Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016
(Unaudited)

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

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. and bBooth, Inc. changed its name to bBooth (USA), Inc. The operations of CMG and bBooth (USA), Inc. are collectively referred to as “bBoothUSA”.

 

On October 16, 2014, bBoothUSA completed a Share Exchange Agreement with Global System Designs, Inc. (“GSD”) which was accounted for as a reverse merger transaction. In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, GSD management was replaced by bBoothUSA management, and GSD changed its name to bBooth, Inc.

 

Effective April 21, 2017, the registrant (referred to as “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) changed our corporate name from bBooth, Inc. to nFüsz, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of nFüsz, Inc., our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into us. We were the surviving entity. To effectuate the merger, we filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 4, 2017 and a Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2017. The merger became effective on April 21, 2017. Our board of directors approved the merger, which resulted in the name change on that date. In accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, stockholder approval of the merger was not required.

 

On the effective date of the merger, our name was changed to “nFüsz, Inc.” and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), were further amended to reflect our new legal name. With the exception of the name change, there were no other changes to our Articles.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company has developed proprietary interactive video technology which serves as the basis for certain products and services that it licenses under the brand name “Notifi”. Its NotifiCRM, NotifiADS, NotifiLINKS, and NotifiWEB products are cloud-based, SaaS, CRM, sales lead generation, advertising and social engagement software, accessible on mobile and desktop platforms, for sales-based organizations, consumer brands, marketing and advertising agencies, and artists and social influencers seeking greater levels of viewer engagement, and higher sales conversion rates. The Company’s NotifiCRM platform is enterprise scalable and incorporates unique, proprietary, push-to-screen, interactive audio/video messaging and interactive on-screen “virtual salesperson” communications technology. The Company’s NotifiLIVE service is a proprietary broadcast video platform allowing viewers to interact with broadcast video content by clicking on links embedded in people, objects, graphics or sponsors’ signage displayed on the screen. Viewers can experience NotifiLIVE interactive content and capabilities on most devices available in the market today without the need to download special software or proprietary video players.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

 

 8 
 

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of nFusz, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Songstagram, Inc. (“Songstagram”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

We have incurred operating losses since inception and have negative cash flows from operations. We had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,995,900 as of June 30, 2017 and utilized $794,754 of cash for the period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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. We intend to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue our operations. There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us. The consolidated 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.

 

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 accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions used in determining the fair value of share based payments, and realization of deferred tax assets. Amounts could materially change in the future.

 

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.

 

 9 
 

 

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.

 

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, 2017, the Company had a total of 23,030,953 options and 20,540,456 warrants outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had total of 11,600,000 options and 16,449,734 warrants which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU require, among other things, that all income tax effects of awards be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The ASU also allows for an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

   2017   2016   2017   2016 
Risk-free interest rate   1.77% - 1.89%   1.22 - 1.24    1.22% - 1.93%   1.22% - 1.65%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s current dividend rate and future expectations

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

 

The Company has developed proprietary interactive video technology which serves as the basis for certain products and services that it licenses under the brand name “Notifi”. Its NotifiCRM, NotifiADS, NotifiLINKS, and NotifiWEB products are cloud-based, SaaS, CRM, sales lead generation, advertising, and social engagement software, accessible on mobile and desktop platforms, for sales-based organizations, consumer brands, marketing and advertising agencies, and artists and social influencers seeking greater levels of viewer engagement and higher sales conversion rates. The Company’s NotifiCRM platform is enterprise scalable and incorporates unique, proprietary, push-to-screen, interactive audio/video messaging and interactive on-screen “virtual salesperson” communications technology. The Company’s NotifiLIVE service is a proprietary broadcast video platform allowing viewers to interact with broadcast video content by clicking on links embedded in people, objects, graphics or sponsors’ signage displayed on the screen. Viewers can experience NotifiLIVE interactive content and capabilities on most devices available in the market today without the need to download special software or proprietary video players.

 

The Company was previously engaged in the manufacture, marketing, and operation of audition booths deployed in shopping malls and other high-traffic venues in the United States and in the production of interactive television content. The audition booths were portable recording studio kiosks, branded and marketed as “bBooth,” in which customers could audition for TV shows such as American Idol. The kiosks were Internet connected and integrated into a social media, messaging, gaming, music streaming and video sharing app called bBoothGO.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to valuation of the fair value of financial instruments, share based compensation arrangements and long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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.

 

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. No impairment of long-lived assets was required for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Stock- Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company’s common stock option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Research and development expenses were $92,240 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $83,366 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in fees for coders dedicated to software development enhancements and modifications.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1,352,028 and $1,047,580, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock based compensation expense of approximately $395,000.

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, 2017 and 2016.

 

   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2017   2016 
Cash used in operating activities  $(794,754)  $(895,675)
Cash used in investing activities   -    - 
Cash provided by financing activities   805,000    835,200 
Increase / (Decrease) in cash  $10,246   $(60,475)

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $794,754 compared to cash used in 2016 of $895,675. The change is due to an increase in business activity which resulted in an additional consulting, salary, and various operating expenses in 2017 compared to 2016.

 

Our cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $805,000 which represented $450,000 of proceeds received from issuances of common stock, $255,000 of proceeds received from the issuance of convertible series A preferred stock, and $100,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt. Our cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $835,200 which represented $918,980 of proceeds received from common stock subscriptions, $82,446 of additional borrowings from our Chief Executive Officer offset by $166,226 of repurchases of the Company’s common stock.

 

As of June 30, 2017, we had cash of $27,008. We estimate our operating expenses for the next three months may continue to exceed any revenues we generate, and we may 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 had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,995,900 as of June 30, 2017 and utilized $794,754 in cash for the period ended. 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. We intend to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue our operations.

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we may not 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 our Company begins generating positive cash flow.

 

There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us. The consolidated 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.

  (a) On March 21, 2015 – The Company entered into an agreement with DelMorgan Group LLC (“DelMorgan”), pursuant to which DelMorgan agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor. In connection with the agreement, the Company 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.
     
    Effective March 20, 2017, the Company entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with DelMorgan to extend the maturity date of the Note to and including March 20, 2018. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged.
     
  (b) On December 15, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a buyer, whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Company, (i) a non-interest bearing Note in the original principal amount of $250,000, (ii) Warrants, and (iii) shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to 30% of the purchase price of the respective tranche divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of funding of the respective tranche (collectively, the “Inducement Shares”). The “Maturity Date” shall be six months from the date of each payment of Consideration. A one-time interest charge of five percent (5%) (“Interest Rate”) is to be applied on the Issuance Date to the original principal amount. In addition, there is a 10% Original Issue Discount that is to be prorated based on the consideration paid by the Buyer.

 

On December 16, 2016, the Buyer purchased for $80,000 the first tranche of the Note and the respective securities to be issued and the Company sold to it including (i) a three-year warrant to acquire 176,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and (ii) 240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Upon issuance of the note, the company accounted for an original issue discount of $21,300, which consisted of (i) the 10% original issue discount of $8,800, and (ii) the fixed interest of 5% which aggregated $12,500 (such rate based on the entire funding due of $250,000). The original issue discount will be accreted to interest expense over the life of the note, resulting in a net amount due the holder of $101,300 at maturity. In addition, the (iii) the fair value of the 240,000 common shares of $21,600 issued to the holder, and (iv) the relative fair value of the warrants of $32,059 was considered as additional valuation discount to be amortized as interest expense over the life of the note.

 

The aggregate fair value of the original issue discount and the equity securities issued upon inception of the note of $53,659 was recorded as a valuation discount. The balance of the valuation discount at December 31, 2016 was $48,942. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, $48,942 of this amount was amortized as interest expense.

 

On June 7, 2017, the Company converted the debt and issued the Buyer 462,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) with a fair value of $110,880 at the date of the agreement. In the event the Buyer does not realize sufficient proceeds through sales of the Shares, in accordance with the terms set forth herein, to equal $92,400, after deduction of reasonable sale transaction-related expenses, the Company agrees to issue additional shares to make up the deficiency or to pay such deficiency in cash, at the Company’s option. The Parties agree that this “Make Whole” provision shall expire and be of no further force and effect on the date the sum of net proceeds realized from the sale of the initial issuance of 462,000 shares is equal to or great than $92,400; or any deficiency is paid in cash by the Company at its option; or June 7, 2018, whichever occurs first. The buyer agrees not to sell more than 10 percent (10%) of the total weekly volume of FUSZ common shares traded in the United States domestic over-the-counter stock market in any one week. The Buyer agrees, that upon request of the Company, to provide trading records to the Company reflecting all sales of the Shares, within 1 (one) business days following such request. As a result of this conversion, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $9,580 to account the difference between the fair value of the share issued and the note converted.

  On various dates during the year ended December 31, 2015, Rory J. Cutaia, the Company’s majority shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, loaned the Company total principal amounts of $1,203,242. The loans were unsecured and all due on demand, bearing interest at 12% per annum. On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note agreement with Mr. Cutaia whereby all outstanding principal and accrued interest owed to Mr. Cutaia from previous loans amounting to an aggregate total of $1,248,883 and due on demand, was consolidated under a note payable agreement, bearing interest at 12% per annum, and converted from due on demand to due in full on April 1, 2017. In consideration for Mr. Cutaia’s agreement to consolidate the loans and extend the maturity date, the Company granted Mr. Cutaia a senior security interest in substantially all current and future assets of the Company. Per the terms of the agreement, at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion, he may convert up to $374,665 of outstanding principal, plus accrued interest thereon, into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07 per share. +
     
  On May 4, 2017, the Company entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with Rory J. Cutaia to extend the maturity date of the $1,248,883 Secured Note due on April 1, 2017 to and including August 1, 2018. In consideration for extending the Note the Company issued Mr. Cutaia 1,755,192 warrants at a price of $0.355. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged. The Company determined that the extension of the note’s maturity resulted in a debt extinguishment for accounting purposes since the fair value of the warrants granted was more than 10% of the recorded value of the original convertible note. As a result, Company recorded the fair value of the new note which approximates the original carrying value $1,198,883 and expensed the entire fair value of the warrants granted of $517,291 as part of loss on debt extinguishment. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the principal amount of the notes payable was $1,198,883.

The note extends the payment terms from on-demand to due in full on April 1, 2017. The outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07.
     
  On May 4, 2017, the Company entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with Rory J. Cutaia to extend the maturity date of the $189,000 Unsecured Note due on April 1, 2017 to and including August 1, 2018. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged.

(a) The Company entered into a series of unsecured loan agreement with Oceanside Strategies, Inc. (“Oceanside”) a third party-lender, in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 through December 31, 2015. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 5% to 12% per annum and were due on demand.

 

On April 3, 2016, the Company issued an unsecured convertible note payable to Oceanside in the amount of $680,268 (this amount includes $600,000 principal amount and $80,268 accrued and unpaid interest). This note superseded and replaced all previous notes and current liabilities due to Oceanside for sums Oceanside loaned to the Company in 2014 and 2015. This note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually. In consideration for Oceanside’s agreement to convert the prior notes from current demand notes and extend the maturity date to December 4, 2016, the Company granted Oceanside the right to convert up to 30% of the amount of such note into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.07 per share and issued 2,429,530 share purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.07 per share until April 4, 2019.

Effective December 30, 2016, the Company entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with Oceanside to extend the maturity date of the Note to and including August 4, 2017. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged. In consideration for Oceanside’s agreement to extend the maturity date to August 4, 2017, the Company issued Oceanside 2,429,530 share purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.08 per share until December 29, 2019.

 

(b) On June 19, 2017, the Company issued an unsecured convertible note to Lucas Holdings in the amount of $100,000 in exchange for 50,000 shares of common stock and a three-year warrant to acquire 330,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $.30 per share. The “Maturity Date” is February 18, 2018. A one-time interest charge of five percent (5%) (“Interest Rate”) is to be applied on the Issuance Date to the original principal amount. In addition, there is a 5% Original Issue Discount.

 

Upon issuance of the note, the company accounted for an original issue discount of $10,000 which consisted of (i) the 5% original issue discount of $5,000, and (ii) the fixed interest of 5% which aggregated $5,000. The original issue discount will be accreted to interest expense over the life of the note, resulting in a net amount due the holder of $110,000 at maturity. In addition, the (iii) the fair value of the 50,000 common shares of $12,500 issued to the holder, (iv) the relative fair value of the warrants of $40,180, and (v) the relative fair value of the beneficial conversion feather of $47,320 were considered as additional valuation discount and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the note.

 

The aggregate fair value of the original issue discount and the equity securities issued upon inception of the note of $110,000 has been recorded as a valuation discount. As of June 30, 2017, $4,939 of this amount was amortized as interest expense.

 

Total interest expense for convertible notes payable for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $40,481 and $40,704, respectively. Total interest expense for convertible notes payable for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $20,352 and $20,352, respectively.

 

CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

Effective February 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between an otherwise unaffiliated, accredited investor (the “Purchaser”) and the Company in connection with our issuance and sale to the Purchaser of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the terms and conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Sale”).

 

In connection with the Sale, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized and approved a series of preferred stock to be known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, for which 1,050,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share, were authorized and a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Certificate”), was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “State”) to effectuate the authorization. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock may occur in several tranches (each, a “Tranche” and, collectively, the “Tranches”). The first Tranche of $300,000 ($315,000 in stated value, represented by 315,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock) closed simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on February 14, 2017 (the “First Closing”), and each additional Tranche shall close at such times and on such financial terms as may be agreed to by the Purchaser and us. The net proceeds to us after offering costs was $255,000.

 

The Series A PS has the following rights and privileges:

 

  Senior rights in terms preference as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company;
  Accrues dividends at a rate of 5% per annum;
  Mandatorily redeemable at an installment basis starting August 13, 2017 in the amount of $63,000 plus accrued interest. The Company has the option to redeem the Series A shares in cash or in shares of common stock based upon the Company’s 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued in the First Closing are to be redeemed by us in five (5) equal weekly payments (each, a “Redemption Payment”), commencing in approximately 180 days from the First Closing. All but one of the Redemption Payments may be made by us in cash or in shares of our common stock, at our option. The Holder shall have the option to demand payment of one Installment Redemption Payment in shares of Common Stock Redemption Payments made using shares of our common stock will be valued based upon a VWAP formula, tied to the then-current quoted price of shares of our common stock, described with greater particularity in the Purchase Agreement.

 

 26 
 

 

The Company considered the guidance of ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity to determine the appropriate treatment of the Series A shares. Pursuant to ASC 480-10, the Company determined that the Series A shares is an obligation to be settled, at the option of the Company, in cash or in variable number of shares with a fixed monetary value that should be recorded as a liability under ASC 480-10. As a result, the Company determined the fair value of the Series A to be $300,000 upon issuance with the difference of $15,000 from the face amount, and incurred legal fees of $45,000, to be accounted as a debt discount which will be amortized over the term of the redemption period of the Series A shares.

 

As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a liability of $315,000 and a debt discount of $60,000, upon issuance. As of June 30, 2017, the remaining unamortized discount was $20,857 resulting in a net amount due of $294,143.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We have one pending litigation filed on September 19, 2016. The action is captioned as Multicore Technologies, an Indian Corporation, plaintiff, v. Rocky Wright, an individual, bBooth, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Blabeey, Inc, a Nevada corporation, defendants. The action is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California under Case No.: 2:16-cv-7026 DSF (AJWx). The First Amended Complaint was filed on January 27, 2017, alleging breach of Implied-in-fact Contract and Quantum Meruit relating to services Multicore allegedly performed on behalf of bBooth in connection with various web and mobile applications. Multicore is seeking damages of approximately $157,000 plus interest and cost of suit. We filed an Answer denying Multicore’s claims on March 13, 2017.

We intend to vigorously defend the action and have determined not to create a reserve in our financial statements for an unfavorable outcome.
