CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022 (this “Quarterly Report”), includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical facts and can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those expressions. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to such statements.

Our forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations about future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business, strategy, operations, financial performance or liquidity. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may impact our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors:

● our incursion of significant net losses and uncertainty whether we will be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations;

● our ability to continue as a going concern;

● our ability to grow and compete in the future, and to execute our business strategy;

● our ability to maintain and expand our customer base and our ability to convince our customers to increase the use of our services and/or platform;

● the competitive market in which we operate;

● our ability to increase the number of our strategic relationships and grow the revenues from our current strategic relationships;

● our ability to develop enhancements and new features to our existing service or acceptable new services that keep pace with technological developments;

● our ability to successfully launch new product platforms, including MARKET, the rate of adoption of these platforms and the revenue generated from these platforms;

● the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has had a negative impact on our business, sales, results of operations and financial condition;

● our ability to deliver our services, as we depend on third party Internet providers;

● our ability to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds to fund our operations and execute our business strategy, and the impact of these transactions on our business and existing stockholders;

● our ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel to lead our business;

● our ability to pay our debt obligations as they become due;

● our susceptibility to security breaches and other disruptions; and

● global economic, political, and social trends, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns.

The foregoing list may not include all of the risk factors that impact the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report. Our actual financial condition and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements as a result of various additional factors, including those discussed in the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”), as well as in the other reports we file with the SEC. You should read this Quarterly Report, and the other documents we file with the SEC, with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.

We operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual future results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors.

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our Business

References in this Quarterly Report to the “Company,” “Verb,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Verb Technology Company, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. Throughout this Quarterly Report, we use the terms “client” and “customer” interchangeably.

The Company is a SaaS applications platform developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of interactive video-based sales enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our applications, available in both mobile and desktop versions, are offered as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM, our Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) application, verbLEARN, our Learning Management System application, verbLIVE, our Live Stream eCommerce application, verbPULSE, our business/augmented intelligence notification and sales coach application, and verbTEAMS, our self-onboarding video-based CRM and content management application for professional sports teams, small business and solopreneurs, with seamless synchronization with Salesforce, that also comes bundled with verbLIVE, and more recently, we introduced verbMAIL, our interactive video-based sales communication tool integrated into Microsoft Outlook. MARKET.live is our multi-vendor, multi-presenter, livestream social shopping platform that combines ecommerce and entertainment.

The Company also provides certain non-digital services to some of its enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services.

Economic Disruption

Our business is dependent in part on general economic conditions. Many jurisdictions in which our customers are located and our products are sold have experienced and could continue to experience unfavorable general economic conditions, such as inflation, increased interest rates and recessionary concerns, which could negatively affect demand for our products. Under difficult economic conditions, customers may seek to cease spending on our current products or fail to adopt our new products, which could negatively affect our financial performance. We cannot predict the timing or magnitude of an economic slowdown or the timing or strength of any economic recovery. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

COVID-19

As of the date of this filing, there continues to be concern regarding the ongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the regions in which the Company operates. Although the impacts of the pandemic on our business have not been material to date, a prolonged downturn in economic conditions as a result of the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our customers and demand for our products. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the impacts of the pandemic, or other outbreaks of communicable diseases, on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

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, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

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 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Direct, LLC, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, and verbMarketplace, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $13,363 and used cash in operations of $11,002. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements were issued.

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000 of newly issued shares (the “Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”), issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

On January 12, 2022, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with three institutional investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300 in convertible notes due January 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “Note Offering”). The Company and the Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to the Note Holders in substantially all of its assets.

On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), which provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of (i) 14,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase 14,666,667 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The Purchase Agreement, among other things, restricts us from selling shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and pursuant to an “at-the-market” offering previously entered into with Truist Securities. As a result of this transaction, certain of our Series A warrants which previously had exercise prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10 per share were repriced to $0.75 per share. As a result of entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company repaid $1,650 in principal payments of the Notes issued pursuant to the Note Offering.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to operate its business and pay its debt obligations as they become due, it may need to seek to raise additional capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or change its business strategy. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available in the amounts, on terms, or at times deemed acceptable by the Company. The issuance of additional equity securities would result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders and could include rights or preferences senior to those the current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans would increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments and potentially impose significant operational or financial restrictions. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the Company may be unable to continue its business, as planned, and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations, which may result in the stockholders losing some or all of their investment.

For additional information, refer to Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the section titled “Risk Factors”, within the 2021 Annual Report.

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 at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.

Significant estimates include assumptions made in analysis of reserves for allowance of doubtful accounts, inventory, assumptions made in purchase price allocations, impairment testing of long-term assets, realization of deferred tax assets, determining fair value of derivative liabilities, and valuation of equity instruments issued for services. Some of those assumptions can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services.

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

Subscription revenue from the application services is recognized over the life of the estimated subscription period. The Company also charges certain customers setup or installation fees for the creation and development of websites and mobile applications. These fees are accounted for as part of contract liabilities and amortized over the estimated life of the agreement. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer.

The non-digital products sold by us are distinctly individual. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Other than promotional activities, which can vary from time to time but nevertheless are entirely within the Company’s control, contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. The control of products we sell transfers to our customers upon shipment from our facilities, and our performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected as part of revenue, and the related costs are reflected in cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Historically, we have not experienced any significant payment delays from customers. The Company allows returns within 30 days of purchase from end-users. Customers may return purchased products under certain circumstances. Returns from customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

Revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were substantially all generated from clients and customers located within the United States of America, though some utilize the Company’s applications outside the United States of America.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of the salaries of certain employees and contractors, digital content costs, purchase price of consumer products, packaging supplies, and customer shipping and handling expenses. Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of revenue upon sale of products to our customers.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities represent consideration received from customers under revenue contracts for which the Company has not yet delivered or completed its performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized over the contract period.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal and external costs directly associated with developing internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license, during the application development stage of its projects. The Company’s internal-use software is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation begins once the project has been completed and is ready for its intended use. The Company will depreciate the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of three years, which is the estimated useful life. Software maintenance activities or minor upgrades are expensed in the period performed. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company capitalized $6,461 and $4,348, respectively, in software development costs and recorded as capitalized software development costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 3).

Depreciation expense related to capitalized software development costs are recorded in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no depreciation expense related to capitalized software development costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as the software had not been completed and utilized as of the balance sheet dates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of financing obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative financial instruments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a Binomial pricing model. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjusted to fair value of derivatives.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Share-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 fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and is recognized as expense over the service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for services.

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 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon exercise.

As of June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company had total outstanding options of 5,983,669 and 5,875,190, respectively, warrants of 25,651,407 and 12,389,228, respectively, outstanding restricted stock units of 2,199,388 and 2,751,508, respectively, and Convertible Notes Due 2023 that are convertible into 1,495,289 and 0 shares at $3.00 per share, respectively, which were all excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with a limited number of financial institutions. The balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250.

The Company evaluates the concentration of credit risk associated with key customers. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our revenues individually or in the aggregate.

The Company extends limited credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits. The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the Company’s evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and credit worthiness of its customers.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our accounts receivable individually or in the aggregate.

The Company also evaluates the concentration of credit risk associated with key vendors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we had one vendor that accounted for 44% and 41%, respectively, of our purchases individually and in the aggregate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had one vendor that accounted for 30% and 28%, respectively, of our purchases individually and in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had one vendor that accounted for 41% and 40%, respectively, of accounts payable individually and in the aggregate.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 SCHEDULE OF SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and that adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 will require companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption impact of the new standard will depend on the magnitude of future acquisitions. The standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the adoption date.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832)—Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 increases the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As a small business filer, ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and the provisions of this update can be adopted using either the modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

3. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

In 2020, the Company began developing MARKET, a livestream ecommerce platform, and has capitalized $6,461 and $4,348 of internal and external development costs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In October 2021, the Company entered into a 10-year license and services agreement with a third party (the “Primary Contractor”) to develop certain components of MARKET. The Primary Contractor’s fees for developing such components, including the license fee, is $5,750. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s remaining software development obligation to the Primary Contractor was $105. The Primary Contractor was paid an additional $500 bonus in April 2022 for services rendered pursuant to the license and service agreement. In addition, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had paid or accrued $389 and $248, respectively, of other capitalized software development costs.

There has been no amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Option to Acquire Primary Contractor

In August 2021, the Company entered into a term sheet that provided the Company the option to purchase the Primary Contractor assuming certain conditions are met. In November 2021, the Company exercised this option. The Company and the Primary Contractor subsequently reached an agreement-in-principle on the terms for the Company’s acquisition of the Primary Contractor, the final consummation of which is subject to the execution of a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) and the completion of an audit of the Primary Contractor that is satisfactory to the Company (the “Primary Contractor Audit”), as well as the fulfillment by the Primary Contractor of certain other conditions set forth in the term sheet. The term sheet stipulates that if the Company had entered into the SPA and the Primary Contractor successfully completed the Primary Contractor Audit prior to May 15, 2022 (or a subsequent mutually agreed upon date) and thereafter determines not to consummate the acquisition of the Primary Contractor, the Company would have been liable for a $1,000 break-up fee payable to the Primary Contractor. However, as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the SPA has not been executed and the Primary Contractor Audit is ongoing. The parties are in discussions regarding the transaction. Based on the term sheet, the purchase price for the Primary Contractor would be $12,000, which can be paid in cash and/or stock, although the final terms of the acquisition will be set forth in the SPA. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed on the terms set forth in the term sheet or at all.

8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In prior years, the Company granted certain warrants that included a fundamental transaction provision that could give rise to an obligation to pay cash to the warrant holder. As a result, the fundamental transaction clause of these warrants is accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815 and are being re-measured every reporting period with the change in value reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The derivative liabilities were valued using a Binomial pricing model with the following assumptions:

SCHEDULE OF DERIVATIVE LIABILITY USING BINOMIAL PRICING MODEL ASSUMPTIONS 

The expected life of the warrants was based on the remaining contractual term of the instruments. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of $2,162 to account for the changes in the fair value of these derivative liabilities during the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded expense of $1,945 to account for the changes in the fair value of these derivative liabilities during the period. In addition, 1,094,246 shares of the Series A warrants that were accounted for as a derivative liability were exercised. As result, the Company computed the fair value of the corresponding derivative liability one last time which amounted to $2,300 and the extinguishment was accounted for as part of equity.
