Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Direct, LLC, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, and verbMarketplace, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

 

Going Concern

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $13,363 and used cash in operations of $11,002. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements were issued.

 

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000 of newly issued shares (the “Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”), issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

On January 12, 2022, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with three institutional investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300 in convertible notes due January 2023 (each, a “Note,” and, collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “Note Offering”). The Company and the Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January 12, 2022, in connection with the Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to the Note Holders in substantially all of its assets.

 

On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), which provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of (i) 14,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase 14,666,667 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The Purchase Agreement, among other things, restricts us from selling shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and pursuant to an “at-the-market” offering previously entered into with Truist Securities. As a result of this transaction, certain of our Series A warrants which previously had exercise prices ranging from $1.10 to $2.10 per share were repriced to $0.75 per share. As a result of entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company repaid $1,650 in principal payments of the Notes issued pursuant to the Note Offering.

 

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to operate its business and pay its debt obligations as they become due, it may need to seek to raise additional capital, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, or change its business strategy. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available in the amounts, on terms, or at times deemed acceptable by the Company. The issuance of additional equity securities would result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders and could include rights or preferences senior to those the current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans would increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments and potentially impose significant operational or financial restrictions. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the Company may be unable to continue its business, as planned, and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations, which may result in the stockholders losing some or all of their investment.

 

For additional information, refer to Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the section titled “Risk Factors”, within the 2021 Annual Report.

 

Use of Estimates

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 at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.

 

Significant estimates include assumptions made in analysis of reserves for allowance of doubtful accounts, inventory, assumptions made in purchase price allocations, impairment testing of long-term assets, realization of deferred tax assets, determining fair value of derivative liabilities, and valuation of equity instruments issued for services. Some of those assumptions can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services.

 

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

 

  1. Digital Revenue which is divided into two main categories:

 

  a. SaaS recurring digital revenue based on contract-based subscriptions to verb app products and platform services which include verbCRM, verbLEARN, verbLIVE, verbTEAMS, and verbPULSE. The revenue is recognized straight-line over the subscription period.

 

  b. Non-SaaS, non-recurring digital revenue, which is revenue generated by the use of app products and in-app purchases, such as sampling and other services obtained through the app. The revenue for samples is recognized upon completion and shipment, while the design fees are recognized when the service has been rendered and the app is delivered to the customer.

 

Subscription revenue from the application services is recognized over the life of the estimated subscription period. The Company also charges certain customers setup or installation fees for the creation and development of websites and mobile applications. These fees are accounted for as part of contract liabilities and amortized over the estimated life of the agreement. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer.

 

  2. Non-digital revenue, which is revenue generated from non-app, non-digital sources through ancillary services provided as an accommodation to clients and customers. These services, which are now outsourced to a strategic partner as part of a cost reduction plan instituted in 2020, include design, printing services, fulfillment and shipping services. The revenue is recognized upon completion and shipment of products or fulfillment to the customer. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a customer referral agreement with a third party for its cart site and printing business. Under the agreement, the Company will earn a certain percentage for customer referrals and merchandise sales as well as a cart site design fee, all of which will be recognized as non-digital revenue on a net basis.

 

The non-digital products sold by us are distinctly individual. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Other than promotional activities, which can vary from time to time but nevertheless are entirely within the Company’s control, contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. The control of products we sell transfers to our customers upon shipment from our facilities, and our performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected as part of revenue, and the related costs are reflected in cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Historically, we have not experienced any significant payment delays from customers. The Company allows returns within 30 days of purchase from end-users. Customers may return purchased products under certain circumstances. Returns from customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

 

Revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were substantially all generated from clients and customers located within the United States of America, though some utilize the Company’s applications outside the United States of America.

 

 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue primarily consists of the salaries of certain employees and contractors, digital content costs, purchase price of consumer products, packaging supplies, and customer shipping and handling expenses. Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of revenue upon sale of products to our customers.

 

Contract Liabilities

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities represent consideration received from customers under revenue contracts for which the Company has not yet delivered or completed its performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized over the contract period.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes internal and external costs directly associated with developing internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license, during the application development stage of its projects. The Company’s internal-use software is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation begins once the project has been completed and is ready for its intended use. The Company will depreciate the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of three years, which is the estimated useful life. Software maintenance activities or minor upgrades are expensed in the period performed. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company capitalized $6,461 and $4,348, respectively, in software development costs and recorded as capitalized software development costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 3).

 

Depreciation expense related to capitalized software development costs are recorded in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no depreciation expense related to capitalized software development costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as the software had not been completed and utilized as of the balance sheet dates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

 

The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

 

  Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
  Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
  Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of financing obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative financial instruments.

 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a Binomial pricing model. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjusted to fair value of derivatives.

 

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Share-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 fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and is recognized as expense over the service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for services.

 

Net Loss Per Share

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 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon exercise.

 

As of June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company had total outstanding options of 5,983,669 and 5,875,190, respectively, warrants of 25,651,407 and 12,389,228, respectively, outstanding restricted stock units of 2,199,388 and 2,751,508, respectively, and Convertible Notes Due 2023 that are convertible into 1,495,289 and 0 shares at $3.00 per share, respectively, which were all excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

 

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with a limited number of financial institutions. The balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250.

 

The Company evaluates the concentration of credit risk associated with key customers. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our revenues individually or in the aggregate.

 

The Company extends limited credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits. The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the Company’s evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and credit worthiness of its customers.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no customers that accounted for 10% of our accounts receivable individually or in the aggregate.

 

The Company also evaluates the concentration of credit risk associated with key vendors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we had one vendor that accounted for 44% and 41%, respectively, of our purchases individually and in the aggregate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had one vendor that accounted for 30% and 28%, respectively, of our purchases individually and in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had one vendor that accounted for 41% and 40%, respectively, of accounts payable individually and in the aggregate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and that adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

 

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 will require companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption impact of the new standard will depend on the magnitude of future acquisitions. The standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the adoption date.

 

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832)—Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 increases the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As a small business filer, ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and the provisions of this update can be adopted using either the modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
