TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

CloudCommerce, Inc. (“CloudCommerce,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of data driven solutions. We develop solutions that help our clients acquire, engage, and retain their customers by leveraging cutting edge digital strategies and technologies. We focus intently on using data analytics to drive the creation of great user experiences and effective digital marketing campaigns. Whether it is creating omni-channel experiences, engaging a specific audience, or energizing voters in political campaigns, we believe data is the key to digital success. Our goal is to become the industry leader by always applying a “data first” strategy and acquiring other companies that can help us achieve this vision. 

To better serve our customers and create value for our shareholders, we strategically acquire profitable cloud commerce solutions providers with strong management teams.

Core Services

Our core solutions are data analytics, digital marketing, branding and creative services, and development managed infrastructure support.

Data Analytics

To deliver the highest Return on Investment (“ROI”) for our customers’ digital marketing campaigns, we utilize sophisticated data science to identify the correct universes to target relevant audiences. Our ability to understand and translate data drives every decision we make. By listening to and analyzing our customers’ data we are able to make informed decisions that positively impact our customers’ business. We leverage industry-best tools to aggregate and visualize data across multiple sources, and then our data and behavioral scientists segment and model that data to be deployed in targeted marketing campaigns. We have data analytics expertise in retail, wholesale, distribution, logistics, manufacturing, political, and several other industries.

Digital Marketing

We help our customers get their message out, educate their market and tell their story. We do so creatively and effectively by deploying powerful call-to-action digital campaigns with national reach and boosting exposure and validation with coordinated advertising in print media. Our fully-developed marketing plans are founded on sound research methodologies, brand audits and exploration of the competitive landscape. Whether our customer is a challenger brand, a political candidate, or a well-known household name, our strategists are skillful at leveraging data and creating campaigns that move people to make decisions.

Branding and Creative Services

We approach branding from a “big picture” perspective, establishing a strong identity and then building on that to develop a comprehensive branding program that tells our customer’s story, articulates what sets our customer apart from their competitors and establishes our customer in their market.

Development and Managed Infrastructure Support

Commerce-focused, user-friendly digital websites and apps elevates our customer’s marketing position and draw consumers to their products and services. Our platform-agnostic approach allows us to architect and build solutions that are the best fit for each customer. Once the digital properties are built, our experts will help manage and protect the website or app and provide the expertise needed to scale the infrastructure needed as our customer’s business grows.

Revenue Model

We have a variety of revenue-generating models. We charge fixed or variable implementation fees to design, build and launch websites. In addition, we have several retainer arrangements for other services that vary in term length that provides reliable income. Our professional services are billed at hourly or monthly rates, depending on the customer’s needs. We believe this flexibility allows us to attract customers while maximizing profits based on billable hours.

Benefits to Clients

Our complete solution of providing robust technology along with complementary professional services delivers many benefits to our customers.

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership and Risk

Utilizing our services, businesses can dramatically reduce or eliminate upfront and ongoing hardware, software, maintenance and support costs associated with developing, customizing, deploying and upgrading sophisticated solutions and campaigns. They can have a global digital presence without assuming the costs and risks of developing it themselves and take immediate advantage of the investments we continually make in our digital systems and associated services. Our commitment to the latest technologies helps ensure that our clients maintain pace with industry advances.

Revenue Growth

We help our clients grow their businesses by leveraging our experience to (i) increase the acquisition, retention and lifetime value of new customers; (ii) extending their businesses into new geographic markets; and (iii) expanding the visibility and sales of their products through new online sales channels. We have developed substantial expertise in digital marketing which we apply to help our clients enhance their brands and increase interest and traffic, all of which are designed to generate higher revenues for our clients’ businesses and greater revenue for the Company.

Deployment Speed

Businesses can reduce the time required to develop their digital presence by utilizing our outsourced business model. Typically, a new client can have their digital properties live much more quickly than if they decided to build, test and deploy resources in-house. Once they are operational, clients can make real-time changes to their digital properties, allowing them to address issues and take advantage of opportunities without technical assistance.

Focus on Core Competency

By utilizing our outsourced-agency model, businesses can focus on developing, marketing and selling their products rather than devoting time and resources to building and maintaining an internal infrastructure. Management can focus their time on their core business while ensuring they have access to the latest technologies, tools and expertise for running a successful digital operation.

Sales and Marketing

Our objective is to be the leading global provider of data-driven solutions. To achieve this objective, we have assembled a team of experts working collectively for the best interest of our customers.

During the client sales process, our team delivers demonstrations, presentations, proposals and contracts. Many new customers have been retained through email marketing, direct sales, and word-of-mouth referrals. Our direct sales efforts are aimed at senior marketing and information technology (IT) executives within Consumer, B2B and political organizations who are looking to create or expand their digital operations. Word-of-mouth referrals have been very valuable to us and we intend to continue nurturing our customer and industry relationships to maximize these referrals.

In addition to our direct sales efforts and referrals, we have established and continue to explore channel partnerships to expand our customer base. Prospective channel partners include existing Technology companies, hosting providers, ERP vendors, and e-commerce marketing professionals.

Industry Overview

Growth of Mobile, Digital and Social

We believe there are a number of factors that are contributing to the growth of mobile, digital and social commerce, including the following: (i) accessibility and adoption of smartphone devices throughout the world; (ii) rapid advancements in high-speed internet and 4G cellular networks making the internet more available, reliable, and efficient; (iii) consumers are more comfortable with the process of consuming information and buying products from their mobile devices; (iv) the functionality of both mobile and desktop website continues to improve, a greater range of mobile payment options are available, and special offers and shipping discounts are making online shopping more attractive; (v) businesses are placing more emphasis on their digital commerce strategies as mobile, desktop and social channels can reach a larger audience at a comparatively lower cost than the methods used to drive traffic to

traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores. As a result of these growth drivers, we believe retailers and wholesalers have begun to build large, global customer bases that can be reached cost-effectively, potentially resulting in higher sales and profitability.

Opportunities for Outsourced Digital Solutions

We believe there are advantages to outsourcing data analytics, digital marketing, creative and development solutions like those of CloudCommerce as an attractive alternative to building and maintaining this capability in-house. These advantages include: (i) eliminating the substantial up-front and ongoing costs of computer hardware, network infrastructure and specialized application software and personnel; (ii) reducing the time it takes to get digital products and properties live and productive; (iii) shifting the ongoing technology, financial, regulatory and compliance risks to a proven service provider; (iv) leveraging the expertise of a digital solutions provider to accelerate growth of a business; and (v) allowing businesses to focus on their specific core competencies.

Competition

The market for digital marketing solutions providers is highly fragmented with vendors providing expertise in specific areas. Usually, merchants or brands must manage multiple vendors that supply specific services. We compete with other outsourced digital providers as well as with companies that maintain their own internal teams and build their solutions themselves. The competition we encounter includes:

Government Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state, and local laws affecting e-commerce and communication businesses. The Federal Trade Commission and equivalent state agencies regulate advertising and representations made by businesses in the sale of their products, which apply to us. We are also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general.

Employees

As of December 31, 2018, we had 65 full time employees, 6 of whom are employed in administrative positions, 2 in sales and marketing positions, and 57 in technical positions. Fifty-four employees are in Texas, 5 in Florida, 2 in Utah, 1 in California, 1 in New Jersey, 1 in Washington, DC, and 1 in New York.

All of our employees have executed agreements that impose nondisclosure obligations on the employee and assign to us (to the extent permitted by state and federal laws) all copyrights and other inventions created by the employee during his employment with us. Additionally, we have a trade secret protection policy in place that management believes to be adequate to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets.

Seasonality

We do not anticipate that our business will be substantially affected by seasonality.

Trademarks

We have registered trademarks for CloudCommerce®.

Company History

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on January 22, 2002 and was formerly known as Warp 9, Inc., Roaming Messenger, Inc., and Latinocare Management Corporation (“LMC”). On July 9, 2015, we changed the name

of the Company from Warp 9, Inc. to CloudCommerce, Inc. to reflect a new plan of strategically acquiring profitable data driven marketing solutions providers with strong management teams. The Company, based in San Antonio, Texas, began operations on October 1, 1999. We develop solutions that help our clients acquire, engage, and retain their customers by leveraging cutting edge digital strategies and technologies. We focus intently on using data analytics to drive the creation of great user experiences and effective digital marketing campaigns. Whether it is creating omni-channel experiences, engaging a specific audience, or energizing voters in political campaigns, we believe data is the key to digital success. Our goal is to become the industry leader by always applying a “data first” strategy and acquiring other companies that can help us achieve this vision.  The Company consists of five subsidiaries, CLWD Operations, Inc. (formerly Indaba Group, Inc.), Parscale Digital, Inc., which merged with Parscale Creative, Inc., as a result of an acquisition dated August 1, 2017, WebTegrity, LLC (“WebTegrity”), which was acquired November 15, 2017, Data Propria, Inc., which the Company launched February 1, 2018, and Giles Design Bureau, Inc., which spun out from Parscale Digital in May, 2018. On January 17, 2018, the board of directors of the Company elected to change its year end from June 30 to December 31. The Company focuses on four main areas, data analytics, digital marketing, branding and creative services, and web development.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance of our future operating results.

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, and we expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, we had working capital deficit of $4,146,991 and $1,835,714, respectively.   For the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, we incurred net losses of $2,870,013, $2,486,114, and $2,042,504, respectively.   The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales.

A significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject to a periodic impairment analysis and a significant impairment determination in any future period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations even without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses attributable to such period.

We have goodwill totaling $4,575,000 at December 31, 2018 resulting from the acquisitions of Parscale Creative, WebTegrity and Parscale Media. We evaluate this goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. This estimated fair value could change if we are unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the market valuation of those business units decreases based on transactions involving similar companies, or there is a permanent, negative change in the market demand for the services offered by the business units. These changes could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance that could require a material non-cash charge to our results of operations.

We operate with significant levels of debt and rely on funding to operate.

As of December 31, 2018, our total outstanding debts were approximately $1,500,000. In addition, a large portion of the outstanding debt is owed to an entity controlled by our Chief Financial Officer. Due to operational losses, we continue to require funding from our lenders to cover operational expenses. Although we are not required to make quarterly or annual payments on the outstanding balance of our debt, interest accrues on the principal amount of such debt and the balance is required to be repaid at some point in the future. There is no guarantee that we will have sufficient funds to pay our obligations, nor is there a guarantee that our lenders will re-finance the debts or extend the maturity dates.

There is no guarantee that our lenders will continue to support us.

We may require additional capital to fund operations, finance additional acquisitions, purchase computer equipment, expand into additional markets, initiate advertising campaigns, or hire key personnel. Although we have positive working relationships with our lenders, there is no guarantee that the lenders will continue to support us in all

the ways we choose to spend our capital. If our lenders choose not to fund the Company, then our operations may be halted, our growth may decrease or we may need to scale back on our expenditures.

We are operating at a loss and may incur additional losses in the future.

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $(2,870,013). To reach our business growth objectives, we currently expect to increase our operating, sales, and marketing expenses, as well as capital expenditures. To offset these expenses, we will need to generate additional profitable revenue. If our revenue declines or grows slower than either we anticipate or our clients’ projections indicate, or if our operating, sales and marketing expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be reduced to an appropriate level, we may not generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

We are dependent on key personnel for our operations. If those key personnel were to leave the Company, operations may suffer.

Our performance is highly dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, we need to attract and retain other highly-skilled, technical and managerial personnel for whom there is intense competition. For example, if we are unable to hire or continually train our employees to keep pace with the rapid and continuing changes in technology and the markets we serve or changes in the types of services our clients are demanding, we may not be able to develop and deliver new services and solutions to fulfill client demand. Our inability to attract and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel could materially adversely affect our ability to maintain and grow our business significantly.

If labor rates for key personnel increases, the increase may strain cash flows further.

Competition for labor could substantially increase our labor costs. Although we seek to preserve the contractual ability to pass through increases in labor costs to our clients, not all of our current contracts provide us with this protection, and we may enter into contracts in the future which limit or prohibit our ability to pass through increases in labor costs to our clients. If we are unable to pass costs through to our clients, our financial condition may be materially affected.

Even though the Company incurs significant costs while attempting to acquire other businesses, there is no guarantee that the transactions will be consummated

The Company incurs significant costs associated with both searching for companies to acquire and in closing a transaction. These costs include, but are not limited to, airfare, legal, audit and consulting fees. Because the merger/acquisition is not only dependent on both parties being dedicated to the completion of the transaction, but also the operational fit must be right, we may not close on all transactions we pursue. Incomplete transactions may result in significant capital out flows with no benefit to the Company.

If there is a triggering event that adversely affects the Company, then our intangible assets may be impaired, resulting in significant write offs.

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets represented approximately 85% of our total assets as of December 31, 2018.  The carrying value of goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of identifiable assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. We are required to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually, as well as on an interim basis to the extent that factors or indicators become apparent that could reduce the fair value below its book value. Such factors requiring an interim test for impairment include loss of key employees, pending bankruptcy, loss of a significant client, declining sales, significant cost increases, change in management or declining spend in the industry.  If it is determined that there has been an event that may reduce the fair value of our intangible assets, then we would be required to write off all, or a portion, of the balance recorded as intangible assets. Such a write off would reduce earnings during the period of the write off.

We may become a party to litigation involving intellectual property rights, employment violations, breach of contract, or other lawsuit, which may place a burden on management and cash flows.

Third parties may, in the future, assert that our business, the technologies we use, or the business practices we use, infringe on their intellectual property rights or employment rights or that we are in violation of other rights or laws. Defending the Company against such actions may require significant time of management and substantial amounts of money. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims in the future or whether any future

claims will prevent us from offering our products or services. If we are found to be in the wrong, we may be required to pay a significant amount of money which could include damages and attorneys’ fees.

A portion of our services are provided by third parties which we do not control. Such third parties may provide poor service which may harm the relationships we have with our clients.

We currently, and may in the future, rely on third party providers to provide various portions of our service offering.  If our business relationship with a third-party provider is negatively affected, or is terminated, we might not be able to deliver the corresponding service offering to our clients, which could cause us to lose clients and future business, reducing our revenues. Any such failure on the part of the third party, may damage our reputation and otherwise result in a material adverse effect upon our business and financial condition.

A large portion of our revenue is concentrated with a small number of clients.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, five clients represented approximately 38% of our service fee revenue and we currently expect these clients will represent approximately 30% of our service fee revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019, as we add additional clients and acquire companies. Termination, reduction, or delay of our services under a contract could result from factors unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project such as factors related to business or financial conditions of the client, changes in client strategies or the domestic or global economy generally. Termination, reduction or substantial delay of services any significant client, or nonrenewal of any significant client contract, or the nonpayment of a material amount of our service fees by a significant client, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operation and financial condition.

If a larger number of companies compete with us, it may be difficult to grow or maintain our revenue.

Many companies offer, on an individual basis, one or more of the same services we do, and we face competition from many different sources depending upon the type and range of services requested by a potential client. Many of these companies have greater capabilities and resources than we do for the single or multiple functions they provide. In addition, we compete against other professional service firms that have substantial offshore operations with lower labor costs, which enable them to offer lower pricing to potential clients.  We cannot be certain we will be able to compete successfully against these or other competitors in the future.

In addition, growth in our clients’ e-commerce businesses may cause a client to consider making the necessary investments to process their e-commerce operations in-house. In such event, unless we can provide a more cost-effective solution to the client, the client may choose to terminate our services. There is no assurance that we will be able to provide a more cost-effective solution, or that any such solution will not reduce our profitability or be accepted by the client.

If we do not accurately price our fixed fee projects, the Company may suffer from decreased cash flows.

When making a proposal for, or managing, a fixed-price engagement, we rely on our estimates of costs and timing for delivering our services, which may be based on limited data and could be inaccurate. If we do not accurately estimate our costs and the timing for completion of a fixed-price project, the contract for such a project could prove unprofitable or yield a profit margin that is lower than expected. Losses, if any, on fixed-price contracts are recognized when the loss is determined. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of fixed-price contracts, including delays caused by factors outside of our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable and may affect the amount of revenue, profit, and profit margin reported in any period.

Our industry is dependent on quickly evolving technologies and knowledge. If we do not maintain proper technology or knowledge, then our operations may be adversely affected.

To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our services and the underlying network infrastructure. If we are unable to adapt to changing market conditions, client requirements or emerging industry standards, our business could be adversely affected. The internet and e-commerce environments are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our technology and systems obsolete. We must continue to address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our clients and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.

Our growth strategy is dependent on the success of these acquisitions and in the future we may acquire additional companies, products or technologies or enter into joint ventures or other strategic initiatives. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or any other future acquisition, and any acquisition has numerous risks. These risks include the following:

Mergers and acquisitions of companies are inherently risky and, if we do not complete the integration of acquired businesses successfully and in a timely manner, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions to the extent anticipated, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our acquisitions may not achieve expected benefits, and may increase our liabilities, disrupt our existing business and harm our operating results.

As part of our strategy, we seek to acquire other businesses and technologies to complement our current products, expand the breadth of our markets, or enhance our technical capabilities. For example, in August 2017, we acquired Parscale Creative. The benefits we expect to receive from these and other acquisitions depend on our ability to successfully conduct due diligence, negotiate the terms of the acquisition and integrate the acquired business into our systems, procedures and organizational structure. Any inaccuracy in our acquisition assumptions or any failure to uncover liabilities or risks associated with the acquisition, make the acquisition on favorable terms, integrate the acquired business or assets as and when expected or retain key employees of the acquired company may reduce or eliminate the expected benefits of the acquisition to us, increase our costs, disrupt our operations, result in additional liabilities, investigations and litigation, and may also harm our strategy, business and operating results. The failure to achieve expected acquisition benefits may also result in impairment charges for goodwill and purchased intangible assets.

Future acquisitions may include an equity component that may dilute the positions of current stockholders.

We have traditionally used our equity to finance our acquisitions. As we search for additional companies to acquire, the components of the purchase price may include a combination of cash, debt and equity. The issuance of a substantial amount of equity may have a dilutive effect on our current shareholders upon such equity being deemed free-trading. Although this dilution may result in higher trading volume, it may result in lower market prices, which may limit an investor’s ability to obtain a return on their investment.

In addition, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

There is a significant amount of exposure to the Company due to Bradley Parscale being on the board of directors.

As recently announced, Bradley Parscale was named as campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential election run. As soon as the announcement was made, opponents to Mr. Parscale and President Trump made a connection to Parscale Digital and CloudCommerce, resulting in negative press articles, vindictive message through social media, and angry direct messages to some of our employees. We expect these types of activities to continue, and potentially increase in intensity as we near the 2020 elections. There is a potential that employees who do not want to be associated with Mr. Parscale or President Trump will terminate their employment or attempt to cause harm to the Company. Further, there may be customers who may also want to reduce their business with us because of the relationship with Mr. Parscale. We could also lose customers, and if we are not able to replace the revenue from those lost customers, total revenue could decline.

Our largest customer, Parscale Strategy, is owned and controlled by Bradley Parscale.

A large portion of our revenue (19%) comes from digital marketing, design and website development activities for Parscale Strategy, which is owned by Bradley Parscale. It is uncertain whether Mr. Parscale’s presidential campaign management activities will increase or decrease the amount of work we receive from Parscale Strategy. If Mr. Parscale uses other vendors for his digital advertising work, then we may see a decline in revenue. This decline may result in a cash flow shortage and losses of the operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Due to the low price and volume of our stock, a shareholder may be unable to sell shares, or may lose money on their investment.

The trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in operating results, announcements of material adverse events, general conditions in our industry or the public marketplace and other events or factors, including the thin trading of our common stock. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many technology-related companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our operating results differ from our announced guidance or the expectations of equity research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.

Our principal stockholders, officers and directors own a controlling interest in its voting stock and investors have a limited voice in our management.  

Our principal stockholders, officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 74% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders acting together, have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to the Company's stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our principal stockholders, directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Their stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the sec and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than

$5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which:

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock

We have never paid dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future. As a result, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTCQB which may have an adverse material effect on our Company.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent public accounting firm in their report dated December 31, 2018 included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Going concern contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. As a result, our financial statements do not reflect any adjustment which would result from our failure to continue to operate as a going concern. Any such adjustment, if necessary, would materially affect the value of our assets.

Because there is a limited market in our common stock, stockholders may have difficulty in selling our common stock and our common stock may be subject to significant price swings.

There is a very limited market for our common stock. Since trading commenced on the OTCQB, there has been little activity in our common stock and on some days there is no trading in our common stock. Because of the limited market for our common stock, the purchase or sale of a relatively small number of shares may have an exaggerated effect on the market price for our common stock. We cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to

sell common stock or, that if they are able to sell their shares, that they will be able to sell the shares in any significant quantity at the quoted price.

We have a substantial number of convertible securities outstanding. The exercise of our outstanding warrants and conversion of our outstanding convertible notes can have a dilutive effect on our common stock.

We have a substantial number of convertible securities outstanding. The exercise of our outstanding options and conversion of our outstanding convertible notes and convertible preferred stock can have a dilutive effect on our common stock. As of December 31, 2018, we had (i) outstanding options to purchase 151 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.017 per share, (ii) outstanding convertible notes that, upon conversion without regard to any beneficial ownership limitations, would provide note holders with an aggregate of 24 million shares of our common stock; and (iii) outstanding shares of our Series, A, B C, D and E Preferred Stock that, upon conversion without regard to any beneficial ownership limitations or advance conversion notice, would provide the holders with an aggregate of 1,156 million shares of our common stock. The issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of outstanding options or conversion of outstanding convertible notes and preferred stock could result in substantial dilution to our stockholders, which may have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the following:

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See footnote 3 for a disclosure of our use of estimates and judgement, as it relates to revenue recognition.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

Business Combinations 

The application of business combination accounting requires use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified

intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2018 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include commitments associated with non-cancelable operating leases, which includes office leases for Parscale Digital, Giles Design Bureau, Data Propria and WebTegrity. See footnote 14 for disclosure of operating leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the year ended December 31, 2018, and the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”).

In May 2014, the FASB issue ASU 2014-09. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company follows paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09, adopting the pronouncements on January 1, 2018. The company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when services are performed to such a degree that the performed service is delivered or deliverable to the client, or when a tangible item, such as interior décor or signage, is delivered to the client. Since the Company was already recognizing revenue in a manner consistent with paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, there was no material impact on prior year results.

ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing guidance on revenue recognition with a five-step model for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires a number of disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and

uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flows. The guidance can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of initial adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. The timing and measurement of revenue recognition under the new standard is not materially different than under the old standard. The adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following pronouncements are being evaluated and will be adopted in the year ended December 31, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases." Topic 842 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840, "Leases." Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. As currently issued, entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. There are additional optional practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply. We anticipate that the adoption of Topic 842 will not materially affect our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are in the process of implementing changes to our systems and processes in conjunction with our review of existing lease agreements. We will adopt Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and expect to elect certain available transitional practical expedients.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, our consolidated net loss increased by $1,765,441, to $2,486,114, compared to a consolidated net loss of $720,673 for six months ended December 31, 2016. This increase in net loss is primarily due to impairment of the Indaba goodwill and intangible assets, and transaction costs related to the Parscale Creative and WebTegrity acquisitions.

Results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2016

REVENUE

Total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 increased by $851,346 to $2,931,089, compared to $2,079,743 in the prior year, an increase of 41%. The increase is primarily due to the growth within our Indaba subsidiary.

SALARIES AND OUTSIDE SERVICES

Salaries and outside services expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 increased by $561,487, or approximately 21% to $3,180,675, compared to $2,619,188 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to the increased cost to retain talented employees.

SG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $164,783, or approximately 15% to $902,994, compared to $1,067,777 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to the decreases in advertising and travel.

STOCK OPTION EXPENSE

Stock option expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 increased by $16,007, or approximately 3% to $502,000, compared to $485,993 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to a full year of stock options expensed in the current year but issued and only partially expensed in the prior year.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 increased by $116,985, or approximately 64% to $300,752, compared to $183,767 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and additional fixed assets acquired with Indaba, and additional intangible assets associated with the change of the Company’s name to CloudCommerce. The depreciation and amortization of these intangible assets were included in the year ended June 30, 2016, but not for 12 months, due to the mid-year acquisition of Indaba. During the year ended June 30, 2017, a full year of these items have been included in expense.

This decrease in net loss is primarily due to increases in revenue and the discontinuance of accounting for derivative liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of $116,312, compared to $272,321 as of December 31, 2017. The Company had a net working capital deficit (the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($4,146,991) as of December 31, 2018, compared to a net working capital deficit of ($1,835,714) at December 31, 2017.

Cash used in operating activities was $344,407 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $990,053 used for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and cash used of $867,850 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Cash used in investing activities was $52,072 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to cash flow provided of $247,587 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and cash provided of $13,728 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $240,470 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $983,918 provided for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and cash provided of $835,328 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.

As a result of the recent economic recession, and the continuing economic uncertainty, it has been difficult for companies to obtain equity or debt financing. While the credit markets have improved over the last year, it remains difficult for smaller companies to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities. The terms of the securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities which may have a further dilutive effect.

Furthermore, any additional debt or equity or other financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business. Further, we may not be able to continue operations if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations.

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CloudCommerce, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements of CloudCommerce, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 13, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated statements.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CloudCommerce, Inc. (“Company”) as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

Organization

CloudCommerce, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formerly known as Warp 9, Inc., Roaming Messenger, Inc., and Latinocare Management Corporation (“LMC”). On July 9, 2015, we changed the name of the Company from Warp 9, Inc. to CloudCommerce, Inc. to reflect a new plan of strategically acquiring profitable data driven marketing solutions providers with strong management teams. The Company, based in San Antonio, Texas, began operations on October 1, 1999. We develop solutions that help our clients acquire, engage, and retain their customers by leveraging cutting edge digital strategies and technologies. We focus intently on using data analytics to drive the creation of great user experiences and effective digital marketing campaigns. Whether it is creating omni-channel experiences, engaging a specific audience, or energizing voters in political campaigns, we believe data is the key to digital success. Our goal is to become the industry leader by always applying a “data first” strategy and acquiring other companies that can help us achieve this vision.  The Company consists of four subsidiaries, Parscale Digital, Inc., which merged with Parscale Creative, Inc., as a result of an acquisition dated August 1, 2017, WebTegrity, LLC, which was acquired November 15, 2017, Data Propria, Inc., which the Company launched February 1, 2018, and Giles Design Bureau, Inc., which spun out from Parscale Digital in May, 2018. On January 17, 2018, the board of directors of the Company elected to change its year end from June 30 to December 31. The Company focuses on four main areas, data analytics, digital marketing, branding and creative services, and web development.

Data Analytics

To deliver the highest Return on Investment (“ROI”) for our customer’s digital marketing campaign, we utilize sophisticated data science to identify the correct universes to target relevant audiences. Our ability to understand and translate data drives every decision we make. By listening to and analyzing our customers’ data we are able to make informed decisions that positively impact our customers’ business. We leverage industry-best tools to aggregate and visualize data across multiple sources, and then our data and behavioral scientists segment and model that data to be deployed in targeted marketing campaigns. We have data analytics expertise in retail, wholesale, distribution, logistics, manufacturing, political, and several other industries.

Digital Marketing

We help our customers get their message out, educate their market and tell their story. We do so creatively and effectively by deploying powerful call-to-action digital campaigns with national reach and boosting exposure and validation with coordinated advertising in print media. Our fully-developed marketing plans are founded on sound research methodologies, brand audits and exploration of the competitive landscape. Whether our customer is a challenger brand, a political candidate, or a well-known household name, our strategists are skillful at leveraging data and creating campaigns that move people to make decisions.

Branding and Creative Services

We approach branding from a “big picture” perspective, establishing a strong identity and then building on that to develop a comprehensive branding program that tells our customer’s story, articulates what sets our customer apart from their competitors and establishes our customer in their market.

Development and Managed Infrastructure Support

Commerce-focused, user-friendly digital websites and apps elevates our customer’s marketing position and draw consumers to their products and services. Our platform-agnostic approach allows us to architect and build solutions that are the best fit for each customer. Once the digital properties are built, our experts will help manage and protect the website or app and provide the expertise needed to scale the infrastructure needed as our customer’s business grows.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company had negative working capital of $4,146,991 and has historically reported net losses, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability

of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through December 31, 2018. It is management’s plan to generate additional working capital from increasing sales from the Company’s service offerings, in addition to acquiring profitable service providers.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of CloudCommerce is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Indaba Group, Inc (“Indaba”, “CLWD Operations”), a Delaware corporation, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), WebTegrity, Inc., a Texas corporation, Data Propria, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Giles Design Bureau, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are $45,613 and $6,184 respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, we included $262,571, ($4,308), and ($35,091), respectively, in expense related to balances that were written off as bad debt. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2017, the company collected balances that were previously written off, resulting in negative expense during those periods.

On October 19, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement whereby accounts receivable amounts due from our customers to Parscale Digital were pledged to a third party. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may receive advances in amounts up to $500,000, based on the amounts we invoice our customers, for a period of one year. Because the Company maintains the collectability risk of all outstanding balances, we record the customer balances at fair value in accounts receivable, including an allowance for any balances at risk of collectability, and the amount due to the third party as a liability. On April 12, 2018, the Company amended the secured borrowing arrangement, which increased the maximum allowable balance by $250,000, to a total of $750,000. As of December 31, 2018, the balance due from this arrangement was $102,988.

On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into agreements whereby accounts receivable amounts due from our customers to Giles Design Bureau, WebTegrity and Data Propria were pledged to a third party. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company may receive advances in amounts up to $150,000, $150,000 and $600,000, respectively, based on the amounts we invoice our customers, for a period of one year. Because the Company maintains the collectability risk of all outstanding balances, we record the customer balances at fair value in accounts receivable, including an allowance for any balances at risk of collectability, and the amount due to the third party as a liability. As of December 31, 2018, the balance due from these arrangements was $321,106 and zero, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful account receivable, fair value assumptions in accounting for business combinations and analyzing goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from professional services and site development fees. We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations includes digital advertising revenue. We also offer professional services such as development services.  The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 606, which are recognized as the work is performed. Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved. If we have performed work for our clients, but have not invoiced clients for that work, then we record the value of the work in an asset in costs in excess of billings. The terms of services contracts generally are for periods of less than one year. The deferred revenue and customer deposits as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,081,570 and $620,504, respectively. See footnote 3 for a disclosure of our use of estimates and judgement, as it relates to revenue recognition.

We always strive to satisfy our customers by providing superior quality and service. Since we typically bill based on a Time and Materials basis, there are no returns for work delivered. When discrepancies or disagreements arise, we do our best to reconcile those by assessing the situation on a case-by-case basis and determining if any discounts can be given. Historically, no significant discounts have been granted.

Included in revenue are costs that are reimbursed by our clients, including third party services, such as photographers and stylists, furniture, supplies, and the largest component, digital advertising. We have determined, based on our review, that the amounts classified as reimbursable costs should be recorded as gross, due to the following factors:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, we included $3,870,291, $1,472,565, and zero, respectively, in revenue, related to reimbursable costs.

The Company records revenue into the following five categories:

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (unaudited), revenue was disaggregated into the five categories as follows:

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were zero for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $35,758, $17,407, and $5,854, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company’s notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.

Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability, between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company had no assets or liabilities that are required to be valued on a recurring basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

The following table discloses fixed asset transactions and recordings during the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

Business Combinations

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair value, at the acquisition date, of assets received, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Any costs directly attributable to the business combination are expensed in the period incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2018 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2017 and determined there was impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill from our Indaba acquisition. Accordingly, all intangible assets and goodwill related to the Indaba acquisition has been written off, amounting to $1,239,796. This amount is included in Operating Expenses on the Income Statement, for the six months ended December 31, 2017. An impairment assessment

was conducted during the year ended December 31, 2018 and determined that no impairment of intangible assets or goodwill was necessary.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

The Company operates in a single industry segment. The Company markets its services to companies and individuals in many industries and geographic locations. The Company’s operations are subject to rapid technological advancement and intense competition. Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk. The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its enterprise customers and other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to terminate services. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $116,312, which was held in the operating bank accounts. Of this amount, none was held in any one account, in amounts exceeding the FDIC insured limit of $250,000. For further discussion on concentrations see footnote 13.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of operations.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018, included compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2018 based on the grant date fair value estimated. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest or has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017 were $479,182, $275,319, and $502,000, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Calculations

Income (Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The shares for employee options, warrants and convertible notes were used in the calculation of the income per share.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has excluded 151,475,799 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Series E Preferred shares convertible into 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 40,292,850 shares of common stock underlying $285,363 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company has excluded 134,800,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, 14,425 Series C Preferred shares convertible into 144,250,000 shares of common stock, 90,000 Series D Preferred shares convertible into 225,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Series E Preferred shares convertible into 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 24,253,220 shares of common stock underlying $97,013 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company has excluded 123,000,000 shares of common stock underlying options, 10,000 Series A Preferred shares convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 18,025 Series B Preferred shares convertible into 450,625,000 shares of common stock, and 23,421,500 shares of common stock underlying $93,686 in convertible notes, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method if their effect would be dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

  Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the year ended December 31, 2018, and the following pronouncements were adopted during the period.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company follows paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09, adopting the pronouncements on January 1, 2018. The company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when services are performed to such a degree that the performed service is delivered or deliverable to the client, or when a tangible item, such as interior décor or signage, is delivered to the client. Since the Company was already recognizing revenue in a manner consistent with paragraph 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, there was no material impact on prior year results.

ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing guidance on revenue recognition with a five-step model for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires a number of disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flows. The guidance can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance at the date of initial adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. The timing and measurement of revenue recognition under the new standard is not materially different than under the old standard. The adoption of the new standard had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all of their leases, other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, leases must be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense, similar to current operating leases, while finance leases will result in a front-loaded pattern, similar to current capital leases. We are in the process of implementing changes to our systems and processes in conjunction with our review of existing lease agreements. We will adopt Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and expect to elect certain available transitional practical expedients.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we used the federal tax rate of 21% in our determination of the deferred tax assets and liabilities balances.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law by the President of the United States. TCJA is a tax reform act that among other things, reduced corporate tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates in the year of enactment, which is the year in which the change was signed into law. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018, using the new corporate tax rate of 21 percent.

3.       REVENUE RECOGNITION

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 includes the following five criteria:

Contract with our customers may be oral, written, or implied. A written and signed contract stating the terms and conditions is the preferred method and is consistent with most customers. The terms of a written contract may be contained within the body of an email, during which proposals are made and campaign plans are outlined, or it may be a stand-alone document signed by both parties. Contracts that are oral in nature are consummated in status and pitch meetings and may be later followed up with email detail of the terms of the arrangement, along with a proposal document. No work is commenced without an understanding between the Company and our customers, that a valid contract exists.

Our sales and account management teams define the scope of services to be offered, to ensure all parties are in agreement and obligations are being delivered to the customer as promised. The performance obligation may not be fully identified in a mutually signed contract, but may be outlined in email correspondence, face-to-face meetings, additional proposals or scopes of work, or phone conversations.

Pricing is discussed and identified by the operations team prior to submitting a proposal to the customer. Based on the obligation presented, third-party service pricing is established, and time and labor is estimated, to determine the most accurate transaction pricing for our customer. Price is subject to change upon agreed parties, and could be fixed or variable, milestone focused or T&M.

If a contract involves multiple obligations, the transaction pricing is allocated accordingly, during the performance obligation phase (criteria 2 above).

The Company uses several means to satisfy the performance obligations:

The Company generates income from four main revenue streams: data science, creative design, web development, digital marketing, and other. Each revenue stream is unique, and includes the following features:

Data Science

We analyze big data (large volume of information) to reveal patterns and trends associated with human behavior and interactions that can lead to better decisions and strategic business moves. As a result of our data science work, our clients are able to make informed and valuable decisions to positively impact their bottom lines. We classify revenue as data science that includes polling, research, modeling, data fees, consulting and reporting. Contracts are generated to assure both the Company and the client are committed to partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions and are typically less than one year. Transaction pricing is usually a lump sum, which is estimated by specific project requirements. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met, including, when the data sciences service is performed, polling is conducted, or support hours are expended. If the data sciences service is a fixed fee retainer, then the obligation is earned at the end of the period, regardless of how much service is performed.

Creative Design

We provide branding and creative design services which set apart our clients from their competitors and establish themselves in their specific market. We believe in showcasing our client’s brand uniquely and creatively to infuse the public with curiosity to learn more. We classify revenue as creative design that includes branding, photography, copyrighting, printing, signs and interior design. Contracts are generated to assure both the company and the client are committed to partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions and are typically less than one year. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met, usually when

creative design services obligations are complete, when the hours are recorded, designs are presented, website themes are complete, or any other criteria as mutually agreed.

Web Development

We develop websites that attract high levels of traffic for our clients. We offer our clients the expertise to manage and protect their website, and the agility to adjust their online marketing strategy as their business expands. We classify revenue as web development that includes website coding, website patch installs, ongoing development support and fixing inoperable sites. Contracts are generated to assure both the company and the client are committed to the partnership and both agree to the defined terms and conditions. Although most projects are long-term (6-8 months) in scope, we do welcome short-term projects which are invoiced as the work is completed at a specified hourly rate. In addition, we offer monthly hosting support packages, which ensures websites are functioning properly. The Company records web development revenue as earned, when the developer hours are recorded (if T&M arrangements) or when the milestones are achieved (if a milestone arrangement).

Digital Marketing

We have a reputation for providing digital marketing services that get results. Whether presenting a vibrant but simple message about our clients that will enlighten their audience or deploying an influential digital marketing political campaign across one or multiple social media platforms, our marketing strategist are poised to execute and deliver valuable marketing results to our clients. We classify revenue as digital marketing that includes ad spend, SEO management and digital ad support. Billable hours and advertising spending are estimated based on client specific needs and subject to change with client concurrence. Revenue is recognized when ads are run on one of the third-party platforms or when the hours are recorded by the digital marketing specialist, if the obligation relates to support or services.

Other

We offer services that do not fit into the other four categories but rely heavily on the “other” services to provide the entire support package for our clients. Included in this category are domain name management, account management, web hosting, client training, and partner commissions. Revenue is recognized for these services as the service is performed (such as account management or training) or during the month in which the service was provided (such as hosting, partner commissions and domain name registration).

Included in creative design and digital marketing revenues are costs that are reimbursed by our clients, including third party services, such as photographers and stylists, furniture, supplies, and the largest component, digital advertising. We have determined, based on our review, that the amounts classified as reimbursable costs should be recorded as gross (principal), due to the following factors:

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we included $3,870,291 and $1,606,905 respectively, in revenue, related to reimbursable costs.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, revenue was disaggregated into the five categories as follows:

4.    LIQUIDITY AND OPERATIONS

The Company had net loss of $2,870,013, $2,486,114, and $2,042,504, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of $344,407, $990,053, and $867,850, for the same periods, respectively.

While the Company expects that its capital needs in the foreseeable future may be met by cash-on-hand and projected positive cash-flow, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate enough positive cash flow or have sufficient capital to finance its growth and business operations, or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. In the current financial environment, it could become difficult for the Company to obtain working capital and other business financing.  There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain additional working capital through the sale of its securities or from any other source.

5. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Indaba Group, LLC

On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Indaba Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. As of that date, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Warp 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with Indaba Group, LLC and the name of the combined subsidiary was changed to Indaba Group, Inc. (“Indaba”). The total purchase price of two million dollars ($2,000,000) was paid in the form of the issuance of ten thousand (10,000) shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of two hundred dollars ($200) per share and payment of working capital surplus in the amount of $55,601. As of the date of closing, Ryan Shields and Blake Gindi, two of the owners of Indaba Group, LLC, were appointed to the CloudCommerce Board of Directors. On June 23, 2017, Mr. Shields and Mr. Gindi resigned as members of the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2017, neither Mr. Shields nor Mr. Gindi was an employee of the Company.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $2,000,000, which was the fair value of Indaba at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Indaba were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Since the Company determined there were no other separately identifiable intangible assets, any difference between the cost of the acquired entity and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we determined that the goodwill and intangibles related to the Indaba acquisition were impaired. Therefore, all remaining indefinite and finite-lived intangibles, and goodwill were written off. The amount of the write off, included in operating expenses was $1,239,796.

Parscale Creative, Inc.

On August 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Parscale Creative, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Creative”). As of that date, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parscale Digital”), merged with Parscale Creative, and the name of the combined

subsidiary was changed to Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $7,945,000, was paid in the form of the issuance of ninety thousand (90,000) shares of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share, plus dividend payments based on 5% of adjusted revenue of Parscale Digital. Adjusted revenue is defined as total revenue, minus digital marketing media buys. Based on the growth of the Parscale Digital, the actual amount of the dividend payments is estimated to be in the range of $850,000 and $1,300,000, over 36 months, if we achieve 0.5% to 3% monthly adjusted revenue growth. The dividend payments are recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we paid $102,610 and $106,259, respectively, related to the Series D Convertible Preferred dividend. As of the date of closing, Brad Parscale, the 100% owner of Parscale Creative, was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company assumed net liabilities of $535,000, related to this acquisition.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $7,945,000, which was the fair value of Parscale Creative at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Parscale Creative were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation consisted of the following:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that, due to the Company never having paid federal income taxes and having a large net operating loss (NOL), it is unlikely we will pay federal income taxes in the foreseeable future. This change in estimate resulted in the Company removing the deferred tax liability from the purchase price of Parscale Creative, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2018, this change in estimate resulted in a reduction of deferred tax liability to zero and goodwill to $3,645,000, or reductions of $1,075,000 to each.

WebTegrity, LLC

On November 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of WebTegrity. As of that date, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation, merged with WebTegrity and the name of the combined subsidiary remained unchanged as Parscale Digital. On April 16, 2018, we organized WebTegrity as a Nevada corporation, and split WebTegrity from Parscale Digital. The total purchase price of $900,000, was paid in the form of the issuance of ten thousand (10,000) shares of the Company's Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of one hundred dollars ($100) per share.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $900,000, which was the fair value of WebTegrity at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of WebTegrity were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation consisted of the following:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that, due to the Company never having paid federal income taxes and having a large net operating loss (NOL), it is unlikely we will pay federal income taxes in the foreseeable future. This change in estimate resulted in the Company removing the deferred tax liability from the purchase price of WebTegrity, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2018, this change in estimate resulted in a reduction of deferred tax liability to zero and goodwill to $430,000, or reductions of $100,000 to each.

Parscale Media, LLC

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Brad Parscale, to purchase Parscale Media, LLC, a website hosting business, formed under the laws of Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Parscale $1,000,000 in cash, upon closing the transaction, but in no event later than January 1, 2018.

On February 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended purchase agreement which provided for the issuance of a promissory note to Mr. Parscale as consideration for the acquisition, under which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Parscale $1,000,000 in twelve equal installments, and interest of 4% on the promissory note (the “Parscale Media Note”). For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made total payments of $350,600 on the promissory note, which includes $11,693 of interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we included $12,859 in interest expense related to this liability. On November 20, 2018, the Company exchanged the remaining balance of the Parscale Media Note for an equal amount owed by Mr. Parscale to the Company. As of November 20, 2018, the balance on the Parscale Media Note was zero.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that, due to the Company never having paid federal income taxes and having a large net operating loss (NOL), it is unlikely we will pay federal income taxes in the foreseeable future. This change in estimate resulted in the Company removing the deferred tax liability from the purchase price of Parscale Media, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2018, this change in estimate resulted in a reduction of deferred tax liability to zero and goodwill to $500,000, or reductions of $125,000 to each.

The above Parscale Creative, WebTegrity, and Parscale Media acquisitions are based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, and include identifiable intangible assets, which were based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price required management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to identifiable intangible assets. These estimated fair values were based on information obtained from management of the acquired companies and historical experience and, with respect to the long-lived tangible and intangible assets, were made with the assistance of an independent valuation firm.

Pro forma results

The following tables set forth the unaudited pro forma results of the Company as if the acquisitions of Parscale Creative and WebTegrity had taken place on the first day of the period presented. These combined results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may have been achieved had the companies been combined as of the first day of the period presented.

This pro forma financial information is based on historical results of operations, adjusted for the allocation of the purchase price and other acquisition accounting adjustments, and is not indicative of what our results would have been had we operated the businesses since the beginning of the annual period presented.

6.       INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company conducted an impairment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018 and determined that based on qualitative factors that no impairment was necessary for any intangible asset or goodwill.

Domain Name

On June 26, 2015, the Company purchased the rights to the domain “CLOUDCOMMERCE.COM”, from a private party at a purchase price of $20,000, plus transaction costs of $202, which will be used as the main landing page for the Company. The total recorded cost of this domain of $20,202 has been included in other assets on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, we have determined that this domain has an indefinite useful life, and as such, is not included in depreciation and amortization expense. The Company will assess this intangible asset annually for impairment, in addition to it being classified with indefinite useful life.

Trademark

On September 22, 2015, the Company purchased the trademark rights of “CLOUDCOMMERCE”, from a private party at a purchase price of $10,000.

Therefore, as of September 30, 2015, we determined that this intangible asset has a definite useful life of 174 months, and as such, will be included in depreciation and amortization expense. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the six months ended December 31, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company included $690, $345, and $690, respectively, in depreciation and amortization expense related to this trademark.

On October 1, 2015, the Company acquired Indaba from three members of the limited liability company. At that time, we retained two of the members, who currently serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Indaba. Both employees have non-compete agreements in place to protect the Company against the risk of either employee leaving Indaba to compete directly with us. We have calculated the value of those non-compete agreements at $201,014, with a useful life of two years, which coincides with the term of the non-compete agreement. This amount was included in depreciation and amortization expense until September 30, 2017.

Therefore, we have written off the remaining balance during the period, totaling $111,793. As of December 31, 2017, the balance is zero. This non-compete agreement was fully amortized as of December 31, 2017.

11.       STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Options

On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for directors, executive officers, and employees of and key consultants to the Company. Pursuant to the now terminated plan, the Company could issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan was administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, and options granted under the plan could be either incentive options or nonqualified options. Each option was exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan or of any option agreement, each option expired on the date specified in the option agreement, which date was to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an incentive option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each incentive option was to be no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the fair market value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each nonqualified option was to be specified by the Board at the time the option is granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date such nonqualified option was granted, but was to be no less than the par value of shares of common stock. The plan provided specific language as to the termination of options granted thereunder.

The following options were issued outside of the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan:

On August 1, 2017, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to a key employee, at a price of $0.01 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire August 1, 2022. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise. If the optionee exercises on a cashless basis, then the above water value (difference between the option price and the fair market price at the time of exercise) is used to purchase shares of common stock. Under this method, the number of shares of common stock issued will be less than the number of options used to obtain those shares of common stock. On September 30, 2018, the employee exercised, on a cashless basis, 3,324,201 options, resulting in 1,233,509 shares of common stock.

On September 18, 2017, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of our common stock to three key employees, at a price of $0.05 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire September 18, 2022. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise.

On January 3, 2018, we granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to three key employees, at a price of $0.04 per share. The stock options vest equally over a period of 36 months and expire January 3, 2023. These options allow the optionee to exercise on a cashless basis, resulting in no cash payment to the company upon exercise.

The Company used the historical industry index to calculate volatility, since the Company’s stock history did not represent the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, were determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions:
