INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
Nexmo Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Nexmo Inc. and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of income, total comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders' equity for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nexmo Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Nexmo Inc. include the accounts of Nexmo Limited and Nexmo Asia Pacific Limited, its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported within the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and changes in stockholders' deficit have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and rules and regulations of SEC. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's previously reported net income.
Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The Group maintains its accounting records in accordance with the legislative requirements of the country of incorporation of each of the Group’s companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from those accounting records and adjusted as necessary to comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The Directors are of the opinion that the market in which the Group operates continues to provide a sufficient level of sales opportunities to support its future operations. The Directors feel that the Group is adequately funded at present, and has adequate resources to continue operations and its further expansion plans for the foreseeable future.
The Directors have prepared forecasts which take in account the expected trading growth in 2016 and 2017. The forecasts demonstrate that the group has sufficient cash resources to allow it to continue in business for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and will continue to monitor the group’s needs going forwards in light of available cash resources.
As such, the Directors consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The Group routinely evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, deferred taxes, contingencies and litigation. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All investments, including money market securities, with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered to be cash equivalents. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. We believe that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from its customers. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that such amount will not be collected during the year ended December 31, 2015, US$189,620 was written off as bad debts. There was nothing being written off during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and December 31, 2015, the provision for Bad debts were US$139,791, US$92,494, and US$139,791, respectively.
At March 31, 2016, there were 3 customers that made up 12%, 10%, and 8%, respectively, of total receivables amounting to US$3,047,278. They also make up 9%, 7%, and 4%, respectively, of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016. At December 31, 2015, there were 3 customers that make up 17%, 12%, and 11%, respectively, of total receivables amounting to US$3,434,195. They also make up 13%, 7%, and 10%, respectively, of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are impacted by the large number of customers and their dispersion across geographic areas and the Group’s credit approval procedures and monitoring of customer balances.
Note Receivable
Note receivable consists of a promissory note which was issued on October 1, 2014. Interest is received at a fixed rate of 1.86% per annum, compounded annually on the unpaid balance. The interest receivable on the promissory note at December 31, 2015 was US$17,237.

Revenue is primarily derived from supplying messaging (Sms and Voice) services to customers. Revenue is recognized in the period when messages are sent by the customer, the collection of the respective receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.
Revenue is recognized based on the price on the website pricing page or as otherwise agreed with the customer.
The customer advance messaging balances have no expiration dates and the Group does not charge administrative fees for unused messages. The Group recognizes income on unused messages when it can be determined that the likelihood of the message being utilized is remote. The Group has not recognized any revenue from unused messages.

b)Channel Sales
Our Trading customers operate within the communications industry as service providers or bulk SMS aggregators. Our trading customers will engage with Nexmo where we are able to deliver the most cost effective delivery of bulk SMS or voice messages to specific agreed locations. With trading business, we sell to trading specialists who are delivering voice or SMS messages on behalf of their customers. Typically, trade is based on single supply route and margins are effectively fixed at a deal level. The true value of the transaction to Nexmo is the margin that is earned. As such, for the trading business we record revenue on a net basis.
In 2015 we refined the definition of a trading customer to exclude customers who have a level of sophistication in their purchasing processes akin to a trading customer but who are the originators of the messages that are sent. This refinement provides for more clarity of definition and reduces management judgment in the determination.
Operating Leases
The accounting policy is to expense all costs associated with all operating leases on a straight-line basis over the life of the leases.
Share Based Plans
The Group has a stock compensation plan pursuant to which the Group’s owners may grant stock options or non-vested shares to officers, key employees or relevant other individuals. As of December 31, 2015, the Group had 8,715,730 options reserved in the Plan, of which 2,173,446 stock options were granted to employees in 2015. In most cases options vest with respect to the first 25% of the Shares when the employee completes 12 months of continuous service after the vesting commencement date and 2.01% each month thereafter until all options are fully vested after 48 months.
The Company calculates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rates. The fair value of restricted stock units is estimated as the estimated market value of common stock on the date of grant.
The assumptions used for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the resulting estimates of weighted- average fair value per share of options granted during that period, are as follows:
|
| |
Weighted average/range of volatility | 39%-71% |
Risk free interest rate range | 1.76% - 1.93% |
Dividend rate | 0% |
Expected life of options | 6.04 years |
Weighted average fair value of options granted for juniors/senior managers/directors | US$0.737 |
The expected life of the options represents the estimated period of time from grant date until exercise date and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of estimated historical volatility of the Company’s stock and the one-year implied volatility of similar publicly traded options for the related vesting periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not plan to pay any dividends in the near future.
The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. As stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company’s forfeiture rate was calculated based on its historical experience of awards which ultimately vested. See Note 7 for further discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Group accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered and settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Group regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its forecasts of future

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Reclassification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for private entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2015 on a prospective basis and included the current portion of deferred tax assets within the non-current portion of deferred tax assets within our consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not adjust our prior period consolidated balance sheet as a result of the adoption of this ASU.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax balances are related to net operating losses.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately US$16,108,195 and US$2,726,324, respectively. The Company had net operating loss carry forwards for UK income tax purposes of approximately US$1,730,856. The federal net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2034. The state net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2034. The UK net operating loss carry forwards do not expire within a certain period.
The Group accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position when, based on the technical merits, it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. As of December 31, 2015 the Group has no unrecognized tax benefits, this is not anticipated to change in the twelve months ending December 31, 2016.
The Group may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions. In the event the Group receives an assessment of interest and/or penalties, the interest would be classified as interest expense while the penalties would be classified as operating expense.
The Group and its subsidiary are subject to the US Federal, California, UK and HK taxing jurisdiction. The statute of limitations for a particular tax year for examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is three years and four years for California. The UK tax authorities have two years in which to enquire into a UK tax return. Accordingly, there are multiple years open for examination.
