MOBIQUITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries (“Mobiquity,” “we,” “our” or “the Company”), are a next generation location data intelligence company. The Company provides precise unique, at-scale location data and insights on consumer’s real-world behavior and trends for use in marketing and research. We provide one of the most accurate and scaled solutions for mobile data collection and analysis, utilizing multiple geo-location technologies. The Company is seeking to implement several new revenue streams from its data collection and analysis, including, but not limited to, Advertising, Data Licensing, Footfall Reporting, Attribution Reporting, Real Estate Planning, Financial Forecasting and Custom Research. We also are a developer of advertising and marketing technology focused on the creation, automation, and maintenance of an advertising technology operating system (or ATOS). The ATOS platform blends artificial intelligence (or AI) and machine learning (ML) based optimization technology for automatic ad serving that manages and runs digital advertising campaigns.

 

Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of New York and has the following subsidiaries:

   
Company Name   State of Incorporation
Mobiquity Networks, Inc.   New York
Advangelists, LLC   Delaware

 

Mobiquity Networks, Inc.

 

Mobiquity Networks, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., commencing operations in May 2018. Mobiquity Networks started and developed as a mobile advertising technology company focused on driving foot-traffic throughout its indoor network and has evolved and grown into a next generation data intelligence company. Mobiquity Networks, Inc. operates our data intelligence platform business.

 

Advangelists, LLC

 

Advangelists LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., acquired through a merger transaction in December 2018, and operates our ATOS platform business.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On August 7, 2023, we effected a one-for-15 reverse stock split. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split as if the split had occurred prior to the dates on the consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These 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.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

· Net loss of $3,071,366 and
· Net cash used in operations was $1,798,860

 

Additionally, at September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

· Accumulated deficit of $220,111,705
· Stockholders’ equity of $2,124,518, and
· Working capital deficit of $2,598,410.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $189,810 at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception in 1998 and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

Without sufficient revenue from operations, if the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued, as the Company will need additional capital to meet its financial obligations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

· Execution of business plan focused on technology development and improvement,
· Seek out equity and/or debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders and investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable.
· Continuing to explore and execute prospective partnering, distribution and acquisition opportunities,
· Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Segments and Concentrations

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as a single reporting segment. Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Company assets and liabilities, including the allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks and the potential of overall business failure.

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and net earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s service offerings. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments at fair value, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  · Level 1—Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets that the Company can access for identical assets or liabilities;
     
  · Level 2—Valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; and
     
  · Level 3—Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management.

 

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued interest – related party, and contract liabilities. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value based on current financing rates available to the Company.

 

The Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Risk

 

For the purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to funds could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

For the quarters ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, sales of our products to four customers and three customers generated approximately 86% and 96% of our revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, sales of our products to five customers and three customers generated approximately 86% and 76% of our revenues, respectively. Our contracts with our customers generally do not obligate them to a specified term and they can generally terminate their relationship with us at any time with a minimal amount of notice. The loss of one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which significantly change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the consolidated financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral. Two of our customers combined accounted for approximately 70% of outstanding accounts receivable at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company had accounts receivable, net, of $144,664, $34,628, and $340,935 at September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, respectively.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for credit losses. The Company provides its allowance for credit losses based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible losses are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

The allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and the related activity, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is as follows:

    
Balance, December 31, 2023  $1,157,910 
Provision for credit losses   92,779 
Write-off of previously reserved account balances   (1,106,025)
Balance, September 30, 2024  $144,664 

 

Provision for credit losses expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15“Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets and compares this to the carrying amounts of the assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment was recognized by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in current results of operations.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Advangelists LLC in December 2018 over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead, it is tested for impairment at least annually. If management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a charge in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

 

The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31st of each year, or more frequently, if certain indicators are present. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (i) have discrete financial information available, (ii) engage in business activities, and (iii) whether a segment manager regularly reviews the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit associated with the acquired business based on the anticipated organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. The Company has one reporting unit as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. No impairment of goodwill was recognized by the Company during fiscal 2023 or the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Assets

 

In December 2018, the Company acquired the majority of its intangible assets through its acquisition of Advangelists LLC, which included customer relationships and the ATOS platform technology. The Company amortizes its identifiable definite-lived intangible assets over an estimated period of 5 years.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, the Company capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to its platforms. Software development activities generally consist of three stages (i) the research and planning stage, (ii) the application and development stage, and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the research and planning stage and in the post-implementation stage of software development, or other maintenance and development expenses that do not meet the qualification for capitalization, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application and development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. These costs include personnel and related employee benefits expenses for employees or consultants directly associated with and who devote time to software projects and external direct costs of materials obtained in developing the software. These software developments and acquired technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years upon the initial release of the software or additional features. The Company reviews the software development costs for impairment when circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over the fair value in its consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 for further details.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (ASC 480), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (ASC 815) Derivatives and Hedging.

 

Terms of financial instruments are reviewed to determine whether they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract under ASC 815 and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivative liabilities are remeasured to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in the results of operations. The Company generally incorporates a binomial model to determine fair value. Upon conversion of a debt instrument where an embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, the Company records the resulting shares issued at fair value, derecognizes all related debt principal, derivative liability, and debt discount, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding.

 

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts

 

Debt discounts, debt issuance costs paid to lenders or third parties, and other original issue discounts on debt, are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, over the term of the underlying debt instrument, using the effective interest method, with the unamortized portion reported net with related principal outstanding on the consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $118,262 and no interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts on debt outstanding during the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $265,556 and $738,142 in interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts on debts outstanding during the periods. Unamortized debt discounts remaining at September 30, 2024 were approximately $229,000 and are expected to be fully amortized during the remainder of 2024. See Note 4 regarding the accounting for debt discounts and debt issuance costs during fiscal 2024 and 2023.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are generated from internet advertising, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when promised services are transferred to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer.

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

  

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services (performance obligations), the Company must apply a judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Currently, the Company does not have any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations.

 

Determine the transaction price.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration of which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts outstanding at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, contained a significant financing component or variable consideration terms.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised service to a customer. Under both managed services arrangements and self-service arrangements, the Company’s promised services under the contracts include identification, bidding and purchasing of advertisement opportunities. The Company also generally has discretion in establishing the pricing of the ads. Since the Company is controlling the promise to deliver the contracted services, the Company is considered the principal in all arrangements for revenue recognition purposes. The performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue recognition primarily upon publication of customer advertising content.

 

All revenues recognized were derived from internet advertising for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, there were $77,110, $195,135, and $193,598, respectively, in contract liabilities outstanding. Contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within the year following their respective period end.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs incurred were insignificant for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation, including stock options and common stock warrants, under ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period for employee awards, which is usually the vesting period, and when the goods are obtained or services are received, for nonemployee awards. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also applies to transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is generally determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date).

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

When determining the fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

· Exercise price,
· Expected dividends,
· Expected volatility,
· Risk-free interest rate; and
· Expected life of option

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as gain or loss in the period that includes the date of the enactment.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized uncertain income tax positions, in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Open tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the filing date. Tax years subject to examination by the state jurisdiction generally remain open for up to four years from the filing date.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

 

We consider the applicability and impact of all new accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of a customer relationship asset acquired through the Advangelists, LLC acquisition in 2018, and capitalized software development costs. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years. The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. These assets are also reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

           
   Useful Lives  September 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
            
Customer relationship  5 years  $3,003,676   $3,003,676 
Less accumulated amortization      (3,003,676)   (2,927,188)
Net carrying value     $   $76,488 
              
Software development costs  5 years  $3,602,328   $2,157,932 
Less accumulated amortization      (237,649)   (108,024)
Net carrying value, software development costs     $3,364,679   $2,049,908 

  

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized zero and $150,184 in amortization expense, respectively, related to the customer relationship intangible asset, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $76,488 and $450,551 in amortization expense, respectively, related to the customer relationship intangible asset.

  

During each of the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $43,209 of amortization expense related to software development costs, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $129,625 and $64,813, respectively, of amortization expense related to software development costs.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company has capitalized a total of approximately $3,600,000 and $2,200,000, respectively, of costs associated with the development of its new software enhancements, referred to as ATOS4P and AdHere. The approximately $1,440,000 in costs capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were all related to AdHere enhancement only. The Company ceased capitalizing costs, and commenced marketing its ATOS4P enhancement to the public, during the second quarter of 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not commenced amortization of the costs associated with the AdHere technology. The product has been released to the public in October of 2024, at which time the Company began amortizing the costs.

 

Future amortization of the approximately $3,400,000 in unamortized software development costs, by fiscal year, at September 30, 2024, is as follows:

    
   Software Development Costs 
Remainder of 2024  $180,116 
2025   720,466 
2026   720,466 
2027   720,466 
2028   612,443 
2029   410,722 
Total  $3,364,679

NOTE 4 – DEBT

 

Small Business Administration Loan

 

In June 2020, the Company received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan of $150,000 from the Small Business Administration (SBA) which carries a thirty-year term, and interest at 3.7% per annum, with a maturity date in July of 2050. The loan is to be repaid in monthly installments, including principal and interest, of $731, beginning twelve months from the date of the loan. Total accrued and unpaid interest on the debt was $13,594 at December 31, 2022 and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On January 5, 2023, the Company paid $163,885 to the Small Business Administration to pay off all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Company’s SBA loan.

 

Investor Note Payable

 

On December 30, 2022, the Company and Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (the Investor), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the SPA) for the Investor to purchase from the Company (i) a senior secured 20% original issue discount (OID) nine-month promissory note in an aggregate gross principal amount of $1,437,500, less the 20% OID of $287,500, for a net subscription amount of $1,150,000 (the Investor Note), and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase 174,242 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.60 per share, exercisable commencing July 1, 2023 and expiring December 30, 2027 (the Investor Warrant). Proceeds from the SPA were received by the Company in January 2023. Per terms of the SPA, if at any time commencing July 1, 2023, the Company issues, sells, or announces for sale, any shares of its common stock (Subsequent Equity Sale) for a per share price less than the exercise price of the Investor Warrant in effect immediately prior to such Subsequent Equity Sale, the exercise price of the Investor Warrant shall be reduced to an amount equal to the issuance price of the Subsequent Equity Sale.

 

In conjunction with the SPA, the Company issued 34,849 shares of common stock, or approximately 5.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares at the time, to the Investor as an incentive on the transaction (Incentive Shares). Total issuance fees of $138,500 associated with the closing of the SPA were paid by the Company to Spartan Capital Securities LLC and the Investor’s counsel, resulting in net proceeds of $1,011,500. Approximately $163,000 of the loan proceeds were utilized to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the SBA loan (see above).

 

The Investor Note will only become convertible into common stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Investor Note on terms set forth in the Investor Note. This Investor Note matures and was payable on or before September 30, 2023, and it provided that the Investor may demand prepayment after March 31, 2023, and before the maturity date, provided that the purchasers of securities in a future public offering by the Company, as defined in the SPA, who hold the purchased Company securities at the time the prepayment demand, unanimously consent to the prepayment. On June 30, 2023, the secured debt was paid in full through the proceeds of the Company’s June 2023 Offering. See Note 5.

 

The aforementioned Investor Warrant was assigned a relative fair value of $586,040 and the Incentive Shares were assigned a relative fair value of $122,426, at the date of closing on the SPA. The fair values of the Investor Warrant, the Incentive Shares, the OID of $287,500, and the $138,500 in debt issuance costs paid, were recorded as debt discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $1,134,466. Amortization associated with the total debt discounts is being recognized using the effective interest method over the term of the Investor Note, which matured on September 30, 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, $360,993 in amortization on the debt discounts was recognized as interest expense and is included on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Related Party - Salkind Loans

Proceeds from the Agreement were received by the Company in January 2023.

 

In conjunction with the Walleye SPA, the Company issued 34,849 shares of common stock, or approximately 5.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares at that time, to the Investor as an incentive on the transaction (Incentive Shares). Excluding the above-mentioned Investor Warrant, the shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to such Investor Warrant are not being considered beneficially owned by the Investor until the Investor Warrant is exercisable within 60 days. Total issuance fees of $138,500 associated with the closing of the Walleye SPA were paid by the Company to Spartan Capital Securities LLC and the Investor’s counsel, resulting in net proceeds of $1,011,500. Approximately $163,000 of the loan proceeds were utilized to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under an SBA loan.

 

The Investor Note will only become convertible into common stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Investor Note on terms set forth in the Investor Note. This Investor Note matures and is payable on or before September 30, 2023, and it provides that the Investor may demand prepayment after March 31, 2023, and before the maturity date, provided that the purchasers of securities in a future public offering by the Company, as defined in the Walleye SPA, who hold the purchased Company securities at the time the prepayment demand, unanimously consent to the prepayment.

In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Investor Note pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee and granted a first lien security interest in all their assets to the Investor as additional collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement. All securities sold in the above-described transaction contain certain piggy-back registration rights after the completion of our February 2023 Offering (see below). During the third quarter of 2023, the secured debt was paid in full through the proceeds of our June 2023 Offering.

 

The aforementioned Investor Warrant was deemed to be an equity-classified derivative instrument with a fair value of $1,526,363 at the date of closing on the Agreement, incorporating the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the Incentive Shares were deemed to have a fair value of $318,863 based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day preceding the closing of the Walleye SPA. Per accounting guidance under ASC 815, the Company recorded the fair values of the Investor Warrant and Incentive Shares based on the relative fair value allocation method, which allocates fair values as a percentage of total fair value of the debt, Investor Warrant, and Incentive Shares, in proportion to the net proceeds received under the Investor Note of $1,150,000.

February 2023 Offering

 

On February 13, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Spartan Capital Securities LLC (the Underwriter) relating to a public offering of 251,842 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 285,792 shares of common stock (the Shares), for net proceeds of $3,207,500 (the February 2023 Offering). In conjunction with the February 2023 Offering, which closed on February 16, 2023, the investors also received other Warrants to purchase 806,452 shares of common stock (Series 2023 Warrants) on a cash basis or up to 403,226 shares on a cashless basis. The offered Shares were priced at $6.975 per combination of one share of common stock or one pre-funded warrant, accompanied by one Series 2023 Warrant.

 

Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable at any time, until fully exercised, to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0015 per share. Each Series 2023 Warrant is exercisable for five years to purchase 0.1 share of common stock at a cash exercise price of $6.975 per warrant share. The Series 2023 Warrants contain an alternative cashless exercise provision permitting the holder to acquire 0.05 share of common stock for every 0.1 warrant share any time after the earlier of (i) 30 days following the initial exercise date of February 14, 2023, and (ii) the date on which the aggregate trading volume of the Company’s common stock, beginning on the initial exercise date of the Series 2023 Warrants, exceeds 2,419,355 shares. Additionally, the exercise price of both the pre-funded warrants and the Series 2023 Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriter agreement, and as partial consideration to the Underwriter, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 26,882 shares of common stock, exercisable from February 14, 2023, through February 14, 2028, at an initial exercise price of $7.6725 per share. This warrant was cancelled by the underwriter on or about June 30, 2023, in connection with the completion of the June 2023 Offering described below. The Company also granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 80,645 shares and/or pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares and accompanying Series 2023 Warrants to purchase 120,968 shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any. No additional shares or pre-funded warrants were purchased by the Underwriter. The Company paid a cash fee to the Underwriter equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised in February 2023 Offering, plus a reimbursement of Underwriter fees totaling $242,500.

 

Between the closing of February 2023 Offering and June 30, 2023, investors holding pre-funded warrants converted all their pre-funded warrants into 285,792 shares of common stock and elected the alternative cashless exercise provision for the Series 2023 Warrants, resulting in the issuance of 403,226 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2023, all the aforementioned pre-funded warrants and 2023 Warrants were exercised.

 

June 2023 Offering

 

On June 30, 2023, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. closed on a public offering selling an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common stock (and 1,625,000 common stock equivalents in the form of pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,625,000 common shares) to investors pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements at a public offering price of $1.50 per share (or $1.4985 per pre-funded warrant) (the June 2023 Offering), for total gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Placement agent fees and other offering costs totaled $472,001 and were recorded net of gross proceeds in the Company’s consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Additionally, the exercise price of pre-funded warrants is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like. Spartan Capital Securities, LLC acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent of the June 2023 Offering pursuant to a Placement Agent Agreement. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares and pre-funded warrants, after deducting the Placement Agent commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, was approximately $2,528,000. The Company used $1,437,500 of the proceeds received from the June 2023 Offering to fully satisfy its Senior Secured 20% OID Promissory Note to Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. See Note 4.

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the 2005 Plan) for the granting of up to 334 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company.

In April of 2022 and April 2023, Dean Julia was granted 833 options each year from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $23.25 and $3.30 and expiration of April 2031 and April 2032, respectively.

 

In March and April 2023, Nate Knight and Byron Booker, respectively, were each granted 1,667 options from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $3.30, and expiration of March 2028 and April 2028, respectively.

 

On December 19, 2023, the board approved, under the 2023 Plan, granting five-year Non-Statutory Stock Options to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common stock, immediately exercisable at $0.20 per share to various officers, directors, employees and consultants. Exemption from registration is claimed under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In April 2024, Dean Julia was granted 833 options from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $0.50 and expiration of April 2033.

 

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation.

 

The weighted average assumptions made by calculating the fair values of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are as follows:

        
   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2024   2023

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable on September 30, 2024, is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company’s common stock for the shares that had exercise prices lower than the $2.49 closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $1,410 and $22,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there is $464 in unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards to be recognized during fiscal 2024 and 2025, respectively.

In September of 2024 the consultant received an additional 100,000 warrants exercisable at $0.50 and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share.

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.

  

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are as follows:

        
   September 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Stock options   1,873,014    1,876,275 
Warrants   903,357    653,358

Series E preferred stock   10,281    10,281

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

Michael Trepeta, a former Co-CEO and director of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks in April 2023 in the New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County. The claims stem from a Separation Agreement and Release that Mr. Trepeta and the Company entered into nine years ago in April 2017 which terminated Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement and discontinued his employment and directorship with the Company, among other things, by mutual agreement. Mr. Trepeta also gave the Company a release in the Separation Agreement and Release. Mr. Trepeta has claimed that the Company fraudulently induced him to enter into the Separation Agreement and Release; that the Company breached Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement; and that the Company breached its covenant of good faith and fair dealing and its fiduciary duty. Mr. Trepeta is claiming not less than $2.5 Million in damages. Based on the Company’s initial internal review of the situation, the Company believes the claims lack merit and it intends to vigorously defend same. In December 2023, the Company was notified that its motion to dismiss Mr. Trepeta’ s action was granted but Mr. Trepeta has filed a notice of appeal. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

We are a next-generation advertising technology, data compliance and intelligence company which operates through our three proprietary software platforms in the programmatic advertising industry.

 

The Programmatic Advertising Industry

 

Programmatic advertising refers to the automated buying and selling of digital ad space.

This use of software and algorithms helps streamline ad buying processes, which is why programmatic has become one of the most indispensable digital marketing tools worldwide. In 2023, global programmatic ad spend reached an estimated 558 billion U.S. dollars, with spending set to surpass $700 billion by 2026. The United States remains the leading programmatic advertising market worldwide.

Due to the recent changes to Privacy Laws, such as GDPR and CCPA, along with Apple and Google’s removal of Identifiers, we believe Publishers are facing two significant issues: increasing costs due to privacy compliance laws and decreasing revenue, due to the lack of audience targeting. We believe there is a major paradigm shift occurring in the market, where user data and the targeting intelligence to use it must shift from middlemen directly to the content publishers. Publishers must own their first party data and manage their audiences’ segments in-house. We believe that irrespective of whether a publisher chooses to work with us or not, they need to find a solution that allows advertisers to buy directly from them.

  

Our Solutions

 

Programmatic Advertising Platform

 

Our advertising technology operating system (or ATOS) platform is a single-vendor end-to-end solution that blends artificial intelligence (or AI) and machine learning (or ML)-based optimization technology that automatically serves advertising and manages digital advertising campaigns. Our ATOS platform engages with approximately 10 billion advertisement opportunities per day.

 

As an automated programmatic ecosystem, ATOS increases speed and performance, by providing dynamic technology that scales in real-time. It is this proprietary cloud-based architecture that keeps costs down and allows us to pass along savings to our customers. Also, by offering more of the features inherent in a digital advertising campaign and removing the need for third-party integration of those features, we believe that our ATOS platform can be substantially more time efficient and cost efficient than other Demand-Side Platforms (or DSPs). Our ATOS platform also decreases the effective cost basis for users by integrating all the necessary capabilities at no additional cost as compared to the costs to outsource these capabilities to one or more providers in a fragmented ecosystem. DSP and bidding technologies, AdCop™ Fraud Protection, rich media and ad serving, attribution, reporting dashboard and DMP are all included in our ATOS platform.

 

Data Intelligence Platform

 

Our data intelligence platform provides precise data and insights on consumer’s real-world behavior and trends for use in marketing and research. Our management believes, based on our experience in the industry, that we provide one of the most accurate and scaled solutions for data collection and analysis, utilizing multiple internally developed proprietary technologies.

 

We provide our data intelligence platform to our customers on a managed services basis, and offer a self-service alternative through our MobiExchange product, which is a software-as-a-service (or SaaS) fee model. MobiExchange is a data-focused technology solution that enables users to rapidly build actionable data and insights for its own use. MobiExchange’s easy-to-use, self-service tools allow anyone to reduce the complex technical and financial barriers typically associated with turning offline data, and other business data, into actionable digital products and services. MobiExchange provides out-of-the box private labeling, flexible branding, content management, user management, user communications, subscriptions, payment, invoices, reporting, gateways to third party platforms, and help desk, among other things.

Publisher Platform for Monetization and Compliance

 

Our content publisher platform is a single-vendor ad tech operating system that allows publishers to better monetize their opt-in user data and advertising inventory. The platform includes tools for: consent management, audience building, a direct advertising interface and inventory enhancement. Our publisher platform provides content publishers with the functionality to use its user identifier data to create inventories of profiled data segments and to target audiences with advertising using that data, in a data privacy compliant manner.

 

Our Revenue Sources

 

We target publishers, brands, advertising agencies and other advertising technology companies as our audience for our three platform products. Our sales and marketing strategy is focused on providing a de-fragmented operating system that facilitates a considerably more efficient and effective way for advertisers and publishers to transact with each other. Our goal is to become the programmatic display advertising industry standard for small and medium sized advertisers. We generate revenue from our platforms through two verticals:

 

  · The first is licensing one or more of our platforms as a white-label product for use by advertising agencies, demand-side platforms (or DSP’s), brands and publishers. Under the white-label scenario, the user licenses a platform from us and is responsible for running its own business operations and is billed a percentage of amounts spent on advertising run through the platform.
     
  · The third revenue stream is a managed services model, in which, the user is billed a higher percentage of revenue run through a platform, but all services are managed by us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience, and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

 

 

 35 

 

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments at fair value, which as is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  · Level 1—Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access;
     
  · Level 2—Valuation based on observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; and
     
  · Level 3—Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management.

 

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest – related party, and accrued expenses, and contract liabilities. On September 30, 2024, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments, or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value based on the current financing rates available to the Company and its short-term nature.

 

The Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 instruments.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for credit losses. The Company provides an allowance for credit losses based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

 

 

 36 

 

 

Provision for credit losses expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets and compares this to the carrying amounts of the assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) to align revenue recognition more closely with the delivery of the Company’s services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer.

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

 

 

 37 

 

 

Determine the transaction price.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company satisfies performance obligations either overtime or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

 

Each of the Company’s customer contracts is deemed to have a single performance obligation. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options and other equity instruments granted to both employees and non-employees.

 

When determining fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company considers the following assumptions incorporated into the Black-Scholes model:

 

  · Exercise price,
     
  · Expected dividends,
     
  · Expected volatility,
     
  · Risk-free interest rate; and
     
  · Expected life of option

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

We consider the applicability and impact of all new accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) through the date their consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. 

 

Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions: On September 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 (ASU 2022-03), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security, including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a “contractual restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security unit of account. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value (i.e., the entity should not apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction, as stated in ASC 820-10-35-36B as amended by the ASU). The ASU also prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. For public business entities, ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2022-03, effective January 1, 2024, did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

Financial Instrument – Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. An entity may adopt ASU No. 2019-05 in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, and the adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers: In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). Under ASU 2021-08, an acquirer in a business combination must apply ASC 606 principles when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities. The provisions of ASU 2021-08 are applicable for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023, and the adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Plan of Operation

 

Mobiquity intends to hire several new sales and sales support individuals to help generate additional revenue using the Advangelists platform, our new Publisher Platform, and the Mobiquity Networks MobiExchange. Mobiquity’s sales team will focus on Advertising Agencies, Brands, and publishers to help increase both supply and demand across the Advangelists platform while providing unique data segments utilizing MobiExchange. Together the Advangelists platform and MobiExchange platform create multiple revenue streams for Mobiquity. The first is licensing the Advangelists platform as a white-label product for use by Advertising Agencies, DSP’s, Publishers, and Brands. Under the White-Label scenario, the user licenses the technology and is responsible for running its own business operations and is billed a percentage of volume run through the platform. The third revenue stream is a managed services model in which the user is billed a higher percentage of revenue run through the platform, but all services are managed by the Mobiquity/Advangelists team. The third revenue model is a seat model, where the user is billed a percentage of revenue run through the platform and business operations are shared between the user and the Mobiquity/Advangelists team. Additional revenue can be generated by offering data segments and digital audiences through MobiExchange for use in omnichannel marketing programs that include but not limited to programmatic advertising email marketing and SMS. The goal of the sales team is to inform potential users of the benefits in efficiency and effectiveness of utilizing the end-to-end, fully integrated ATOS created by Advangelists and Mobiquity Networks. New sales and support individuals are also needed to generate revenue for our new Publisher Platform. The target audiences for this platform will be website publishers, application publishers, Connected TV (CTV) publishers and Supply-Side Platform (SSP) operators.

 

Results of Operations

 

Quarter ended September 30, 2024, versus quarter ended September 30, 2023

 

The following table sets forth certain selected statements of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance.

 

   Three Months Ended 
   September 30, 2024   September 30, 2023 
Revenues  $566,044   $177,271 
Cost of revenues   230,296    114,174 
Gross profit   335,748    63,097 
Total operating expenses   1,314,839    1,458,136 
Loss from operations  $(979,091)  $(1,395,039)

 

We generated revenues of $566,044 in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $177,271 for the same period of 2023, an increase of $388,773, or 219%. The increase can be directly attributed to the uptick of political revenue in 2024. The Company has developed several new features which we believe will help grow revenue throughout the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

 

Cost of revenues was $230,296 or 41% of revenues in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $114,174 or 64% of revenues in the same fiscal period of 2023. Costs of revenues include audience building, targeting features and web services for storage of our data and web engineers who are building and maintaining our platforms. Our ability to capture and store data for sales does not translate to increased cost of revenues.

 

Gross profit was $335,748 or 59% of revenues for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $63,097 in the same period of 2023 or 36% of revenues.

 

 

 

 40 

 

 

Operating expenses were $1,314,839 in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1,458,136 in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of $143,297, or 10%. The decrease in operating costs was primarily related to a decrease in professional fees of approximately $130,000 and a decrease in licenses and permits of approximately $12,000.

 

The loss from operations for the third quarter of 2024 was $979,091 as compared to $1,395,039 for the comparable period of the prior year. Our losses from operations decreased by approximately $416,000, or 30%, driven in part by professional fees and licenses and permits as stated above, $150,000 in amortization costs and $173,000 decrease in operating expenses is related to the Company’s capitalization of net software development costs during the third quarter of 2024 related to the development of new products. These costs were primarily internal salaries for technological engineers, and external consultant costs. Similar projects were under development during the third half of 2023. The continuing operating loss is attributable to the focused effort in creating the products and services required to move forward with our business.

 

Nine Months ended September 30, 2024, versus nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

The following table sets forth certain selected statements of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance.

 

   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30, 2024   September 30, 2023 
Revenues  $1,096,218   $441,010 
Cost of revenues   625,690    281,071 
Gross profit   470,528    159,939 
Total operating expenses   3,520,726    4,421,863 
Loss from operations  $(3,050,198)  $(4,261,924)

 

We generated revenues of $1,096,218 in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $441,010 for the same period of 2023, an increase of $655,208, or 149%. The increase can be directly attributed to the uptick of political revenue in 2024. The Company has developed several new features which we believe will help grow revenue throughout the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

 

Cost of revenues was $625,690 or 57% of revenues in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to $281,071 or 64% of revenues in the same fiscal period of 2023. Costs of revenues include audience building, targeting features and web services for storage of our data and web engineers who are building and maintaining our platforms. Our ability to capture and store data for sales does not translate to increased cost of revenues.

 

Gross profit was $470,528 or 43% of revenues for the first nine months of 2024 as compared to $159,939 in the same period of 2023 or 36% of revenues.

 

Operating expenses were $3,520,726 in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $4,421,863 in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of $901,137, or 20%. The decrease in operating costs was primarily related to a decrease in professional fees of approximately $663,000, license and permits of approximately $150,000.

 

The loss from operations for the first nine months of 2024 was $3,050,198 as compared to $4,261,924 for the comparable period of the prior year. Our loss from operations decreased by approximately $1,200,000, or 28%, driven in part by amortization costs of $309,000, professional fees and licenses and permits as stated above. The decrease in operating expenses is related to the Company’s capitalization of net software development costs during the first nine months of 2024 related to the development of new products. These costs were primarily internal salaries for technological engineers, and external consultant costs. Similar projects were under development during the first nine months of 2024. The continuing operating loss is attributable to the focused effort in creating the products and services required to move forward with our business.

 

On November 12, 2024, we announced the expansion of our strategic partnership with Context Networks and the rollout of their advanced ad tech solution for casinos, seamlessly integrating digital ads into slot machines to enhance player engagement. This innovative approach not only transforms the in-casino experience but also extends advertising across mobile and CTV platforms, reconnecting with players after they leave. With plans for a broader rollout, we believe this technology is poised to set a new standard in multi-platform advertising within the gaming industry. Furthermore, management believes that the aforementioned strategic partnership will have a material impact on our results of operations in fiscal 2025 and beyond.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have a history of operating losses, and our management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Company had cash of $189,810 at September 30, 2024. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $1,798,860. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $2,918,723 offset by stock-based compensation of $1,410, amortization of intangible assets and capitalized software development costs of $206,113, increase in accounts receivable of $202,815, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $630,497, issuance of common stock and warrants for services rendered of $749,152, provision for credit losses of $92,779, amortization of debt discounts of $265,556, decrease in contract liabilities of $118,025, and an income tax benefit of $59,324. Cash used in investing activities was related to the development of new software of $1,444,396. Cash flows provided by financing activities of $2,904,794 were related to repayment of debt of $574,746 offset by net proceeds received from the sale of common stock of $2,237,000 and proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1,242,546 and the repayments on notes payable, net of issuance costs.

 

The Company had cash of $140,939 at September 30, 2023. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $3,732,469. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $5,220,014 offset by stock-based compensation of $22,295, amortization of intangible assets and capitalized software development costs of $515,364, decrease in accounts receivable of $165,331, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $626,415, loss on debt extinguishment of $396,322, amortization of debt discounts of $738,142, and an income tax benefit of $180,000. Cash used in investing activities was related to the development of new software of $1,507,045. Cash flows provided by financing activities of $5,159,599 were related to repayment of debt of $1,587,500 offset by net proceeds received from the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants of $5,735,499 and proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1,011,500, net of issuance costs.

 

Our company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our company that have been repaid. Since 1999, we have relied on equity financing and borrowings from outside investors to supplement our cash flow from operations and expect this to continue in 2024 and beyond until cash flow from our proximity marketing operations becomes substantial.

 

Debt and Equity Transactions

 

See Notes 4, 5, and 9 to the consolidated financial statements herein for a complete description of various debt and equity transactions in the periods covered by this report.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of each fiscal year and quarter. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024, due primarily to the Company’s lack of segregation of duties in the finance and accounting department similar to other companies our size.

   

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal year, which includes the integration of the new staff, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

We performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

 

Continuing Internal Controls Remediation Efforts

 

During fiscal 2022 the Company identified control gaps and deficiencies. The Company continues to mitigate and remediate the gaps, deficiencies, and material weaknesses in its internal controls. The Board of Directors and The Audit Committee, as a priority, initiated these remediation activities to ensure the Company has proper internal controls over financial reporting and corporate governance. The Company has instituted independent monitoring and testing of these aforementioned controls. These procedures were applied during fiscal 2023 and will continue in fiscal 2024, with mitigation and revision of controls continuing to be an ongoing process. Management has decided to defer the allocation of the additional talent necessary for the full implementation of the planned remediations until late fiscal 2024. The Company has instituted detective controls as well as independent monitoring and testing of these aforementioned controls, which gives management comfort that reporting represents the financial results of the Company in all material respects.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

Michael Trepeta, a former Co-CEO and director of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks in April 2023 in the New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County. The claims stem from a Separation Agreement and Release that Mr. Trepeta and the Company entered into nine years ago in April 2017 which terminated Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement and discontinued his employment and directorship with the Company, among other things, by mutual agreement. Mr. Trepeta also gave the Company a release in the Separation Agreement and Release. Mr. Trepeta has claimed that the Company fraudulently induced him to enter into the Separation Agreement and Release; that the Company breached Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement; and that the Company breached its covenant of good faith and fair dealing and its fiduciary duty. Mr. Trepeta is claiming not less than $2.5 million in damages. Based on the Company’s initial internal review of the situation, the Company believes the claims lack merit and it intends to vigorously defend the same. In December 2023, the Company was notified that its motion to dismiss Mr. Trepeta’s action was granted but Mr. Trepeta has filed a notice of appeal. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

Salkind October 2023 Loan Conversion and Series G Preferred Stock Issuance

 

Effective November 7, 2023, Mr. Gene Salkind and parties associated with him (the Series G Preferred Shareholders), invested $1,503,495 into the Company’s newly created Series G Preferred Stock, formalized through three Subscription Agreements for the sale of a combined 300,789 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for total cash proceeds of $1,200,000, plus the conversion of $300,000 in principal and $3,495 in accrued interest from the Salkind October 2023 Loan (see Note 4). Each share of the Series G Preferred Stock is convertible by the Series G Preferred Shareholders at any time after issuance into ten (10) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or $0.50 per Common Share (Series G Conversion Ratio). The Series G Preferred Stock will automatically convert at the same Series G Conversion Ratio upon the Company’s Common Stock reporting of a closing sales price over $5.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days. The Company did not pay any commissions or other compensation to any third party in connection with the transactions reported herein. Exemption from registration is claimed under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Series H Preferred Stock Issuances

 

On December 18, 2023, the Series G Preferred Shareholders agreed to exchange all 300,789 of the Series G Preferred Stock into 751,730 shares of the Company’s newly created Series H Preferred Stock. Also, our legal counsel agreed to exchange $33,000 of monies owed to the law firm for 16,500 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series H Preferred Stock is convertible at any time after issuance into ten (10) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or $0.20 per Common Share (Series H Conversion Ratio). The Series H Preferred Stock will automatically convert at the same Series H Conversion Ratio upon the Company’s Common Stock reporting of a closing sales price over $2.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days or on December 31, 2026, whichever is earlier. The Company did not pay any commissions or other compensation to any third party in connection with the transactions reported herein. Exemption from registration is claimed under section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, as discussed above.

 

Issuance of Common Stock for Settlement of Liabilities

 

In January 2024, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock at a per share price of $0.53 in full settlement of vendor liabilities outstanding at an amount equal to $53,000. In March 2024, the Company issued 18,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of outstanding vendor liabilities at an amount equal to $12,000 stock at per share prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00.

Issuance of Common Stock for Cash

 

During the first nine months of 2024, the Company raised a total of $2,237,000 in cash from various accredited investors in conjunction with common stock subscription agreements, resulting in the issuance of a total of 4,347,334 shares at per share prices ranging from $0.30 to $0.60. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company raised a total of $675,000 in cash from various accredited investors in conjunction with common stock subscription agreements, resulting in the issuance of 1,100,000 shares at per share prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00.

 

Issuance of Common Stock Warrant for Services

 

During June 2024, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an unrelated party for general business consulting services. The term of the agreement is for twelve months, commencing in June 2024. Compensation under the agreement included an upfront payment of $25,000 in cash, and the issuance of 100,000 common stock warrants, exercisable through June 2027, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The consultant also receives a monthly fee of $5,000. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was $171,800, which is being amortized, along with the upfront payment, through general and administrative expenses, straight-line, over the twelve-month service period. In September 2024, the Company amended the consulting agreement to increase the monthly cash compensation to $10,000 and to issue additional warrants to purchase a total of 150,000 shares of common stock exercisable over a three-year period. The 150,000 warrant shares consist of 100,000 exercisable at $0.50 per share and 50,000 exercisable at $1.00 per share through September 10, 2027. The new warrants issued in September 2024 were fair valued at a total of $446,200, which was recorded as prepaid assets and is being amortized through general and administrative expense straight-line over the remaining 10 months of the agreement term. Total expense recognized related to the upfront payment and issued warrants was approximately $94,000 and $110,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of New York and has the following subsidiaries:

   
Company Name   State of Incorporation
Mobiquity Networks, Inc.   New York
Advangelists, LLC   Delaware

 

Mobiquity Networks, Inc.

 

Mobiquity Networks, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., commencing operations in May 2018. Mobiquity Networks started and developed as a mobile advertising technology company focused on driving foot-traffic throughout its indoor network and has evolved and grown into a next generation data intelligence company. Mobiquity Networks, Inc. operates our data intelligence platform business.

 

Advangelists, LLC

 

Advangelists LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., acquired through a merger transaction in December 2018, and operates our ATOS platform business.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On August 7, 2023, we effected a one-for-15 reverse stock split. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split as if the split had occurred prior to the dates on the consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These 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 consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

· Net loss of $3,071,366 and
· Net cash used in operations was $1,798,860

 

Additionally, at September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

· Accumulated deficit of $220,111,705
· Stockholders’ equity of $2,124,518, and
· Working capital deficit of $2,598,410.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $189,810 at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception in 1998 and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

Without sufficient revenue from operations, if the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued, as the Company will need additional capital to meet its financial obligations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

· Execution of business plan focused on technology development and improvement,
· Seek out equity and/or debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders and investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable.
· Continuing to explore and execute prospective partnering, distribution and acquisition opportunities,
· Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (U.S. GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 8, 2024.

 

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Segments and Concentrations

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as a single reporting segment. Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Company assets and liabilities, including the allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks and the potential of overall business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and net earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s service offerings. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments at fair value, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  · Level 1—Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets that the Company can access for identical assets or liabilities;
     
  · Level 2—Valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; and
     
  · Level 3—Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management.

 

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued interest – related party, and contract liabilities. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value based on current financing rates available to the Company.

 

The Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Risk

 

For the purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to funds could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

For the quarters ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, sales of our products to four customers and three customers generated approximately 86% and 96% of our revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, sales of our products to five customers and three customers generated approximately 86% and 76% of our revenues, respectively. Our contracts with our customers generally do not obligate them to a specified term and they can generally terminate their relationship with us at any time with a minimal amount of notice. The loss of one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which significantly change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the consolidated financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral. Two of our customers combined accounted for approximately 70% of outstanding accounts receivable at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company had accounts receivable, net, of $144,664, $34,628, and $340,935 at September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, respectively.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for credit losses. The Company provides its allowance for credit losses based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible losses are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

The allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and the related activity, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is as follows:

    
Balance, December 31, 2023  $1,157,910 
Provision for credit losses   92,779 
Write-off of previously reserved account balances   (1,106,025)
Balance, September 30, 2024  $144,664 

 

Provision for credit losses expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15“Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets and compares this to the carrying amounts of the assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment was recognized by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in current results of operations.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Advangelists LLC in December 2018 over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead, it is tested for impairment at least annually. If management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a charge in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

 

The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31st of each year, or more frequently, if certain indicators are present. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (i) have discrete financial information available, (ii) engage in business activities, and (iii) whether a segment manager regularly reviews the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit associated with the acquired business based on the anticipated organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. The Company has one reporting unit as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. No impairment of goodwill was recognized by the Company during fiscal 2023 or the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Assets

 

In December 2018, the Company acquired the majority of its intangible assets through its acquisition of Advangelists LLC, which included customer relationships and the ATOS platform technology. The Company amortizes its identifiable definite-lived intangible assets over an estimated period of 5 years.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, the Company capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to its platforms. Software development activities generally consist of three stages (i) the research and planning stage, (ii) the application and development stage, and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the research and planning stage and in the post-implementation stage of software development, or other maintenance and development expenses that do not meet the qualification for capitalization, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application and development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. These costs include personnel and related employee benefits expenses for employees or consultants directly associated with and who devote time to software projects and external direct costs of materials obtained in developing the software. These software developments and acquired technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years upon the initial release of the software or additional features. The Company reviews the software development costs for impairment when circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over the fair value in its consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 for further details.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (ASC 480), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (ASC 815) Derivatives and Hedging.

 

Terms of financial instruments are reviewed to determine whether they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract under ASC 815 and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivative liabilities are remeasured to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in the results of operations. The Company generally incorporates a binomial model to determine fair value. Upon conversion of a debt instrument where an embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, the Company records the resulting shares issued at fair value, derecognizes all related debt principal, derivative liability, and debt discount, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding.

 

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts

 

Debt discounts, debt issuance costs paid to lenders or third parties, and other original issue discounts on debt, are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, over the term of the underlying debt instrument, using the effective interest method, with the unamortized portion reported net with related principal outstanding on the consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $118,262 and no interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts on debt outstanding during the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $265,556 and $738,142 in interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts on debts outstanding during the periods. Unamortized debt discounts remaining at September 30, 2024 were approximately $229,000 and are expected to be fully amortized during the remainder of 2024. See Note 4 regarding the accounting for debt discounts and debt issuance costs during fiscal 2024 and 2023.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are generated from internet advertising, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when promised services are transferred to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer.

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

  

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services (performance obligations), the Company must apply a judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Currently, the Company does not have any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations.

 

Determine the transaction price.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration of which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts outstanding at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, contained a significant financing component or variable consideration terms.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised service to a customer. Under both managed services arrangements and self-service arrangements, the Company’s promised services under the contracts include identification, bidding and purchasing of advertisement opportunities. The Company also generally has discretion in establishing the pricing of the ads. Since the Company is controlling the promise to deliver the contracted services, the Company is considered the principal in all arrangements for revenue recognition purposes. The performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue recognition primarily upon publication of customer advertising content.

 

All revenues recognized were derived from internet advertising for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, there were $77,110, $195,135, and $193,598, respectively, in contract liabilities outstanding. Contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within the year following their respective period end.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs incurred were insignificant for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation, including stock options and common stock warrants, under ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period for employee awards, which is usually the vesting period, and when the goods are obtained or services are received, for nonemployee awards. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also applies to transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is generally determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date).

 

When determining the fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

· Exercise price,
· Expected dividends,
· Expected volatility,
· Risk-free interest rate; and
· Expected life of option

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as gain or loss in the period that includes the date of the enactment.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized uncertain income tax positions, in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Open tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the filing date. Tax years subject to examination by the state jurisdiction generally remain open for up to four years from the filing date.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

 

We consider the applicability and impact of all new accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

NOTE 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of a customer relationship asset acquired through the Advangelists, LLC acquisition in 2018, and capitalized software development costs. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years. The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. These assets are also reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Common Stock Issued in Conjunction with Debt Issuance

 

On December 30, 2022, the Company and Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (the Investor), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Walleye SPA) for the Investor to purchase from the Company (i) a senior secured 20% original issue discount (OID) nine-month promissory note in an aggregate gross principal amount of $1,437,500, less the 20% OID of $287,500, for a net subscription amount of $1,150,000 (the Investor Note), and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase 174,242 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.60 per share, exercisable commencing July 1, 2023 and expiring December 30, 2027 (the Investor Warrant). Proceeds from the Agreement were received by the Company in January 2023.

 

In conjunction with the Walleye SPA, the Company issued 34,849 shares of common stock, or approximately 5.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares at that time, to the Investor as an incentive on the transaction (Incentive Shares). Excluding the above-mentioned Investor Warrant, the shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to such Investor Warrant are not being considered beneficially owned by the Investor until the Investor Warrant is exercisable within 60 days. Total issuance fees of $138,500 associated with the closing of the Walleye SPA were paid by the Company to Spartan Capital Securities LLC and the Investor’s counsel, resulting in net proceeds of $1,011,500. Approximately $163,000 of the loan proceeds were utilized to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under an SBA loan.

 

The Investor Note will only become convertible into common stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Investor Note on terms set forth in the Investor Note. This Investor Note matures and is payable on or before September 30, 2023, and it provides that the Investor may demand prepayment after March 31, 2023, and before the maturity date, provided that the purchasers of securities in a future public offering by the Company, as defined in the Walleye SPA, who hold the purchased Company securities at the time the prepayment demand, unanimously consent to the prepayment. The Company granted a security interest in all of its assets to the Investor as collateral for its obligations under the Investor Note pursuant to a Security Agreement. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Investor Note pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee and granted a first lien security interest in all their assets to the Investor as additional collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement. All securities sold in the above-described transaction contain certain piggy-back registration rights after the completion of our February 2023 Offering (see below). During the third quarter of 2023, the secured debt was paid in full through the proceeds of our June 2023 Offering.

 

The aforementioned Investor Warrant was deemed to be an equity-classified derivative instrument with a fair value of $1,526,363 at the date of closing on the Agreement, incorporating the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the Incentive Shares were deemed to have a fair value of $318,863 based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day preceding the closing of the Walleye SPA. Per accounting guidance under ASC 815, the Company recorded the fair values of the Investor Warrant and Incentive Shares based on the relative fair value allocation method, which allocates fair values as a percentage of total fair value of the debt, Investor Warrant, and Incentive Shares, in proportion to the net proceeds received under the Investor Note of $1,150,000. As a result of applying the relative fair value allocation method, the Investor Warrant was assigned a relative fair value of $586,040 and the Incentive Shares were assigned a relative fair value of $122,426, at the date of closing on the Walleye SPA. Amortization associated with the total debt discounts is being recognized using the effective interest method over the term of the Investor Note, which matured on September 30, 2023. For the period ended June 30, 2023, $377,149 in amortization on the debt discounts was recognized as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, and the remaining unamortized debt discounts of $396,322 were written off as loss on debt extinguishment upon full settlement of the Investor Note in conjunction with proceeds received from the June 2023 Offering.

 

February 2023 Offering

 

On February 13, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Spartan Capital Securities LLC (the Underwriter) relating to a public offering of 251,842 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 285,792 shares of common stock (the Shares), for net proceeds of $3,207,500 (the February 2023 Offering). In conjunction with the February 2023 Offering, which closed on February 16, 2023, the investors also received other Warrants to purchase 806,452 shares of common stock (Series 2023 Warrants) on a cash basis or up to 403,226 shares on a cashless basis. The offered Shares were priced at $6.975 per combination of one share of common stock or one pre-funded warrant, accompanied by one Series 2023 Warrant.

 

Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable at any time, until fully exercised, to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0015 per share. Each Series 2023 Warrant is exercisable for five years to purchase 0.1 share of common stock at a cash exercise price of $6.975 per warrant share. The Series 2023 Warrants contain an alternative cashless exercise provision permitting the holder to acquire 0.05 share of common stock for every 0.1 warrant share any time after the earlier of (i) 30 days following the initial exercise date of February 14, 2023, and (ii) the date on which the aggregate trading volume of the Company’s common stock, beginning on the initial exercise date of the Series 2023 Warrants, exceeds 2,419,355 shares. Additionally, the exercise price of both the pre-funded warrants and the Series 2023 Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriter agreement, and as partial consideration to the Underwriter, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 26,882 shares of common stock, exercisable from February 14, 2023, through February 14, 2028, at an initial exercise price of $7.6725 per share. This warrant was cancelled by the underwriter on or about June 30, 2023, in connection with the completion of the June 2023 Offering described below. The Company also granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 80,645 shares and/or pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares and accompanying Series 2023 Warrants to purchase 120,968 shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any. No additional shares or pre-funded warrants were purchased by the Underwriter. The Company paid a cash fee to the Underwriter equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised in February 2023 Offering, plus a reimbursement of Underwriter fees totaling $242,500.

 

Between the closing of February 2023 Offering and June 30, 2023, investors holding pre-funded warrants converted all their pre-funded warrants into 285,792 shares of common stock and elected the alternative cashless exercise provision for the Series 2023 Warrants, resulting in the issuance of 403,226 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2023, all the aforementioned pre-funded warrants and 2023 Warrants were exercised.

STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS

NOTE 6 – STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS

 

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the 2005 Plan) for the granting of up to 334 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 667 shares. During Fiscal 2009, the Company established a plan of long-term stock-based compensation incentives for selected Eligible Participants of the Company covering 667 shares. This plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in October 2009 (the 2009 Plan). In September 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares covered by the 2009 Plan to 1,667 shares. In the first quarter of 2016, the Board approved, and stockholders ratified a 2016 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan covering 1,667 shares (the 2016 Plan) and approved moving all options which exceeded the 2009 Plan limits to the 2016 Plan. In December 2018, the Board of Directors adopted and in February 2019 the stockholders ratified the 2018 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan covering 5,000 shares (the 2018 Plan). On April 2, 2019, the Board approved the 2019 Plan identical to the 2018 Plan, except that the 2019 Plan covers 10,000 shares. The 2019 Plan required stockholder approval by April 2, 2020, to be able to grant incentive stock options under the 2019 Plan. On October 13, 2021, the Board approved the 2021 Plan identical to the 2018 Plan, except that the 2021 Plan covers 73,334 shares. The 2021 Plan required stockholder approval by October 13, 2022, to be able to grant incentive stock options under the 2021 Plan. On April 17, 2023, the Board approved an Equity Participation Plan similar to the Plans described herein, except that this Plan also provides for the grant of Restricted Unit Awards (the 2023 EP Plan). Under the 2023 EP Plan, which was approved by stockholders on May 15, 2023, a maximum of 166,667 shares may be granted under the 2023 EP Plan. On December 19, 2023, the Board approved the 2023 Plan identical to the 2018 Plan, except that the 2023 Plan covers 2,000,000 shares. The 2005 Plan, 2009 Plan, 2016 Plan, 2018 Plan, 2019 Plan, 2021 Plan, the 2023 EP Plan, and 2023 Plan are collectively referred to as the “Plans.”

 

In April of 2022 and April 2023, Dean Julia was granted 833 options each year from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $23.25 and $3.30 and expiration of April 2031 and April 2032, respectively.

 

In March and April 2023, Nate Knight and Byron Booker, respectively, were each granted 1,667 options from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $3.30, and expiration of March 2028 and April 2028, respectively.

 

On December 19, 2023, the board approved, under the 2023 Plan, granting five-year Non-Statutory Stock Options to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common stock, immediately exercisable at $0.20 per share to various officers, directors, employees and consultants. Exemption from registration is claimed under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In April 2024, Dean Julia was granted 833 options from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $0.50 and expiration of April 2033.

 

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation.

 

The weighted average assumptions made by calculating the fair values of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are as follows:

        
   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2024   2023

Options exercisable, September 30, 2024   1,873,013   $7.56    4.31   $4,123,658 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable on September 30, 2024, is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company’s common stock for the shares that had exercise prices lower than the $2.49 closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $1,410 and $22,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there is $464 in unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards to be recognized during fiscal 2024 and 2025, respectively.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.

  

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are as follows:

        
   September 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Stock options   1,873,014    1,876,275 
Warrants   903,357    653,358

Series E preferred stock   10,281    10,281 
Series H preferred stock       7,684,730 
Total common stock equivalents   2,996,177    10,434,169

Litigation

 

Michael Trepeta, a former Co-CEO and director of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks in April 2023 in the New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County. The claims stem from a Separation Agreement and Release that Mr. Trepeta and the Company entered into nine years ago in April 2017 which terminated Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement and discontinued his employment and directorship with the Company, among other things, by mutual agreement. Mr. Trepeta also gave the Company a release in the Separation Agreement and Release. Mr. Trepeta has claimed that the Company fraudulently induced him to enter into the Separation Agreement and Release; that the Company breached Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement; and that the Company breached its covenant of good faith and fair dealing and its fiduciary duty. Mr. Trepeta is claiming not less than $2.5 Million in damages. Based on the Company’s initial internal review of the situation, the Company believes the claims lack merit and it intends to vigorously defend same. In December 2023, the Company was notified that its motion to dismiss Mr. Trepeta’ s action was granted but Mr. Trepeta has filed a notice of appeal. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (U.S. GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 8, 2024.

 

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Segments and Concentrations

Business Segments and Concentrations

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as a single reporting segment. Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Company assets and liabilities, including the allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks and the potential of overall business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and net earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s service offerings. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments at fair value, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  · Level 1—Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets that the Company can access for identical assets or liabilities;
     
  · Level 2—Valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; and
     
  · Level 3—Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management.

 

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued interest – related party, and contract liabilities. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value based on current financing rates available to the Company.

 

The Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Risk

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Risk

 

For the purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to funds could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

For the quarters ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, sales of our products to four customers and three customers generated approximately 86% and 96% of our revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, sales of our products to five customers and three customers generated approximately 86% and 76% of our revenues, respectively. Our contracts with our customers generally do not obligate them to a specified term and they can generally terminate their relationship with us at any time with a minimal amount of notice. The loss of one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which significantly change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the consolidated financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral. Two of our customers combined accounted for approximately 70% of outstanding accounts receivable at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company had accounts receivable, net, of $144,664, $34,628, and $340,935 at September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, respectively.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for credit losses. The Company provides its allowance for credit losses based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible losses are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

The allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and the related activity, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is as follows:

    
Balance, December 31, 2023  $1,157,910 
Provision for credit losses   92,779 
Write-off of previously reserved account balances   (1,106,025)
Balance, September 30, 2024  $144,664 

 

Provision for credit losses expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15“Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets and compares this to the carrying amounts of the assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment was recognized by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in current results of operations.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Advangelists LLC in December 2018 over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead, it is tested for impairment at least annually. If management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a charge in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

 

The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31st of each year, or more frequently, if certain indicators are present. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (i) have discrete financial information available, (ii) engage in business activities, and (iii) whether a segment manager regularly reviews the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit associated with the acquired business based on the anticipated organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. The Company has one reporting unit as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. No impairment of goodwill was recognized by the Company during fiscal 2023 or the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

 

In December 2018, the Company acquired the majority of its intangible assets through its acquisition of Advangelists LLC, which included customer relationships and the ATOS platform technology. The Company amortizes its identifiable definite-lived intangible assets over an estimated period of 5 years.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, the Company capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to its platforms. Software development activities generally consist of three stages (i) the research and planning stage, (ii) the application and development stage, and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the research and planning stage and in the post-implementation stage of software development, or other maintenance and development expenses that do not meet the qualification for capitalization, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application and development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. These costs include personnel and related employee benefits expenses for employees or consultants directly associated with and who devote time to software projects and external direct costs of materials obtained in developing the software. These software developments and acquired technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years upon the initial release of the software or additional features. The Company reviews the software development costs for impairment when circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over the fair value in its consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 for further details.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (ASC 480), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (ASC 815) Derivatives and Hedging.

 

Terms of financial instruments are reviewed to determine whether they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract under ASC 815 and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivative liabilities are remeasured to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in the results of operations. The Company generally incorporates a binomial model to determine fair value. Upon conversion of a debt instrument where an embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, the Company records the resulting shares issued at fair value, derecognizes all related debt principal, derivative liability, and debt discount, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no derivative instruments outstanding.

 

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts

 

Debt discounts, debt issuance costs paid to lenders or third parties, and other original issue discounts on debt, are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, over the term of the underlying debt instrument, using the effective interest method, with the unamortized portion reported net with related principal outstanding on the consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $118,262 and no interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts on debt outstanding during the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $265,556 and $738,142 in interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts on debts outstanding during the periods. Unamortized debt discounts remaining at September 30, 2024 were approximately $229,000 and are expected to be fully amortized during the remainder of 2024. See Note 4 regarding the accounting for debt discounts and debt issuance costs during fiscal 2024 and 2023.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are generated from internet advertising, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when promised services are transferred to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customer.

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

  

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services (performance obligations), the Company must apply a judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Currently, the Company does not have any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations.

 

Determine the transaction price.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration of which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts outstanding at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, contained a significant financing component or variable consideration terms.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised service to a customer. Under both managed services arrangements and self-service arrangements, the Company’s promised services under the contracts include identification, bidding and purchasing of advertisement opportunities. The Company also generally has discretion in establishing the pricing of the ads. Since the Company is controlling the promise to deliver the contracted services, the Company is considered the principal in all arrangements for revenue recognition purposes. The performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue recognition primarily upon publication of customer advertising content.

 

All revenues recognized were derived from internet advertising for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, there were $77,110, $195,135, and $193,598, respectively, in contract liabilities outstanding. Contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within the year following their respective period end.

 

Advertising

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs incurred were insignificant for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

  

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation, including stock options and common stock warrants, under ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period for employee awards, which is usually the vesting period, and when the goods are obtained or services are received, for nonemployee awards. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also applies to transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is generally determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date).

 

When determining the fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

· Exercise price,
· Expected dividends,
· Expected volatility,
· Risk-free interest rate; and
· Expected life of option

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as gain or loss in the period that includes the date of the enactment.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized uncertain income tax positions, in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Open tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the filing date. Tax years subject to examination by the state jurisdiction generally remain open for up to four years from the filing date.

 

Related Parties

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

 

We consider the applicability and impact of all new accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
