REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Members of SharpSpring, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company):
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SharpSpring, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations, members' equity (deficit), and cash flows for year then ended. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SharpSpring, LLC as of December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors and
Members of SharpSpring, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)
Gainesville, FL
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of SharpSpring, LLC (the "Company") as of June 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations, members' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management's financial data and making inquiries of Company management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.
Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company is a cloud-based marketing automation provider offering a comprehensive sales and marketing management solution, allowing businesses to track and optimize every aspect of the sales cycle from lead to close.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized below to assist the reader in reviewing the financial statements contained in this report. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The information included herein as of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less when acquired. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited or managed by major financial institutions and at times are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. As of December 31, 2013, the amount of cash and cash equivalents in excess of FDIC limits was $4,722.
Accounts and unbilled receivables
Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at year-end. Based upon management's assessment of the credit history and current relationships with the customers having outstanding balances, no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
Furniture and equipment
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Furniture and equipment consist principally of office furniture and computers. Accumulated depreciation was $3,536, $1,011, and $2,241, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, and December 31, 2013, respectively. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over 5-7 years. Depreciation expense was $1,295, $1,011, and $2,241 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

Software Development Costs
Costs incurred to develop our cloud-based platform and applications consist of (a) certain external direct costs of materials and services incurred in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software and (b) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to, a given project. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding and testing activities. Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage or costs incurred for data conversion activities, training, maintenance and general and administrative or overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the functions intended and certain functional and quality standards have been met. Capitalized software development costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the technology's estimated useful life of approximately three years. Amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2013, was $23,225, $0 and $11,613, respectively.
Costs incurred during the operating stage of our software applications relating to upgrades and enhancements that are essentially maintenance or do not have a useful life longer than one year are not capitalized. Costs that cannot be separated between maintenance of, and minor upgrades and enhancements to, internal-use software are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company historically derives its revenue primarily from subscription fee revenue related to the use of its hosted software product.
We provide the customer with up front training and consulting, as well as continued support throughout the use of the product. Subscription revenue consists of recurring monthly subscription fees and up front prepayments from customers accessing our cloud-based software platform. The up front prepayments received were generally credited back to the customer over the first year of service and therefore were deferred and recorded as revenue over the same period.
Revenue for monthly subscription fees is recognized starting when the services are first made available to the customers and thereafter on a monthly basis.
The Company recognizes revenue from theses sources when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. This is normally demonstrated when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the fee is fixed or determinable; (iii) performance of service has been delivered; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
The Company makes estimates for refunds and credit card chargebacks based on historical experience. For the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not record any refunds or credit card chargebacks.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014, the Company had no cash balances at financial institutions exceeding the federally insured limits.
For the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.
Cost of Services
Cost of services consists primarily of the direct labor costs and contractors related to onboarding customers, supporting customers and hosting the Company's product.
Credit Card Processing Fees
Credit card processing fees are included as a component of general and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred.

Advertising costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2013, was $3,414, $16,527, and $18,076, respectively.
Research and Development costs
Research and development cost are charged to expenses when incurred and include contracted services, salaries and related cost of personnel engaged in research and development activities.
Government Grant
The Company was awarded an employment grant which provides a monthly reimbursement of up to 50% of the initial annual salary of qualified new employees. The reimbursements earned by the Company were $87,425, $80,283, and $41,934 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The reimbursements are presented as an offset to operating expenses in the statements of operations.
Income taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code through June 30, 2014. Under those provisions, the Company does not generally pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the members are liable for individual income taxes on their respective share of the Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no tax provision is recognized in the accompanying financial statements. There are no significant differences between the tax and financial basis of assets and liabilities.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company's income tax returns since inception are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may changes upon examination.
The Company has reviewed and evaluated the relevant technical merits of each of its tax positions in accordance with GAAP for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Effects of recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)), which requires an entity to recognize revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance addresses in particular contracts with more than one performance obligation as well as the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. With respect to nonpublic entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. We have not made an assessment of this guidance or if it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Note 3: Members' Equity (Deficit)
Members are entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of the members, regardless of class. Any membership interest held by a member subject to bankruptcy has no voting rights and the member holding that membership interest shall be deemed not to own that membership interest for purpose of exercising voting rights or any other rights but shall have a right to receive distributions. If a member is eligible to vote on any given matter, that member is entitled to one vote for each membership interest outstanding and issued to him on the books of the Company as of the date of the vote. The number of Managers constituting the Board of Managers consist of three Class A managers and two Class B managers. Class B managers are elected by the majority of owners of the Class B unit holders.
Profits and losses allocated pro rata among members in proportion to their share of units held. Class C Unit holders, however, hold a liquidation preference of $3.25 per unit and profits shall be allocated to Class C unit holders until each holders capital account is equal to the liquidation preference.
F-10
SHARPSPRING, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company operating agreement provides for the issuance of Class B profits interest units. The holders of such profits interests will only participate in distributions in connection with any Capital Transaction after such time as the distributions to the other members have received an amount equal to the fair market value of the Company property on the date of issuance. The holders of such profits interest shall not be entitled to participate in any distributions whatsoever unless such distributions are attributable to income earned by the Company after issuance of such profits interest and appreciation above the hurdle amount associated with such profits interest.
For incentive purposes, the Company agreed to compensate an employee in addition to their base salary with Class B units beginning November 1, 2012. On a monthly basis, the employee shall earn a total of 20,000 Class B Units over a two year period. For each period ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, the employee earned 4,997 units and the Company recorded compensation expense of $4,997. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the employee earned 9,996 units and the Company recorded compensation expense of $9,996.
Note 4: Related Party Transactions
There were no related party transactions for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, or the year ended December 31, 2013.
Note 5: Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of a note payable to a not for profit organization bearing interest at 4.125%. Principal and accrued interest are due in full in November 2017. The outstanding balance was $300,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. This loan was paid off in August 2014.
Note 6: Unit Based Compensation Options
The Company issued options under individual unit option agreements for Class B units. The maximum term of the unit options is ten (10) years which vest in accordance with the terms set forth in the individual agreements, generally two to three years. Based on recent equity transactions, the Company has determined the per unit exercise price exceeds the fair market value. As of June 30, 2014, options for 22,826 units were outstanding. There are no options outstanding at December 31, 2013.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of unit options at grant date. This valuation model uses the option exercise price as well as estimates and assumptions related to the expected price volatility of the Company's membership interests, the rate of return on risk-free investments, the expected period during which the options will be outstanding, and the expected yield for the Company's membership interests to estimate the fair value of a unit option at the date of grant. The valuation assumptions were determined as follows:
· | Expected stock price volatility: There is no active market for the Company's membership interests providing a basis to estimate the expected volatility of the Company's membership interest prices for the purpose of valuing unit options granted. Alternatively, the Company uses the historical volatility of certain publicly traded companies that represents the primary industry sector within which the Company operates. |
|
|
· | Risk-free interest rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period that is commensurate with the assumed expected unit option term. |
|
|
· | Expected term of options: The expected term is based on an estimate of the amount of time before the Company experiences a change of control as defined in the Plan. Given there is no significant incentive for employees to exercise unit options prior to the change of control, the Company assumes the expected change of control will be the best estimate of the options life. |
|
|
· | Expected annual dividends: The estimate for annual dividends is $0 because the Company has not historically paid and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. |
Membership interest-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The period expense is determined based on the valuation of the unit options reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate of 50%. The Company's estimate of pre-vesting forfeitures is primarily based on expected turnover at the Company and may be adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures.

Note 7: Profits Interests
The Company issued 150,000 Class B profits interest units to an employee during 2013. The Company did not issue any profit interest during the period ended June 30, 2014. There are no requisite service periods or any other substantive conditions including those related to vesting related to the issuance of these profits interests.
The Class B profits interest units may have a vesting commencement date (if applicable) and a hurdle amount. A Class B profits interest unit is a membership interest that is limited to income earned after issuance of such interest and the increase in the value of the Company above the value of the Company at the time of the issuance of such interest, and with the intention that such interest qualify as "profits interest" by the IRS. The hurdle amount shall be equal to the fair market value of a profits interest on a per profits interest basis, or such greater amount as determined by the Board at the time of issuance. The vesting schedule, if any, for any profits interest shall be as set forth in a separate agreement between the Company and the holder of a profits interest. A profits interest shall not participate in any distributions to the extent that the amount being distributed is attributable to the gross asset value, as of the time such profits interest was granted, of any assets held by the Company at the time such profits interest was granted, and such distributions would be in excess of the economic capital account associated with such profits interest. The holder of a profits interest, whether or not vested, shall be treated as a partner of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Only vested (and not previously forfeited) membership interests shall participate in any distributions (other than distributions made by the Company in respect to tax obligations).
There is a hurdle amount for the Class B profits interest units associated with such unit on the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of Class B profits interest units at grant date. This valuation model uses the hurdle amount as well as estimates and assumptions related to the expected price volatility of the membership interests, the rate of return on risk-free investments, the expected period during which the Class B profits interest units will be outstanding, and the fair value of the membership interests at the date of grant. The valuation assumptions were determined as follows:
| · | Expected stock price volatility: There is no active market for the Company's membership interests providing a basis to estimate the expected volatility of the Company's membership interests prices for the purpose of valuing profits interests granted. Alternatively, the Company uses the historical volatility of certain publicly traded companies that represent the Company. |
|
|
|
| · | Risk-free interest rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period that is commensurate with the assumed expected term. |
|

|
| · | Expected term of profits interests: The expected term is based on an estimate of the amount of time before the Company experiences a change of control as defined in the Plan. Given there is no significant incentive for employees to exercise unit options prior to the change of control, the Company assumes the expected change of control will be the best estimate of the options life. |
