hillair the following (i) $2,240,000 8% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Original Debenture”) which was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $.205, (ii) Series A Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,926,829 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $.30 and (iii) Series B Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,926,829 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $.30 (collectively, the terms of which are referred to herein as the “Original Financing”).

 

In July 28, 2016, the Company and Hillair entered into an Exchange Agreement (“2016 Exchange Agreement”) to amend and refinance the terms of the $2.24 million 8% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture originally issued in June, 2015. Immediately prior to the 2016 Exchange Agreement, the Company owed cash payments to Hillair of $560,000 on October 1, 2016 and $1,120,000 on January 1, 2017 under the Original Debenture.  Pursuant to the 2016 Exchange Agreement, the following material terms of the Original Financing were amended, altered and/or ratified: (i) the Original Debenture was exchanged in its entirety for the issuance of a new 8% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture with an original principal amount of $2,394,000 and an increased conversion price of $0.25 (the “2016 Debenture”), (ii) the issuance of 420 shares of a new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as further described by the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which may be exercised for up to 1,680,000 shares of Company’s common stock, (iii) the extension of the maturity date of the Series A Warrant from June 22, 2020 until July 28, 2021, (iv) the cancellation of the Series B Warrants in their entirety, (v) the ratification of the Security Agreement executed by the Company with respect to all of its assets (as required by the initial Purchase Agreement and Original Debenture) as continued collateral for the New Debenture as well as the ratification of the Subsidiary Guarantee and Pledge and Security Agreement as such agreements are referenced in the Purchase Agreement and Exchange Agreement, and (vi) the creation of a new right for the Holder, subject to the written consent of the Company, for a $2,100,000 cash investment in the Company with identical terms to the new financing.

 

In June 2017, the Company and Hillair entered into an amendment agreement (the “2017 Amended Agreement”) to amend and refinance the terms of the 2016 Debenture. Pursuant to the 2017 Amended Agreement, the Company prepaid to Hillair a portion of the outstanding principal on the 2016 Debenture in the amount of $234,000 and all of the accrued interest on the 2016 Debenture through June 30, 2017 in the amount of $191,520. Following such payments, the remaining principal amount of the Holder’s amended 2016 Debenture was $2,160,000 (the “Amended 2016 Debenture”). In addition, the Company and Hillair agreed to reduce the conversion price of the 2016 Debenture from $0.25 to $0.20. The Amended 2016 Debenture was due on July 31, 2018, and the Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this debenture at the rate of 8% per annum, payable on each December 31, March 31, July 31, and October 31, thereafter, beginning on December 31, 2017. In June 2017, the Company and Holder also entered into an exchange agreement (the “2017 Exchange Agreement”) to exchange the existing 10,926,829 shares of Series A Common Stock purchase warrants for 1,500 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

On September 7, 2017, Hillair assigned all of its rights under and relating to the Senior Debenture to HSPL Holdings, LLC (“HSPL”), including the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

On January 22, 2018, HSPL elected to convert all of the 1,500 shares of Series A-1 Stock into 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 6,000,000 shares of common stock converted under the Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued without restrictive legend pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act.

On February 23, 2018, the Company entered into a Series B Exchange Agreement (the “Series B Exchange Agreement”) with HSPL to amend the terms of the 2017 Amended Agreement. On February 23, 2018, the Company paid to HSPL $1,200,000 in cash for a net reduction of the principal amount of the Amended 2016 Debenture of $1,142,857 after giving effect to a 5% prepayment penalty which resulted in a remaining principal balance of $1,017,143 plus all accrued but unpaid interest under the 2016 Debenture (the “Remaining 2016 Debenture Balance”). Pursuant to the Series B Exchange Agreement, the Remaining 2016 Debenture Balance and the Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged in their entirety (and thus cancelled) for issuance of 1,854 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) as further described by the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which may be initially exercised for up to 15,450,000 shares of Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the Series B Exchange Agreement, the Company eliminated all of its outstanding debt. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.12 and a stated value of $1,000. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the Company issues shares of its common stock at a price below $0.082, the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock will be reduced to the price of such issuance. HSPL and any subsequent holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are prohibited from converting the Series B Preferred Stock into more than 9.99% of the Company’s then outstanding number of shares of common stock after giving effect to such conversion.  The shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock are subject to being issued without restrictive legend pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, subject to various conditions and limitations.

 

On May 2, 2018, HSPL elected to convert 500 shares of its 1,854 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into 4,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 4,166,667 shares of common stock converted under the Series B Preferred Stock were issued without restrictive legend pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act.

 

On September 7, 2018, the Company repurchased 1,354 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock from HSPL for a per share purchase price of $270.83, or an aggregate purchase price of $366,707. The repurchased shares represented all of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and, following the transaction, the Company has no Preferred Stock outstanding in any class. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, the repurchased shares were convertible into 11,283,333 shares of the Company’s common stock.   The repurchase purchase price represents a per share common stock purchase price of $0.0325, if conversion had occurred.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, amortization of the debt discount related to the Senior Secured Convertible Debentures was $187,876 and amortization of the original issue discount related to the Senior Secured Convertible Debentures was $51,230.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Stock, the Repurchased Shares were convertible into 11,283,333 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Repurchase Amount represents a per share purchase price of the Conversion Shares, if conversion had occurred, equal to $0.0325. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Repurchase Agreement, the Repurchased Shares were canceled in full and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, there are no shares of Series B Stock outstanding and, following the transaction, the Company has no Preferred Stock outstanding in any class.

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Games Revenue Share and Stock Repurchase Agreement with a related party whereby the Company repurchased 7,646,446 shares of the Company’s common stock, for a per share purchase price of $0.02, or an aggregate purchase price of $144,639 from the Stockholder (See Note 11).

 

Options

 

In December 2015, the Company approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards and other stock-based awards (collectively, “Stock Awards”). The initial Plan provided the Company the ability to grant Stock Awards to its employees, directors and consultants of up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

On January 23, 2018 via written consent of a majority of its stockholders, the Company increased the number of shares of common stock underlying its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan from 6,000,000 to 18,000,000.

Common stock warrants

 

In February 2017, in connection with a stock purchase agreement, the Company issued to the investor two warrants to purchase up to an additional 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share and $0.36 per share. Each of the warrants has a term of three years. In January 2018, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the 1,000,000 warrants to $0.12 per share. These warrants were subsequently exercised in January 2018 totaling $120,000.

 

On February 15, 2018 and in connection with the three closings and pursuant to the terms of the Offering described above, the Company issued to the placement agent Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.15. The Placement Agent Warrants have a five-year term and have cashless exercise provisions at all times.

 

In connection with the three closings of the Offering described above, the Company issued Warrants to the Investors to purchase up to 25,000,002 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.144.

Tapinator develops and publishes category leading apps for mobile platforms, with a significant emphasis on social-casino games. Tapinator’s library includes over 300 titles that, collectively, have achieved over 470 million mobile downloads, including notable properties such as Video Poker Classic, Crypto Trillionaire and Solitaire Dash. Tapinator generates revenues through the sale of branded advertisements and via consumer transactions, including in-app purchases and subscriptions. Founded in 2013, Tapinator is headquartered in New York, with product development and marketing teams located in North America, Europe and Asia. Consumers can find high-quality mobile applications from Tapinator wherever they see the “T” character logo. 

 

The Company currently publishes two types of mobile apps and games:

 

Category Leading Apps

 

Tapinator’s Category Leading Apps are unique products, primarily with the social-casino genre, with high production values and significant revenue potential, developed and published selectively based on both original and licensed IP. These titles require significant development investment and have, in the opinion of our management, the potential to become evergreen mobile franchises which can become market leaders within their respective categories. These apps are monetized primarily through consumer app store transactions and, to a lesser extent, through brand advertising. These apps are published primarily under the Tapinator brand.

 

We have an excellent track record of successfully getting our Category Leading Apps featured at launch by the major app stores, including within Apple’s “New Games We Love” category. Beyond initial product launch, we acquire customers for these products via paid acquisition channels for those applications in which we achieve player lifetime values (“LTV”) that, on average, exceed the cost per player install (“CPI”).

 

Rapid-Launch Games

 

Tapinator’s Rapid-Launch Games are legacy titles that were developed and published in significant quantity beginning in 2013. These are titles that were built economically and rapidly based on a series of internally developed game engines. These engines were developed within the following game genres: parking, driving, stunts, animal sims, career sims, shooters and fighting. These games are monetized primarily through the sale of branded advertisements and via paid downloads. Since our formation, we have compiled a significant library of over 300 such games and, while the Company is not currently developing new Rapid-Launch Games, we believe our existing portfolio will continue to produce a long-tail of revenues over the next several years. However, revenues from our Rapid-Launch Games have been declining over the past two years and we expect them to continue to decline during this revenue tail period. Tapinator’s Rapid-Launch Games are published primarily under the Company’s Tap2Play brand.

 

Strategy

 

In early 2017, we began a major strategic shift to focus more of our investment and management resources into our Category Leading Apps business and more specifically into the social-casino genre. We believe the potential size, quality and sustainability of revenues and earnings from this business is significantly greater than that of our legacy Rapid-Launch Games business. We completed this shift during the fourth quarter of 2018 and we are now focused on developing and operating these Category Leading Apps, primarily within the social-casino genre. In 2018, the revenue for the social casino market reached $5.2 billion, according to Eilers & Krejcik. The social casino market grew 10.9% year-on-year in the final quarter of 2018 according to the same report. The larger competitors in this market include SciPlay (Nasdaq: SCPL), Zynga (Nasdaq: ZNGA), Playtika (acquired by Giant Interactive for $4.4 billion in 2016) and Murka Entertainment (acquired by the Blackstone Group in 2019). These companies have achieved success by (1) focusing on the most well established social casino game types (e.g., slots, bingo and multiplayer poker) and (2) focusing on improving production values, running live ops, and adding content to their games rather than gameplay innovation. We believe this creates market opportunity for several winning strategies. First, with games such as Video Poker Classic, we have focused on niche casino game types that are not dominated by large competitors yet, nonetheless, have significant player followings. We believe similar niche opportunities continue to exist. Second, with the upcoming launch of Castle Builder, our new slots title, we believe that applying gameplay innovation to slots, an area that otherwise offers sparse differentiation between games, can result in a highly sustainable and successful product. Based on the previous success of indie developer Moon Active’s Coin Master, which, according to Think Gaming, has achieved $75 million in annual revenue, we are confident that the slots area is ripe for gameplay innovation.

 

21

 

 

Our goal for our Category Leading Apps business is to develop a small number of core franchise titles, primarily within the social-casino genre, that can achieve lifespans of at least five to ten years, and where we can grow these titles into sustainable market leaders within their respective product categories. In order to accomplish this, we are working to achieve customer LTVs that exceeds customer acquisition cost, at scale. To date, the Company has been able to achieve this, at certain customer volumes, for three products: Video Poker Classic, Crypto Trillionaire and Solitaire Dash. We seek to build a valuable portfolio of these core franchise titles which can represent repeatable, stackable and long term revenue streams for Tapinator.

 

Current Outlook 

 

Our conviction regarding our social-casino focused, Category Leading Apps business has strengthened during 2019. We delivered year-over-year bookings growth in excess of 100% within this business during the first two quarters of this year. Based on the strength of this performance, we are now targeting company-wide bookings growth for 2019 in the range of 8%-12%, and Category Leading Apps bookings growth in excess of 50%. This growth is expected to be derived from our seasoned franchises such as Video Poker Classic and Solitaire Dash, combined with recently launched titles such as Crypto Trillionaire and My Horoscope, and from Castle Builder, our new social-casino title that we plan to launch globally during the fourth quarter of 2019. Castle Builder features a slot mechanic, with innovative metagame systems that have proven their success in the world of real money gaming. The title is made possible through Tapinator’s recent licensing deal with a major European real-money slots developer. The real-money version of the product is currently a top performing slot game across over 200 online casinos in a number of European countries. Looking forward to later this year and into 2020, we are actively seeking to add to our growing portfolio of social-casino titles through both organic product development and via selective publishing or acquisition opportunities.

 

Key Metrics 

 

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating and financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.

 

Key Operating Metrics

 

We manage our business by tracking various non-financial operating metrics that give us insight into user behavior in our games. The two metrics that we use most frequently are Daily Active Users (“DAUs”) and Average Bookings Per User (“ABPU”).

 

Daily Active Users – DAUs. We define DAUs as the number of individuals who played a particular smartphone game on a particular day.  An individual who plays two different games on the same day is counted as two active users for that day when we aggregate DAU across games.  In addition, an individual who plays the same game on two different devices during the same day (e.g., an iPhone and an iPad) is also counted as two active users for each such day when we average or aggregate DAU over time.  Average DAU for a particular period is the average of the DAUs for each day during that period.  We use DAU as a measure of player engagement with the titles that our players have downloaded.

 

Average Bookings Per User – ABPUs. We define ABPU as our total bookings in a given period, divided by the number of days in that period, divided by, the average DAUs during the period. We believe that ABPU provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We use ABPU as a measure of overall monetization across all of our players through the sale of virtual goods and advertising.

 

Key Financial Metrics

 

Bookings. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to revenue recognized during the period plus or minus the change in deferred revenue during the period and amounts billed, but uncollected, pursuant to contractual license agreements. We record the sale of virtual goods as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue over the estimated average life of the purchased virtual goods or as the virtual goods are consumed. Bookings is a fundamental top-line metric we use to manage our business, as we believe it is a useful indicator of the sales activity in a given period. Over the long term, the factors impacting our bookings and revenue are the same. However, in the short term, there are factors that may cause revenue to exceed or be less than bookings in any period.

 

We use bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performance of our company. While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate bookings differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The decrease in average DAU for the three and six months ended June, 2019 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily related to the continued decline in new player installs of our Rapid-Launch Games that began in Q4 2016 and that has continued through Q2 2019.

  

The ABPU increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 because a larger percentage of our overall player base was derived from our better monetizing Category Leading Apps and the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire in Q1 2019.

We expect further comparative decreases in DAU in 2019 as our Rapid-Launch Games continue to decline and the Company continues to focus its efforts on its better monetizing, but lower volume Category Leading Apps.

The average DAU within our Category Leading Apps remained unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three ended June 30, 2018. This resulted from the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire in Q1 2019 and audience gains in Video Poker Classic, both of which were offset by declines in Fusion Heroes and Dice Mage 2, games that the Company has not promoted since 2018.

 

The average DAU within our Category Leading Apps increased for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. This resulted from the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire in Q1 2019 and audience gains in Video Poker Classic, both of which were partially offset by declines in Fusion Heroes and Dice Mage 2, games that the Company has not promoted since 2018.

 

The increase in our Category Leading Apps’ ABPU for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily related to the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire in Q1 2019 and monetization improvements in Video Poker Classic in 2019.

The decrease in average DAU within our Rapid-Launch Games for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily related to the continued weakening in new player installs stemming from our suspension of new Rapid-Launch Game development at the end of 2018. 

 

The increase in average ABPU within our Rapid-Launch Games for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was driven by increases in advertising prices (“CPM’s” or “Cost Per Thousand Impressions”) and player engagement (specifically impressions per DAU) during the relative periods.

Our revenue increased $612 thousand, or 83%, to $1,346 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $734 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenue was attributable primarily to an increase in consumer app store transactions from within our Category Leading Apps and due to the shortening of our statistical estimates for the average user life of paying players within our casino and card games, pursuant to our revenue recognition policy. This change in estimates resulted in a one-time reduction in deferred revenue and a corresponding increase in revenue during the period in the amount of $521 thousand. Our revenue increases were partially offset by a decrease in advertising related bookings stemming from the continued decrease in DAUs across our Rapid-Launch Games portfolio.

Our Category Leading Apps revenue increased $831 thousand, or 282%, to $1,126 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $295 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase in our Category Leading Apps revenue was attributable primarily to an increase in both consumer app store transactions and advertising related bookings resulting from strong user growth and monetization improvements in Video Poker Classic during the most recent period, the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire during Q1 2019, and due to the shortening of our statistical estimates for the average user life of paying players within our casino and card games, pursuant to our revenue recognition policy. This change in estimates resulted in a one-time reduction in deferred revenue and a corresponding increase in revenue during the period.

 

Our Rapid-Launch Games’ revenue decreased $219 thousand, or 50%, to $220 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $439 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in revenue was attributable to a decrease in both consumer app store transactions and advertising related bookings resulting from the continued decrease in DAUs and new player downloads across our Rapid-Launch Games portfolio.

Our cost of revenue increased $179 thousand, or 72%, to $429 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $250 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our gross margin increased to 68% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 66% during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in platform fees corresponding to our higher Q2 Revenue and due to the shortening of our statistical estimates for the average user life of paying players within our casino and card games, pursuant to our revenue recognition policy. This change in estimates resulted in a one-time reduction in deferred platform fees and a corresponding increase in our cost of revenue during the period.

This change in estimates resulted in a one-time reduction in deferred revenue and a corresponding increase in revenue during the period in the amount of $521 thousand.

This change in estimates resulted in a one-time reduction in deferred platform fees and a corresponding increase in our cost of revenue during the period.

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $86 thousand, which was primarily due to a $93 thousand decrease in prepaid expenses, $38 thousand increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and adjustments for non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense of $809 thousand, amortization of software development costs of $341 thousand, and depreciation and amortization of other assets of $3 thousand. These amounts were offset by a $925 thousand net loss, an increase of $104 thousand of accounts receivable, a $2 thousand change in lease liability, net, to a $206 thousand decrease in deferred revenue, and a $134 thousand decrease in due to related parties.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $141 thousand, which was primarily due to a $1,473 thousand net loss, $25 thousand decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $22 thousand decrease in deferred revenue, and a $42 thousand decrease in due to related parties. These amounts were offset by a $100 thousand decrease in accounts receivable, $16 thousand decrease in prepaid expenses, and adjustments for non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense of $1,040 thousand, amortization of software development costs of $271 thousand, amortization of original issue discount of $51 thousand, depreciation and amortization of other assets of $6 thousand and amortization of debt discount of $188 thousand.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $275 thousand, which was due to capitalized software development costs related to the development of our mobile apps and games.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $449 thousand, which was due to capitalized software development costs related to the development of our mobile games.

 

Financing Activities

 

There were no financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,402 thousand, which was primarily due to $2,582 thousand in net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and $120 thousand proceeds from exercised warrants, which were offset by a $1,143 thousand principal repayment of our Senior Secured Convertible Debenture, $57 thousand of early payment penalty fee related to the repayment of our Senior Secured Convertible Debenture and $100 thousand in cash used to buy back the non-controlling interest in our Revolution Blockchain subsidiary.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we did not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements,” as defined in relevant Securities and Exchange Commission regulations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Trends in Key Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

 

We have provided in this report the non-GAAP financial measures of Bookings and adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses Bookings and adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The presentation of Bookings and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to Bookings and adjusted EBITDA in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe Bookings and adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics we use in making operating decisions and because our investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of our business. We have provided reconciliations between our historical Bookings and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below.

 

Bookings Results

 

Bookings increased $68 thousand, or 9%, to $785 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $717 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Bookings increased $153 thousand, or 10%, to $1,753 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $1,600 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The increase in bookings in both comparative periods was attributable primarily to the continued strengthening of our Category Leading Apps, resulting from strong user growth and monetization improvements in Video Poker Classic and the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire during Q1 2019, which was partially offset by the continued weakening of our Rapid-Launch Games, driven primarily by DAU declines from within our Rapid-Launch Game portfolio.

The increase in our Category Leading Apps bookings in both comparative periods was due to an increase in both consumer app store transactions and advertising related bookings resulting primarily from strong user growth and monetization improvements in Video Poker Classic, combined with the successful launch of Crypto Trillionaire during Q1 2019.

 

Our Rapid-Launch Games’ bookings decreased $217 thousand, or 50%, to $219 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $436 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The decrease in these bookings in both comparative periods was attributable primarily to a decrease in both consumer app store transactions and advertising related bookings resulting from the continued decrease in DAUs and new player downloads across our Rapid-Launch Games portfolio.

Adjusted EBITDA Results

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA increased $282 thousand to $292 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $10 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is due to decreases in net loss, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of other assets, and stock-based compensation expense, and increases in interest income and amortization of capitalized software development during the comparative periods.

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA increased $56 thousand to $226 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $170 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is due to decreases in net loss, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of other assets, amortization of debt discount and stock-based compensation expense and an increase in amortization of capitalized software development during the comparative periods.

Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of stock-based compensation expense, impairment of intangible assets previously acquired, acquisition-related transaction expenses, contingent consideration fair value adjustments and restructuring expense;

 

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense;

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include other income or expense, which includes interest income or expense;

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and impairment of capitalized software. Although depreciation and amortization and impairment of capitalized software are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized or impaired may have to be replaced in the future; and

 

 

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which will reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including revenue, net income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, cash flow from operations, GAAP operating expense, GAAP operating margin and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
