2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates - Blackboxstocks’Estimates. The Company’s financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash. Cash includes all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.
Investments in Marketable Securities. The Company has invested in marketable securities which primarily consist of investments in mutual funds that hold commercial and government debt securities. These investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted prices at the end of the Company’s reporting period. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses are recognized in the accompanying statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements-Pronouncements. During the nine monthsperiod ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, 2022, there were severalno new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believethat management believes the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had orwhich will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits early adoption, but not before December 15, 2016, and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the new standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions. We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.
Property and Equipment - Blackboxstocks is engaged in the development of its proprietary Blackbox System technology, an algorithm driven system, through a combination of in house system analysts and outside firms. The Company’s Blackbox System software for use in China was in development and costs expensed until the software reached technological feasibility in April 2017 and capitalized until May 15, 2017 when the Blackbox System for use in China was marketable.
The Company’s property and equipment is being depreciated on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years.
Earnings or (Loss) Per Share -Share. Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Therefore, becauseBecause including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the potential dilution would be 5,000,000 sharesstatements for period of common stock in the event the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are converted.loss.

Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes from the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2017.March 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company launched its Blackbox System web application for domestic use and made it available to subscribers in September 2016 and we have not yet attained a level of subscription sales revenue that would allow us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations prior to the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. Unless there is a significant change in cash requirements, the Company believes it has sufficient working capital to fund any operating deficiencies and future development costs until the end of 2018.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the Company2022, we had a cash balance of $163,913 and our working capital was $192,871marketable securities totaling $7,069,826 as compared to cash and marketable securities totaling $10,442,379 at December 31, 2021. Our cash flows used in operations were ($2,038,532) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to ($26,192) for the same period in the prior year.
Net cash from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $966,779 as compared to ($54,507) for the prior year period. The volume of marketable securities purchases and sales for the current quarter was the result of trading activity in a cashCompany account that is used to research and test specific trading techniques. The account used for those specific activities had an account balance of $28,867 and a working capital deficit of $160,006 at September 30, 2016.approximately $100,000.
Net cash used in financing activities was ($1,019,638) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $265,636) for the prior year period. The purchase of $945,449 of common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase plan was the primary component of the use of cash. The stock repurchase plan initially authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of the Company’s common stock and expires on December 31, 2022.
On November 9, 2021 the Company enter into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which it sold 2,400,000 shares of its Common Stock at an offering price of $5.00 in an underwritten public offering upon which our shares became listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Net proceeds to the Company after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately $10,510,000. We expect to use proceeds from this offering to further develop our Blackbox System platform, expand our product offerings, fund marketing efforts to grow our subscriber base, as well as for general and administration expenses and other general corporate purposes.
We believe that the Company has sufficient capital resources to fund current operations and debt service requirements for the twelve months following the issuance of this report.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s revenue totaled $384,279 and $19,540, respectively, for which our respective costs of revenues totaled $163,071 and $15,633. The increase in revenue and costs of operations are the result of the Company’s launch of our Blackbox System web application for subscription in September 2016. We also generated $300,000 in license fee revenues from the BBTR System which was made available on a trial basis in May 2017. The majority of the costs of operations are data feed expenses for exchange information totaling approximately $70,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Other costs of operations included affiliate program referral, customer retention and media coordination payments of approximately $43,818 and website design and maintenance costs of approximately $46,777.
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 and 2021, our revenue was $1,399,315 and $1,463,606, respectively, a decrease of 4.4%. We believe 2022 revenues continue to be negatively impacted macro-economic factors including poor overall performance in the Company hadstock market, high inflation and negative gross domestic product (GDP). The S&P 500 dropped by 20.6% during the six months of 2022. In addition to the poor market performance, inflation of 9.1% as measured by the consumer price index (CPI) and a decline in GDP of (0.9%) may have constricted disposable cash of prospective subscribers. Although we believe that our platform enables our subscribers to profit in both bull and bear markets, we attribute some of our decline in revenues to a higher level of hesitancy resulting from the poor macro-economic data. In order to combat this, we implemented a promotional program offering our software for $5 for the first month in March. This promotional offering was effective in increasing the subscriber totals but only contributed minimal revenue per new user during the end of March and early April. Average users for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 6,181 as compared to 5,482 for the prior year period and 5,709 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $499,427 and $409,577, resulting in gross margins of 64% and 72%, respectively. The primary components of cost of revenues include costs related to data and news feed expenses for exchange information which comprise the majority of the costs, as well as the costs for program moderators. Cost of goods sold increased by $89,850 for the quarter ended June 30 2022 as compared to the prior year primarily as a result of a 46% increase in the cost of our program moderators, higher costs associated with our new broadcast enabled social media feature and data feeds. As noted above, our promotional event resulted in increased user counts but limited revenue that offset the costs which resulted in a lower gross margin percentage of 64%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, operating expenses totaling $436,077were $2,068,654 as compared to $160,747$1,171,551 for the same period in 2016,2021, an increase of $275,330.$897,103 or 77%. We experienced significantly higher expenditures in most of our expense categories for the 2022 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $615,727 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $1,191,474 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 94%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $575,747 was the largest dollar value component of the operating expense increase. The primary components of the increase were increases in salary, stock-based compensation and investor and public relations. Advertising and marketing expenses increased by $179,156 or 44% from $347,188 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $526,344 in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The June 30, 2022 period included general advertising expense related to television advertising of approximately $153,057 which are more general in nature than the Company’s historical direct marketing campaigns. Software development costs also increased by approximately $87,070$141,731 or 70% from $35,445$203,255 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $344,986 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 compared to $122,515 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2022. The increased software development costs were primarily attributablethe result of increased personnel costs and were incurred for improvements to our platform including our online social media component, development of a native application which was released at the end of April and new product development.
.
We expect to continue to incur increases in our operating costs for the foreseeable future. Expense increases for digital advertising and marketing activities, our primary advertising mechanism, should continue to increase with sales but may also increase as a result of additional strategies including but not limited to television advertising. Software development costs are also expected to increase as we expand our development team and testinginvest in new products and features.
Our loss from $124,013operations for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162022 was $1,168,766 as compared to $310,075a loss from operations of $117,522 for the prior year period. Lower sales and gross margin resulting from the $5 promotion in March of 2022 combined with higher operating expenses resulted in the loss from operations. Non-operating expenses for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The majority of the increase is a result of increased internet and telecom expense of $41,762, marketing and investor relations of $140,811, increased travel expense of $18,964 offset by a reduction in administrative expenses of $15,476. The Company also recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $3,4872022 were $147,333 as compared to $125,814 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,289 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. prior year period.

The increase in revenue and costs of operations are the result of the Company’s launch of our Blackbox System web application for subscription in September 2016. We also generated $400,000 in license fee revenues from the BBTR System which was made available on a trial basis in May 2017. The majority of the costs of operations are data feed expenses for exchange information totaling approximately $218,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As noted above, we believe that the macro-economic environment in 2022 has been detrimental to our sales. Our average subscriber count for the first six months of 2022 increased from 5,528 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 5,945, an increase of $610,340.7.5%. Although the subscriber count was higher for the 2022 period, revenues were lower due to lower average revenues per subscriber, primarily resulting from the March promotion described above. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $1,079,389 as compared to $805,352 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $274,037 was primarily due to $148,330 of increased costs of our moderators/team traders, $98,250 of additional costs associated with the online social media component of our platform and $4,036 in higher data feed expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our operating expenses were $3,782,332 as compared to $2,120,312 for the same period in 2021. Selling general and administrative expenses increased to $2,416,197 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1,222,414 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $1,193,783. The 2022 increase was driven primarily by higher personnel costs which increased by $593,014. In addition, investor relations expense and stock compensation were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Advertising and marketing expense increased to $825,140 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $554,500 for the prior year period. The increase of $270,640 was due primarily to the television advertising done in the second quarter as discussed above.

EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the developmentCompany’s financial condition and results of operations, and that when GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with the non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of the BBTR SystemCompany’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for useevaluating performance. For all non-GAAP financial measures in this release, we have provided corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes in the report.
EBITDA is defined by the BBTR Licensee in connection with certain Asian securities exchanges and development of the Blackbox System’s new software chat features. General and administrative expenses also increased approximately $375,469 from $335,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $710,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is largely due to increases in internet and telecom expenses of $80,054, increased marketing and investor relations expenses of $200,613, an increase in travel and relatedus as net income (loss) before interest expense, of $80,876 and increases in administrative expense of $13,926. The Company also recordedincome tax, depreciation and amortization expense and certain non-cash. EBITDA is not a measure of $8,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 comparedoperating performance under GAAP and therefore should not be considered in isolation nor construed as an alternative to $3,866 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.operating profit, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of liquidity. Moreover, since EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, and thus is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Our Company isWe are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as such, iswe are not required to provide the information required under this Item.
ITEMItem 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Gust Kepler, our principal executive officer and Robert Winspear, our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company'sour principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172022, were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter endedSeptember June 30, 20172022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our principal executive officer and principal financial officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs.
Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the fact that the Company only has one director and executive officer dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a material weakness in the internal controls. Management has decided that considering the officer/director involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management periodically reevaluates this situation. In light of the Company’s current cash flow situation, the Company does not intend to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.
