CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include our statements regarding our goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans, including product and service developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. For example, when we discuss our pursuit of strategic transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, capital raising and debt restructuring, that our revenues will increase in 2018, and that we intend to invest in sales, marketing, product development and innovation, we are using forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to implement our strategic initiatives, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, interest rate risk, U.S. and global competition, and other factors. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made herein. The business and operations of Accelerize Inc. are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 27, 2018 and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Accelerize Inc., a Delaware corporation, incorporated on November 22, 2005, owns and operates CAKE, a Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, platform providing online tracking and analytics solutions for advertisers and online marketers.

The Company provides software solutions for businesses interested in expanding their online advertising spend.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2018. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation of these may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2018.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $2,024,625 and an accumulated deficit of $36,326,324 as of September 30, 2018. The Company also had a net loss of $4,783,640 and cash used in operating activities of $2,769,540 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company engaged a nationally recognized investment bank to assist management in pursuing strategic transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, capital raising and debt restructuring. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Cake Marketing UK Ltd., or the Subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company has restricted cash as a result of its corporate card program through its bank. The bank requires a collateral which is placed in a money market account and can be increased or decreased at any time at the discretion of the Company. The Company’s restricted cash amounted to $50,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are due primarily from advertisers and marketers. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance.

2018

December 31,

2017

Allowance for doubtful accounts

268,923

471,144

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at a financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company has reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

The Company's accounts receivable are due from customers, generally located in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Canada. None of the Company’s customers accounted for more than 10% of its accounts receivable at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. The Company does not require any collateral from its customers.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605. The guidance primarily states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Revenue is recognized when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company’s SaaS revenues are generated from implementation and training fees and a monthly license fee, supplemented by per transaction fees paid by customers for monthly platform usage. The initial term of the customer contract is generally one year with one of two general cancellation policies. Each party may cancel the contract within the initial period or after the initial period, with 30-days’ prior notice. The Company does not provide any general right of return for its delivered items. Services associated with the implementation and training fees have standalone value to the Company’s customers, as there are third-party vendors who offer similar services to the Company’s services. Accordingly, they qualify as separate units of accounting. The Company allocates a fair value to each element deliverable at the recognition date and recognizes such value when the services are provided. The Company bases the fair value of the implementation and training fees on third-party evidence and the monthly license fee on vendor-specific objective evidence. Fees charged by third-party vendors for implementation and training services do not vary significantly from the fees charged by the Company. Services associated with implementation and training fees are generally rendered within a month from the initial contract date. The value attributed to the monthly license fees as well as the fees associated with monthly transaction-based platform usage are recognized in the corresponding period.

Product Concentration

The Company generates its revenues from software licensing, usage, and related transaction fees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lines of credit approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Advertising expense	$	140,907	$	84,302	$	415,358	$	254,446

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Subsidiary in the United Kingdom is British Pounds. The translation from British Pounds to U.S. dollars is performed for asset and liability accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts using historical exchange rates or rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate in effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Foreign currency translation gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Software Development Costs

Costs incurred in the research and development of software products and significant upgrades and enhancements thereto during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation operation stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for maintenance and relatively minor upgrades and enhancements are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the application development stage of new software products and significant upgrades and enhancements thereto are capitalized when 1) management implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a software project and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The Company capitalized internal-use software development costs of $1,125,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company amortizes such costs once the new software products and significant upgrades and enhancements are completed. The unamortized internal-use software development costs amounted to $4,624,377 and $3,925,523 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company’s amortization expenses associated with capitalized software development costs amounted to $105,000 and $426,146 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $193,935 and $509,039 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Amortization of internal-use software is reflected in cost of revenues.

Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

The Company has elected to use the BSM option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Common stock awards

The Company has granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 6, Stockholders’ Equity.

Segment Reporting

The Company generated revenues from one source, its SaaS business, during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the Company based upon revenues and expenses by functional areas as disclosed in the Company's statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the goodwill impairment test. The effective date for ASU 2017-04 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09 to provide clarification and correction of errors to the Codification. The amendments in this update cover multiple Accounting Standards Updates. Some topics in the update may require transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑01, Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842 ) and subsequently amended the guidance relating largely to transition considerations under the standard in January 2017. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Since the Company has not acquired any material businesses, this standard has no impact on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230 ): Restricted Cash . The objective of this ASU is to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the classification of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, and it has had no material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) : Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and it has had no material impact on its financial statements.

Other accounting pronouncements have been issued but deemed by management to be outside the scope of relevance to the Company.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method).

On March 11, 2016, the Company entered into a subordinated loan, or the Agility Loan, with Agility Capital II, LLC, or Agility Capital, which provides for total availability of $625,000 and was to originally mature, prior to amendment, on March 31, 2017. The Agility Loan has a fixed interest rate of 12% per year and requires $25,000 monthly amortization payments beginning on June 1, 2016. The Agility Loan also requires fees of approximately $130,000 over the life of the loan and is subject to a total aggregate minimum interest of $50,000 in the event of a prepayment. The Agility Loan contains covenants to achieve specified Adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined, limiting capital expenditures, restricting the Company’s ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course and incur additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2017, and at repayment of the Agility Loan, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Agility Loan requires a security interest in all of the Company’s personal property and intellectual property, second in priority to SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC.

In connection with the Agility Loan, on June 30, 2016, as a result of outstanding amounts under the Agility Loan, the Company issued to Agility Capital a warrant to purchase up to 69,444 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. This warrant expires on March 11, 2021. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $15,880 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $0 and $3,970 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0 was expensed during 2018.

On November 29, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment of the Agility Loan which waived any event of default and the breach of any covenant, representation, warranty, and any other agreement contained in the Agility Loan as a result of the Company entering into a settlement agreement with respect to pending litigation between the Company and a former officer during November 2016, or the Settlement Agreement. On the date of the amendment, a loan modification fee in the amount of $100,000, fully earned and non-refundable, was added to the outstanding loan balance. Additionally, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017. On November 29, 2016, the Company issued to Agility Capital a warrant to purchase up to 187,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. This warrant expires on November 29, 2021. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $42,427 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $9,791 and $29,372 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0 was expensed during 2018.

On August 14, 2017, the Company entered into a consent to waiver of the Agility Loan, to permit the issuance of promissory notes to lenders, as further described below.

On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into the third amendment of the Agility Loan, or the Third Amendment, whereby Agility Capital agreed to loan an additional $300,000 to the Company, such that the aggregate principal amount owing to Agility Capital as of November 9, 2017 was $625,000. The Third Amendment extended the maturity date of the Agility Loan from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. A loan modification fee of $125,000 was deducted from the Additional Loan amount. This arrangement was treated as a substantial modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). Because the net present value of the modified notes was greater than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt extinguishment and reissuance of a new debt instrument, with the fair value of $606,034 and therefore recorded $106,034 as a loss on debt extinguishment. The carrying value of the $625,000 did not change as a result of the extinguishment since the discounts recognized at inception of these new notes were fully amortized at the time of the issuance.

On January 26, 2018, the Company repaid the Agility Loan by paying Agility Capital approximately $581,000 which terminated the loan agreement between the Company and Agility Capital and released Agility Capital’s security interest in Company assets. The Company owed $0 and $600,000 under the Agility Loan at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

This arrangement was treated as a normal modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). Because the net present value of the modified notes was lesser than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt modification.

The Beedie Credit Agreement contains customary covenants including, but not limited to, covenants to achieve specified adjusted EBITDA levels, to maintain minimum revenue renewal and liquidity levels, to maintain minimum gross margins, to maintain specified debt to monthly recurring revenue ratios, that limit capital expenditures and restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course, and that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. The occurrence of a material adverse change will be an event of default under the Beedie Credit Agreement, in addition to other customary events of default. Default interest will be charged at 18% per annum. The Company granted Beedie a security interest, subordinated to the security interest of SaaS Capital, in all of the Company's assets through a pledge and security agreement, patent security agreement and trademark security agreement, each between the Company and Beedie. As additional security, the Company’s Subsidiary issued an unlimited guarantee to Beedie. Beedie is entitled to board of director observation rights during the term of the Beedie Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Beedie Credit Agreement, the Company issued to Beedie a warrant, or the Beedie Warrant, to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 26, 2019. Up to 2,500,000 additional shares of common stock under the Beedie Warrant will be exercisable on a pro rata basis to additional amounts borrowed if and when advanced under the Beedie Credit Agreement. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 which revises ASC 815-10-15-74 to allow instruments with a down round feature to qualify for equity classification. Under the new guidance, the issuer would recognize the value of the feature only when it is activated and there is an actual reduction of the strike price or conversion feature. The value of the adjustment is then to be recorded as deemed dividend and a reduction of income available to common stockholders. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $1,099,861 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $91,655 and $244,413 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a first amendment, or the First Beedie Amendment, of the Beedie Credit Agreement to permit the issuance of additional promissory notes to lenders, as further described below, to amend the Company’s adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal and total debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, and to add a secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenant. In addition, the Company issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. This arrangement was treated as a normal modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (ASC 470-50). Because the net present value of the modified notes was lesser than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt modification. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $120,330 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $10,027 and $13,370 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment, or the Second Beedie Amendment, of the Beedie Credit Agreement to issue additional promissory notes, as further described below. In addition, the Company issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. This arrangement was treated as a normal modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (ASC 470-50). Because the net present value of the modified notes was lesser than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt modification. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $24,053 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $2,004 and $2,672 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into a third amendment, or the Third Beedie Amendment, of the Beedie Credit Agreement to borrow the second tranche of the term loan facility in the amount of $1,500,000, to permit the issuance of additional promissory notes to lenders, as further described below, to amend the commitment fee, to amend the Company’s minimum adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal, total debt to monthly recurring revenue and secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants and to provide for twice monthly reporting of the Company’s projected cash flows. In connection with the Third Beedie Amendment, the Company issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase up to an additional 835,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. The fair value of these warrants amounted to $412,484 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $11,458 and $11,458 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information’’ elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We own and operate CAKE and getcake.com, a marketing technology company that provides a proprietary solution for advanced analytics, attribution and campaign optimization for digital marketers. Our powerful software-as-a service, or SaaS, is an enterprise solution that has been an industry standard for advertisers, agencies, networks and publishers to measurably analyze and improve digital advertising spend. We currently have over 500 customers driving billions of consumer actions monthly through the CAKE enterprise platform.

In late 2017, we introduced Journey by CAKE, a new product family created specifically for brand advertisers and digital agencies. Journey by CAKE is a cloud-based solution that collects and analyzes customer journey data using multi-touch attribution for marketing campaign optimization. Journey by CAKE delivers accurate and actionable insights about the previously missing steps of the anonymous customer journey. With this extended view into vital customer interactions, Journey provides the intelligence needed to move unknown consumers to known customers, boosting campaign performance and return on advertising spend (RoAS). The main features are: Insights, a centralized dashboard which provides valuable customer journey insights that drive real-time decisions; Attribution, campaign spend optimization based on positional and data-driven attribution of key steps in the customer journey; and Connections, seamless integrations with digital media and marketing tools which make collecting customer journey data easier than ever. Journey by CAKE enables brands to move beyond the confines of siloed data and provides customer journey analytics for marketers, in real time.

On January 12, 2017, we announced that the CAKE platform was significantly enhanced with a new unified technical architecture and platform to collect and support high-traffic volumes. Now our industry-leading technology not only gathers granular information about the customer path to conversion, but also leverages data science and machine learning to further understand and maximize RoAS. Additionally, our patent-pending algorithmic attribution for predictive analytics clearly and accurately show marketers how to optimize campaigns. These new capabilities enhance our existing rules-driven attribution to programmatically allow marketers to analyze complex customer journeys; arming advertisers with more actionable insights needed to effectively measure the true impact of each media channel and maximize revenue for any given level of spending.

The CAKE SaaS proprietary marketing platform is used by some of the world’s leading companies and largest customer-base of enterprise performance marketing networks and advertisers. CAKE’s platform is based on reliable, feature rich technology and is bolstered by the industry’s leading customer service and top-tier technology partners, assuring the highest level of uptime.

On February 14, 2017, Gartner, Inc. once again named us as a Vendor to Watch in its “Magic Quadrant for Digital Marketing Hubs” report. This research is intended for chief marketing officers (CMOs), chief marketing technologists and other digital marketing leaders involved in the selection of core systems to support digital marketing business requirements. According to Gartner, our solution enables hub-like multichannel data management and onboarding capabilities. CAKE is for enterprise performance marketers looking to track attribution and optimize data-driven lead generation and customer acquisition through affiliate and other digital marketing channels.

Our revenue model is based on monthly recurring license fees, usually pursuant to an annual contract. The contracts typically include a prescribed volume of clicks, impressions, or other events, and are subject to overage charges for volumes in excess of the included amounts. We also charge training and implementation fees, and in certain cases, professional services fees and royalties. A majority of our revenue is derived from customers in the United States. During November 2012, we formed Cake Marketing UK Ltd, a private limited company, which is our wholly-owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom in order to better provide our services in the European market.

Our business is currently headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with operations in Santa Monica, California, London, England and New Delhi, India, allowing us to provide global support to our customer base. The CAKE platform supports multiple languages and currencies so online marketers can track the performance of their marketing campaigns and better target their digital spend on a global scale.

Our training, support personnel, hosting and cloud-based infrastructure contribute to our cost of operating the business. We anticipate spending in these areas will remain approximately constant during the remainder of 2018. In addition, development resources were required to continue to enhance our products. Those resources were used to extend our software platform and to create deeper integrations to third-party technologies that include, but are not limited to, Google AdWords, Bing Ads, Facebook, DoubleClick Campaign Manager (DCM), Marketo and others.

We intend to continue to invest in sales, marketing, product development and innovation. We allocated a portion of our marketing budget to being present at tradeshows, securing coverage in industry publications, and providing the support documentation required by sales initiatives. Additional efforts will be made to speak at industry events, write for media outlets and implement digital marketing campaigns, increasing awareness of the CAKE solutions and the thought leadership driving product development.

The decrease in total revenues during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, is mainly due to a decrease in overage fees as a result of our decision to terminate our relationship with a major customer.

The decrease in our software licensing revenues during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, is largely due to our decision to terminate a major customer, combined with reductions in transaction volume for several other customers. Our monthly recurring license fee revenue, which constitutes the contractually recurring portion of our revenue and comprises the bulk of our total revenue, or 80% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, decreased approximately 11% and 8% year over year during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. In addition to impacting licensing revenues, reduced transaction volume also impacted overage fees, which decreased approximately 23% and 5% year over year during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. Our average monthly revenue per customer decreased approximately 10% and 4% during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017.

We believe that there was substantial uncertainty and caution among some of our customers and our affiliate networks’ customers in reaction to the European Union’s recently instituted General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We believe this led to delays in some purchase decisions by new customers, as well as a temporary reduction in advertising activity among some current customers – likely contributing to our lower transaction volume and associated lower revenue.

Cost of Revenues

	Three Months Ended September 30,				% Change		Nine Months Ended September 30,				% Change
	2018		2017				2018		2017

Cost of revenues	$	2,042,435	$	2,749,975		-25.7%	$	6,865,431	$	6,660,684		3.1%

Cost of revenues consists primarily of web hosting and personnel costs associated with supporting customer on-boarding and training activities, including salaries, benefits, and related infrastructure costs. Web hosting fees are partially correlated to our revenues, depending on each specific agreement we have with our customers. The majority of our customers’ services are hosted on non-dedicated servers, on which capacity can be maximized by server, while certain customers prefer to have their services hosted on dedicated servers, on which capacity can only be maximized by customer and by server. Additionally, our resources associated with on-boarding are usually allocated at the beginning of the relationship with the new customer (usually, the first two months). Accordingly, our personnel costs associated with supporting customer on-boarding activities are not necessarily correlated with our revenues.

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, cost of revenues decreased reflecting the lower web hosting fees of approximately $313,000 and increased reflecting the higher web hosting fees of approximately $647,000, respectively, incurred to support our customers and platform usage.

We believe that our cost of revenues will remain approximately constant during the remainder of 2018.

Research and development	$	1,033,707	$	1,031,878		0.2%	$	3,144,106	$	3,208,434		-2.0%

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs associated with the enhancement and maintenance of our SaaS product offerings, consisting of salaries, benefits, and related infrastructure costs, offset by capitalized software development costs.

Our research and development expenses remained constant and slightly decreased during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The decrease was mainly due to lower capitalization of software development costs.

We believe that our research and development expenses will slightly increase during the remainder of 2018 as we continue to enhance features of our SaaS platform.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs associated with the sale and marketing of our SaaS products, including salaries, benefits, and related infrastructure, as well as the costs of related marketing programs, such as trade shows and public relations.

We experienced a slight decrease in sales and marketing expenses during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017, mainly due to a decrease in sales commissions.

We believe that our sales and marketing expenses will increase slightly in 2018 as we continue to execute on proven marketing programs.

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs associated with the support of our operations consisting of salaries, benefits, and related infrastructure. Also included are non-personnel costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as professional fees, insurance, investor relations, and other corporate expenses.

The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, is primarily due to higher legal expenses of approximately $267,000, mostly related to work on our credit facility and loans, higher bad debt expenses of approximately $385,000, higher rent expenses of approximately $100,000, and approximately $120,000 in higher compensation related expenses.

We believe that our general and administrative expenses will remain approximately constant during the remainder of 2018.

Other expenses consist of interest charges and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our credit facility and loans.

The increase in interest expenses during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, is primarily due to higher levels of borrowings we have made from time to time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had a working capital deficit of $2,024,625 and an accumulated deficit of $36,326,324 as of September 30, 2018. We also had a net loss of $4,783,640 and cash used in operating activities of $2,769,540 as of September 30, 2018.

Our plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. During the second quarter of 2018, we engaged a nationally recognized investment bank to assist us in pursuing strategic transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, capital raising and debt restructuring. However, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing our plans. We also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for us to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

At September 30, 2018 and 2017, 44% and 42%, respectively, of our total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

We extend unsecured credit in the normal course of business to our customers. The determination of the appropriate amount of the reserve for uncollectible accounts is based upon a review of the amount of credit extended, the length of time each receivable has been outstanding, and the specific customers from whom the receivables are due.

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have ready access to sufficient funds to meet commitments while implementing our growth strategy. Our primary sources of liquidity historically include the sale of our securities and borrowings from our credit facilities and loans.

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures of tangible items.

Agility Loan

On March 11, 2016, we entered into a subordinated loan with Agility Capital which provides for total availability of $625,000 and was to originally mature, prior to amendment, on March 31, 2017. The Agility Loan has a fixed interest rate of 12% per year and requires $25,000 monthly amortization payments beginning on June 1, 2016. The Agility Loan also requires fees of approximately $130,000 over the life of the loan and is subject to a total aggregate minimum interest of $50,000 in the event of a prepayment. The Agility Loan contains covenants to achieve specified Adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined, limiting capital expenditures, restricting our ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course and incur additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2017, and at repayment of the Agility Loan, we were in compliance with these covenants. The Agility Loan requires a security interest in all of our personal property and intellectual property, second in priority to SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC.

In connection with the Agility Loan, on June 30, 2016, as a result of outstanding amounts under the Agility Loan, we issued to Agility Capital a warrant to purchase up to 69,444 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. This warrant expires on March 11, 2021. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $15,880 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $0 and $3,970 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0 was expensed during 2018.

On November 29, 2016, we entered into an amendment of our Agility Loan which waived any event of default and the breach of any covenant, representation, warranty, and any other agreement contained in the Agility Loan as a result of our entering into the Settlement Agreement. On the date of the amendment, a loan modification fee in the amount of $100,000, fully earned and non-refundable, was added to the outstanding loan balance. Additionally, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017. On November 29, 2016, we issued to Agility Capital a warrant to purchase up to 187,500 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. This warrant expires on November 29, 2021. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $42,427 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $9,791 and $29,372 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0 was expensed during 2018.

On August 14, 2017, we entered into a consent to waiver of the Agility Loan, to permit the issuance of the 2017 Promissory Notes.

On November 8, 2017, we entered into the Third Amendment whereby Agility Capital agreed to loan an additional $300,000 to us, such that the aggregate principal amount owing to Agility Capital as of November 9, 2017 was $625,000. The Third Amendment extended the maturity date of the Agility Loan from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. A loan modification fee of $125,000 was deducted from the Additional Loan amount. This arrangement was treated as a substantial modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). Because the net present value of the modified notes was greater than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt extinguishment and reissuance of a new debt instrument, with the fair value of $606,034 and therefore recorded $106,034 as a loss on debt extinguishment. The carrying value of the $625,000 did not change as a result of the extinguishment since the discounts recognized at inception of these new notes were fully amortized at the time of the issuance.

On January 26, 2018, we repaid the Agility Loan by paying Agility Capital approximately $581,000 which terminated the loan agreement between us and Agility Capital and released Agility Capital’s security interest in our assets. We owed $0 and $600,000 under the Agility Loan at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Credit Facility - SaaS Capital Loan

On May 5, 2016, we entered into the SaaS Capital Loan, with SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC to borrow up to a maximum of $8,000,000. Initial amounts borrowed will accrue interest at the rate of 10.25% per annum with future amounts borrowed bearing interest at the greater of 10.25% or 9.21% plus the three-year treasury rate at the time of advance. Accrued interest on amounts borrowed is payable monthly for the first six months and thereafter 36 equal monthly payments of principal and interest is payable. Prepayments will be subject to a 10%, 6% or 3% of principal premium if prepaid prior to 12 months, between 12 and 24 months, or between 24 months and maturity, respectively. Advances may be requested until May 5, 2018. The initial minimum advance amount of $5,000,000, on May 5, 2016, was used to repay the outstanding line of credit balance of $4,572,223. A facility fee of $80,000 was paid by us in connection with the initial advance and an additional $80,000 was paid in May 2017. Additionally, we incurred initial financing costs of $160,000 which was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $13,333 and $40,000 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The SaaS Capital Loan contains customary covenants including, but not limited to, covenants to achieve specified Adjusted EBITDA levels and revenue renewal levels, limiting capital expenditures and restricting our ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course and incur additional indebtedness. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with such covenants. The occurrence of a material adverse change will be an event of default under the SaaS Capital Loan, in addition to other customary events of default. We granted SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC a security interest in all of our personal property and intellectual property through the SaaS Capital Loan and the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement between us and SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC.

On May 5, 2016, in connection with the SaaS Capital Loan, we issued to SaaS Capital Partners II, LP, an affiliate of SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC, a warrant to purchase up to 1,333,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications. The Warrant is exercisable until the earlier of May 5, 2026, or the date that is 5 years from the date our equity securities are first listed for trading on NASDAQ. We paid approximately $169,000 in financing costs through December 31, 2016. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $383,128 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $31,927 and $95,781 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On November 29, 2016, we entered into an amendment of our SaaS Capital Loan to receive consent from SaaS Capital to enter into the Settlement Agreement. The amendment required a loan modification fee of $120,000, payable at $10,000 a month for one year, expensed in the statement of operations. In connection with this amendment, we agreed to issue SaaS Capital a warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.36 per share. This warrant expires on November 29, 2026. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $60,185 and was fully expensed at December 31, 2016.

On May 10, 2017, we entered into a second amendment of the SaaS Capital Loan which adjusts the Minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant in Schedule 6.17 of the SaaS Capital Loan from $0 to ($150,000) until August 31, 2017 to give us added flexibility in completing our hosting migration to a new platform and to allow for potentially augmented marketing and sales efforts.

On June 16, 2017, we entered into a third amendment of the SaaS Capital Loan to provide that any advance made within 6 months of the final advance date will be for a 36 month period with interest only payments due from the date of advance until the final advance date.

On August 14, 2017, we entered into a fourth amendment of the SaaS Capital Loan to permit the issuance of the 2017 Promissory Notes.

On November 8, 2017, we entered into the Fifth Amendment which adjusted the Minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant of the SaaS Capital Loan from $0 to ($170,000) until October 31, 2017, to ($150,000) from November 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, to ($100,000) from January 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018, to ($50,000) from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, and to $0 thereafter. The Fifth Amendment added a new minimum liquidity covenant for a cash balance of $600,000 effective January 31, 2018. The Fifth Amendment also memorialized SaaS Capital’s waiver of the Minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant for September 2017. In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company agreed to pay to SaaS Capital a fee of $375,000 upon the payment in full of all outstanding advances.

On January 25, 2018, we entered into the Sixth Amendment to permit the Company to enter into the Beedie Credit Agreement, further described below, and to permit the repayment of Agility Capital and of the 2017 Promissory Notes. The Sixth Amendment also amended our adjusted EBITDA covenant and added covenants requiring a minimum gross margin and specified debt to monthly recurring revenue ratios. This arrangement was treated as a normal modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). Because the net present value of the modified notes was lesser than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt modification. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, we agreed to issue SaaS Capital a warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share, subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $56,834 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $4,736 and $12,629 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On May 31, 2018, we entered into the Seventh Amendment to permit the issuance of the 2018 Promissory Notes to amend our adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal and total debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, to increase the success fee payable upon repayment of the facility by $120,000 to $495,000, and to fix prepayment penalties until October 31, 2018.

On June 13, 2018, we entered into the Eighth Amendment to issue additional 2018 Promissory Notes.

On August 31, 2018, we entered into the Ninth Amendment to permit the issuance of the August 2018 Promissory Notes to amend our minimum adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal, total debt to monthly recurring revenue and secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, to increase the success fee payable upon repayment of the facility to $555,000 and to provide for twice monthly reporting of our projected cash flows..

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we borrowed $350,000 from the SaaS Capital Loan, and made principal payments of $2,402,653.

We owed $5,651,731 and $7,704,384 under the SaaS Capital Loan at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

2017 Promissory Notes

On August 14, 2017, we borrowed an aggregate of $1,000,000 from seven lenders and issued promissory notes for the repayment of the amounts borrowed. The 2017 Lenders are all accredited investors, certain of the 2017 Lenders are shareholders of ours, one of the 2017 Lenders is an affiliate of our director, Greg Akselrud, and two of the 2017 Lenders are each affiliated with a partner of Mr. Akselrud’s in the law firm of Stubbs Alderton and Markiles, LLP. The 2017 Promissory Notes are unsecured, have a maturity date of August 14, 2019 and all principal is due upon maturity. Amounts borrowed accrue interest at 12% per annum and accrued interest is payable monthly. We also issued to the 2017 Lenders three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $104,676 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $0 and $82,868 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $8,723 and $8,723 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.

On January 26, 2018, we paid approximately $1,074,000 to repay the 2017 Promissory Notes which includes approximately $65,000 in additional interest expenses due to the repayment date which was prior to the maturity date. We owed $0 and $1,000,000 under the 2017 Promissory Notes at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 respectively.

Beedie Credit Agreement

On January 25, 2018, we entered into a non-revolving term credit agreement with Beedie to borrow up to a maximum of $7,000,000. Outstanding principal will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum increasing to 14% per annum if our gross margins fall below amounts specified in the Beedie Credit Agreement. Accrued interest on outstanding principal is payable monthly in arrears. We paid Beedie a commitment fee of $175,000 and will pay to Beedie a monthly standby fee of 0.325% on the unadvanced and available amount. Advances may be requested until July 25, 2020 and outstanding principal must be paid in full on January 25, 2021. Prepayment, which if at our option must be made in full and is otherwise required following certain asset dispositions, will be subject to a fee of 24 months accrued interest less all interest previously paid by the Company on the outstanding principal amount if paid prior to January 25, 2020. The initial minimum advance amount of $4,500,000 was advanced on January 26, 2018. Approximately $581,000 of the initial advance was used to repay Agility Capital to terminate the loan agreement between us and Agility dated March 11, 2016, as amended, and to release Agility Capital’s security interest in our assets. Approximately $1,074,000 of the initial advance was used to repay the 2017 Promissory Notes. The $175,000 commitment fee was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $14,583 and $38,888 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

The Beedie Credit Agreement contains customary covenants including, but not limited to, covenants to achieve specified adjusted EBITDA levels, to maintain minimum revenue renewal and liquidity levels, to maintain minimum gross margins, to maintain specified debt to monthly recurring revenue ratios, that limit capital expenditures and restrict our ability to pay dividends, purchase and sell assets outside the ordinary course, and that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. The occurrence of a material adverse change will be an event of default under the Beedie Credit Agreement, in addition to other customary events of default. Default interest will be charged at 18% per annum. We granted Beedie a security interest, subordinated to the security interest of SaaS Capital, in all of our assets through a pledge and security agreement, patent security agreement and trademark security agreement, each between us and Beedie. Beedie is entitled to board of director observation rights during the term of the Beedie Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Beedie Credit Agreement, we issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 26, 2019. Up to 2,500,000 additional shares of common stock under the Beedie Warrant will be exercisable on a pro rata basis to additional amounts borrowed if and when advanced under the Beedie Credit Agreement. We adopted ASU 2017-11 which revises ASC 815-10-15-74 to allow instruments with a down round features to qualify for equity classification. Under the new guidance, the issuer would recognize the value of the feature only when it is activated and there is an actual reduction of the strike price or conversion feature. The value of the adjustment is then to be recorded as deemed dividend and a reduction of income available to common stockholders. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $1,099,861 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $91,655 and $244,413 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On May 31, 2018, we entered into the First Beedie Amendment to permit the issuance of the 2018 Promissory Notes, to amend our adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal and total debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, and to add a secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenant. In addition, we issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. This arrangement was treated as a normal modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (ASC 470-50). Because the net present value of the modified notes was lesser than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt modification. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $120,330 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $10,027 and $13,370 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On June 13, 2018, we entered into the Second Beedie Amendment to issue additional 2018 Promissory Notes. In addition, we issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. This arrangement was treated as a normal modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (ASC 470-50). Because the net present value of the modified notes was lesser than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the old debt, the transaction was treated as a debt modification. The fair value of the warrant amounted to $24,053 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $2,004 and $2,672 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

On August 31, 2018, we entered into the Third Beedie Amendment to borrow the second tranche of the term loan facility in the amount of $1,500,000, to permit the issuance of the August 2018 Promissory Notes, to amend the commitment fee, to amend our minimum adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal, total debt to monthly recurring revenue and secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants and to provide for twice monthly reporting of our projected cash flows. In connection with the Third Beedie Amendment, we issued to Beedie a warrant to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase up to an additional 835,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. The fair value of these warrants amounted to $412,484 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs, of which $11,458 and $11,458 was expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 during 2017.

2018 Promissory Notes

We also issued to the 2018 Lenders six-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2018.

Our pursuit of strategic transactions could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and otherwise harm our business.

We may pursue strategic transactions such as acquisitions and dispositions as well as pursue strategic alliances, joint ventures, technology licenses or investments in complementary businesses. We have limited experience with respect to these types of strategic transactions. Any of these transactions could be material to our financial condition and operating results and expose us to many risks, including:

•

disruption in our relationships with customers, distributors or suppliers as a result of such a transaction;

•

unanticipated liabilities related to acquired companies;

•

difficulties integrating acquired personnel, technologies and operations into our existing business;

•

diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to acquisition integration or disposal challenges;

•

increases in our expenses and reductions in our cash available for operations and other uses; and

•

possible write-offs or impairment charges relating to acquired businesses.

We may not be successful in pursing strategic transactions. The anticipated benefit of any strategic transaction may not materialize. Future strategic transactions such as acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. We cannot predict the number, timing or size of future strategic transactions, or the effect that any such transactions might have on our operating results.

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

On July 1, 2018, we issued 120,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock, vesting in 4 equal quarterly increments commencing on July 1, 2018, to each of our non-employee directors as partial annual compensation for services as a director. These issuances are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as not involving any public offering.

On August 13, 2018, we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to two employees. The warrants are exercisable in cash or on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, vest in twelve equal quarterly amounts, and expire on August 13, 2023. These issuances are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act as not involving any public offering.
