1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature
of Business
We
are currently engaged in two primary businesses, which include providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate
industry and the international food business. Our food business is focused on international food distribution of nuts, fruits,
honey, and meats. We intend to divest the real estate business during this fiscal year.
Food
Products
Verus
Foods, Inc. (“Verus”) a Nevada corporation, and our wholly owned subsidiary was incorporated in January 2017, and
is an international supplier of consumer food products. Verus markets under its own brand primarily to supermarkets, hotels, and
other members of the wholesale trade. In 2017, Verus is pursuing a three-pronged development program through the addition of cold-storage
facilities, product line expansion, and new vertical farm-to-market operations. Verus’ initial focus is on frozen foods,
particularly meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and french fries. Verus has a significant regional presence in the Middle East
and North Africa (MENA) and sub-Saharan Africa (excluding Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”)-restricted nations),
with deep roots in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. In January, 2017 Verus received a contract valued at $78 million
to supply beef to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar,
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The first orders under this contract were shipped in February, 2017.
Real
Estate
We
have generated revenue from service fees (video creation and production and website hosting (ReachFactor)) and product sales (Nestbuilder
Agent 2.0 and Microvideo app). We were formed through the merging of three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division
(formerly known as Webdigs); (ii) our TV media contracts (Home Preview Channel /Extraordinary Vacation Homes) division; and (iii)
our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group (RealBiz 360). The assets of these divisions were used to create a new suite of real
estate products and services that create stickiness through the utilization of video, social media, and loyalty programs. At the
core of our programs is our proprietary video creation technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures
of home listings) to a video with voice and music. We provide video search, storage, and marketing capabilities on multiple platform
dynamics for web, mobile, and TV. Once a home, personal or community video is created using our proprietary technology, it can
be published to social media, email or distributed to multiple real estate websites, broadband or television for consumer viewing.
Products
and Services
:
We
currently offer the following products and services:
Enterprise
Video Production
: We service some of the largest and well known franchisor accounts in the North America Real Estate Market
in compiling listings into a Video format and distributing to those franchisor’s websites, brokers and agents and lead generation
platforms 24/7. This core area significantly contributes to our growth not only in this core service but continues to allow us
access to national databases and directly agents and brokers to allow us access to upgrades and upsell other core products and
services. We currently have the ability to produce over 15,000 videos per day and have exclusive agreements with key players such
as Century21 Scheetz and ERA systems.
Nestbuilder
Agent 2.0 (formerly PowerAgent)
:
Nestbuilder Agent 2.0 is a newly developed comprehensive marketing toolset for the
professional real estate agent which utilizes our proprietary video technology to allow any agent to create videos for their listings,
edit them with music and an introduction and market the videos through multiple sources. This product is powered by an intuitive
CRM (contact management) and has been designed to allow agents to extend their marketing reach through social media management,
email marketing and web site syndication. In addition, the iOs and Android apps work in conjunction with Nestbuilder Agent 2.0
allowing the agent to take many of the capabilities mobile, right to where the asset is located. Early reviews of this product
from industry experts have been extremely favorable. We intend to sell this product via a monthly subscription model.
The
Virtual Tour (VT) and Microvideo App (MVA):
These programs were developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific
video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise
systems and/or their brokers. The MVA is a proprietary video widget marketing application designed to deliver video and integrate
SEO strategies, traffic generation, e-mail, lead generation with mobile-friendly viewing. This solution gives those franchises
and brokers a much-needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition.
ReachFactor
:
Our social media and marketing platform under the “ReachFactor” brand name offers a variety of solutions to agents
and brokers such as web design and web hosting, digital ad campaigns, blogging, social media management, reputation management
and search engine optimization.

NestBuilder
Website Portal
: We provide a consumer real estate portal at www.nestbuilder.com which contains over 1.5 million listings.
Unlike other leaders in the space that agents are seeking alternatives to, NestBuilder focuses on building agent’s brands
and delivering high-quality leads. They achieve this by offering fully customizable webpages in NestBuilder Agent that will follow
their homebuyer throughout the home search, ultimately turning NestBuilder.com into each agent’s very own national portal.
We provide this website free of charge to consumer and agent.
Nestbuilder
Agent
: This agent-only platform allows agents to claim and customize their own web page to be used as a marketing platform.
This platform interacts with nestbuilder.com site allowing agents to claim their listings and then create customized listing pages,
as well as being able to pull other MLS property listings to create specialized marketing messages. Additionally, the agent can
view the effectiveness of their marketing efforts through a dashboard that shows multiple statistics including number of views,
time spent, origination and lead generation. This platform is provided free of charge and empowers the real estate agent with
content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads.
Ezflix
Mobile App
: The ezflix app is a free mobile/web video editor that pre-integrates with an agent’s listing data, allowing
them to edit all of their listing’s data, and convert them into video with live video interstitial capabilities, audio recording
and music. Ezflix can then share videos to all social media, email, and multiple other real estate portals including NestBuilder
(www.nestbuilder.com) thereby giving agents a way to personalize their listing videos with entertaining local relevant content.
This application is available in both Web and Mobile, was initially launched in both the Android and iOS versions in January and
February 2015. This platform as it evolves will combine our VT (Virtual Tour) and MVA (Microvideo App) platform into one solution
and distribute to multiple partners and resellers including Photographer and Videographer service providers’ network. This
product integration has been integrated with our Nestbuilder Agent 2.0 product released in January 2016.
Basis
of Presentation
The
unaudited interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state RealBiz Media Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’
(collectively, the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”) financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
These
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements
for the year ended October 31, 2016, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC
on February 10, 2017. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2017, are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending October 31, 2017.
NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements
and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If
actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of
derivative liabilities, and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money
market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents at January 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016.

NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card
payments. The Company recognizes accounts receivable for amounts uncollected from the credit card service provider at the end
of the accounting period. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance
for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’
ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances
develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company
maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. The allowance
for doubtful accounts at January 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, respectively is $-0-.
Property
and Equipment
All
expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset
benefits the Company for a period of more than one year. Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment
are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after
being placed in service. The estimated useful life of computer equipment is 3 years. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired,
the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically
reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s
estimated fair value and its book value. During the three months ended January 31, 2017, the Company did not impair any long-lived
assets.
Derivative
Instruments
The
Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that
contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretations
of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the
balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly
and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized
as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based
on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.
The
Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are
considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers,
among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For
less complex derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes model, adjusted
for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms,
dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments
requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the
instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes
model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial
instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility
in these estimates and assumption changes. Increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in
fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in
the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result
in the application of non-cash derivative income.
Convertible
Debt Instruments
The
Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial
conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital.
Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company has adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair
Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date.
ASC
820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level
2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
Level
3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s
best estimate of fair value.
Financial
instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, due from affiliates, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets
approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current
rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exits; (2) delivery
has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the Company’s price to its customer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability
is reasonably assured.
The
Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card
payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly
recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees
give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected
fee for services yet to be delivered.
Technology
and Development
Costs
to research and develop our products are expensed as incurred. These costs consist of primarily of technology and development
related expenses including third party contractor fees and technology software services.
Advertising
Expense
Advertising
costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements. The company has not incurred any advertising expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC
718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services
in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods
and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of
those equity instruments. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides
guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions
of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic
505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.

Foreign
Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The
functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is typically the applicable local currency. The translation from the respective
foreign currencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates
in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period.
Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect
of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited
or charged to other comprehensive income.
Transaction
gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the
transaction date and on the reporting date. We recognized net foreign exchange gain of $0 and $9,450 for three months ended January
31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of other (income)
expense, net, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended January 31, 2017
and 2016, the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was ($32,005) and ($6,082), respectively.
The
exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange as quoted on an internet website. Translation
of amount from Canadian dollars into United States dollars was made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
|
●
|
As
of January 31, 2017 - Canadian dollar $0.7643 to US $1.00

For
the three months ended January 31, 2017 - Canadian dollar $0.749648 to US $1.00
|
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects
of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities
from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company
operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or
the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities
may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not”
criteria of ASC 740.
ASC
740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant
tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not”
threshold, the amount recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater
than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per
common share is considered to be equal to basic because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include

Concentrations,
Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company’s operations are related to the real estate and international food industries, and its prospects for success are
tied indirectly to interest rates, the general housing and business climates in the United States, and the worldwide demand for
the Company’s food products.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)
2017-04 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”,
which simplifies the measurement of a potential goodwill impairment charge by eliminating the requirement to calculate an implied
fair value of the goodwill based on the fair value of a reporting unit’s other assets and liabilities. The new guidance
eliminates the implied fair value method and instead measures a potential impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting
unit’s carrying value compared to its fair value. The impairment charge cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated
to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for the Company on May 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Based on the
Company’s most recent annual goodwill impairment test completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company expects
no initial impact on adoption.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”,
which clarifies the definition of a business in order to allow for the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted
for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or business. The standard is effective for the Company on May 1, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. The future impact of ASU 2017-01 will be dependent upon the nature of future acquisitions or dispositions made by the
Company.
In
October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”,
which simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current
GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been
sold to an outside party. The new guidance states that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity
transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this Standard eliminate the
exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The standard is effective for the Company on May 1, 2018,
with early adoption permitted. The Company expects no initial impact on the adoption.
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and
Cash Payments”, which provides clarification on classifying a variety of activities within the Statement of Cash flows.
The standard is effective for the Company on May 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the
impact the new guidance will have on its statement of cash flows.
In
March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based
Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification
of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also allows an
entity to make an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur or to estimate the number of awards that
are expected to vest with a subsequent true up to actual forfeitures (current GAAP). The standard is effective for the Company
on May 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new guidance will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases
on the balance sheet which will result in an increase in reported assets and liabilities. The recognition of expenses within the
income statement is consistent with the existing lease accounting standards. There are no significant changes in the new standard
for lessors under operating leases. The standard is effective for the Company on May 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Adoption
requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new guidance
will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”.
To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that all deferred tax assets and
liabilities, including those previously classified as current, be classified as a single noncurrent line in a classified statement
of financial position. The amendments in the standard will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The standard is effective for the Company on May 1, 2017
with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the new guidance on May 1, 2017. The adoption will have no impact on the
Company’s results of operations or statement of cash flows.

3: GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,003,452
for the three months ended January 31, 2017. At January 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $621,409
and an accumulated deficit of $22,670,045. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In
order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds
through the issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock and or through the issuance of debt instruments. Although
the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional
financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all.
NOTE
4: RESTRICTED CASH
At
January 31, 2016 the company posted a surety bond with the California Department of Labor in the amount of $27,977 as required

is due $1,287,517 as of January 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, respectively. Management has elected to record an allowance against
the entire amount due from affiliate. The allowance was required due to the uncertainty of the collectability of the outstanding

Note
8: Segment reporting
The
Company has two reportable segments: digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry and the international food
business. The Real Estate segment provides service in the form of (video creation and production and website hosting (ReachFactor))
and product sales (Nestbuilder Agent 2.0 and Microvideo app). The Food Business segment is an international supplier of consumer
food products, marketing its own brand primarily to supermarkets, hotels, and other members of the wholesale trade.
The
Company evaluates segment performance based on segment income (loss) before taxes. Costs excluded from segment income (loss) before
taxes and reported as “Other” consist of corporate general and administrative costs which are not allocable to the
three reportable segments. Legal fee expense incurred for general corporate matters are considered a component of the Other segment.
Legal fee expense specific to other segments’ activities has been allocated to those segments.
Management
of the Company assesses assets on a consolidated basis only and, therefore, assets by reportable segment have not been included
in the reportable segments below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary
of significant accounting policies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31,
2016.
The
following financial information represents the operating results of the reportable segments of the Company:

Convertible
Preferred Stock Series A
On
October 14, 2014, the Company filed a certificate of amendment pursuant to the July 31st, 2014 Board of Directors approval to
increase the Preferred A shares from 100,000,000 shares to 120,000,000 shares. As of January 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, the
Company had 100,000 and 45,188,600 shares, respectively, of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A issued and outstanding. The preferred
shares were issued at $.001 par and bear dividends at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis when declared by the
board of directors. Dividends accumulate whether or not they have been declared by the board. At the election of the Company,
Preferred Dividends may be converted into Series A Stock, with each converted share having a value equal to the market price per
share, subject to adjustment for stock splits. In order to exercise such option, the Company delivers written notice to the holder.
Each share of Series A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof at any time into a number of shares of Common
Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of a $1 per
share by the Conversion Price then
in effect. The conversion price for the Series A Stock is equal to $1.00 per share. Each holder of Series A stock shall be entitled
to one vote for each whole share of common stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such share on the record date for determining
eligibility to participate in the action being taken.

stockholders prior to the consolidation or merger own less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving entity, or
(c) the winding up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (each such event in clause (a), (b) or (c)

after taking into account the distribution of assets among, or payment thereof over to, creditors of the Company (the “net

of the net assets available for Distribution (or the consideration received in such transaction) before any payment or distribution
shall be made to the holders of any class of preferred stock ranking junior to the Series A Stock or to the Common Stock, an amount
for each share of Series A Stock equal to all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends plus the Stated Value, as adjusted (the “Series
A Liquidation Amount”).
In
September 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock under which they agreed
to waive and cancel any further dividends owing on the Series A Preferred from and after May 1, 2015 in exchange for our agreement
to pay all accrued dividends through April 30, 2015.
During
the three months ended January 31, 2017, the Company recorded the following activity with respect to its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock:
In
December 2016, the company cancelled 44,470,101 preferred Series A shares and 10,359,892 common shares which were held by Monaker
Group, Inc. in connection with an over issuance of common shares relating the conversion of the Monaker dual convertible preferred
shares (See Note 13).
In
December, 2016 the company converted 1,155,725 of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,155,800 shares of its common
stock.
During
the three months ended January 31, 2016, the Company recorded the following activity with respect to its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock:
On
December 1, 2015, the Company retired 1,000,000 of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by Monaker Group, Inc., the Company’s
former parent, in accordance with the original securities and purchase agreement of October 2012 and retirement was approved by
the Board of Directors on May 15, 2014. This was based on the issuances of 1 million RealBiz common shares issued for conversion
of 30,000 shares of Monaker Group, Inc. Series D Convertible Preferred stock on such date.
Convertible
Preferred Stock Series B
On
July 31, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a new Series B Preferred stock and on October 14,
2014 a certificate of designation was filed with the state of Delaware designating 1,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001,
a stated value of $5.00 per share and convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share. The Series B Preferred

and October 31, 2015.
Convertible
Preferred Stock Series C
Pursuant
to authority granted by our certificate of incorporation and applicable state law, our Board of Directors, without any action
or approval by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares in such classes or series (including other classes or series of
preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends,
liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of other classes or series of capital stock, including preferred stock that
may be issued could be superior to the rights of the shares of common stock offered hereby. The designation and issuance of shares
of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to the shares of our common stock.
Finally, any issuances of additional capital stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our
stockholders and may dilute the per-share book value of the Company. Each share of our series C preferred stock is convertible
into that number of shares of shares of common stock determined by dividing (i) the stated value ($5.00) by (ii) the conversion
price then in effect ($0.05). For example, our Series C Preferred contain voting rights which provide each share of Series C Preferred
Stock with 100 votes for each shares of common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible. Accordingly, our
currently outstanding 160,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 16,000,000 shares) are entitled to
1,600,000,000 votes on any matter presented for a vote to our common stockholders. This has resulted in the holders of our Series
C Preferred Stock having voting majority voting control of our corporation. There were 160,000 and 35,000 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock outstanding on January 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, respectively.

: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Equity
transactions with the Company’s former parent Company are described in Note 10.
On
November 19, 2015, the Company agreed to issue 1 million shares of common stock valued at $0.05 per share to a company controlled
by its former Chairman (Don Monaco) in consideration of his agreement to cancel and extinguish a 0%, $50,000 promissory note issued
to him on August 29, 2015.
On
November 30, 2015, a company controlled by the Company’s former Chairman (Don Monaco) purchased 6 million units at a price
of $0.05 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000. Each unit consisted of 1 share of common stock and a 1-year warrant
to purchase 1 share of common at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. This resulted in the issuance of 6 million shares of common
stock and a 1-year warrant to purchase 6 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. In addition,
Thomas Grbelja, our Chief Financial Officer purchased 200,000 Units for $10,000.
On
December 1, 2015, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (Alex Aliksanyan) converted 30,000 shares of Monaker Group
Inc. Series D Preferred Stock into 1 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Series D Convertible Preferred

: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
February 27, 2017, RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Power
Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”) pursuant to which Power Up purchased a convertible note. On February 27, 2017,
the Company issued Power Up a convertible note with an aggregate principal amount of $78,500 (the “Note”). The Note
accrues interest rate at a rate of 8% per annum and matures on November 30, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). Power Up may
convert the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 61% of the average of the lowest three closing
bid prices during the 15 trading day period ending on the last complete trading date prior to the date of conversion. Power Up
may convert the Note at any time during the period beginning on the date which is 180 days following the date of the Note and
ending on the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in the Note);
provided,
however
, that Power Up may not convert the Note to the extent that such conversion would result in Power Up’s beneficial
ownership being in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock together with all shares owned by
Power Up and its affiliates (the “Beneficial Ownership Limit”). Power Up may, on not less than 61 days’ prior
notice to the Company, waive the Beneficial Ownership Limit. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company may, at any time,
prior to conversion, prepay the principal amount of the Note together with interest accrued thereon.
