Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management 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 our consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated 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. Significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the fair value of acquired assets for purchase price allocation in business combinations, valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of amortization period for intangible assets, estimates of depreciation period for fixed assets, valuation of equity based transactions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.


We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


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


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


Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.

The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.


Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue on our products in accordance with ASC 605-10, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized on sales transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement did exist, delivery of product has occurred, the sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has several revenue streams generated directly from its website and specific revenue recognition criteria for each revenue stream is as follows:


·

Sale of merchandise directly to consumers: The Company’s product sales are recognized either FOB shipping point or FOB destination, dependent on the customer. Revenues are therefore recognized at point of ownership transfer, accordingly.


·

Advertising revenue is received directly from companies who pay the Company a monthly fee for advertising space.


·

Advertising revenues are generated by users “clicking” on website advertisements utilizing several ad network partners: Revenues are recognized, on a net basis, upon receipt of payment by the ad network partner since the revenue is not determinable until it is received.


·

Subscription revenues are generated by the sale of access to career postings on one of our websites. The term of the subscriptions range from one month to twelve months.  Revenues are recognized, on a net basis, over the term of the subscription period.  All sales are final per the subscription Terms of Use.


The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, “Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments”. Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products included in inventories. Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of goods sold. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.


Cost of Sales


Components of costs of sales include product costs, shipping costs to customers and any inventory adjustments.


Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenues.


Sales Return Reserve Policy


Our return policy generally allows our end users to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products. We estimate a reserve for sales returns, if any, and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability. Sales to consumers on our web site generally may be returned within a reasonable period of time.

Product Warranty Reserve Policy


The Company is a retail distributor of products and warranties are the responsibility of the manufacturer. Therefore, the Company does not record a reserve for product warranty.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets of seven years for office furniture and equipment, and five years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements, if any, would be amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs along with fixed assets below our capitalization threshold of $500 are expensed as incurred.


Website Development Costs


The Company accounts for its website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”.  These costs, if any, are included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements or expensed immediately if the Company cannot support recovery of these costs from positive future cash flows.


ASC 350-50 requires the expensing of all costs of the preliminary project stage and the training and application maintenance stage and the capitalization of all internal or external direct costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage. Upgrades or enhancements that add functionality are capitalized while other costs during the operating stage are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes the capitalized website development costs over an estimated life of three years.


As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, all internally generated website costs have been expensed.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations, the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.


Advertising, Marketing and Promotion


Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $83,069 and $41,758 respectively.

Income Taxes


We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.


The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.


As of September 30, 2014, tax years 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications from the IRS for any of the open tax years.


Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share


In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share”, basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 there were approximately 1,500,000 and 1,360,000 common stock equivalent shares outstanding as stock options, respectively and 3,300,000 and 0 common stock equivalents from the conversion of preferred stock, respectively. Equivalent shares were not utilized, as the effect is anti-dilutive.


Risk and Uncertainty


In accordance with the provisions of ASC 2014-10, “ Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810 Consolidation ”, the Company is required to report significant risk and uncertainties that could significantly affect the amounts reported in the financial statements in the near term.  The Company is required to disclose risks and uncertainty existing in the areas of (1) nature of operations, (2) use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements, (3) significant estimates, and (4) current vulnerability due to concentrations.  The required disclosures are placed in diverse parts of these financial statements and notes.


Segment Information


In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company does not have any reportable operating segments as of September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “ Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity—which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period.  We have elected to adopt the provisions of this ASU early; accordingly all of the past disclosures, prior to June 30, 2014 reporting period, and presentations on development stage accounting have been eliminated.


We have evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements, which are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,120,156 and used cash in operating activities of $1,264,443 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,083,564 at September 30, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from related parties to sustain its current level of operations.


Management plans to continue to raise additional capital through private placements and is exploring additional avenues for future fund-raising through both public and private sources.


The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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.

Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Grants to Employees and Directors


The Company accounts for stock option compensation issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.


Stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 505, Equity, and FASB ASC 718 , Compensation-Stock Compensation, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.

On April 20, 2011, the Company’s board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”), to be effective on January 3, 2011. The purpose of the 2011 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under the 2011 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards.

The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to grants made under the 2011 Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares. The Company’s board of directors will administer the 2011 Plan until such time as such authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors.

The purpose of the 2013 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to grants made under the 2013 Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares.

On January 2, 2014 the Company granted 50,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and cliff vest annually over four years starting in January 2015 to an employee. The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $8,167 or $0.1633 per option.


On August 22, 2014 the Company granted 25,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.50 per share to a consultant.  All 25,000 stock options vested on August 22, 2014.  The aggregate fair value on these options was computed at $8,580 or $0.3432 per option.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates.


The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors, which is subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements.  These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants.  The Company recognized share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award.  The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014:


Assumptions:

 

 

 

Expected term (years)

 

 

6.25

 

 

Expected volatility

 

 

80

%

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

 

0.38%

%

 

Dividend yield

 

 

0

%

 

Expected forfeiture rate

 

 

0

%

 


The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on an average of similar public companies historical volatility, as the Company does not currently trade on the open market. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.


The Company recorded $51,898 and $30,616 stock option expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 respectively in connection with all options.


As of September 30, 2014 there were total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements of $109,041 to be recognized through September 2018.

NOTE 11 – CONCENTRATIONS


The Company purchases a substantial amount of its products from two vendors; Vendor A and Vendor B. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, these two vendors accounted for 47% and 33%, respectively of total products purchased. Although we continue to expand our product line and vendor relationships, due to the high concentration and reliance on these two vendors, the loss of one of these two vendors could adversely affect the Company’s operations.





17



 


The Company sells many of its products through various distribution portals, which include Amazon and eBay. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, these two portals accounted for 85% and 14%, respectively of our total product sales. Due to high concentration and reliance on these portals, the loss of a working relationship with either of these two portals could adversely affect the Company’s operations.


A substantial amount of payments for our products sold are processed through PayPal. A disruption in PayPal payment processing could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and cash flow. The Company established an account with a payment processor as an alternate portal for receiving payments for our products sold.


Credit Risk


The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $250,000 are at risk. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had cash balances above the FDIC insured limit of $65,377 and $716,847 respectively. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its trade accounts receivable customers and generally does not require collateral.


Concentration of Funding


During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, a large portion of the Company’s funding was provided by the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to related parties.


NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2014, the Company authorized the issuance to a consultant the equivalent of $7,500 in shares of the Company’s common stock per calendar quarter for social media related services.  On October 10, 2014, the Company issued to a consultant 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share, or $7,500 for social media related services.  The Company valued these common shares based on the most recently traded price paid by investors in the OTCQB market as of the date of issuance.

On October 15, 2014, the Company issued to a consultant 37,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share, or $28,125 for services rendered pursuant to the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement entered into by the Company of September 15, 2014.  The Company valued these common shares based on the most recently traded price paid by investors in the OTCQB market as of the date of issuance.

On October 15, 2014 the Company granted 40,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.78 per share and cliff vest annually over four years starting in October 2015 to a director.  The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $12,256 or $0.3064 per option.


The Company entered into a premium finance agreement on October 30, 2014 with Flat Iron Capital for (1) the Company’s Director’s and Officer’s (D & O) insurance coverage for the period October 31, 2014 through October 30, 2015, (2) a six-year tail policy for the Company’s Director’s and Officer’s (D & O) insurance coverage which terminated on October 31, 2014, and (3) the Employment Practices Liability insurance coverage for the period October 31, 2014 through October 30, 2015.  The Company financed $48,172 (including interest of $1,615) from Flat Iron Capital.  The terms of the loan are nine equal payments of $5,352 per month beginning November 30, 2014.


On October 31, 2014 the Company raised additional capital through issuance of its common stock pursuant to a private placement whereby $30,000 in capital was raised through the issuance of 60,000 shares of common stock at $.50 per share to a related party founder.

Although our cash operating expenses increased by 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September, 2013, our total revenue increased by 82% and our gross profit increased by 149% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Further, advertising revenue increased 32 times for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. These increases are being powered by site traffic increases of over 17 times for the three months ending September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ending September 30, 2013 as a result of organic growth and acquisitions.  Visits to the Company’s websites increased to approximately 4,110,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately 240,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as a result of organic growth and acquisitions.

Going Concern


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained net losses attributable to common shareholders of $1,120,156 and used cash in operating activities of $1,264,443 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net losses attributable to common shareholders of $991,473 and cash used in operating activities of $947,744 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,083,564 as of September 30, 2014. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.


Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013


Revenue: The Company’s total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 82% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 and total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 128% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our revenues consist primarily of product sales (approximately 89% and 91% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014), and to a lesser extent advertising revenue.  The increase in our product sales reflects the impact of expanded product lines and increased visitor traffic.  We also increased our revenue from advertising revenue, which consists of advertising and subscriptions.  The increase reflects the impact of increased visitor traffic as a result of additional websites acquired and organic growth from cross traffic to our full family of sites.


Cost of sales: Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues was 67% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 76% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 71% as compared to 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Our gross profit margins increased to 33% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The reductions in cost of sales, resulting in increased gross profit margins, is primarily attributed to expanded product lines, strengthened purchasing power, and increased advertising revenue which has lower cost of sales than product sales.





20



 


Selling, general and administrative expenses: The Company’s total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 46% from the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses can be attributed to ongoing implementation of the Company’s business plan and our need to add employees to manage our growth. Non-cash amortization expense represents a substantial portion of the increase in total selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ending September 2014 and for the nine months ending September 30, 2014, which is new compared to the comparable periods in 2013.  The following expenses represent the material increases in our total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013:


·

payroll, payroll taxes, and employee medical expense increased by $64,179 and $173,718 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014;

·

rent increased by $4,447 and $18,589 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014;

·

stock based, non-cash compensation decreased by $9,884 as a result of forfeited stock options, and increased by $21,282 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 for new option issuances;

·

advertising and marketing expense increased by $4,283 and $41,311 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014; and

·

non-cash amortization expense, which represents amortization of the Company’s website acquisition assets, increased by $42,912 and $95,761 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.


Our cash operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by 39% from the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The Company’s cash operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by 22% from the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We anticipate that our operating expenses for the remainder of 2014 will increase from a monthly cash average of $130,000 to an approximate monthly cash average of $140,000 per month. This increase in anticipated operating expenses will be primarily affected by our need to add employees to manage our continuous growth.


Liquidity and capital resources


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of September 30, 2014 we had $380,114 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $850,777, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,162,632 and working capital of $1,298,882 at December 31, 2013. Our principal sources of operating capital have been equity financings and loans from related parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we raised $1,050,000 in capital through the sale of our securities, including $800,000 from sales to related parties, and an additional $25,000 from exercised stock options.  


We continue to use our working capital to purchase additional websites.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company spent $572,000 for the purchase of Leoaffairs.com, Fireaffairs.com, Teacheraffairs.com, Welcomehomeblog.com, FDCareers.com, Popularmilitary.com, and Thepoliceblotter.com.  Presently, our average monthly operating overhead is approximately $146,000 of which, approximately $130,000 is cash operating overhead. We intend to increase our average monthly cash operating overhead to $140,000 if we are able to raise additional capital with the initial proceeds being used for an increase in general and administrative expenses, branding, marketing, advertising and promotion, ongoing website development and operations and inventory. In the absence of additional funding, we will need to decrease our expenses, which will adversely impact on our plan of operations.


While we generated revenues of $742,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we do not anticipate that we will generate sufficient income to fund our operations for the next 12 months and we will need to raise additional working capital of at least $1,000,000. We do not have any firm commitments for this necessary capital and there are no assurances we will be successful in raising the capital upon terms and conditions, which are acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise the necessary additional working capital, absent a significant increase in our revenues, of which there is no assurance, we will be unable to continue to grow our company and may be forced to reduce certain operating expenses in an effort to conserve our working capital.

Cash flows


Net cash flows used in operating activities was $1,264,433 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $947,744 used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we used cash primarily to fund our net loss of $1,109,539, acquisitions of websites of $572,000, and increases in our inventory of more than $347,839. The increase in our inventory of 115% at September 30, 2014 from December 31, 2013 reflects both increased inventory related to an expansion of product lines as well as timing of shipments of additional inventory.


Net cash flows used in investing activities was $581,566 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $7,853 used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the purchase of fixed assets and the acquisition of websites totaling $572,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2014.


Net cash flows provided from financing activities was $1,063,491 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $816,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In both periods, cash was provided from the sale of our securities, net of repayments of debt obligations.


Critical accounting policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.


Recent accounting pronouncements


In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “ Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity—which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period.  We have elected to adopt the provisions of this ASU early, accordingly all of the past disclosures and presentations, prior to June 30, 2014, on development stage accounting have been eliminated. We have evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements, which are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


Off balance sheet arrangements


As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  These material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to:


 

·

the Company current has only one employee who is responsible for handling the cash and making deposits, posting cash receipts, writing and mailing checks, and posting cash disbursements. Our CEO reviews bank statements and reconciliations on a monthly basis as a mitigating control until such time as funds are available to the Company to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives, and

 

·

we do not currently have monitoring controls in place to ensure correct analysis and application of generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the Company is contemplating retaining an outside accountant with SEC accounting experience on an as needed basis as a monitoring control.


Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on the Company's financial reporting for the period ended September 30, 2014. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors can adversely affect reporting in the future years, when our operations become more complex and less transparent and require higher level of financial expertise from the overseeing body of the Company.


We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company:


 

·

appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;

 

·

create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; and

 

·

hire independent third parties or consultants to provide expert advice as needed.


We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have improved our internal control over financial reporting.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

B.

5.

In addition thereto, Lessee shall pay Lessor for all damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of Lessee’s retention of possession. The provisions of this Paragraph shall not limit or in any way impair or waive Lessor’s right to possession, right of re-entry or any other right or remedy given hereunder or pursuant to State or federal law.

E.

Disclaimer of Warranty : Lessee expressly disclaims any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Lessee’s intend commercial purpose, and Lessee’s obligation to pay rent hereunder is not dependent upon the condition of the Premises or the performance by Lessor of its obligations hereunder, and Lessee shall continue to pay Rent, without abatement, setoff, or deduction, notwithstanding any breach by Lessor of its duties or obligations hereunder, whether express or implied.


14.

Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold Lessor, and Lessor’s agents, managing agent, independent contractors, successors and assigns, harmless against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any and all attorneys’ fees and court costs through trial and on appeal) arising from or in any way connected with any acts, omissions, neglect or fault of Lessee, or any of Lessee’s agents, invitees, licensees, representatives, successors or assigns, including but not limited to, any Default (hereinafter defined), or any death, personal injury or property damage occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Building.


B.

Lessee shall during the Term, at Lessee’s cost and expense, keep in full force and effect a policy of public liability insurance, including workmen’s compensation coverage, and property damage insurance, with respect to all matters which arise in connection with Lessee’s operation of the Premises. The limits of public liability coverage shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 per person and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, and the property damage liability shall not be less than $1,000,000.00. The insurance policy or policies shall name Lessor, Lessor’s managing agent and Lessee as insureds, and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel or change insurance coverage without first giving Lessor twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of same. Lessee shall also carry business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to cover nine (9) months of expenses for costs, damages, lost income, expenses, Rent, additional rent and all other sums payable under this Lease, should any or all of the Premises not be habitable for any extended period. All required insurance shall be underwritten by a company or companies approved by Lessor with general policyholder’s rating of “A” as rated in the most current available “ Best’s Insurance Reports ” and qualified to do business in Florida, and a copy of the policy or policies and of the certificate(s) of such insurance and all endorsements thereto or replacements thereof, shall be delivered to Lessor immediately upon their issue.


C.

Lessee shall comply, at Lessee’s cost and expense, with any and all requirements of the Southern Underwriters’ Board and of any federal, State, and municipal government applicable to the Premises for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances, unsafe or hazardous conditions, or other grievances arising from Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises. Lessee shall also comply in a timely manner with all occupational, professional and licensing requirements applicable to Lessee’s use of the Premises. Lessee shall promptly comply with any and all fire, emergency and evacuation procedures ordered by safety and regulatory officials having jurisdiction over the Building or the Premises.


D.

Lessee shall comply with any and all requests made by Lessor’s fire or liability insurers with respect to the Building or the Premises, or both, at Lessee’s cost and expense. Lessee agrees to pay any






increase(s) in Lessor’s fire and/or liability insurance premiums over and above the rate in effect immediately prior to the date the Term commences caused by Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises.


E.

Lessee shall not do or suffer anything to be done on or about the Premises that will or may increase the rate of insurance on the Building or the Common Areas. If, by reason of the failure of Lessee to comply with the terms of this Lease, or by reason of Lessee’s occupancy (even though permitted or contemplated by this Lease), the insurance rate shall at any time be higher, or notice is given that it shall be higher, than it would otherwise be for comparable commercial office space in the area of the Building, Lessor, in its sole discretion, may require Lessee to reimburse Lessor the part of all insurance premiums charged because of such violation or occupancy by Lessee, or Lessor may require Lessee to cease any such use which causes such higher premium. Any such reimbursement shall be Additional Rent hereunder.


F.

In any event of loss or damage to the Building, the Premises, the Common Areas and or any contents, each party hereto shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the other party. To the extent possible without additional cost, each party shall obtain for each policy of such insurance, provisions permitting waiver of any claim against the other party for loss or damage within the scope of such insurance, and each party, to such extent permitted, for itself and its insurers waives all such insured claims against the other party.


15.

DIRECT CHARGES . Lessee shall pay any and all such direct charges for illumination, trash removal, garbage collection, telephone, electricity, gas, water, sewage disposal and other utilities used on the Premises directly to the providers of same promptly as and when due, including but not limited to, any and all required fees and deposits for service. Failure to timely pay same shall constitute a default hereunder.


16.

DAMAGE TO PREMISES . If the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, windstorm, civil disturbance or other casualty during the Term so that the same shall be rendered untenantable, Lessor shall have the right to render the Premises tenantable by repairs made within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of payment to Lessor of applicable insurance proceeds. Base Rent shall abate during such total casualty, but Additional Rent shall remain due and payable. If the Premises are not rendered tenantable within such time, it shall be the option of either Lessor or Lessee to terminate this Lease. If either Lessor or Lessee shall exercise its option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph, Lessee’s obligation to pay both Monthly Rent and any Additional Rent shall cease at the time of said termination. If only a part of the Premises shall be destroyed, Monthly Rent only shall be apportioned for the remaining tenantable area as determined by Lessor, in Lessor’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the damage results from the fault of Lessee, or Lessee’s agents, employees, visitors, licensees or invitees, Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent.


Although nothing contained in this Lease shall ever be construed as obligating Lessor to pay the premiums for any such insurance which Lessee is obligated to carry under this Lease, if, at any time during the continuance of this Lease, Lessee fails to deliver such policies and the evidence of payment of the premiums for such policies, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, procure the said insurance and Lessee will owe Lessor reimbursement therefor immediately as Additional Rent, but such facts will never be construed as constituting a waiver by Lessor of the default hereunder committed by Lessee.


17.

PERSONAL PROPERTY . All of Lessee’s personal property placed upon, or moved into the Premises shall be at the sole risk of Lessee, and Lessor shall not be liable (i) for any damage to any such personal property, or to Lessee or any third party, arising from the bursting or leaking of water pipes or from any other act whether by Lessor or by a third person, or (ii) for the negligence of any other person whomsoever, including without limitation, Lessor and Lessor’s agents, independent contractors, representatives, successors and assigns.


18.

CONDEMNATION . If all or any portion of the Premises shall be taken, except temporarily, by any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, this Lease shall terminate on the effective date of the final judicial order of taking. Lessor shall be entitled to all awards for such taking, except that Lessee shall be entitled to make a separate claim at the expense of Lessee against the condemning authority for moving expenses and for damages






to permitted fixtures installed in the Premises; provided, however, that any award made to Lessee shall be in addition to, and shall not reduce, any award which Lessor may claim in connection with such taking, and further provided that in no event shall Lessee have any claim for the value of any remaining portion of the Term. If only a part of the Premises shall be condemned, Monthly Rent only shall be apportioned for the remaining tenantable area as determined by Lessor, in Lessor’s sole discretion.


19.

QUIET ENJOYMENT . Upon payment by Lessee of the Monthly Rent and any Additional Rent as and when due, and upon the faithful observance and performance of all of Lessee’s covenants herein contained, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance or interruption by Lessor, or by any other person or persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under Lessor, subject, nevertheless, to all of the provisions and conditions of this Lease.


20.

CONVEYANCES AND ENCUMBRANCES . Lessor shall have the unrestricted right to convey, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Premises. This Lease is and at all times shall be automatically by its terms subject and subordinate to all present and future mortgages to which Lessor is a party and which in any way affect the Premises or any interest therein, and to all recastings, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions of any such mortgage(s). Lessee agrees, within seven (7) days of any such request, to execute any and all documents or instruments requested by Lessor or by any mortgagee(s) to evidence the said subordinate condition of this Lease, as the same may have been amended, to any such financing, and to certify, when requested by Lessor or by any mortgagee(s), that this Lease is in full force and effect. This statement, commonly referred to as an “estoppel certificate”, shall be for the benefit of Lessor, and any purchaser or mortgagee of Lessor.


21.

OWNERSHIP BY MORTGAGEE; LESSEE’S ATTORNMENT . A. If any mortgagee comes into possession or ownership of the Premises or of the Building, or acquires Lessor’s interest by foreclosure of a mortgage or otherwise, Lessee will attorn to such mortgagee. Lessee will not be entitled to a credit for Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent paid in advance in such event.


B.

If any mortgagee(s) shall request reasonable modifications to this Lease as a condition to disbursing any monies to be secured by a mortgage encumbering the Premises, Lessee agrees that, within seven

(7) days after such a request from Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor and to said mortgagee(s), evidencing such modifications; provided, however, that such modifications do not increase Lessee’s monetary obligations under this Lease or materially adversely affect Lessee’s leasehold interest created by this Lease.


22.

25.

SEVERABILITY . If any covenant or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of






such covenant or provision to persons or circumstances (other than those as to which it is held invalid or unen- forceable) shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other such covenant and provision of this Lease or portion thereof shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.


26.

TOXINS . Given the humid conditions and warm climate in Palm Beach County, Florida, molds, mildew, toxins and/or fungi may exist or develop within the Premises (hereinafter referred to as the “Toxins”). Lessee is hereby notified that certain Toxins may be, or if allowed to remain without treatment for any period of time, become toxic and pose a health risk. By leasing the Premises, Lessee shall be deemed to have understood and assumed the risks associated posed by Toxins and to release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lessor from any and liability resulting from same, including, but not limited to, any liability for incidental or consequential damages (which may result from the inability to possess all or any part of the Premises, inconvenience, moving costs, off-site leasing costs, storage costs, loss of time, lost wages, lost opportunities and/or personal injury or death). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, leaks, leaving windows or exterior doors open for extended periods of time or during wet weather, wet flooring not timely dried, and moisture will contribute to the growth of Toxins. Lessee agrees that Lessor is not liable, and the Lessor disclaims any liability, loss or damage resulting from any illness, personal injury, death or allergic reactions which may be experienced by Lessee, its employees, and/or its or their guests and invitees as a result of Toxins.


27.

REMEDIES CUMULATIVE . Lessor’s remedies under this Lease are cumulative, and the election of any right or remedy by Lessor shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy of Lessor under this Lease or otherwise.


28.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES . If, by reason of Lessee’s Default, Lessor employs an attorney to enforce Lessor’s remedies or otherwise protect Lessor’s rights under this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor any and all attorneys’ fees and court costs, through trial and on appeal, and all other costs and expenses incurred by Lessor as a result of Lessee’s Default. If any lawsuit is brought in connection with this Lease or the Premises, Lessee shall pay all attorneys’ fees and court costs, through trial and on appeal, and in any bankruptcy court action, incurred by Lessor in defense, counterclaim or crossclaim of any such action or proceeding.


29.

NO WAIVER . The failure of Lessor to insist on the performance or observance by Lessee of any one or more conditions or covenants of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such covenant or condition, and Lessee’s obligation with respect to such future performance shall continue in full force and effect.


30.

LESSOR’S PROPERTY . Lessee shall look solely to Lessor’s ownership interest in the Building for the satisfaction of any judgment or decree requiring the payment of money by Lessor, or by Lessor’s agents, representatives, successors or assigns, to Lessee, or to any person claiming by or through Lessee, in connection with this Lease, and no other property or asset of Lessor real or personal, tangible or intangible, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of any such judgment or decree.


31.

RADON GAS . Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.

CAPTIONS . The captions of the various paragraphs of this Lease have been inserted for the purposes of convenience only. Such captions are not a part of this Lease and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions contained in this Lease.






34.

DEFAULT/REMEDIES . A. Lessee shall be in default hereunder if (i) Lessee fails to pay in full when due the Base Rent, as adjusted from time to time as herein provided, any Additional Rent hereunder, or any other sums payable under this Lease; (ii) Lessee fails to observe and perform any of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Lease not contemplated by clauses (i) or (iii) of this sentence and such default shall continue for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee; or (iii) the Premises shall be abandoned, deserted or vacated at any time during the Term of this Lease. The Premises and trade fixtures, equipment and furniture situated thereon shall be conclusively deemed abandoned by Lessee upon fifteen (15) consecutive days absence from the Premises by Lessee or its agents (unless such absence results from fire or other casualty) together with the failure to pay all rent due hereunder. In such event Lessor may enter the Premises and may remove all remaining trade fixtures and equipment at Lessee’s expense. All such property shall, at Lessor’s option, become the property of Lessor, or said property may be placed in storage at Lessee’s cost and expense, or sold or otherwise disposed of, in which event the proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall belong to Lessor.


Default shall also occur if at any time during the Term there shall be filed by or against Lessee or its permitted successors, or assigns, then in possession of the Premises, in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any state or foreign jurisdiction, a petition (1) in bankruptcy, (2) alleging insolvency, (3) for reorganization, (4) for the appointment of a receiver, or (5) for an arrangement under the Bankruptcy Acts or Codes, or if a similar type of proceeding shall be filed and said proceeding is not set aside, vacated, discharged or bonded within thirty (30) days after the institution of same, then Lessor may terminate Lessee’s rights under this Lease by notice in writing to Lessee, and thereupon Lessee shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises to Lessor, but Lessee shall continue to be liable for the payment of Rent and all other sums due hereunder.


B.

Remedies: In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessor may (1) cure Lessee’s default at Lessee’s cost and expense, and/or (2) reenter the Premises and remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable for any prosecution therefor or damages therefrom, and repossess and enjoy the Premises, with all additions, alterations and improvements, and Lessor may, at its option, repair, alter, remodel and/or change the character of the Premises as it may deem fit, and/or (3) at any time relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, as the agent of Lessee or in Lessor’s own right, and/or (4) terminate this Lease upon not less than three (3) days written notice to Lessee, but in which event Lessee shall remain liable for all Rent.


C.

In any case where Lessor has retaken possession of the Premises by reason of Lessee’s default or seeks such a retaking, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, occupy the Premises or cause the Premises to be redecorated, altered, divided, consolidated with other adjoining Premises, or otherwise changed or prepared for reletting, and may relet the Premises or any part thereof as agent of Lessee or otherwise, for a term or terms to expire prior to, at the same time as, or subsequent to, the original expiration date of this Lease, at Lessor’s option, and receive the rent therefor. Rent so received shall be applied first to the payment of such expenses as Lessor may have incurred in connection with the recovery of possession, redecorating, altering, dividing, consolidating and other adjoining Premises, or otherwise changing or preparing for reletting, and the reletting, including brokerage and reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees in bankruptcy, appellate and post-judgment proceedings. Thereafter, such rent shall be applied to the payment of damages in an amount equal to the rent hereunder, as adjusted and Additional Rent, and to the cost and expenses of performance of the other covenants of Lessee as herein provided. Lessee agrees, in any such case, whether or not Lessor has relet, to pay to Lessor damages equal to the Base Rent as adjusted and Additional Rent due hereunder, and other sums herein agreed to be paid by Lessee, less the net proceeds of the reletting, if any, as ascertained from time to time, and the same shall be payable by Lessee on dates as provided for in Article 2 above. In reletting the Premises as aforesaid, Lessor may grant rent concessions, and Lessee shall not be credited therewith. No such reletting shall constitute a surrender and acceptance or be deemed evidence thereof. If Lessor elects, pursuant hereto, actually to occupy and use the Premises or any part thereof during any part of the balance of the Term as originally fixed or since extended, there shall be allowed against Lessee’s obligation for rent or damages as herein defined, during the period of Lessor’s occupancy, the reasonable value of such occupancy, not to exceed in any event the rent herein reserved and such occupancy shall not relieve Lessee of its liability hereunder. Lessee hereby waives all right of






redemption to which Lessee or any person claiming under Lessee might be entitled by any law now or hereafter in force. Lessor’s remedies hereunder are in addition to any remedy allowed by law or in equity.


D.

The exercise by Lessor of any right granted in this Article shall not relieve Lessee from the obligation to make all rental payments, and to fulfill all other covenants required by this Lease, at the time and in the manner provided herein. In the event of a default, if Lessor so desires, all current and future rent and other monetary obligations due hereunder shall become immediately due and payable. This includes any additions to Rent herein provided for the period from the date of an event of default until the end of the Term of this Lease, a sum equal to the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid hereunder by Lessee, multiplied by the number of calendar months or portions thereof remaining in the Term of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to relet the Premises nor exercise any other right granted to Lessor hereunder. If Lessor attempts to relet the Premises, the Lessor shall be the sole judge as to whether or not a proposed Lessee is suitable and acceptable.


In the event of a breach by Lessee of any covenants or provisions hereof, Lessor shall have, in addition to any other remedies which it may have, the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity to enforce Lessor’s rights or any of them, as if re-entry and other remedies were not herein provided for. Lessee agrees that no demand for Rent and no re-entry for condition broken and no notice to quit possession or other notices prescribed by statute shall be necessary to enable Lessor to recover such possession, but that all right to any such demand and any such re-entry and any notice to quit possession or other statutory notices or prerequisites are hereby waived by Lessee.


The maintenance of any action or proceeding to recover possession of the Premises, or any installment or installments of Rent or any other monies that may be due, or become due from Lessee to Lessor, shall not preclude Lessor from thereafter instituting and maintaining subsequent actions or proceedings for the recovery of possession of the Premises or of any other monies that may be due or become due from Lessee. Any entry or re-entry by Lessor shall not be deemed to absolve or discharge Lessee from liability hereunder.

INVESTOR RELATIONS CONSULTING AGREEMENT


THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made by and between Bright Mountain Acquisition Corporation (OTC BB: BMAQ) (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “BMAQ”), and Hayden IR (hereinafter referred to as the “Consultant” or “HIR”).

The Company believes that the Consultant’s knowledge, expertise and experience would benefit the Company, and the Company desires to retain the Consultant to perform consulting services for the Company under this Agreement.


Program Objectives:


The program is designed to achieve these results through numerous activities as described below in Sections II and III:


·

Increase the number of shareholders.

·

Develop an active market for the public shares.

·

Achieve an appropriate market valuation based on comparable companies in the same sector and of a similar size.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual agreements and covenants contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in further consideration of the affixation by the parties of their respective signatures below, the parties agree as follows:


I.

CONSULTING SERVICES


1.1

HIR agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months commencing on September 15, 2014, the Consultant will reasonably be available during regular business hours to advise, counsel and inform designated officers and employees of the Company about the various industries and businesses in which BMAQ is engaged, financial markets and exchanges, competitors, business acquisitions and other aspects of or concerning the Company’s business about which HIR has knowledge or expertise.


1.2

HIR shall render services to the Company as an independent contractor, and not as an employee.   All services rendered by HIR on behalf of the Company shall be performed to the best of HIR’s ability in concert with the overall business plan of the Company and the goals and objectives of the Company’s management and Board of Directors.

II.

SCOPE OF SERVICES/PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES :


HIR will develop, implement, and maintain an ongoing stock market support system for BMAQ through a coordinated program of  proactive telephone and non-deal roadshow campaigns to expand awareness among all appropriate members of the investment community, including stockbrokers, analysts, and micro-cap portfolio/fund managers. The program will be predicated on accurate, deliberate and direct disclosure and information flow from the Company and dissemination to the appropriate investor audiences; we will expand your shareholder base by marketing to the buyside directly as well as by marketing to the sellside and pursuing research coverage as appropriate.  Key information to be articulated to the investing public includes:


·

A better understanding of the core growth opportunities and key drivers for the end-market being addressed;

·

The extent of the Company s growth plans, capital requirements, and operating leverage;

·

Establishing and articulating the key operating, growth, and valuation metrics that investors/shareholders should focus on to judge future performance. Answering the question, “why should an investor invest in BMAQ?”



1.

PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT COMMUNITY AWARENESS


A.

Conference calls/meetings arranged by HIR with BMAQ in select cities (and at compatible times) with executive management at BMAQ.  Target cities shall include New York, Boston, Baltimore/Washington Metropolitan area, Philadelphia, Greenwich/Stamford, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, Denver, Atlanta, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Southern California, San Francisco, and other select cities that express interest. Our mutual goal is to optimize when and where possible a mix of approximately five to eight meetings in a single day and to combine contacts when possible to maximize “throughput.”  HIR at a minimum will commit to executing three (3) days of road shows per quarter. In addition to formal “road shows” we will set up teleconference calls for management with interested investors per management’s availability as we find interest in-between/outside of road shows.

B.

All interested parties will be continually updated of the Company’s progress via phone conversations and through our fax/e-mail list for news releases.

C.

HIR will screen all investment firms for upcoming financial conferences, which would be appropriate for BMAQ. HIR will work through the proper channels with the goal of receiving invitations for management to present at those conferences which are relevant.


2.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS  


A.

On a regular basis HIR will contact known key shareholders, research analysts, and other prospective sources of capital markets support and gather perception feedback for BMAQ executive management on their views and expectations of results, valuation, and management’s execution relative to expectations.

B.

HIR will open dialogue, expand and update a database of known and potential shareholders and keep key investors informed once material developments are reported.

C.

HIR will during the first 30 days of this agreement undertake an analysis of BMAQ’s financials and all operating metrics in detail and keep updated on these metrics allowing interactions with new and current investors and articulating the necessary information to assist professionals in completing their due diligence.



2




D.

HIR shall handle investor requests for timely information fulfillment via the telephone and e-mail. HIR will have a knowledgeable senior professional available during market hours to field and respond to all investor inquiries and update the shareholder database accordingly. This is a time intensive service that allows management to focus on executing while showing the Company is shareholder friendly and proactive in its communication efforts.

E.

HIR will at the minimum provide same day fulfillment for all investor package requests received prior to 4 p.m. EST with next day fulfillment received after such time.  Fulfillment will be provided electronically where possible and HIR will work with BMAQ in developing any and all either printed or electronically developed approved investor materials.  

F.

HIR shall assist BMAQ with quarterly conference calls to accompany the release of quarterly and annual financial results. HIR will assist with scripting these calls and monitoring the continuity to ensure a smooth roll-out for investors.  HIR will further assist BMAQ in working with third parties to facilitate any recorded and printed transcripts and 8-K filings as part of BMAQ regulatory filing requirements.


3.

THE FINANCIAL PRESS


HIR will assist executive management in drafting and supporting BMAQ in delivering complete press releases on all material events as deemed by the Company to the investing public.  Executive Management and corporate counsel, when required by BMAQ’s press release policy and procedures, will approve all press releases before they are sent to the wire. We have negotiated volume discounts with a top-tier wire service vendor and shall pass through those significantly discounted pricing plans on a wide range of services to BMAQ. At Company’s discretion, HIR will disseminate news releases through a Broadcast Fax and/or electronic mail (e-mail) to our established database of financial professionals including: special situation analysts, brokers, fund managers, individual investors, money managers, and current or prospective individual shareholders who are already invested or have expressed an interest in BMAQ.


4.

PUBLIC MARKET INSIGHT


Paramount to our collective efforts, HIR will discuss with executive management the importance of establishing conservative expectations and how various corporate actions may be perceived and impact the public market. HIR has the capability to help assess acquisition candidates, discuss the financial impacts, in addition to the longer term implications. We will assist executive management in understanding the life cycle of the financial markets and how BMAQ is impacted directly and indirectly by different variables. The Team at HIR leverages its collective expertise gained through representing over 200 public companies to help our clients understand expectations, valuations, perceptions, and investment methodologies utilized by investment professionals. We believe this consulting aspect of our business is extremely valuable for management to optimize key opportunities and to avoid pitfalls.
