Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.      General

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

2.      Change in Controlled Company Status

 

Prior to the merger between the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Zone Acquisition, Inc. (“Zone Acquisition”), and Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone”), as described below, the Company was a controlled company as defined by Rule 5615(c)(1) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules because Helios and Matheson Information Technology Ltd., the former parent (referred to in this report as “HMIT”), was the beneficial owner of approximately 75% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Upon consummation of the merger on November 9, 2016, the Company ceased to be a controlled company under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(c)(1).

 

3.      Merger with Zone Technologies, Inc.

 

On November 9, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 7, 2016, among the Company, Zone and Zone Acquisition, as amended by the Waiver and First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 25, 2016 and the Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Condition and Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 21, 2016 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”).

 

On the Closing Date, the Company issued 1,740,000 shares of its common stock as merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which represented an exchange ratio of 0.174 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Zone common stock outstanding, and Zone Acquisition, the wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged into Zone, with Zone surviving the merger as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Zone is the developer of the proprietary RedZone Map™, a GPS-driven, real-time crime and navigation map application whose goal is to enhance personal safety worldwide by providing users with real-time crime data and a platform for alerting other users to criminal and other safety related occurrences in a navigation map format. Zone’s mapping lets users be pro-active when traveling, allowing them to enter a number of different cautionary items such as traffic problems, police sightings, road hazards, accidents and road closures. It also allows users to report a crime and to video upload live incidents.

 

Zone’s business model has four components. The first component is providing user access to public safety information. Zone’s goal is to enhance the personal safety of its users by providing crime data to anyone using a mobile or stationary mapping application for navigation. Zone also provides tools for examining such things as neighborhoods for possible relocation, schools to attend, travel planning and lodging selection. The second component, when implemented, will provide enterprise business solutions, such as choosing a route for trucking and delivery services based on crime mapping analytics. The third component, when implemented, will be geared towards providing law enforcement agencies with tools to better understand crime patterns and to engage with their jurisdictions more meaningfully. The fourth component, when implemented, will be to work with governmental agencies using advanced mapping and geo-fencing for counter-terrorism efforts.

 

While RedZone Map is a fully functioning app available for free in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, the Company has not yet derived any advertising revenues from the app.

4.      Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On August 15, 2017 the Company and MoviePass Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation (“MoviePass”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “MoviePass SPA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase shares of common stock of MoviePass equal to fifty one percent of the then outstanding shares of MoviePass’ common stock (the “MoviePass Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $27,000,000 which is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the MoviePass SPA. MoviePass is a subscription-based service that allows moviegoers to see a number of movies in movie theaters for a monthly fee.

 

At the closing of the MoviePass transaction, in exchange for the MoviePass Shares, the Company will issue to MoviePass (i) 3,333,334 unregistered shares of HMNY’s common stock for a total agreed upon value of approximately $10,000,000; and (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000,000. Of the Company’s common shares being offered, 666,667 shares shall be subject to forfeiture by MoviePass if MoviePass fails to achieve either of the following two milestones within the specified time frame: (A) within one year after the closing, subscribers to MoviePass’ MoviePass product shall have exceeded on at least one day 100,000 subscribers, and (B) MoviePass’ common stock shall have been listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) or New York Stock Exchange by January 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2017, the MoviePass transaction had not been completed.

 

On October 6, 2017, the Company and MoviePass amended the MoviePass SPA in connection with an additional loan made by the Company to MoviePass in the amount of $6,500,000. Of the loan amount, $1,500,000 will be allocated, upon the completion of the transaction, to the purchase of additional shares of MoviePass common stock, thereby increasing the purchase price from $27,000,000 to $28,500,000.

 

On October 11, 2017, the Company and MoviePass entered into an investment option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company was granted an option to purchase additional shares of MoviePass common stock in an amount up to $20 million based on a pre-money valuation of MoviePass of $210,000,000 (the “MoviePass Option”) amounting to an additional investment of up to 8.7% of the currently outstanding shares of MoviePass common stock (as defined in the MoviePass Option Agreement), giving effect to the closing of the transaction. The MoviePass Option may be exercised by the Company until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the thirtieth day after the Company receives MoviePass’ audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the reviewed unaudited interim financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company was granted a non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive right and license (a) to integrate the licensed software with the Company’s RedZone Map family of products, applications, and services (the “RedZone Apps”) to create integrated service offerings that integrate and/or incorporate the licensed software with the RedZone Apps (the “Integrated Offerings”); (b) to commercialize, distribute, and sell the Integrated Offerings to customers worldwide; (c) to use the licensed software internally to create a non-commercial lab/testing environment; and (d) to use the licensed software to provide maintenance and support services to customers of the Integrated Offerings. In consideration of the license, the Company is required to pay the Licensor a one-time license fee of $80,000 for up to 1.6 million end-user licenses. In addition, in the event that the Company exceeds 1.6 million users of the Integrated Offerings, it will be required to pay the Licensor an additional one-time license fee of $20,000 for up to an aggregate of 20 million end-user licenses; in the event that the Company exceeds 20 million users of the Integrated Offerings, it will be required to pay the Licensor an additional one-time license fee of $1,000,000 for up to an aggregate of 100 million end-user licenses; and in the event the Company exceeds 100 million users of the Integrated Offerings, it will negotiate with the Licensor the additional compensation to be paid to the Licensor.

 

Of the total $80,000 due in initial one-time license fees, $40,000 has been paid and was recorded to Research and Development Expense for the period ended September 30, 2017.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Licensor agreed to not license, sell or transfer the licensed software to any third party that wishes to integrate the licensed software with applications that compete with the Company’s Integrated Offerings relating to crime and terrorism mapping applications.

 

The Agreement has an initial term of 5 years and shall be automatically renewed for additional one-year terms unless either party gives the other party 60 days advanced notice of termination prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Except for termination of the Agreement by the Licensor for breach by the Company, notwithstanding any termination or expiration of the Agreement, (i) the license shall remain in effect; and (ii) the Company shall have the right to order and the Licensor shall have the obligation to provide annual support services at the price set forth in the Agreement for up to 5 years from the effective date of termination. The Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party (i) if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and continues in such breach for 30 days after receiving notice from the non-breaching party; or (ii) for a period of 90 consecutive days, the other party is declared to be insolvent or is the subject of bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, or has a receiver, judicial administrator or similar officer appointed over all or any material part of its assets, or any security holder or encumbrance lawfully takes possession of any property of or in possession of the other party, or if the other party ceases to carry on its business.

 

6.      Acquisition of Assets from Trendit Ltd.

 

On May 25, 2017, Zone completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Trendit Ltd. (“Trendit”), an Israel-based technology company, including certain patented technology, for cash compensation of $195,143. Zone plans to integrate the patented technology with the Redzone Map app, in order to enable the app to track and analyze real-time crowd behavior, migration and trends. The patented technology predicts population behavior, along with population size, origin and destination, with an accuracy rate of 85%-90%, and tracks demographic segmentation of a population using a population sample of 15%, together with anonymous cellular signals and demographic big data.

 

The technology acquired collects data from regular cellphone activity, which it tracks and compares with extensive social/economic databases. Zone plans to use this patented, highly-sophisticated analytical technology to alert RedZone Map app users of potential threats to their personal safety and to inform law enforcement and government officials of the location and migration patterns of known criminal or terrorist individuals and groups.

 

7.      Going Concern Analysis

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other big data technology and technology consulting companies, including its dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and successful protection of intellectual property, and the Company’s susceptibility to infringement on the proprietary rights of others. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the Company’s development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and as of September 30, 2017, had an accumulated deficit of $98,593,770, a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $43,460,218 and $55,179,589, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $7,644,296, and net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $39,578.

(Unaudited)

 

The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and a working capital deficit of $1,663,879 and $33,867,870 respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company used cash from operations of $7,644,296. Of the working capital deficit, $38,622,880 pertained to warrant and derivative liabilities classified on the balance sheet within short term liabilities. Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. While management plans to raise additional capital from sources such as sales of its debt or equity securities or loans in order to meet operating cash requirements, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. Having said this, the Company secured financing of $100,000,000 on November 7, 2017 which the Company can use for the MoviePass transaction and for general corporate purposes.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

8.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances. The Company performs the annual assessment on December 31.

 

In accordance with ASC 350–20 “Goodwill”, the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two–step goodwill impairment test. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform the two–step impairment test for that reporting unit.

 

There were no impairment charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Consulting revenues are recognized as services are provided. The Company primarily provides consulting services under time and material contracts, whereby revenue is recognized as hours and costs are incurred. Clients for consulting revenues are billed on a weekly or monthly basis. Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. Any anticipated contract losses are estimated and accrued at the time they become known and estimable. Unbilled accounts receivables represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings. Revenue from sales of software licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software to a customer because future obligations associated with such revenue are insignificant.

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company uses the fair value method as specified by the FASB, whereby compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures as originally issued.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore the inputs are developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions that the Company expects a market participant would use.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s short-term investments, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

The derivative liability in connection with the conversion feature of the Company’s convertible debt and warrants is classified as a level 3 liability, and is the only financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Net Income/(Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangements, stock options or warrants.

 

The following table shows the outstanding dilutive common shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive:

Warrants   2,401,236    70,714

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard’s core principle (issued as Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-09 by the FASB), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is in the process of performing an initial review of custom contracts to determine the impact that ASU 2014-09 and its subsequent updates through December 31, 2017 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the overall impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as well as the expected timing and method of adoption. The Company has established an implementation team, including external advisers, and has commenced the review of the Company’s revenue portfolio and related contracts. Discussions regarding changes to the Company’s current accounting policies and practices remain ongoing and preliminary conclusions are subject to change.

 

Upon adoption, the Company will recognize revenue from contracts with customers as each performance obligation is satisfied, either at a point in time or over a period of time, based on when control transfers to customers. The Company plans to adopt the new revenue recognition standard under the modified retrospective transition method by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the standard as an adjustment to the Company’s Balance Sheet. Until the Company completes testing of the new revenue recognition system, the Company does not anticipate being able to provide the impact of the new standard on the Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations however from the initial review and assessment of a sample of contracts with customers the Company does not anticipate the new accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

During January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“ASU 2016-01”). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted with the exception of certain provisions related to the presentation of other comprehensive income.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, (“ASC 842”), which supersedes FASB ASC 840, Leases and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, (“ASU 2016-12”). The amendments in ASU 2016-12 provide clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and add some practical expedients. Specifically, the amendments in this update (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion in step 1, and provides additional clarification for when to recognize revenue for a contract that fails step 1, (2) permit an entity, as an accounting policy election, to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price, (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception, and clarifies that the variable consideration guidance applies only to variability resulting from reasons other than the form of the consideration, (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application. Further, accounting for elements of a contract that do not affect revenue under legacy GAAP are irrelevant to the assessment of whether a contract is complete. In addition, the amendments permit an entity to apply the modified retrospective transition method either to all contracts or only to contracts that are not completed contracts, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in ASC 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. However, an entity is still required to disclose the effect of the changes on any prior periods retrospectively adjusted. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASC 606. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. As stated above, the Company is in the process of performing an initial review of customer contracts to determine the impact that ASU 2014-09 and its subsequent updates through December 31, 2017 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures upon adoption. Until the Company completes testing of the new revenue recognition system, the Company does not anticipate being able to provide the impact of the new standard on the Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations however from the initial review and assessment of a sample of contracts with customers the Company does not anticipate the new accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (“ASC 230”): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory, which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-16 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (“ASC 230”), requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-18 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASU No. 2017-11 is intended to simplify the accounting for financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Among the issues addressed are: (i) determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock; (ii) distinguishing liabilities from equity for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities; and (iii) identifying mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. ASU No. 2017-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2017-11 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants

 

On September 7, 2016, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“September 2016 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,301,075 for consideration consisting of (i) a cash payment by an institutional investor (the “Investor”) in the amount of $1,000,000 together with a secured promissory note payable by the Investor to the Company (the “Investor Note”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000 to finance a portion of the purchase price, fees and expenses for the direct or indirect acquisition of Zone. The September 2016 Notes had a maturity date of December 7, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the Investor had made the following prepayments of the Investor Note: $1,000,000 on October 25, 2016; $1,100,000 on November 16, 2016; and $900,000 on December 2, 2016. As of January 23, 2017, the Investor had accepted a total of 887,707 shares of the Company’s common stock in full payment of the September 2016 Notes. On any principal balance owed by the Company to the Investor, a 6% interest obligation was due quarterly and calculated on a 360 day basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had interest expense of $0 and $1,217 related to the September 2016 Notes as the final principal balance was converted in January of 2017.

 

On December 2, 2016, the Company issued two Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “December 2016 Notes”) to the Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $6,720,000 for consideration consisting of (i) a cash payment by the Investor in the amount of $1,100,000 and (ii) a secured promissory note payable by the Investor to the Company (the “December 2016 Investor Note”) in the principal amount of $4,900,000 to aid in the funding of Zone. prior to the entity’s ability to generate revenues. The December 2016 Notes have a maturity date of August 2, 2017 which was subsequently amended to October 8, 2017. At any time, the Investor may and, so long as certain equity conditions are met, the Company may require the Investor to convert the December 2016 Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”). On September 19, 2017 (the “Exchange Date”) the Company and the Investor entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the Company exercised its Mandatory Conversion right as to $890,000 of the December 2016 Notes in exchange for 445,367 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Investor prepaid $670,000 of the December 2016 Investor Note, which represented the entire unpaid principal amount of the December 2016 Investor Note.

The maturity date of any New Note will be 45 days following the issuance of the New Note, and the conversion price of the New Notes will be $4.50 or, at the election of the Investor, the Investor may convert at the Alternate Conversion Price. The Alternate Conversion Price is defined as either (A) the lower of (i) $4.50 and (ii) the greater of (I) $4.00 and (II) 85% of the quotient of (x) the sum of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for each of the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the Conversion Notice, divided by (y) 5 or (B) that price which shall be the lowest of (i) $3.00 and (ii) the greater of (I) the Floor Price then in effect and (II) 85% of the quotient of (x) the sum of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for each of the 5 consecutive trading days ending and including the date of the alternate conversion, divided by (y) 5. The Floor Price is defined as $3.00 through October 4, 2017 and $0.50 following October 4, 2017.

 

On August 16, 2017, the Company issued three Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “August 2017 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $10,300,000 and a 5-year warrant for the purchase of 1,892,972 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share (the “Investor Warrant”) to the Investor for consideration consisting of a secured promissory note payable by the Investor to the Company (the “August 2017 Investor Note”) in the principal amount of $8,800,000 and $220,000 in cash to aid in the funding of the acquisition of the MoviePass Shares. The August 2017 Notes have a maturity date of April 16, 2018 and the Investor Warrant will expire on April 16, 2022. At any time the Investor may and, so long as certain equity conditions are met, the Company may require the Investor to, convert the August 2017 Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”). At September 30, 2017, the contracted conversion prices for the August 2017 Notes, which include an Initial Series A Note, an Additional Series A Note and the Series B Note, were $4.00 for the Initial Series A Note and the Additional Series A Note and $3.00 for the Series B Note. In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, the conversion will be made at the Mandatory Conversion Price which is defined as that price which is the lower of (i) the applicable Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable Mandatory Conversion date, and (ii) 80% of the sum of (A) the volume weighted average price of the common stock for each of the 3 trading days with the lowest volume weighted average price during the 20-consecutive trading day period ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to the applicable Mandatory Conversion date divided by (B) 3. As of September 30, 2017, the Investor had paid $1,830,000 of the August 2017 Investor Note with the balance of the principal amount payable in full to the Company on April 16, 2018. As of September 30, 2017, the unpaid principal amount of the August 2017 Notes owed to the Investor was $6,970,000 which was offset by the same principal amount owed to the Company pursuant to the August 2017 Investor Note. As of September 30, 2017 the Investor had not converted any of the August 2017 Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock nor had the Investor Warrant been exercised. On any principal balance owed by the Company to the Investor, a 6% interest obligation is due quarterly and calculated on a 360-day basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had $67,875 and $67,875, respectively, of interest expense pertaining to the unpaid principal amount of the August 2017 Notes.

 

The Investor Warrant contains anti-dilution provisions. These anti-dilution provisions were triggered when the Company issued the September 2017 Note in the principal amount of $697,000 to the Investor. Because the September 2017 Note has a conversion price of $3.00 per share, which is lower than the Investor Warrant per share exercise price of $3.25, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable to the Investor pursuant to the Investor Warrant was increased from 1,892,972 to 2,050,720 and the per share exercise price of the Investor Warrant was decreased from $3.25 to $3.00.

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out of all financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

 

   Amount 
Balance at December 31, 2016  $1,207,792 
Purchases, issuances and settlements   14,626,338 
Conversions to paid in capital   (4,674,682)
Extinguishment of December Convertible Note   (9,890)
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities   17,038,711 
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities   10,434,611 
Balance at September 30, 2017  $38,662,880 

 

The fair value of the derivative conversion features and warrant liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were calculated using a Monte-Carlo option model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   September 30, 2017  December 31, 2016 
   Amount  Amount 
Dividend Yield      0%         0%    
Expected Volatility  50%   - 

270%

  154%   -  230%
Risk free interest rate  0.96%   -  1.92%  0.82%   -  1.12%
Contractual term (in years)  0.05   -  5.00  0.67   -  5.00 
Exercise price  $3.00   -  9.36  $4.00   -  $9.36 

 

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input (probability of a down round event) used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change in the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood or in the volatility assumptions would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The Board of Directors adopted the amendment on August 10, 2017 reserving a total of 1,125,000 shares of common stock for issuance from the 2014 Plan. Of that number, a total of 885,000 shares of common stock remain available for issuance.

Legal Proceeding:

 

On August 24, 2016, 3839 Holdings LLC (“3839 Holdings”) filed a summons and complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Theodore Farnsworth (“Mr. Farnsworth”), Highland Holdings Group, Inc. (“HHGI”) and Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone”), collectively referred to as the “Zone Defendants”. The claims arise out of 3839 Holdings’ purchase of a 10% interest in HHGI and an unsuccessful real estate investment. The Complaint asserted claims for: (i) breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and breach of fiduciary duty against Mr. Farnsworth and HHGI; (ii) unjust enrichment against Mr. Farnsworth and Zone; (iii) fraudulent conveyance against all of the Zone Defendants; and (iv) alter ego liability against Mr. Farnsworth for HHGI’s obligations. The suit also sought, as part of any final relief it may obtain after trial, an injunction against the merger between Zone and the Company, along with an award of attorneys’ fees. On or about December 7, 2016, 3839 Holdings amended the complaint to add the Company as a defendant, alleging claims against the Company for unjust enrichment, fraudulent conveyance, aiding and abetting a fraudulent conveyance, tortious interference with contract, permanent injunction and attorneys’ fees and cost. 3839 Holdings seeks compensation from the Company and the Zone Defendants in an amount of no less than $3,000,000 plus prejudgment interest, attorney’s fees and costs and expenses. 3839 Holdings is also seeking an injunction to prevent the Company and the Zone Defendants from transferring or disposing of assets. The Company and Zone believe that the claims are baseless and intend to vigorously defend the action.

 

18.      Transactions with Related Parties

 

Transactions with Helios and Matheson Information Technology Ltd. (“HMIT”)

 

In September 2010, the Company entered into an amendment of a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with its former parent, HMIT, which was subsequently amended on August 2013. Pursuant to the MOU, HMIT agreed to make available to the Company facilities of dedicated Off-shore Development Centers (“ODCs”) and also render services by way of support in technology, client engagement, and management and operation of the ODCs for the Company. The Company furnished HMIT with a security deposit of $2,000,000 to cover any expenses, claims or damages that HMIT may have incurred while discharging its obligations under the MOU and also to cover the Company’s payable to HMIT. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a receivable from HMIT in the amount of $182,626 which represents amounts paid on behalf of HMIT, for which the Company fully reserved.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a Professional Service Agreement with HMIT (the “PSA”), which documented ongoing services provided by HMIT from February 24, 2014. Pursuant to the PSA, HMIT hired employees in India and provided infrastructure services for those employees to facilitate the operations of those of the Company’s clients who needed offshore support for their businesses. For the services the Company paid the costs incurred by HMIT for the employees it hired to provide the services and a fixed fee for infrastructure support. Beginning October 2014, all employees were transferred to the payroll of the Company’s subsidiary, Helios and Matheson Global Services Pvt. Ltd., and HMIT was paid only for the infrastructure support it provided until August 2015. Beginning September 2015, Helios and Matheson Global Services Pvt. Ltd. leased an office and took over infrastructure support from HMIT. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company did not have any revenue from services provided with offshore support of HMIT.

 

HMIT ceased providing services under the MOU and PSA during the third quarter of 2015. The Company ensured continued uninterrupted services to its clients by taking on infrastructure costs relating to the lease and employees.

The Company determined to provide for a reserve in its September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 financial statements in the amount of $2,300,000 (the “Reserve Amount”) due to an uncertainty relating to the ability of HMIT to (i) return the security deposit held by HMIT in connection with the MOU and (ii) pay approximately $344,000 in reimbursable expenses and advances pursuant to the PSA.

 

On January 21, 2016, HMIT became subject to a liquidation order by an Indian court resulting from creditors’ claims against HMIT. On February 15, 2016, the High Court of Judicature at Madras (Civil Appellate Jurisdiction) issued an order of interim stay of the liquidation order. HMIT continues to await a decision from the High Court of Judicature relating to this matter. If HMIT becomes subject to liquidation, the Company would likely not be able to collect the full amount of $2,300,000 reserved in its September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 financial statements.

 

Maruthi Consulting Inc. (Subsidiary of HMIT)

 

The Company provided consulting services to Maruthi Consulting Inc., a subsidiary of HMIT. As of January 1, 2015, the Company had a receivable due from Maruthi in the amount of $75,338 and during 2015 the Company billed an additional $223,454 to Maruthi for services rendered.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These are statements regarding financial and operating performance results and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important risks, including those discussed in the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 which have been incorporated into this report by reference, could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of these risks include, among other things:

 

  our capital requirements and whether or not we will be able to raise capital when we need it;
     
  our ability to retain our existing clients and expand our client engagements;
     
  changes in local, state or federal regulations that will adversely affect our business;

 

  our ability to sell our products and services;

 

  whether we will continue to receive the services of certain officers and directors;

 

  our ability to integrate the operations of Zone Technologies, Inc. into our operations and our ability to successfully develop the RedZone Map™ application;
     
  risks related to the acquisition of a majority stake in MoviePass Inc., which risks are discussed more fully in Part II, Item 1A of this report;
     
  our ability to effectively react to other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as fluctuation of quarterly financial results, reliance on third party consultants, litigation or other proceedings and stock price volatility;

 

  our ability to protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others; and

 

  other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

 

We do not intend to update forward-looking statements. You should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The following discussion and analysis of significant factors affecting the Company’s operating results and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

 

Overview

 

Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a wide range of high quality information technology (“IT”) consulting solutions, custom application development and analytics services to Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations. The Company is headquartered in New York, New York and has a subsidiary in Bangalore, India.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 100% of the Company’s revenue was generated by its consulting segment. Approximately 86% and 88% of the Company’s consulting service revenues were generated from clients under time and materials engagements, as compared to approximately 88% and 89% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, with the remaining revenue generated under fixed-price engagements. The Company has established standard-billing guidelines for consulting services based on the type of service offered. Actual billing rates are established on a project-by-project basis and may vary from the standard guidelines. The Company typically bills its clients for time and material services on a weekly and monthly basis. Arrangements for fixed-price engagements are made on a case-by-case basis. Consulting service revenues generated under time and material engagements are recognized as those services are provided. Revenues earned from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs.

 

 23 

 

 

 

The Company’s most significant operating cost is its personnel cost, which is included in cost of revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gross margin was 21.4% and 34.3% respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gross margin was 19.7% and 30.1%, respectively.

 

The Company actively manages its personnel utilization rates by monitoring project requirements and timetables. The Company’s utilization rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately 97% and 96% respectively, as compared to 98% and 96% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. As projects are completed, consultants are either re-deployed to new projects at the current client site, assigned to new projects at another client site, or are encouraged to participate in the Company’s training programs in order to expand their technical skill sets.

 

In past years, cash flows from operations combined with cash on hand generally provided adequate funding for our working capital obligations. However, our commitment to assist with the financing of MoviePass Inc. (“MoviePass”) in advance of our planned acquisition of a majority stake in MoviePass together with the merger with Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone”) and the development of the RedZone Map app resulted in an increase in legal, accounting and other expenses. This increase in expenses required that we obtain financing. To that end, we issued and sold Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to an institutional investor (the “Investor”) in exchange for cash and promissory notes issued by the Investor. As of September 30, 2017, we had raised a total of approximately $27.7 million of gross principal through these offerings. Of the total amount raised, as of September 30, 2017 we had received approximately $17.1 million in loan proceeds. We currently have outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Notes totaling $10,300,000 that have a maturity date of April 16, 2018 and on November 7, 2017 we issued a new series of senior convertible notes to institutional investors in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are not yet receiving revenues from the RedZone Map app and, to date, we have provided loans to MoviePass in the amount of $15,250,000. We are uncertain if either Zone’s operations or, assuming the completion of our transaction with MoviePass, the operations of MoviePass, will ever be profitable. Therefore, until our operations are profitable, which we cannot guarantee will ever occur, even in light of our most recent financing, we will continue to seek financing through the issuance of equity securities, debt securities or a combination of the two. Except as discussed in this report, we have no committed source of financing. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain the financing we need or, if we are able to find financing, we cannot be certain that the financing will be available on acceptable terms. To the extent we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders will likely experience significant dilution. Any additional debt financing, if available, may also cause significant dilution to our existing shareholders and may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct business. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when we need it, the impact on our operations could be material and adverse and could result in the Company severely curtailing, or even ceasing, its operations.

 

Our operational costs include employee salaries and benefits, compensation paid to consultants and costs associated with ongoing training and development activities for our staff, and include travel and administration expenses, legal expenses, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses, and other costs, including those related to the development of the RedZone Map app.

 

The amount that we spend for any specific purpose may vary significantly from period to period and could depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of progress of our commercialization and development efforts relating to the RedZone Map app, market conditions and changes in or revisions to our marketing strategies. Assuming that we complete the acquisition of a majority stake in MoviePass, we expect to incur significant legal, accounting and financing costs related to the acquisition.

 

While RedZone Map is a fully functioning app available for free in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, we have not yet derived any advertising revenues from the app and we are uncertain when we will begin to derive revenues from the app.

Recent Developments

 

Securities Purchase Agreement with MoviePass Inc.

 

On August 15, 2017 the Company and MoviePass entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “MoviePass SPA”) pursuant to which we agreed to purchase shares of the common stock of MoviePass equal to 51% of the then outstanding shares of MoviePass’ common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $27,000,000, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the MoviePass SPA. MoviePass is a subscription-based service that allows moviegoers to see a number of movies in movie theaters for a monthly fee. We agreed to loan MoviePass $4,950,000 in cash in exchange for a subordinated convertible promissory note (the “MoviePass Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000,000, which included an additional $50,000 that was advanced by the Company to MoviePass prior to August 15, 2017. We incorporate by reference into this report the information included at Item 1.01 under the heading MoviePass Transaction of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 15, 2017.

 

Amendment to MoviePass Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On October 6, 2017, we made an additional loan to MoviePass in the amount of $6,500,000 (the “Additional Loan”) and the parties increased the principal amount of the MoviePass Note from $5,000,000 to $11,500,000.

 

The Additional Loan was comprised of two components: (i) an advance of $5,000,000 to MoviePass that would have otherwise been due within 90 days following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the MoviePass SPA and (ii) an additional investment of $1,500,000 to purchase additional shares of common stock of MoviePass amounting to 0.71% of the outstanding shares of common stock of MoviePass.

 

As a result of the additional investment, the maximum purchase price payable by us increased from $27,000,000 to $28,500,000. Upon the closing of the transaction, we will receive shares of common stock of MoviePass totaling 51.71% of the then-outstanding shares of MoviePass common stock, in addition to shares of MoviePass common stock issuable upon conversion of the Kelly Note (as defined in the MoviePass Agreement) amounting to 2% of the outstanding shares of MoviePass common stock on a post-transaction basis, for a total ownership percentage of 53.71%.

 

We incorporate by reference into this report the information included at Item 1.01 under the heading Amendment to MoviePass Securities Purchase Agreement of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 11, 2017.

 

MoviePass Investment Option Agreement

 

On October 11, 2017, we and MoviePass entered into an investment option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which we were granted an option to purchase additional shares of MoviePass common stock in an amount up to $20 million based on a pre-money valuation of MoviePass of $210,000,000 (the “Option”) amounting to an additional investment of up to 8.7% of the Currently Outstanding Shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Option Agreement). The Option may be exercised until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the thirtieth day after we receive MoviePass’ audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the reviewed unaudited interim financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

On each of November 2, 2017 and November 7, 2017, the Company exercised a portion of the Option for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. In connection with the option exercises, MoviePass issued to the Company subordinated convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $750,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.

 

We incorporate by reference into this report the information included at Item 1.01 under the heading MoviePass Investment Option Agreement of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 11, 2017.

 

Sale of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On August 15, 2017, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and the Investor, we agreed to sell and issue (1) Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “August 2017 Notes”) to the Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $10,300,000 and (2) a warrant to purchase 1,892,972 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.25 per share.

We incorporate by reference into this report the information included at Item 1.01 under the heading Sale of Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 15, 2017.

 

Letter Agreement Regarding Conversion of the February Additional Note

 

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 10, 2017, we reported that we issued senior secured convertible notes (the “February 2017 Notes”) to the Investor for consideration consisting of a promissory note issued by the Investor to the Company in the amount of $5,000,000.

 

On August 27, 2017, we and the Investor executed a letter agreement pursuant to which the Investor agreed to immediately convert all outstanding principal remaining under the February 2017 Notes in the amount of $2,500,000, plus all accrued unpaid interest thereon, at the alternate conversion price which equaled $3.00 per share.

 

In consideration of the immediate conversion of the February 2017 Notes we granted to the Investor the right (the “Investor Exchange Right”), at one or more times until December 31, 2017, to effect an exchange (the “Share Exchange”) of an aggregate 841,250 shares of our common stock for one or more senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “New Note”), with the right to substitute the alternate conversion price of the New Note with the alternate conversion price of the Company’s Series B Senior Secured Convertible Note that was issued on August 16, 2017 as one of the August 2017 Notes. Any New Note issued would be in the principal amount equal to the product of the prepayment amount ($2,500,000) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the aggregate shares being tendered to the Company in the Share Exchange and the denominator of which is 841,250.

 

On October 13, 2017, the Investor exchanged 100,000 shares of common stock into a New Note in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “February New Note”).

 

We incorporate by reference into this report the information included at Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 28, 2017.

 

Amendment and Exchange Agreement

 

On September 19, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and the Investor agreed that:

 

  the Company would effect a Mandatory Conversion, as defined in the Senior Secured Convertible Notes we issued to the Investor on December 2, 2016 (the “December 2016 Notes”), of $890,000 in principal amount of the December 2016 Notes, which conversion would be effective as of September 18, 2017 in exchange for 445,367 shares of our common stock;

 

  the Investor would prepay the remaining balance, in the amount of $670,000, of the promissory note in the original principal amount of $6,000,000 issued by the Investor to us on December 2, 2016; and

 

  the Investor would prepay $1,830,000 of the promissory note in the original principal amount of $8,800,000 issued by the Investor to us on August 16, 2017.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the Investor agreed to waive certain rights, including the right to receive additional shares of the Company’s common stock as a True-Up, as defined in the December 2016 Notes, any restriction (excluding any participation rights) on the Company’s offer, sale or issuance of shares of common stock and/or securities convertible into common stock in one or more private securities offerings, so long as the securities offered have a purchase price of at least $3.00 per share of common stock; and any restriction on the filing of one or more registration statements with the SEC for the resale of any shares of common stock issued or issuable in connection with any Permitted PIPE or Convertible Securities (as defined in the August Purchase Agreement).

 

The Investor also exchanged $10,000 in aggregate principal amount of the December 2016 Notes for a new senior convertible note issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $697,000 (the “Exchange Note”). On October 2, 2017 the Investor converted the Exchange Note into 232,334 shares of our common stock.

 

As a result of these transactions we received gross proceeds of $2.5 million on September 20, 2017.

The Exchange Shares, the Rights and the Reserved Shares are referred to in this report collectively as the “Exchange Securities.”

 

In exchange for the Exchange Securities, the Investor agreed to, among other things:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 8 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

 

 27 

 

  

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances. The Company performs the annual assessment on December 31.

 

In accordance with ASC 350–20 “Goodwill”, the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two–step goodwill impairment test. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform the two–step impairment test for that reporting unit. 

 

There were no impairment charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.    

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Consulting revenues are recognized as services are provided. The Company primarily provides consulting services under time and material contracts, whereby revenue is recognized as hours and costs are incurred. Clients for consulting revenues are billed on a weekly or monthly basis. Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. Any anticipated contract losses are estimated and accrued at the time they become known and estimable. Unbilled accounts receivables represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings. Revenue from sales of software licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software to a customer because future obligations associated with such revenue are insignificant.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company uses the fair value method as specified by the FASB, whereby compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures as originally issued.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $1.2 million as compared to revenues of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of a key offshore client and an overall decrease in the number of onshore consultants who are billed at an hourly rate.

 

Gross Profit. The resulting gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $0.2 million as compared to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in gross margin is due to the loss of a key offshore client and an overall decrease in the number of onshore consultants.

 

Operating Expenses. Non-research and development operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $2.7 million as compared to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase in operating expenses is primarily the result of approximately $1.6 million in technology, marketing, legal and public relations costs associated with Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone,” acquired on November 9, 2016), and roughly $0.3 million in general expenses.

 

Research and development. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $0.6 million as compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. These current year expenses relate to the development of the RedZone Map app.

 

Taxes. The Company had a tax benefit of $2,747 and a tax provision of $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Tax for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was comprised of minimum state taxes and a provision reconciliation of an over estimate of the tax accrual for the Company’s Indian subsidiary’s audit. Tax for the period ended September 30, 2016 was comprised of minimum state taxes.

Other Income/(Expense). In order to fund its operations, including the development of the RedZone Map app, and to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the majority stake in MoviePass, in September 2016, December 2016, February 2017 and August 2017, the Company issued and sold Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes having a total principal amount of approximately $27.7 million to the Investor. As a result of these securities offerings, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred (i) a charge of approximately $28.2 million resulting from the change in market value of derivative and warrant liabilities and (ii) interest expense of approximately $11.6 million. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had issued and sold only approximately $4.3 million in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, therefore, during that period, the change in market value of derivative liabilities represented income of approximately $0.4 million and interest expense of approximately $1.2 million.

 

Net Income/(Loss). Primarily as a result of the sale of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, the Company had a net loss of approximately ($43.5) million or ($5.79) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a net loss of approximately ($0.9) million or ($0.40) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net loss is due to recognizing the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities at period end as well a decline in revenues as stated above, and an increase in costs associated with the acquisition of Zone and the sale of our Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $3.7 million as compared to approximately $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of a key offshore client and an overall decrease in the number of onshore consultants who are billed at an hourly rate.

 

Gross Profit. The resulting gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $0.7 million as compared to approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in gross margin is due to the loss of a key offshore client and an overall decrease in the number of onshore consultants offset by a savings in cost of revenue from a decrease in consultants.

 

Operating Expenses. Non-research and development operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $9.3 million as compared to approximately $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase primarily was the result of the issuance of common stock to certain advisors for services performed resulting in compensation expense of approximately $2.2 million, an increase of approximately $3.0 million in marketing, legal and public relations costs associated with the RedZone Map app and approximately $0.5 million in general expenses.

 

Research and development. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $1.6 million as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These current year expenses relate to the development of the RedZone Map app.

 

Taxes. Tax provision for the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $39,110 and $37,247 respectively. Tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was comprised of minimum state taxes and a provision for tax in respect of taxes incurred by the Company’s Indian subsidiary. Tax for the period ended September 30, 2016 was comprised of minimum state taxes and a provision for tax in respect of taxes incurred by the Company’s Indian subsidiary.

 

Other Income/(Expense). In order to fund its operations, including the development of the RedZone Map app, and to obtain the funds necessary to purchase a majority stake in MoviePass, in September 2016, December 2016, February 2017 and August 2017, the Company issued and sold Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes having a total principal amount of approximately $27.7 million to the Investor. As a result of these securities offerings, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred (i) a charge of approximately $27.5 million resulting from the change in market value of derivative and warrant liabilities and (ii) interest expense of approximately $16.9 million. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had issued and sold only approximately $4.3 million in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, therefore, during that period, the change in market value of derivative liabilities represented income of approximately $0.4 million and interest expense of approximately $1.2 million. 

 

Net Income/(Loss). As a result of the above, the Company had a net loss of approximately ($55.2) million or ($8.35) per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a net loss of approximately ($1.2) million or ($0.51) per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net loss is due to recognizing the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities at period end as well a decline in revenues as stated above, and an increase in costs associated with the acquisition of Zone and the sale of our Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company’s revenue declined by approximately 35% from the previous period and we incurred a net loss of approximately ($55.2) million as compared to a net loss of approximately ($1.2) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The net losses are primarily driven by a decrease in gross profit margin of approximately $1.0 million, an expense of approximately $2.2 million related to shares issued for services, an increase in amortization of approximately $1.3 million related to intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the Zone acquisition, and interest expense of approximately $16.8 million related to accretion and interest expense incurred from derivative instruments, and a loss of ($27.5) million from the change in market value from derivative and warrant liabilities.

The Company’s cash balances were approximately $1.7 million at September 30, 2017 and approximately $2.7 million at December 31, 2016. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $7.6 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $39,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash used by operating activities primarily relates to a net loss of approximately ($55.2) million offset by non-cash adjustments of approximately $12.9 million related to accretion of debt discount, $27.5 million from the change in the Company’s derivative securities, approximately $2.2 million related to shares issued in exchange for services, and approximately $1.3 million related to depreciation and amortization expense.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016 were approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, representing 52 days and 52 days of sales outstanding respectively. The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of each of the periods presented. After giving effect to this allowance, the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in collecting amounts due.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $5.3 million as compared to net cash used of $0.7 million for the nine months September 30, 2016. The increase in cash outflows relating to investing activities was driven by a $5.0 million loan to MoviePass as part of the acquisition of a majority stake in MoviePass.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.0 million as compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Please see Note 7 to our financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of September 30, 2017, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

  

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter covered by this report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We may occasionally become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters that may arise from time to time could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. We are currently not aware of any such changes in legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, particularly in light of our current investments in and pending acquisition of a majority stake in MoviePass. Please see the risk factors set forth below relating to MoviePass as well as those risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect us or MoviePass. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of the Company’s securities to decline.

 

MoviePass has a limited operating history and history of net losses, and it is likely that it will experience net losses for the foreseeable future.

 

You should consider MoviePass’ business and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in their early stage of development. It has experienced significant net losses since its inception and, given the significant operating and capital expenditures associated with its business plan, anticipates continuing net losses and significant negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. If MoviePass ever does achieve profitability, of which no assurances can be given, MoviePass may be unable to sustain or increase such profitability.

 

To achieve and sustain profitability, MoviePass will need to accomplish numerous objectives, including substantially increasing the number of paying subscribers to its service and securing additional sources of revenue and economies of scale. There is a significant risk that MoviePass will be unable to achieve these objectives, which would damage MoviePass’ business and could lead to the loss of the Company’s investment in MoviePass.

 

MoviePass currently spends more to retain a subscriber than the revenue derived from that subscriber and MoviePass currently does not have other sources of revenue. This results in a negative gross profit margin. MoviePass expects its negative gross profit margin to remain significant until MoviePass can generate other sources of revenues to offset the losses or achieve substantial economies of scale. There is no assurance MoviePass will be able to generate other sources of revenue or be able to achieve economies of scale that would reduce the cost of revenue sufficiently to generate a positive gross profit margin. Failure to achieve positive gross profit margin in the foreseeable future could materially and adversely impact MoviePass’ ability to sustain its operations.

 

MoviePass has incurred losses since inception and has a present need for additional funding, which may be unavailable to it. As such, MoviePass expects it will receive a qualification on its audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 from its independent registered public accounting firm expressing substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

MoviePass has incurred losses since its inception and has a present need for additional funding. These factors raise substantial doubt about MoviePass’ ability to continue as a going concern. For the foreseeable future, MoviePass expects to fund its operations from additional debt or equity offerings and increased revenue from subscribers. If MoviePass cannot raise additional short-term capital, it may consume all of its cash needed for operations. There are no assurances that MoviePass will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to it. If MoviePass is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned growth, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. As a result, MoviePass expects that its independent registered public accounting firm will include an explanatory paragraph in its audit report on MoviePass’ financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 with respect to the uncertainty of MoviePass’ ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 32 

 

 

Increased monthly usage by MoviePass’ subscribers will cause it to incur losses and negative cash flow.

 

MoviePass’ monthly subscription pricing plan of $9.95 per month allows a subscriber to see a new movie each day for the entire month. In most cases, MoviePass pays the theaters the full cost for each movie ticket that a subscriber uses. Accordingly, increased movie viewing by subscribers would result in significant and increasing losses per subscriber, negative cash flow and could impair the ability of MoviePass to operate as a going concern absent additional sources of revenue or financing.

 

MoviePass may not gain acceptance from large national exhibitors (movie theater chains), which could have a material adverse effect on MoviePass’ financial condition and results of operations.

 

MoviePass has historically paid large national exhibitors full price for each ticket purchased by a MoviePass subscriber through the MoviePass application (though in the past, MoviePass has received as much as a 20% discount on movie tickets for its subscribers from a small group of its exhibitor partners that currently represent less than 6% of all movie tickets that MoviePass currently purchases). Additionally, MoviePass has not historically received a benefit from any large national exhibitors for driving MoviePass subscribers to their theaters (for example, in the form of a portion of concession sales). MoviePass anticipates negotiating discounts on movie tickets and receiving a portion of concession sales to its subscribers attending theaters operated by those exhibitor partners. However, if MoviePass is unable to partner with large national exhibitors, (i) MoviePass likely will continue to be required to pay full price per movie ticket each time a MoviePass subscriber attends a movie theater operated by a large national exhibitor, (ii) MoviePass would be unlikely to share in concession sales to its subscribers attending those theaters, and (iii) MoviePass may not be able to sell digital advertising or data analytics services to those large national exhibitors. If MoviePass is unable to negotiate discounted ticket prices from, share in concession sales with or sell digital advertising or data analytics services to large national exhibitors, MoviePass’ financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected, MoviePass may not become profitable and MoviePass may not be able to sustain its operations.

 

MoviePass may not gain acceptance from large movie studios, which could have a material adverse effect on MoviePass’ financial condition and results of operations.

 

MoviePass’ success will depend, in part, on deriving revenue from sales of digital advertising and data analytics services to large movie studios. However, if MoviePass is unable to gain acceptance from large national exhibitors (movie theater chains), upon which large movie studios depend to distribute and exhibit their movies, then large movie studios may refrain from purchasing digital advertising or data analytics services from MoviePass. If MoviePass is unable to derive revenue from selling digital advertising or data analytics services to large movie studios, MoviePass’ financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected, MoviePass may not become profitable and MoviePass may not be able to sustain its operations.

 

Following the Additional Loan, MoviePass will continue to need additional capital, and it cannot be sure that additional financing will be available.

 

Since inception, MoviePass has funded its operating losses and capital expenditures through proceeds from private equity and debt financings, including through the pending MoviePass transaction. MoviePass has a present need for significant additional financing, and such need may continue for the foreseeable business given the nature of MoviePass’ present operations. MoviePass’ ability to obtain financing will depend on, among other things, its development efforts, business plans, operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time it seeks financing. There is a material risk that additional financing for MoviePass will be unavailable to it on favorable terms when required, or at all.

 

Even if MoviePass raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of the Company, and MoviePass’ stockholders (including the Company) may experience dilution, perhaps to a significant extent. In addition, there is no assurance that the MoviePass transaction will close, and even if it does close, there is no assurance that MoviePass will receive any additional cash as a result. To close the MoviePass transaction and receive the remaining proceeds described below (and also to ensure that the MoviePass Note is deemed satisfied in full), MoviePass needs to complete certain milestones. MoviePass entered into the MoviePass Purchase Agreement with the Company on August 15, 2017 in which the Company originally agreed to acquire a majority stake in MoviePass for a purchase price of up to $27 million, which was increased to $28.5 million in connection with the amendment entered into on October 6, 2017 (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the MoviePass Purchase Agreement, the Company loaned MoviePass $5,000,000 in cash, pursuant to a subordinated convertible promissory note of MoviePass in the principal amount of $5,000,000. Such note was increased to $11.5 million pursuant to the Amendment and, as a result, the Company’s potential ownership percentage in MoviePass increased. At the closing of the MoviePass transaction, in exchange for the majority stake, the Company will issue MoviePass (i) 4,000,000 unregistered shares its common stock for a total agreed upon value of approximately $12,000,000, which such shares may not be immediately saleable; and (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Helios Note”). Pursuant to the Helios Note, the Company has agreed to pay $5,000,000, plus all accrued interest thereon, on the later of the 180th calendar day following the closing or when MoviePass’ common stock becomes listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange. If MoviePass is not listed on such an exchange on or before June 1, 2018 (the “Extended Listing Maturity Date”), then, within ten (10) business days thereafter, the Company will redeem the outstanding principal (not to exceed $5,000,000) and accrued unpaid interest on the Helios Note as of the Extended Listing Maturity Date (the “Redemption Amount”) in exchange for the Company tendering to MoviePass for immediate cancellation such number of MoviePass shares in consideration of the immediate and automatic cancellation of the Company’s obligation to repay any outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Helios Note. There can be no assurance that MoviePass will become listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange in a timely manner, if at all, which would lead to an even more urgent need on the part of MoviePass to secure additional funding.

 

 33 

 

 

MoviePass’ ability to develop and implement new and updated features and services may be more difficult than expected and may not result in sufficient increases in revenue to justify the costs.

 

Attracting and retaining subscribers requires MoviePass to continue to improve the technology underlying its applications and to continue to develop new and updated features, services and applications. If MoviePass is unable to do so on a timely basis, or if it’s unable to implement new features and services without disrupting its existing applications, MoviePass may lose current and potential subscribers. MoviePass relies on a combination of internal development, strategic relationships and licensing to develop its service offering and related features. The development and implementation of new technologies, features and services may cost more than expected, may take longer than originally expected, may require more testing than originally anticipated, or may require the acquisition of additional personnel, technology and other resources. There can be no assurance that MoviePass’ revenue opportunities from any new or updated technologies, applications, features or services will justify the amounts spent.

 

MoviePass’ success depends on its ability to maintain its brand. If events occur that damage its brand, MoviePass’ business and financial results may be harmed.

 

MoviePass’ success depends on its ability to maintain the value of its brand. Maintaining, promoting, and positioning the MoviePass brand will depend largely on the success of its marketing efforts and its ability to provide consistent, high quality products and services through its applications. The MoviePass brand could be harmed if MoviePass fails to achieve these objectives or if its public image or brand were to be tarnished by negative publicity. MoviePass’ reputation and brand may be harmed if it fails to maintain a consistently high level of customer service. Executing the strategies necessary to maintain its brand may require MoviePass to make substantial investments, and these investments may not be successful. Such failures may adversely affect MoviePass’ business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Any material disruption or breach of MoviePass’ information technology systems or those of third-party partners could materially damage subscriber and business partner relationships, and could subject MoviePass to significant reputational, financial, legal, and operational consequences.

 

Despite the implementation of security measures, the servers of MoviePass’ computing providers and other systems, and other third parties on which MoviePass relies, are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures. Any material disruption or slowdown of MoviePass’ systems or those of third parties whom MoviePass depends upon, including a disruption or slowdown caused by MoviePass’ failure to successfully manage significant increases in subscriber volume or successfully upgrade applicable systems, system failures, viruses, security breaches, or other causes, could harm MoviePass’ brand and reputation, and cause revenues to decline. To the extent that any disruption or security breach was to result in a loss of or damage to data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, MoviePass could incur liability and the further development of products and services could be delayed. In addition, if changes in technology cause MoviePass’ information systems, or those of third parties on whom MoviePass depends, to become obsolete, or if such information systems are inadequate to handle MoviePass’ growth, MoviePass could lose subscribers and its business and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

MoviePass’ online services are dependent on the development and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure.

 

MoviePass’ ability to deliver its online services is dependent on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure provided by the Internet, which is maintained by third parties. The Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damages to portions of its infrastructure, and it could face outages and delays in the future. The Internet has also experienced, and is likely to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and the amount of traffic. If the Internet continues to experience increased usage, the Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it. In addition, the reliability and performance of the Internet may be harmed by increased usage or by denial-of-service attacks. Any resulting interruptions in MoviePass’ services or increases in response time could, if significant, result in a loss of potential or existing subscribers and, if sustained or repeated, could reduce the attractiveness of MoviePass’ service offerings.

 

 34 

 

 

MoviePass’ failure or inability to protect its intellectual property rights could diminish the value of its brand and weaken its competitive position.

 

MoviePass relies on a combination of trademark, trade secret, and unfair competition laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and procedures and licensing arrangements, and where appropriate, patents and copyright to establish and protect its intellectual property rights. There is a risk that the steps taken by MoviePass to protect its intellectual property rights will be inadequate to prevent infringement of such rights by others, including imitation of MoviePass’ services and misappropriation of its brand. Additionally, the process of obtaining patent or trademark protection is expensive and time-consuming, and MoviePass may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications or apply for all necessary or desirable trademark applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.

 

Moreover, costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of MoviePass’ proprietary rights, and its failure or inability to obtain or maintain trade secret protection or otherwise protect its proprietary rights could adversely affect its business. MoviePass may be subject to intellectual property-related lawsuits in various jurisdictions, and there is a risk that MoviePass’ products or activities violate the patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights of third-party claimants. MoviePass may also need to institute litigation to protect its own intellectual property from third party infringers. Costs of supporting such litigation and disputes may be considerable, and there can be no assurances that a favorable outcome will be obtained. Patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against MoviePass or brought by MoviePass, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs, harm to the MoviePass brand, and have an adverse effect on MoviePass’ business.

 

If MoviePass is not able to manage its growth, its business could be affected adversely.

 

MoviePass’ subscriber base has expanded rapidly since August 15, 2017, when it announced its new subscription price of $9.95 per month. MoviePass may not be able, for many reasons, including lack of financing or adequate personnel resources, to meet the demand to timely deliver MoviePass cards to its subscribers or otherwise service its business. As a result, MoviePass could experience a significant slowdown or stoppage as it attempts to serve the expanding subscriber base.

 

MoviePass anticipates that further expansion of its operations will be required to address any significant growth in its subscriber base and to take advantage of favorable market opportunities. Any future expansion will likely place significant demands on its managerial, operational, administrative and financial resources. If it is not able to respond effectively to new or increased demands that arise because of MoviePass’ growth, or, if in responding, MoviePass’ management is materially distracted from current operations, MoviePass’ business may be affected adversely.

 

If MoviePass’ efforts to attract and service subscribers are not successful, its revenues and results of operations will be affected adversely.

 

MoviePass must continue to attract, retain and grow the number of its subscribers. To succeed, it must continue to attract a large number of subscribers who have traditionally used online and pay cable channels, such as Netflix, HBO and Showtime, and pay-per-view and video-on-demand as opposed to attending movie theaters. MoviePass’ ability to attract and retain subscribers will depend in part on its ability to consistently provide subscribers a high quality experience for purchasing passes and viewing movies in theaters. If consumers do not perceive MoviePass’ service offering to be of high quality, or if MoviePass introduces new services that are not favorably received by customers, it may not be able to attract or retain subscribers. If its efforts to satisfy its existing subscribers are not successful, MoviePass may not be able to attract new subscribers, and as a result, its revenue and results of operations will be affected adversely.

 

If MoviePass is unable to compete effectively, its business will be affected adversely.

 

The market for filmed entertainment ticketing services is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. MoviePass may experience competition that could negatively affect demand for MoviePass’ service or ability to be accepted at certain theater chains. Current potential competitors include Atom Tickets, MovieTickets.com, Fandango as well as potential exhibitors offering their own subscription services.

 

Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple filmed entertainment ticketing providers and can easily shift spending from one provider to another. If MoviePass is unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors and technologies, it may not be able to achieve adequate market share, increase its revenues, or achieve and maintain profitability.

 

Many of its competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than MoviePass does. Some of its competitors have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing and website and systems development than MoviePass does. In addition, MoviePass’ competitors may form or extend strategic alliances with studios, exhibitors and distributors that could affect adversely its ability to compete on favorable terms.

The loss by MoviePass of one or more of its key personnel, or its failure to attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could seriously harm MoviePass’ existing business and new service developments.

 

MoviePass depends on the continued services and performance of its key personnel, particularly its Chief Executive Officer Mitch Lowe and other key members of management. In addition, much of MoviePass’ key technology and systems are custom made for its business by its personnel. The loss of MoviePass key managerial and key technology personnel could disrupt its operations and have an adverse effect on its ability to grow and expand its business.
