2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Basis of Presentation

On April 18, 2023, we implemented a 1-for-40 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Our Common Stock commenced trading on a post Reverse Stock Split basis on April 19, 2023. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every forty (40) shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities were also reduced by a factor of forty and the exercise price of such securities increased by a factor of forty, as of April 18, 2023. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout our consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this Annual Report have been adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split. The par value per share of our Common Stock was not affected by this Reverse Stock Split.

On October 8, 2024, we implemented a 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Our Common Stock commenced trading on a post Reverse Stock Split basis on October 9, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every two hundred (200) shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities were also reduced by a factor of two hundred and the exercise price of such securities increased by a factor of two hundred, as of October 8, 2024. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout our condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this Annual Report have been further adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split. The par value per share of our Common Stock was not affected by this Reverse Stock Split.

As discussed in Note 1, among the terms of the Sale of the SaaS Assets was that additional payments of $1,750 will be paid to us by the buyer if certain profitability and revenue targets are met within the two-year period following the closing date. The contingent payments were not recorded at the closing date of the sale and will be recognized as the cash is received and the contingency resolved pursuant to ASC 450-30.

In connection with the SaaS sale, the Company had also met the criterion pursuant to ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, as a strategic shift from operating and managing a SaaS business to operating and managing a live streaming shopping platform has occurred because of the sale. As a result, the Company’s consolidated results of operations and statements of cash flows reflect the presentation of discontinued operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Direct, LLC, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, verbMarketplace, LLC and Go Fund Yourself LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Go Fund Yourself is not wholly owned, but the Company has consolidated the results of Go Fund Yourself as it has been determined that the Company has the power to direct and control the activities of this entity and has a 51% voting interest. The equity interests of others who own less than 50% in Go Fund Yourself are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as non-controlling interests. The portion of net income or loss attributable to others who own less than 50% are reflected as net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of operations.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation within the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

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 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.

Segment Information

Effective July 1, 2024, the Company operates as two reportable segments, MARKET.live and Go Fund Yourself. We identify our segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, and in the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), allocates resources and assesses financial performance. See Note 17 for disclosures of Segment Information.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue through June 13, 2023 of the year ended December 31, 2023 were derived primarily from providing application services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services. During that period, the Company also derived revenue from the sale of customized print products and training materials, branded apparel, and digital tools, as demanded by its customers. As a result of the sale of the SaaS business, revenue that was recorded historically from the SaaS business has been reclassified as part of discontinued operations. See Note 6 for revenue disclosures related to the SaaS business.

The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes

(1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer,

(2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement,

(3) determining the transaction price,

(4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and

(5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Pursuant to ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations (defined below) under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products or services to our customers based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the contractual consideration that the Company receives in exchange for its services.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations for each segment are described below within each segment’s discussion of revenue recognition.

MARKET.live revenue is derived from contract-based recurring fee revenue services that include, among other things, a full suite of social commerce services for consumer brands and merchants seeking to adopt or expand online commerce and social selling capabilities, including end-to-end creative services such as content creation and full remote and in-studio production services, host/influencer/affiliate casting and management, TikTok Shop and other social media platform online store creation, set-up and establishment, maintenance and enhancements. Clients are referred to us through our existing partnership with TikTok Shop and other social media channels, as well as from several brand agencies with whom we maintain affiliate relationships. The revenue associated with these services is typically recognized over time as the performance obligations are completed.

Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as for certain services the Company is engaged in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

MARKET.live performance obligations for other services include special projects, content creation, and livestream management. Performance obligations also include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform and customer service support. These performance obligations are distinct and contribute to the overall service delivery and client management.

GO FUND YOURSELF Show (“GFY”) derives revenue from fees we charge to issuers for full-scale onsite production services as the first 75% of the contract value is recognized as revenue once the show has been shot at the Company’s production facilities. The Company satisfies this performance obligation when the shooting is complete. Revenues are also derived from fees we charge to issuers for post-production services and for marketing, ad, and content creation and distribution services. Upon delivery of the post-production services which includes airing the show on Cheddar network, the remaining 25% of the contract value is recognized as revenue. The revenue associated with these services is recognized over time as the performance obligations are completed. GFY fees are based on service packages that range from $15,000 to $60,000 per client issuer. The Company accepts cash as payment or equity (non-cash) as payment for these services. For those client issuers that sell products during the airing of the show through our platform, we charge a fee of up to 25% of the gross sales revenue for all products sold.

GO FUND YOURSELF Show performance obligations include the shoot date production services and post-production services that include editing services to create clips from the Show that the client issuers can distribute across social media and utilize in connection with their marketing initiatives. These performance obligations are distinct and contribute to the overall service delivery and client issuer engagement.

Vanity Prescribed/GoodGirlRx.com derives revenue from the sale of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical and health-care products, both through long-term subscriptions and non-prescription programs. The revenue associated with this revenue stream is recognized as of a point in time when the product is shipped to the customer.

The Company bears the entire performance obligation and risk. The primary performance obligation is the shipment of the prescribed medication to the customer. Ancillary services, such as prescription verification and customer support, are not distinct and are considered part of the medication delivery process. The cost of the consultation is only part of the performance obligation if the client does not already have a prescription. This is consistent with our position that our performance obligation is limited to shipping because we could not ship the product until the physician from the consultation issues the prescription.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were substantially all generated from clients and customers located within the United States of America.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of processing fees and independent contractors associated with the MARKET.live platform and independent contractors for shows related to Go Fund Yourself.

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.

The following table provides information about contract liabilities from contracts with customers, including significant changes in the contract liabilities balance during the period:

 SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT LIABILITIES

The Company expects to recognize revenue related to contract liabilities within the next 12 months.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and is stated at net realizable value. The Company estimates losses on receivables based on expected losses, including its historical experience of actual losses. Receivables are considered impaired and written-off when it is probable that all contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the accounts receivable balance was $350 and $0, respectively.

The Company follows ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off based on past history of write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for credit losses balance was $0 and $0, respectively.

Investments

In accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt Securities, the Company accounts for its investments as trading securities consisting of U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds that are reported at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are included in other income (expense), net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s investments in trading securities are classified as current based on the intent of management, the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations. See Note 3 – Investments and Fair Value Measurements for further details of the Company’s investments at December 31, 2024.

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 amortization. Amortization begins once the project has been completed and is ready for its intended use.

Due to changes in management’s assessment of its capitalized software development asset, the Company revised the asset’s remaining useful life effective January 1, 2024 and will amortize the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of four years. Software maintenance activities or minor upgrades are recorded as expense in the period performed.

Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs are recorded in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

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. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining period of the applicable lease term.

Business Combinations

Pursuant to FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and separately identified intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from, acquired technology, trademarks and trade names, useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is the period needed to gather all information necessary to make the purchase price allocation, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. See Note 18 for Subsequent Events.

Intangible Assets

The Company has certain intangible assets that were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer contracts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of domain names. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years.

The Company reviews all finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the excess carrying value over the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations.

The Company did not record any impairment charges related to indefinite lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangible 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.

On June 13, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of the operating assets and liabilities of the SaaS business to SW Sales for $6,500, including $4,750 of cash paid upon closing. The operations of the SaaS business have been presented within discontinued operations. Upon completion of the sale of assets to SW Sales, in which the buyer assumed all liabilities related to the SaaS business, the Company recorded an impairment of $5,441 within loss from discontinued operations as the carrying amount of the net assets exceeded the sale price, less selling costs.

Leases

The Company leases two separate studios under lease agreements with monthly payments over a period of 36 months. The Company also leases space for its corporate office under a month-to-month lease agreement. The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at contract inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is determined based on the right to obtain all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) for operating leases represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in the general and administrative line in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB 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 basis 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 and state 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, 2024, and 2023, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Preferred Stock

The Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as part of stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the Series C Preferred Stock offering on December 29, 2023 is classified as part of stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, all of the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and the related dividend payable were redeemed in exchange for common shares.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represents the portion of net assets in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. In January 2025, we have entered into arrangements with third-party investors under which the investors are determined to hold non-controlling interests in entities fully consolidated by the Company. The net assets of the shared entities are attributed to the controlling and non-controlling interests based on the terms of the governing contractual arrangements. The net loss of $181 that is allocated to the non-controlling interests is included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 (“ASC 820”) and FASB ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. 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 (3) 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 (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial 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 the derivative liabilities, see Note 3 for Investments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 10 for Derivative Liability.

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 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 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.

Advertising Costs

All costs associated with advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $583 and $441 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock options, 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 its common stock and is recognized as expense over the service period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. 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

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 or conversion.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had total outstanding options of 18,075 and 10,435, respectively, outstanding warrants of 3,545 and 4,598, respectively, outstanding restricted stock units of 198,823 and 767, respectively, which were all excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position during the reported periods.

At the close of business on April 5, 2024, the Company’s unexercised publicly traded warrants under the symbol VERBW expired pursuant to their original terms and as such Nasdaq suspended trading the 879 remaining warrants and the trading symbol VERBW was delisted from Nasdaq.

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 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 credit losses 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 the high level of credit worthiness of its customers.

The Company’s concentration of credit risk includes its concentrations from key customers and vendors. The details of these significant customers and vendors are presented in the following table for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
