Note 1 – Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Business Organization

Monaker Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Monaker”Monaker, “we”we, “our”our, “us”us, or “Company”Company) operate online marketplaces (described in greater detail below).marketplaces. We believe the most promising part of our business plan is the plan to incorporateincorporation of Monaker’s proprietary Booking Engine and sizeable alternative lodging rental units(ALR) properties into ourwell-established marketplaces while(i.e. a business-to-business (B2B) model) thereby facilitating easy access toof alternative lodging rentals inventory to other distributors. Alternative lodging rentals (ALRs) are whole unit vacation homes or timeshare resort units that are fully furnished, privately owned residential properties, including homes, condominiums, apartments, villas and cabins that property owners and managers rent to the public on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis. NextTrip.com and NextTrip.biz, two of our marketplaces, provide access to airline, car rental, lodgings and activities products and, includes our ALR offering which unites travelers seeking ALRs located in countries around the world. Another one of our marketplaces, Maupintour.com, provides concierge tours and activities at destinations and our other marketplace, EXVG.com, provides our high-end ALR offering. Our online marketplaces are discussed in greater detail below.contracted global distributor partners.

Our ambition is to become the largest instantly bookable vacation rental platform in the world, providing large travel distributors via a business-to-business model (B2B), our ALR inventory, as well as providing both ALR products and auxiliary services direct to consumers, so travelers can purchase vacations through NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com, or EXVG.com. Additionally, we plan to provide the most qualified platform to assist property owners and managers the means to broaden their distribution for booking their homes. The Company serves three major constituents: (1) property owners and managers, (2) travelers, and (3) other travel/lodging distributors. Property owners and managers provideintegrate their detailed property listings of their properties tointo the CompanyMonaker Booking Engine with the goal of reaching a broad audience of travelers seeking ALRs. The property owners and managers provide us their properties, at a preferential rate for each booking, and in return, their properties are listed for free as an available ALR on NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com (as well as with distributors) where travelers are able to search and compare our large and detailed inventory of listings to find ALRs meeting their needs.

Monaker is a technology driven Travel Company which has identified and sourced ALR products which it converts into instantly bookable products; this is its distinguishing niche. The ALRs are owned and leased by third parties and are available to rent through Monaker’s websites as well as other distributors. Monaker’s services include critical elements such as technology, an extensive film library, trusted brands and established partnerships that enhance product offerings and reach. We believe that consumers are quickly adopting video for researching and educating themselves prior to purchases, and Monaker has carefully amassed video content, key industry relationships and a prestigious travel brand as cornerstones for the development and deployment of core-technology on both proprietary and partnership platforms.

Monaker sells travel services to leisure and corporate customers around the world. Our primary focus is to incorporate ALR options into our current offerings of scheduling, pricing and availability information for booking reservations for airlines, hotels, rental cars, and other travel products such as sightseeing tours, shows and event tickets and theme park passes. The Company sells these travel services both individually and as components of dynamically-assembled packaged travel vacations and trips. In addition, the Company provides content that presents travelers with information about travel destinations, maps and other travel details. In February 2018, the Company introduced its new travel platform under the NextTrip brand. This platform continues to be improved with a focus on maximizing the consumer’s experience and assisting them in the decision and purchasing process.

The platform is a licensed technology (described below) that through our proprietary technology, will allow our users to search large travel suppliers of alternative lodging inventories and present consumers comprehensive and optimal alternatives at the most inexpensive rates to choose from.

In March 2018, the Company introduced Travelmagazine.com, an online travel publication with the aim of giving travelers around the world inspiration for future travel destinations and trips. The publication offers written articles, videos, and podcasts. Moving forward, we plan for Travelmagazine.com to become a central hub of information for travelers who are looking to get detailed information on destinations all around the world. We also plan to move Travelmagazine.com from having content created by a team of staff writers, to a team of worldwide writers who will contribute content to the page for publication. The website is planned to be supported by advertising and allow for promotion of both ALR and Maupintour vacation products.

The Company plans to sell its travel services through various distribution channels. The primary distribution channel will be through its B2B channel partners which include sales via (i) other travel companies’ websites and (ii) networks of third-party travel agents. Secondary distribution will occur through the Company’s own website at NextTrip.com, the NextTrip mobile application (“app”) and Nexttrip.biz. Additionally we plan to offer specialty travel services via EXVG.com and Maupintour, targeting high touch inventory to customers through a toll- free telephone number designed to assist customers with complex or high-priced offerings.

Monaker’s core holdings include NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com and EXVG.com. NextTrip.com is the primary consumer website, where travel services and products are booked. The travel services and products include tours; activities/attractions; airlines; hotels; and car rentals and where ALRs will be booked. Maupintour complements the Nextrip.com offering by providing high-end tour packages and activities/attractions. EXVG.com is a specialized secondary website devoted to those ALRs that cannot be booked on a real-time basis. These ALRs tend to be sourced from owners and managers who havechannels they could not invested in a reservation management system and/or the owner or manager prefers to personally vet the customer before accepting a booking; typically because the ALR is a high value property. EXVG.com travel services and products only include the aforementioned ALRs as well as tours and activities from Maupintour. NextTrip.biz is targeted at small to midsized businesses offering them a customized travel solution for business travel to meetings, conferences, conventions or even vacation travel and gives the companies lower costs, better expense control and the option for a “self-branded” website.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These differences could have a material effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial position. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include certain revenues, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of short-term investments, the carrying amounts of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, the valuation of stock options and deferred income taxes and the fair value of non-controlling interests.

taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at AugustMay 31, 20182019 and February 28, 2018.2019.

Website Development Costs

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. All costs associated with the websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period.

7

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by “ASC 985-20-25” Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the greater of (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

1. Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;

2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company did not record an impairment charge on its intangible assets during the six months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $140,772$73,451 and $70,385 during the sixthree months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Also, $1,485,000 of website development costs and $600,000 of rights to purchase land were impaired as of February 28, 2018. On May 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s right to purchase land was sold for a promissory note in the amount of $1,600,000 and a deferred gain of $1,600,000 was reserved against the promissory note. On July 2, 2018, this promissory note was exchanged for 2,133,333 shares of Bettwork Industries, Inc. (“Bettwork”) common stock at $0.75 per share and the gain of $1,600,000 was realized.

respectively.

Convertible Debt Instruments

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards CodificationASC topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

8

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to determine the fair value of these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of this accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarterperiod result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarterperiod result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

Based upon ASC 815-25, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible debentures. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 intends to reduce the complexity associated with the issuer’s accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Specifically, the FASB determined that a down round feature (as defined) would no longer cause a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or an embedded conversion option) to be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings and is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the new standard during 2017, preventing the need to account for several outstanding warrants that contain down round features as derivative instruments.

Reclassification

For comparability, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2018.2019. The reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. On February

12, 2018, we effected a 1:2.5 reverse stock-split of all of our outstanding shares of common stock, which has been retroactively reflected herein.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the customer has purchased the product, the occurrence of the earlier of date of travel or the date of cancellation has expired, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue for customer travel packages purchased directly from the Company are recorded gross (the amount paid to the Company by the customer is shown as revenue and the cost of providing the respective travel package is recorded to cost of revenues).

7

We generate our revenues from sales directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels of tours and activities at destinations throughout the world. We also generate revenue from commissions on bookings and sales of ancillary products and services.

Payments for tours or activities received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized at the earlier of the date of travel or the last date of cancellation (i.e., the customer’s refund privileges lapse).

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of cost of the tours and activities, commissions and merchant fees charged by credit card processors.

Selling and Promotions Expense

Selling and promotion expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.

Warrant Modifications

The Company treats a modification of the terms or conditions of an equity award in accordance with ASC Topic 718-20-35-3 by treating the modification as an exchange of the original award for a new award. In substance, the entity repurchases the original instrument by issuing a new instrument of equal or greater value, incurring additional compensation cost for any incremental value. Incremental compensation cost shall be measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award determined in accordance with the provisions of this Topic over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at that date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

9

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. 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. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

8

 

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on various assumptions. 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 adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

The Company did not have exposure to derivative liabilities and the Company did not have exposure to embedded conversion options as those instruments were converted to equity positions by the note-holder. There are no derivative liabilities as of AugustMay 31, 20182019 and February 28, 2018.

The Company has $-0- convertible promissory notes that include embedded conversion options at AugustMay 31, 20182019 and February 28, 2018.

Going Concern

As of AugustMay 31, 2018,2019 and February 28, 2018,2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $106,445,510$107,834,547 and $110,696,774,$106,398,211, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

As of August 31, 2018, the Company had negative working capital of $2,023,687, and for the six months ended August 31, 2018, had net income of $4,251,264 and cash used in operations of $1,635,514.

We have very limited financial resources. We currently have a monthly cash requirement of approximately $320,000, exclusive of capital expenditures. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support the on-going operation and increased market penetration of our products including the development of national advertising relationships, increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support current operations. We believe that in the aggregate, we could require several millions of dollars to support and expand the marketing and development of our travel products, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, office space and systems for managing the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from travel products are fully-implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. Our failure to obtain additional capital to finance our working capital needs on acceptable terms, or at all, will negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity. As of AugustMay 31, 2018,2019, we had $2,186,087approximately $2,137,852 of current liabilities. We currently do not have the resources to satisfy these obligations, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern.

Management’s plans with regard to this going concern are as follows: the Company will continue to raise funds with third parties by way of public or private offerings, and management and members of the Board are working aggressively to increase the viewership of our products by promoting it across other mediums which we anticipate will result in higher revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate greater revenues. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations since its contracts generally have an original expected term of one year or less and the Company recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company applies a practical expedient, as permitted within ASC 340, to expense as incurred the incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period of the asset that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less.

The Company utilizes operating leases for its offices. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-to-use assets, non-current, and operating lease liabilities current and non-current captions in the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-to-use assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease agreements may contain periods of free rent or reduced rent, predetermined fixed increases in the minimum rent and renewal or termination options, all impacting the determination of the lease term and lease payments to be used in calculating the lease liability. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease when determinable. As most of the Company’s leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, the Company uses a derived incremental borrowing rate based on borrowing options under its credit agreement. The Company applies a spread over treasury rates for the indicated term of the lease based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease. 

Revenue from Contracts with CustomersRecent Accounting Policies Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”ASU) 2014-9, “RevenueRevenue from Contracts with Customers.” The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

10

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-9 by one year. As a result, the amendments in ASU 2014-9 are effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Additional ASUs have been issued that are part of the overall new revenue guidance, including: ASU No. 2016-8, “PrincipalPrincipal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU No. 2016-10, “IdentifyingIdentifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “NarrowNarrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.

The new revenue recognition standard prescribes a five-step model that focuses on transfer of control and entitlement to payment when determining the amount of revenue to be recognized. The new model requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time for each of these obligations. We adopted the requirements of the new standard effective March 1, 2018 and used the modified retrospective adoption approach.

The impact to our results is not material because the analysis of our contracts under the new revenue recognition standard supports the recognition of revenue at a point in time since control over the asset passes to our customer and there are no more outstanding performance obligations to be satisfied for our travel or tour products or services we distribute to our customers, which is consistent with our current revenue recognition model. In addition, the number of performance obligations under the new standard is not materially different from our contract segments under the existing standard. Lastly, the accounting for the estimate of variable consideration is not materially different compared to our current practice.

Hedge Accounting. In August 2017, the FASB amended the existing accounting guidance for hedge accounting. The amendments require expanded hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and refine the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. The new guidance also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how entities assess hedge effectiveness. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be adopted as of March 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings as of the initial adoption date.

Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606. A performance obligationThere is a promise in a contractno impact to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in ASC 606. Revenue is measuredour results as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.do not have hedging instruments. We do not have any significant payment terms, as payment is received shortly after goods are deliveredexisting hedging relationships nor do we have hedging instruments that have not expired, been sold, terminated or services are provided.

Contract Balances

Accounts receivable, net

The timing of revenue recognition may differ fromexercised. We have not removed the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of any necessary allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is recognized in the period the Company provides the underlying services or when the right to consideration is unconditional. The balance of accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, as of August 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018 is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred revenue and deferred cost of sales

Deferred revenue consists primarily of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are recognized on a point in time basis. Billings associated with such items are typically completed upon the transfer of control of promised products or services have been transferred to the customer at the earliest of the customer travel date or the expirationdesignation of a cancellation date. Deferred costs primarily refer to fees for the purchase of travel or tours from other travel vendors. Deferred revenue also consists of advance payments from customers for uncompleted contracts.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations since its contracts generally have an original expected term of one year or less and the Company recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company applies a practical expedient, as permitted within ASC 340, to expense as incurred the incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period of the asset that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires entities that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We are inadopted this guidance as of March 1, 2019. The Company elected available practical expedients permitted under the processguidance, which among other items, allows the Company to (i) carry forward its historical lease classification, (ii) not reassess leases for the definition of evaluating“lease” under the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes accounts receivable, and available-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

$230,000 Promissory Note from Bettwork Industries Inc.

On October 10, 2018, we entered into a Promissory Note with Bettwork Industries Inc. (“Bettwork”), a related party, in the amount of $200,000 which was amended and superseded by an Amended Promissory Note dated October 19, 2018, in the amount of $230,000 (the “Bettwork Note”). The Bettwork Note bears interest at 12% per year and matured on February 28, 2019. All interest and the principal balance are due and payable on the maturity date. The Bettwork Note includes a “Default Rate” of eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum and is secured by all of the outstanding preferred stock shares held by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bettwork (which provide for super-majority voting rights) and Bettwork is precluded from issuing additional shares of common stock or preferred stock without consent from Monaker. In November 2018, a payment of $40,000 was received and the outstanding principal balance of the Bettwork Note as of May 31, 2019 and February 28, 2019 is $190,000 and $190,000, respectively. An allowance for bad debt of $190,000 (i.e., 100%) was reserved against the Bettwork Note as of May 31, 2019 and February 28, 2019; this amount was recognized as a bad debt expense and is included in general and administrative expenses.

On March 12, 2019, and effective on February 28, 2019, we and Bettwork entered into a First Amendment to Amended Promissory Note (the “Note Amendment”), which amended the Bettwork Note to: (a) extend the maturity date thereof from February 28, 2019 to August 31, 2019; (b) provide Monaker the right to convert the principal and accrued interest owed under the Bettwork Note into common stock of Bettwork at a conversion price of $0.75 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits and recapitalizations); and (c) provide that Bettwork is required to provide Monaker at least 10 days written notice before any prepayment of the Bettwork Note. The Note Amendment also included a beneficial ownership limit, prohibiting Monaker from converting the Bettwork Note, if doing so would result in Monaker (together with its affiliates and/or any persons acting as a group together with Monaker) beneficially owning more than 19.99% of Bettwork’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to such conversion, provided that, at the election of Monaker and with at least 61 days’ written notice to Bettwork, such beneficial ownership limitation may be decreased (but not increased) to whatever percentage Monaker may determine. The Bettwork Note had a balance of $190,000 at the time of the parties’ entry into the Note Amendment. Interest and principal have been paid through the date of the original maturity (in the amount of $40,000 of principal and $9,255.31 of interest as of February 28, 2019) and this Note Amendment is an extension to pay the principal, under the same terms and conditions as the Bettwork Note.

Conversion of $750,000 Promissory Note Into 1,000,000 Common Stock Shares of Bettwork Industries Inc.

On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Crystal Falls Investments, LLC (“Crystal Falls”Falls), for the sale of its 51% membership interest in Name Your Fee, LLC, in exchange for a Promissory Note, maturing on May 15, 2018, in the amount of $750,000 (the “NameName Your Fee Note”Note). The Name Your Fee Note does not accrue interest, is secured by the 51% membership interest in Name Your Fee, LLC and was to be repaid through 20% of the net earnings received in NameYourFee.com through maturity. The Name Your Fee Note contains standard and customary events of default. The principal amount of the note was due on May 15, 2018 and was in default.

On August 31, 2017, we entered into an Assignment and Novation Agreement (the “Assignment”Assignment) with Bettwork and Crystal Falls. Pursuant to the Assignment, the Name Your Fee Note, which had a principal balance of $750,000 as of the date of the Assignment, was assigned from Crystal Falls to Bettwork, we agreed to only look to Bettwork for the repayment of the Name Your Fee Note, Bettwork agreed to repay the Name Your Fee Note pursuant to its terms, and we provided Crystal Falls a novation of amounts owed thereunder. Crystal Falls also released us from any and all claims in connection with such Name Your Fee Note and any other claims which Crystal Falls then had. The Assignment also amended the Name Your Fee Note to include an option which allowsallowed us to convert the amount owed under the Name Your Fee Note into shares of Bettwork’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share.

Conversion of $1,600,000 Promissory Note Into 2,133,333 Common Stock Shares of Bettwork Industries IncInc.

On November 21, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement and an addendum thereto (the “Purchase Addendum”Purchase Addendum) with A-Tech LLC (“A-Tech”A-Tech) on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiary Parula Village Ltd. (“Parula”Parula) whereby we purchased from A-Tech, through Parula, ownership of 12 parcels of land on Long Caye, Lighthouse Reef, Belize (the “Property”Property) for 240,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at a total of $1,500,000.

On October 23, 2017, Monakerwe entered into a Platform Purchase Agreement with Exponential, Inc. (“XPO”XPO), which offers a white-label e-commerce platform. Pursuant to the Platform Purchase Agreement, XPO agreed to provide us software development services in connection with the development of an e-commerce platform (the Monaker Booking Engine (MBE)) and related application program interfaces (APIs), and. In consideration for the services agreed to further manage all merchant relationships sold on the platform and reporting and accounting thereof. Monakerbe rendered by XPO, we issued XPO 200,000 shares of restricted common stock, valued at $7.425 per share for a total acquisition price of $1,485,000. Additional consideration for the issuance of the shares included Monaker becoming the exclusive provider of alternative lodging rentals (ALRs) for all travel sales on XPO’s platforms.

The investment in the XPO platform included a platform and API to be delivered to Monaker by November 17, 2017. The 200,000 share purchase price included 140,000 shares for granting Monaker exclusivity for all travel sales on the platforms of all of XPO’s clients. Monaker was granted a 180 day review period for performance of the platform (through May 16, 2018) and if Monaker concluded, at its sole discretion, that the platform did not perform as expected, Monaker could serve notice to cancel travel exclusivity and only maintain exclusivity in the Alternative Lodging Rental (ALR) category by reducing the number of shares due under the Platform Purchase Agreement to 60,000 shares (i.e., cancelling 140,000 of the Shares). The platform, as contracted with XPO, was delivered and it was continuously upgraded by XPO through May 16, 2018. However, the platform did not perform as represented by XPO and Monaker notified XPO of its intent to cancel the travel exclusivity shares (i.e., 140,000 shares) and cancelled those shares on June 29, 2018. The Company maintained exclusivity with XPO and its clients in the ALR category as agreed in the Platform Purchase Agreement in consideration for 60,000 shares, which were not cancelled. Although the 140,000 shares had not been cancelled as of February 28, 2018, due to agreement to cancel the travel exclusivity shares and the failure to connect Monaker’s ALR products to XPO, Monaker reserved 100% of the investment (i.e., 200,000 shares valued at $1,485,000) retroactively to February 28, 2018, and recognized an impairment loss as of February 28, 2018 and reduced the value of the asset to $0 as of May 31, 2019 and February 28, 2018.

2019.

On June 28, 2018, theXPO’s travel exclusivity shares were cancelled and $1,039,000$1,039,500 of equity was recovered from cancelling suchthe cancellation of the 140,000 shares. Since the impairment cannot be restored and the asset has already been reduced to $0, a valuation gain of $1,039,000$1,039,500 is realized for the value recovered (ASC 360-10-35-40) in net income as Otherother income, Valuationvaluation gain, net.

On November 14, 2017, Monaker entered into a Purchase Agreement with Michael Heinze, Michael Kistner and Rebecca Dernbach whereby Monaker purchased the source code owned in connection with an alternative lodging platform for $75,000 in cash and 34,783 shares of restricted common stock with a market value of $5.75 per share and an aggregate value of $200,000 for a total acquisition price of $275,000.

Common Stock Warrants

On July 31, 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 613,000 shares of common stock in connection with a private placement offering of 613,000 shares of common stock and warrants. The warrants were exercisable immediately at $5.25 per share and expire on July 30, 2022. These warrants contain a subsequent equity sale reset “down round”, which provides that if the Company sells or grants any option to purchase any common stock of the Company at any effective price per share less than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price shall be reduced to equal that lower exercise price.

During January 2018, the Company entered into a First Amendment To Warrant (“Amendment”) agreement with Pacific Grove Capital LP (“Pacific Grove”) which amended the warrants then held by Pacific Grove (acquired on July 31, 2017). This amendment led to a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock held by Pacific Grove from $5.25 per share to $2.625 per share. This exercise price reduction was to incentivize the exercise of these warrants and to raise cash.

Additionally, as a result of the reduction in the exercise price of the Pacific Grove warrants which was agreed to pursuant to the Amendment, the anti-dilution provisions of the purchase agreement entered into with the purchasers pursuant to the July 31, 2017 purchases was triggered. Specifically, because the Company issued shares of common stock below (a) the $5.00 price per share of the securities sold pursuant to the purchase agreement, the purchasers were due an additional 14,458 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (b) the $5.25 exercise price of the warrants sold pursuant to the purchase agreement (and the warrants granted to the placement agent), automatically decreased to $5.125 per share.

On January 29, 2018, the Company entered into a First Amendment To Warrant agreement with The Stadlin Trust dated 5/25/01 (“Stadlin”) which amended the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement provided to Stadlin in connection with the closing of the July 31, 2017 offering, whereby Stadlin acquired warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Through January 29, 2018, Stadlin earned additional warrants to purchase 9,800 shares of the Company’s common as partial liquidated damages for delays in obtaining an uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, which uplisting was required pursuant to the purchase agreement, to have occurred on or before December 9, 2017; these additional warrants (on substantially similar terms as the warrants granted in connection with the offering) are equal to Stadlin’s pro rata share of 1% of the warrants sold pursuant to the purchase agreement for each day that the Company failed to obtain the NASDAQ listing. Total warrants held by Stadlin as of January 29, 2018 were 29,800. The Company desired to incentivize Stadlin to exercise the warrants by reducing the exercise price of the warrants from $5.125 per share to $2.625 per share, provided that Stadlin agreed to immediately exercise such 29,800 warrants for $78,225 in cash. Pursuant to the amendment, the exercise price of the warrants was reduced as discussed above and Stadlin exercised the warrants in cash.

Common Stock WarrantsAdditionally, as a result of the reduction in the exercise price of the Stadlin warrants which was agreed to pursuant to the amendment, the anti-dilution provisions of the purchase agreement and the purchasers’ warrants granted in connection therewith was triggered. Specifically, because the Company issued shares of common stock below (a) the $5.00 price per share of the securities sold pursuant to the purchase agreement, the purchasers were due an additional 1,220 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (b) the $5.125 exercise price of the warrants sold pursuant to the purchase agreement (and the warrants granted to the placement agent), the exercise price of such warrants remained unchanged at $5.125 per share.

At first, the warrants were accounted for as part of Company equity since the warrants were considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. However, under ASC 815, the “down round” protection can sever the indexing to the Company’s own stock and the warrants could be accounted for as derivative liabilities at the time the reset was triggered, which is how the Company accounted for such warrants, and the change in fair value resulting from the reset of $26,060 was recognized as change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 intends to reduce the complexity associated with the issuer’s accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Specifically, the Board determined that a down round feature (as defined) would no longer cause a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or an embedded conversion option) to be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings and is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the new standard during 2017, preventing the need to account for the Company to account for the outstanding warrants that contain down round features as derivative instruments.

As a result of the April 2019 underwritten offering, as discussed above, the exercise price of the warrants to purchase 724,000 shares of common stock granted as part of the Company’s October 2, 2018 registered offering were automatically adjusted from $2.85 per share to $2.00 per share.

The office lease wasdescribed above terminated early on March 31, 2018, at the request of the landlord, without penalties to the Company.

Thereafter, the The Company entered into a new contract for new office space forencompassing approximately 2,500 square feet at 2893 Executive Park Drive Suite 201, Weston, Florida 33331. The lease has a term of three years from April 15, 2018 through April 14, 2021. Monthly average rental costs for the periods ending February 28,April 14, 2019, 2020 and 2021 are $6,243, $6,461$6,492 and $6,744,$6,781, respectively.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires entities that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We adopted this guidance as of March 1, 2019 The Company elected available practical expedients permitted under the guidance, which among other items, allow the Company to (i) carry forward its historical lease classification, (ii) not reassess leases for the definition of “lease” under the new standard, (iii) utilize a discount rate as of the effective date and (iv) not record leases that expired or were terminated prior to the effective date. Accordingly, the Company recorded operating lease Right-to-Use asset of $80,397 along with current operating lease liability of $54,828 and long term operating lease liability of $25,569 as of May 31, 2019.

Nasdaq Letter

On February 11, 2019, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company, on January 23, 2019, of Mr. Robert J. Post, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 which requires, among other things, that a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors be comprised of “independent directors” as defined in Rule 5605, and because as a result of Mr. Post’s resignation, the Company’s Board of Directors no longer consists of majority independent members, the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5605.

Notwithstanding such non-compliance, Nasdaq has provided the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:

 18until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting (which is scheduled to be held on August 15, 2019) or January 23, 2020; or
 if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before July 22, 2019, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than July 22, 2019.

The Company must submit to Nasdaq documentation, including biographies of any new directors, evidencing compliance with the rules no later than the applicable date above. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by such date, Nasdaq rules require the Nasdaq staff to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

In response to Mr. Post’s resignation and the receipt of the Letter, the Company has nominated two new independent directors for appointment to the Board of Directors of the Company at the Company’s combined 2020/2019 annual meeting scheduled to be held in August 2019.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to our business, including, among other things, matters involving breach of contract claims, intellectual property, employment issues, and other related claims and vendor matters. The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

On March 28, 2016, the Company was presented with a Demand for Arbitration, pursuant to Rule 4(a) of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Rules of Arbitration, whereby Acknew Investments, Inc. and Vice Regal Developments Inc. (Claimants) are arguing that $700,000 is due to them, even though they have already been paid said amounts through preferred shares that were issued as a guarantee and which Claimants converted into shares of common stock. In connection with the purchase of the stock of the entity that eventually became RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (and subsequently Verus International, Inc.), the Company issued 380,000 shares of Monaker Series D Preferred Stock shares with a value of $1,900,000, which was considered the $1,200,000 value of the stock portion of the purchase price, and was also meant to guaranty the payment of the balance of $700,000. The Company contends that the obligation to pay the $700,000 was extinguished with the conversion of the Monaker Series D Preferred Stock shares into shares of common stock. The date for arbitration has not been set and the Company will vehemently defend its position.

The Company is unable to determine the estimate of the probable or reasonable possible loss or range of losses arising from the above legal proceedings.

On December 9, 2016, a class action lawsuit McLeod v. Monaker Group, Inc. et al (Case No.: 0:16-cv-62902-WJZ) was filed against us, William Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman,director, Donald Monaco, our director,Chairman, and D’Arelli Pruzansky, P.A., our former auditor, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock and exercised options between April 6, 2012 and June 23, 2016 (the “Class Period”Class Period).

The lawsuit stemsstemmed from the Company’s announcement in June 2016 that it would have to restate its financial statements due to issues related to the Company’s investment in RealBiz.Verus. On February 16, 2017, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the lawsuit and on March 3, 2017, the Court entered an order staying discovery and all other proceedings pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss. On March 16, 2017, the plaintiffs responded to the Motion to Dismiss, and on March 30, 2017, we filed a Reply memorandum in support of our Motion to Dismiss. On January 24, 2018, the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint and gave Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint. On February 23, 2018, Mr. McLeod, joined by new plaintiff, Ronald Mims, filed an Amended Complaint with the same allegations of security fraud as alleged in the original complaint. On March 29, 2018, we filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint, which the Plaintiffs have since filed a response to. On September 26, 2018, the parties amicably resolved the matter, resulting in the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice as reflected by a Final Order of Dismissal of the court on such date.

On December 22, 2017, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with RealBiz,Verus, NestBuilder.com Corp. (“Nestbuilder”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) relating to the dismissal with prejudice of certain pending lawsuits with Verus, including Case No.: 1:16-cv-24978- DLG in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Also, as part of the Settlement Agreement, Monaker received 49,411 shares of common stock of Nestbuilder. The agreement further provided for each party to dismiss the above referenced lawsuits with prejudice and for general releases from each party.

On March 14, 2014, a lawsuit was filed by Lewis Global Partners in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida Case No. LACE 14-005009 005009 alleging breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In particular the lawsuit alleged that:

In or around July 2, 2012 the plaintiff, Lewis Global Partners, LLC (Lewis Global), entered into a Subscription Agreement with us. The Subscription Agreement provided that Lewis Global would pay $13,500 in services rendered in consideration for 2,700 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred B Shares”). The-Subscription Agreement also provided Conversion Rights to convert each $5.00 Preferred B Share into either shares of the Company or 100 shares of ‘Next 1 Realty’ (our then wholly-owned real estate division, which subsequently became Verus).
On or around June 10, 2013, plaintiff sent a Notice of Conversion to the Company and requested to convert its Preferred B Shares into 270,000 shares of common stock of Verus.
The Company failed to deliver the 270,000 shares of common stock of Verus and because at the time of the Notice of Conversion the common stock in Verus was approximately $2.65 per share, the damages Lewis Global alleged are due total $715,500, provided that the value has depreciated significantly since the time of the Notice of Conversion.

On April 5, 2019, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Lewis Global relating to the dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit with Lewis Global. The agreement further provided for general releases from each party.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing date of the sale of the Securities, October 2, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of common stock or common stock equivalents (i.e., securities convertible or exercisable for common stock), for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), we agreed to provide each Investor a right to participate in an amount of up to 35% of the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing, subject to terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The participation rights do not apply to any Exempt Issuance (defined below).

We also agreed pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, that (a) for a period of 90 days after the Closing Date, that neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company would issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents; and (b) for the period of time that the Warrants are outstanding, we would be prohibited from issuing or agreeing to issue any variable rate securities. Notwithstanding the above, we are not prohibited from issuing or granting Exempt Issuances pursuant to the restriction described in (a) above.

“Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of common stock or options to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to (i) any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company; or (ii) the approval of a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company, with shareholder approval where applicable under the rules of any trading market, provided that any such issuances to consultants and pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be limited to 200,000 shares (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like), in the aggregate, during any 12 month calendar period, provided further, that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the ninety days following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Restricted Issuance Requirements”), (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date the Securities Purchase Agreement was entered into, provided that such securities are not amended to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, subject to the Restricted Issuance Requirements, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, each as described in greater detail in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Warrants

Each Warrant has an exercise price of $2.85 per share.  The Warrants are exercisable beginning any time after the grant date (October 2, 2018) and ending five years following the date of grant (October 2, 2023).  The Warrant holders are entitled to a “cashless exercise” option if, at any time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are automatically adjusted in the event of a forward or reverse stock split, our declaration of a stock dividend payable in shares of common stock or other securities or other property and reclassifications of common stock. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (defined below) then, upon any subsequent exercise of the Warrant, the holder is to receive, at the option of the holder, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction. If holders of common stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder is given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Subject to the terms of the Warrant, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any successor entity is required, at the holder’s option, to purchase the Warrant by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrant, as calculated as provided in the warrant agreement; provided, however, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, the holder is only entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of common stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.

21

“Fundamental Transaction” means (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (ii) the sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets of the Company, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of common stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of its common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which its common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

The exercise of the Warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which prohibits the exercise thereof, if upon such exercise the holder would hold 4.99% (9.99% for one of the Investors) of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by the applicable holder, provided that the holders may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, but in no event will such beneficial ownership exceed 9.99%.

If we fail for any reason to deliver shares of common stock upon the valid exercise of the Warrants, subject to our receipt of a valid exercise notice and the aggregate exercise price, by the time period set forth in the Warrants, we are required to pay the applicable holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of shares subject to such exercise (as calculated in the Warrant), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the fifth trading day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading Day that such shares are not delivered. The Warrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise thereof within the time periods set forth in the Warrant.

The Warrants also include anti-dilution rights, which provide that if at any time the Warrants are outstanding, we issue or are deemed to have issued (which includes shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options and conversion of convertible securities) securities for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the Warrants, the exercise price of such Warrants is automatically reduced to the lowest price per share of consideration provided or deemed to have been provided for such securities, not to be less than $0.57 per share.  

Placement Agent Agreement

As discussed above, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) served as sole placement agent for the offering pursuant to a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) between the Company and the Placement Agent dated September 28, 2018. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agreement, in consideration for its placement agent services the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company in the Offering ($133,035), in addition to payment to the Placement Agent of $55,000 of expenses.

The offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants were made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-224309), which was declared effective by the Commission on July 2, 2018 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), and a prospectus supplement thereto, which the Company filed on Tuesday, October 2, 2018, prior to the closing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) that the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 201814, 2019 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of AugustMay 31, 2018,2019, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

Overview

Monaker Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate online marketplaces (described in greater detail below).marketplaces. We believe the most promising part of our business plan is the incorporation of Monaker’s proprietary white label Booking Engine and sizeable alternative lodging rental units(ALR) properties into ourwell-established marketplaces while(i.e. a business-to-business (B2B) model) thereby facilitating easy access toof alternative lodging rentals inventory to contracted global distributor partners.

Our ambition is to become the largest instantly bookable vacation rental platform in the world, providing large travel distributors via a B2B model, our ALR inventory.

Additionally, we plan to provide a superior platform to assist property managers in booking, and broadening the market for, their homes. The Company serves three major constituents: (1) property managers, (2) travelers, and (3) other travel/lodging distributors. Alternative lodging rentals (ALRs)Property managers integrate their detailed property listings into the Monaker Booking Engine with the goal of reaching a broad audience of travelers seeking ALRs, through distribution channels they could not access otherwise.

All of Monaker’s ALRs, also commonly referred to as Vacation Rentals are:

i)Controlled by Property Management Companies. This is a key point of differentiation for Monaker, as the sole focus of Property Management Companies is to rent and service their properties, unlike an individual home owner who often rents their property on a casual or part-time basis. We believe working with property managers results in four key benefits:
All properties are Instantly Bookable (all Property Management Company inventory is integrated into Monaker’s Booking Engine allowing for instant confirmations);
Higher levels of service for renters (property managers are full-time operators);
Higher Quality Assurance (property managers generally have an incentive to eliminate trouble properties); and
Certified Rentable (most property managers are licensed and bonded requiring them to ensure properties are “legal to rent” and are further responsible for paying required taxes on behalf of homeowners.

ii)Exclusively Individual Units. Our vacation homes and residential resort units are never shared, nor do we rent rooms in homes like other ALR companies. All ALR inventory is fully furnished privately owned residential properties, including homes, condominiums, apartments, villas and cabins that property managers rent to the public on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis.

We believe that Monaker’s B2B model of supplying its significant ALR inventory directly to well-established travel distributors has three key benefits being:

Monaker avoids the need to market and try and develop its own direct to consumer brand (which can be expensive). Instead it is able to supply product into well established distribution websites that already have significant customer traffic and bookings.

Monaker has positioned itself uniquely in the ALR sector - which is one of the fastest growth segments within the travel industry. ALR inventory provides a key solution to traditional travel distributors. According to a January 3, 2017 article by Kevin May, the Editor In Chief of PhocusWire, as posted on Tnooz.com (“Private accommodation travel bookings to reach $106 billion by 2018”), it is estimated that roughly 1 out of 5 lodging accommodations in 2018 was an ALR transaction and by most accounts this growth is continuing to accelerate.

Monaker B2B ALR offerings are timely in addressing traditional travel distributors’ needs to protect their client base by allowing them seamless access to ALR products. With the rapid growth of companies like Airbnb, we believe that traditional travel companies are realizing that not having access to this high demand vacation rental inventory means they risk losing their consumers to other ALR sites. By integrating Monaker’s ALR inventory in a “White Label” solution alongside their existing travel products (i.e., Air/Car/Hotel/Cruise/Tour bookings) it solves a key issue by allowing traditional travel distributors the ability for their customers to complete their entire vacation package booking on their website versus forcing them to go to an ALR website and potentially losing the entire booking.

Monaker’s Direct to Consumer Websites

Monaker has established a direct to consumer presence though a number of websites. While these sites are whole unit vacation homes or timeshare resort units that are fully furnished, privately owned residential properties, including homes, condominiums, apartments, villas and cabins that property owners and managers rentanticipated to represent a minor portion of the public on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis.Company’s revenues moving forward, they do perform two very important functions, being:

The direct to consumer platforms are used for demonstration purposes to show traditional travel companies how ALR products could be integrated into their platforms, and

The sites allow consumers to bundle specialty vacation tours and other offerings with ALR products.

These sites include NextTrip.com, and NextTrip.biz, two of our marketplaces, provideproviding access to airline, car rental, lodgings and activities products, and includesinclude our ALR offering which will unite travelers seeking ALRs located in countries around the world. world and NextTrip.biz (under development) which, when fully operational, will provide a complete tracking solution for business travel as well as discounted air, car, hotel and access to ALR products for business travelers.

Another one of our marketplaces, Maupintour.com, provides concierge tours and activities at destinations and our other marketplace, EXVG.com, provides our high-end ALR offering. Our online marketplaces are discussed in greater detail below.

Our ambition is to become the largest instantly bookable vacation rental platform in the world, providing large travel distributors via a business-to-business model (B2B), our ALR inventory, as well as providingNextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com and EXVG.com provide both ALR products and auxiliary services directly to consumers, so travelers can purchase vacations throughcompete vacation packages. NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com. Additionally, we plan to provide the most qualified platform to assist property owners and managers the means to broaden their distribution for booking their homes. The Company serves three major constituents: (1) property owners and managers, (2) travelers and (3) other travel/lodging distributors. Property owners and managers provide detailed listings of their properties to the Company with the goal of reaching a broad audience of travelers seeking ALRs. The property owners and managers provide us their properties, at a preferential rate for each booking and, in return, their properties are listed for free as an available ALR on NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com (as well as with distributors) whereallow travelers will be able to search and compare our large and detailed inventory of listings to find ALRs meeting their needs.

Monaker is a technology driven Travel Company which has identified and sourced ALR products and which it converts into instantly bookable products; this is its distinguishing niche. The ALRs are owned and leased by third parties and are available to rent through Monaker’s websites as well as other distributors. Monaker’s services include critical elements such as technology, an extensive film library, trusted brands and established partnerships that enhance product offerings and reach. We believe that consumers are quickly adopting video for researching and educating themselves prior to purchases, and Monaker has carefully amassed video content, key industry relationships and a prestigious travel brand as cornerstones for the development and deployment of core-technology on both proprietary and partnership platforms.

Summary

Monaker sells travel services to leisure and corporate customers around the world. Our primary focus is to incorporate ALR options into our current offerings of scheduling, pricing and availability information for booking reservations for airlines, hotels, rental cars, and other travel products such as sightseeing tours, shows and event tickets, and theme park passes. The Company sells these travel services both individually and as components of dynamically-assembled packaged travel vacations and trips. In addition, the Company provides content that presents travelers with information about travel destinations, maps and other travel details. In February 2018, the Company introduced its new travel platform under the NextTrip brand. This platform continues to be improved with a focus on maximizing the consumer’s experience and assisting them in the decision and purchasing process.

The platform is a licensed technology (described below) that through our proprietary technology, allows our users to search large travel suppliers of alternative lodging inventories and present consumers comprehensive and optimal alternatives at the most inexpensive rates to choose from.

In March 2018, the Company introduced Travelmagazine.com, an online travel publication with the aim of giving travelers around the world inspiration for future travel destinations and trips. The publication offers written articles, videos, and podcasts. Moving forward, we plan for Travelmagazine.com to become a central hub of information for travelers who are looking to get detailed information on destinations all around the world. We also plan to move Travelmagazine.com from having content created by a team of staff writers, to a team of worldwide writers who will contribute content to the page for publication.publication in the future, funding permitting. The website is planned to be supported by advertising and allow for promotion of both ALR and Maupintour vacation products.

The Company plans to sellsells its travel services through various distribution channels. The primary distribution channel will beis through its B2Bbusiness-to-business (B2B) channel partners which include sales via (i) other travel companies’ websites and (ii) networks of third-party travel agents. Secondary distribution will occur through the Company’s own websitewebsites at NextTrip.com and NextTripVacations.com, through the NextTrip mobile application (“app”) and Nexttrip.biz. Additionally, we plan to offer specialty travel services via our websites, EXVG.com and Maupintour, targeting high touchvalue inventory to customers through a toll-free telephone number designed to assist customers with complex or high-priced offerings.

Monaker’s core holdings include NextTrip.com, NextTripVacations.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com and EXVG.com. NextTrip.com isand NextTripVacations.com are the primary consumer website,websites, where travel services and products are booked. The travel services and products include tours; activities/attractions; airlines; hotels; and car rentals and where ALRs will be booked.are booked as well. Maupintour complements the Nextrip.com offeringand NextTripVacations.com offerings by providing high-end tour packages and activities/attractions. EXVG.com is a specialized secondary website devoted to those ALRs that cannot be booked on a real-time basis. These ALRs tend to be sourced from owners and managers who have not invested in a reservation management system and/or the owner or manager prefers to personally vet the customer before accepting a booking; typically because the ALR is a high value property. EXVG.com travel services and products only include the aforementioned ALRs as well as tours and activities from Maupintour. NextTrip.biz is targeted at small to midsized businesses offering them a customized travel solution for business travel to meetings, conferences, conventions or even vacation travel and givesprovides the companies lower costs, better expense control and the option for a “self-branded”self-branded website.

Products and Services

Monaker plans to focus on marketing ALR options directly to consumers and to other travel distributors. The Company’s concentration on ALRs is driven by contracts with vacation home (including timeshare) unit owners and managers that are made available to consumers and to other travel portals (Distributors) for nightly or extended stays. In addition, we offer travelers activities and tours through our subsidiary, Maupintour. Therefore, not only can we assist a traveler with identifying a destination and the lodging at the destination, but we can provide options of activities while at the destination. We also provide the means for making arrangements for airline tickets, car rentals and lodging (i.e. hotels and ALRs in the near future). In summary, Monaker offers travelers the complete travel package made easy or… Travel Made EasyTM.

The average ALR search and booking takes a few hours while the average vacation planning process typically involves the consumer visiting up to seven travel websites and spending over 10 hours to book their vacation (according to Susan Ho, Founder of Journy). We believe the NextTrip.com website using the above features should reduce ALR/Vacation planning time from hours to minutes all with the convenience of one site (truly “Travel Made Easy”).

Products and Services for Property Owners and Managers

Listings. Property owners and managers are able to list a property, with no initial upfront fees, and provide those listings to us at a negotiated preferential rate for traveler bookings generated on our websites. Listings that are ‘real-time online bookable’ properties will be managed by the property owner or manager through an application program interface (API) which will provide real-time updates to each property and immediately notify the property owner or manager of all information regarding bookings, modifications to bookings and cancellations of bookings. Information such as content, descriptions and images are provided to us through that API.

Listings that are ‘request-accept’ properties will require communication and approval from the property owner or manager (hence ‘request-accept’) and will not be managed through an API (as discussed above). We will provide a set of tools for the property owner or manager which will enable them to manage an availability calendar, reservations, inquiries and the content of the listing. These tools will allow the property owner or manager to create the listing by uploading photographs, text descriptions or lists of amenities, a map showing the location of the property, and property availability, all of which can be updated throughout the term of the listing. Each listing will provide travelers the ability to use email or other methods to contact property owners and managers.

The listings will include tools and services to help property owners and managers run their vacation rental businesses more efficiently such as responding to and managing inquiries, preparing and sending rental quotes and payment invoices, allowing travelers to book online, including being able to enter into rental agreements with travelers online, and processing online payments. Property owners and managers that elect to process online payments will be subject to a transaction fee.

Redistribution of Listings. We will make selected, online bookable properties available to online travel agencies as well as channel partners (jointly referred to as “Distributors”). We will be compensated for these services by receiving a commission that is added to the negotiated net rate for each booking.

Products and Services for Travelers

Search Tools and Ability to Compare. Our online marketplace NextTrip.com provides travelers with tools to search for and filter several travel products including air, car, accommodations (including ALRs) and activities based on various criteria, such as destination, travel dates, type of property, number of bedrooms, amenities, price, or keywords.

Reviews and Ratings. Travelers will be able to submit online reviews of the ALRs they have rented through our websites. These reviews should convey the accuracy of the listing information found on our websites.

Sufficiency of Cash Flows

Because current cash balances and our projected cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, management intends to seek additional equity or obtain additional credit facilities. However, we may be unable to raise additional capital upon terms acceptable to us. The sale of additional equity will result in additional dilution to our shareholders. A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we evaluate potential acquisitions of such businesses, products or technologies.

We have very limited financial resources. We currently have a monthly cash requirement of approximately $180,000,$320,000, exclusive of capital expenditures. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support the on-going operation and increased market penetration of our products and services including the development of national advertising relationships, increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support our operations, if ever.ourselves. We believe that in the aggregate, we could require several millions of dollars to support and expand the marketing and development of our travel products, and services, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, office space and systems for managing ourthe business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from travel products are fully-implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. Our failure to obtain additional capital to finance our working capital needs on acceptable terms, or at all, will negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity. As of AugustMay 31, 2018,2019, we had approximately $2.2 million$2,137,852 of current liabilities.liabilities and negative working capital of $1,675,322.

Since our inception,To date, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from equity and debt financings and we anticipate we will continue to meet our funding requirements through the privatesale of equity financings. Currently, revenues provide less than 10%or debt financing, which funds may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We anticipate that we would need several millions of dollars to properly market our products and fund the operations for the next 12 months. Assuming we are able to raise the funds discussed above, we currently anticipate that by the fourth fiscal quarter of FYE February 29, 2020, our operations could be self-sustaining and providing the necessary cash requirements. Our remaining cash needs are derived from debt and equity raises.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of AugustMay 31, 2018,2019, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls 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, within the Company have been detected.

PART II – OTHER

INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to our business, including, among other things, matters involving breach of contract claims, intellectual property, employment issues, and other related claims and vendor matters.

Such current litigation and prior settlements are described in, and incorporated by reference in, this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” from, Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies”, under the heading “Legal Matters”. The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

On March 28, 2016,Additionally, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company was presented within a Demandreporting period for Arbitration, pursuant to Rule 4(a)amounts in excess of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Rules of Arbitration, whereby Acknew Investments, Inc. and Vice Regal Developments Inc. (Claimants) are arguing that $700,000 is due to them, even though they have already been paid said amounts through preferred shares that were issued as a guarantee and which Claimants converted into shares of common stock. In connection with the purchase of the stock of the entity that eventually became RealBiz Media Group, Inc., the Company issued 380,000 shares of Monaker Series D Preferred Stock shares with a value of $1,900,000, which was considered the $1,200,000 value of the stock portion of the purchase price, and was also meant to guaranty the payment of the balance of $700,000. The Company contends that the obligation to pay the $700,000 was extinguished with the conversion of the Monaker Series D Preferred Stock shares into shares of common stock. The date for arbitration has not been set and the Company will vehemently defend its position.

The Company is unable to determine the estimate of the probable or reasonable possible loss or range of losses arising from the above legal proceedings. 

On December 9, 2016, a class action lawsuit McLeod v. Monaker Group, Inc. et al (Case No.: 0:16-cv-62902-WJZ) was filed against us, William Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Donald Monaco, our director, and D’Arelli Pruzansky, P.A., our former auditor, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock and exercised options between April 6, 2012 and June 23, 2016 (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws and whethermanagement’s expectations, the Company’s former auditor was negligentfinancial condition and makes allegations regarding the activities of certain Company executives. The lawsuit alleges and estimates total shareholders losses totaling approximately $20,000,000. The lawsuit stems from the Company’s announcement in June 2016operating results for that it would have to restate its financial statements due to issues related to the Company’s investment in RealBiz. On February 16, 2017, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the lawsuit and on March 3, 2017, the Court entered an order staying discovery and all other proceedings pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss. On March 16, 2017, the plaintiffs responded to the Motion to Dismiss, and on March 30, 2017, we filed a Reply memorandum in support of our Motion to Dismiss. On January 24, 2018, the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint and gave Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint. On February 23, 2018, Mcleod, joined by new plaintiff, Ronald Mims, filed an Amended Complaint with the same allegations of security fraud as alleged in the original complaint. On March 29, 2018, we filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint, which the Plaintiffs have since filed a response to. On September 26, 2018, the parties amicably resolved the matter, resulting in the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice as reflected by a Final Order of Dismissal of the court on such date.

On December 22, 2017, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with RealBiz, NestBuilder.com Corp. (“Nestbuilder”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) relating to the dismissal with prejudice of certain pending lawsuits with RealBiz, including Case No.: 1:16-cv-24978-DLG, as described in greater detail above under “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” - “Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies” – “Legal Matters”. As part of the Settlement Agreement, Monaker agreed to pay Nestbuilder $100,000 and to issue 20,000 shares of Monaker’s restricted common stock to person(s) toreporting period could be designated by Nestbuilder; RealBiz reinstated to Monaker 44,470,101 shares of RealBiz Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and ratified all rights under the Certificate of Designation as reformed and amended (to provide for a conversion ratio of 1 share of RealBiz common stock for each 1 share of RealBiz Series A preferred stock converted) and remove any dividend obligations. The RealBiz designation was also amended to provide us with anti-dilution protection below $0.05 per share. Also, as part of the Settlement Agreement, Monaker received 49,411 shares of common stock of Nestbuilder. The agreement further provided for each party to dismiss the above referenced lawsuits with prejudice and for general releases from each party. As a result of the settlement, (i) the investment in equity securities, representing 44,470,101 shares of RealBiz Series A Preferred Stock, is recorded at $0 as of August 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018 and, (ii) the investment in equity securities, representing 49,411 shares of Nestbuilder’s common stock, is recorded at $0 as of August 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018.materially adversely affected.
