MOBIQUITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015
(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS —

 

On September 10, 2013, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. changed its name from Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. (the "Company" or "Mobiquity"). We operate through two wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, namely, Mobiquity Networks, Inc. and Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. Mobiquity Networks owns 100% of Mobiquity Wireless S.L.U, a company incorporated in Spain. This corporation has an office in Spain to support our U.S. operations.

 

We operate a national location-based mobile advertising network that has developed a consumer-focused proximity network which we believe is unlike any other in the United States. Our integrated suite of proprietary location based mobile advertising technologies allows clients to execute more personalized and contextually relevant experiences, driving brand awareness and incremental revenue.

 

Leveraging our agreements with Simon Property Group, Inc. (which we refer to herein as” Simon” or “Simon Property”), and Macerich Partnership, L.P. (which we refer to as “Macerich”), the number one and number three mall operators, respectively, in the U.S. in terms of number of Class A properties, we have installed our location-based mobile advertising solutions in the common areas of approximately 295 retail destinations across the U.S. to create “smart malls” using Bluetooth-enabled iBeacon compatible technology. As part of our plan to expand our mall footprint into the common areas of other malls, we recently have also added 27 malls operated by PREIT Services, LLC, which we will refer to as “PREIT.” We have also added 30 malls operating by Rouse Properties TRS, Inc. which we will refer to as “Rouse.” In December 2015, we entered into an agreement with GGPLP REIT Services, LLC (which we refer to as “GGP”), the second largest mall operator in the United States, to install our Mobi-Beacons in approximately 120 malls in 2016. We plan to further expand our mall footprint into the common areas of other malls and outside of malls with additional synergistic venues that will allow for cross marketing opportunities, including venues such as stadiums, arenas, additional college campuses, airports and retail chains. For example, we have entered into an agreement with the New York State University at Stony Brook to deploy a mobile advertising network in their new arena. This type of installation will enable fan engagement, cross-marketing opportunities, sponsorship activation and create interactive event experiences. This is our first installation in the university market.

 

Ace Marketing is our legacy marketing and promotions business which provides integrated marketing services to our commercial customers. While Ace Marketing currently represents substantially all of our revenue, we anticipate that activity from Ace Marketing will represent a diminishing portion of corporate revenue as our attention is now principally focused on developing and executing on opportunities in our Mobiquity Networks business.

 

GOING CONCERN - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional debt and/or equity financing to advance its new technology revenue stream. The Company has incurred losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $46,322,260. The Company has had negative cash flows from operating activities of $3,610,632 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:

 

In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan related to the Bluetooth-enabled iBeacon compatible technology. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders and investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raises doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company that will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s efforts to raise equity and debt at acceptable terms or that the planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., Ace Marketing, Inc., (which has had its name changed to Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. and Mobiquity Wireless S.L.U.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared by us without audit, and in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of June 30, 2016, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, and determined there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

 

The information contained in this report on Form 10-Q should he read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS- The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. 

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

 

The following table summarizes the derivative liability activity for the period December 31, 2015 through June 30, 2016:

 

Description  Derivative Liabilities 
Fair value at December 31, 2015  $576,557 
Change due to Issuances   1,590,780 
Change in Fair Value   (756,835)
Fair value at June 30, 2016  $1,410,502 

 

 7 
 

  

For the three month period ended June 30, 2016, net derivative income / (loss) was ($537,497) and an initial derivative expense of $565,780.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 2.  

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Fair value of derivatives  $   $1,410,502   $   $1,410,502 

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 2.  

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting related to 22 convertible notes issued totaling $3,675,000 which included a ratchet provision in the conversion price of $0.30 or a price equal to the last equity transaction completed by the Company as part of a subscription agreement. The notes all have a maturity date of December 31, 2016.

 

In this period ending June 30, 2016 the Company issued additional financial instruments in a subscription that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting related to six convertible notes issued totaling $1,025,000 which included a ratchet provision in the conversion price of $0.20 or a price equal to the last equity transaction completed by the Company as part of the ongoing subscription agreement and the additional warrants (5 year options with an exercise price of $0.20 and full ratchet reset provisions) issued as part of the note conversions. The notes all have a maturity date of April 2017.

 

Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives for convertible debentures and associated warrants using a multinomial lattice model as of June 30, 2016. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter $1,410,502 as of June 30, 2016, which resulted in a fair value gain of $537,497 and derivative expense of $565,780 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the fair market value of the derivatives aggregated $1,410,502, using the following assumptions: estimated 0.050 to 5.0-year term (notes and warrants), estimated volatility of 160.10% to 188.95%, and a discount rate of 0.36% to 0.49%.

 

 8 
 

 

Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory note, approximated fair value as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates. No instruments are carried at fair value.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balances were $219,926 and $2,044,662, respectively.

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

 

The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed FDIC limits. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company exceeded FDIC limits by $0 and $1,644,032, respectively.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION — The Company recognizes revenue, for all revenue streams, when it is realized or realizable and estimable in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition". The Company will recognize revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

  · Persuasive evidence for an agreement exists;
  · Service has been provided;
  · The fee is fixed or determinable; and,
  · Collection is reasonably assured.

 

ACE MARKETING — Ace Marketing's revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since Ace Marketing has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Advance payments made by customers are included in customer deposits. Ace Marketing records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred. Additional source of revenue, derived from emails/texts directly to consumers are recognized under contractual arrangements. Revenue from this advertising method is recognized at the time of service provided.

 

MOBIQUITY NETWORKS - Mobiquity has three avenues of income with our beacon platform, Bluetooth Push and Wi-Fi. Revenue is realized with the signing of the advertising contract. The customer signs a contract directly with us for an advertising campaign with mutually agreed upon term and is billed on the start date of the advertising campaign, which are normally in short duration periods. Revenue is recognized the same way for the three mobile solutions. The first option to earn revenue with the beacon platform is for customers to contract for advertising campaigns, on our platform, either directly through their own app or through various third party apps. The second option to earn revenue is through a revenue share with advertising exchanges and networks that deliver advertising campaigns to their customers based on our real-time location signal data. The third option would be through selling our historical data to data management platform companies.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Management must make estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, allowance for doubtful accounts were $104,611 and $104,611, respectively.

INVENTORY - Inventory is recorded at cost (First In, First Out) and is comprised of finished goods. The Company maintains an inventory on hand for its largest customer's frequent order items. All items held are branded for the customer, therefore are not available for public distribution. The Company has an agreement with this customer, for cost recovery, if vendor relationship is terminated. There have been minimal reserves placed on inventory, based on this arrangement. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has reserved against $31,676 and $31,676, respectively.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is expensed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and improvements, which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income.

 

LONG LIVED ASSETS - Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

 

WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY - Website technology developed during the prior years were capitalized for the period of development and testing. Expenditures during the planning stage and after implementation have been expensed in accordance with ASC 985.

 

ADVERTISING COSTS- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, there were advertising costs of $0 and $5,495, respectively.

 

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term ("volatility") and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed ("forfeitures"). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 8 "Stock Option Plans" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a more detailed discussion.

 

BENEFICIAL CONVERSIONS - Debt instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as deemed interest to the holders of the convertible debt instruments. The beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair values of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the debt instrument limited to the value received.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The Company's functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We own a subsidiary in Europe. Our subsidiary's functional currency is the EURO. All transactions initiated in EUROs are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, "Translation of Financial Statements," as follows:

 

  (i) Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.
  (ii) Fixed assets and equity transactions at historical rates.
  (iii) Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income.

 

INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities for which income tax or tax benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation's reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

 

NOTE 2: LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding under the treasury stock and if converted method. As of June 30, 2016 there were 42,204,106 potential dilutive shares that needed to be considered as common share equivalents.

Long-term portion of debt  $231,643   $3,933,795 

 

(a) Between August and December 2015, the Company borrowed $3,675,000 from accredited investors. These loans are due and payable the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the completion of an equity financing of at least $2,500,000. Upon the sale of the unsecured promissory notes, the Company issued $1 of principal, one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share through August 31, 2017. Accordingly, an aggregate of 3,675,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a like amount were issued in the last six months of 2015. Each noteholder has the right to convert the principal of their note and accrued interest thereon at a conversion price of $0.30 per share or at the noteholder’s option, into equity securities of the Company on the same terms as the last equity transaction completed by the Company prior to each respective conversion date.

 

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting related to 22 convertible notes issued totaling $3,675,000 which included a ratchet provision in the conversion price of $0.30 or a price equal to the last equity transaction completed by the Company as part of a subscription agreement. The notes all have a maturity date of December 31, 2016. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives for convertible debentures and associated warrants using a multinomial lattice model as of June 30, 2016. The fair values of these derivative instruments are measured each quarter, which resulted in a gain of $294,854. As of June 30, 2016, the fair market value of these derivatives aggregated $281,703, using the following assumptions: estimated 0.50 to 5.0-year term, estimated volatility of 160.10% to 188.95%, and a discount rate of 0.49%.

 

In April 2016 through the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company issued and sold 12% unsecured promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,025,000, convertible at $0.20 per common share. Upon conversion, the note holders would receive 100% warrant coverage, exercisable at $0.20 per common share over a period of five years with cashless exercise provisions. These notes automatically convert in the event at least $5 million is raised in an equity financing. Prior to the mandatory conversion date, note holders have the option to convert the principal and accrued interest also on the same terms as the mandatory conversion and the Company has the option to prepay. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter, which resulted in a gain of $461,981. As of June 30, 2016, the fair market value of these derivatives aggregated $1,128,799, using the following assumptions: estimated 0.50 to 5.0-year term, estimated volatility of 160.10% to 188.95%, and a discount rate of 0.49%.

NOTE 4: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

  

In December 2015, the Company sold 200,000 shares of its Series AA Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $10 per share and raised $2 million. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 50 shares of Common Stock at an effective conversion price of $.20 per share of Common Stock. The Preferred Stockholder has anti-dilution protection rights through December 31, 2016. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company sold an additional 40,000 shares of its Series AA Preferred Stock and raised $400,000.

 

During the quarter ended March 31,2016, the Company issued 695,000 common shares, at $0.10 to $0.19 per share, valued at $97,800. During the June 30, 2016 quarter the Company issued 245,000 common shares, at $0.10 to $0.11 per share, valued at $24,950 in exchange for services rendered.

  

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 210,333 common shares, at $0.13 to $0.18 per share, valued at $35,215. During the June 30, 2016 quarter the Company issued 244,344 common shares, at $0.11 per share, valued at $27,000 in exchange for interest.

 

NOTE 5: STOCK COMPENSATION

 

Compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements utilizing the straight line method for the cost of these awards.

 

The Company's results for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $166,000 and $501,000, respectively. The Company's results for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $349,000 and $955,000, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling, general and administrative expenses. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements due to a history of operating losses.

 

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (unaudited):

NOTE 6: STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") for the granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 4,000,000. During Fiscal 2009, the Company established a plan of long-term stock-based compensation incentives for selected Eligible Participants of the Company covering 4,000,000 shares. This plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in October 2009 and shall be known as the 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan"). In September 2013, the Company's stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares covered by the 2009 Plan to 10,000,000. In February 2015, the board approved, subject to stockholder approval within one year, an increase in the number of shares under the 2009 Plan to 20,000,000 shares. (The 2005 and 2009 Plans are collectively referred to as the "Plans" and the Company has a combined 14,000,000 shares, which will increase to 24,000,000 shares upon stockholder approval of the increase in the 2009 Plan, available for issuance under the Plans.)

 

 12 
 

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the Board approved and stockholders ratified a 2016 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan covering 10,000,000 shares (the “2016 Plan”) and approving moving all options which exceeded the 2009 Plan limits to the 2016 Plan.

 

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to the provisions of ASC 718 "Stock Compensation", previously Revised SFAS No. 123 "Share-Based Payment" ( "SFAS 123 (R)"). The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, after taking into certain discounts. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously, such assumptions were determined based on historical data.

 

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended
June 30
   Six Months Ended
June 30
 
   2016   2015   2016   2015 
Expected volatility   137.84%    27.07%    135.65%    32.04% 
Expected dividend yield                
Risk-free interest rate   1.14%    1.61%    1.38%    1.90%

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $.11 and $0.40, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at June 30, 2016 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $.10 closing price of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2016.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was $609,161.

 

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair value of warrants granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

COMMITMENTS—

 

Simon Properties

 

In April 2011, we entered into our agreement with Simon Property Group, which agreement was amended first in September 2013 and then in July 2014. This second amendment provides for us to expand our location-based mobile mall network footprint to about 240 Simon malls across the United States. Our agreement with Simon currently expires December 31, 2017. Simon is entitled to receive fees from us equal to the greater of a pre-set per mall fee or a percentage of revenues derived from within the Simon Mall network. The revenue share agreement in which Simon participates will exceed the minimum annual mall fees if the Company has generated revenues within the Simon network of about $15 million or more in a calendar year. Our agreement with Simon requires the company to maintain letters of credit for each calendar year under the agreement represented by the minimum amount of fees due for such calendar year. For 2015, the minimum fees of $2.7 million has been secured through two bank letters of credit, one of which was issued in the amount of $1,350,000 utilizing the funds of a non-affiliated stockholder and the second letter of credit was obtained in the same amount through the funds of Thomas Arnost, our Executive Chairman. In the event Simon draws down upon either letter of credit, we have until the next minimum payment due date (approximately 90 days) after the draw down to obtain replacement letters of credit. Each person who secured our letters of credit has the opportunity to notify us that they wish to turn the cash funds securing the letters of credit over to us and to convert such funds into Common Stock currently at a conversion price of $.20 per share. Also, each person who issued the letter of credit is receiving quarterly, while the letters of credit are outstanding, options to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at the prevailing market price per share on the date of grant and interest at the rate of 8% per annum on the monies that they have had to set aside in their bank accounts and are unable to have access to such monies. In April and July, 2016, Simon drew down on each bank letter of credit for an aggregate of $525,625 owed to each letter of credit provider.

In February 2012, we entered into a 63-month lease agreement for new executive office space of approximately 4,200 square feet located at 600 Old Country Road, Suite 541, Garden City, NY 11530. The annual rent under this office facility for the first year is estimated at $127,000, including electricity, subject to an annual increase of 3%. In the event of a default in which the company is evicted from the office space, Mobiquity would be responsible to the landlord for an additional payment of rent of $160,000 in the first year of the lease, an additional payment of $106,667 in the second year of the lease and an additional payment of rent of $53,333 in the third year of the lease. Such additional rent would be payable at the discretion of the company in cash or in shares of common stock of our company. Additional office space in the same building is leased on a month to month basis for $1,600 per month for approximately 800 square feet.

 

Our lease for approximately 2,000 square feet of space at an annual cost of approximately $28,600 (inclusive of taxes) at 1105 Portion Road, Farmingville, NY 11738 expired in November 2013. We currently lease this property on a month to month basis for approximately $2,500 per month beginning December 2014, with a 5% increase in rent each month.

 

In March 2013, we entered into a two-year lease for an approximately 1,200 square foot facility of office and warehouse space in Barcelona, Spain, at monthly cost of approximately $2,200. We are currently negotiating an extension to this lease and expect to extend this lease on a month-to-month basis.

 

In March of 2014, we entered into a month-to-month lease agreement for approximately 400 square feet of office space located in Manhattan, NY at a monthly cost of $3,700. In May of 2015 we moved to a larger location with the same landlord on a month to month basis for $5,250 each month.

 

Rent and real estate tax expense was approximately $1,055,900 and $758,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Rent and real estate tax expense was approximately $1,914,800 and $1,498,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Reportable operating segment is determined based on Mobiquity Technologies, Inc.'s management approach. The management approach, as defined by accounting standards which have been codified into FASB ASC 280, "Segment Reporting," is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance. Our chief operating decision-maker is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

While our results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in two operating segments: (i) Ace Marketing and Promotions, Inc. captures Branding & Branded Merchandise (ii) Mobiquity Networks represent our Mobil Marketing.

 

Corporate management defines and reviews segment profitability based on the same allocation methodology as presented in the segment data tables below:

NOTE 9: COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (referred to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”), with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (referred to herein as “Aspire Capital”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of Common Stock over the approximately 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Aspire Capital 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock as a commitment fee (referred to in herein as the “Commitment Shares”). Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we sold to Aspire Capital 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Initial Purchase Shares”). Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (referred to herein as the “Registration Rights Agreement”), in which we agreed to file one or more registration statements as permissible and necessary to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the sale of the shares of Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement.

  

 19 
 

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was obligated to register 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act, which includes the Commitment Shares and Initial Purchase Shares that have already been issued to Aspire Capital and an additional 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue to Aspire Capital after the registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Said Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 28, 2014 and has since become stale. The Company has no intention to file a post-effective amendment to said Registration Statement as the Purchase Agreement expired on March 31, 2016.

 

NOTE 10: STOCKHOLDER AUTHORIZATION OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

On November 17, 2014, we held a special meeting of our stockholders to approve authorizing our board of directors to effectuate a reverse stock split in its sole discretion of not less than 1-for-5 and not greater than 1-for-20 for the purpose of attempting to obtain a listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT.

Company Overview

 

We operate a national location-based mobile advertising network that has developed a consumer-focused proximity network which we believe is unlike any other in the United States. Our integrated suite of proprietary location based mobile advertising technologies allows clients to execute more personalized and contextually relevant experiences, driving brand awareness and incremental revenue.

 

We have installed our location-based mobile advertising solutions in mall locations to create "smart malls" using Bluetooth-enabled iBeacon compatible technology. Mall locations include Simon malls, Macerich malls, GGP malls, Rouse malls and Preit malls across the United States. We plan to expand our mall footprint in other malls and outside the malls with additional synergistic venues that will allow for cross marketing opportunities in such venues as stadiums, arenas, additional college campuses, airports and retail chains. For example, we have entered into an agreement with the New York State University at Stony Brook to deploy a mobile advertising network in their new arena. This type of installation will enable fan engagement, cross-marketing opportunities, sponsorship activation and create interactive event experiences. This is our first installation in the university market.

 

Ace Marketing is our legacy marketing and promotions business which provides integrated marketing services to our commercial customers. While Ace Marketing currently represents substantially all of our revenue, we anticipate that activity from Ace Marketing will represent a diminishing portion of corporate revenue as our attention is now principally focused on developing and executing on opportunities in our Mobiquity Networks business.

 

Our Agreements with Mall Property Owners/Managers and IBM

 

Simon Properties

 

In April 2011, we entered into our agreement with Simon Property Group, which agreement was amended first in September 2013 and then in July 2014. This second amendment provides for us to expand our location-based mobile mall network footprint to about 240 Simon malls across the United States. Our agreement with Simon currently expires December 31, 2017. Simon is entitled to receive fees from us equal to the greater of a pre-set per mall fee or a percentage of revenues derived from within the Simon Mall network. The revenue share agreement in which Simon participates will exceed the minimum annual mall fees if the Company has generated revenues within the Simon network of about $15 million or more in a calendar year. Our agreement with Simon requires the company to maintain letters of credit for each calendar year under the agreement represented by the minimum amount of fees due for such calendar year. For 2015, the minimum fees of $2.7 million has been secured through two bank letters of credit, one of which was issued in the amount of $1,350,000 utilizing the funds of a non-affiliated stockholder and the second letter of credit was obtained in the same amount through the funds of Thomas Arnost, our Executive Chairman. In the event Simon draws down upon either letter of credit, we have until the next minimum payment due date (approximately 90 days) after the draw down to obtain replacement letters of credit. Each person who secured our letters of credit has the opportunity to notify us that they wish to turn the cash funds securing the letters of credit over to us and to convert such funds into Common Stock currently at a conversion price of $.20 per share. Also, each person who issued the letter of credit is receiving quarterly, while the letters of credit are outstanding, options to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at the prevailing market price per share on the date of grant and interest at the rate of 8% per annum on the monies that they have had to set aside in their bank accounts and are unable to have access to such monies. In April and July, 2016, Simon drew down on each bank letter of credit for an aggregate of $525,625 owed to each letter of credit provider.

GGP

 

In January 2016, we entered into a license agreement with GGP, with an effective date of November 20, 2015. Pursuant to our agreement with GGP, we shall install Mobi-Beacons to send information across the air space of the common areas of our GGP mall network, which will include approximately 120 malls across the United States. Our right to install our Mobi-Beacons to market and sell third party paid advertising in the interior common areas of these malls is exclusive, with defined limitations under the agreement. Under a license agreement between us and GGP currently covering about 120 malls, GGP is entitled to receive fees from us equal to a minimum fee plus the greater of a pre-set per mall fee or a percentage of revenues derived from within the GGP mall network as well as certain commission fees based on revenues generated through GGP’s sales efforts. We believe that the revenue share in which GGP participates will exceed the minimum annual mall fees if we generate revenues within the GGP network of approximately $10 million or more in a calendar year. The agreement also provides for GGP to adjust the number of malls subject to the agreement from time-to-time based upon changes in its beneficial ownership in the malls. Our agreement with GGP has a term of two years from April 1, 2016, but is subject to earlier termination with cause following a notice and cure period in the event of material breach of the agreement or operational failure.

Our right to install our Mobi-Beacons to market and sell third party paid advertising in the interior common areas of these malls is exclusive. Under a license agreement between us and Macerich currently covering 55 malls, Macerich is entitled to receive fees from us equal to a minimum fee plus the greater of a pre-set per mall fee or a percentage of revenues derived from within the Macerich mall network as well as certain commission fees based on revenues generated through Macerich’s sales efforts. We believe that the revenue share in which Macerich participates will exceed the minimum annual mall fees if we generate revenues within the Macerich network of approximately $3 million or more in a calendar year. The agreement also provides for Macerich to adjust the number of malls subject to the agreement from time-to-time based upon changes in its beneficial ownership in the malls. Our agreement with Macerich has a term of three years but is subject to earlier termination (i) with cause following a notice and cure period in the event of material breach of the agreement or (ii) without cause by Macerich after one year on 90 days’ prior written notice to us. In the event of termination of the agreement without cause, Macerich will reimburse us for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

 

IBM

 

In April 2015, we entered into a Joint Initiative Agreement with IBM and enrolled as an IBM Business Partner through IBM's PartnerWorld program.  We are teaming with IBM to deliver jointly developed solutions for mall-based tenants, including retail clients. These solutions leverage the Mobiquity Networks beacon platform deployed exclusively in the common areas of our mall footprint across the United States, as well as our SDK which can be embedded within mall clients' mobile apps, to deliver relevant content in real time to shoppers' smart phones as they visit these malls.  IBM has agreed to work with these clients to provide the analytics solutions needed to deliver personalized, one-on-one content to shoppers through our platform, and to help clients obtain insights from shopper transactions to drive improved customer experience and business performance. IBM services will also provide the integration capabilities needed to combine the Mobiquity Network platform in the mall common areas with the in-store server and network infrastructure, to optimize delivery of context-relevant content for the shopper.  Together, our Joint Initiative Agreement with IBM can help their mall clients provide enhanced omni-channel marketing solutions and optimize business results. The agreement has an initial terms of two years and may be extended by agreement of the parties.

The agreement also provides for Rouse to adjust the number of malls subject to the agreement from time-to-time based upon changes in its beneficial ownership in the malls.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION – The Company recognizes revenue, for all revenue streams, when it is realized or realizable and estimable in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition". The Company will recognize revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

  Persuasive evidence for an agreement exists;
     
  Service has been provided;
     
  The fee is fixed or determinable; and,
     
  Collection is reasonably assured.

 

ACE MARKETING – Ace Marketing's revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since Ace Marketing has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Advance payments made by customers are included in customer deposits. Ace Marketing records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred. Additional source of revenue, derived from emails/texts directly to consumers are recognized under contractual arrangements. Revenue from this advertising method is recognized at the time of service provided.

 

MOBIQUITY NETWORKS – Mobiquity Networks. Mobiquity has three avenues of income with our beacon platform, Bluetooth Push and Wi-Fi. Revenue is realized with the signing of the advertising contract. The customer signs a contract directly with us for an advertising campaign with mutually agreed upon term and is billed on the start date of the advertising campaign, which are normally in short duration periods. Revenue is recognized the same way for the three mobile solutions. The first option to earn revenue with the beacon platform is for customers to contract for advertising campaigns, on our platform, either directly through their own app or through various third party apps. The second option to earn revenue is through a revenue share with advertising exchanges and networks that deliver advertising campaigns to their customers based on our real-time location signal data. The third option would be through selling our historical data to data management platform companies.

 

 23 
 

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors: (a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment terms.

 

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term ("volatility") and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed ("forfeitures"). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Our goal is to enhance the shopper experience with retail customers by providing valuable and relevant content in real-time based on location. We achieve this goal by providing our customers (such as retailers, brands, and the entertainment industry) with a highly targeted form of mobile marketing engagement. Our platform enables interaction and advertising based on time, location and personalization to create the most effective campaigns and experiences possible, in a way that is not possible without our network. We connect customers to brands in the retail space by increasing individual retail location app usage and driving foot traffic to such individual retail locations. We have deployed our Mobiquity hardware solutions in Simon malls, Macerich malls, GGP malls, Preit malls and Rouse malls in the United States. We are attempting to raise financing to support our operations and to expand our sales and marketing human resource capability to focus on generating revenue over our network. Our sales and marketing team will be seeking to generate revenue over our network through five primary verticals:

 

  Retailers, Brands and Apps relevant to the shopping experience.
     
  ●  Shopping/Coupon related Apps with relevant offers.
     
  ●  Entertainment Apps relevant to the shopper demographic.
     
  ●  Advertising Networks and Exchanges serving location relevant ads.
     
  ●  Data Analytic and Social Media Apps requesting real-time location based signal.

 

We plan to expand on our current footprint into the common areas of other mall operations as well as outside of the malls with additional synergistic venues that will allow for cross marketing opportunities. Such venues include but are not limited to; stadiums, arenas, college campuses, airports and retail chains. The purpose of this type of expansion will be to create a unified network that will allow relevant beacon companies the opportunity to become part of our Mobiquity network. They may find it advantageous to become part of our network, so they will have the ability to drive traffic into their stores. In the future, we may also build a private advertising exchange system that would allow for programmatic buying where advertisers will be given permission to engage with shoppers through our Mobiquity network. Additionally, we plan to add other mobile services and plug-ins such as; loyalty programs, indoor mapping, security and mobile payments.

 

We anticipate continuing to rely on external financing from sales of our common stock to support our operations until cash flow from operations has a positive impact on operations, although no assurances can be given in this regard.

  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table sets forth certain selected unaudited condensed statement of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues. The following discussion relates to our results of operations for the periods noted and is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or any future fiscal year. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance.

We generated revenues of $596,490 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $571,568 in the same period of the prior year. As our mall network has only recently been expanded, at the current time, revenues from the use of our Mobiquity devices are consisted of $11,750 of our consolidated revenues. In future reporting periods, we anticipate our revenues increasing in our Mobiquity Networks subsidiary due to the implementation of our Mobi-Beacons and the data that can be derived therefrom and the expectation that advertisers will begin to utilize our mall network. See “Plan of Operation.”

  

Cost of revenues was $394,065 or 66.1% of revenues in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $430,599 or 75.3% of revenues in the same fiscal period of the prior year. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. The decrease in cost of revenues of $36,534 in 2016 is related to volume and product mix of the products our customers purchased along with the establishment of our Mobiquity devices.

 

Gross profit was $202,425 for the second quarter of 2016 or 33.9% of net revenues compared to $140,969 in the same fiscal period of the prior year or 24.7% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers with low to no profit margin. As advertising revenue from the use of our Mobiquity devices increases, it is expected that our margins will increase significantly. As our mall network has only recently been expanded, at the current time, revenues from the use of our Mobiquity devices are not a material portion of our consolidated revenues.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2,255,983 for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $2,984,393 in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of approximately $728,410. Reduction in such operating costs include payroll, and related expenses, non-cash stock based compensation costs and professional fees.

 

The net operating loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $(2,053,558) as compared to $(2,843,426) for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in operating loss is attributable to the reduction of non-cash stock based compensation, payroll and the related expenses along with reducing professional fees.

 

No benefit for income taxes is provided for in the reported periods due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. Our ability to be profitable in the future is dependent upon the successful introduction and usage of our proximity marketing services.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 versus Six Months Ended 2015

   2016   2015 
Revenue  $1,113,722   $1,086,951 
Cost of Revenues  $862,190   $868,023 
Gross Profit  $251,532   $218,928 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses  $4,870,755   $5,562,500 
(Loss) from Operations  $(4,619,223)  $(5,343,572)

  

We generated revenues of $1,113,722 in the first six months of 2016 compared to $1,086,951 in the same period of the prior year. As our mall network has only recently been constructed and is being expanded, at the current time, revenues from the use of our Mobiquity devices are consisted of $70,932 of our consolidated revenues. In future reporting periods, we anticipate our revenues increasing in our Mobiquity Networks subsidiary due to the implementation of our Mobi-Beacons and the data that can be derived therefrom and the expectation that advertisers will begin to utilize our mall network. See “Plan of Operation.”

  

Cost of revenues was $862,190 or 77.4% of revenues in the first six months of 2016 compared to $868,023 or 79.9% of revenues in the same fiscal period of the prior year. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. The decrease in cost of revenues of $5,833 in 2016 is related to volume and product mix of the products our customers purchased.

 

Gross profit was $251,532 for the first six months of 2016 or 22.6% of net revenues compared to $218,928 in the same fiscal period of the prior year or 20.1% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers with low to no profit margin. As advertising revenue from the use of our Mobiquity devices increases, it is expected that our margins will increase significantly. As our mall network has only recently been expanded, at the current time, revenues from the use of our Mobiquity devices are not a material portion of our consolidated revenues.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $4,870,755 for the first six months of 2016 compared to $5,562,500 in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of approximately $691,745. Such operating cost reductions include payroll and related expenses, professional fees and non-cash stock based compensation.

 

The net operating loss for the first six months of 2016 was $(4,619,223) as compared to $(5,343,572) for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in operating loss is attributable to the focused effort in creating and streamlining the infrastructure required to move forward with the mall network, to provide information technology support.

 

No benefit for income taxes is provided for in the reported periods due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. Our ability to be profitable in the future is dependent upon the successful introduction and usage of our proximity marketing services.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $219,926 at June 30, 2016. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $3,610,632. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $5,850,670 offset by stock based compensation of $349,409, depreciation and amortization of $84,813, decrease in accounts receivable of $93,729 and a decrease in Inventory of $19,807 and an initial derivative expense of $565,780 and a change in derivatives of $756,835, decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $388,890 and an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $162,588. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $173,940 with the purchase of equipment and expansion to the network platform in new and existing mall and other locations. Cash flow from financing activities of $1,980,626 resulted from the proceeds from the issuance of the Company's preferred stock and use of the letter of credit and securing two year promissory notes totaling $1,025,000.

 

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,446,061 at June 30, 2015. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $4,269,034. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $5,520,872, offset by stock based compensation of $955,214, depreciation and amortization of $110,471, decrease in accounts receivable of $147,761 and an increase in Inventory of $20,444, decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $35,796 and a decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $127,116. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $5,221 with the purchase of equipment. Cash flow from financing activities of $4,070,000 resulted from the proceeds from the issuance of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and securing two year promissory notes totaling $1,350,000.

 

Our Company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our Company that have been repaid. Since 1999, we have relied primarily on equity financing from outside investors to supplement our cash flow from operations.

 

We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, hire additional sales persons, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. The primary sources of funding for such requirements will be cash generated from operations, raising additional capital from the sale of equity or other securities and borrowings under debt facilities which currently do not exist. We believe that we can generate sufficient cash flow from these sources to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In the event we should need additional financing, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

Loan Agreements and Related Party Transactions

 

In November 2014, Carl and Mary Ann Berg 2011 CRT Carl Berg Trustee loaned Mobiquity $1 million. In December 2014, Clyde J. Berg 2011 CRT Carl Berg Trustee loaned Mobiquity $1 million. In December 2014, Sherry Berg-Zorn loaned Mobiquity $50,000. An additional $500,000 was loaned in January 2015 by the Clyde J. Berg CRT. In February 2015, Berg & Berg Enterprises loaned $850,000 to Mobiquity. On July 31, 2015, the Company agreed on behalf of the aforementioned debt holders (in anticipation of the $500,000 loan referenced in the next paragraph by Berg & Berg Enterprises) that the principal and accrued interest on these Notes aggregating $3.4 million are now convertible at $.30 per share. Further, for every $1.00 principal and accrued interest thereon converted, the Note Holder will receive a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share. No other securities will be issued to the Note Holders upon conversion of their securities. In August 2015, Berg & Berg Enterprises loaned an additional $500,000 to us and received prepaid interest of 500,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 500,000 shares at $.40 per share through August 31, 2017. The Berg & Berg Enterprise note is convertible at $.30 per share and is repayable at the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the completion of an equity financing of at least $2.5 million. The Note Holder also has the right to elect to convert the $500,000 note into equity securities of our company on the same terms as the last equity transaction completed by us. In August 2015, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Abbruzzese loaned $105,000 to us and received prepaid interest of 105,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 105,000 shares at $.40 per share through August 31, 2017. The Abbruzzese note is convertible at $.30 per share and is repayable at the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the completion of an equity financing of at least $2.5 million. The Note Holder also has the right to elect to convert the $105,000 note into equity securities of our company on the same terms as the last equity transaction completed by us.

 

In September and October 2015, the Company raised an additional $3,070,000 through the issuance of its unsecured debt on the same terms as set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Company issued 3,070,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase a like number of shares as prepaid interest. Of the $3,070,000, Berg & Berg Enterprises invested an additional $500,000. In December 2015, Berg & Berg Enterprises also purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock convertible into 10,000,000 shares of common stock with anti-dilution protection for 2016.

 

In April 2016 through the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company issued and sold 12% unsecured promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,025,000, convertible at $.20 per common share. Upon conversion, the note holders would receive 100% warrant coverage, exercisable at $.20 per common share over a period of five years with cashless exercise provisions. These notes automatically convert in the event at least $5 million is raised in an equity financing. Prior to the mandatory conversion date, note holders have the option to convert the principal and accrued interest also on the same terms as the mandatory conversion and the Company has the option to prepay.

In December 2015, Mr. Arnost extended the due date of the note to December 31, 2016 and the Company agreed to lower the conversion price to $.20 per share. The Company has the right to prepay the note, subject to Mr. Arnost’s right of conversion.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
