Forward-Looking Statements

 

This annual report contains “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objections of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services, products or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

 

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this annual report. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results or events expressed or implied therein will not be realized. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make in future public filings, statements and press releases.

 

Forward-looking statements in this annual report include express or implied statements concerning our future revenues, expenditures, capital and funding requirements; the adequacy of our current cash and working capital to fund present and planned operations and financing needs; our proposed expansion of, and demand for, product offerings; the growth of our business and operations through acquisitions or otherwise; and future economic and other conditions both generally and in our specific geographic and product markets. These statements are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, those set forth below in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this annual report, which you should carefully read. Given those risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should be prepared to accept any and all of the risks associated with purchasing any securities of our company, including the possible loss of all of your investment.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) unless otherwise stated and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

 

As used in this annual report on Form 10-K, the terms “we”, “us” “our” and “bBooth” refer to bBooth, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, bBooth (USA), Inc. and Global System Designs Inc., unless otherwise specified.

 

Corporate Overview – Formation, Corporate Changes and Material Mergers and Acquisitions

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 27, 2012. Following incorporation, our business related to the development and marketing of “green building” information for homeowners and owners-builders. In January 2013, we formed a Canadian subsidiary, “Global System Designs Inc.” in response to Canadian demand for consultative building services. In the second quarter of 2014, we decided to explore alternative business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value.

 

On October 16, 2014, we completed the acquisition of bBooth (USA), Inc., a private Nevada corporation (“bBooth USA”), pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement dated August 11, 2014, as amended, among our company, bBooth USA and the shareholders of bBooth USA (the “Exchange Agreement”). As a result of our acquisition of bBooth USA, we ceased to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

bBooth USA was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “Cutaia Media Group, LLC” on December 12, 2012. On May 19, 2014, Cutaia Media Group, LLC effected a merger under the laws of the State of Nevada with its affiliate, bBooth, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with bBooth, Inc. as the surviving corporation, in order to convert from a limited liability company into a corporation. On October 17, 2014, we changed the name of the private Nevada corporation to “bBooth (USA), Inc.”.

 

bBooth USA was focused on the manufacture and operation of internet-connected, kiosk-sized, professional-quality portable audio-video recording studios, branded and marketed under the name of “bBooth”, as further described below under “Our Business”).

 

Prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement, on October 6, 2014, our company effected a name change by merging with our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary named “bBooth, Inc.”, with the surviving corporation having the new name of “bBooth Inc.”. In addition, on October 6, 2014, our company effected a two for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, our authorized capital of common stock increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and our outstanding shares of common stock increased from 5,825,000 shares to 11,650,000 common shares outstanding. The 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share authorized under our capital structure were unchanged in connection with the forward stock split of our common shares. The Nevada subsidiary referred to in this paragraph was created solely for the purpose of effecting the name change and stock split.

 

2
 

 

The name change and forward split became effective for trading purposes at the opening of trading on October 16, 2014 under the stock symbol “GLSID”. Our stock symbol was changed to “BBTH” effective on November 12, 2014. Our new CUSIP number is 07331L 108.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement, bBooth USA converted loans in the aggregate amount of $1,669,316 in principal and accrued interest into an aggregate of 4,769,473 shares of bBooth USA’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. All of such bBooth USA shares were then converted into shares of our common stock on a one for one basis in connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement.

 

Between September 30, 2014 and October 2, 2014, bBooth USA completed a private placement pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $4,500,000. bBooth USA also issued an aggregate of 659,600 shares of common stock and paid an aggregate cash fee of $412,250 to certain finders in connection with the private placement. Such finders were also reimbursed an aggregate of $23,072 for expenses incurred in connection with the private placement. All of the shares of bBooth USA’s common stock issued in connection with the private placement, including the shares issued to the finders, were converted into shares of our common stock on a one for one basis in connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement.

 

On December 11, 2014, Songstagram, Inc. (“Songstagram”) and Rocky Wright (“Wright”) issued secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Promissory Notes”) in connection with advances that our company made to Songstagram and Wright. The advances were made by our company in connection with ongoing negotiations for a possible acquisition of Songstagram or its assets by our company. Pursuant to the Promissory Notes, Songstagram has promised to pay us the principal sum of $475,000, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum and Wright has promised to pay us the principal sum of $386,435, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Promissory Notes, were due and payable on the earlier of (i) our demand for payment; or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an event of default, we declared such amounts due and payable or such amounts were made automatically due and payable under the terms of the Promissory Notes. During any period in which an event of default had occurred and was continuing, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 13% per annum. The Promissory Notes could have been prepaid without our prior written consent.

 

In connection with the Promissory Notes, we took security over all of the assets of Songstagram and Wright (related to Songstagram) pursuant to security agreements (collectively, the “Security Agreements”) with Songstagram and Wright dated December 11, 2014. Pursuant to the Security Agreements, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, agreed to, among other things, (i) pay all secured obligations when due; (ii) upon or following the occurrence of an event of default, pay all of our costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by us in the perfection, preservation, realization, enforcement and exercise of our rights, powers and remedies under the Security Agreements; and (iii) execute and deliver such documents as we deemed necessary to create, perfect and continue the security interests.

 

Effective January 20, 2015, we entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Songstagram and Wright, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from Wright all assets and intellectual property that Wright owned related to, or used in connection with: (i) the business of Songstagram, (ii) the assets owned and/or used by Songstagram, (iii) the Songstagram software application, (iv) the business and assets of Qubeey Inc. (“Qubeey”), and (v) all software applications of Qubeey, in consideration of the forgiveness of all principal and interest owing by Wright to our company under the Promissory Notes.

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, we also agreed to employ Wright in a position, and upon terms and conditions, to be mutually agreed upon by our company and Wright. Wright also agreed that any prior agreements between Wright and Songstagram were of no further force or effect, and that any right, title, interest or claim Wright might have in connection with such agreements was fully satisfied and extinguished. Wright and Songstagram also released our company, and other third parties associated or affiliated with our company, from any claims arising under any such agreements, or otherwise, with respect to the business and assets of Songstagram and Qubeey.

 

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement and our prior demand for the repayment of all monies owing by Songstagram to our company under the Promissory Notes, as Songstagram was unable to repay such monies, Songstagram consented to the enforcement of the security granted under the Security Agreements, by way of a strict foreclosure. In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and as further provided for in a surrender of collateral, consent to strict foreclosure and release agreement dated January 20, 2015 (the “Surrender of Collateral, Consent to Strict Foreclosure and Release Agreement”) between our company and Songstagram, Songstagram agreed to turn over all collateral pledged under the Security Agreements and consented to our retaining such collateral in satisfaction of the indebtedness due under the Promissory Notes.

 

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, we and Songstagram entered into termination agreements and releases (each, a “Termination Agreement”) with six employees of, or consultants to, Songstagram pursuant to which each such persons agreed to: (i) the termination of any existing agreements to which they and Songstagram were parties, and (ii) release any claims against our company and Songstagram with respect to the assets and business of Songstagram and Qubeey.

 

Effective March 4, 2015, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Jeff Franklin (“Franklin”), pursuant to which we paid $10,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock of our company to Franklin in full settlement and release of a claim that he had on certain assets that we acquired from Songstagram and in consideration of his transfer to us a secured lien he held on assets of Qubeey.

 

Effective March 5, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Art Malone Jr., pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 320,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Malone in full settlement and release of a claim he had on certain assets the Company acquired from Songstagram. The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Malone were valued at $160,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram. The 320,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Malone on April 29, 2015.

 

Our Business

 

Our business has evolved from one based primarily on our mall-based bBooth kiosks and mobile apps, narrowly focused on talent discovery, to a cloud-based, enterprise level platform, tentatively branded as NOTIFI, developed to address a much larger target market that includes corporate users, consumer brands, and media companies, among others, seeking large scale internal and external messaging and communications capabilities. Offered through bBoothTech, our new, wholly owned technology licensing division, the NOTIFI platform is a fully integrated mobile, desktop, and web-based application, with robust back-end administration and data collection capabilities, designed to provide small, medium and large-scale enterprise users, among others, with the ability to send, receive and manage enhanced, media-rich, highly-engaging messaging for both internal and external communications, as well as for interactive online training and teaching applications.

 

What distinguishes NOTIFI from other corporate messaging and communications platforms available in the marketplace today is our proprietary “push-to-screen” and “walk-out” technologies enabling users to assertively push messaging directly to the screens of their subscribers, employees, followers, fans, consumers, customers, partners, distributors, affiliates, and/or team members – in a media-rich format that can include interactive text, graphics, and video, as well as our ‘walk-out’ video messaging technology where the message is delivered by someone who appears to walk-out onto the desktop or mobile screens of targeted recipients, inviting interactivity and engagement – without the recipients having to open a web-browser or other mobile or desktop program.

Revenue Generation

 

We intend to generate revenue from the following sources:

 

    Recurring license fees paid by enterprise users for blanket distribution of the applications to, and access by, enterprise employees or affiliates
     
    Recurring subscription fees paid by individual users
     
    In-app and online purchases by users to access various premium services, features, functionality, and options of the platform (such as ‘walk-out’ send capability, as well as audio and video enhancement features);
     
  User data/lead generation fees from the sale of demographic data

 

Operations

 

Our company is headquartered in West Hollywood, California, where our executive, administration and operational management are based.

 

Our Market

 

Our market is intentionally broad and it includes online marketers, advertisers, sponsors, social media celebrities, entertainment celebrities and performance artists, enterprise users - large and small, religious organizations, health care providers, network and multi-level marketing companies, consumer brands, media companies, major motion picture studios, social media companies, and virtually any other person or organization that seeks to attract, engage, and communicate with customers, consumers, fans, followers, patients, friends, and subscribers, among others, online, utilizing an interactive, highly effective vehicle.

 

Distribution Methods

 

Our mobile applications will be available in Apple’s App Store for IOS devices and in Google’s Google Play Store for Android devices. Desktop/laptop versions for Windows and Mac computers will be available on our website.

 

Marketing

 

Our marketing strategy is two-fold. First, we leverage the existing relationships we have in the entertainment industry, such as those that we’ve developed through our engagement by American IdolTM to manage their auditions through our bBooth kiosks for the show’s current season, among other such industry relationships. These relationships have resulted in a fairly robust sales pipeline of potential customers for our products and services, all of which are in various stages of development, testing, due diligence and/or negotiation.

 

Second, we’ve recently completed development of a new sales tool which allows us to “push” a demonstration of our technology, and associated sales pitch, directly to the screens of our business prospects through a link sent via email, text message, Facebook, and even through a Twitter feed, among other means, allowing our targeted recipients to experience the impact of our technology right on their own mobile and desktop devices.

 

Competition

 

While we aware of numerous providers of enterprise level messaging and communications platforms, we are unaware of anyone offering products or services in the marketplace that are comparable to our proprietary ‘push-to-screen’ and ‘walk-out’ technologies.

 

Intellectual Property

 

bBooth’s operating system, our apps and our NOTIFI platform are comprised of proprietary software, code and know-how that are of key importance to our plan of operations.

Research and Development

 

We spent $81,588 on research and development during the year ended December 31, 2015, and $156,762 on research and development during the year ended December 31, 2014. These funds were primarily used for development of our software and mobile app.

 

Sources and Availability of Products and Names of Principal Suppliers

 

bBooth currently relies on certain key suppliers and vendors in the construction of its booths and for the maintenance, hosting, and enhancement of our operating software. Management believes it has mitigated the associated risks of these single-source vendor relationships by carefully selecting vendors that are large, financially stable, and have long and successful operating histories with demonstrated ability to deliver similar solutions. bBooth’s contracts with these vendors does not represent a material portion of their revenue. In addition, bBooth is actively engaged in the process of evaluating additional vendors and suppliers to provide like or complementary services.

 

Dependence on Key Customers

 

Based on our business plan and anticipated future activities as described in this annual report, we do not expect to have any significant customer concentration and accordingly, we do not expect to be dependent on any key customers.

 

Government Regulation

 

Government regulation is not of significant concern for the bBooth business nor is government regulation expected to become an impediment to the business in the near or mid-term as management is currently unaware of any planned or anticipated government regulation that would have a material impact on the business. bBooth management believes it currently possesses all requisite authority to conduct its business as described in this annual report.

 

Employees

 

We currently operate with 6 full time employees. We also employ consultants on an as-needed-basis to provide specific expertise in areas of software design, development and coding, content creation, audio and video editing, video production services, and other business functions including marketing and accounting. None of our employees or consultants, all of whom work in North America, are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have had no labor-related work stoppages and we believe our relations with our employees and consultants are excellent.

 

Seasonality of Business

 

There is no seasonality with respect to our business or major fluctuations in monthly demand.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing our securities. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have incurred losses to date and we expect our operating expenses to increase in the foreseeable future, which may make it more difficult for us to achieve and maintain profitability.

 

To date, we have not derived any revenues from our operations and have incurred losses since inception. Our net loss was $6,955,228 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $5,179,241 for the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $16,999,295. We will need to raise additional working capital to continue our normal and planned operations. We will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake increased technology and production efforts to support our various business units and increase our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of consumers utilizing our services. In addition, as a public company, we will incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. These expenditures will make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital and make it harder for us to achieve and maintain profitability. Our efforts to grow our business may be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our higher operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. As a result, we can provide no assurance as to whether or when we will achieve profitability. If we are not able to raise sufficient working capital or to achieve and maintain profitability, the value of our company and our common stock could decline significantly.

 

6
 

 

Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to us or not available on terms favorable to us.

 

The ability of our business to continue its normal and planned operations and to grow and compete will depend on the availability of adequate capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to continue our normal and planned operations and to implement our growth strategy. As a result, we cannot assure you that adequate capital will be available to continue our normal and planned operations and to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

 

We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.

 

We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business and continue with our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations. To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we would likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.

 

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, a disruption of our operations, damage to our reputation, or a loss of confidence in our business, any of which could adversely affect our business, revenues and competitive position.

 

7
 

 

Our business is highly competitive and any failure to adapt to changing consumer preferences may adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

We operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing environment. Our success will, to a large extent, be dependent on our ability to acquire, develop, adopt, upgrade and exploit new and existing technologies to address consumers’ changing demands and distinguish our services from those of our competitors. We may not be able to accurately predict technological trends or the success of new products and services. If we choose technologies or equipment that are less effective, cost-efficient or attractive to our customers than those chosen by our competitors, or if we offer services that fail to appeal to consumers, are not available at competitive prices or that do not function as expected, our competitive position could deteriorate, and our business and financial results could suffer. The ability of our competitors to introduce new technologies, products and services more quickly than we do may adversely affect our competitive position. Furthermore, advances in technology, decreases in the cost of existing technologies or changes in competitors’ product and service offerings may require us in the future to make additional research and development expenditures or to offer products and services at no additional charge or at a lower price. In addition, the uncertainty of our ability, and the costs, to obtain intellectual property rights from third parties could impact our ability to respond to technological advances in a timely and effective manner.

 

We expect that the success of our business will be highly correlated to general economic conditions.

 

We expect that demand for our products and services will be highly correlated with general economic conditions, as we expect a substantial portion of our revenue will be derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Declines in economic conditions in the United States or in other countries in which we may operate may adversely impact our financial results. Because such declines in demand are difficult to predict, we or the industry may have increased excess capacity as a result. An increase in excess capacity may result in declines in prices for our products and services. Our ability to grow or maintain our business may be adversely affected by sustained economic weakness and uncertainty, including the effect of wavering consumer confidence, high unemployment and other factors.

 

Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial results and operations.

 

We rely on licenses and other agreements with our vendors and other parties and other intellectual property rights to conduct our operations. Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights and claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties could require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question or from the continuation of our businesses as currently conducted. We may need to change our business practices if any of these events occur, which may limit our ability to compete effectively and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Even if we believe any such challenges or claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming and costly to defend and divert management’s attention and resources away from our business.

 

The capacity, reliability and security of our information technology hardware and software infrastructure are important to the operation of our current business, which would suffer in the event of system failures. Likewise, our ability to expand and update our information technology infrastructure in response to our growth and changing needs is important to the continued implementation of our new service offering initiatives. Our inability to expand or upgrade our technology infrastructure could have adverse consequences, which could include the delayed provision of services or implementation of new service offerings, and the diversion of development resources. We rely on third parties for various aspects of our hardware and software infrastructure. Third parties may experience errors or disruptions that could adversely impact us and over which we may have limited control. Interruption and/or failure of any of these systems could disrupt our operations and damage our reputation, thus adversely impacting our ability to provide our services, retain our current users and attract new users. In addition, our information technology hardware and software infrastructure may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses or other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, our customer and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our information technology hardware and software infrastructure, or otherwise, could be compromised, which could result in significant losses or reputational damage. We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses.

We are dependent on third parties to, among other things, supply our booths, provide the bandwidth necessary to transmit content, and utilize the content derived therefrom for the potential generation of revenues.

 

We depend on third party service providers, suppliers and licensors to supply some of the services, hardware, software and operational support necessary to provide some of our products and services. Some of these third parties do not have a long operating history or may not be able to continue to supply the equipment and services we desire in the future. Some of our vendors and service providers represent our sole source of supply or have, either through contract or as a result of intellectual property rights, a position of some exclusivity. If demand exceeds these vendors’ capacity, or if these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties or are otherwise unable to provide the equipment or services we need in a timely manner, at our specifications and at reasonable prices, our ability to provide some products and services might be materially adversely affected, or the need to procure or develop alternative sources of the affected materials or services might delay our ability to serve our users. These events could materially and adversely affect our ability to retain and attract users, and have a material negative impact on our operations, business, financial results and financial condition.

 

Our business may be affected by changing consumer preferences or by failure of the public to accept any new product offerings we may pursue.

 

The production and distribution of entertainment content is an inherently risky business because the revenue that may be derived depends primarily on the content’s acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. Consumer and audience tastes change frequently and it is a challenge to anticipate what offerings will be successful at a certain point in time. In addition, competing entertainment content, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, piracy and increasing digital and on-demand distribution offerings may also affect the audience for our content. Our expenses may increase as we invest in new programming ideas, and there is no guarantee that the new programming will be successful or generate sufficient revenue to recoup the expenditures.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

 

Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock that would dilute existing stockholders.

 

We are currently authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 64,075,000 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock are currently issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2016. We expect to seek additional financing in order to provide working capital to our business. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares at any price they consider sufficient, without stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current stockholders.

 

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTCQB may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. Trading in stock quoted on these markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the neither of these markets are a stock exchange, and trading of securities on these markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national securities exchange like the NASDAQ or the NYSE. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of our shares.

 

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

 

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors not to choose to invest in our stock. lf we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

 

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

10
 

 

As a public company, we have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.

 

We cannot assure you that we will, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate, or sales of our common stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Because our directors and executive officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of investors.

 

Certain of our executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. As of the date of this annual report, our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates beneficially own over 50% of our outstanding voting stock. The holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase further in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted, or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

 

    to elect or defeat the election of our directors;
     
  to amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws;
     
  to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
     
  to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote.

 

This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

 

Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

 

11
 

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements that may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

 

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

We maintain office in West Hollywood, California under an operating lease that expires in June 2016 for monthly rent of approximately $6,700. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our current needs and that suitable additional space will be available as and when needed.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material pending legal proceedings to which our company or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which any of our assets or properties, or the assets or properties of any of our subsidiaries, is the subject. In addition, we do not know of any such proceedings contemplated by any governmental authorities.

 

We know of no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to our company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our company or any of our subsidiaries.

Market information

 

Our common stock is not traded on any exchange but is currently available for trading in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and on the OTCBQ operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “BBTH.” Trading in stocks quoted on these markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects.

 

Effective October 6, 2014, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, bBooth, Inc., in order to change our name from “Global System Designs, Inc.” to “bBooth, Inc.”, and we effected a two for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, our authorized capital of common stock increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and our outstanding shares of common stock increased from 5,825,000 shares to 11,650,000 common shares outstanding. The 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share authorized under our capital structure were unchanged in connection with the forward stock split of our common shares.

 

The name change and forward split became effective for trading purposes at the opening of trading on October 16, 2014 under the stock symbol “GLSID”. Our stock symbol changed to “BBTH” effective on November 12, 2014.

 

Over the counter securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, these securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. Over the counter issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

Trades in our common stock may be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which imposes requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction before the sale.

 

The SEC also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities listed on certain national exchanges, provided that the current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the applicable exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, before effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing before effecting the transaction, and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for shares of our common stock. As a result of these rules, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares

Effective October 16, 2014, our board of directors adopted and approved the 2014 Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the plan is to (a) enable our company and any of our affiliates to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants and directors who will contribute to our company’s long range success; (b) provide incentives that align the interests of employees, consultants and directors with those of the stockholders of our company; and (c) promote the success of our company’s business.

 

The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Plan is administered by our board of directors, except that it may, in its discretion, delegate such responsibility to a committee comprised of at least two directors. A maximum of 12,000,000 shares are reserved and set aside for issuance under the Plan. Each option, upon its exercise, entitles the optionee to acquire one share of our common stock, upon payment of the applicable exercise price, which is determined by the board at the time of grant. Stock options may be granted under the Plan for an exercise period of up to ten years from the date of grant of the option or such lesser periods as may be determined by the board, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

Vesting terms are determined by the board of directors at the time of grant, provided that, if no vesting schedule is specified at the time of grant, 25% of the options granted will vest on first anniversary of the date of grant, and 25% of such options will vest each year thereafter, until fully vested. Options that have vested will terminate, to the extent not previously exercised, upon the occurrence of the first of the following events: (i) the expiration of the options; (ii) the date of an optionee’s termination of employment or contractual relationship with our company for cause (as determined in the sole discretion of the plan administrator; (iii) the expiration of three months from the date of an optionee’s termination of employment or contractual relationship with our company for any reason whatsoever other than cause, death or disability (as defined in the plan); or (iv) the expiration of one year from termination of an optionee’s employment or contractual relationship by reason of death or disability.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 27, 2012. Following incorporation, our business related to the development and marketing of “green building” information for homeowners and owners-builders. In January 2013, we formed a Canadian subsidiary, “Global System Designs Inc.” in response to Canadian demand for consultative building services. In the second quarter of 2014, we decided to explore alternative business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value. As a result, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with bBooth USA, which closed on October 16, 2014.

 

15
 

 

Cutaia Media Group was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 12, 2012. On May 19, 2014, bBooth Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and both entities entered into a Plan of Merger, pursuant to which all of the membership interests of Cutaia Media Group were exchanged at a ratio of one unit of membership interest into one share of common stock of bBooth USA, which became the surviving entity.

 

Following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, our company commenced focusing on the business currently carried on by bBooth USA, which is the manufacture and operation of internet-connected, kiosk-sized, professional-quality audio-video recording studios, branded and marketed under the name of “bBooth”, which are integrated into a social media, messaging, gaming, music streaming and video sharing app.

 

Our Business

 

Our business has evolved from one based primarily on our mall-based bBooth kiosks and mobile apps, narrowly focused on talent discovery, to a cloud-based, enterprise level platform, tentatively branded as NOTIFI, developed to address a much larger target market that includes corporate users, consumer brands, and media companies, among others, seeking large scale internal and external messaging and communications capabilities. Offered through bBoothTech, our new technology licensing division, the NOTIFI platform is a fully integrated mobile, desktop, and web-based application, with robust back-end administration and data collection capabilities, designed to provide small, medium and large-scale enterprise users, among others, with the ability to send, receive and manage enhanced, media-rich, highly-engaging messaging for both internal and external communications, as well as for interactive online training and teaching applications.

 

What distinguishes NOTIFI from other corporate messaging and communications platforms available in the marketplace today is our proprietary “push-to-screen” and “walk-out” technologies enabling users to assertively push messaging directly to the screens of their subscribers, employees, followers, fans, consumers, customers, partners, distributors, affiliates, and/or team members – in a media-rich format that can include interactive text, graphics, and video, as well as our ‘walk-out’ video messaging technology where the message is delivered by someone who appears to walk-out onto the desktop or mobile screens of targeted recipients, inviting interactivity and engagement – without the recipients having to open a web-browser or other mobile or desktop program.

 

Revenue Generation

 

We intend to generate revenue from the following sources:

 

  Recurring license fees paid by enterprise users for blanket distribution of the applications to, and access by, enterprise employees or affiliates
     
  Recurring subscription fees paid by individual users
     
  ●  In-app and online purchases by users to access various premium services, features, functionality, and options of the platform (such as ‘walk-out’ send capability, as well as audio and video enhancement features);
     
  User data/lead generation fees from the sale of demographic data

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

The following is a comparison of the results of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

  

   For the Year Ended     
   December 31, 2015   December 31, 2014   $ Change 
             
Research and development expense  $81,588   $156,762   $(75,174)
General and administrative expense   5,334,564    4,708,163    626,401

Net loss  $(6,955,228)  $(5,179,241)  $(388,887)

 

Revenues

 

We did not generate any revenue during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Research and development expenses are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for our booths and our mobile app. Research and development expenses decreased during 2015 due to the majority of our research and development expenses relating to our booths being incurred in 2014. Research and development in 2015 primarily represented spending related to the mobile app. We do not expect research and development expense to be significant going forward.

 

General and administrative expenses for 2015 increased by $626,401 as compared to 2014. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due primarily to amortization of amortization expense of $331,008 relating to the acquisition of the Songstagram assets in January 2015 and share-based compensation expense of $1,623,398. During 2014, we had $834,606 of share-based compensation in 2014 from the issuance of stock options and warrants in November 2014. The increase in general and administrative expense for 2015 was partially offset by increased expenses in 2014 of $500,000 for the acquisition of a technology license from Studio One, which did not reoccur in 2015.

 

During 2015 we performed an impairment analysis on our long-lived assets, consisting of our intangible assets and property and equipment, and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the assets. Accordingly, we concluded that our intangible assets and our booth-related equipment were impaired. As a result, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1,387,100 as of December 31, 2015. There was no such charge during 2014.

 

Interest expense, net, for 2015 amounted to $151,976, which represented interest expense on outstanding notes payable during this timeframe. The amount of interest expense for the same period in 2014 was higher due to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with convertible notes payable issued during 2014. To the extent we are required to borrow money from related parties and other outside sources, we expect our interest expense to increase in the future.

Cash used in investing activities   (105,929)   (310,206)
Cash provided by financing activities   1,903,242    5,086,987 
(Decrease) increase in cash  $(1,069,098)  $1,047,893 

 

For the year ended December 31 2015, our cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $2,866,411, compared to cash used in 2014 of $3,728,888. Our cash used in operations was higher in 2014 due primarily to 1) a higher percentage of our operating expenses in 2015 being paid with share-based compensation through the issuance of common stock warrants and stock options, and 2) an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2015 of $540,596.

 

Our cash used in investing activities in 2015 amounted to $105,929, compared to cash used in 2014 of $310,206. Our cash used in investing activities in 2015 consisted of $62,029 paid for the acquisition of property and equipment and $43,900 paid for the acquisition of Songstagram. Cash used in investing activities in 2014 was higher primarily due to a deposit made of $199,428 as a down payment on a purchase order for ten booths.

 

Our cash provided by financing activities in 2015 amounted to $1,903,242, resulting from $600,000 in proceeds from notes payable, $1,403,242 of net proceeds from related party borrowings, offset by repayment of notes payable of $100,000. The cash provided by financing activities was higher during 2014 due primarily to the proceeds from the private placement in October 2014 of $4,500,000, along with the proceeds from convertible notes payable of $1,500,000 and capital contributions of $595,000, offset by the payment of $861,435 from the issuance of a note receivable to Songstagram, Inc.

 

As of December 31, 2015, we had cash of $103,019 and a working capital deficit of $1,062,071, as compared to cash of $1,172,117 and a positive working capital of $1,691,333 at December 31, 2014. The increased cash and working capital at December 31, 2014 was primarily the result of cash flows provided from financing activities during the fourth quarter of 2014 resulting from the private placement of common stock. We estimate our operating expenses for the next 12 months will continue to exceed any revenues we generate, and we will need to raise capital through either debt or equity offerings to continue operations.

 

We are in the early stages of our business. We are required to fund growth from financing activities, and we intend to rely on a combination of equity and debt financings. Due to market conditions and the early stage of our operations, there is considerable risk that our company will not be able to raise such financings at all, or on terms that are not overly dilutive to our existing shareholders. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds.

 

Going Concern

 

As more fully described in Note 2 to our audited financial statements included with this annual report, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 related to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern. We have a significant accumulated deficit and working capital deficit and have incurred losses from continuing operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

18
 

 

Management’s plan is to use the financing obtained in connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement to continue to expand its operations. If we are not successful in continuing to raise additional financing, or generating revenue and becoming profitable, we may have to further delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying financial statements of bBooth do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should our company not continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to valuation of the fair value of financial instruments, share based compensation arrangements and long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For additional information relating to these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Our company is evaluating how to apply Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 605, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, before its effective date, however, as we do not yet have revenue to recognize, it will not have an impact on current results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Notes Payable

 

The following is a summary of our outstanding notes payable due to third parties as of December 31, 2015.

 

On September 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Demand Promissory Note with a third party lender for total borrowings of $100,000. The outstanding principal is due on demand, along with an additional interest fee of $5,000. The balance of the Demand Promissory Note as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $100,000.

 

On February 26, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $200,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

 

On March 21, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with DelMorgan Group LLC (“DelMorgan”), pursuant to which DelMorgan agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor. In connection with the agreement, the Company paid DelMorgan $125,000, which was advanced by a third party lender in exchange for an unsecured note payable issued by the Company bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly beginning on April 20, 2015. The note payable is due on the earlier of March 20, 2017, or upon completion of a private placement transaction, as defined in the agreement. The Company expects this transaction to take place in the next twelve months. As a result, the $125,000 note payable has been classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2015.

 

On April 2, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $200,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

 

On April 15, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $50,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

 

19
 

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $50,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

 

Total notes payable due to third parties outstanding as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $725,000. All outstanding amounts are either due on demand, or expected to become due in the next 12 months, and have therefore all been classified as current liabilities as of December 31, 2015.

 

The following is a summary of our outstanding notes payable due to related parties as of December 31, 2015.

 

On various dates during the year ended December 31, 2015, Rory Cutaia, the Company’s majority shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, loaned the Company total principal amounts of $1,203,242. The loans were unsecured and all due on demand, bearing interest at 12% per annum.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note agreement with Mr. Cutaia whereby all outstanding principal and accrued interest due to Mr. Cutaia from previous loans amounting to an aggregate total of $1,248,883 was consolidated under the note payable agreement, bearing interest at 12% per annum, due in full on April 1, 2017. The Company granted to Mr. Cutaia a senior security interest in substantially all current and future assets of the Company. Per the terms of the agreement, at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion, he may convert up to $374,665 of outstanding principal, plus accrued interest thereon, into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07 per share. During December 2015, Mr. Cutaia loaned the Company an additional $200,000, which is also due on April 1, 2017 and earns interest at 12% per annum under the terms of the agreement.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Unsecured Convertible Note with Mr. Cutaia in the amount of $189,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, representing a portion of Mr. Cutaia’s unpaid salary for 2015. The note extends the payment terms of Mr. Cutaia’s accrued salary from on-demand to due in full on April 1, 2017. The outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Unsecured Note agreement with a consulting firm owned by Michael Psomas, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, in the amount of $111,901 representing unpaid fees earned for consulting services previously rendered but unpaid as of November 30, 2015. The outstanding amounts bear interest at 12% per annum, and are due in full on April 1, 2017.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company granted 8,920,593 warrants to Mr. Cutaia and 799,286 warrants to Mr. Psomas as consideration for agreeing to extend the payment terms of their respective note payable balances to a maturity date of April 1, 2017. The warrants are immediately vested and have an exercise price of $0.07 and expire on November 30, 2018. The warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and have an aggregate value of $424,758. The value has been recorded as a discount to the outstanding notes payable - related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and is being amortized into interest expense over the extended maturity periods of April 1, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded amortization of $26,166 of the discount into interest expense. The remaining discount balance as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $398,593.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors 

bBooth, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of bBooth, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and income since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2, which includes the raising of additional equity financing or merger with another entity. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

Cutaia Media Group, LLC (“CMG”) was a limited liability company formed on December 12, 2012 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On May 19, 2014, bBooth, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. On May 19, 2014, CMG was merged into bBooth, Inc. pursuant to a Plan of Merger unanimously approved by the members of CMG. On October 17, 2014, bBooth, Inc. changed its name to bBooth (USA), Inc. (“bBooth”). The operations of CMG and bBooth are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

On October 16, 2014, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement with Global System Designs, Inc. (“GSD”) (see Note 5). On October 16, 2014, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement with Global System Designs, Inc. (“GSD”). In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, all of GSD’s prior management resigned and were replaced by management nominated by the Company, and shareholders of the Company were issued shares of GSD common stock that constituted approximately 83% of GSD’s issued and outstanding shares at the closing date. As a result, the Share Exchange Agreement has been treated as a reverse merger transaction, with the Company as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements for periods ended prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement are those of bBooth.

 

In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, GSD changed its name to bBooth, Inc. GSD also effected a two for one forward stock split of its authorized and issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, GSD’s authorized capital of common stock increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and its outstanding shares of common stock increased from 5,825,000 shares to 11,650,000 common shares outstanding immediately prior to the merger. The 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share authorized under its capital structure were unchanged in connection with the forward stock split of its common shares. All references to number of shares and per share amounts included in this report give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company was engaged primarily in the manufacture and operation of Internet connected, broadcast-quality portable recording studios, branded and marketed as “bBooth,” which were integrated into a social media, messaging, gaming, music streaming and video sharing app. The bBooth portable television studios were deployed to shopping malls and other high-traffic venues in the United States.

 

The Company’s business has evolved from one based primarily on our mall-based bBooth kiosks and mobile apps, narrowly focused on talent discovery, to a cloud-based, enterprise level platform, tentatively branded as NOTIFI, developed to address a much larger target market that includes corporate users, consumer brands, and media companies, among others, seeking large scale internal and external messaging and communications capabilities. Offered through bBoothTech, our new technology licensing division, the NOTIFI platform is a fully integrated mobile, desktop, and web-based application, with robust back-end administration and data collection capabilities, designed to provide small, medium and large-scale enterprise users, among others, with the ability to send, receive and manage enhanced, media-rich, highly-engaging messaging for both internal and external communications, as well as for interactive online training and teaching applications.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of bBooth, Inc. and Songstagram, Inc. (“Songstagram”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. It also has an accumulated deficit of $16,999,295 as of December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until it can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations. Management intends to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue its operations. Management also intends to look at mergers with, or acquisitions of, other related entities to grow its business and customer base.

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

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 at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include the value of share based payments. Amounts could materially change in the future.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $0 and $30,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.

 

28
 

 

Deposit for Booth Equipment

 

Deposit for booth equipment represented amounts paid as a down payment for the purchase of ten booths during 2014. Booth equipment costs are recorded at historical cost and represent costs to acquire the Company’s bBooth portable recording studios, which were to be used by the Company for revenue producing activities. During 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $199,428 relating to the deposit for booth equipment as there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the booth equipment.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made this analysis and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the Company’s intangible assets or its booth-related equipment. Accordingly, the Company concluded that impairment of these assets was appropriate and recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1,387,100.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company had cash balances (in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit) of $0 and $922,117 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

 

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

 

Share Based Payment

 

The Company issues stock options, common stock, and equity interests as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

 

29
 

 

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

 

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.

 

The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options issued during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended 
   December 31, 2015   December 31, 2014 
         
Expected life in years   2.5 to 5.0    4.5 to 5.0 
Stock price volatility   84.36% - 98.54%   83.9% - 84.1%
Risk free interest rate   1.07% - 1.72%   1.63% - 1.65%
Expected dividends   NA    NA 
Forfeiture rate   32%   21%

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs consist of expenditures for the research and development of new products and technology. These costs are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for the Company’s bBooth recording studios and integrated app. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential common shares were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had total outstanding options and warrants of 18,624,129 and 7,070,000, respectively, which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, notes receivable and notes payable. The principal balance of the notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value because of the current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

4. NOTES PAYABLE

 

On September 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Demand Promissory Note with a third party lender for total borrowings of $100,000. The outstanding principal is due on demand, along with an additional interest fee of $5,000. The balance of the Demand Promissory Note as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $100,000 at each date.

 

On February 26, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with a third party lender in the principal amount of $200,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.

 

On March 21, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with DelMorgan Group LLC (“DelMorgan”), pursuant to which DelMorgan agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor.

The note payable is due on the earlier of March 20, 2017, or upon completion of a private placement transaction, as defined in the agreement. The Company expects this transaction to take place in the next twelve months. As a result, the $125,000 note payable has been classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2015 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Total notes payable outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $725,000 and $100,000 respectively. All outstanding amounts are either due on demand, or expected to become due in the next 12 months, and have therefore all been classified as current liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

5. NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES

 

On various dates during the year ended December 31, 2015, Rory Cutaia, the Company’s majority shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, loaned the Company total principal amounts of $1,203,242. The loans were unsecured and all due on demand, bearing interest at 12% per annum.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note agreement with Mr. Cutaia whereby all outstanding principal and accrued interest due to Mr. Cutaia from previous loans amounting to an aggregate total of $1,248,883 was consolidated under the note payable agreement, bearing interest at 12% per annum, due in full on April 1, 2017. The Company granted Mr. Cutaia a senior security interest in substantially all current and future assets of the Company. Per the terms of the agreement, at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion, he may convert up to $374,665 of outstanding principal, plus accrued interest thereon, into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07 per share. During December 2015, Mr. Cutaia loaned the Company an additional $200,000, which is also due on April 1, 2017 and earns interest at 12% per annum under the terms of the agreement.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Unsecured Convertible Note with Mr. Cutaia in the amount of $189,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, representing a portion of Mr. Cutaia’s unpaid salary for 2015. The note extends the payment terms of Mr. Cutaia’s accrued salary from on-demand to due in full on April 1, 2017. The outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Unsecured Note agreement with a consulting firm owned by Michael Psomas, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, in the amount of $111,901 representing unpaid fees earned for consulting services previously rendered but unpaid as of November 30, 2015. The outstanding amounts bear interest at 12% per annum, and are due in full on April 1, 2017.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company granted 8,920,593 warrants to Mr. Cutaia and 799,286 warrants to Mr. Psomas as consideration for agreeing to extend the payment terms of their respective note payable balances to a maturity date of April 1, 2017. The warrants are immediately vested and have an exercise price of $0.07 and expire on November 30, 2018. The warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and have an aggregate value of $424,758. The value has been recorded as a discount to the outstanding notes payable - related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and is being amortized into interest expense over the extended maturity periods of April 1, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded amortization of $26,166 of the discount into interest expense. The remaining discount balance as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $398,593.

6. SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH GLOBAL SYSTEM DESIGNS, INC.

 

On May 7, 2014, the Company executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with GSD, pursuant to which:

 

(a) GSD would provide, or arrange for the provision of, a secured bridge loan for the benefit of the Company that would provide net proceeds to the Company of not less than $1,350,000, to be used for working capital purposes (the “Convertible Notes”) (See Note 6);

 

(b) GSD would undertake a private placement of equity securities of GSD to raise proceeds of not less than $4,500,000 (the “Financing”); and

 

(c) GSD would, directly or indirectly, acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company in exchange for the issuance of securities of GSD (the “Acquisition”), and, upon the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”), GSD would be controlled and managed by the former security holders and management of the Company.

 

On June 5, 2014, the Company executed an Amendment to the LOI, pursuant to which the parties agreed that upon closing of the Acquisition, all principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Convertible Notes will be converted (the “Conversion”) into shares of common stock of the Company at a deemed conversion price of $0.35 per share on closing of the Acquisition. The conversion price was subject to adjustment if the Company effected any forward stock splits or consolidations prior to such conversion. In addition, each of the parties agreed that upon completion of the Acquisition and the Financing (including payment of any commissions related to the Financing), GSD will have not more than 60 million shares issued and outstanding.

 

On October 16, 2014, the Company completed the Share Exchange Agreement with GSD, pursuant to which 36,000,000 shares of bBooth were exchanged for 36,000,000 shares of common stock of GSD. In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, 2,079,073 shares of previously outstanding GSD stock were cancelled.

 

7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

In June 2014, the Company received an aggregate total of $1,500,000, less commission of $140,000, from a series of investors in the form of the Convertible Notes referenced in the LOI. The outstanding balances from the Convertible Notes had a maturity date of December 9, 2015, and earned interest at a rate of 10% per annum, which was payable on the earlier of the maturity date or the date of Conversion. The Convertible Notes were automatically convertible upon a reverse merger transaction into Company stock at a conversion price of $1,260 (pre stock split) per share. If the Company did not complete a reverse merger transaction by November 9, 2015, the holders of the Convertible Notes could have converted the Convertible Notes into Company stock at a conversion price of $1,000 (pre stock split) per share.

 

33
 

 

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the series of investors also entered into a General Security Agreement and an Agency and Intercreditor Agreement with the Company, in which all outstanding borrowings under the Convertible Notes were secured by substantially all assets of the Company. In the event of a default by the Company, as defined in the agreements, a majority of the debtors could have compelled the Company to make available all or any part of the secured assets in order to pay the outstanding obligations under the Convertible Notes.

 

The Company also issued an additional convertible note payable of $112,000 with the same terms as the Convertible Notes to the other investors, as a finder’s fee in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes. As a result, the total outstanding balance of the debt amounted to $1,612,000.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement on October 16, 2014, bBooth converted outstanding principal and interest in the aggregate of $1,669,316, including the $1,612,000 in outstanding principal and $57,316 in accrued interest, into an aggregate of 4,769,473 shares of bBooth’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. All of such bBooth shares were then converted into shares of our common stock on a one for one basis in connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement. The remaining balance outstanding under these Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2014 amounted to $0.

 

The conversion feature was evaluated for any beneficial aspect and it was determined that no portion of the proceeds from the convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature. The determination was based on factors which include (1) the Convertible Notes were issued at an amount equal to their face value, and (2) the conversion price was greater than the fair value of the common stock at the time of issuance.

 

The Company incurred total aggregate debt issuance costs of $252,000 representing the above $140,000 of commissions and $112,000 for finder’s fees in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes. Upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes into stock upon the closing of the reverse merger transaction with GSD in October 2014, these amounts were expensed and are included as a component of interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.

 

8. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS OF SONGSTAGRAM, INC.

 

On December 11, 2014, Songstagram, Inc. (“Songstagram”) and Rocky Wright (“Wright”) issued secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Promissory Notes”) in connection with advances that the Company made to Songstagram and Wright. The advances were made by the Company in connection with ongoing negotiations for a possible acquisition of Songstagram or its assets by the Company. Pursuant to the Promissory Notes, Songstagram promised to pay the Company the principal sum of $475,000, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum, and Wright promised to pay the Company the principal sum of $386,435, together with interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum. All unpaid principal, which totaled an aggregate of $861,435, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Promissory Notes, were to be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Company’s demand for payment; or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an event of default, the Company declared such amounts due and payable or such amounts were made automatically due and payable under the terms of the Promissory Notes. During any period in which an event of default had occurred and was continuing, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, were to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 13% per annum. The full amounts due under the Promissory Notes were secured by all of Songstagram’s assets and all of Wright’s assets related to Songstagram, as applicable, in accordance with security agreements dated December 11, 2014, as described below.

 

34
 

 

In connection with the Promissory Notes, the Company entered into security agreements (collectively, the “Security Agreements”) with each of Songstagram and Wright dated December 11, 2014. Pursuant to the Security Agreements, Songstagram and Wright, as applicable, agreed to, among other things; (i) pay all secured obligations when due; (ii) upon or following the occurrence of an event of default, pay all of the Company’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in the perfection, preservation, realization, enforcement and exercise of the Company’s rights, powers and remedies under the Security Agreements; and (iii) execute and deliver such documents as the Company deems necessary to create, perfect and continue the security interests.

 

Effective January 20, 2015, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Songstagram and Wright, pursuant to which the Company acquired from Wright all assets and intellectual property that Wright owned related to, or used in connection with: (i) the business of Songstagram, (ii) the assets owned and/or used by Songstagram, (iii) the Songstagram software application, (iv) the business and assets of Qubeey Inc. (“Qubeey”), and (v) all software applications of Qubeey, in consideration of the forgiveness of all principal and interest owing by Mr. Wright to the Company under the promissory note issued by Wright to the Company on December 11, 2014. In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company also paid an additional $43,900 to Wright in January 2015.

 

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the Company’s prior demand for the repayment of all monies outstanding under the Promissory Note issued by Songstagram to the Company on December 11, 2014, as Songstagram was unable to repay such monies, Songstagram consented to the enforcement of the security granted under the Security Agreement with Songstagram by way of a strict foreclosure. In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and as further provided for in a surrender of collateral, consent to strict foreclosure and release agreement dated January 20, 2015 (the “Surrender of Collateral, Consent to Strict Foreclosure and Release Agreement”) between the Company and Songstagram, Songstagram agreed to turn over all collateral pledged under the Security Agreement and consented to the Company retaining such collateral in satisfaction of the indebtedness due under the Promissory Note issued by Songstagram to the Company.

 

Effective March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Jeff Franklin, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $10,000 and issue 500,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Franklin in full settlement and release of a claim he had on certain assets the Company acquired from Songstagram and in consideration for the transfer to us of a secured lien he held on assets of Qubeey. The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Franklin were valued at $250,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram.

 

Effective March 5, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Songstagram and Art Malone Jr., pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 320,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Malone in full settlement and release of a claim he had on certain assets the Company acquired from Songstagram. The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Malone were valued at $160,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram. The 320,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Malone on April 29, 2015.

 

In July 2015, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 240,000 shares to two individuals pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement as payment for claims they had on certain assets acquired from Songstagram. The shares of common stock were valued at $120,000 and were included as part of the acquisition price of Songstagram. The shares of common stock have not been issued, although the Company expects them to be in the future.

 

As a result, the total consideration paid by the Company for the acquisition of Songstagram amounted to $1,435,335. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using the income approach.

 

35
 

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation was allocated as follows:

 

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, at fair value    
     
Intangible assets  $1,435,335 
   $1,435,335 

 

The intangible assets acquired represented software applications which have an estimated useful life of 3 years. Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $331,008 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Company made an analysis of this asset and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows to support the value recorded for this asset. Accordingly, the Company concluded that impairment of this asset was appropriate and recorded an impairment charge of $1,104,327, which represented the book value of the intangible assets at the time.

 

The amount of Songstagram’s revenue and earnings included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the revenue and earnings of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2014 are as follows. The pro forma information includes the effects of the amortization and impairment of intangibles arising from the transaction. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions been effected on the assumed dates.

Warrants

 

On November 12, 2014, the Company granted warrants to a consultant to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on November 12, 2019 and were fully vested on the grant date. The total share based compensation expense recognized relating to these warrants for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $199,356.

 

On March 21, 2015, in connection with the DelMorgan agreement (see note 4), the Company issued 48,000 warrants, each exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrants were fully vested on the date of the grant and expire on March 20, 2018. The warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of the contract date. The total value of $20,114 has been recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and is being amortized over the life of the agreement.

 

On October 30, 2015, the Company granted warrants to a consultant to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on October 30, 2020 and were fully vested on the grant date. The total share based compensation expense recognized relating to these warrants for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $20,719.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company granted 9,719,879 warrants as consideration for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a Board of Director member agreeing to extend the payment terms of their respective note payable balances to a maturity date of April 1, 2017 (see Note 5).

 

10. INCOME TAXES

 

Prior to the completion of the Share Exchange Agreement on October 16, 2014, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities, as the Company was an S-Corporation, and thus the income tax impact of the Company’s operations was passed through to the stockholders. Therefore, the deferred tax activity presented below relates to the Company’s operations subsequent to the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

39
 

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   December 31, 2015   December 31, 2014 
         
Net operating loss carry-forwards  $2,640,747   $684,364 
Share based compensation   655,484    250,123 
Amortization of intangible assets   576,150    - 
Accrued officers compensation   35,325    - 
State taxes   (231,259)   (65,562)
Less: Valuation allowance   (3,676,447)   (868,925)
Deferred tax assets, net  $-   $- 

 

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

 

   December 31, 2015   December 31, 2014 
         
Statutory federal income tax rate   34.0%   34.0%
State taxes, net of federal benefit   6.4%   5.4%
Non-deductible items   -0.1%   -2.3%
Change in valuation allowance   -40.3%   -37.1%
    0.0%   0.0%

 

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses carry forwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward period. Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a 100% valuation allowance against the asset amounts.

 

Any uncertain tax positions would be related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The Company has no liabilities related to uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as of the year end December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Company has not accrued for interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6.2 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income for tax purposes. These net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2034. This carry forward may be limited upon the ownership change under IRC Section 382.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

Until June 2015, the Company leased office space in Hollywood, California under an operating lease which provided for monthly rent of $14,805 through July 31, 2015. In June 2015, the Company moved its offices to a new location in West Hollywood, California under a new operating lease which provides for monthly rent of $6,700 through June 25, 2016. The Company had total rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $143,428 and $135,718, respectively.

 

Employment Agreements

 

On November 21, 2014, we entered into an executive employment agreement effective November 1, 2014 with Rory Cutaia, our president, chief executive officer, secretary and treasurer. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, we have agreed to pay Mr. Cutaia an annual salary of $325,000, which will be increased each year by 10%, subject to the annual review and approval of our board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a mandatory increase of not less than $100,000 per annum will be implemented on our company achieving EBITDA break-even. In addition to the base salary, Mr. Cutaia will be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount up to $325,000, based upon the attainment of performance targets to be established by our board of directors, in its discretion.

 

The initial term of the employment agreement is five years and, upon expiration of the initial five-year term, it may be extended for additional one year periods on ninety days prior notice.

 

In the event that: (i) Mr. Cutaia’s employment is terminated without cause, (ii) Mr. Cutaia is unable to perform his duties due to a physical or mental condition for a period of 120 consecutive days or an aggregate of 180 days in any 12 month period; or (iii) Mr. Cutaia voluntarily terminates the employment agreement upon the occurrence of a material reduction in his salary or bonus, a reduction in his job title or position, or the required relocation of Mr. Cutaia to an office outside of a 30 mile radius of Los Angeles, California, Mr. Cutaia will:

 

(a) receive monthly payments of $27,083, or such sum as is equal to Mr. Cutaia’s monthly base compensation at the time of such termination, whichever is higher, and
   
(b) be reimbursed for COBRA health insurance costs, in each case for 36 months from the date of such termination or to the end of the term of the agreement, whichever is longer.

 

In addition, Mr. Cutaia will have any and all of his unvested stock options immediately vest, with full registration rights; and any unearned and unpaid bonus compensation, expense reimbursement, and all accrued vacation, personal sick days, etc., be deemed earned, vested and paid immediately.

 

As a condition to receiving the foregoing, Mr. Cutaia will be required to execute a release of claims, and a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement having a term which is the same as the term of the monthly severance payments described above.

 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 28, 2016, the Company entered into stock repurchase agreements with three former employees and consultants to acquire an aggregate total of 9,011,324 shares of the Company common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company has the right to purchase the shares at a price of $0.02 per share on or before April 15, 2016.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our chief executive officer, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer, concluded that, as at December 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion reached by our chief executive officer was a result of the material weaknesses described below.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

 

  (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment;
     
  (ii) insufficient staffing resources as a result of having no chief financial officer, resulting in inadequate review procedures; and
     
  (iii) our accounting department was not always informed of events affecting our company or provided with documents supporting same in a timely manner.

 

To address these material weaknesses, our chief executive officer performed additional analyses and other procedures, including retaining the assistance of qualified accounting professionals to assist with the preparation of our financial statements, to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2016 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible. However, we are in the process of implementing processes and procedures intended to mitigate any material weaknesses identified.

 

Subject to receipt of additional financing, we intend to undertake the below remediation measures to address the material weaknesses described in this Form 10-K. Such remediation activities include the following:

 

  (i) we intend to recruit and hire a qualified chief financial officer;
     
  (ii) we intend to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes; and
     
  (iii) we intend to implement procedures pursuant to which we can ensure our accounting department is informed on a timely basis of events affecting our company and is provided the relevant supporting documents to appropriately record the financial impact of such events.

 

42
 

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our chief executive officer, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

 

Based on our evaluation under the framework in COSO, our chief executive officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2015 due to the above-noted material weaknesses with respect to disclosure controls and procedures. The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. We believe we have taken initial steps to mitigate these risks by consulting outside advisors where necessary.

 

Our management believes that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Business Experience

 

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience of directors and executive officers during at least the past five years, indicating their principal occupation during the period, and the name and principal business of the organization by which they were employed:

 

Rory J. Cutaia, Chairman, President, CEO, Secretary, Treasurer and Director

 

Rory J. Cutaia founded bBooth USA (formerly Cutaia Media Group, LLC) in August 2012. Prior to joining bBooth USA, Mr. Cutaia was a partner with Corinthian Capital Group, Inc., a private equity fund based in New York involved in investing in middle market U.S. based companies, from October 2006 to August 2011. During his tenure at Corinthian, from June, 2008 to October 2011, Mr. Cutaia was the co-founder and Executive Chairman of Allied Fiber, Inc., a company engaged in the construction of a nation-wide fiber-optic network and from June 2007 to August 2011, Mr. Cutaia was CEO of GreenFields Coal Company, a company engaged in the deployment of technology to recycle coal waste and clean-up coal waste sites. Before joining Corinthian, from January 2000 to October 2006, Mr. Cutaia was the Founder, Chairman and CEO of The Telx Group, Inc., a company engaged in the telecom carrier inter-connection, colocation and data center business, which he sold in 2006.

Mr. Cutaia obtained his JD in law from the Fordham University School of Law in 1985 and his Bachelor of Science from the New York Institute of Technology in 1982.

 

We believe that Mr. Cutaia is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his knowledge of our current operations in addition to his education and business experiences described above.

In these roles he acquired substantial business management, strategic, operational, human resource, financial, disclosure, compliance and corporate governance skills. These were the primary reasons that we concluded that he should serve as a director of our company.

Significant Employees

 

We do not currently have any significant employees other than our executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our directors and executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

  

  (a) any petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency laws filed by or against, or an appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which such person was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which such person was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;
     
  (b) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
     
  (c) being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining such person from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities: (i) acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity; engaging in any type of business practice; or (iii) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodities laws;
     
  (d) being the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (c)(i) above, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

 

45
 

 

  (e) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Securities and Exchange Commission has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
     
  (f) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;
     
  (g) being the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease- and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
     
  (h) being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding Shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership concerning their Shares with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We are required to disclose delinquent filings of reports by such persons.

 

Based solely on the copies of such reports and amendments thereto received by us, or written representations that no filings were required, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers and directors and 10% stockholders were met for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a formal code of ethics within the meaning of Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions that establishes, among other things, procedures for handling actual or apparent conflicts of interest.

 

Committees of Board of Directors

 

We currently have an audit committee consisting of Rory Cutaia, James Geiskopf and Peter Jensen. We do not presently have a separately constituted compensation committee, nominating committee, or any other committees of our board of directors. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.

 

We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request to the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

Under Canadian National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) reporting issuers are required to provide disclosure with respect to its audit committee, which consists of Rory Cutaia, James Geiskopf and Peter Jensen.

 

Audit Committee Charter

 

We adopted our audit committee charter on November 12, 2014. The text of our audit committee charter was disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 2014 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015.

 

Corporate Governance

 

General

 

Our board of directors believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. Canadian National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, Canadian National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices prescribes certain disclosure by our company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.

 

Board of Directors

 

We currently act with four directors consisting of Rory J. Cutaia, Michael Psomas, James P. Geiskopf and Peter Jensen. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group, which does not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not considered to be independent if he is also an executive officer or is, or at any time during the past three years was, employee of the company. Under this rule, Rory J. Cutaia is not independent because Mr. Cutaia is our chairman, president, chief executive officer, secretary and treasurer. Under this rule, James P. Geiskopf, Michael T. Psomas and Peter Jensen are independent.

 

Directorships

 

James Geiskopf is currently also a director of Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd. and of RedStone Literary Agents, Inc.

 

Peter Jensen is currently also a director of Deer Horn Capital Inc., Protokinetix Incorporated, New Age Farm Inc., RepliCel Life Sciences Inc., and Solar Flow-Through Limited Partnership (2012 through 2015).

 

Orientation and Continuing Education

 

We have an informal process to orient and educate new recruits to the board regarding their role on the board, our committees and our directors, as well as the nature and operations of our business. This process provides for an orientation with key members of the management staff, and further provides access to materials necessary to inform them of the information required to carry out their responsibilities as a board member. This information includes the most recent board approved budget, the most recent annual report, the audited financial statements and copies of the interim quarterly financial statements.

 

The board does not provide continuing education for its directors. Each director is responsible to maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to meet his obligations as director.

 

Ethical Business Conduct

 

We have adopted a formal code of ethics within the meaning of Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions that establishes, among other things, procedures for handling actual or apparent conflicts of interest.

 

We have found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by our governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the board of directors in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the board of directors operates in the best interests of our company.

 

47
 

 

Nomination of Directors

 

As of March 30, 2016, we had not effected any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

 

Compensation

 

Our board of directors is responsible for determining compensation for the directors of our company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a director of a public company.

 

Other Board Committees

 

Other than our audit committee, we have no committees of our board of directors. We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request to the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

 

Assessments

 

The board intends that individual director assessments be conducted by other directors, taking into account each director’s contributions at board meetings, service on committees, experience base, and their general ability to contribute to one or more of our company’s major needs. However, due to our stage of development and our need to deal with other urgent priorities, the board has not yet implemented such a process of assessment.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In evaluating the independence of our members and the composition of the committees of our board of directors, we utilize the definition of “independence” as that term is defined by applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards of an audit committee and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

According to the Nasdaq definition, we believe James Geiskopf, Michael Psomas and Peter Jensen are independent directors because they are not officers of our company and are not beneficial owners of a material amount of shares of our common stock. We have determined that Rory Cutaia is not independent due to the fact that he is the executive officer of our company.

 

Our board of directors expects to continue to evaluate its independence standards and whether and to what extent the composition of our board of directors and its committees meets those standards. We ultimately intend to appoint such persons to our board and committees of our board as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will be independent directors of which at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

On November 21, 2014, we entered into an executive employment agreement effective November 1, 2014 with Rory Cutaia, our president, chief executive officer, secretary and treasurer. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, we have agreed to pay Mr. Cutaia an annual salary of $325,000, which will be increased each year by 10%, subject to the annual review and approval of our board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a mandatory increase of not less than $100,000 per annum will be implemented on our company achieving EBITDA break-even. In addition to the base salary, Mr. Cutaia will be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount up to $325,000, based upon the attainment of performance targets to be established our board of directors, in its discretion.

 

The initial term of the employment agreement is five years and, upon expiration of the initial five-year term, it may be extended for additional one year periods on ninety days prior notice.

 

In the event that: (i) Mr. Cutaia’s employment is terminated without cause, (ii) Mr. Cutaia is unable to perform his duties due to a physical or mental condition for a period of 120 consecutive days or an aggregate of 180 days in any 12 month period; or (iii) Mr. Cutaia voluntarily terminates the employment agreement upon the occurrence of a material reduction in his salary or bonus, a reduction in his job title or position, or the required relocation of Mr. Cutaia to an office outside of a 30-mile radius of Los Angeles, California, Mr. Cutaia will receive monthly payments of $27,083, or such sum as is equal to Mr. Cutaia’s monthly base compensation at the time of such termination, whichever is higher, and be reimbursed for COBRA health insurance costs, in each case for 36 months from the date of such termination or to the end of the term of the agreement, whichever is longer. In addition, he will have any and all of his unvested stock options immediately vest, with full registration rights; and any as yet unearned and unpaid bonus compensation, expense reimbursement, and all accrued vacation, personal and sick days, etc., be deemed earned, vested and paid immediately.

 

As a condition to receiving the foregoing, Mr. Cutaia will be required to execute a release of claims, and a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement having a term which is the same as the term of the monthly severance payments described above.

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company granted 8,920,593 warrants to Mr. Cutaia as consideration for agreeing to extend the payment terms of his note payable balances to a maturity date of April 1, 2017. The warrants are immediately vested and have an exercise price of $0.07 and expire on November 30, 2018. The warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and have an aggregate value of $389,830.

 

Aaron Meyerson was employed by bBooth for an annual salary of $225,000 pursuant to an employment agreement dated August 4, 2014. Mr. Meyerson resigned effective July 21, 2015.

 

Leigh Collier was paid $200,000 per annum and Kim Watson was paid $150,000 per annum prior to their resignations in 2015. There are no written employment or consulting agreements currently in place with any of these officers.

The warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and have an aggregate value of $424,758.

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Anton & Chia and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining its respective independence.
