Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Organization

 

Cutaia Media Group, LLC ("CMG") was a limited liability company formed on December 12, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  On May 19, 2014, bBooth, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.  On May 19, 2014, CMG was merged into bBooth, Inc. pursuant to a Plan of Merger unanimously approved by the members of CMG.  On October 17, 2014, bBooth, Inc. changed the name of its operating company to bBooth (USA), Inc. ("bBooth").  The operations of CMG and bBooth are collectively referred to as the "Company".

On October 16, 2014, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement with Global System Designs, Inc. ("GSD").  In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, all of GSD's prior management resigned and were replaced by management nominated by the Company, and shareholders of the Company were issued shares of GSD common stock that constituted approximately 83% of GSD's issued and outstanding shares at the closing date. As a result, the Share Exchange Agreement has been treated as a reverse merger transaction, with the Company as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements for periods ended prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement are those of bBooth.

In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, GSD changed its name to bBooth, Inc.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and operation of Internet connected, broadcast-quality portable recording studios, branded and marketed as "bBooth," which are integrated into a social media, messaging, gaming, music streaming and video sharing app. The bBooth portable television studios are in the process of being deployed to shopping malls and other high-traffic venues in the United States.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements as of that date, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of the Company as of June 30, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the interim period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of bBooth, Inc. and Songstagram, Inc. ("Songstagram"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. It also has an accumulated deficit of $12,627,806 (unaudited) as of June 30, 2015.  As a result, the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until it can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations. Management intends to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue its operations. Management also intends to look at mergers with, or acquisitions of, other related entities to grow its business and customer base. 

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow.

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

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, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include the value of share based payments. Amounts could materially change in the future.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.  

Deposit for Booth Equipment

 

Deposit for booth equipment represents amounts paid as a down payment on a purchase order for ten booths during 2014. Booth equipment costs are recorded at historical cost and represent costs to acquire the Company's bBooth portable recording studios, which will be used by the Company for revenue producing activities. Once the bBooth studios are completed and placed in service, the Company will depreciate the amounts over the estimated useful lives of the equipment.

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of assets identified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 "Income Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. 

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

 

Share Based Payment

 

The Company issues stock options, common stock, and equity interests as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

 

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation." Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.

The Company values stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no options issued during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2015 are as follows:

 

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist of expenditures for the research and development of new products and technology. These costs are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for the Company's bBooth recording studios and integrated app.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential common shares were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a total of 6,200,000 options and 648,000 warrants outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.  There were no options or warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments include cash and notes payable. The principal balance of the notes payable approximates fair value because the current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Depreciation expense amounted to $9,339 (unaudited) and $1,447 (unaudited) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Depreciation expense amounted to $17,006 (unaudited) and $4,325 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

On May 26, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured demand promissory note with a third party lender in the principal amount of $100,000.  The note bears interest at a rate of 20% per annum.  The principal and accrued interest are due in full on September 30, 2015.

On December 11, 2014, Songstagram, Inc. ("Songstagram") and Rocky Wright ("Wright") issued secured promissory notes (collectively, the "Promissory Notes") in connection with advances that the Company made to Songstagram and Wright. The advances were made by the Company in connection with ongoing negotiations for a possible acquisition of Songstagram or its assets by the Company. Pursuant to the Promissory Notes, Songstagram promised to pay the Company the principal sum of $475,000, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum, and Wright promised to pay the Company the principal sum of $386,435, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum. All unpaid principal, which totaled an aggregate of $861,435, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Promissory Notes, were to be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Company's demand for payment; or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an event of default, the Company declared such amounts due and payable or such amounts were made automatically due and payable under the terms of the Promissory Notes. During any period in which an event of default had occurred and was continuing, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, were to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 13% per annum. The full amounts due under the Promissory Notes were secured by all of Songstagram's assets and all of Wright's assets related to Songstagram, as applicable, in accordance with security agreements dated December 11, 2014, as described below.

 

In connection with the Promissory Notes, the Company entered into security agreements (collectively, the "Security Agreements") with each of Songstagram and Wright dated December 11, 2014.  Pursuant to the Security Agreements, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, agreed to, among other things; (i) pay all secured obligations when due; (ii)  upon or following the occurrence of an event of default, pay all of the Company's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the Company in the perfection, preservation, realization, enforcement and exercise of the Company's rights, powers and remedies under the Security Agreements; and (iii) execute and deliver such documents as the Company deems necessary to create, perfect and continue the security interests.

Effective January 20, 2015, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Songstagram and Wright, pursuant to which the Company acquired from Wright all assets and intellectual property that Wright owned related to, or used in connection with: (i) the business of Songstagram, (ii) the assets owned and/or used by Songstagram, (iii) the Songstagram software application, (iv) the business and assets of Qubeey Inc. ("Qubeey"), and (v) all software applications of Qubeey, in consideration of the forgiveness of all principal and interest owing by Mr. Wright to the Company under the promissory note issued by Wright to the Company on December 11, 2014.  In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company also paid an additional $43,900 to Wright in January 2015.

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the Company's prior demand for the repayment of all monies outstanding under the Promissory Note issued by Songstagram to the Company on December 11, 2014, as Songstagram was unable to repay such monies, Songstagram consented to the enforcement of the security granted under the Security Agreement with Songstagram by way of a strict foreclosure.  In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and as further provided for in a surrender of collateral, consent to strict foreclosure and release agreement dated January 20, 2015 (the "Surrender of Collateral, Consent to Strict Foreclosure and Release Agreement") between the Company and Songstagram, Songstagram agreed to turn over all collateral pledged under the Security Agreement and consented to the Company retaining such collateral in satisfaction of the indebtedness due under the Promissory Note issued by Songstagram to the Company.

 

Effective March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Jeff Franklin, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 500,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Franklin in full settlement and release of a claim he had on certain assets the Company acquired from Songstagram.  The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Franklin were valued at $250,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram.

 

Effective March 5, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Art Malone Jr., pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 320,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Malone in full settlement and release of a claim he had on certain assets the Company acquired from Songstagram.  The shares of common stock issuable to Mr. Malone were valued at $160,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram.  The 320,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Malone on April 29, 2015. 

As a result, the total consideration paid by the Company for the acquisition of Songstagram amounted to $1,315,335.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using the income approach.

Forward‑looking statements in this quarterly report include express or implied statements concerning our future revenues, expenditures, capital and funding requirements; the adequacy of our current cash and working capital to fund present and planned operations and financing needs; our proposed expansion of, and demand for, product offerings; the growth of our business and operations through acquisitions or otherwise; and future economic and other conditions both generally and in our specific geographic and product markets.  These statements are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward‑looking statements due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, those set forth below in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this quarterly report, which you should carefully read.  Given those risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, you should not place undue reliance on these forward‑looking statements.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The following discussion should be read together with the information contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 – Financial Statements, in this Form 10‑Q.

Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 27, 2012.

On October 16, 2014, we completed the acquisition of bBooth (USA), Inc., a private Nevada corporation ("bBooth USA"), pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement dated August 11, 2014, as amended, among our company, bBooth USA and the shareholders of bBooth USA (the "Exchange Agreement").

bBooth USA was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name "Cutaia Media Group, LLC" on December 12, 2012.  On May 19, 2014, Cutaia Media Group, LLC effected a merger under the laws of the State of Nevada with its affiliate, bBooth, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with bBooth, Inc. as the surviving corporation, in order to convert from a limited liability company into a corporation. On October 17, 2014, we changed the name of the private Nevada corporation to "bBooth (USA), Inc.".

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and operation of Internet connected, broadcast-quality portable recording studios, branded and marketed as "bBooth," which are integrated into a social media, messaging, gaming, music streaming and video sharing app. The bBooth portable television studios are in the process of being deployed to shopping malls and other high-traffic venues in the United States.

Our business has evolved from one based primarily on our bBooth kiosks, to an integrated platform comprised of the bBooth kiosks and a mobile app we have branded "kord".  We are promoting our kord mobile app combined with our bBooth kiosks as a new platform for content creation and distribution, artist promotion, fan engagement and talent discovery.

Revenues

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for our booths and our mobile app.  Research and development expenses were minimal for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  The expense has decreased as the majority of the technological development and design of our booths was incurred during 2013.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $598,107 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is due primarily to amortization expense of $109,611 relating to our acquisition of the assets of Songstagram Inc. ("Songstagram") in January 2015 and share based compensation expense of $188,545.  We did not have any of these expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Our general and administrative expenses also increased during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 2014 due to increases in consulting expenses, rent expense for display of our bBooth units, and salary related expenses.  These expenses were not significant during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as our operations had not significantly started.

Interest expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $39,605.  This represented interest expense on outstanding notes payable during this timeframe.  This represented an increase over the same period in 2014 due to additional debt outstanding in 2015.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014.

The following is a comparison of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Revenues

We did not generate any revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for our booths and our mobile app.  Research and development expenses increased slightly during the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to increased spending relating to the mobile app.  We do not expect research and development expenses to be significant going forward as the technological development and design of our booths was incurred during 2013.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $1,730,658 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is due primarily to amortization expense of $193,696 relating to the acquisition of the Songstagram assets in January 2015 and share based compensation expense of $253,041.  We did not have any of these expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Our general and administrative expenses also increased during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 2014 due to increases in consulting expenses, rent expense for display of our bBooth units, and salary related expenses.  These expenses were not significant during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as our operations had not significantly started.

Interest expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $43,014.  This represented interest expense on outstanding notes payable during this timeframe.  This represented an increase over the same period in 2014 due to additional debt outstanding in 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

		For the Six Months Ended
		June 30,				June 30,
		2015				2014
Cash used in operating activities		$	(1,922,618	)		$	(886,977	)
Cash used in investing activities			(93,815	)			(242,044	)
Cash provided by financing activities			935,000				2,005,062
Increase / (Decrease) in cash		$	(1,081,433	)		$	876,041

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $1,922,618, compared to cash used in 2014 of $886,977.  The primary reason for the change relates to higher spending in 2015 relating to consulting, professional fees and salary related costs in order to execute our business plan. 

Our cash used in investing activities amounted to $93,815 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $242,044 for 2014.  Our cash used in investing activities in 2015 consisted of $49,915 paid for the acquisition of booth equipment and $43,900 paid for the acquisition of Songstagram.  Cash used in investing activities in 2014 was higher primarily due to a deposit made of $199,428 as a down payment on a purchase order for ten booths.

Our cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $935,000 from proceeds received from additional notes payable borrowings.  Cash provided by financing activities in 2014 amounted to $2,005,062 and resulted from capital contributions from stockholders of $580,000 and proceeds from convertible notes payable of $1,500,000, offset by repayments of notes payable to related parties of $74,938.

As of June 30, 2015, we had cash of $90,684 and a working capital deficit of $1,363,799.  We estimate our operating expenses for the next 12 months will continue to exceed any revenues we generate, and we will need to raise capital through either debt or equity offerings to continue operations.

We are in the early stages of our business. We are required to fund growth from financing activities, and we intend to rely on a combination of equity and debt financings.  Due to market conditions and the early stage of our operations, there is considerable risk that our company will not be able to raise such financings at all, or on terms that are not overly dilutive to our existing shareholders.  We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds.

Going Concern

We have incurred operating losses since inception and have negative cash flows from operations. We also have an accumulated deficit of $12,627,806 as of June 30, 2015.  As a result, our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing until we can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations. Management intends to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue our company's operations. Management also intends to look at mergers with, or acquisitions of, other related entities to grow our company's business and customer base. 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until we begin generating positive cash flow.

There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes Payable

The following is a description of our outstanding notes payable as of June 30, 2015.

On September 30, 2014, we issued an unsecured demand promissory note to a third party lender in the principal amount of $100,000. The outstanding principal is due on demand, along with an additional interest fee of $5,000.

On February 26, 2015, we entered into an unsecured loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $200,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

On February 26, 2015, we entered into an unsecured loan agreement with our majority shareholder in the principal amount of $100,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

On March 21, 2015, we entered into an agreement with DelMorgan Group LLC ("DelMorgan"), pursuant to which DelMorgan agreed to act as our exclusive financial advisor.  In connection with the agreement, we paid DelMorgan $125,000, which was advanced by a third party lender in exchange for an unsecured note payable issued by the Company bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly beginning on April 20, 2015.  The note payable is due on the earlier of March 20, 2017, or upon completion of a private placement transaction, as defined in the agreement.  We expect this transaction to take place in the next twelve months.  As a result, the $125,000 note payable has been classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2015 in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On April 2, 2015, we entered into a loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $200,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

On May 26, 2015, we entered into an unsecured demand promissory note with a third party lender in the principal amount of $100,000.  The note bears interest at a rate of 20% per annum.  The principal and accrued interest are due in full on September 30, 2015.
