SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND
OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective products, applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of anticipated products; anticipated expenses; and projected financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

●

our ability to continue as a going concern;

●

our operating expenses exceed our revenues and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future;

●

our ability to obtain additional capital, which may be difficult to raise as a result of our limited operating history or any number of other reasons;

●

our ability to provide digital content that is useful to users;

●

our ability to retain existing users or add new users;

●

competition from traditional media companies;

●

general economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us and our users; and

●

other factors discussed in this Form 10-Q.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make or collaborations or strategic partnerships we may enter into.

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Creatd,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Creatd, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Operations

Creatd, Inc., formerly Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Creatd”), is a technology company focused on providing economic opportunities for creators, which it accomplishes through its four main business pillars: Creatd Labs, Creatd Partners, Creatd Ventures, and Creatd Studios.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other interim period or for any other future year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve, and impairment of intellectual property.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation

During 2021, we adopted a change in presentation on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in order to present a gross profit line and allocate certain overhead expenses, the presentation of which is consistent with our peers. Under the new presentation, we began allocating overhead expenses related to cost of goods sold. Prior periods have been revised to reflect this change in presentation.

Principles of consolidation

The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:

Name of combined affiliate	State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization	Company Ownership Interest

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements include Denver Bodega, LLC activity since March 7, 2022, Orbit Media LLC activity since August 1, 2022, and Brave Foods, LLC activity since September 13, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities

Management performs an ongoing assessment of its noncontrolling interests from investments in unrelated entities to determine if those entities are variable interest entities (VIEs), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. If an entity in such a transaction, by design, meets the definition of a VIE and the Company determines that it, or a condensed consolidated subsidiary is the primary beneficiary, the Company will include the VIE in its condensed consolidated financial statements. If such an entity is deemed to not be condensed consolidated, the Company records only its investment in equity securities as a marketable security or investment under the equity method, as applicable

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

●

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

●

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

●

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Company’s Level 1 assets/liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, marketable trading securities, accounts payable, marketable trading securities, prepaid and other current assets, line of credit and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at September 30, 2022 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.

The Company’s Level 2 assets/liabilities include certain of the Company’s notes payable. Their carrying value approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt given the level of risk to the rates and terms of similar debt currently available to the Company in the marketplace.

The Company’s Level 3 assets/liabilities include goodwill, intangible assets, equity investments at cost, and derivative liabilities. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.

The following tables provides a summary of the relevant assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fair Value Measurements as of

September 30, 2022

	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1)		Quoted Prices for Similar Assets or Liabilities in Active Markets (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Marketable securities - equity securities	$	96	$	96	$	-	$	-
Total assets	$	96	$	96	$	-	$	-

Our marketable equity securities are publicly traded stocks measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Marketable equity securities as of September 30, 2022 are $96.

The change in net realized depreciation on equity trading securities that has been included in other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $11,646 and $0, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or Financial Claims Scheme (“FCS”) insurable limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. The uninsured cash balance as of September 30, 2022, was $0. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

The Company operates in Australia and holds total assets of $622,445. It is reasonably possible that operations located outside an entity’s home country will be disrupted in the near term.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

		Estimated Useful Life (Years)

Computer equipment and software		3
Furniture and fixtures		5

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Long-lived Assets Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

We evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment, acquired finite-lived intangible assets and, purchased infinite life digital assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from the use and eventual disposition. Digital assets accounted for as intangible assets are subject to impairment losses if the fair value of digital assets decreases other than temporary below the carrying value. The fair value is measured using the quoted price of the crypto asset at the time its fair value is being measured. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $249,586 for intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $257,117 for intangible assets.

Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We routinely review the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If we change the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life. The remaining weighted average life of the intangible assets are 7.1 years.

Scheduled amortization over the next five years are as follows:

Twelve months ending September 30,

2023	$	415,215
2024		443,236
2025		280,223
2026		260,935
2027		239,934
Thereafter		739,762
Total		2,379,305

Intangible assets not subject to amortization		157,294
Total Intangible Assets	$	2,536,599

Amortization expense was $94,130 and $75,069 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization expense was $355,509 and $143,776 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASC Topic 350”). The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal December each year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company has four reporting units. The Company uses an income-based approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. This approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology and the ability of our reporting units to generate cash flows as measures of fair value of our reporting units.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. The Company performed the qualitative assessment as permitted by ASC 350-20 and determined for three of its reporting units that the fair value of those reporting units was more likely than not greater than their carrying value, including Goodwill. However, based on this qualitative assessment, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Seller’s Choice reporting unit was more likely than not greater than its carrying value, including Goodwill. Based on completion of the annual impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,035,795 for goodwill.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, management observed impairment indicators that led them to believe the carrying amount of goodwill was below its carrying value. The Company determined that the carrying value of the Plant Camp and Dune reporting units were more likely than not greater than their carrying value, including Goodwill. Based on estimated impairment computed, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $25,139 for goodwill.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

	For the Three Months ended September 30, 2022
	Total
As of July 1, 2022	$	1,383,785

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the periods. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which are included in operating expenses, have not been significant in any period presented.

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.

The Company utilizes a binomial option model for convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application of the Binomial model included a stock price on valuation date, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, and a risk-free rate. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as cost of revenue.

Revenue Recognition

Under Topic 606, revenue is 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.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

●

identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

●

identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Agency Revenue

Managed Services

The Company provides Studio/Agency Service offerings to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) product and service brands which encompasses a full range of digital marketing and e-commerce solutions. The Company’s services include the setup and ongoing management of clients’ websites, Amazon and Shopify storefronts and listings, social media pages, search engine marketing, and other various tools and sales channels utilized by e-commerce sellers for sales and growth optimization. Contracts are broken into three categories: Partners, Monthly Services, and Projects. Contract amounts for Partner and Monthly Services clients range from approximately $500-$7,500 per month while Project amounts vary depending on the scope of work. Partner and Monthly clients are billed monthly for the work completed within that month. Partner Clients may or may not have an additional billing component referred to as Sales Performance Fee, which is a fee based upon a previously agreed upon percentage point of the client’s total sales for the month. Some Partners may also have projects within their contracts that get billed and recognized as agreed upon project milestones are achieved. Revenue is recognized over time as service obligations and milestones in the contract are met.

Branded Content

Branded content represents the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to create and publish branded articles and/or branded challenges for clients on the Vocal platform and promote said stories, tracking engagement for the client. In the case of branded articles, the performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully publishes the articles on its platform and meets any required promotional milestones as per the contract. In the case of branded challenges, the performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully closes the challenge and winners have been announced. The Company utilizes the completed contract method when revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and any required milestones are met. Certain contracts contain separate milestones whereas the Company separates its performance obligations and utilizes the stand-alone selling price method and residual method to determine the estimate of the allocation of the transaction price.

Below are the significant components of a typical agreement pertaining to branded content revenue:

	●	The Company collects fixed fees ranging from $10,000 to $110,000, with branded challenges ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 and branded articles ranging from $2,500 to $7,500 per article.

	●	Branded articles are created and published, and challenges are completed, within three months of the signed agreement, or as previously negotiated with the client.

	●	Branded articles and challenges are promoted per the contract and engagement reports are provided to the client.

	●	Most contracts include provisions for clients to acquire content rights at the end of the campaign for a flat fee.

Talent Management Services

Talent Management represents the revenue recognized by WHE Agency, Inc. (“WHE”) from the Company’s obligation to manage and oversee influencer-led campaigns from the contract negotiation stage through content creation and publication. WHE acts in an agent capacity for influencers and collects a management fee of 20% of the value of an influencer’s contract with a brand. Revenue is recognized net of the 80% of the contract that is collected by the influencer and is recognized when performance obligations of the contract are met. Performance obligations are complete when milestones and deliverables of contracts are delivered to the client.

Below are the significant components of a typical agreement pertaining to talent management revenue:

●

Total gross contracts range from $500-$50,000.

●

The Company collects fixed fees in the amount of 20% of the gross contract amount, ranging from $100 to $20,000 in net revenue per contract.

●

The campaign is created and made live by the influencer within the timeframe specified in the contract.

●

Campaigns are promoted per the contract and the customer is provided a link to the live deliverables on the influencer’s social media channels.

●

Most billing for contracts occur 100% at execution of the performance obligation. Net payment terms vary by client.

Platform Revenue

Creator Subscriptions

Vocal+ is a premium subscription offering for Vocal creators. In addition to joining for free, Vocal creators now have the option to sign up for a Vocal+ membership for either $9.99 monthly or $99 annually, though these amounts are subject to promotional discounts and free trials. Vocal+ subscribers receive access to value-added features such as increased rate of cost per mille (thousand) (“CPM”) monetization, a decreased minimum withdrawal threshold, a discount on platform processing fees, member badges for their profiles, access to exclusive Vocal+ Challenges, and early access to new Vocal features. Subscription revenues stem from both monthly and annual subscriptions, the latter of which is amortized over a twelve-month period. Any customer payments received are recognized over the subscription period, with any payments received in advance being deferred until they are earned.

The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mille basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners. Potential revenue offset is calculated by reviewing a subscriber’s earnings in conjunction with payments made by the subscriber on a monthly and/or annual basis.

Affiliate Sales Revenue

Affiliate sales represents the commission the Company receives when a purchase is made through affiliate links placed within content hosted on the Vocal platform. Affiliate revenue is earned on a “click through” basis, upon referring visitors, via said links, to an affiliate’s site and having them complete a specific outcome, most commonly a product purchase. The Company uses multiple affiliate platforms, such as Skimlinks, Amazon, and Tune, to form and maintain thousands of vendor relationships. Each vendor establishes their own commission percentage, which typically range from 2-20%. The revenue is recognized upon receipt as reliable estimates could not be made.

E-Commerce Revenue

The Company’s e-commerce businesses are housed under Creatd Ventures, and currently consists of four majority-owned e-commerce companies, Camp (previously Plant Camp), Dune Glow Remedy (“Dune”), Basis, and Brave. The Company generates revenue through the sale of Camp, Dune, and Basis, and Brave’s consumer products through its e-commerce distribution channels. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon shipment of product to its customers and recognizes shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost. Customers have 30 days from receipt of an item to return unopened, unused, or damaged items for a full refund. All returns are processed within the relevant recording period and accounted for as a reduction in revenue. The Company runs discounts from time to time to promote sales, improve market penetration, and increase customer retention. Any discounts are run as coupon codes applied at the time of transaction and accounted for as a reduction in gross revenue. The Company assesses variable consideration using the most likely amount method.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of billings and payments from clients in advance of revenue recognition. The Company has two types of deferred revenue, subscription revenue whereas the revenue is recognized over the subscription period and contract liabilities where the performance obligation was not satisfied. The Company will recognize the deferred revenue within the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had deferred revenue of $305,555. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred revenue of $234,159, of which $159,727 was recognized as revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $13,512 was recognized as revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried when the Company has performed the work in accordance with managed services, project, partner, consulting and branded content agreements. For example, we bill a managed service client monthly when we have updated their Amazon store, modified SEO or completed the other services listed in the agreement. For projects and branded content, we will bill the client and record the receivable once milestones are reached that are set in the agreement. We make estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $124,186, as a bad debt expense. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $311,133. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $186,147.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. Inventories are periodically evaluated to identify obsolete or otherwise impaired products and are written off when management determines usage is not probable. The Company estimates the balance of excess and obsolete inventory by analyzing inventory by age using last used and original purchase date and existing sales pipeline for which the inventory could be used. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no valuation allowance.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments granted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation over the requisite service period of the award. The company has a relatively low forfeiture rate of stock based compensation and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods.

The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is volatility is derived from the Company’s historical data over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially different in the future. The Company issues awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock units, to employees and certain non-employee directors. Compensation expense related to these awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the service period, defined as the vesting period. The vesting period is generally one to three years. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock units. Compensation expense is reduced for actual forfeitures as they occur.

Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company had the following common stock equivalents at September 30, 2022 and 2021:

	September 30,
	2022		2021
Series E preferred		121		148
Options		4,408,267		2,327,445
Warrants		20,429,630		6,558,705
Convertible notes		32,215,486		228,334
Totals		57,053,504		9,114,632

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the prior period’s total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ deficit, net loss or net cash used in operating activities. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we adopted a change in presentation on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in order to present a gross profit line, the presentation of which is consistent with our peers. Under the new presentation, we began allocating payroll and related expenses, professional services and creator payouts. Prior periods have been revised to reflect this change in presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In May 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. (ASU 2021-04), “Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). This guidance’s amendments provide measurement, recognition, and disclosure guidance for an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The updated guidance, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $63,064 from the modification of warrants.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU-2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. On October 16, 2019, FASB approved a final ASU delaying the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for small reporting companies to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations and currently does not know or cannot reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive changes from the amendments. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the guidance will affect disclosures and estimates around accounts receivable.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (Topic 842), Which requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate (hereafter referred to as “variable payments”) as an operating lease on the commencement date of the lease if specified criteria are met. ASU 2021-05 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company expects that there would be no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this ASU.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations — Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805), Which aims to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in recognition and payment terms that effect subsequent revenue recognition. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company expects that there would be no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this ASU.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $133.8 million, a net loss of $25.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of $13.9 million for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The COVID-19 coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial impact will be to the Company, capital raising efforts and our operations may be negatively affected.

The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues; however, its cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its debt or equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on reasonable terms, or at all. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Litigation

On or about June 25, 2020, Home Revolution, LLC (“Home Revolution”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Home Revolution, LLC, et al. v. Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 2:20-cv-07775-JMV-MF. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that Creatd, Inc. breached the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, as modified, and ancillary transaction documents in connection with the acquisition of Seller’s Choice, LLC, from Home Revolution in September 2019. The Complaint additionally alleges violation of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, violations of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, fraud, equitable accounting, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. Plaintiff also sought to have a receiver appointed by the Court to take over Creatd’s operations. After substantial motion practice, Creatd successfully settled this dispute from June 2020 for a total of $799,000, which includes $660,000 of note principal and $139,000 of accrued interest. The matter has been dismissed as of March 3, 2022.

On or about August 30, 2021, Robert W. Monster and Anonymize, Inc. (“Monster”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle, Robert W. Monster, et al. v. Creatd, Inc., et al. (Western District of Washington at Seattle 2:21-CV-1177). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that action for Declaratory Judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 that Monster’s registration and use of the internet domain name VOCL.COM (the “Domain Name”) does not violate Creatd’s rights under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (“ACPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d), or otherwise under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq. Creatd claims trademark rights and certain other rights with respect to the term and the domain name VOCL.COM. Monster seeks a determination by the Court that Monster’s registration and/or use of VOCL.COM is not, and has not been in violation of the ACPA, and that Plaintiffs’ use of VOCL.COM constitutes neither a violation of the ACPA nor trademark infringement or dilution under the Lanham Act. Creatd believes the lawsuit lacks merit and will vigorously challenge the action. At this time, we are unable to estimate potential damage exposure, if any, related to the litigation.

A complaint against the Company, dated September 21, 2022, has been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, by Lind Global Macro Fund LP and Lind Global Fund II LP, making certain claims alleging breach of contract related to two Securities Purchase Agreements executed on May 31, 2022, seeking damages in excess of $920,000. No response to the Complaint has been filed at this time. The Company has not yet submitted a response to the Complaint or had the opportunity to conduct discovery as to the allegations. The Company will file an initial response on or before November 18, 2022. Given the premature nature of this case, it is still too early for the Company to make an assessment as to liability.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law.

We do not expect the Corporate AMT to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the IRA imposes a 1% excise tax on net repurchases of stock by certain publicly traded corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the value of the net stock repurchased or treated as repurchased. The new law will apply to stock repurchases occurring after December 31, 2022.

The purchase price of the Shares under the Investment Agreement is equal to 82% of the lowest volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the last ten trading days after the Company delivers to the Investor a Put notice (a “Drawdown Notice”) in writing requiring Investor to purchase shares of the Company, subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement.

On October 20, 2022, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor on that date a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $300,000 in exchange for a purchase price of $255,000, which the Investor funded on October 20,2022. The proceeds of the Note will be used by the Company for general working capital purposes.

The Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Starting on the fifth month anniversary of the funding of the Note, and for the next six months thereafter, the Company will make seven equal monthly payments of $47,142.85 to the Investor.

On October 20, 2022, in connection with the entry by the Company and the Investor into the economic agreements, (i.e., the Investment Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Note and the funding thereof), the Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock to the Investor.

This Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Creatd, Inc. (the “Company”), from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on April 6, 2022.

Overview

Creatd, Inc. provides economic opportunities to creators and brands by multiplying the impact of platforms, technology, and people.

The Company has four main revenue lines, all directly related to its flagship technology platform, Vocal. The business lines complement one another, creating a flywheel effect. Working together, they provide shared data and resources to holistically leverage and organically grow the Company. Revenues are generated from creator subscriptions, consumer product sales, branded content, and IP development.

Creator-Centric Strategy

Creatd’s north star metric is to empower creators by providing best-in-class tools, supportive communities, and opportunities for monetization and audience expansion. This creator-first approach is the foundation of our culture and mission.

Creator Subscriptions

Creatd’s most scalable stream of revenues are derived from its flagship technology platform, Vocal.

Vocal was built to serve as a home base for creators. This robust, proprietary technology platform provides digital tools and resources, safe and curated communities, and monetization opportunities that enable creators to find a receptive audience and be rewarded for their content. Creators of all types call Vocal their home, from bloggers to social media influencers, to podcasters, founders, musicians, photographers, and more.

Since its initial launch in 2016, Vocal has grown to over 1.5 million registered creators and is one of the premier technology platforms for content creators of all shapes and sizes. Creators can opt to use Vocal for free, or upgrade to the premium membership tier, Vocal+. Upon joining Vocal, either as a freemium or premium member, creators can immediately begin to utilize Vocal’s storytelling tools to create and publish their stories, as well as benefit from Vocal’s monetization features. Creatd facilitates creators’ monetization on Vocal in many ways, including i) rewarding creators for each ‘read’ their story receives; ii) via Vocal Challenges, or writing contests through which creators can win cash and other rewards; iii) by awarding Bonuses; iv) by connecting creators with brands for opportunities to collaborate on Vocal for Brands branded content campaigns; v) through ’Subscribe,’ which enables creators to receive payment directly from their audience via monthly subscriptions and one-off microtransactions; vi) via Vocal’s Ambassador Program, which enables creators to receive additional rewards whenever they refer a new Vocal+ member. The Vocal app is available for both iOS and Android on the Apple App store and the Google Play store.

Vocal’s proprietary technology is built on Keystone, the same underlying open-source framework used by industry leaders in the software as a service (SaaS) space. Some of the differentiating elements of Vocal’s technology are speed, sustainability, and scalability. The Company continues to invest heavily in research and development to continuously improve and innovate its platform, with the goal of optimizing the user experience for creators, brands and their audiences. Additionally, the Vocal platform and its underlying technology maintain an advantageous capital-light infrastructure. By using cloud service providers and data segment specialists, we are able to focus on building the platform, community, and revenue rather than building and maintaining the costly internal infrastructures that have materially affected so many legacy media platforms.

Vocal’s technology has been specifically designed to significantly scale without a material corresponding increase in operational costs. While our users can embed rich media, such as video, audio, and product links, into their Vocal stories, the rich media content is hosted elsewhere (such as YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, Shopify, and Spotify). The Vocal platform can accommodate content of all kinds without bearing the financial or operational costs associated with hosting the media itself. Creatd maintains a number of partnerships and initiatives with the primary content distribution and hosting platforms. In addition to the benefits this framework affords to the Company, it provides the additional benefit to our content creators, in that a creator can increase their monetization; for example, a creator can embed their YouTube video into a Vocal story and thus derive earnings from both platforms when their video is viewed.

Consumer Products Group

Creatd’s portfolio of internally owned and operated e-commerce businesses and associated technology and infrastructure make up the majority of the company’s second most scalable revenue line. The Company supports founders by providing a host of services including design and development, marketing and distribution, and go-to-market strategies. The Company expects to broaden its portfolio through the acquisition of up and coming brands that are aligned and easily consolidated into its shared supply chain, resources, and infrastructure.

This portfolio includes:

●

Camp, a direct-to-consumer (DTC) food brand which creates healthy upgrades to classic comfort food favorites. Each of Camp’s products are created with servings of vegetables and contain Vitamins A, C, D, E, B1 + B6. Since its launch in 2020, Camp continues to add new products to its line of healthy, veggie-based, family-friendly foods, with flavors including Classic Cheddar Mac ‘N’ Cheese, White Cheddar Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Vegan Cheezy Mac, and Twist Veggie Pasta.

●

Dune Glow Remedy (“Dune”), which the Company purchased and brought to market in 2021, is a beverage brand focused on promoting wellness and beauty from within. Each beverage in Dune’s product line is meticulously crafted with functional ingredients that nourish skin from the inside out and enhance one’s natural glow. During 2022, Dune has continued to advance its retail and wholesale distribution strategy, securing numerous partnerships including with lifestyle retailer Urban Outfitters, Equinox, and the Los Angeles-based Erewhon Market.

●

Basis, a hydrating electrolyte drink mix formulated using rehydration therapies developed by the World Health Organization. Acquired by the Company in first quarter 2022, Basis has a history of strong sales volume both on the brand’s website as well as through third-party distribution channels such as Amazon.

●

Brave, a plant-based food company that provides convenient and healthy breakfast food products. On September 13, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Brave Foods, LLC, a Maine limited liability company (“Brave”). What started as a search for a better morning routine evolved into a business serving thousands of go-getters of every type.

Branded Content

The branded content revenue line is driven primarily by its Vocal for Brands offering, the Company’s internal content studio. The business line works with premier brands developing best-in-class organic marketing campaigns. In addition to content creation, the Company generates revenues from its influencer and performance marketing agency opportunities.

Brands have a story to tell. They leverage Vocal’s creator communities to help them tell it. Vocal for Brands’ content marketing studio specializes in pairing leading brands with Vocal creators, as well as discovering new talent and introducing them to the Vocal platform. The branded content business produces marketing campaigns on the platform that are non-interruptive, engaging, and direct-response driven. Additionally, brands can opt to collaborate with Vocal on sponsored Challenges, prompting the creation of thousands of high-quality stories that are centered around the brand’s mission and further disseminated through creators’ respective social channels and promotional outlets. Vocal for Brands campaigns leverage Vocal’s first-party audience insights, which enables the creation of highly targeted, segmented audiences and optimized campaign results.

IP Development and Production

Creatd’s fourth revenue stream is driven by partnering with its top creators to produce stories for TV, film, podcasts, and print. The Vocal platform is perpetually generating intellectual property sourced and curated by a combination of human let moderation and machine learning models. With millions of compelling stories in its midst, Creatd’s Vocal technology surfaces the best candidates for transmedia adaptations, through a deep analysis of community, creator, and audience insights.

In 2022, Creatd announced a series of newly released and upcoming production projects, including:

●

“Write Here, Write Now,” the Company’s first-ever podcast showcasing select Vocal creators and stories; a partnership with UK-based publisher, Unbound, for the publication of books featuring stories sourced from Vocal; the formation of a new graphic novel development arm which in Fall 2022 will release its first title, Steam Wars, created by artist and independent filmmaker Larry Blamire.

●

OG Gallery: The OG Collection is an extensive library of original artwork and imagery from the archives of some of the most iconic magazines of the 20th century. OG Gallery is an exploratory initiative aimed at identifying opportunities to propel the OG Collection into a new technological sphere: the NFT marketplace.

Application of First-Party Data

Creatd’s shared business intelligence and marketing teams identify and target individual creators, communities, and brands, utilizing empirical data harnessed from the Vocal technology platform. The team’s ability to apply its proprietary first-party data works to reduce acquisition costs for new creators and to help provide brands with conversions and an ideal targeted audience. In this way, our ability to apply first-party data is one of the value-drivers for the Company across its four business pillars. The internal teams work across the Company’s portfolio of technology product and service revenue lines.

Creatd uses its first party data to improve the Vocal platform. Specifically, data helps understand the behaviors and attributes that are common among the creators, brands, and audiences within the platform’s ecosystem. Pairing first-party Vocal data with third-party data from distribution platforms such as Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and Snapchat provide a more granular profile of creators, brands, and audiences. It is through generating this valuable first-party data that the Company can continually enrich and refine its targeting capabilities for branded content marketing and creator acquisition, and specifically, to reduce creator acquisition costs (CAC) and subscriber acquisition costs (SAC).

Competitive Advantage

The idea for Vocal came as a response to what Creatd’s founders recognized as systemic flaws inherent to the digital media industry and its operational infrastructures. The depreciating value of digital media business models built on legacy technology platforms that did not efficiently access and apply data, created a unique opportunity for the development of a new type of creator-centric platform. Key to building a platform that could appeal to a global community was utilizing that data to create a win-win proposition for all constituents including creators, audiences and the brands that want to access them. The proprietary nature of Creatd’s technology and its process give the company a competitive advantage in acquiring undervalued technology assets that can be rapidly assimilated into the greater collective, thus exponentially driving future EBITDA.

Creatd’s founders built the Vocal platform upon the general thesis that a closed and safe ecosystem utilizing first-party data to increase efficiencies could create a sustainable and defensible business model. Vocal was strategically developed to provide value for content creators, readers, and brands, and to serve as a home for the ever-increasing amount of digital content being produced and the libraries of digital assets lying dormant.

Acquisition Strategy

Creatd’s hybrid finance and design culture is key to its acquisition strategy. Acquisition targets are companies that meet a set of opportunistic or financial standards or that are part of specific digital environments. Transactions are mainly accretive and targets can seamlessly integrate into Creatd’s existing revenue lines. Creatd will continue to make strategic acquisitions when presented with opportunities that are in the interest of long term shareholder value.

Recent Developments

Securities Purchase Agreement

On September 15, 2022, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with five accredited investors resulting in the raise of $800,000 in gross proceeds to the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to such investors warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 100% of the shares of common stock purchased in the Offering (the “Warrants”). The Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company received gross proceeds from the Offering of approximately $800,000, before deducting Offering expenses, used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Additionally, in connection with the Restructuring Agreement, (i) the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), providing for the filing of a registration statement covering the Restructured Warrants and shares underlying the Warrants by not later than 10 trading days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or the earliest practical date on which the Company is permitted by Commission guidance to file such registration statement; (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), whereby the Company granted a first priority security interest in all of their respective assets to the Holders and (iii) the subsidiaries of the Company delivered a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in favor of the Holders whereby each such subsidiary guaranteed the full payment and performance of all obligations of the Company pursuant to the Debentures.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $25,112,331 and $24,942,247, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities reflects the decrease in net cash used in operating activities reflects a decrease in cash paid for marketing expenditures, research and development, legal fees, and accounting & audit fees. This was offset by an increase in rent and lease expenses and payroll expense.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, was $494,192 and $1,325,155, respectively. This is primarily attributable to cash paid for property and equipment along with the cash paid for minority and majority investment in business.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022, and 2021:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021
Revenue	$	1,022,851		$	1,179,620
Cost of revenue	$	1,404,562		$	1,418,213
Operating expenses	$	(5,595,108	)	$	(6,672,381	)
Loss from operations	$	(5,976,819	)	$	(6,910,974	)
Other expenses	$	(3,549,526	)	$	(2,809,147	)
Net loss	$	(9,526,345	)	$	(9,736,534	)
Loss per common share - basic and diluted	$	(0.45	)	$	(0.71	)

Revenue

Revenue totaled $1,022,851 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $156,769 as compared to $1,179,620 for the comparable three months ended September 30, 2021. Management attributes this decrease to the significant headwinds that have interrupted year-over-year growth due to supply-line disruptions and an overall decline in consumer spending.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $1,404,562, relatively flat as compared to $1,418,213 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Going forward, the Company expects the gross margin to continue to improve over time as it continues to consolidate operations across its portfolio of e-commerce brands.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $5,595,108 as compared to $6,672,381 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The 16% decrease of $1,077,273 in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a cost cutting program implemented by the Company to dramatically reduce expenses, including significant decreases to marketing and research and development expenditures. This program began in September of 2022, and its primary impact will be recognized in Q4 of 2022, including the impact of a significant reduction in headcount. Additionally, the company’s non-cash charges totaled $626,568, a $1,135,880 decrease from third quarter 2021. This decrease primarily represents stock-based compensation to employees and consultants during the quarter.

These decreases were offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses, as well as approximately $257,117 in one-time non-cash expenses related to the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, as well as a one-time cash expense of $475,000 expense related to a member of management’s severance package.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $5,976,819 as compared to $6,910,974 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The $934,155 decrease in the loss from operations this quarter primarily reflects the Company’s decreased operating expenses, offset by the decrease in revenues.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $3,549,526 as compared to $2,809,147 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in third quarter 2022 other income was predominantly due to the increase from loss on extinguishment of debt and interest expense. This was offset by a decrease in change in derivative liability and accretion of debt discount and issuance cost.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $9,526,345, as compared to a net loss of $9,797,011 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $9,448,271, or loss per share of $0.45, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $9,797,011, or loss per share of $0.71, for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, and 2021:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021
Revenue	$	3,997,490		$	2,894,390
Cost of revenue	$	4,771,151		$	4,160,743
Operating expenses	$	(20,205,866	)	$	(19,971,413	)
Loss from operations	$	(20,979,527	)	$	(21,237,766	)

Net loss	$	(25,112,331	)	$	(24,942,247	)
Loss per common share - basic and diluted	$	(1.23	)	$	(2.20	)

Revenue

Revenue totaled $3,997,490 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $2,894,390 for the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1,103,100. The 38% year-over-year increase in revenue is primarily attributable to growth within the Company’s consumer product portfolio.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $4,771,151 as compared to $4,160,743 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $610,408 in cost of revenue is primarily related to an increase in product-related cost of goods sold as the consumer products group expanded its operations. The Company expects the gross margin to continue to improve over time as it continues to grow a self-sustaining, organically driven revenue model across its business segments.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $20,205,866 as compared to $19,971,413 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease of $234,453 in operating expenses is mainly related to a 50% decrease in marketing spend and a 32% decrease in stock-based compensation. This increase was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses. The Company expects expenditures to decrease further due to the austerity measures put into place in late Q3 2022.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $20,979,527 as compared to $21,237,766 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $ 258,239 increase in the loss from operations primarily reflects the Company’s increased revenues within its consumer products group coupled with lowered operating expenses.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $4,132,804 as compared to $3,688,068 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in other income was predominantly due to the increase from loss on extinguishment of debt and interest expense. This was offset by a decrease in change in derivative liability and accretion of debt discount and issuance cost.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $25,112,331, as compared to a net loss of $24,942,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $24,130,227, or loss per share of $1.23, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $25,413,042, or loss per share of $2.20, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Financial Statements. If we complete an acquisition, we will be required to make estimates and assumptions typical of other companies. For example, we will be required to make critical accounting estimates related to valuation and accounting for business combinations. The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the future. Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. For detailed information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2021. For details on the Company’s interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and credit risks, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risks” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, throughout 2021 and into 2022, the Company continues the complete review of all of its financial procedures and controls and is continuing the process of updating and optimizing its infrastructure around these controls. Over the past year, the Company has hired additional finance and accounting personnel, significantly improving the segregation of duties within that department and providing additional bandwidth for management to focus on improving controls and procedures. This review is ongoing, and the Company believes that this process will continue to positively affect our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

On or about August 30, 2021, Robert W. Monster and Anonymize, Inc. (“Monster”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle, Robert W. Monster, et al. v. Creatd, Inc., et al. (Western District of Washington at Seattle 2:21-CV-1177). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that action for Declaratory Judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 that Monster’s registration and use of the internet domain name VOCL.COM (the “Domain Name”) does not violate Creatd’s rights under the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (“ACPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d), or otherwise under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq. Creatd claims trademark rights and certain other rights with respect to the term and the domain name VOCL.COM. Monster seeks a determination by the Court that Monster’s registration and/or use of VOCL.COM is not, and has not been in violation of the ACPA, and that Plaintiffs’ use of VOCL.COM constitutes neither a violation of the ACPA nor trademark infringement or dilution under the Lanham Act. Creatd believes the lawsuit lacks merit and will vigorously challenge the action. At this time, we are unable to estimate potential damage exposure, if any, related to the litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we issued securities that were not registered under the Securities Act and were not previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as listed below. All of the securities discussed in this Item 2 were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Consultant Shares

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 157,260 shares of Common Stock to consultants and employees.

Acquisition of Orbit, LLC

On August 1, 2022, the Company issued 57,576 shares in relation to its purchase of 51% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Orbit Media LLC.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

On September 2, 2022, the Company went into default on the notes issued in relation to the May 2022 Convertible Note Offering. As part of the default terms the Company owes 110% of the principal outstanding and the notes accrue interest at a rate of 18%.

On September 15, 2022, the Company and six out of eight lenders May 2022 Investors agreed to forgive default interest and extend the maturity date to March 31, 2023 for a reduced conversion price of $0.20 for the convertible notes and warrants. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is in default on $900,000 of principal of these notes.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note

Resignation of Chief Executive Officer and Director

On August 9, 2022, Laurie Weisberg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, notified the Company of her intention to resign from the positions of Chief Executive Officer, director, and any other positions held with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, regardless of whether Ms. Weisberg had been appointed. Such resignations are to become effective on a date to be determined following further discussion with the Board, but in no event later than August 31, 2022.

Appointment of Chief Executive Officer

Effective upon Ms. Weisberg’s resignation as Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy Frommer, currently the Company’s Executive Chairman, will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the Board’s approval.

Jeremy Frommer

Mr. Frommer was appointed Executive Chairman in February 2022 and has been a member of our board of directors since February 2016. Previously, he served as our Chief Executive Officer from February 2016 to August 2021, and Co-Chief Executive Officer from August 2021 to February 2022. Mr. Frommer has over 20 years of experience in the financial technology industry. Previously, Mr. Frommer held key leadership roles in the investment banking and trading divisions of large financial institutions. From 2009 to 2012, Mr. Frommer was briefly retired until beginning concept formation for Jerrick Ventures which he officially founded in 2013. From 2007 to 2009, Mr. Frommer was Managing Director of Global Prime Services at RBC Capital Markets, the investment banking arm of the Royal Bank of Canada, the largest financial institution in Canada, after the sale of Carlin Financial Group, a professional trading firm. From 2004 to 2007, Mr. Frommer was the Chief Executive Officer of Carlin Financial Group after the sale of NextGen Trading, a software development company focused on building equity trading platforms. From 2002 to 2004, Mr. Frommer was Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NextGen Trading.

Mr. Frommer was also a director of LionEye Capital, a hedge fund from June 2012 to June 2014. He holds a B.A. from the University of Albany. We believe Mr. Frommer is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his financial and leadership experience.

Appointment of Director

Effective upon Ms. Weisberg’s resignation as a director, Justin Maury, currently the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, will be appointed to the Board, pursuant to the Board’s approval.

Justin Maury

Mr. Maury has served as our President since January 2019 and was appointed Chief Operating Officer in August 2021. A full-stack designer and product developer by training, Mr. Maury partnered with Jeremy Frommer and founded the Company in 2013, having brought with him 10 years of experience in the creative industry. Since joining Creatd in 2013, Mr. Maury has been an instrumental force in the Company’s business and revenue expansion, and has overseen the Company’s product development since inception, including overseeing the design, development, launch, and ongoing growth of the Company’s flagship product, Vocal, the innovative creator that, under Mr. Maury’s leadership, has grown to a community of over 1.5 million users with a total audience reach of over 175 million.

As a director, we believe Mr. Maury will add considerable value, including through by providing a unique perspective into Creatd’s product performance and evolution and by providing invaluable direct input to help guide the Company’s ongoing refinement of its technology roadmap and maturation of its business model.
