Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, the Company had:is reporting the following:

 

·Net loss of $4,011,5213,825,743; and
·Net cash used in operations wasof $3,054,7602,918,114

 

Additionally, at June 30, 2022,2023, the Company had:is reporting the following:

2023.

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception in 1998 and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

Without sufficient revenues from operations, if the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company may explore obtaining additional capital financing and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. TheThese consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

·Execution of business plan focused on technology growth and improvement,
·Seek out equity and/or debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders and investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable.
·Continuing to explore and execute prospective partnering or distribution opportunities,
·Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow.

 

Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic

 

During the three months and six monthsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2022, the Company’s financial results and operations were not materially adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, inThe Company is a data location company with a specialty to drive traffic to retail stores. In the prior two (2) years, the Company suffered from the Pandemiceffects of the pandemic due to lack of traffic to retail stores related to mandated stay-at-home restrictions and the Company drastically curtailed its operations. The extent to which the Company’s future financial results could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The pandemic also had an effect on the Company’s ability to attain new customers or retain existing customers, and to collect on its outstanding accounts receivable, resulting in an increase of its allowance for doubtful accounts in fiscal 2022, and the six months ended June 30, 2023, of approximately $324,000 and $46,000, respectively. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities.

 

These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s financial results and operations were not otherwise materially adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (“U.S. GAAP”)(U.S. GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)(SEC). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022,2023, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1)10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, filed with the SEC on May 23, 2022.March 31, 2023.

 

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Segments and Concentrations

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as a single reporting segment.

 

Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including stock-based compensation and deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changechanges in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks includingand the potential risk of overall business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and net earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product.service offerings. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuringat fair value, and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair valuewhich is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date,date. The valuation techniques are based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classifyobservable and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observableunobservable inputs. Observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use ofreflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs when determiningreflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

The three tiers are defined as follows:value:

 

 ·Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect1—Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;markets that the Company has the ability to access;
 ·Level 2 — Observable inputs other than2—Valuation based on observable quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities;liabilities in active markets; and
 ·Level 3 — Unobservable3—Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data,activity, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

The determination of fairFair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies appliedpertinent information available to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.management.

 

The Company’srespective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments including cash,approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, convertible notes payable and notes payable are carried at historical cost. Atcontract liabilities. On June 30, 20222023, and December 31, 2021, respectively,2022, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values because ofdue to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value based on current financing rates available to the Company and its short-term nature.

 

The Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and ConcentrationConcentrations of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

AtOn June 30, 20222023, and December 31, 2021, respectively,2022, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC,Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC), which is $250,000. AtAs of June 30, 20222023, and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company didhad not experienceexperienced any losses on cash balances in excess of the FDIC insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to funds could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021,2023, the Company exceeded FDIC insured limits by approximately $1,915,977 and $5,103,2731,350,000, and did not exceed the limits at December 31, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and fiscal year 2022, sales of our products to two and three customers, respectively, generated approximately 76% and 52% of our revenues, respectively. Our contracts with our customers generally do not obligate them to a specified term and they can generally terminate their relationship with us at any time with a minimal amount of notice. The loss of one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral. TwoFour of our customers combined accounted for approximately 39%54% and 42% of outstanding accounts receivable.receivable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company had net accounts receivable of $101,666, $340,935, and $388,112 on June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

10

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts.doubtful accounts. The Company provides anits allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

AllowanceThe allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $820,990 1,138,000 and $1,091,000at June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022, respectively. This allowance relates to receivables generated in previous years for which collection is uncertain, based in part, as thea result of many customers have beenbeing adversely impacted by COVID-19.

 

Bad debt expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets and compares this to the carrying amounts of the assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.No impairments were recognized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022.

11

  

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment isare stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repairrepairs and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in current results of operations.

 

Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill of $1,352,865represents the excess of the consideration transferred for acquired businessesthe acquisition of Advangelists, LLC in December 2018 over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets.assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead, it is tested for impairment at least annually. In the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a charge in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

 

The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31st of each year, or more frequently, if certain indicators are present. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (i) have discrete financial information available, (ii) engage in business activities, and (iii) whether a segment manager regularly reviews the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit associated with the acquired business based on the anticipated organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. The Company hadhas one reporting unit as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2021.2022. No impairment of goodwill was recognized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Intangible Assets

 

The Company acquired the majority of itsthe Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationship and the ATOS platform technology obtained through its acquisition of Advangelists LLC. The Company amortizes its identifiable definite-lived intangible assets over aan estimated period of 5 years. See Note 3 for further details.

 

In 2020 and 2021, the Company identified triggering events due to the reduction in its projected revenue from adverse economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty for recovery given the volatility of the capital markets. The Company performed impairment assessments of its ATOS Platform intangible asset in December 2020 and determined that the carrying value of the asset exceeded its fair value by an estimate of $4,000,000Software Development Costs. A similar assessment was performed in December 2021 resulting in additional impairment of $3,600,000. Both charges were recognized in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for a total loss on impairment of $7,600,000, which resulted in the asset being written down to a net book value of zero.

 

In accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, the Company records the cost of planning, designing, and establishing the technological feasibility of computer software intended for resale as research and development costs and charges those costs to operations when incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. After technological feasibility has been established, the costs of producing a marketable product and product masters are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is five years, beginning at the date of general release to customers. The Company began capitalizing costs associated with the development of its Ad Tech Operating System for Publishers platform in January 2023 when technological feasibility was deemed to have been established. Total software development costs capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $864,179. The platform was released to customers in May 2023. Amortization of $21,604 has been recognized on the software development costs as of June 30, 2023.

Derivative LiabilitiesFinancial Instruments

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”)(ASC 480), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”Equity and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “(ASC 815) Derivatives and Hedging”Hedging.

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from U.S. GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2022.

Terms of financial instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract under ASC 815 and ASU 2020-06 and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivative liabilities are adjustedremeasured to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in the results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.operations. The Company usesgenerally incorporates a binomial model to determine fair value.

Upon conversion of a notedebt instrument where thean embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, the Company records the resulting shares issued at fair value, relievesderecognizes all related notes, derivatives,debt principal, derivative liability, and debt discounts,discount, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risk.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are generated from internet advertising, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when promised services are transferred to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customercustomer.

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contractcontract.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services (performance obligations), the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Currently, the Company does not have any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations.

 

13

Determine the transaction priceprice.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts as of June 30, 2022,2023, and 2021, respectively,December 31, 2022 contained a significant financing component.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contractcontract.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. Currently, the Company does not have any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring athe promised service to a customer. Under both managed services arrangements or self-service arrangements, the Company’s promised services under the contracts include identification, bidding and purchasing of advertisement opportunities. The Company also generally has discretion in establishing the pricing of the ads. Since the Company is controlling the promise to deliver the contracted services, the Company is considered the principal in all arrangements for revenue recognition purposes.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days.

 

13

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligationobligations and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were $189,790 and $193,598, respectively in contract liabilities outstanding that we expect to recognize as revenue within the following fiscal year.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation, including stock options and common stock warrants, under ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation”Compensation, using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period for employee awards, which is usually the vesting period.period, and when the goods are obtained or services are received, for nonemployee awards. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges itits equity instruments for goods or services. It also addressesapplies to transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The Company usesoutstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the fair value method forholder and are classified as equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.awards.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is generally determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods..

  

When determining fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

·Exercise price,
·Expected dividends,
·Expected volatility,
·Risk-free interest rate; and
·Expected life of option

 

15

Stock Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date and records fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes”Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differencetemporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as incomegain or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

14

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”.740. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of June 30, 2022,2023, and December 31, 2021, respectively,2022, the Company had nodid not identify any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized uncertain income tax positions, in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, and 2021, respectively.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’snew accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity,deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. 

 

Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions: On September 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 (ASU 2022-03), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security, including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a “contractual restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security unit of account. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value (i.e., the entity should not apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction, as stated in ASC 820-10-35-36B as amended by the ASU). The ASU also prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. For public business entities, ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Financial Instrument – Credit LossesLosses: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-13”) (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. An entity may early adopt ASU No. 2019-05 in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, and the expectedadoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers: In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”)(ASU 2021-08). Under ASU 2021-08, an acquirer in a business combination must apply ASC 606 principles when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities. The provisions of ASU 2021-08 are applicable for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023, and the impactadoption of ASU 2021-08the guidance did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions: On June 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security, including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a “contractual restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security’s unit of account. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value (i.e., the entity should not apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction, as stated in ASC 820-10-35-36B as amended by the ASU). The ASU also prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. For public business entities, ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year.

We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2022; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Correction of Prior Period Information

During the review of the Company’s financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, the Company identified errors in the accounting and presentation of expenses and losses recorded for certain debt conversions, recording of stock option compensation expense, and expense related to shares issued for services, relating to the three months ended March 31, 2022. These errors resulted in the recording of $39,271 in less general and administrative expenses, $233,526 in additional other expenses, and a reclassification of $450,865 from general and administrative expenses to other expense, resulting in an understatement of net loss of $194,255. If reported correctly, the Company would have recorded $2,038,453 in general and administrative expenses, ($2,486,802) in loss from operations, $831,888 in other expenses, net, and a net loss of ($2,634,299) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. To correct these errors, the Company recorded the corrections in the three month period ended June 30, 2022. If reported correctly for the three months ended June 30, 2022, then the Company would have reported $2,216,694 in general and administrative expenses, ($1,048,051) in loss from operations, $329,171 in other income (expenses), net, and a net loss of ($1,377,222). In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (“SAB 99” and ”SAB 108”), the Company evaluated this error and concluded that although the adjustment to certain areas of the statement of operations was quantitatively material, the cumulative effects were quantitatively and qualitatively immaterial and would not have materially impacted a reasonable investor’s opinion of the Company. This is further supported by the fact that the impact would not have been significant in comparison to prior periods and all errors are of a non-cash nature. Therefore, as permitted by SAB 108 and treated under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company corrected previously recorded results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, to account for the error in this current filing. As a result, the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects the corrected expenses, operating loss and net loss.

See also Note 3 for restatement of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

1Previously reported the fair value associated with the issuance of shares of common stock in conjunction with the issuance of short-term convertible debt notes as “Loss on sale of company stock.” The value was reclassified to "Interest expense." No impact on net loss or loss per share.
2Financial statement line description was changed from “Original issue discount” to “Interest expense - amortization of debt discount” for financial statement presentation purposes. No impact on net loss or loss per share.
3The Company previously reported $219,600 in the consolidated financial statement line item “Loss on sale of company stock” for the excess of the fair value of shares of common stock issued upon the conversions over the face value of the convertible debt. Since the convertible debt notes were converted at original conversion terms no gain or loss should have been reflected. The $219,600 was reclassified as a reduction to “Additional paid-in capital” on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, which reduced the consolidated net loss.
4Previously reported “Forgiveness of SBA - PPP loan” as other comprehensive income. The value was reclassified to “Other income (expense)” within continuing operations. No impact on net loss or loss per share.

The promissory notes contain an automatic conversion feature, effectively converting all outstandingloan is to be repaid in monthly installments, including principal and unpaid principal oninterest, of $731, beginning twelve months from the maturity date at a conversion rate of $4.00 per share.the loan. Total accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible notesdebt was $8,425$13,594 at June 30, 2022 and is included in accounts payable and accrued interest on the accompanying balance sheet (see Note 9).

(d)Gene Salkind, who is a director of the Company, and an affiliate of Dr. Salkind executed 15% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in September 2019. The convertible promissory notes have the following terms, as amended:

·The Salkind lenders may convert the notes at any time at a conversion rate of $4.00.

·The Company may convert the notes at any time that the trailing thirty (30) day volume weighted average price per share (as more particularly described in the Notes) of the Company’s common stock is above $4.00 per share.

Upon conversion of the debt principal, the Company is to issue warrants to the debt holders for the purchase of common shares of the Company. The number of shares granted under the warrants is equivalent to 50% of the total shares issued under the debt principal converted. The warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $4.00 per share through September 2029.

The notes contained customary events of default, which, if uncured, entitle the holders to accelerate payment of the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest under their notes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the debt holders converted all the remaining $2,052,500 of outstanding debt in two separate conversion transactions at a mutually and board approved reduced conversion price of $1.50 and $1.25 per share which also resulted in additional warrants being issued due to 50% warrant coverage based on the total shares issued. A total of 1,776,333 restricted common shares and warrants to purchase 888,166 restricted common shares at an exercise price of $4.00 per share through September 2029 were issued in connection with these conversions. The Company determined that these transactions resulted in debt extinguishment accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. As a result, the Company recorded a total loss on debt extinguishment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $855,296, which represented the excess of the debt reacquisition price over its carrying value at the time of the conversions. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Salkind convertible notes of $238,750 remains outstanding at June 30,December 31, 2022 and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet which cansheet.

On January 5, 2023, the Company paid $163,885 to the Small Business Administration to pay off all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Company’s SBA loan.

Investor Note Payable

On December 30, 2022, the Company and Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (the Investor), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) for the Investor to purchase from the Company (i) a senior secured 20% original issue discount (OID) nine-month promissory note in an aggregate gross principal amount of $1,437,500, less the 20% OID of $287,500, for a net subscription amount of $1,150,000 (the Investor Note), and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase 2,613,636 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share, exercisable commencing July 1, 2023 and expiring December 30, 2027 (the Investor Warrant). Proceeds from the Agreement were received by the Company in January 2023. If at any time commencing July 1, 2023, the Company issues, sells, or announces for sale, any shares of its common stock (Subsequent Equity Sale) for a per share price less than the exercise price of the Investor Warrant in effect immediately prior to such Subsequent Equity Sale, the exercise price of the Investor Warrant shall be reduced to an amount equal to the issuance price of the Subsequent Equity Sale.

In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company issued 522,727 shares of common stock, or approximately 5.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares, to the Investor as an incentive on the transaction (Incentive Shares). Excluding the above referenced Investor Warrant, the shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to such Investor Warrant are not being considered beneficially owned by the Investor until the Investor Warrant is exercisable within 60 days. Total issuance fees of $138,500 associated with the closing of the Agreement were paid by the Company to Spartan Capital Securities LLC and the Investor’s counsel, resulting in net proceeds of $1,011,500. Approximately $163,000 of the loan proceeds were utilized to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the SBA loan (see above).

The Investor Note will only become convertible into common stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Investor Note on terms set forth in the Investor Note. This Investor Note matures and is payable on or before September 30, 2023, and it provides that the Investor may demand prepayment after March 31, 2023 and before the maturity date, provided that the purchasers of securities in a future public offering by the Company, as defined in the Agreement, who hold the purchased Company securities at the original conversion ratetime the prepayment demand, unanimously consent to the prepayment. The Company granted a security interest in all of $4.its assets to the Investor as collateral for its obligations under the Investor Note pursuant to a Security Agreement. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Investor Note pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee and granted a first lien security interest in all of their assets to the Investor as additional collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement. All securities sold in the above-described transaction contain certain piggy-back registration rights after the completion of our February 2023 Offering (see Note 5). On June 30, 2023, the secured debt was paid in full through the proceeds of our June 2023 Offering. See Note 5.

The aforementioned Investor Warrant was deemed to be an equity-classified derivative instrument with a fair value of $1,526,363 at the date of closing on the Agreement, incorporating the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the Incentive Shares were deemed to have a fair value of $318,863 based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day preceding the closing of the Agreement. Per accounting guidance under ASC 815, the Company recorded the fair values of the Investor Warrant and Incentive Shares based on the relative fair value allocation method, which allocates fair values as a percentage of total fair value of the debt, Investor Warrant, and Incentive Shares, in proportion to the net proceeds received (after deducting fees paid to lender) under the Investor Note of $1,150,000. As a result of applying the relative fair value allocation method, the Investor Warrant was assigned a relative fair value of $586,040 and the Incentive Shares were assigned a relative fair value of $122,426, at the date of closing on the Agreement. The fair values of the Investor Warrant, the Incentive Shares, the OID of $287,500, and the $138,500 in debt issuance costs paid, were recorded as debt discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $1,134,466. Amortization associated with the total debt discounts is being recognized using the effective interest method over the term of the Investor Note, which matures on September 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $377,149 and $738,143, respectively, in amortization on the debt discounts was recognized as interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The remaining unamortized debt discounts at June 30, 2023 of $396,323 were written off as loss on debt extinguishment upon full settlement of the Investor Note in conjunction with proceeds received from the June 2023 Offering. See Note 5.

The 2005 Plan, 2009 Plan, 2016 Plan, 2018 Plan, 2019 Plan and 2021 plansPlan are collectively referred to as the “Plans.”

 

In March of 2022, Anne S. Provost was elected to the board of directors and was issued granted 25,000 options from the Company’s 2021 stock option planPlan with immediate vesting, withat an exercise price of $4.57,$4.57, and expiration of December 2031.

In April of 2022 and April 2023, Dean Julia was granted 12,500 options from the Company’s 2021 Plan with immediate vesting, at an exercise price of $1.55 and $0.22 and expiration of April 2031 and April 2032, respectively.

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to the provisions of ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. Previously, such assumptions were determined based on historical data.Stock Compensation. The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options granted during the three months and six monthsquarters ended June 30, 2022,2023, and June 30, 202012022 are as follows:

Pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Diluted earnings (loss) 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 the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, are as follows:

NOTE 8 – LITIGATION

 

InMichael Trepeta, a Current Report on Form 8-K filed byformer Co-CEO and director of the Company, on March 23, 2022, the Company reported the termination of the Employment Agreement of Donald (Trey) Barrett III as Chief Operations and Strategy Officer. On April 12, 2022, Mr. Barrett commenced an arbitrationfiled a lawsuit against the Company beforeand its subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks in April 2023 in the American Arbitration Association allegingNew York State Supreme Court, Nassau County. The claims stem from a Separation Agreement and Release that Mr. Trepeta and the Company entered six years ago in April 2017 which terminated Mr. Trepeta’ s employment agreement and discontinued his employment and directorship with the Company, among other things, by mutual agreement. Mr. Trepeta also gave the Company a release in the Separation Agreement and Release. Mr. Trepeta has claimed that the Company terminatedfraudulently induced him to enter into the Separation Agreement and Release; that the Company breached Mr. Barrett without causeTrepeta’ s employment agreement; and that the Company breached its covenant of good faith and fair dealing and its fiduciary duty. Mr. Trepeta is claiming not less than $2.5 Million in breachdamages. Based on the Company’s initial internal review of the Employment Agreement. On August 12, 2022situation, the Company believes the claims lack merit and Mr. Barrettit intends to vigorously defend same. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

NOTE 9 –NASDAQ LISTING REQUIREMENTS

Our common stock and 2021 Warrants are listed on the NasdaqCM. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing standards.

On January 13, 2023, we received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company has a 180-day grace period, until July 12, 2023, during which the Company may regain compliance if the bid price of its common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

If we do not regain compliance with the bid price requirement, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period so long as we satisfy the criteria for initial listing on the NasdaqCM and the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and we provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. A reverse stock split requires the approval of our shareholders, and we cannot assure that we will receive the requisite shareholder vote to allow us to effectuate a stock split. In the event we are not eligible for the second grace period, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notice that our Common Stock is subject to delisting; however, we may request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which request, if timely made, would stay any further suspension or delisting action by the Nasdaq pending the conclusion of the hearing process and expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Hearings Panel.

On January 4, 2023, we received a deficiency notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NasdaqCM notifying the Company of its noncompliance with the NasdaqCM Listing Rule 5620(a) to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within no later than one year after the end of the Company’s fiscal year end. Under NasdaqCM Rules the Company had 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and can grant up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 29, 2023, to regain compliance. In May 2023, this deficiency was cured.

On December 14, 2022, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NasdaqCM notifying the Company of its noncompliance with the NasdaqCM Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for the NasdaqCM, which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2.5 million. In accordance with NasdaqCM rules, the Company had 45 calendar days from the date of the notification to submit a plan to regain compliance with NasdaqCM Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The Company submitted a compliance plan to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance and the Company was granted up to May 30, 2023, to evidence compliance. As the Company was not in compliance on that date, the Company received a notice of delisting and is currently appealing this notice with a hearing date scheduled for July 27, 2023.

The Company intends to regain compliance with each of the applicable continued listing requirements of The NasdaqCM prior to the end of the compliance periods set forth in the Hearings Panel decision or on appeal at one or more hearings. However, until Nasdaq has reached a settlement in which, among other things,final determination that the Company has regained compliance with all of the applicable continued listing requirements, there can be no assurances regarding the continued listing of the Company’s common stock and Mr. Barrett mutually deemed2021 Warrants on Nasdaq. If our common stock and 2021 Warrants cease to be listed for trading on the NasdaqCM, we would expect that our Common Stock and 2021 Warrants would be traded on one of the termination was not for-cause,three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group. If Nasdaq were to delist our common stock and 2021 Warrants, it would be more difficult for our stockholders to dispose of our common stock or 2021 Warrants and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock or 2021 Warrants. The delisting of the Company’s common stock and 2021 Warrants from Nasdaq would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s access to capital markets, and any limitation on market liquidity or reduction in the price of its common stock as a result of that delisting would adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, agreed to pay Mr. Barrett a sum which is not material to the business or financial condition of the Company, and Mr. Barrett’s non-competition restrictive covenant was canceled. The Company has recorded the liability in full settlement of the claim which is included in the accounts payable and accrued expenses.if at all.

Company Overview

Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. isWe are a next-generation marketing and advertising technology, data compliance and data intelligence company which operates through our three proprietary software platforms in the programmatic advertising industry.

The Programmatic Advertising Industry

Programmatic advertising refers to the automated buying and selling of digital ad space. In contrast to manual advertising, which relies on human interaction and negotiation between publishers and marketers, programmatic ad buying harnesses technology to purchase digital display space. This use of software and algorithms helps streamline ad buying processes, which is why programmatic has become one of the most indispensable digital marketing tools worldwide. According to Statista, in 2021, global programmatic ad spends reached an estimated 418.4 billion U.S. dollars, with spending set to surpass 493 billion by 2022. The United States remains the leading programmatic advertising market worldwide.

Our Mission

 

Our product solutions are comprisedmission is to help enterprises in the programmatic industry become more efficient and effective regarding the monetization of twoadvertising, audience segments and data compliance. We do this by offering three proprietary software platforms:solutions: Our ATOS platform for brands and agencies, our data intelligence platform for audience segments and targeting, and our publisher platform for privacy compliance and publisher monetization.

 

 ·Our advertising technology operating system (or ATOS) platform; and
25 
·Our data intelligence platform.

Our Opportunity

Due to the recent changes to Privacy Laws, such as GDPR and CCPA, along with Apple and Google’s removal of Identifiers, we believe Publishers are facing two significant issues: increasing costs due to privacy compliance laws and decreasing revenue, due to the lack of audience targeting. We believe there is a major paradigm shift occurring in the market, where user data and the targeting intelligence to use it must shift from middlemen directly to the content publishers. Publishers must own their first party data and manage their audiences’ segments in-house. We believe that irrespective of whether a publisher chooses to work with us or not, they need to find a solution that allows advertisers to buy directly from them.

Our Solutions

Programmatic Advertising Platform

 

Our ATOSadvertising technology operating system (or ATOS) platform is a single-vendor end-to-end solution that blends artificial intelligence (or AI) and machine learning (ML) based(or ML)-based optimization technology for automatic ad serving that automatically serves advertising and manages digital advertising inventorycampaigns. Our ATOS platform engages with approximately 10 billion advertisement opportunities per day.

As an automated programmatic ecosystem, ATOS increases speed and campaigns. performance, by providing dynamic technology that scales in real-time. It is this proprietary cloud-based architecture that keeps costs down and allows us to pass along savings to our customers. Also, by offering more of the features inherent in a digital advertising campaign and removing the need for third-party integration of those features, we believe that our ATOS platform can be substantially more time efficient and cost efficient than other Demand-Side Platforms (or DSPs). Our ATOS platform also decreases the effective cost basis for users by integrating all the necessary capabilities at no additional cost as compared to the costs to outsource these capabilities to one or more providers in a fragmented ecosystem. DSP and bidding technologies, AdCop™ Fraud Protection, rich media and ad serving, attribution, reporting dashboard and DMP are all included in our ATOS platform.

Data Intelligence Platform

Our data intelligence platform provides precise data and insights on consumer’s real-world behavior and trends for use in marketing and research. Our management believes, based on our experience in the industry, that we provide one of the most accurate and scaled solution for data collection and analysis, utilizing multiple internally developed proprietary technologies.

 

We operate our business through two wholly owned subsidiaries. Advangelists LLC operates our ATOS platform business, and Mobiquity Networks, Inc. operatesprovide our data intelligence platform business.to our customers on a managed services basis, and also offer a self-service alternative through our MobiExchange product, which is a software-as-a-service (or SaaS) fee model. MobiExchange is a data-focused technology solution that enables users to rapidly build actionable data and insights for its own use. MobiExchange’s easy-to-use, self-service tools allow anyone to reduce the complex technical and financial barriers typically associated with turning offline data, and other business data, into actionable digital products and services. MobiExchange provides out-of-the box private labeling, flexible branding, content management, user management, user communications, subscriptions, payment, invoices, reporting, gateways to third party platforms, and help desk, among other things.

Publisher Platform for Monetization and Compliance

Our content publisher platform is a single-vendor ad tech operating system that allows publishers to better monetize their opt-in user data and advertising inventory. The platform includes tools for: consent management, audience building, a direct advertising interface and inventory enhancement. Our publisher platform provides content publishers the functionality to use its user identifier data to create inventories of profiled data segments and to target audiences with advertising using that data, in a data privacy compliant manner.

Our Revenue Sources

We target publishers, brands, advertising agencies and other advertising technology companies as our audience for our three platform products. Our sales and marketing strategy is focused on providing a de-fragmented operating system that facilitates a considerably more efficient and effective way for advertisers and publishers to transact with each other. Our goal is to become the programmatic display advertising industry standard for small and medium sized advertisers. We generate revenue from our platforms through two verticals:

·The first is licensing one or more of our platforms as a white-label product for use by advertising agencies, demand-side platforms (or DSP’s), brands and publishers. Under the white-label scenario, the user licenses a platform from us and is responsible for running its own business operations and is billed a percentage of amounts spent on advertising run through the platform.
·The second revenue stream is a managed services model, in which, the user is billed a higher percentage of revenue run through a platform, but all services are managed by us.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience, and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changechanges in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant riskrisks and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

27

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuringat fair value, and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair valuewhich as is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date,date. The valuation techniques are based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classifyobservable and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observableunobservable inputs. Observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use ofreflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs when determiningreflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

The three tiers are defined as follows:value: 

 

 ·Level 1 —Observable inputs that reflect1—Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;markets that the Company has the ability to access;
 ·Level 2—Observable inputs other thanValuation based on observable quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities;liabilities in active markets; and
 ·Level 3—UnobservableValuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data,activity, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

The determination of fairFair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies appliedpertinent information available to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.management.

 

The Company’srespective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments including cash,approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. Atcontract liabilities. On June 30, 20222023, and December 31, 2021, respectively,2022, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values because ofdue to the short-term nature of these instruments, or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value based on current financing rates available to the Company and its short-term nature.

The Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts.doubtful accounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

28

Allowance for doubtful accounts was $820,990 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Bad debt expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets and compares this to the carrying amounts of the assets.

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) to align revenue recognition more closely with the delivery of the Company’s services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

Identify the contract with a customercustomer.

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contractcontract.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

28

Determine the transaction priceprice.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts as of June 30, 2022,2023, and 2021, respectively,December 31, 2022, contained a significant financing component.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contractcontract.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

29

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company satisfies performance obligations either over timeovertime or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

 

For each revenue stream we onlyEach of the Company’s customer contracts is deemed to have a single performance obligation.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation”Compensation using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usuallygenerally the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date)options and is recognized over the vesting periods.other equity instruments granted to both employees and non-employees.

 

When determining fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company considers the following assumptions inincorporated into the Black-Scholes model:

 

·Exercise price,
·Expected dividends,
·Expected volatility,
·Risk-free interest rate; and
·Expected life of option

Recent Issued Accounting StandardsPronouncements

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’snew accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form ofFinancial Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”)Board (FASB) through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements,that when adopted, will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In August 2020,Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions: On September 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments2022-03 (ASU 2022-03), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security, including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulnessremaining duration of the information providedcorresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a “contractual restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security unit of account. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value (i.e., the entity should not apply a discount related to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removescontractual sale restriction, as stated in ASC 820-10-35-36B as amended by the ASU). The ASU also prohibits an entity from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated intorecognizing a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted forcontractual sale restriction as a derivative or the debtseparate unit of account. For public business entities, ASU 2022-03 is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only atpermitted. The Company is currently evaluating the beginningimpact of the fiscal year.ASU 2022-03 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

EvaluationAs required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures

A control deficiency exists when as of December 31, 2022, and quarterly since that date. Based upon this evaluation, the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reportingChief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Our management has determined that,were not effective as of June 30, 2022,2023, due primarily to the Company’s disclosure controls are not effective, includinglack of segregation of duties in the following:finance and accounting department similar to other companies our size.

 

 ·35The Company lacks segregation of duties similar to other companies our size; and

 

·Given our restatement of the year ended December 31, 2021, financial statements, we lacked the necessary controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of hiring additional staff both internally and externally to the Finance department with sufficient GAAP and public company financial reporting experience

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarteryear, which includes the integration of the new staff, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

We performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

 

Continuing Internal Controls Remediation Efforts

During fiscal 2022 the Company identified control gaps and deficiencies. The Company has worked to remediate the gaps, deficiencies, and material weaknesses in its internal controls. The Board of Directors and The Audit Committee, as a priority, initiated these remediation activities to ensure the Company has proper internal controls over financial reporting and corporate governance. These steps will continue in fiscal 2023. To demonstrate these controls are effective, the Company has instituted independent monitoring and testing of these aforementioned controls.

On December 30, 2022, the Company and Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (the Investor), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Agreement), which closed on January 4, 2023, for the Investor to purchase from the Company (i) a senior secured 20% OID nine-month promissory note in an aggregate original principal amount of $1,437,500 (the Investor Note), and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase 2,613,636 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share which is not exercisable until July 1, 2023 (the Investor Warrant). A total of 522,727 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 7.5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (post-issuance), were issued to the Investor as an incentive on the transaction, excluding the above referenced Investor Warrant, the shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to such Investor Warrant not being considered beneficially owned by the Investor until the Investor Warrant is exercisable within 60 days. A fee of $103,500 plus warrants to purchase 26,136 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $0.484 per share, were issued to Spartan Capital Securities LLC. These warrants were subsequently cancelled on February 7, 2023. Approximately $163,000 of the loan proceeds were utilized to retire a small business loan originally in the principal amount of $150,000. The Investor Note will only become convertible into Common Stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Investor Note on terms set forth in the Investor Note. This Note matures and is payable on or before September 30, 2023, and it provides that the investor may demand prepayment after March 31, 2023, and before the maturity date, provided that the purchasers of securities in the offering covered by this prospectus who hold the purchased Company securities at the time the prepayment demand is made unanimously consent to the prepayment.

If we are unable to raise additional funding after the recently completed offering or do not generate sufficient cashflow to repay the Note when due, we will be in default under the Note if we do not pay it.
