CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September
30, 2022 (this “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
which statements are subject to considerable risks and
uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are intended to
qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements include all statements that are not statements of
historical facts and can be identified by words such as
“anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,”
“seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the
negatives of those expressions. Forward-looking statements also
include the assumptions underlying or relating to such
statements.
Our
forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current
beliefs, assumptions and expectations about future events and
trends, which affect or may affect our business, strategy,
operations, financial performance or liquidity. Although we believe
these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks
and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently
available to us. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may
impact our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, the following factors:
● our
incursion of significant net losses and uncertainty whether we will
be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations;
● our
ability to continue as a going concern;
● our
ability to grow and compete in the future, and to execute our
business strategy;
● our
ability to maintain and expand our customer base and to convince
our customers to increase the use of our services and/or
platform;
● the
competitive market in which we operate;
● our
ability to increase the number of our strategic relationships and
grow the revenues from our current strategic
relationships;
● our
ability to develop enhancements and new features to our existing
service or acceptable new services that keep pace with
technological developments;
● our
ability to successfully launch new product platforms, including
MARKET.live, the rate of adoption of these platforms and the
revenue generated from these platforms;
● the
novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has had a negative
impact on our business, results of operations and financial
condition;
● our
ability to deliver our services, in light of our dependency on
third-party Internet providers;
● our
ability to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds to
fund our operations and execute our business strategy, and the
impact of these transactions on our business and existing
stockholders;
● our
ability to attract and retain qualified management
personnel;
● our
ability to pay our debt obligations as they become due;
● our
susceptibility to security breaches and other disruptions;
and
●
global economic, political,
and social trends, including inflation, rising interest rates, and
recessionary concerns.
The
foregoing list may not include all of the risk factors that impact
the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report. Our
actual financial condition and results could differ materially from
those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements as a
result of various additional factors, including those discussed in
the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk
Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022
(the “2021 Annual Report”), as well as in the other reports we file
with the SEC. You should read this Quarterly Report and the other
documents we file with the SEC with the understanding that our
actual future results may be materially different from the results
expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.
We
operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties
emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management
to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the
impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual future results
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any
forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to
the extent required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Capital
Market, we undertake no obligation to update or review any
forward-looking statement because of new information, future events
or other factors.
We
qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary
statements.

DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
Our Business
References
in this Quarterly Report to the “Company,” “Verb,” “we,” “us,” or
“our” are to Verb Technology Company, Inc., together with its
consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.
Throughout this Quarterly Report, the terms “client” and “customer”
are used interchangeably.
The
Company is a SaaS applications platform developer. Our platform is
comprised of a suite of interactive video-based sales enablement
business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our
applications, available in both mobile and desktop versions, are
offered as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone
basis, and include verbCRM, our Customer Relationship Management
(“CRM”) application, verbLEARN, our Learning Management System
application, verbLIVE, our Live Stream eCommerce application,
verbPULSE, our business/augmented intelligence notification and
sales coach application, and verbTEAMS, our self-onboarding
video-based CRM and content management application for professional
sports teams, small business and solopreneurs, with seamless
synchronization with Salesforce, that also comes bundled with
verbLIVE, and verbMAIL, our interactive video-based sales
communication tool integrated into Microsoft Outlook. MARKET.live
is our multi-vendor, multi-presenter, livestream social shopping
platform that combines ecommerce and entertainment.
The
Company also provides certain non-digital services to some of its
enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment
services.
Economic Disruption
Our
business is dependent in part on general economic conditions. Many
jurisdictions in which our customers are located and our products
are sold have experienced and could continue to experience
unfavorable general economic conditions, such as inflation,
increased interest rates and recessionary concerns, which could
negatively affect demand for our products. Under difficult economic
conditions, customers may seek to cease spending on our current
products or fail to adopt our new products, which could negatively
affect our financial performance. We cannot predict the timing or
magnitude of an economic slowdown or the timing or strength of any
economic recovery. These and other economic factors could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
COVID-19
As of
the date of this filing, there continues to be concern regarding
the ongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
in the regions in which the Company operates. Although the impacts
of the pandemic on our business have not been material to date, a
prolonged downturn in economic conditions as a result of the
pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our customers and
demand for our products. At this time, it is not possible for the
Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the impacts of the
pandemic, or other outbreaks of communicable diseases, on the
Company’s business, financial condition and results of
operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL
DISCLOSURES
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Annual
Report”). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021
included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements as of that date.
In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary
to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of
operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all
adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature.
Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are
not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Direct,
LLC, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, and verbMarketplace, LLC. All
intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the
consolidation.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a
net loss of $21,391 and used cash in operations of
$15,975. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern within one year after the date these
financial statements were issued. The Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2021, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
On
January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase
agreement (the “January Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone
Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, the
Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the
Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to
$50,000 of newly issued shares
(the “Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the
“Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement,
subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment
is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock
issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to
purchase shares of Common Stock under the January Purchase
Agreement. In connection with the January Purchase Agreement, the
Company is restricted from entering into an agreement to effect any
issuance of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as
defined therein) during the term of the agreement, subject to
certain exceptions set forth therein.
On
January 12, 2022, the Company also entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “January Note Purchase Agreement”) with
three institutional investors (collectively, the “January Note
Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate
original principal amount of $6,300 in convertible
notes due January 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the
“Notes,” and such financing, the “January Note Offering”). The
Company and the January Note Holders also entered into a security
agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the January
Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a security
interest to the January Note Holders in substantially all of its
assets. The January Note Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company
from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common
Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein)
during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set
forth therein.
The January Note Purchase Agreement also gives the January Note
Holders the right to require the Company to use up to 15% of the
gross proceeds raised from future debt or equity financings to
redeem the Notes, which redemptions have been elected by the
January Note Holders as described below.
On
April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase
agreement, which provides for the sale and issuance by the Company
of an aggregate of (i)
14,666,667 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to
purchase 14,666,667 shares of the Common
Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for aggregate
gross proceeds of $11,000 before
deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses
(the “April Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of this
transaction, certain of the Company’s Series A warrants which
previously had exercise prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10
per share had the exercise prices reduced to $0.75
per share. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the
April Registered Direct Offering to repay $1,650
in principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the January
Note Offering.
As of
September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $921.
The Company, through its Professional Employer Organization, filed
for federal government assistance for the second and third quarters
of 2021 in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,500
through Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) provisions of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The purpose of the ERC is
to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if
they are not working during the covered period due to the effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has
yet to receive the funds and accordingly, the condensed
consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effect of this
credit.
Prior to September 30, 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration
(“SBA”) approved an additional loan of $350 which the Company expects to
receive before the end of 2022.
On
October 25, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase
agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”), which provides for
the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of (i)
12,500,000 shares
of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $0.32
per
share, and (ii) warrants to purchase
12,500,000 shares
of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.34
per
share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000
before
deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses
(the “October Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of this
transaction, certain warrants which previously had an exercise
price of $0.75
per
share, had the exercise price reduced to $0.34
per
share. Further, in connection with the October Purchase Agreement,
the Company is restricted from (i) issuing or filing any
registration statement to offer the sale of any Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock until 75 days after the date thereof; and (ii) entering into
an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a
Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of
the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. As
a result of this transaction, the Company paid $1,172
towards
principal and accrued interest on the Notes. The Company and the
January Note Holders also agreed to interest only payments with a
final principal payment of $2,545
due
on the maturity date.
On
November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase
agreement (the “November Note Purchase Agreement”) and promissory
note with an institutional investor (the “November Note Holder”)
providing for the sale and issuance of an unsecured,
non-convertible promissory in the original principal amount of
$5,470, which has an
original issue discount of $470, resulting in gross
proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,000 (the “November Note,” and
such financing, the “November Note Offering”). The November Note matures
eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing six
months from the date of issuance, the Company is required to make
monthly cash redemption payments in an amount not to exceed $600.
The November Note may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the
maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires the
Company to use 20% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity
or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material
asset, to prepay the November Note, subject to a cap on the
aggregate prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the
November Note have been paid in full, the Company is not permitted
to grant a security interest in any of its assets, or to issue
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, subject in each
case to certain exceptions. verbMarketplace, LLC entered into a
guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in connection with the November
Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of
the Company under the November Note in exchange for receiving a
portion of the loan proceeds.
If
the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations to operate its business and pay its debt obligations as
they become due, it will need to seek to raise additional capital,
borrow additional funds, dispose of subsidiaries or assets, reduce
or delay capital expenditures, or change its business strategy.
However, in light of the restrictive covenants imposed by certain
of the Company’s prior financing arrangements, in combination with
the recent decline in the trading price of the Common Stock, the
Company may be unable to raise additional capital in sufficient
amounts when needed to operate its business, service its debt or
execute on its strategic plans. Further, notwithstanding such
restrictions, there can be no assurance that debt or equity
financing will be available in the amounts, on terms, or at times
deemed acceptable by the Company. The issuance of additional equity
securities would result in significant dilution in the equity
interests of the Company’s current stockholders and could include
rights or preferences senior to those of the current stockholders.
Borrowing additional funds would increase the Company’s liabilities
and future cash commitments and potentially impose significant
operational or financial restrictions and require the Company to
further encumber its assets. If the Company is unable to obtain
financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the
Company may be unable to continue to operate its business or pay
its obligations as they become due, and as a result may be required
to curtail or cease operations, which may result in stockholders or
noteholders losing some or all of their investment.
For
additional information, refer to Note 1 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements, and the section titled “Risk
Factors,” within the 2021 Annual Report.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reported periods. Management bases these
estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and
known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to
be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the
potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic
factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and
recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.
Significant
estimates include assumptions made in analysis of reserves for
allowance of doubtful accounts, inventory, assumptions made in
purchase price allocations, impairment testing of long-term assets,
realization of deferred tax assets, determining fair value of
derivative liabilities, and valuation of equity instruments issued
for services. Some of those assumptions can be subjective and
complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from
those estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company derives its revenue
primarily from providing application services through the SaaS
application, digital marketing and sales support
services.
A
description of our principal revenue generating activities is as
follows:
|
1. |
Digital
Revenue which is divided into two main categories: |
|
a. |
SaaS
recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to
Verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM,
verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, and verbPULSE. The revenue is
recognized straight-line over the subscription period. |

|
|
b. |
Non-SaaS,
non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the
use of app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and
other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is
recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are
recognized when the service has been rendered, collectability is
reasonably assured, and the app is delivered to the
customer. |
Subscription
revenue from the application services is recognized over the life
of the estimated subscription period. The Company also charges
certain customers setup or installation fees for the creation and
development of websites and mobile applications. These fees are
accounted for as part of contract liabilities and amortized over
the estimated life of the agreement. Revenue is measured as the
amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for
transferring the products or services to a customer.
|
2. |
Non-digital
revenue, which is revenue generated from non-app, non-digital
sources through ancillary services provided as an accommodation to
clients and customers. These services include design, printing
services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is
recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment
to the customer. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company entered into
a customer referral agreement with a third party for its cart site
and printing business. Under the agreement, the Company earns a
certain percentage for customer referrals and merchandise sales as
well as cart site design fees, all of which will be recognized as
non-digital revenue on a net basis. |
The
non-digital products sold by us are distinctly individual. The
products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there
are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers
to derive the expected value from them. Amounts related to shipping
and handling that are billed to customers are reflected as part of
revenue, and the related costs are reflected in cost of revenue in
the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Historically, we have not experienced any significant payment
delays from customers. The Company allows returns within 30 days of
purchase from end-users. Customers may return purchased products
under certain circumstances. Returns from customers during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were
immaterial.
Revenue
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
were substantially all generated from clients and customers located
within the United States of America, though some utilize the
Company’s applications outside the United States of
America.
Cost
of revenue primarily consists of the salaries of certain employees
and contractors, digital content costs, purchase price of consumer
products, packaging supplies, and customer shipping and handling
expenses. Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are
included in our inventory and recognized as cost of revenue upon
sale of products to our customers.
Contract
Liabilities
Contract
liabilities represent consideration received from customers under
revenue contracts for which the Company has not yet delivered or
completed its performance obligation to the customer. Contract
liabilities are recognized over the contract period.
Capitalized Software
Development Costs
The
Company capitalizes internal and external costs directly associated
with developing internal-use software, and hosting arrangements
that include an internal-use software license, during the
application development stage of its projects. The Company’s
internal-use software is reported at cost less accumulated
amortization. Amortization begins once the project has been
completed and is ready for its intended use. The Company will
amortize the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of three
years, which is the estimated useful life. Software maintenance
activities or minor upgrades are expensed in the period
performed.
Amortization
expense related to capitalized software development costs are
recorded in depreciation and amortization in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and
Intangible Assets
Management reviews goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets
for impairment at least annually or whenever events or
circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Management reviews
all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when
circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be
recoverable.
As of September 30, 2022, management concluded that there were no
impairment indicators. If economic uncertainty increases and/or the
global economy worsens, the Company’s business, financial condition
and results of operations may be sufficiently impacted to result in
future impairment charges in the short-term. Management will
continue to monitor the effects that macroeconomic conditions have
on its business and operations and will review impairment
indicators to the extent necessary in the upcoming months.
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
The
Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 and ASC 825 for
disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial
instruments. FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring
fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a
fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The
three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are
described below:
|
Level
1: |
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
Level
2: |
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level
1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date. |
|
Level
3: |
Pricing
inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by
market data. |
The
carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities,
such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to
their short-term nature. The carrying values of financing
obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the
interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market
interest rates. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation
methodology for derivative financial instruments.
Derivative Financial
Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such
instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as
embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are
accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is
initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification
of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the
end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are
classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as current
or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the
derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the
balance sheet date.
The
Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the
derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by
using a Binomial pricing model. The Company’s derivative
liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end,
with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in
results of operations as adjusted to fair value of
derivatives.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company issues stock options, warrants, shares of common stock and
restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and
non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based
compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation –
Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured
at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award,
and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The
fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the
number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock
and is recognized as expense over the service period. Recognition
of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and
manner as if the Company had paid cash for services.
Net Loss Per
Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss
per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential
shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period.
Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of incremental
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or
conversion.
As of
September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company had total outstanding
options of 5,252,119 and 5,528,405, respectively,
outstanding warrants of 25,651,407 and 11,008,302, respectively,
outstanding restricted stock units of 2,071,849 and 2,109,999, respectively, the
Notes that are convertible into 1,209,610 and
0 shares at
$3.00 per
share, respectively, and convertible notes issued to a related
party that are convertible into 808,900 and
742,278 shares at
$1.03 per
share, respectively, which were all excluded from the computation
of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive due to the
Company’s net loss position during the reported periods.
Concentration of
Credit and Other Risks
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is
deposited with a limited number of financial institutions. The
balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in
excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance
limits of up to $250.
The
Company evaluates the concentration of credit risk associated with
key customers. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we
had one customer that accounted for 11% of our revenues.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had no
customers that accounted for 10% of our revenues.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no
customers that accounted for 10% of our
revenues.
The
Company extends limited credit to customers based on an evaluation
of their financial condition and other factors. The Company
generally does not require collateral or other security to support
accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts and sales credits. The Company believes that any
concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is
substantially mitigated by the Company’s evaluation process,
relatively short collection terms and credit worthiness of its
customers.
As of
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no customers that
accounted for 10% of our
accounts receivable.
The
Company also evaluates the concentration of risk associated with
key vendors. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022, we had two vendors that accounted for 54% and 45% and 11% and 16%, respectively, of
our purchases individually and 65% and 61% in the aggregate.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had two
vendors that accounted for 17% and 31% and 16% and 20%, respectively, of
our purchases individually and 48% and 36% in the aggregate.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had one vendor
that accounted for 42% and 40%, respectively, of
accounts payable.
Reclassification
Adjustment
The
Company reclassified $2,288 from net cash used in
investing activities to net cash used in operating activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This amount is now
reported as accrued software development costs in the supplemental
non-cash investing and financing activities as part of the
supplemental cash flow information.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”)
“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of
accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating
the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result,
a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single
liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other
features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By
removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of
convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest
rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for
convertible instruments will require the Company to use the
if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024,
for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Early
adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021,
including interim periods within that year. Effective January 1,
2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and that adoption did
not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements or the related disclosures.
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic
260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50),
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and
Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):
Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of
Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU
2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s
accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding
equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that
remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer
measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference
between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the
fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or
exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises
four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting
treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination,
debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance
and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for
all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity
should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to
modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective
date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022.
The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related
disclosures.
In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations
(Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract
Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 will
require companies to recognize and measure contract assets and
contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are
acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606.
Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination,
including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from
revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition
date. ASU No. 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording
acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that
would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition
under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.
The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2022 on a
prospective basis and the adoption impact of the new standard will
depend on the magnitude of future acquisitions. The standard will
not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business
combinations occurring prior to the adoption date.
In
November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government
Assistance (Topic 832)—Disclosures by Business Entities about
Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 increases the transparency
of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types
of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and
(3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial
statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1,
2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not
have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements or the related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet
Adopted
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses –
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC
326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will
measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts
and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred
loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies
will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred
losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the
beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is
effective. As a small business filer, ASU 2020-06 will be effective
January 1, 2024, for the Company and the provisions of this update
can be adopted using either the modified retrospective method or a
fully retrospective method. Management is currently assessing the
impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements or the related disclosures.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
In
2020, the Company began developing MARKET.live, a livestream
ecommerce platform, and has capitalized $6,838 and $4,348 of internal and
external development costs as of September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, respectively. In October 2021, the Company entered into a
10-year license and services
agreement with a third party (the “Primary Contractor”) to develop
certain components of MARKET.live. The Primary Contractor’s fees
for developing such components, including the license fee, is
$5,750. The Primary Contractor was paid
an additional $500
bonus in April 2022 for services rendered pursuant to the license
and service agreement. In addition, as of September 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, the Company had paid or accrued $524
and $248,
respectively, of other capitalized software development
costs.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the
Company amortized $394 and
$0,

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

right-of-use assets of $543 and the
corresponding lease liabilities of $521,
resulting in a loss on lease termination of $22.
On
April 26, 2022, the Company entered into an office space sub-lease
agreement. The agreement requires us to pay
$12 per month for an initial term
of eighteen months, which increases by 3% per annum after twelve
months. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a
right-of-use asset and the related lease liability of $212 on the
commencement date of the lease.

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

The
expected life of the warrants was based on the remaining
contractual term of the instruments. The Company uses the
historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future
volatility for its common stock. The expected dividend yield was
based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the
past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. The
risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the
Federal Reserve Bank.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a
gain of $2,360 to account for the
changes in the fair value of these derivative
liabilities.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded
expense of $2,086 to account for the
changes in the fair value of these derivative liabilities. In
addition, 1,829,190
shares of the Series A warrants that were accounted for as a
derivative liability were exercised and 33,334 shares
were forfeited. As a result, the Company computed the fair value of
the corresponding derivative liability one last time which amounted
to $4,513 and the extinguishment
was accounted for as part of equity.

As of
September 30, 2022, the intrinsic value of the outstanding options
was $19.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted stock
options to certain employees and consultants to purchase a total of
2,741,555 shares of common
stock for services rendered or to be rendered. The options have an
average exercise price of $1.06
per share, terms between one and five years, and vest between zero
and four years from the respective grant dates. The total grant
date fair value of these options was approximately $2,622 using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The total share-based
compensation expense recognized relating to the vesting of stock
options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was
$387 and $1,292, respectively. As of
September 30, 2022, the remaining share-based compensation expense
associated with previously issued stock options was $2,793,
which will be recognized in future periods as the options
vest.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a total of 332,730 stock options were
exercised. As a result of the exercise of the option, the Company
issued 332,730 shares of common stock
and received cash of $377.
The
grant date fair value of option awards is estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following
assumptions:

The

in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the
expected term of the share option award; the expected term
represents the weighted-average period of time that option awards
are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting
schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the
expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the
Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on
the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and
does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

In
connection with the April Registered Direct Offering on April 20,
2022, the Company issued 14,666,667 warrants to purchase
common stock with a vesting period of six months and an exercise
price of $0.75. As a result of the April
Registered Direct Offering, 3,704,826 warrants outstanding
as of January 1, 2022, with exercise prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10 per share, had the exercise
prices reduced to $0.75 per share. The change
in fair value of such warrants as a result of the new exercise
price is approximately $200 and the Company accounted
for this change as part of the change in fair value of derivative
liability (see Note 8). In October 2022, the Company entered into
the October Purchase Agreement and as a result of this transaction,
certain warrants which previously had an exercise price of
$0.75 per share had
the exercise price reduced to $0.34
per share (see Note 14). As of September 30, 2022, the intrinsic
value of the outstanding warrants was $0.

COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The
Company is currently in a dispute with a former employee of its
predecessor bBooth, Inc. who has interposed a breach of contract
claim in which he alleges that he is entitled to approximately
$300 in unpaid
bonus compensation from 2015. This former employee filed his
complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los
Angeles on November 20, 2019, styled Meyerson v. Verb Technology
Company, Inc., et al. (Case No. 19STCV41816). The Company does
not believe the former employee’s claims have any merit as they are
contradicted by documentary evidence, and barred by the applicable
statute of limitations, and barred by a release. On February 9,
2021, the former employee’s counsel filed a motion for summary
judgment, or in the alternative, summary adjudication against the
Company. On October 13, 2021, the court issued an order (i) denying
the former employee’s motion for summary judgment, (ii) partly
granting the former employee’s motion for summary adjudication, and
(iii) partly denying the former employee’s motion for summary
adjudication. The court has set a trial date of December 28, 2022.
The Company believes the resolution of this matter will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company or its
operations.

b. |
Legal
Malpractice Action |
The
Company is currently in a dispute with Baker Hostetler LLP (“BH”)
relating to corporate legal services provided by BH to the Company.
The Company filed its complaint in the Superior Court of California
for the County of Los Angeles on May 17, 2021, styled Verb
Technology Company, Inc. v. Baker Hostetler LLP, et al. (Case
No. 21STCV18387). The Company’s complaint arises from BH’s alleged
legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duties owed to the Company,
breach of contract, and violations of California’s Business and
Professions Code Section 17200 et seq. The Company is seeking,
amongst other things, compensatory damages from BH. On October 5,
2021, BH filed a cross-complaint against the Company alleging,
amongst other things, that the Company owes it approximately
$915 in legal fees. The Company disputes
owing this amount to BH. The Company believes that the resolution
of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company or its operations.

c. |
Dispute
with Warrant Holder |
The
Company is currently in a dispute with Iroquois Capital Investment
Group LLC and Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd (collectively, “Iroquois”)
relating to a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) entered
between the Company, Iroquois and certain other investors. The
Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of New York for the
County of New York on April 6, 2022, styled Verb Technology
Company, Inc. v. Iroquois Capital Investment Group LLC, et al.
(Index No. 651708/2022). The Company’s complaint seeks a judicial
declaration of its duties and obligations under the SPA. On May 5,
2022, Iroquois filed counterclaims against the Company for
declaratory relief, breach of contract, and breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing relating to the SPA.
Iroquois alleges damages of $1,500. The
Company disputes Iroquois’ counterclaims and damages allegations.
The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims and to
vigorously defend itself against the counterclaims. The Company
believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company or its
operations.
From
time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal
proceedings, disputes or claims arising from or related to the
normal course of its business activities. Although the results of
legal proceedings, disputes and other claims cannot be predicted
with certainty, the Company believes it is not currently a party to
any other legal proceedings, disputes or claims which, if
determined adversely to the Company, would, individually or taken
together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
operating results, financial condition or cash flows. However,
regardless of the merit of the claims raised or the outcome, legal
proceedings may have an adverse impact on the Company as a result
of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management time and
resources, and other factors.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 14, 2022,
the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were
issued. There were no material events or transactions that require
disclosure in the financial statements other than the items
discussed below.
Equity Financing
Subsequent
to September 30, 2022, the Company issued
867,741 shares and received $302 of net proceeds associated with
at-the-market (“ATM”) issuances.
On
October 25, 2022, the Company entered into the October Purchase
Agreement, which provides for the sale and issuance by the Company
of an aggregate of (i) 12,500,000 shares of Common
Stock, at a purchase price of $0.32 per share, and (ii) warrants to
purchase 12,500,000 shares of the common
stock at an exercise price of $0.34 per share, for
aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000 before
deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses.
As a result of this transaction, certain warrants which previously
had an exercise price of $0.75 per share had the
exercise price reduced to $0.34 per
share.
In addition, the Company paid $1,172 towards
principal and accrued interest on the Notes. The Company and the
January Note Holders also agreed to interest only payments with a
final principal payment of $2,545 due
on the maturity date.
Debt Financing
Subsequent
to September 30, 2022, the Company received secured advances from
an unaffiliated third party totaling $225 for the purchase of
future receipts/revenues of $322. In connection with
the secured advance, the Company paid $11 of debt issuance
costs which will be amortized over the term using the effective
interest rate method.
On
November 7, 2022, the Company entered into the November Note
Purchase Agreement with the November Note Holder providing for the
sale and issuance of an unsecured, non-convertible promissory note
in the original principal amount of $5,470, which has an
original issue discount of $470, resulting in gross
proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,000. The November Note matures
eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing six
months from the date of issuance, the Company is required to make
monthly cash redemption payments in an amount not to exceed $600.
The November Note may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the
maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires the
Company to use 20% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity
or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material
asset, to prepay the November Note, subject to a cap on the
aggregate prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the
November Note have been paid in full, the Company is not permitted
to grant a security interest in any of its assets, or to issue
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, subject in each
case to certain exceptions. verbMarketplace, LLC entered into a
guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in connection with the November
Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of
the Company under the November Note in exchange for receiving a
portion of the loan proceeds.
Issuance of Common Stock
Subsequent
to September 30, 2022, the Company issued
187,523 shares
of common stock to vendors for services rendered with a grant date
fair value of $64.
These shares of common stock were valued based on the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance or the date
the Company entered into the agreement related to the
issuance.
Subsequent
to September 30, 2022, the Company issued 6,185
shares of common stock to certain employees associated with the
vesting of restricted stock units.
Issuances of Stock Options
Subsequent
to September 30, 2022, the Company granted stock options to certain
employees to purchase a total of
32,000stock
options for services to be rendered. The options have an average
exercise price of $0.38per
share, expire in
five years, and
vest
four years from
grant date. The total grant date fair value of these options was
$8based
on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Other
On November 9, 2022, the Company received a written notification
from the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications Staff (the
“Staff”) indicating that the Company has been granted an additional
180-calendar-day period, or until May 8, 2023, to regain compliance
with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price
requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market
pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Minimum Bid
Price Requirement”).
Nasdaq’s determination was based on (i) the Company having met the
continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held
shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on
the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the sole exception of the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the Company’s written notice to
Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the
compliance period, including by potentially effecting a reverse
stock split if necessary. If, at any time during this
additional compliance period, the closing bid price of the Common
Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of
ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written
confirmation of compliance. If compliance cannot be
demonstrated by May 8, 2023, the Staff will provide written
notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted,
provided that the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a
Hearings Panel of Nasdaq at that time.
The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock
and will consider various options to regain compliance with the
Minimum Bid Price Requirement before May 8, 2023.
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and
financial condition of our company for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and the
other financial information that are included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion includes
forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that
involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives,
expectations, and intentions. Forward-looking statements are
statements not based on historical fact and which relate to future
operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments.
Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and
assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to
business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and
contingencies can cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on
our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking
statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors. We use words such as
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,”
“ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,”
“could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking
statements.

“our” are to Verb Technology Company, Inc. together with its
consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise
requires.
Overview
We
are a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) applications platform
developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of interactive
video-based sales enablement business software products marketed on
a subscription basis. Our applications, available in both mobile
and desktop versions, are offered as a fully integrated suite, as
well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM, our Customer
Relationship Management (“CRM”) application, verbLEARN, our
Learning Management System application, verbLIVE, our Live Stream
eCommerce application, verbPULSE, our business/augmented
intelligence notification and sales coach application, and
verbTEAMS, our self-onboarding video-based CRM and content
management application for professional sports teams, small
business and solopreneurs, with seamless synchronization with
Salesforce, that also comes bundled with verbLIVE, and verbMAIL,
our interactive video-based sales communication tool integrated
into Microsoft Outlook. MARKET.live is our multi-vendor,
multi-presenter, livestream social shopping platform, that combines
ecommerce and entertainment.
Our Technology
Our
suite of applications can be distinguished from other sales
enablement applications because our applications utilize our
proprietary interactive video technology as the primary means of
communication between sales and marketing professionals and their
customers and prospects. Moreover, the proprietary data collection
and analytics capabilities of our applications inform our users on
their devices in real time, when and for how long their prospects
have watched a video, how many times such prospects watched it, and
what they clicked on, which allows our users to focus their time
and efforts on ‘hot leads’ or interested prospects rather than on
those that have not seen such video or otherwise expressed interest
in such content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using
familiar, intuitive ‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation.
Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a much more
efficient and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales
conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending
interactive video technology, as well as several other
patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the
unique foundation for all our platform applications.
Our Products
verbCRM
combines the capabilities of CRM lead-generation, content
management, and in-video ecommerce capabilities in an intuitive,
yet powerful tool for both inexperienced as well as highly skilled
sales professionals. verbCRM allows users to quickly and easily
create, distribute, and post videos to which they can add a choice
of on-screen clickable icons which, when clicked, allow viewers to
respond to the user’s call-to-action in real-time, in the video,
while the video is playing, without leaving or stopping the video.
For example, our technology allows a prospect or customer to click
on a product they see featured in a video and impulse buy it, or to
click on a calendar icon in the video to make an appointment with a
salesperson, among many other features and functionalities designed
to eliminate or reduce friction from the sales process for our
users. The verbCRM app is designed to be easy to use and navigate
and takes little time and training for a user to begin using the
app effectively. It usually takes less than four minutes for a
novice user to create an interactive video from our app. Users can
add interactive icons to pre-existing videos, as well as to newly
created videos shot with practically any mobile device. verbCRM
interactive videos can be distributed via email, text messaging,
chat app, or posted to popular social media directly and easily
from our app. No software download is required to view Verb
interactive videos on virtually any mobile or desktop device,
including smart TVs.
verbLEARN
is an interactive, video-based learning management system that
incorporates all of the clickable in-video technology featured in
our verbCRM application and adapts them for use by educators for
video-based education. verbLEARN is used by enterprises seeking to
educate a large sales team or a customer base about new products,
or elicit feedback about existing products. It also incorporates
Verb’s proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities that
inform users in real time when and for how long the viewers watched
the video, how many times they watched it, and what they clicked
on, in addition to adding gamification features that enhance the
learning aspects of the application.
verbLIVE
is a next-generation interactive live-stream platform with in-video
ecommerce capabilities for sales reps that allows them to utilize a
variety of novel sales-driving features, including placing
interactive icons on-screen that appear on the screens of all
viewers, providing in-video click-to-purchase capabilities for
products or services featured in the live video broadcast, in
real-time, driving friction-free selling. verbLIVE also provides
the sales reps with real-time viewer engagement data and
interaction analytics. verbLIVE is entirely browser-based, allowing
it to function easily and effectively on all devices without
requiring the host or the viewers to download software, and is
secured through end-to-end encryption.
verbPULSE
is a business/augmented intelligence notification-based sales
enablement platform feature set that tracks users’ interactions
with current and prospective customers and then helps coach users
by telling them what to do next in order to close the sale,
virtually eliminating the lack of skill, training and experience
among sales reps from the selling process.
verbTEAMS
is our interactive, video-based CRM for professional sports teams,
small-and medium-sized businesses and solopreneurs. verbTEAMS also
incorporates verbLIVE as a bundled application. verbTEAMS features
self-sign-up, self-onboarding, self-configuring, content management
system capabilities, user level administrative capabilities, and
high-quality analytics capabilities in both mobile and desktop
platforms that sync with one another. It also has a built-in
one-click sync capability with Salesforce.
MARKET.live
is akin to a virtual shopping mall, a centralized online
destination where shoppers could explore hundreds, and over time
thousands, of shoppable stores for their favorite brands,
influencers, creators and celebrities, all of whom can host
livestream shopping events from their virtual stores that can be
seen by all shoppers at the virtual mall. Every store operator can
host livestream events, even simultaneously, and over time we
expect there will be thousands of such events, across numerous
product and service categories, being hosted by people from all
over the world, always on – 24/7 - where shoppers could communicate
with the hosts and ask questions about products directly to the
host in real-time through an on-screen chat visible to all
shoppers. Shoppers can invite their friends and family to join them
at any of the live shopping events to share the experience - to
communicate directly with each other in real time, and then simply
click on a non-intrusive - in-video overlay to place items in an
on-screen shopping cart for purchase – all without interrupting the
video. Shoppers can visit any number of other shoppable events to
meet up and chat with friends, old and new, and together watch,
shop and chat with the hosts, discover new products and services,
and become part of an immersive entertaining social shopping
experience. Throughout the experience, the shopping cart follows
shoppers seamlessly from event to event, shoppable video to
shoppable video, host to host, product to product.
The
MARKET.live business model is a simple but next-level B to B play.
It is a multi-vendor platform, with a single follow-me style
unified shopping cart, and robust ecommerce capabilities with the
tools for consumer brands, big box brick and mortar stores,
boutiques, influencers and celebrities to connect with their
clients, customers, fans, followers, and prospects by providing a
unique, interactive social shopping experience that we believe
could keep them coming back and engaged for hours.
A big
differentiator for MARKET.live is that it also provides an online
meeting place for friends and family to meet, chat, shop and enjoy
a fun, immersive shopping experience in real time together from
anywhere and everywhere in the world. MARKET.live will provide
vendors with extensive business building analytics capabilities not
available on, and not shared by many operators of other social
media sites who regard that information as valuable proprietary
property. All vendors on MARKET.live will retain this valuable
intelligence for their own, unlimited use.
MARKET.live
allows vendors an opportunity to reach not only the shoppers they
invite to the site from their own client and contact lists, but
also those shoppers who came to the site independently who will
discover these vendors as they browse through the many other
shoppable events hosted simultaneously on MARKET.live 24/7, from
around the world. We believe our revenue model will be attractive
to vendors and will consist of SaaS recurring revenue as well as a
share of revenue generated through sales on the
platform.
MARKET.live
is simply a platform; we hold no inventory, we take no inventory
risk, and each vendor manages their own packing and fulfillment, as
well as returns. Only vendors that have a demonstrated ability to
manage inventory and fulfillment are selected to participate on
MARKET.live.
As we
continue onboarding vendors to the platform, we are seeing
increased interest from product manufacturers seeking to embrace
MARKET.live’s direct-to-consumer selling capabilities, cutting-out
distribution channel partners in order to reduce costs and increase
profitability. As the economy tightens, we expect that trend to
accelerate.
MARKET.live
will also incorporate a modified version of our verbLIVE
Attribution technology, allowing vendors who so choose, to leverage
extremely powerful, built-in affiliate marketing capabilities.
Non-vendor visitors to the site can search for those vendors that
have activated the built-in affiliate marketing feature for their
events and be compensated when people they referred to that vendor,
purchase products or services during that vendor’s shopping event.
We expect that this feature, unique to MARKET.live, will drive many
more shoppers who will be referred from all over the world,
producing a cross-pollination effect enhancing the revenue
opportunities for all MARKET.live vendors, while also creating an
attractive income generating opportunity for non-vendor MARKET.live
patrons.
MARKET.live
is an entirely new platform, built wholly independently and
separate from our verbLIVE sales platform, representing what we
believe is the state of the art of shoppable video technology.
Whereas verbLIVE is a sales tool for sales reps that subscribe
either directly or through their principal to verbCRM or verbTEAMS,
MARKET.live is a multivendor social shopping platform for
retailers, brands, manufacturers, creators and influencers who seek
to participate in an open market-style eco-system environment. More
recently, we are beginning to see interest from existing verbLIVE
clients who see the value of MARKET.live as a corporate
communications tool for use in sales, marketing, lead-generation,
training and recruitment initiatives.
We
recently launched our “Creators on MARKET,” a new program that
allows creators to monetize their content through livestream
shopping and personalized storefronts on MARKET.live. The program
is being marketed to video content creators across multiple social
media channels. Through this new program, creators and influencers
can choose the products they love from hundreds of brands and
retailers on MARKET.live and offer their fans and followers those
products through livestream shopping events broadcast live on
MARKET.live and simulcast on the creators’ existing social
platforms. They can also offer their favorite products through the
Creators’ personally branded storefronts they can establish quickly
and easily on MARKET.live. Depending on the products chosen,
Creators can earn between 5% and 20% of their gross sales at no
cost and no risk to the Creators selected to participate in the
program.
With
more than 12 million products from brands like Athleta, Best Buy,
Target, Container Store, Banana Republic, GAP, Saks Off 5th,
SSENSE, LOFT, DERMSTORE, INTERMIX, UNCOMMON GOODS, and many more,
Creators can choose to feature their favorite products and promote
and sell them to their fans and followers. All MARKET.live events
are interactive so followers and fans can chat with the Creators in
real time, as well as with one another, creating a more
entertaining and engaging social shopping experience. When their
interest level peaks, Creators’ fans and followers can click on the
screen to buy the products. Creators accepted into the program are
not required to make any investment in inventory, nor do they have
the burden of managing fulfillment or shipping. The only
requirement for them to remain in the program is for them to
continue to create and promote the same videos they’re already
doing on YouTube and elsewhere online. Livestream events are
recorded and available to watch in the Creators’ personally branded
stores on MARKET.live for those fans and followers to return 24/7
after the livestream events to browse and purchase the Creators’
featured products, as the recorded livestream videos remain
shoppable.
verbTV
will launch as a feature of our MARKET.live platform, serving to
draw an audience of people seeking to consume video content that is
also interactive and shoppable. We expect this additional audience
will also be exposed to and enhance the eco-system of shoppers and
retailers on MARKET.live. Over time it is anticipated that verbTV
will feature concerts, game shows, sports, including e-sports,
sitcoms, podcasts, special events, news, including live events, and
other forms of video entertainment that is all interactive and
shoppable. verbTV represents an entirely new distribution channel
for all forms of content by a new generation of content creators
looking for greater freedom to explore the creative possibilities
that a native interactive video platform can provide for their
audience. We believe content creators may also enjoy greater
revenue opportunities through the native ecommerce capabilities the
platform provides to sponsors and advertisers who will enjoy
real-time monetization, data collection and analytics. Through
verbTV, sponsors and advertisers will be able to accurately measure
the ROI from their marketing spend, instead of relying on imprecise
viewership information traditionally offered to television sponsors
and advertisers.
Verb Partnerships and Integrations
verbMAIL
for Microsoft Outlook and Saleforce Integration of verbLIVE and
verbTEAMS. verbMAIL is a product of our partnership with
Microsoft and is available as an add-in to Microsoft Outlook for
Outlook and Office 365 subscribers. verbMAIL allows users to create
interactive videos seamlessly within Outlook by clicking the
verbMAIL icon in the Outlook toolbar. The videos are automatically
added to an email and can be sent easily through Outlook using the
user’s contacts they already have in Outlook. The application
allows users to easily track viewer engagement and together with
other features represents an effective sales tool available for all
Outlook users worldwide. We have completed and deployed the
integration of verbLIVE into Salesforce and have a verbTEAMS sync
application for Salesforce users. To date, adoption of these
products has been low due in large part to management’s decision to
reduce and deploy development and marketing resources to other
areas of the Company’s business that it believes can generate a

Enterprise Back-Office System Integrations. We have integrated
verbCRM into systems offered by 19 of the most popular direct sales
back-office system providers, such as Direct Scale, Exigo, By
Design, Thatcher, Multisoft, Xennsoft, and Party Plan. Direct sales
back-office systems provide many of the support functions required
for direct sales operations, including payroll, customer genealogy
management, statistics, rankings, and earnings, among other direct
sales financial tracking capabilities. The integration into these
back-office providers, facilitated through our own API development,
allows single sign-on convenience for users, as well as enhanced
data analytics and reporting capabilities for all users. Our
experience confirms that our integration into these back-end
platforms accelerates the adoption of verbCRM by large direct sales
enterprises that rely on these systems and as such, we believe this
represents a competitive advantage.
Non-Digital Products and Services
Historically,
we provided certain non-digital services to some of our enterprise
clients such as printing and fulfillment services. We designed and
printed welcome kits and starter kits for their marketing needs and
provided fulfillment services, which consisted of managing the
preparation, handling and shipping of our client’s custom-branded
merchandise they use for marketing purposes at conferences and
other events. Due to COVID-19, we experienced a marked decline in
non-digital services and associated revenue, as reflected in our
current and historical financial statements, as our clients reduced
or eliminated in-person conferences and other events. This
reduction in non-digital services was nevertheless consistent with
management’s strategy to exit this area of our business due to the
low margin, high costs and limited scalability of this component of
our business.
In
furtherance of the strategy, in May 2020, we executed a contract
with Range Printing (“Range”), a company in the business of
providing enterprise class printing, sample assembly, warehousing,
packaging, shipping, and fulfillment services. Pursuant to the
contract, through an automated process we have established for this
purpose, Range receives orders for samples and merchandise from us
as and when we receive them from our clients and users, and print,
assemble, store, package and ship such samples and merchandise on
our behalf. The Range contract provides for a service fee
arrangement based upon the specific services to be provided by
Range that is designed to maintain our relationship with our
clients by continuing to service their non-digital needs, while
eliminating the labor and overhead costs associated with the
provision of such services by us. Effective April 1, 2022, we
expanded our relationship with Range when we entered into a
customer referral agreement with them for our cart site and
printing business. Under the agreement, we earn 10% commission for
customers referrals, 8% on merchandise sales and certain cart site
design fees which will all be recognized as non-digital revenue.
Prior to entering into such agreement, we were recognizing revenues
and cost of revenues associated with the non-digital business in
the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For
these reasons, management has suggested that a more accurate
measure of our performance is the historical growth of our SaaS and
digital business and associated revenue, which has been the focus
of our initiatives, while we have continued to exit the low margin,
non-digital business. While the SaaS and digital business has grown
year over year, that growth is not readily apparent when analyzing
our top-line revenue because the total revenue represents the
growing SaaS and digital business upon which we are focused,
off-set by the declining non-digital business we are intentionally
exiting.
Our Market
Historically,
our client base consisted primarily of multi-national direct sales
enterprises to whom we provide white-labeled, client-branded
versions of our products. During the year ended December 31, 2021,
our client base expanded to include large enterprises in the life
sciences sector, professional sports franchises, educational
institutions, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as clients
in the entertainment industry, and the burgeoning CBD industry,
among other business sectors. As of September 30, 2022, we provided
subscription-based application services to approximately 150
enterprise clients for use in over 100 countries and in over 48
languages. Since inception, we have had more than 3.4 million
downloads of our verbCRM applications across all of the
white-labelled versions created for clients on our
platform.
Revenue Generation
A
description of our principal revenue generating activities is as
follows:
|
1. |
Digital
Revenue which is divided into two main categories: |
|
a. |
SaaS
recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to
our Verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM,
verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbPULSE, and verbTEAMs. The revenue is
recognized over the subscription period. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
Non-SaaS,
non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the
use of app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and
other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is
recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are
recognized when the service has been rendered, collectability is
reasonably assured, and the app is delivered to the
customer. |
|
2. |
Non-digital
revenue, is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital sources
through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation to our
clients and customers. These services include design, printing,
fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon
completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to customers.
Effective April 1, 2022, we entered into a customer referral
agreement with Range for our cart site and printing business. Under
the agreement, we earn 10% commission for customer referrals and 8%
on merchandize sales and certain cart site design fees, all of
which are recognized as non-digital revenue on a net
basis. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
MARKET.live,
launched at the end of July 2022, generates revenue through several
sources as follows: |
|
a. |
All
sales run through our ecommerce facility on MARKET.live from which
we deduct a platform fee that ranges from 10% to 35% of gross
sales, with an average of approximately 15%, depending upon the
pricing package the vendors select as well as the product category
and profit margins associated with such categories. The revenue is
derived from sales generated during livestream events, from sales
realized through views of previously recorded live events available
in each vendor’s store, as well as from sales of product and
merchandise displayed in the vendors’ online stores, all of which
are shoppable 24/7. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
Produced
events. MARKET.live offers fee-based services that range from full
production of livestream events, to providing professional hosts
and event consulting. |
|
|
|
|
c. |
The
MARKET.live site is designed to incorporate sponsorships and other
advertising based on typical industry rates. |
Economic Disruption and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Our
business is dependent in part on general economic conditions. Many
jurisdictions in which our customers are located and our products
are sold have experienced and could continue to experience
unfavorable general economic conditions, such as inflation,
increased interest rates and recessionary concerns, which could
negatively affect demand for our products. Under difficult economic
conditions, customers may seek to cease spending on our current
products or fail to adopt our new products. We cannot predict the
timing or impact of an economic slowdown, or the timing or strength
of any economic recovery. These and other economic factors could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Governments
and businesses around the world continue to take actions to
mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. Uncertainty with
respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced
significant volatility in the financial markets.
Despite
increased vaccine distribution programs and loosening of COVID-19
related restrictions in the regions in which we operate during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, both the pandemic
and ongoing containment and mitigation measures have had, and are
likely to continue to have, an adverse impact on the global and
U.S. economies, the severity and duration of which are uncertain.
As such, our business, operations and financial condition has been,
and we anticipate will continue to be, adversely impacted by
reduced demand for our applications and non-digital services, as
well as reduced access to capital. To mitigate the adverse impact
COVID-19 may have on our business and operations, we implemented a
number of measures to strengthen our financial position, including
eliminating, reducing, or deferring non-essential expenditures.
However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our
business, financial conditions, and results of operations in the
future remains uncertain and will be affected by a number of
factors, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the
emergence of variants to COVID-19 the duration and extent of
imposed or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the
extent, duration, and effective execution of government
stabilization and recovery efforts, including those from the
successful distribution of effective vaccines.
The
COVID-19 pandemic may have long-term effects on the nature of the
office environment and remote working. This may present operational
and workplace culture challenges that may adversely affect our
business. Throughout the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022, we have encouraged safe practices designed to stem the
infection and spread of COVID-19 within our workforce and beyond
and to maintain the mental health and well-being of our
employees.
We
continue to actively communicate with and listen to our customers
to ensure we are responding to their needs in the current
environment with innovative solutions that will not only be
beneficial now but also over the long-term. We monitor developments
related to COVID-19 and remain flexible in our response to the
challenges presented by the pandemic.

Revenue
Our
SaaS recurring subscription revenue as a percentage of total
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was 85%,
compared to 64% for the three months ended September 30,
2021.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2022, our total digital
revenue was 92% of total revenue compared with 81% for the three
months ended September 30, 2021. Total digital revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.0 million, a decrease
of 14% compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021. SaaS recurring subscription-based revenue
associated with our verbCRM, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, verbLEARN, and
verbPULSE applications totaled $1.9 million, compared to $1.8
million reported for the three months ended September 30,
2021.
Total
non-digital revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022,
was $0.2 million, a decrease of 69% compared to $0.5 million
reported for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which is
consistent with the Company’s strategy to exit the low margin
printing, fulfillment, and shipping aspects of the legacy business
to focus on digital revenue streams.
The
table below sets forth our quarterly revenues from the three months
ended September 30, 2020 through the three months ended September

Cost of Revenue
Total
cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was
$0.7 million, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021, reflecting a 32% decline. The decrease in cost
of revenue is primarily attributed to a decrease in non-digital
costs partially offset by increased digital costs to support
additional enterprise customers on the platform and increased users
within our existing customer base.
Gross Margin
Total
gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was
$1.5 million, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021, representing a decline in our other digital and
non-digital revenues. For the three months ended September 30,
2022, our digital gross margin was 71% and non-digital gross margin
was 9%. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue improved as a
result of our strategy to focus on higher margin digital revenue
and systematic reduction in non-digital revenue.
Operating Expenses
Research
and development expenses were $1.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $3.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a 61% reduction.
Research and development expenses primarily consisted of sums paid
to employees and vendors contracted to perform research projects
and develop technology. As our products move from research and
development stage to operating stage, we expect our research and
development cost reductions to continue, as experienced during the
three months ended September 30, 2022.
Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $0.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $0.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is attributed to amortization of capitalized software
development costs associated with our MARKET.live
platform.
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2022, were $7.0 million as compared to $6.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily
due to MARKET.live costs of $1.1 million which includes $0.4
million for professional services, $0.4 million for other
MARKET.live related cost, and $0.2 million for labor costs.
Excluding MARKET.live costs, our general and administrative
expenses decreased by $0.3 million or 4% on a quarter over quarter
basis.
Other
expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was
$0.4 million, which was primarily attributable to interest expense
of $0.6 million, offset by a decrease in the change in the fair
value of derivative liability of $0.2 million.

Revenue
SaaS
recurring subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 80%, compared to 63%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our total digital revenue
was 87% of total revenue compared with 76% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021. Total digital revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 was $6.3 million, an increase of 6%
compared to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2021. The increase was primarily driven from SaaS recurring
subscription-based revenue associated with our verbCRM, verbLIVE,
verbTEAMS, verbLEARN, and verbPULSE applications totaling $5.8
million, an increase of 19% compared to $4.9 million reported for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Total
non-digital revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
was $1.0 million compared to $1.9 million, a decrease of 49%
reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which is
consistent with the Company’s strategy to exit the low margin
printing, fulfillment, and shipping aspects of the legacy business
to focus on digital revenue streams.
Cost of Revenue
Total
cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was
$2.5 million, compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, reflecting a 26% decrease. The decrease in cost
of revenue is primarily attributed to a decrease in non-digital
costs partially offset by increased digital costs to support
additional enterprise customers on the platform and increased users
within our existing customer base.
Gross Margin
Total
gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $4.7
million, compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, representing an 8% improvement. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, our digital gross margin was 72%
and non-digital gross margin was 16%. Gross margins improved as a
result of our strategy to focus on higher margin digital revenue
and systematic reduction in non-digital revenue.
Operating Expenses
Research
and development expenses were $4.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $9.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a 55% reduction.
Research and development expenses primarily consisted of sums paid
to employees and vendors contracted to perform research projects
and develop technology. As our products move from research and
development stage to operating stage, we expect our research and
development cost reductions to continue, as experienced during the
nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $1.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $1.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is attributed to amortization of our capitalized
software development costs associated with our MARKET.live
platform.
General
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2022, were $20.6 million, as compared to $20.0 million for the same
period in 2021, representing a 3% increase. This increase was
primarily due to MARKET.live costs of $1.6 million, which includes
$0.6 million of labor costs, $0.5 million for professional
services, and $0.5 million of other MARKET.live related expenses.
Excluding MARKET.live costs, our general and administrative
expenses decreased by $1.1 million year over year or 5%.
Other
income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $0.4
million, which was primarily attributable to a change in the fair
value of derivative liability of $2.4 million, offset by interest
expense of $2.0 million.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures – Modified EBITDA
In
addition to our results under generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), we present Modified EBITDA as a supplemental
measure of our performance. However, Modified EBITDA is not a
recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as
an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other
performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. We define Modified EBITDA as net income (loss), plus
depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation
expense, interest expense, change in fair value of derivative
liability, other (income) expense, debt extinguishment costs, net,
MARKET.live startup costs, and other non-recurring
charges.
Management
considers our core operating performance to be that which our
managers can affect in any particular period through their
management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and
profit generating operations that period. Non-GAAP adjustments to
our results prepared in accordance with GAAP are itemized below.
You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we
consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating
Modified EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may
incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the
adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Modified
EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future
results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring
items.

Includes general and administrative and R&D expenses that are
directly related to the launch of our MARKET.live platform and are
not expected to be recurring in future periods.
The
$1.7 million or 25% increase in Modified EBITDA for the three
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in
2021, resulted from decreases in cost of revenue and research and
development costs, offset by an increase in labor related costs to
support future growth.
The
$4.9 million or 24% increase in Modified EBITDA for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021,
resulted from increased revenues, decreases in cost of revenue,
research and development, and professional services, offset by an
increase in labor related costs to support future
growth.
We
present Modified EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and
analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a
consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are
indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use
Modified EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and
strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business
strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; and in making
compensation decisions and in communications with our board of
directors concerning our financial performance. Modified EBITDA has
limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others,
the following:
|
● |
Modified
EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future
requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Modified
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our
working capital needs; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Modified
EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments,
on our debts; and |
|
● |
Although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in
the future, and Modified EBITDA does not reflect any cash
requirements for such replacements. |
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Going Concern
We
have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations since inception. We incurred a net loss of $21.4 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern within one year after the date these financial statements
were issued. We also utilized cash in operations of $16.0 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As a result, our
continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to
obtain additional financing until we can generate sufficient cash
flows from operations to meet our obligations. Our independent
registered public accounting firm, in its report on our
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2021, has also expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. We intend to continue to seek
additional debt or equity financing, as well as certain strategic
opportunities to continue our operations.
On
January 12, 2022, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement
(the “January Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC
(the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, we have the right, but
not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is
obligated to purchase, up to $50.0 million of newly issued shares
of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject
to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is
inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock issued to the Investor
as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common
Stock under the January Purchase Agreement. In connection with the
January Purchase Agreement, we are restricted from entering into an
agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a
Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of
the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth
therein.
On
January 12, 2022, we also entered into a securities purchase
agreement (the “January Note Purchase Agreement”) with three
institutional investors (collectively, the “January Note Holders”)
providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original
principal amount of $6.3 million in Convertible Notes Due 2023
(each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such
financing, the “January Note Offering”). The Company and the
January Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated
January 12, 2022, in connection with the January Note Offering,
pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to the
January Note Holders in substantially all of its assets. The
January Note Purchase Agreement prohibits us from entering into an
agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a
Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of
the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. The
January Note Purchase Agreement also gives the January Note Holders
the right to require the Company to use up to 15% of the gross
proceeds raised from future debt or equity financings to redeem the
Notes, which redemptions have been elected by the January Note
Holders as described below.
On
April 20, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement,
which provides for the sale and issuance by us of an aggregate of
(i) 14,666,667 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to
purchase 14,666,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $11.0 million
before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering
expenses (the “April Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of
this transaction, certain warrants which previously had exercise
prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10 per share had the exercise price
reduced to $0.75 per share. We used a portion of the proceeds from
the April Registered Direct Offering to repay $1.6 million in
principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the January Note
Offering.
We, through our Professional Employer Organization, filed for
federal government assistance for the second and third quarters of
2021 in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.5 million through
Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) provisions of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021. The purpose of the ERC is to encourage
employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not
working during the covered period due to the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2022, we have yet to receive
the funds and accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial
statements do not reflect the effect of this credit.
Prior to September 30, 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration
(“SBA”) approved an additional loan of $0.35 million which we
expect to receive before the end of 2022.
On
October 25, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement
(the “October Purchase Agreement”), which provides for the sale and
issuance by us of an aggregate of (i) 12,500,000 shares of Common
Stock at a purchase price of $0.32 per share, and (ii) warrants to
purchase 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.34 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.0 million
before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering
expenses (the “October Registered Direct Offering”). As a result of
this transaction, certain warrants which previously had an exercise
price of $0.75 per share had the exercise price reduced to $0.34
per share. Further, in connection with the October Purchase
Agreement, we are restricted from (i) issuing or filing any
registration statement to offer the sale of any Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock until 75 days after the date thereof; and (ii) entering into
an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock involving a
Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during the term of
the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. As
a result of this transaction, we paid $1.2 million towards
principal and accrued interest on the Notes. We and the January
Note Holders agreed to interest only payments with a final
principal payment of $2.5 million due on the maturity
date.
On November 7, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the
“November Note Purchase Agreement”) and promissory note with an
institutional investor providing for the sale and issuance of an
unsecured, non-convertible promissory in the original principal
amount of $5.5 million, which has an original issue discount of
$0.5 million, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately
$5.0 million (the “November Note,” and such financing, the
“November Note Offering”). The November Note matures eighteen
months following the date of issuance. Commencing six months from
the date of issuance, we are required to make monthly cash
redemption payments in an amount not to exceed $0.6 million. The
November Note may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the
maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires us to
use 20% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity or debt
financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material asset, to
prepay the November Note, subject to a cap on the aggregate
prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the November Note
have been paid in full, we are not permitted to grant a security
interest in any of its assets, or to issue securities convertible
into shares of Common Stock, subject in each case to certain
exceptions. Our wholly owned subsidiary verbMarketplace, LLC
entered into a guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in connection with
the November Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the
obligations on our behalf under the November Note in exchange for
receiving a portion of the loan proceeds.
If we
are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to
operate our business and pay our debt obligations as they become
due, we will need to seek to raise additional capital, borrow
additional funds, dispose of subsidiaries or assets, reduce or
delay capital expenditures, or change our business strategy.
However, in light of the restrictive covenants imposed by certain
of our prior financings and the recent decline in the price of
Common Stock, we may be unable to raise additional capital when
needed to operate our business or service our debt. Further,
notwithstanding such restrictions, there can be no assurance that
debt or equity financing will be available in the amounts, on
terms, or at times deemed acceptable by us. The issuance of
additional equity securities would result in significant dilution
in the equity interests of our current stockholders and could
include rights or preferences senior to those the current
stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans would increase our
liabilities and future cash commitments and potentially impose
significant operational or financial restrictions. If we are unable
to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable,
we may be unable to continue to operate our business or pay our
obligations as they become due and as a result may be required to
curtail or cease operations, which may result in stockholders or
noteholders losing some or all of their investment.
For
additional information, refer to Note 1, “Description of Business,”
and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and
Supplemental Disclosures,” to the condensed consolidated financial
statements, and the section titled “Risk Factors,” within our 2021
Annual Report.
Overview
As of
September 30, 2022, we had cash of $0.9 million. We estimate our
operating expenses for the next twelve months will exceed any
revenue we generate, and we will need to seek to raise additional
capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of subsidiaries or
assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or change our
business strategy.
The
following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing,
and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,

Cash Flows – Operating
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our cash flows used in
operating activities amounted to $16.0 million, compared to cash
used for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $20.5
million. We generated $4.5 million additional cash from operations
due to higher revenues, decreases in research and development
expenses, both offset by an increase in labor related costs to
support future growth.
Cash Flows – Investing
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our cash flows used in
investing activities amounted to $4.4 million, primarily due to our
investment in capitalized software development costs related to
MARKET.live.
Cash Flows – Financing
Our
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 amounted to $20.4 million, which represented
$20.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our
common stock, $6.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of
notes payable, $2.5 million of gross proceeds from advances on
future receipts and proceeds from option exercises of $0.4 million,
all offset by $5.4 million of payments on advances on future
receipts, $2.7 million of payments on notes payable and payments
for debt issuance costs of $0.5 million.
Advances on Future Receipts
On
August 25, 2022, we received secured advances from an unaffiliated
third party totaling $2.5 million for the purchase of future
receipts/ revenues of $3.4 million. As of September 30, 2022, the
outstanding balance of the note was $3.0 million.

On
December 1, 2015, we issued a convertible note payable to Mr.
Cutaia, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, to consolidate
all loans and advances made by Mr. Cutaia to us as of that date. On
May 19, 2021, we amended the note to allow for conversion of the
note at any time at the discretion of the holder at a fixed
conversion price of $1.03, which was the closing price of the
common stock on the amendment date. On May 12, 2022, the maturity
date of the note was extended to April 1, 2023. As of September 30,
2022, the outstanding balance under the note was $0.7
million. |
|
(B) |
On
April 4, 2016, we issued a convertible note to Mr. Cutaia, in the
amount of $0.3 million, to consolidate all advances made by Mr.
Cutaia to us during the period December 2015 through March 2016. On
May 19, 2021, we amended the note to allow for conversion of the
note at any time at the discretion of the holder at a fixed
conversion price of $1.03, which was the closing price of the
common stock on the amendment date. As of September 30, 2022, the
outstanding balance under the note was less than $0.1
million. |

May 15, 2020, we executed an unsecured loan with the SBA under the
Economic Injury Disaster Loan program in the amount of $0.15
million. Installment payments, including principal and interest,
began on October 26, 2022. Prior to September 30, 2022, the SBA
approved an additional loan of $0.35 million which is expected to
be received before the end of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the
outstanding balance of the note amounted to $0.15
million.

On
January 12, 2022, we entered into the January Note Offering, which
provided for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original
principal amount of $6.3 million of the Notes. We also entered into
a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with
the January Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a
security interest to the January Note Holders in substantially all
of its assets. There are no financial covenants related to these
notes payable.
We
received $6.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes.
The Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum, have an original issue
discount of 5.0%, mature 12 months from the closing date, and have
an initial conversion price of $3.00, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances as set forth in the Notes.
In
connection with the January Note Offering, we incurred $0.5 million
of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs and the debt
discount of $0.3 million are being amortized over the term of the
Notes using the effective interest rate method. As of September 30,
2022, the amount of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance
costs was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
As of
September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the Notes amounted
to $3.6 million. We have repaid $2.7 million in principal and $0.2
million of accrued interest.
On
October 28, 2022, the Company paid $1.2 million towards principal
and accrued interest on the Notes. The Company and the January Note
Holders agreed to interest only payments with a final principal
payment of $2.5 million due on the maturity date.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, which require that we make certain
assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each
reporting period.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported periods. Management bases these
estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and
known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to
be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the
potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic
factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and
recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.
Significant
estimates include assumptions made for reserves of uncollectible
accounts receivable, assumptions made in valuing assets acquired in
business combinations, impairment testing of goodwill and other
long-lived assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets,
assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions
used in valuing share-based compensation, and accruals for
potential liabilities. Some of those assumptions can be subjective
and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially
from those estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application
services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales
support services.
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 creates a five-step model that
requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms
of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or
agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance
obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the
transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the
separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as
each performance obligation is satisfied.
A
description of our principal revenue generating activities is as
follows:
|
1. |
Digital
Revenue, which is divided into two main categories: |
|
a. |
SaaS
recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to
our Verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM,
verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, and verbPULSE. The revenue is
recognized straight-line over the subscription period. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
Non-SaaS,
non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the
use of our app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and
other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is
recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are
recognized when the service has been rendered, collectability is
reasonably assured, and the app is delivered to the
customer. |
|
2. |
Non-digital
revenue, which is revenue we generate from non-app, non-digital
sources through ancillary services we provide as an accommodation
to our clients and customers. These services includes design,
printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue
is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or
fulfillment to the customer. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company
entered into a customer referral agreement with a third party for
its cart site and printing business. Under the agreement, the
Company earns a certain percentage for customer referrals and
merchandise sales as well as earn cart site design fees, all of
which are recognized as non-digital revenue on a net
basis. |
Derivative Financial Instruments
We
evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments
are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are
accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is
initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification
of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the
end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are
classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current
or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the
derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the
balance sheet date.
We
use Level 2 inputs for our valuation methodology for the derivative
liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a
Binomial pricing model. Our derivative liabilities are adjusted to
reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or
decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations
as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
Share-Based Compensation
The
Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock
and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees
and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based
compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation –
Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured
at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award,
and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The
fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the
number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock
and is recognized as expense over the service period. Recognition
of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and
manner as if the Company had paid cash for services.
Goodwill
In
accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and
Other, we review goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or
circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Our impairment
testing is performed annually at December 31 (our fiscal year end).
Impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets is
determined by comparing the fair value of our reporting units to
the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting
units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be
less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed
impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that
the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the
fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other
assets and liabilities.
Intangible Assets
We
have certain intangible assets that were initially recorded at
their fair value at the time of acquisition. The finite-lived
intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer
contracts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of domain
names. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of
five years.
We
review all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when
circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be
recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not
recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess
carrying value over the fair value in our consolidated statements
of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of
September 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
We
are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information
required under this item.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our principal executive officer and our
principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
September 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of September 30, 2022 at the reasonable assurance
level.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
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
From
time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings,
disputes or claims arising from or related to the normal course of
its business activities. Although the results of legal proceedings,
disputes and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the
Company believes it is not currently a party to any other legal
proceedings, disputes or claims which, if determined adversely to
the Company, would, individually or taken together, have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results,
financial condition or cash flows. However, regardless of the merit
of the claims raised or the outcome, legal proceedings may have an
adverse impact on the Company as a result of defense and settlement
costs, diversion of management time and resources, and other
factors.
For
additional information, refer to Note 13 - Commitments and
Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An
investment in our common stock and warrants involves risks. Before
making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the
information in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well
as in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the
related notes contained within this Quarterly Report. In addition,
you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described
in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 Annual Report, as
well as in our other public filings with the SEC. If any of the
identified risks are realized, our business, operating results,
financial condition and cash flows could be materially and
adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common
stock and the value of our warrants may decline, and you could lose
all or part of your investment. In addition, other risks of which
we are currently unaware, or which we do not currently view as
material, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the
risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk
Factors” in the 2021 Annual Report during the three months ended
September 30, 2022.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s reports
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 have raised
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our independent registered public accounting firm indicated in its
report on our audited consolidated financial statements as of and
for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 that there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements
have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do
not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on
our consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of
proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors,
and potentially be available for distribution to stockholders, in
the event of liquidation. The ongoing presence of the going concern
note to our financial statements may have an adverse impact on the
relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third
parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and
could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional
financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our
business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss
of your investment.
Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent
upon our ability to achieve profitable operations, significantly
reduce operating expenses, attain operating efficiencies, and
obtain additional financing. If we are unable to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to operate our business and
pay our debt obligations as they become due, we may need to seek to
raise additional capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of
subsidiaries or assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or
change our business strategy. There can be no assurance that we
will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be
available to us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed
acceptable to us, if at all. For example, in light of the
restrictive covenants imposed by certain of our prior financing
arrangements, in combination with the recent significant decline in
the market price of our common stock, we may be unable to raise
additional capital in sufficient amounts when needed to operate our
business, service our debt, or executive on our strategic plans.
Further, the issuance of additional equity securities would result
in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders and could include rights or preferences senior to
those of the current stockholders. Borrowing additional funds would
increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and
potentially impose significant operational or financial
restrictions and require us to further encumber our assets. If we
are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed
acceptable, we may be unable to continue to operate our business or
pay our obligations as they become due, and as a result may be
required to curtail or cease operations, which may result in
stockholders or warrant holders losing some or all of their
investment. For additional information, please refer to the section
entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital
Resources - Going Concern,” as well as Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly
Report.
