CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, growth, product development, sales, business strategy, statements related to any further expected effects on our business from the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, inflation, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the continued duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and any impact on the demand for our products; our ability to obtain needed raw materials and components from our suppliers; additional actions governments, businesses, and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including mandatory business closures and restrictions on onsite commercial interactions; the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies and economic activity; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; the effects of steps that we could take to reduce operating costs; our inability to sustain profitable sales growth, or reduce our costs to maintain competitive prices for our products; circumstances or developments that may make us unable to implement or realize the anticipated benefits, or that may increase the costs, of our current and planned business initiatives; and those factors detailed by us in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In light of these risks and uncertainties, all of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein.

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of RDE, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), are unaudited, but in the opinion of management contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. We believe that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2023.

 

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Agreement and Plan of Merger with CardCash Exchange, Inc.

 

On August 18, 2023, RDE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CardCash Exchange, Inc., (“CardCash”) a leading secondary gift card exchange. RDE, subject to a number of closing conditions, including that it meet the listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, will acquire the business of CardCash for (i) $2,000,000 of which $1,000,000 will be paid at the future closing of the transaction out of existing cash, and $1,000,000 will be paid in the form a promissory note due and payable on the second anniversary of the future closing date, and (ii) the issuance of 6,108,077 restricted shares of RDE’s common stock to the shareholders of CardCash with a fair value on August 18, 2023, of approximately $27.7 million, which would currently represents approximately 37% of RDE’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the future closing of the merger. Following the closing of the CardCash merger, CardCash will become a wholly owned subsidiary of RDE. The acquisition is targeted to close by the end of 2023. This transaction will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged will be recorded at estimated fair values on the date of closing of the acquisition.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $2,457,572 and used cash in operations of $1,001,156. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 F-6 

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $2,613,868. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing.

 

COVID-19

 

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic may continue to impact its employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. While the pandemic did not materially affect the Company’s financial results and business operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will make adjustments to its operations as necessary.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in accruals for potential liabilities, redemption rate of promotional gift cards, assumptions used in valuing equity instruments issued for services, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products. Revenue excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes.

 

The Company operates online websites that sell discounted restaurant coupons, travel and vacation packages, and other merchandise. In addition, the Company also generates revenues based upon the number of times a third-party website(s) or products(s) are accessed or viewed by consumers from the Company’s website or platform.

 

Restaurant Coupons revenues

 

Sale of Restaurant Coupons

 

The Company sells discount certificates for restaurants on behalf of third-party restaurants. Approximately 9 to 13 days each month the Company emails its customers offers for restaurant discounts based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access deals offered by the Company directly through the Company’s websites and mobile applications. A typical restaurant discount deal might offer a $25 discount that can be used toward a $50 purchase at a restaurant. The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis upon sale and collection of the restaurant coupons from customers. The Company has no further commitment or obligation to third-party restaurants or the coupon purchasers upon the sale of restaurant coupons and no amounts are due to the third-party restaurants for these sales. Sale of restaurant coupons are generally non-refundable. On an infrequent case-by-case basis, the Company will accept customer’s request to transfer a restaurant coupon from one third-party restaurant to another (for example, upon the closure of a restaurant).

 

 F-7 

 

Sale of Promotional Gift Card Revenue

 

The Company sells Restaurant.com promotional gift cards which can only be redeemed for restaurant coupons offered by the Company on its website. Based on the Company’s historical redemption rates of its promotional gift cards, a portion of the sale of gift card revenue is recorded as deferred revenue liability at the time of sale and recognized as revenue in future periods based on historical redemption trend rates, but no longer than 24 months from the date of sale. The Company continues to review historical promotional gift card redemption information and considers any changes in redemption patterns to assess when revenue is realized. Future redemption rates may be different than our historical experience and subject to inherent uncertainty. If actual redemption activity differs significantly from our historical experience, our deferred revenue and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Travel, Vacation and Merchandise Revenues

 

The Company also derives revenue from transactions in which it sells complementary entertainment and travel offerings and consumer products on behalf of third-party merchants across a wide range of product categories, including, but not limited to, computer products, consumer electronics, apparel, housewares, watches, jewelry, travel, sporting goods, automobiles, home improvement products, and collectibles. Additional deals include discounted pricing at theaters, movies or other merchants. Customers purchase restaurant deals from the Company and redeem them with the Company’s merchant partners. Approximately 9 to 13 days each month the Company emails its customers offers for discounted experiences and products based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access the Company’s deals directly through the Company’s websites and mobile applications. Those discounted experiences and products generally involve a customer’s purchase of a voucher through one of the Company’s websites that can be redeemed with a third-party merchant for services or goods (or for discounts on services and goods). Revenue from those transactions is reported on a net basis and equals the purchase price received from the customer for the voucher less an agreed upon portion of the purchase price paid by the Company to its partners.

 

Advertising Revenues

 

The Company also has agreements with selected third-party partners, such as Google Ads, wherein third-party website(s) and/or product(s) are shown or incorporated in the Company’s platform or website. The Company generates revenues based upon the number of times the third-party website(s) or product(s) are accessed or viewed by consumers from the Company’s platform or website. Revenue is recognized when its determinable, which is generally upon receipt of a statement and/or proceeds from the third-party partners.

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting where the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth and margins, future changes in technology, brand awareness and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which primarily consist of convertible notes and stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share was the same for all periods presented because all convertible notes and stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive.

 

At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the outstanding convertible debt and securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues share-based awards to employees and non-employees and consultants for services rendered. Stock options vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants are measured at the grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the grant date and is generally recognized as a charge to operations ratably over the requisite service, or vesting, period.

 

The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, dividend rate, and a risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, calculated utilizing a look-back period approximately equal to the contractual life of the stock option being granted. The expected life of the stock option is calculated as the mid-point between the vesting period and the contractual term (the “simplified method”). The risk-free interest rate is estimated using comparable published federal funds rates.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company has marketing relationship agreements with various online companies such as portal networks, contextual sites, search engines and affiliate partners. Advertising costs are generally charged to the Company monthly per vendor agreements, which typically are based on visitors and/or registrations delivered to the site or at a set fee. Agreements do not provide for guaranteed renewal and may be terminated by the Company without cause. Such advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, advertising costs were $165,710 and $247,759, respectively.

 

Customer and Vendor Concentration

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were two customers and one customer who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were three vendors and three vendors, respectively, who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no customers who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no vendors, respectively, who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s purchases.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 F-10 

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (consisting of cash, accounts receivables, deposits to credit card processor, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities) are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, which may result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 was effective beginning January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if it had originated the contracts. This is a shift from existing guidance, which required the acquirer to recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at their fair value as of the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided by ASU 2021-08 prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts the guidance in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted ASU 2021-18 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosure.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

3. Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities

 

The Company leases certain corporate office spaces under an operating lease agreement.

 

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the ROU assets were $52,608. In April 2023, Restaurant.com signed a lease for its office located in Schaumberg, Illinois. The lease has a term of 36 months and an average base rent of approximately $7,500 per month. At lease commencement, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $293,798 based upon the present value of all lease payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reflected a decrease in its ROU asset of $82,555, resulting in a ROU asset balance of $263,851 as of September 30, 2023.

 

As of December 31, 2022, operating lease liabilities were $59,328. In April 2023, the Company recorded an operating lease liability of $293,798 as discussed above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made lease payments of $67,026 towards its operating lease liability. As of September 30, 2023, ROU lease liabilities under operating leases totaled $286,100.

Business Overview

 

Restaurant.com is a pioneer in the restaurant deal space and the nation’s largest restaurant-focused digital deals brand. Founded in 1999, we connect digital consumers, businesses, and communities offering dining and merchant deal options nationwide at over 182,500 restaurants and retailers to over 7.8 million customers. Our 12,500 core restaurants and 170,000 Dining Discount Pass restaurants and retailers extend nationwide. Our top three B2C markets are New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

 

We derive our revenue from transactions in which we sell discount certificates for restaurants on behalf of third-party restaurants. Approximately 9-13 days each month we email our customers offers for restaurant discounts based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access our deals directly through our websites and mobile applications. A typical restaurant discount deal might offer a $25 discount that can be used toward a $50 purchase at a restaurant. Additional deals include discounted pricing at theaters, movies or other merchants. Customers purchase restaurant deals from us and redeem them with our merchant partners. We charge, and only collect, a service fee from our customers which allows them to download the discount certificates and redeem them at the restaurant. We receive no revenue or commission from the restaurants offering the discount deals.

 

We derive our revenue from transactions in which we sell complimentary entertainment and travel offerings and consumer products on behalf of third-party merchants. Approximately 9-13 days each month we email our customers offers for discounted experiences and products based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access our deals directly through our websites and mobile applications. Those discounted experiences and products generally involve a customer’s purchase of a voucher through one of our websites that can be redeemed with a third-party merchant for services or goods (or for discounts on services and goods). Revenue from those transactions is reported on a net basis and equals the purchase price received from the customer for the voucher less an agreed upon portion of the purchase price paid by us to our partners.

 

Through our websites, www.restaurant.com, www.specials.restaurant.com, and mobile iOS and Android apps, we provide affordable dining and entertainment experiences. In addition to purchasing restaurant discount certificates, entertainment and travel deals and consumer products as well as company gift card redemption, our website and mobile platform provide additional information to assist the customer and encourage return visits to our websites, including restaurant menus, entrée pricing, mapping and directions, and extensive filtering options, including most popular, cuisine type and “Deals Near Me” for nearby restaurants. Paperless restaurant certificate redemption and validation can also occur on our mobile platforms. During the year ended December 31, 2022 , there were an average of 700,000 unique visitors per month to our digital platforms including our mobile and Specials offerings. Since the launch of our mobile apps in 2012, mobile has grown from zero to 49% of our B2C revenue and over 60% of the B2C orders with over 6.4 million downloads of our apps for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Our B2B sales program has grown significantly since its introduction in 2004 and comprises 50% of revenue.

Agreement and Plan of Merger with CardCash Exchange, Inc.

 

On August 18, 2023, RDE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CardCash Exchange, Inc., (“CardCash”) a leading secondary gift card exchange. RDE, subject to a number of closing conditions, including that it meet the listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, will acquire the business of CardCash for (i) $2,000,000 of which $1,000,000 will be paid at the future closing of the transaction out of existing cash, and $1,000,000 will be paid in the form a promissory note due and payable on the second anniversary of the future closing date, and (ii) the issuance of 6,108,077 restricted shares of RDE’s common stock to the shareholders of CardCash with a fair value on August 18, 2023, of approximately $27.7 million, which would currently represents approximately 37% of RDE’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the future closing of the merger. Following the closing of the CardCash merger, CardCash will become a wholly owned subsidiary of RDE. The acquisition is targeted to close by the end of 2023. This transaction will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged will be recorded at estimated fair values on the date of closing of the acquisition.

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and the related adverse public health developments, have adversely affected work forces, economies and financial markets globally. The outbreak has negatively impacted our revenues as a result of the temporary closures of restaurants throughout the United States where our discount certificates and Discount Dining Passes are accepted and where dining is being restricted to outdoor locations or to capacity constraints for indoor dining. We expect that for the next several months, as the virus continues to limit visits to restaurants and as many prospective patrons choose to order delivery of meals from restaurants or take advantage of picking-up meals from restaurants, to continue to negatively impact our revenues from purchase of our discount certificates, since they can only be redeemed when dining in the restaurants. In addition, our dining certificates are not accepted for payment by third-party platforms that facilitate ordering and delivery of food on-demand. As the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be abating, we expect an improvement in our revenues in fiscal 2023.

 

Inflation

 

Global inflation also increased during 2021 and in 2022. The Russia and Ukraine conflict and other geopolitical conflicts, as well as related international response, have exacerbated inflationary pressures, including causing increases in the price for goods and services and global supply chain disruptions, which have resulted and may continue to result in shortages in food products, materials and services. Such shortages have resulted and may continue to result in inflationary cost increases for labor, fuel, food products, materials and services, and could continue to cause costs to increase as well as result in the scarcity of certain materials. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation or other negative economic factors or associated increases in our operating costs and how that may impact our business. To the extent we and the restaurant customers we service are unable to recover higher operating costs resulting from inflation or otherwise mitigate the impact of such costs on our and their business, our revenues and gross profit could decrease, and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Going Concern

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $2,457,522, utilized cash in operations of $1,001,156, and had a stockholders’ equity of $196,303 as of September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, we had cash of $2,613,868 available to fund its operations, including expansion plans, and to service its debt.

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows during 2022 and 2021. We have financed our working capital requirements through borrowings from various sources and the sale of our equity securities.

 

Our operations have been significantly and negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the uncertain and rapidly evolving nature of current conditions around the world, we are unable to predict accurately the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business going forward. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects to continue to have a significant adverse impact on its business for the duration of the pandemic and during the subsequent economic recovery, which could be for an extended period of time.

As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund its business activities and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability.

 

As market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure additional funds, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, as and when necessary to continue to conduct operations. There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus may have on the Company’s business plans and the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.

 

If the Company is unable to obtain the cash resources necessary to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company could be required to scale back its business activities or to discontinue its operations entirely.

The increase in loss from operations was due to the decrease in revenue offset by the decreased operating expenses discussed above.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

The Company had other expenses of $34,817 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to other income of $1,037,998 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $2,457,572, used cash in operations of $1,001,156, and had a stockholders’ equity of $196,302 at September 30, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued.

 

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funds and implement our business plan. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, has also expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At September 30, 2023, we had cash on hand in the amount of $2,613,868. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing.

 

The Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows as discussed herein are presented below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, , depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded long-term tangible and intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, that impacted our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure control and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the period covered in this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

 9 

 

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Currently, there are no such legal proceeding that are pending against the Company or that involve the Company that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of RDE, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), are unaudited, but in the opinion of management contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. We believe that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2023.

 

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) determined that the Company has only one reporting unit.

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger with CardCash Exchange, Inc.

 

On August 18, 2023, RDE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CardCash Exchange, Inc., (“CardCash”) a leading secondary gift card exchange. RDE, subject to a number of closing conditions, including that it meet the listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, will acquire the business of CardCash for (i) $2,000,000 of which $1,000,000 will be paid at the future closing of the transaction out of existing cash, and $1,000,000 will be paid in the form a promissory note due and payable on the second anniversary of the future closing date, and (ii) the issuance of 6,108,077 restricted shares of RDE’s common stock to the shareholders of CardCash with a fair value on August 18, 2023, of approximately $27.7 million, which would currently represents approximately 37% of RDE’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the future closing of the merger. Following the closing of the CardCash merger, CardCash will become a wholly owned subsidiary of RDE. The acquisition is targeted to close by the end of 2023. This transaction will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged will be recorded at estimated fair values on the date of closing of the acquisition.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $2,457,572 and used cash in operations of $1,001,156. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $2,613,868. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing.

 

COVID-19

 

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic may continue to impact its employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. While the pandemic did not materially affect the Company’s financial results and business operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will make adjustments to its operations as necessary.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in accruals for potential liabilities, redemption rate of promotional gift cards, assumptions used in valuing equity instruments issued for services, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products. Revenue excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes.

 

The Company operates online websites that sell discounted restaurant coupons, travel and vacation packages, and other merchandise. In addition, the Company also generates revenues based upon the number of times a third-party website(s) or products(s) are accessed or viewed by consumers from the Company’s website or platform.

 

Restaurant Coupons revenues

 

Sale of Restaurant Coupons

 

The Company sells discount certificates for restaurants on behalf of third-party restaurants. Approximately 9 to 13 days each month the Company emails its customers offers for restaurant discounts based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access deals offered by the Company directly through the Company’s websites and mobile applications. A typical restaurant discount deal might offer a $25 discount that can be used toward a $50 purchase at a restaurant. The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis upon sale and collection of the restaurant coupons from customers. The Company has no further commitment or obligation to third-party restaurants or the coupon purchasers upon the sale of restaurant coupons and no amounts are due to the third-party restaurants for these sales. Sale of restaurant coupons are generally non-refundable. On an infrequent case-by-case basis, the Company will accept customer’s request to transfer a restaurant coupon from one third-party restaurant to another (for example, upon the closure of a restaurant).

 

 

Sale of Promotional Gift Card Revenue

 

The Company sells Restaurant.com promotional gift cards which can only be redeemed for restaurant coupons offered by the Company on its website. Based on the Company’s historical redemption rates of its promotional gift cards, a portion of the sale of gift card revenue is recorded as deferred revenue liability at the time of sale and recognized as revenue in future periods based on historical redemption trend rates, but no longer than 24 months from the date of sale. The Company continues to review historical promotional gift card redemption information and considers any changes in redemption patterns to assess when revenue is realized. Future redemption rates may be different than our historical experience and subject to inherent uncertainty. If actual redemption activity differs significantly from our historical experience, our deferred revenue and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Travel, Vacation and Merchandise Revenues

 

The Company also derives revenue from transactions in which it sells complementary entertainment and travel offerings and consumer products on behalf of third-party merchants across a wide range of product categories, including, but not limited to, computer products, consumer electronics, apparel, housewares, watches, jewelry, travel, sporting goods, automobiles, home improvement products, and collectibles. Additional deals include discounted pricing at theaters, movies or other merchants. Customers purchase restaurant deals from the Company and redeem them with the Company’s merchant partners. Approximately 9 to 13 days each month the Company emails its customers offers for discounted experiences and products based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access the Company’s deals directly through the Company’s websites and mobile applications. Those discounted experiences and products generally involve a customer’s purchase of a voucher through one of the Company’s websites that can be redeemed with a third-party merchant for services or goods (or for discounts on services and goods). Revenue from those transactions is reported on a net basis and equals the purchase price received from the customer for the voucher less an agreed upon portion of the purchase price paid by the Company to its partners.

 

Advertising Revenues

 

The Company also has agreements with selected third-party partners, such as Google Ads, wherein third-party website(s) and/or product(s) are shown or incorporated in the Company’s platform or website. The Company generates revenues based upon the number of times the third-party website(s) or product(s) are accessed or viewed by consumers from the Company’s platform or website. Revenue is recognized when its determinable, which is generally upon receipt of a statement and/or proceeds from the third-party partners.

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting where the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth and margins, future changes in technology, brand awareness and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which primarily consist of convertible notes and stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share was the same for all periods presented because all convertible notes and stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive.

 

At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the outstanding convertible debt and securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues share-based awards to employees and non-employees and consultants for services rendered. Stock options vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants are measured at the grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the grant date and is generally recognized as a charge to operations ratably over the requisite service, or vesting, period.

 

The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, dividend rate, and a risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, calculated utilizing a look-back period approximately equal to the contractual life of the stock option being granted. The expected life of the stock option is calculated as the mid-point between the vesting period and the contractual term (the “simplified method”).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (consisting of cash, accounts receivables, deposits to credit card processor, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities) are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, which may result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 was effective beginning January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if it had originated the contracts. This is a shift from existing guidance, which required the acquirer to recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at their fair value as of the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided by ASU 2021-08 prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts the guidance in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted ASU 2021-18 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosure.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities

3. Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities

 

The Company leases certain corporate office spaces under an operating lease agreement.

 

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the ROU assets were $52,608. In April 2023, Restaurant.com signed a lease for its office located in Schaumberg, Illinois. The lease has a term of 36 months and an average base rent of approximately $7,500 per month. At lease commencement, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $293,798 based upon the present value of all lease payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reflected a decrease in its ROU asset of $82,555, resulting in a ROU asset balance of $263,851 as of September 30, 2023.

 

As of December 31, 2022, operating lease liabilities were $59,328. In April 2023, the Company recorded an operating lease liability of $293,798 as discussed above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made lease payments of $67,026 towards its operating lease liability. As of September 30, 2023, ROU lease liabilities under operating leases totaled $286,100.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in accruals for potential liabilities, redemption rate of promotional gift cards, assumptions used in valuing equity instruments issued for services, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products. Revenue excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes.

 

The Company operates online websites that sell discounted restaurant coupons, travel and vacation packages, and other merchandise. In addition, the Company also generates revenues based upon the number of times a third-party website(s) or products(s) are accessed or viewed by consumers from the Company’s website or platform.

 

Restaurant Coupons revenues

 

Sale of Restaurant Coupons

 

The Company sells discount certificates for restaurants on behalf of third-party restaurants. Approximately 9 to 13 days each month the Company emails its customers offers for restaurant discounts based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access deals offered by the Company directly through the Company’s websites and mobile applications. A typical restaurant discount deal might offer a $25 discount that can be used toward a $50 purchase at a restaurant. The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis upon sale and collection of the restaurant coupons from customers. The Company has no further commitment or obligation to third-party restaurants or the coupon purchasers upon the sale of restaurant coupons and no amounts are due to the third-party restaurants for these sales. Sale of restaurant coupons are generally non-refundable. On an infrequent case-by-case basis, the Company will accept customer’s request to transfer a restaurant coupon from one third-party restaurant to another (for example, upon the closure of a restaurant).

 

 

Sale of Promotional Gift Card Revenue

 

The Company sells Restaurant.com promotional gift cards which can only be redeemed for restaurant coupons offered by the Company on its website. Based on the Company’s historical redemption rates of its promotional gift cards, a portion of the sale of gift card revenue is recorded as deferred revenue liability at the time of sale and recognized as revenue in future periods based on historical redemption trend rates, but no longer than 24 months from the date of sale. The Company continues to review historical promotional gift card redemption information and considers any changes in redemption patterns to assess when revenue is realized. Future redemption rates may be different than our historical experience and subject to inherent uncertainty. If actual redemption activity differs significantly from our historical experience, our deferred revenue and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Travel, Vacation and Merchandise Revenues

 

The Company also derives revenue from transactions in which it sells complementary entertainment and travel offerings and consumer products on behalf of third-party merchants across a wide range of product categories, including, but not limited to, computer products, consumer electronics, apparel, housewares, watches, jewelry, travel, sporting goods, automobiles, home improvement products, and collectibles. Additional deals include discounted pricing at theaters, movies or other merchants. Customers purchase restaurant deals from the Company and redeem them with the Company’s merchant partners. Approximately 9 to 13 days each month the Company emails its customers offers for discounted experiences and products based on location and personal preferences. Consumers also access the Company’s deals directly through the Company’s websites and mobile applications. Those discounted experiences and products generally involve a customer’s purchase of a voucher through one of the Company’s websites that can be redeemed with a third-party merchant for services or goods (or for discounts on services and goods). Revenue from those transactions is reported on a net basis and equals the purchase price received from the customer for the voucher less an agreed upon portion of the purchase price paid by the Company to its partners.

 

Advertising Revenues

 

The Company also has agreements with selected third-party partners, such as Google Ads, wherein third-party website(s) and/or product(s) are shown or incorporated in the Company’s platform or website. The Company generates revenues based upon the number of times the third-party website(s) or product(s) are accessed or viewed by consumers from the Company’s platform or website. Revenue is recognized when its determinable, which is generally upon receipt of a statement and/or proceeds from the third-party partners.

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting where the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth and margins, future changes in technology, brand awareness and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which primarily consist of convertible notes and stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share was the same for all periods presented because all convertible notes and stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive.

 

At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the outstanding convertible debt and securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues share-based awards to employees and non-employees and consultants for services rendered. Stock options vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants are measured at the grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the grant date and is generally recognized as a charge to operations ratably over the requisite service, or vesting, period.

 

The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, dividend rate, and a risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, calculated utilizing a look-back period approximately equal to the contractual life of the stock option being granted. The expected life of the stock option is calculated as the mid-point between the vesting period and the contractual term (the “simplified method”). The risk-free interest rate is estimated using comparable published federal funds rates.

 

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

 

The Company has marketing relationship agreements with various online companies such as portal networks, contextual sites, search engines and affiliate partners. Advertising costs are generally charged to the Company monthly per vendor agreements, which typically are based on visitors and/or registrations delivered to the site or at a set fee. Agreements do not provide for guaranteed renewal and may be terminated by the Company without cause. Such advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, advertising costs were $165,710 and $247,759, respectively.

 

Customer and Vendor Concentration

Customer and Vendor Concentration

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were two customers and one customer who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were three vendors and three vendors, respectively, who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no customers who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no vendors, respectively, who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s purchases.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (consisting of cash, accounts receivables, deposits to credit card processor, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities) are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, which may result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 was effective beginning January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if it had originated the contracts. This is a shift from existing guidance, which required the acquirer to recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at their fair value as of the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided by ASU 2021-08 prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts the guidance in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted ASU 2021-18 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosure.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
