VADO CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Organization and Business

 

Our History

 

In 2013 co-founders Reeve Benaron and Jason Wulfsohn formed Socialcom Inc (“Socialcom”) by bringing together three businesses they held: a creative agency, a digital performance agency, and a demand side platform (DSP) or programmatic media-buying platform. The core areas of expertise represented by each of these companies - creative and brand building, performance marketing and ad tech - still defines Socialcom’s unique competitive advantage today, as it continues to lean into full-funnel and omnichannel performance solutions for independent agencies and brands. During the last 10 years Socialcom has experienced significant achievements in terms of growth, market relevance, and product innovation, evidenced by an array of prestigious industry awards, including being named one of the fastest-growing companies in America by Deloitte, The Financial Times and the Los Angeles Business Journal, as well ranking on the Inc. 5000 list for four consecutive years, starting in 2019 and most recently in 2022. In 2021 Socialcom was an AdExchanger finalist for Best Programmatic Capabilities, a W3 Silver Award winner for best integrated campaign and in 2022 Socialcom VP of Partnership Solutions, Danielle Gale, was honored by Cynoposis as one of the Top Women in Media. Socialcom is the operating subsidiary of Vado Corp (the “Company,” “Vado,” “we,” “our” and “us”), which we acquired in the share exchange described below. Since 2023 the Company has been focused on developing powerful data science and predictive analytics solutions, through AXi, it’s proprietary suite of audience intelligence tools, that can help deliver significantly improved performance outcomes for their brand and agency clients, driving differentiation for their tech stack and competitive advantage for their clients.

 

Share Exchange

 

On February 24, 2023 the Company completed the share exchange (the “Exchange”) contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) dated January 30, 2023 with Socialcom and the stockholders of Socialcom signatory thereto (the “Closing”). Pursuant to the Closing of the Exchange, the Company issued the Socialcom stockholders signatory thereto a total of 169,434,640 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 96% of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to such issuance, in exchange for all of the shares of Socialcom common stock held by such Socialcom stockholders. As a result of the Closing of the Exchange, Socialcom became an approximately 96.6% owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In connection with the Exchange, the Company also agreed to the following: (i) the cancellation of 93 million shares of common stock held by David Lelong, a director of the Company who at that time was also the Company’s sole officer, which cancellation was effected at the Closing, (ii) the issuance 22,793,540 options to purchase common stock of the Company to Socialcom directors, officers, employees and consultants under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan in exchange for the cancellation of 2,604,976 outstanding Socialcom stock options held by such persons, and (iii) execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) for a financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $1,500,000 (the “Secondary Financing”). The first tranche of the Secondary Financing, in which the Company sold 25,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) for $750,000, closed simultaneously with the Closing of the Exchange. The second tranche of the Secondary Financing in which the Company sold an additional 25,000 shares of Series A for an additional $750,000 closed on May 25, 2023.

 

Effective at the Closing, the number of directors of the Company was fixed at three, and Jason Wulfsohn and Reeve Benaron were appointed to serve on the Board of Directors. Effective upon the Closing, David Lelong tendered his resignation as the sole officer of the Company, and Jason Wulfsohn was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Lelong remains as a director.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Socialcom and Vado Corp. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $1,052,545 at June 30, 2024, including $1,052,519 restricted cash; and $133,182 at December 31, 2023.  There were no cash equivalents in either period.

 

Restricted Cash and Restricted Investment

 

On December 31, 2023, the Company had a restricted investment of $1,029,256 in the form of a United States Treasury Bill which matured on May 16, 2024. Upon maturity, this amount, including interest, was classified to Restricted Cash, and the amount of $1,052,519 is classified as Restricted Cash on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2024 See notes 4, 14, and 18.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:

 

   

Years

 

Office equipment

  3 to 5  

Furniture & fixtures

  3 to 7  

Leasehold improvements

 

Term of lease

 

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles including goodwill for impairment on an annual basis utilizing the guidance set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the net carrying value of intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet was $77,661 and $110,425, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and other accounts, the balances of which at times may be uninsured or exceed federally insured limits. From time to time, some of the Company’s funds are also held by escrow agents; these funds may not be federally insured. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. Total recognized advertising and marketing expenses were $81,068 and $78,203 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825 - Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

 

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to the development of the Company’s platform solution. These costs include third party development expenses for that are directly associated with and devote time to software development projects. Software development costs that do not qualify for capitalization, as further discussed below, are expensed as incurred and recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company’s customers do not take possession of the software and cannot run the software on their own hardware. For these reasons, pursuant to ASC 985-20 Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed (“ASC 982-20”), the software is considered a software hosting arrangement and the Company applied the guidance of ASC 350-40 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Internal Use Software” (“ASC 350-40"). Pursuant to ASC 350-40, software development activities typically consist of three stages: (1) the planning phase; (2) the application and infrastructure development stage; and (3) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and post implementation phases, including costs associated with the post-configuration training and repairs and maintenance of the developed technologies, are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs associated with software developed when the preliminary project stage is completed, management implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development phases, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalization ends once a project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Software development costs are amortized using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use. The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leasing arrangements by applying the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company enters into operating leases for its office space. The Company does not have finance leases.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, or term, in exchange for consideration, and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the aforementioned right.

 

Operating lease assets and liabilities are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which includes the minimum unconditional term of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such options will be exercised. As the rate implicit for each of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of its expected lease payments. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components.

 

 

Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating lease expense over the lease term on the consolidated statements of operations. The related amortization, along with the change in the operating lease liabilities, are separately presented within the cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company records lease expense for operating leases, some of which have escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Certain leases contain provisions for property-related costs that are variable in nature for which the Company is responsible, including common area maintenance and other property operating services. These costs are calculated based on a variety of factors including property values, tax and utility rates, property services fees and other factors.

 

Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue by providing marketers and advertising agencies with the ability to deliver digital marketing and marketing-related solutions. The Company’s primary business is to deliver omnichannel programmatic, paid search, and paid social advertising services for its customers. The Company also does a limited amount of marketing-related project work for customers, including creative services, and also has a reseller solution with a partner. This results in the following revenue streams:

 

 

Programmatic Solutions

 

 

 

 

Paid Search & Social Solutions

 

 

 

 

Services Revenue

 

 

 

 

Self-Serve Revenue

 

The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

 

 

Identification of a contract with a customer;

 

 

 

 

Identification of the performance obligation in the contract;

 

 

 

 

Determination of the transaction price;

 

 

 

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

 

 

 

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or a net basis is based upon an assessment of whether we are acting as the principal or agent in the transaction based upon the guidance in ASC 606. Making such determinations involves judgment and is based on an evaluation of the terms of each arrangement, none of which are considered presumptive or determinative. We act as a principal and recognize revenue on a gross basis if (i) we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our clients; (ii) we bear sole responsibility for fulfillment of the advertising promise and inventory risks and (iii) we have full discretion in establishing prices. We applied the guidance of ASC 606 to our revenue streams as follows:

 

Programmatic Solutions: Programmatic revenue consists of delivering our customer’s budget programmatically through our trading desk model, where multiple Demand Side Platforms (“DSP”) are utilized to deliver advertising budgets as paid impressions. The Company, through its deep understanding of DSP platforms, transacts to spend customer’s budgets within the platforms to execute against customer marketing goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. In this arrangement, our team will perform all of the setup, activation, strategy, tactic building, implementation and delivery of the campaign through a partner platform or platforms. We enter into an Insertion Order / Media Plan (“IO”) with all Programmatic customers. The IO states the services that are to be performed and a budget for each tactic or tactics. We bill our customers for a percentage of the total spend, and recognize revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. Because we are in control of this process and assume inventory risk, we recognize revenue on a gross basis.

 

Paid Search & Social Solutions: We also enter into an IO with all Paid Search & Social customers. The IO states the services that are to be performed and a budget for each tactic. We bill our customers for a percentage of the total spend, and recognize revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. In instances where we pay the third party for inventory, we recognize revenue on a gross basis because we bear the inventory risk. In instances where the customer pays the third party, we recognize revenue on a net basis.

 

 

Services Revenue: We enter into Statement of Work (“SOW”) agreements with all Services customers. The SOW includes estimated costs to be applied against the services to be performed, and establishes payment and billing terms. Services revenue is recognized on a gross basis.

 

Self-Serve Revenue: Self-serve revenue consists of revenues generated through our Admatx platform, as well as through reselling access to a major enterprise DSP. Users of Admatx agree to our platform terms and conditions, and we enter into Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) with all reseller customers. The Platform Terms and Conditions and MSAs detail the work and responsibilities of each party and their respective obligations. Self-serve revenue is recognized on a net basis.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Certain customer arrangements in the Company's business result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance.

 

The following table represents the changes in deferred revenue as reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

 

Balance acquired as of December 31, 2023

    191,766  

Cash payments received

    1,563,998  

Net sales recognized

    (823,125 )

Balance as of June 30, 2024

  $ 932,639  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings or Loss Per Share

 

Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options to purchase common stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had the following potentially dilutive instruments outstanding: a total of 20,296,798 and 21,684,635 shares, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

 

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculations. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 20,296,798 and 21,684,635 stock options, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of fully-diluted shares outstanding.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company management may consult its legal counsel to evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims brought to such legal counsel’s attention as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, as well as amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard was effective for us on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

3. Transfer of Customers and Employees

 

On March 15, 2024, Socialcom Inc, a subsidiary of Vado Corp. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement for Transfer of Customers and Employees (the “Agreement”) with a third party (the “Counterparty”).

In January 2021 the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $475,000 in connection with the acquisition of the BigBuzz Customer Lists, which consisted of a three-year employment agreement for each of the two founders of BigBuzz. As this was an acquisition of only certain assets consisting of customer contracts and customer lists (see note 8), no other assets were acquired that would give rise to acquisition related liabilities; there were no requirements to hire any other employees as part of the asset acquisition. The Company paid $25,000 of this amount on February 2, 2021; the remainder is payable at the rate of $12,500 per month through January 31, 2024.

16. Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If a carryforward exists, the Company decides as to whether the carryforward will be utilized in the future. Currently, a valuation allowance is established for all deferred tax assets and carryforwards as their recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. If the Company’s expectations for future operating results at the federal or at the state jurisdiction level vary from actual results due to changes in healthcare regulations, general economic conditions, or other factors, it may need to adjust the valuation allowance, for all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company’s income tax expense in future periods will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases, respectively, in the Company’s valuation allowance in the period when the change in circumstances occurs. These changes could have a significant impact on the Company’s future earnings.

 

Income tax expense was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The annual forecasted effective income tax rate for 2023 is 0%. The Company has no net operating loss carryforward due to the change of control inherent in the Exchange Agreement (see note 1). The Company has no uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

17. Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had restricted cash of $1,052,519 and unrestricted cash on hand of $26 net of an overdraft in the amount of $5,013, and a working capital deficit of $10,383,599. Management believes this amount is not sufficient to meet our operating needs for the 12 months subsequent to the date of this filing. In order to meet our working capital requirements, we will need to either raise sufficient capital and/or increase revenue by executing against our various ongoing strategic growth initiatives while continuing to actively reduce, maintain, or manage our current expenditures. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve cash flow and the ability to obtain additional financing, including debt and equity offerings. These and other listed factors cause substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

18. Commitments and Contingencies

 

In June 2019, a former services provider of the Company filed a complaint in the amount of $1,442,441 for amounts due. The Company countersued for breach of agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued an additional $894,274 pursuant to this dispute as a result a claim for an additional liability and a judgment for court costs against the Company. The Company plans to appeal this judgement which the Company believes is unlawful. The Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $2,476,926 on the balance sheet at June 30, 2024 in connection with this complaint. The Company has restricted cash in the amount of $1,052,519 at June 30, 2024 for purposes of funding a surety bond in connection with this complaint. See note 14.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business, and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.

Important factors, uncertainties and risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include the future impact of the geopolitical conflicts in Israel and Ukraine, inflation and Federal Reserve interest rate increases in response thereto on the economy including the potential for a recession, downturn in economic activity and the capital markets and a resulting reduction in demand for our offerings, declines in expenditures for digital marketing campaigns and a trend towards in-housing those functions, our limited operating history and revenue, our ability to effectively navigate challenges posed by the complex industries we serve including the potential for rapid and unpredictable technological change, regulatory burdens and an intense competitive environment, and the delay in the launch of our Regulation A offering and any inability to raise sufficient capital therefrom. Further information on the risk factors affecting our business is contained in “Risk Factors” of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as may be amended or supplemented from time-to-time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Background of the Company

 

Vado, through Socialcom, operates as a digital marketing and services company focused on delivering integrated advertising and technology performance solutions to independent agencies and brands through its omnichannel trading desk platform.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired BigBuzz Marketing Group, a New York based creative digital marketing agency to expand its creative-based product and services offerings, including a focus on organic social content.

 

In response to a decline in customer ad purchasing which began in 2022, management has taken steps to (i) improve the employee experience and in turn improve employee retention; and (ii) enhance our product offerings and strengthen our core solutions to the middle market. More specifically, in order to drive increased customer acquisition, the Company is focused on improved market differentiation related to product development and innovation in the key three areas of: (i) predictive analytics, (ii) supply optimization, and (iii) creative automation. In 2023 we developed an industry leading, data-driven addition to our tech stack, successfully incorporating several layers of artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and automation in the application of data science, audience insights and tech-powered creative, an integrated and holistic system designed to optimize performance in real time for our brand and agency customers. We have successfully taken our new AI-powered data science solutions to market through various ongoing sales and marketing activities and are currently activating campaigns and delivering impact for both existing and new customers.

 

In addition, in March 2024 we obtained 11 customer accounts and 14 employees from a very large company, which includes over $4 million in prepaid amounts (and thereby potential additional revenue), in addition to the continued good will, subject to our provision of services to the new customers and to that party’s right to offset for personnel expenses.

 

Moving forward, we are actively assessing the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape to identify potential acquisition targets, whether creative, media or technology companies, with stable customers and revenues, that can drive improved business outcomes through integrated access to the Socialcom media services solution.

 

 

Trends and Uncertainties

 

Our operations and industry are subject to the following trends and uncertainties:

 

Seasonality

 

In the advertising industry, companies commonly experience seasonal fluctuations in revenue. For example, some advertisers may allocate the largest portion of their budgets to the fourth quarter of the calendar year in order to coincide with increased holiday purchasing. Historically, the fourth quarter of the year reflects our highest level of advertising activity and the first quarter reflects the lowest level of such activity. We expect our revenue to continue to fluctuate based on seasonal factors that affect the advertising industry as a whole.

 

Developments in the Programmatic Advertising Market

 

Our operating results and prospects will be impacted by the overall adoption of programmatic advertising by inventory owners and content providers, as well as advertisers and the agencies and service providers that represent them. Programmatic advertising has grown rapidly in recent years, and any acceleration or slowing of this growth may affect our operating and financial performance. In addition, even if the programmatic advertising market continues to grow at its current rate, our ability to position ourselves within the market will impact the future growth of our business.

 

In addition, technological and other changes and developments in the digital ad space will also affect our operations and operating results. For example, many websites including Google are expected to update or alter their privacy settings and practices in the coming years, including by eliminating “cookies” and the collection of personal identifiable information about users, for which we and our industry will need to adjust in order to maintain and grow our operations.

 

Growth in and Retention of Customers

 

Our ability to generate and maintain revenue depends on retaining our existing customers and adding new customers. Our customers consist of small-to-medium sized businesses, with spending patterns that can be inconsistent or unpredictable. We also depend on a relatively small number of customers for a large proportion of our revenue streams. As a result, future revenue and growth depends upon our ability to retain our existing customers and to gain a larger amount of their advertising spend through our platform and related services.

 

Labor Shortages

 

Because of our focus on digital advertisements and the underlying technology and infrastructure involved in those processes, as well as providing a wide variety of businesses with their digital marketing needs, our operations depend on procuring, training and maintaining skilled personnel to assist us and our customers in fulfilling these demands. In recent periods, macroeconomic factors have contributed to labor shortages in the U.S. across industries. As a result of this and other factors, in fiscal year 2022 the loss of certain personnel, including members of our sales and customer support team, adversely impacted our operating results in that period. If the tightened labor market trend continues in general or for our business in particular, this trend could persist. In fiscal year 2023, we made significant strides in optimizing our operations, which not only reduced our operating expenses but also strategically positioned us for sustained incremental growth in the upcoming year. Through a combination of streamlining initiatives and technological advancements, we have enhanced our efficiency and productivity across all departments. Our team is now more agile, our cost structure more efficient, and our business model has been refined to capitalize on emerging opportunities in digital advertising and marketing services. We are confident that the measures taken to strengthen our workforce and operational practices will continue to yield beneficial results and drive growth in fiscal year 2024.

 

Omnichannel Access

 

Because we assist in the selection and purchase of advertising inventory across a wide variety of formats for our customers, such as display, mobile, video, audio, social and native, our future growth will depend on our ability to maintain and grow the inventory of, and customer spend on, advertising channels. For instance, as we proceed further into the digital age, new channels can arise rapidly and gain popularity within relatively short periods, diverting attention from existing channels and forcing stakeholders in the industry, including us, to adapt quickly. Further, each channel we now or may in the future access to service our customers has its own policies in terms of content and use, and we must continually monitor and adhere to these requirements to continue to access those channels for our customers. We believe that our ability to integrate and offer access to new means of digital communication, such as Connected Television (CTV), digital out-of-home (DOOH), and digital radio advertising inventory and to manage the increased costs that will accompany these developments, will impact the operating results and future growth of our business.

 

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Revenue

 

Revenue was $7,372,393 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3,592,083 or 95.0% compared to revenue of $3,780,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. In addition to the ongoing organic growth, the primary reason for the increase was the Agreement for Transfer of Customers and Employees (the “Agreement”) entered into on March 15, 2024 which resulted in onboarding sales of $3,314,458 during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Costs of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue was $6,018,725 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3,301,106 or 121.5% compared to $2,717,619 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by costs associated with revenue onboarded pursuant to the Agreement, which were $2,804,893 during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Our gross profit margins were 18% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 28% during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in lower margin revenue, in part linked to the Agreement for Transfer of Customers and Employees (the “Agreement”) entered into on March 15, 2024.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $2,591,892 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $289,190 or 12.6%, compared to $2,302,702 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by costs associated with the onboarding of personnel and certain other costs  arising from the Agreement, which were $756,625 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. See Note 3 in the financial statements contained in this report.

 

Cost of Legal Settlement

Interest expense, net of interest income was $520,800 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $270,548 or 108.1%, compared to interest expense of $250,252 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by the amortization of the discount on the Decathlon loan and to increased principal balances under our notes payable.

 

Interest Income, Restricted Investment

 

Interest income, restricted investment $9,347 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. There were no comparable transactions in the prior period. The increase is due to the cash held in connection with a vendor dispute.

 

 

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Revenue

 

Revenue was $10,950,565 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3,635,016 or 49.7% compared to revenue of $7,315,549 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition to ongoing organic growth, the primary reason for the increase was the Agreement for Transfer of Customers which resulted in onboarding sales of $4,322,943 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. See Note 3 in the financial statements contained in this report. 

 

Costs of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue was $9,149,027 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4,091,687 or 80.9% compared to $5,057,340 during the six months ended June, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by costs associated with revenue from customers onboarded pursuant to the Agreement, which were $3,636,428 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. See Note 3 in the financial statements contained in this report.

 

Our gross profit margins were 17% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 31% during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in lower margin revenue, in part linked to the Agreement for Transfer of Customers and Employees (the “Agreement”) entered into on March 15, 2024.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $4,367,126 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $492,065 or 10.1%, compared to $4,859,191 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. SG&A expenses increased during the period by $887,047 due to the costs associated with the Agreement. The overall decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in headcount related expenses and stock-based compensation expenses during the period.

 

Cost of Legal Settlement

 

Legal settlement expense was $894,274 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in the amount of liability claimed by a vendor in a legal dispute and to court costs. There was no comparable transaction during the current period.

Interest expense, net of interest income was $1,225,137 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $809,508 or 181.7%, compared to interest expense of $445,629 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by the amortization of the discount on the Decathlon loan and to increased principal balances under our notes payable.

 

Interest Income, Restricted Investment

 

Interest income, restricted investment $22,509 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no comparable transactions in the prior period. The increase is due to the cash held in connection with a vendor dispute.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth or decline in operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers and related payments to suppliers for advertising media and data. Cash flows from operating activities are typically affected by changes in the components of working capital, particularly changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Timing differences from cash receipts from customers and payments to suppliers have a significant impact on our cash flows from operating activities. We often pay suppliers in advance of collections from our customers. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period, and we additionally expect seasonality to impact cash flows from operating activities on a quarterly basis during the year.

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities of ($897,056) resulted primarily from a net loss of ($3,798,216) adjusted for non-cash items totaling $1,011,865 and a net decrease of $2,630,888 resulting from changes in the components of working capital. The $1,011,865 in non-cash adjustments to net income are attributable to primarily to charges of $1,036,731 in connection with a minimum interest liability on the Decathlon Loan; $49,439 of depreciation and amortization; and $25,780 related to employee stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $80,341 reduction in bad debt expense and $19,744 of interest income on restricted investment. The change in the components of working capital of $2,634,407 was due primarily to a $1,877,446 increase in accounts payable, $1,049,000 from the reclassification of restricted investment to restricted cash, and a $740,873 increase in deferred revenue, with the remaining change attributable to normal operational fluctuations in current assets and current liabilities.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities of ($2,134,676) resulted primarily from a net loss of ($3,940,885) adjusted for non-cash items totaling $1,010,286 and a net increase of $787,591 in the components of working capital. The $1,010,286 in non-cash adjustments to net income are attributable to charges of $408,910 related to employee stock-based compensation, $286,543 for amortization of our office lease, $112,992 for depreciation and amortization, $93,882 for bad debt expense, $110,248 for amortization of discount on convertible note payable, and ($2,289) for amortization of discount on investment. The change in the components of working capital of $787,591 was due primarily to a $769,274 change in accrued settlement expense with the remaining change attributable to normal operational fluctuations in current assets and current liabilities.

 

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

 

Our primary investing activities consist primarily of the purchase of fixed assets and costs paid for the development of software to improve our platform. As our business grows, we expect our capital expenditures and our investment activity to continue to increase.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used $11,441 of cash in investing activities, consisting of $7,189 invested in capitalized software and $4,252to purchase fixed assets.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $1,024,065 of cash in investing activities, consisting of $1,000,786 to purchase securities in connection with the legal dispute, $18,300 invested in capitalized software, and $4,979 to purchase fixed assets.

 

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

 

Our financing activities consisted primarily of the sale of common and preferred stock, borrowings and repayments of our debt, proceeds from forgiveness on borrowings, proceeds from the exercise of options issued under our equity compensation plan.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities of $33,748 was due to $200,000 in proceeds from convertible notes payable to related parties and $96,000 in proceeds from the issuance of notes payable to related parties, partially offset by $262,252 in principal payments on loans.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities of $4,076,442 was due to $2,100,000 in proceeds from the issuance of notes payable to related parties; $1,500,000 in proceeds from the sale of Series A Preferred stock; and $500,000 in proceeds from the sale of common stock, partially offset by $23,558 in principle payments on loans.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before (a) certain stock-based compensation expense, (b) costs attributable to non-recurring settlement expense, legal activity, professional fees, and other transaction and offering costs, (c) interest, (d) tax, and (e) depreciation and amortization. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of our core business operations. We believe that information about Adjusted EBITDA assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, this measure may vary among other companies; thus, Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

 

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of August 11, 2024, we have a net unrestricted cash of $56,119. Management believes we do not have sufficient working capital to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months. In order to meet our working capital requirements, we will need to either raise sufficient capital or reduce our expenditures. We will rely on our ability to improve operating cash flow or raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities and draw on our existing credit facility, in addition to our existing cash and cash equivalents to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve cash flow and the ability to obtain additional financing, including potentially through proceeds raised from its Regulation A offering. These and other factors substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the following 12-month period.

 

Our recent and potential future financing transactions, outstanding indebtedness and other developments which will potentially impact our liquidity are summarized below.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an increase in the minimum interest liability due on our Decathlon Loan in the amount of $900,000, and during the three months ended June 30, 2024, this amount was increased by an additional $150,000.

 

 

Financing Agreements

 

On June 13, 2019, Socialcom entered into an accounts receivable financing and security agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with SLR Digital Finance, LLC as the secured lender which was amended on September 18, 2023, January 31, 2024 and April 1, 2024. The Financing Agreement as amended has a current maximum amount of $2,000,000 and an interest rate per annum equal to 5% plus the “prime rate”, which is defined as the higher of the highest rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal or 8.5%. The Financing Agreement provided for an initial financing fee equal to 1/12th of the facility interest rate and additional monthly financing fees of 1/12th of the facility interest rate. The Financing Agreement is subject to an early termination fee equal to 2% of the maximum amount available under the Financing Agreement. Further, the Financing Agreement provides that Socialcom shall at all times use at least 20% of the maximum amount. The revolving credit facility under the Financing Agreement is secured by the trade accounts receivable of Socialcom and guaranteed by its assets and the assets of Vado, including the Socialcom common stock Vado holds representing 100% of the outstanding Socialcom common stock. Upon any event of default, the lender may, among other things, immediately demand repayment of all advanced amounts thereunder. The Financing Agreement provides, among other things, that the lender can immediately terminate the Financing Agreement and demand payment. In addition, Jason Wulfsohn, our Chief Executive Officer and a principal stockholder, guaranteed the loan and pledged his shares of Vado common stock to secure payment.

 

On December 31, 2019, Socialcom borrowed $3,000,000 (the “Decathlon Loan”). The Decathlon Loan is due December 13, 2024 and is secured by all the assets of Socialcom. The Decathlon Loan accrues interest at a variable rate based upon internal rate of return targets, which interest multiple is subject to increase by 0.015 upon an event of default. The effective rate of interest for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 17%. Repayments are required based upon a fixed percentage of our earned revenue. If not repaid prior the final balance is due on December 13, 2024. The Decathlon Loan is subject to minimum interest that escalates over the term of the loan. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the potential liability for unearned minimum interest was $116,837 and $886,733, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made principal and interest payments in the amount $262,252 on the Decathlon loan.

1. Organization and Business

 

Our History

 

In 2013 co-founders Reeve Benaron and Jason Wulfsohn formed Socialcom Inc (“Socialcom”) by bringing together three businesses they held: a creative agency, a digital performance agency, and a demand side platform (DSP) or programmatic media-buying platform. The core areas of expertise represented by each of these companies - creative and brand building, performance marketing and ad tech - still defines Socialcom’s unique competitive advantage today, as it continues to lean into full-funnel and omnichannel performance solutions for independent agencies and brands. During the last 10 years Socialcom has experienced significant achievements in terms of growth, market relevance, and product innovation, evidenced by an array of prestigious industry awards, including being named one of the fastest-growing companies in America by Deloitte, The Financial Times and the Los Angeles Business Journal, as well ranking on the Inc. 5000 list for four consecutive years, starting in 2019 and most recently in 2022. In 2021 Socialcom was an AdExchanger finalist for Best Programmatic Capabilities, a W3 Silver Award winner for best integrated campaign and in 2022 Socialcom VP of Partnership Solutions, Danielle Gale, was honored by Cynoposis as one of the Top Women in Media. Socialcom is the operating subsidiary of Vado Corp (the “Company,” “Vado,” “we,” “our” and “us”), which we acquired in the share exchange described below. Since 2023 the Company has been focused on developing powerful data science and predictive analytics solutions, through AXi, it’s proprietary suite of audience intelligence tools, that can help deliver significantly improved performance outcomes for their brand and agency clients, driving differentiation for their tech stack and competitive advantage for their clients.

 

Share Exchange

 

On February 24, 2023 the Company completed the share exchange (the “Exchange”) contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) dated January 30, 2023 with Socialcom and the stockholders of Socialcom signatory thereto (the “Closing”). Pursuant to the Closing of the Exchange, the Company issued the Socialcom stockholders signatory thereto a total of 169,434,640 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 96% of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to such issuance, in exchange for all of the shares of Socialcom common stock held by such Socialcom stockholders. As a result of the Closing of the Exchange, Socialcom became an approximately 96.6% owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In connection with the Exchange, the Company also agreed to the following: (i) the cancellation of 93 million shares of common stock held by David Lelong, a director of the Company who at that time was also the Company’s sole officer, which cancellation was effected at the Closing, (ii) the issuance 22,793,540 options to purchase common stock of the Company to Socialcom directors, officers, employees and consultants under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan in exchange for the cancellation of 2,604,976 outstanding Socialcom stock options held by such persons, and (iii) execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) for a financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $1,500,000 (the “Secondary Financing”). The first tranche of the Secondary Financing, in which the Company sold 25,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) for $750,000, closed simultaneously with the Closing of the Exchange. The second tranche of the Secondary Financing in which the Company sold an additional 25,000 shares of Series A for an additional $750,000 closed on May 25, 2023.

 

Effective at the Closing, the number of directors of the Company was fixed at three, and Jason Wulfsohn and Reeve Benaron were appointed to serve on the Board of Directors. Effective upon the Closing, David Lelong tendered his resignation as the sole officer of the Company, and Jason Wulfsohn was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Lelong remains as a director.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Socialcom and Vado Corp. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $1,052,545 at June 30, 2024, including $1,052,519 restricted cash; and $133,182 at December 31, 2023.  There were no cash equivalents in either period.

 

Restricted Cash and Restricted Investment

 

On December 31, 2023, the Company had a restricted investment of $1,029,256 in the form of a United States Treasury Bill which matured on May 16, 2024. Upon maturity, this amount, including interest, was classified to Restricted Cash, and the amount of $1,052,519 is classified as Restricted Cash on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2024 See notes 4, 14, and 18.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:

 

   

Years

 

Office equipment

  3 to 5  

Furniture & fixtures

  3 to 7  

Leasehold improvements

 

Term of lease

 

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles including goodwill for impairment on an annual basis utilizing the guidance set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the net carrying value of intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet was $77,661 and $110,425, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and other accounts, the balances of which at times may be uninsured or exceed federally insured limits. From time to time, some of the Company’s funds are also held by escrow agents; these funds may not be federally insured. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. Total recognized advertising and marketing expenses were $81,068 and $78,203 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825 - Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

 

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to the development of the Company’s platform solution. These costs include third party development expenses for that are directly associated with and devote time to software development projects. Software development costs that do not qualify for capitalization, as further discussed below, are expensed as incurred and recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company’s customers do not take possession of the software and cannot run the software on their own hardware. For these reasons, pursuant to ASC 985-20 Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed (“ASC 982-20”), the software is considered a software hosting arrangement and the Company applied the guidance of ASC 350-40 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Internal Use Software” (“ASC 350-40"). Pursuant to ASC 350-40, software development activities typically consist of three stages: (1) the planning phase; (2) the application and infrastructure development stage; and (3) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and post implementation phases, including costs associated with the post-configuration training and repairs and maintenance of the developed technologies, are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs associated with software developed when the preliminary project stage is completed, management implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development phases, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalization ends once a project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Software development costs are amortized using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use. The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leasing arrangements by applying the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company enters into operating leases for its office space. The Company does not have finance leases.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, or term, in exchange for consideration, and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the aforementioned right.

 

Operating lease assets and liabilities are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which includes the minimum unconditional term of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such options will be exercised. As the rate implicit for each of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of its expected lease payments. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components.

 

Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating lease expense over the lease term on the consolidated statements of operations. The related amortization, along with the change in the operating lease liabilities, are separately presented within the cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company records lease expense for operating leases, some of which have escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Certain leases contain provisions for property-related costs that are variable in nature for which the Company is responsible, including common area maintenance and other property operating services. These costs are calculated based on a variety of factors including property values, tax and utility rates, property services fees and other factors.

 

Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue by providing marketers and advertising agencies with the ability to deliver digital marketing and marketing-related solutions. The Company’s primary business is to deliver omnichannel programmatic, paid search, and paid social advertising services for its customers. The Company also does a limited amount of marketing-related project work for customers, including creative services, and also has a reseller solution with a partner. This results in the following revenue streams:

 

 

Programmatic Solutions

 

 

 

 

Paid Search & Social Solutions

 

 

 

 

Services Revenue

 

 

 

 

Self-Serve Revenue

 

The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

 

 

Identification of a contract with a customer;

 

 

 

 

Identification of the performance obligation in the contract;

 

 

 

 

Determination of the transaction price;

 

 

 

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

 

 

 

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or a net basis is based upon an assessment of whether we are acting as the principal or agent in the transaction based upon the guidance in ASC 606. Making such determinations involves judgment and is based on an evaluation of the terms of each arrangement, none of which are considered presumptive or determinative. We act as a principal and recognize revenue on a gross basis if (i) we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our clients; (ii) we bear sole responsibility for fulfillment of the advertising promise and inventory risks and (iii) we have full discretion in establishing prices. We applied the guidance of ASC 606 to our revenue streams as follows:

 

Programmatic Solutions: Programmatic revenue consists of delivering our customer’s budget programmatically through our trading desk model, where multiple Demand Side Platforms (“DSP”) are utilized to deliver advertising budgets as paid impressions. The Company, through its deep understanding of DSP platforms, transacts to spend customer’s budgets within the platforms to execute against customer marketing goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. In this arrangement, our team will perform all of the setup, activation, strategy, tactic building, implementation and delivery of the campaign through a partner platform or platforms. We enter into an Insertion Order / Media Plan (“IO”) with all Programmatic customers. The IO states the services that are to be performed and a budget for each tactic or tactics. We bill our customers for a percentage of the total spend, and recognize revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. Because we are in control of this process and assume inventory risk, we recognize revenue on a gross basis.

 

Paid Search & Social Solutions: We also enter into an IO with all Paid Search & Social customers. The IO states the services that are to be performed and a budget for each tactic. We bill our customers for a percentage of the total spend, and recognize revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. In instances where we pay the third party for inventory, we recognize revenue on a gross basis because we bear the inventory risk. In instances where the customer pays the third party, we recognize revenue on a net basis.

 

Services Revenue: We enter into Statement of Work (“SOW”) agreements with all Services customers. The SOW includes estimated costs to be applied against the services to be performed, and establishes payment and billing terms. Services revenue is recognized on a gross basis.

 

Self-Serve Revenue: Self-serve revenue consists of revenues generated through our Admatx platform, as well as through reselling access to a major enterprise DSP. Users of Admatx agree to our platform terms and conditions, and we enter into Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) with all reseller customers. The Platform Terms and Conditions and MSAs detail the work and responsibilities of each party and their respective obligations. Self-serve revenue is recognized on a net basis.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Certain customer arrangements in the Company's business result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance.

 

The following table represents the changes in deferred revenue as reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

 

Balance acquired as of December 31, 2023

    191,766  

Cash payments received

    1,563,998  

Net sales recognized

    (823,125 )

Balance as of June 30, 2024

  $ 932,639  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings or Loss Per Share

 

Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options to purchase common stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had the following potentially dilutive instruments outstanding: a total of 20,296,798 and 21,684,635 shares, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

 

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculations. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 20,296,798 and 21,684,635 stock options, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of fully-diluted shares outstanding.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company management may consult its legal counsel to evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims brought to such legal counsel’s attention as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, as well as amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard was effective for us on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

16. Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If a carryforward exists, the Company decides as to whether the carryforward will be utilized in the future. Currently, a valuation allowance is established for all deferred tax assets and carryforwards as their recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. If the Company’s expectations for future operating results at the federal or at the state jurisdiction level vary from actual results due to changes in healthcare regulations, general economic conditions, or other factors, it may need to adjust the valuation allowance, for all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company’s income tax expense in future periods will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases, respectively, in the Company’s valuation allowance in the period when the change in circumstances occurs. These changes could have a significant impact on the Company’s future earnings.

 

Income tax expense was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The annual forecasted effective income tax rate for 2023 is 0%. The Company has no net operating loss carryforward due to the change of control inherent in the Exchange Agreement (see note 1). The Company has no uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]

17. Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had restricted cash of $1,052,519 and unrestricted cash on hand of $26 net of an overdraft in the amount of $5,013, and a working capital deficit of $10,383,599. Management believes this amount is not sufficient to meet our operating needs for the 12 months subsequent to the date of this filing. In order to meet our working capital requirements, we will need to either raise sufficient capital and/or increase revenue by executing against our various ongoing strategic growth initiatives while continuing to actively reduce, maintain, or manage our current expenditures. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve cash flow and the ability to obtain additional financing, including debt and equity offerings. These and other listed factors cause substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In June 2019, a former services provider of the Company filed a complaint in the amount of $1,442,441 for amounts due. The Company countersued for breach of agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued an additional $894,274 pursuant to this dispute as a result a claim for an additional liability and a judgment for court costs against the Company. The Company plans to appeal this judgement which the Company believes is unlawful. The Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $2,476,926 on the balance sheet at June 30, 2024 in connection with this complaint. The Company has restricted cash in the amount of $1,052,519 at June 30, 2024 for purposes of funding a surety bond in connection with this complaint. See note 14.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business, and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Socialcom and Vado Corp. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $1,052,545 at June 30, 2024, including $1,052,519 restricted cash; and $133,182 at December 31, 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Restricted Cash and Restricted Investment

On December 31, 2023, the Company had a restricted investment of $1,029,256 in the form of a United States Treasury Bill which matured on May 16, 2024. Upon maturity, this amount, including interest, was classified to Restricted Cash, and the amount of $1,052,519 is classified as Restricted Cash on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2024 See notes 4, 14, and 18.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:

   

Years

 

Office equipment

  3 to 5  

Furniture & fixtures

  3 to 7  

Leasehold improvements

 

Term of lease

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles including goodwill for impairment on an annual basis utilizing the guidance set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the net carrying value of intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet was $77,661 and $110,425, respectively.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and other accounts, the balances of which at times may be uninsured or exceed federally insured limits. From time to time, some of the Company’s funds are also held by escrow agents; these funds may not be federally insured. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]

Advertising and Marketing Costs

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. Total recognized advertising and marketing expenses were $81,068 and $78,203 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825 - Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to the development of the Company’s platform solution. These costs include third party development expenses for that are directly associated with and devote time to software development projects. Software development costs that do not qualify for capitalization, as further discussed below, are expensed as incurred and recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s customers do not take possession of the software and cannot run the software on their own hardware. For these reasons, pursuant to ASC 985-20 Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed (“ASC 982-20”), the software is considered a software hosting arrangement and the Company applied the guidance of ASC 350-40 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Internal Use Software” (“ASC 350-40"). Pursuant to ASC 350-40, software development activities typically consist of three stages: (1) the planning phase; (2) the application and infrastructure development stage; and (3) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and post implementation phases, including costs associated with the post-configuration training and repairs and maintenance of the developed technologies, are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs associated with software developed when the preliminary project stage is completed, management implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development phases, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalization ends once a project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Software development costs are amortized using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use. The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Operating Leases

The Company accounts for its leasing arrangements by applying the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company enters into operating leases for its office space. The Company does not have finance leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, or term, in exchange for consideration, and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the aforementioned right.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which includes the minimum unconditional term of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such options will be exercised. As the rate implicit for each of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of its expected lease payments. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components.

 

Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating lease expense over the lease term on the consolidated statements of operations. The related amortization, along with the change in the operating lease liabilities, are separately presented within the cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company records lease expense for operating leases, some of which have escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain leases contain provisions for property-related costs that are variable in nature for which the Company is responsible, including common area maintenance and other property operating services. These costs are calculated based on a variety of factors including property values, tax and utility rates, property services fees and other factors.

Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenue by providing marketers and advertising agencies with the ability to deliver digital marketing and marketing-related solutions. The Company’s primary business is to deliver omnichannel programmatic, paid search, and paid social advertising services for its customers. The Company also does a limited amount of marketing-related project work for customers, including creative services, and also has a reseller solution with a partner. This results in the following revenue streams:

 

Programmatic Solutions

 

 

 

 

Paid Search & Social Solutions

 

 

 

 

Services Revenue

 

 

 

 

Self-Serve Revenue

The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

 

Identification of a contract with a customer;

 

 

 

 

Identification of the performance obligation in the contract;

 

 

 

 

Determination of the transaction price;

 

 

 

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

 

 

 

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

The determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or a net basis is based upon an assessment of whether we are acting as the principal or agent in the transaction based upon the guidance in ASC 606. Making such determinations involves judgment and is based on an evaluation of the terms of each arrangement, none of which are considered presumptive or determinative. We act as a principal and recognize revenue on a gross basis if (i) we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our clients; (ii) we bear sole responsibility for fulfillment of the advertising promise and inventory risks and (iii) we have full discretion in establishing prices. We applied the guidance of ASC 606 to our revenue streams as follows:

Programmatic Solutions: Programmatic revenue consists of delivering our customer’s budget programmatically through our trading desk model, where multiple Demand Side Platforms (“DSP”) are utilized to deliver advertising budgets as paid impressions. The Company, through its deep understanding of DSP platforms, transacts to spend customer’s budgets within the platforms to execute against customer marketing goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. In this arrangement, our team will perform all of the setup, activation, strategy, tactic building, implementation and delivery of the campaign through a partner platform or platforms. We enter into an Insertion Order / Media Plan (“IO”) with all Programmatic customers. The IO states the services that are to be performed and a budget for each tactic or tactics. We bill our customers for a percentage of the total spend, and recognize revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. Because we are in control of this process and assume inventory risk, we recognize revenue on a gross basis.

Paid Search & Social Solutions: We also enter into an IO with all Paid Search & Social customers. The IO states the services that are to be performed and a budget for each tactic. We bill our customers for a percentage of the total spend, and recognize revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. In instances where we pay the third party for inventory, we recognize revenue on a gross basis because we bear the inventory risk. In instances where the customer pays the third party, we recognize revenue on a net basis.

 

Services Revenue: We enter into Statement of Work (“SOW”) agreements with all Services customers. The SOW includes estimated costs to be applied against the services to be performed, and establishes payment and billing terms. Services revenue is recognized on a gross basis.

Self-Serve Revenue: Self-serve revenue consists of revenues generated through our Admatx platform, as well as through reselling access to a major enterprise DSP. Users of Admatx agree to our platform terms and conditions, and we enter into Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) with all reseller customers. The Platform Terms and Conditions and MSAs detail the work and responsibilities of each party and their respective obligations. Self-serve revenue is recognized on a net basis.

Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Revenue

Certain customer arrangements in the Company's business result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance.

The following table represents the changes in deferred revenue as reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

Balance acquired as of December 31, 2023

    191,766  

Cash payments received

    1,563,998  

Net sales recognized

    (823,125 )

Balance as of June 30, 2024

  $ 932,639  
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basic and Diluted Earnings or Loss Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options to purchase common stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had the following potentially dilutive instruments outstanding: a total of 20,296,798 and 21,684,635 shares, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculations. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 20,296,798 and 21,684,635 stock options, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of fully-diluted shares outstanding.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Commitments and Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company management may consult its legal counsel to evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims brought to such legal counsel’s attention as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, as well as amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard was effective for us on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Loan payable to Decathlon dated December 31, 2019 (the “Decathlon Loan”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The Decathlon Loan is due June 30, 2024 and is collateralized by all the assets of the Company. The Decathlon Loan accrues interest at a variable rate based upon internal rate of return targets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the minimum interest on this loan increased by $900,000 to a total of $3,900,000. The Company accounted for the minimum interest liability as a discount on the debt.
