Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Loans Receivable and Accounts Receivable The Company extended credit to its licensees in the normal course of business and performs credit evaluations of its customers. The Company no longer offers extended payment terms. Loans and accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customer’s net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time loan and accounts receivable are past due and the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. The Company writes off loans and accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, fair value of financial instruments, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include recoverability and useful lives of intangible assets, the valuation allowance related to the Company's deferred tax assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts related and notes and accounts receivable, the fair value of stock options and warrants granted to employees, consultants, directors, investors and placement agents, notes, derivative liabilities (conversion option) and assumptions used to fair value the inducement expense related to the warrant tender offer. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenues primarily in the form of set up fees, license fees, messaging, equipment and marketing services fees and value added mobile marketing and mobile commerce services. License fees are charged monthly for support services. Set-up fees primarily consist of fees for website development services (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available), training and professional services that are not essential to functionality. The Company offers two licenses consisting of our Engage license and our Thrive license. The Company now offers both licenses in a combined package known as the Customer Loyalty System License (“CLS”). The revenues for Engage, Thrive, and CLS license set-up fees are recognized over the training and implementation periods of one month, respectively. The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following conditions are met: ● there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; ● the products or services have been delivered to the customer; ● the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and ● The collection of the related fees is probable. Signed agreements are used as evidence of an arrangement. Electronic delivery occurs when we provide the customer with access to the software. The Company assesses whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement, primarily based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. The Company offered extended payment terms in 2014 and 2015 with regards to the setup fee with typical terms of payment due between one and three years from delivery of license. The Company no longer offers extended payment terms. The Company assessed collectability of the set-up fee based on a number of factors such as collection history and creditworthiness of the licensee. If the Company determines that collectability is not probable, revenue is deferred until collectability becomes probable, generally upon receipt of cash. License arrangements may also include set-up fees for website development, delivery of tablets, professional services and training services, which are typically delivered within 30-60 days of the contract term. In determining whether set-up fee revenues should be accounted for separately from license revenues, we evaluate whether the set-up fees are considered essential to the functionality of the license using factors such as the nature of our products; whether they are ready for use by the customer upon receipt; the nature of our implementation services, which typically do not involve significant customization to or development of the underlying software code; the availability of services from other vendors; whether the timing of payments for license revenues is coincident with performance of services; and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realizability of the license fee. Substantially all of our set-up fee arrangements are recognized as the services are performed. Payments received in advance of services performed are deferred and recognized when the related services are performed. We do not offer refunds and therefore have not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic review of outstanding accounts and notes receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Deferred revenue consists substantially of amounts invoiced in advance of revenue recognition for our products and services described above. We recognize deferred revenue as revenue only when the revenue recognition criteria are met. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in money market funds, bank certificates of deposit and U.S. government debt securities whose cost equals fair market value. From time to time, the Company has maintained bank balances in excess of insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to cash. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents. Property and Equipment Property and equipment had been recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally three to five years). Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0 and $0, and $628,999 and $535,286, respectively. Property and equipment has been fully depreciated as of September 30, 2016. Software Capitalization The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. ASC 350 requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when (i) the preliminary project stage is complete, (ii) management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and (iii) it is probable both that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended. We capitalized $291,957 and $732,533, respectively, in software development related to programming and coding for new product development for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Software amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $128,765 and $360,262, and $82,456 and $178,003, respectively. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the estimated fair value of the assets. There has not been any impairment recorded during the period ended September 30, 2016. Income Tax Expense Estimates and Policies As part of the income tax provision process of preparing the Company’s financial statements, the Company is required to estimate the Company’s provision for income taxes. This process involves estimating current tax liabilities together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management then assesses the likelihood that the Company deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent believed that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Further, to the extent a valuation allowance is established and changes occur to this allowance in a financial accounting period, such changes are recognized in the Company’s tax provision in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company’s use of judgment in making estimates to determine the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance is recorded against our net deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s income tax returns if it is “more likely than not” that such tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or accrued penalties and interest. If such matters were to arise, the Company would recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock based compensation arrangements through the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions to calculate the value of options and warrants. The Company uses historical company data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate and not comparable company information. Net Income (Loss) per Share The Company calculates basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing the Company’s net income(loss) and comprehensive net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss and comprehensive net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 diluted earnings per common share are computed by the numerator effected by the gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability and the denominator is increased to include the number of additional potential common shares from the warrants underlying the warrant liability. Diluted earnings per common shares were calculated using the following net income and weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Net income $ 176,882 Gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability (389,658 ) Diluted earnings $ (212,776 ) Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding: Basic number of common shares outstanding 39,315,995 Dilutive effect of warrants 12,138,166 Diluted number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding: 51,454,161 For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, diluted net loss per common share is equal to the basic net loss per common share since all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 consist of convertible notes, common stock options, investor warrants, and compensation warrants: September 30, 2016 2015 Convertible notes 8,719,640 1,512,500 Common stock options 19,726,842 8,666,833 Investor warrants 37,995,156 23,861,368 Compensation warrants 1,981,667 1,895,000 Excluded potentially dilutive securities 68,423,305 35,935,701 Derivatives - Warrant Liability The Company accounts for the common stock warrants granted and still outstanding as of September 30, 2016 in connection with certain financing transactions (“Transactions”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" whereby under that provision they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Transactions has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company accounted for certain of its outstanding warrants issued in fiscal 2010, 2012 and 2013 (“2010 Warrants,” “2012 Warrants” and “2013 Warrants, respectively) as derivative liabilities. The 2010 Warrants were determined to be ineligible for equity classification due to provisions of the respective instruments that may result in an adjustment to their conversion or exercise prices. The Company recognized gains of $0 and $47,209 in the fair value of derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $0 and $19,221 in the fair value of derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These derivative liabilities which arose from the issuance of the 2010 Warrants resulted in an ending balance of derivative liabilities of $0 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These warrants expired in November 2015. The Company accounts for certain of its outstanding warrants issued in fiscal 2016 (“2016 Warrants”) as derivative liabilities. The 2016 Warrants were determined to be ineligible for equity classification due to provisions of the respective instruments that may result in an adjustment to their conversion or exercise prices. The Company recognized gains of $1,756,087 and $0 in the fair value of derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized gains of $781,085 and $0 in the fair value of derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These derivative liabilities which arose from the issuance of the 2016 Warrants resulted in an ending balance of derivative liabilities of $2,343,255 and $0 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Debt discount and issuance costs Debt issuance costs, including the value of warrants issued in connection with debt financing and fees or costs paid to lender, are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the term of the respective debt using the effective interest method. Derivatives – Bifurcated Conversion Option in Convertible Notes The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has issued Convertible Notes with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The Convertible Notes issued during the year ended December 31, 2015 are subject to anti-dilution adjustments that allow for the reduction in the Conversion Price, as defined in the agreement, in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities including Common Stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock for a price less than the current conversion price. The Company bifurcated and accounted for the conversion option in accordance with ASC 815 as a derivative liability, since this conversion feature is not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company’s derivative liability has been measured at fair value at September 30, 2016 using a Monte-Carlo Simulation. Inputs into the model require estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company’s stock, estimated probabilities of additional financing, risk-free interest rate, and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued. In addition, since the conversion price contains an anti-dilution adjustment, the probability that the Conversion Price of the Notes would decrease as the share price decreased was also incorporated into the valuation calculation. The Company modified two existing Notes during the first quarter 2016 and three existing Notes during the second quarter, 2016. According to FASB ASC 470-50, the modification is accounted for as a debt extinguishment, whereby the new debt instrument is initially recorded at fair value, and that amount is used to determine the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized and the effective rate of the new instrument. We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $415,689, of which $106,766 was related to the repricing of warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company recognized a gain of $239,582 and $186,026 in the fair value of derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These derivative liabilities which arose from the issuance of the convertible notes resulted in an ending balance of derivative liabilities of $2,711 and $179 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative liabilities will continue to require adjustments to their carrying value that will be recorded as other income (in the event that their value decreases) or as other expense (in the event that their value increases). The fair value of these liabilities is estimated using Monte Carlo pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the Company’s warrants, preferred and common stock, as well as assumptions for volatility, remaining expected life, risk-free interest rate and, in some cases, credit spread. Fair value of assets and liabilities Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: ● Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; ● Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and ● Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and derivative liabilities. The recorded values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The fair value of derivative liabilities is estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of our warrants, preferred and common stock, the derivative liability on the valuation date as well as assumptions for volatility, remaining expected life, risk-free interest rate and, in some cases, credit spread. The derivative liabilities and earn-out liabilities are the only Level 3 fair value measures. A summary of quantitative information with respect to valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows: A summary of quantitative information with respect to valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s conversion options that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2016 is as follows: Date of Valuation September 30, 2016 Stock Price $0.06 Volatility (Annual) 112.2% Strike Price $0.15 - $0.75 Risk-free Rate 0.86 - 0.85% Maturity Date 10/2/16 - 6/26/19 At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the estimated Level 3 fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2016: Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative liability-warrants liability $ 2,343,255 - - $ 2,343,255 Derivative liability – convertible options $ 2,711 - - $ 2,711 Total securities $ 2,345,966 $ - $ - $ 2,345,966 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2015: Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Earn-out liability $ - $ - $ - $ - Derivative liability – convertible options $ 179 $ - $ - $ 179 Total securities $ 179 $ - $ - $ 179 The following tables present the activity for Level 3 liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016: Fair Value Measurements Using Level 3 Inputs WarrantDerivative Liability Warrant ConversionNotes Conversion Earn-outLiability Earn-out Total Balance - December 31, 2015 $ - 179 - $ 179 Additions during the period 4,099,342 242,114 - 4,341,456 Total Unrealized (gains) or losses include in net loss (1,756,087 ) (239,582 ) - (1,995,669 ) Settlements during the period - - - - Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 - - - - Balance - September 30, 2016 $ 2,343,255 2,711 - $ 2,345,966 Advertising The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company has no existing arrangements under which the Company provides or receives advertising services from others for any consideration other than cash. Advertising expenses (primarily in the form of Internet direct marketing) totaled $49,537 and $102,949 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising expenses (primarily in the form of Internet direct marketing) totaled $125,607 and $255,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Litigation From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation and other legal actions. The Company estimates the range of liability related to any pending litigation where the amount and range of loss can be estimated. The Company records its best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated losses with no best estimate in the range, the Company records a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Intangible assets Intangible assets consist of intellectual property/technology, customer lists, and trade-name/marks acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting are recorded at fair value net of accumulated amortization since the acquisition date. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives at the following annual rates: Useful Lives IP/technology 10 Trade-name/marks 10 The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a finite-lived intangible asset is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined based on discounted cash flows. Amortization of intangible assets was $144,855 and $253,219 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $48,285 and $84,660 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. According to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 (“ASC 360”), a long-lived asset (group) that is held and used should be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount (book value) of the long-lived asset (group) might not be recoverable (i.e. information indicates that an impairment might exist). As a result, companies are not required to perform an impairment analysis (i.e. test the asset (group) for recoverability and potentially measure an impairment loss) if indicators of impairment are not present. Instead, entities would assess the need the need for an impairment write-down only if an indicator of impairment is present. Companies are responsible for routinely assessing whether impairment indicators are present. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases which amended guidance for lease arrangements in order to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity's leasing activities. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. The guidance, which is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2019, will be applied on a modified retrospective basis beginning with the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers as amended (Topic 606), with an effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, for public business entities. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, the pronouncement will have on our financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern , On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . Segments The Company operates in one reportable segment. Accordingly, no segment disclosures have been presented herein. |
