NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1 - Organization and Operations

6D Global Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “6D Global”) is a digital business solutions company serving the digital marketing and technology needs of enterprise-class organizations worldwide.  6D Global offers a full suite of services and solutions to help large organizations optimize digital business channels and create better experiences for their customers.  Services include web content management, web analytics, marketing automation, mobile applications, business intelligence, marketing cloud, and IT infrastructure staffing solutions. In addition, the Company provides digital marketing and digital technology consulting services to leading enterprises during periods of critical change and growth.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

The following transactions were accounted for using the purchase accounting method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

Storycode

On March 4, 2015, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the two co-founders (the “Interests”) of Topaz Interactive, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company doing business as “Storycode” pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Storycode SPA”) dated as of that date.

Storycode is headquartered in Portland, Oregon and provides mobile development and creative design services for medium and large businesses.  Storycode creates mobile applications that feature award-winning UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) design working exclusively with the Adobe DPS platform.
 
In consideration for the Interests, the Company paid Ms. Topaz and Mr. Porath, the two members of Storycode (collectively, the “Storycode Members”): cash in the amount of $300,000; an additional $300,000 paid in escrow to be earned by the members upon the one year anniversary of their employment; an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and additional, potential earn-out shares of Common Stock based on Storycode’s financial performance for the three years following the closing of the acquisition.  The Company also agreed to employment agreements with the Storycode Members.  Total acquisition costs for the Storycode acquisition incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $38,970 and $86,161, respectively, and are included in selling general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net book values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to intangible assets based on management’s best estimate of fair values, taking into account all relevant information available at the time of acquisition, and the excess was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets are being amortized over their expected period of benefit.

The Company’s allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of Storycode was calculated as follows:

Cash
  $ 300,000  
Stock consideration
    1,953,000  
Contingent consideration
    2,050,000  
Total consideration
  $ 4,303,000  

The consideration transferred for the Storycode acquisition was allocated across the net assets of the Company as follows:

6D GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
The following are the criteria contained in the Storycode SPA related to the contingent consideration payable to Storycode:

1.  
After one year of employment with the Company, the Storycode Members will receive $300,000 cash, which was placed in escrow at the closing of the transaction.
2.  
From April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2018, and based on performance milestones and other terms set forth in the Storycode SPA, the Storycode Members may receive up to 400,000 restricted shares of 6D Global’s Common Stock.

The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $2,050,000.  The potential range of contingent consideration can range from $0 cash and no issuance of Common Stock, in the event that the Storycode Members are not employed by the Company for one year and the performance milestones are not reached, to $300,000 in cash and 400,000 restricted shares of the Buyer Common Stock. The Company recorded the potential earn-out of 400,000 restricted shares which is part of the purchase price in the amount of $2,050,000 as additional paid-in capital included in stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Since the contingent cash consideration is contingent upon the Storycode Members remaining employees of the Company for a one year period, the Company will record this as compensation expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SwellPath

On March 20, 2015, the Company, entered into and consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SwellPath SPA”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “SwellPath Shares”) of SwellPath, Inc., (“SwellPath”) an Oregon corporation.

SwellPath is a professional services firm that delivers analytics consulting, search engine optimization and digital advertising services to medium and large scale enterprises across North America.  SwellPath enables clients to align and maximize their digital marketing initiatives by tracking both on and offline marketing campaigns and performing more effective targeting to enhance return on investment.  SwellPath complements the Company’s overall acquisition strategy to provide a full-service digital marketing solutions offering to its clients, particularly in areas where the Company’s clients have expressed needs, while leveraging the Company’s partnership with Adobe Systems Incorporated to expand its Adobe Analytics offering.

The purchase price for the SwellPath Shares was comprised of: (i) cash in the amount of $300,000; (ii) 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock; and (iii) up to an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock and $650,000, based upon the achievement by SwellPath of certain performance milestones within the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the transaction.  In addition, the Company acquired all of the goodwill associated with SwellPath from its founder, Adam Ware, for cash in the amount $300,000.  Also, the Company agreed to an employment agreement with Mr. Ware to serve as Vice-President, containing customary terms, conditions and covenants for such an agreement.  Total acquisition costs incurred for the SwellPath acquisition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $37,806 and $83,030, respectively and are included in selling general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net book values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to intangible assets based on management’s best estimate of fair values, taking into account all relevant information available at the time of acquisition, and the excess was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets are being amortized over their expected period of benefit.

The Company’s allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of SwellPath was calculated as follows:

Cash
  $ 600,000  
Stock consideration
    1,743,750

Total consideration

If SwellPath’s financial performance for the period from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 exceeds certain performance milestones and other terms set forth in the SwellPath SPA, SwellPath may receive up to 300,000 restricted shares of 6D Global’s Common Stock.
 
The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1,750,000.  The potential range of contingent consideration can ranged from $0 cash and no issuance of Common Stock, in the event SwellPath fails to achieve the minimum financial performance in the required time, to $650,000 in cash and 300,000 shares of Common Stock, in the event SwellPath achieves the financial performance target as of March 31, 2017.  The Company recorded contingent consideration in the amount of $472,041 as a liability on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets which represents the fair value of the cash contingent consideration. The Company recorded the potential earn-out of 300,000 restricted shares in the amount of $1,277,959 as additional paid-in capital included in stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $124,213 of related accretion associated with the cash contingent consideration as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company will continue to assess earn-out calculations related to the contingent consideration in future periods and any future adjustments will affect operating income.

Note 3 - Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, for any other interim period or for any other future year.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2015 (the “2014 Form 10-K”), as amended on March 31, 2015 (the “2014 Form 10-K/A”).
 
Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include all of its accounts and any intercompany balances have been eliminated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The Company has three subsidiaries, Six Dimensions Inc., Storycode, and SwellPath organized as two operating segments that are combined into one reporting segment.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowances, leases and income taxes.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values.  ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.  Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination.  Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.  If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments.  Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
 
 
6D GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using third-party valuations.  The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method.  Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value.  The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships, the trade names and non-compete agreements acquired were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, relief of royalty method and discounted cash flow methods, respectively.

The multi-period excess earnings method used to value customer relationships requires the use of assumptions, the most significant of which include: the remaining useful life, expected revenue, survivor curve, earnings before interest and tax margins, marginal tax rate, contributory asset charges, discount rate and tax amortization benefit.

The most significant assumptions under the relief of royalty method used to value trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit.  The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate.  Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company.  These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

The discounted cash flow valuation method requires the use of assumptions, the most significant of which include: future revenue growth, future earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, estimated synergies to be achieved by a market participant as a result of the business combination, marginal tax rate, terminal value growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and discount rate.
 
Contingent Consideration
 
The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration is based on the Company’s evaluation as to the probability and amount of any earn-out that will be achieved based on expected future performance by the acquired entity. The Company utilizes a third-party valuation firm to assist in the calculation of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date. The Company evaluates the forecast of the acquired entity and the probability of earn-out provisions being achieved when it evaluates the contingent consideration at initial acquisition date and at each subsequent reporting period. The fair value of contingent consideration is measured at each reporting period and adjusted as necessary.  The Company evaluates the terms in contingent consideration arrangements provided to former owners of acquired companies who become employees of the Company to determine if such amounts are part of the purchase price of the acquired entity or compensation.

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost.  Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test.  Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1st of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment model permits, and the Company utilizes, a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment.  In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis.  If the net book values of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would then perform the second step of the impairment test which requires allocation of the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations. Any residual fair value is being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of our reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

Long-Lived Assets, Including definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets.

Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of trade names, non-compete agreements and customer relationships.  For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset's carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows.  The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value.  When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

Leases

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) Transfer of ownership; (b) Bargain purchase option; (c) The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property; (d) The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.

If at its inception a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the lessee as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the lessee as an operating lease.

Contingencies

Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business.  The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company provides its services under time-and-materials contracts.  Revenues earned under time-and-material arrangements are recognized as services are provided.  The Company recognizes revenue from the provision of professional services when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Appropriate allowances for discounts are recorded concurrent with revenue recognition.

For fixed price service arrangements the company applies the proportional performance model to recognize revenue.  When customer acceptance provisions exist, the company is generally able to reliably demonstrate that the service meets, or will meet upon completion, the customer acceptance criteria.  If circumstances exist which prevent the company from verifying compliance with the acceptance provisions until the service has been completed, revenue is not recognized until compliance can be verified.

Revenues recognized in excess of the amounts invoiced to clients are classified as unbilled revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the balance of unbilled revenue was $542,462 and $62,049, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 605, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses, the Company classifies reimbursed expenses as revenue and the related expense within cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the reimbursed expenses of $396,399 and $0 respectively, were included in revenue.

The Company may record deferred revenue in circumstances where the customer’s contract calls for pre-billing of services.  Amounts in deferred revenue are realized when the services are provided and the criteria noted above are met.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance of deferred revenues was $271,203 and $68,420, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statements for all entities with complex capital structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not have diluted shares as its warrants were not issued at this time.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company established an Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) during 2015 and issued stock-based awards to certain individuals under this plan.  The Company’s board of directors approved the Plan on January 22, 2015 as disclosed in the Company’s Form DEF-14C filed on February 5, 2015 and the Plan became effective on February 25, 2015.  The purpose of the Plan is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified officers, non-employee directors, key employees, consultants and advisors, and to motivate such service providers to serve the Company and to expend maximum effort to improve the business results and earnings of the Company, by providing to such persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Company.  The Plan also allows the Company to promote greater ownership in the Company by such service providers in order to align their interests more closely with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.  The Company’s policy going forward will be to issue awards under the Plan.

The Plan will provide the Company with flexibility as to the types of incentive compensation awards that it may provide, including awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards.  The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 4,800,000, all of which may be granted as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) Section 422.
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation.  Accordingly, stock-based compensation for employees and non-employee directors is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  This model contains certain assumptions including expected volatility is a combination of the Company’s competitors’ historical volatility over the expected life of the option, the risk-free rate of return based on the Unites States treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the option, the expected life based on the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding using historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination; and dividend yield based on history and expectation of dividend payments   Stock options generally vest ratably over the terms stated in each Award Agreement and are exercisable over a period up to ten years.

The Company’s stock-based compensation expense is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period and is reduced for estimated future forfeitures which are revised in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates.  Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation expense in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities of the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  The U.S. GAAP guidance for income taxes prescribes a two-step approach for the financial statement recognition and measurement of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return.  The first step evaluates an income tax position in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  The second step measures the benefit to be recognized in the financial statements for those income tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold. U.S. GAAP also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, recognition and classification of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosers and transition.  Under U.S. GAAP, the Company may recognize a previously unrecognized tax benefit if the tax position is effectively (rather than “ultimately”) settled through examination, negotiation or litigation.  The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis.  This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues, and new audit activity.  Any changes in these factors could result in changes to a tax benefit or tax provision.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115.” This ASU amends the current Accounting Standards Codification to coincide with language provided by in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 115. The amendments in this update are effective upon issuance and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
 
6D GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is permitted but not before the original effective date (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). When effective, ASU 2014-09 will use either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.

Reclassification

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in June 30, 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements.  The results of the reclassification did not affect our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Internal Developed Software

ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Subtopic 350-40, Internal-Use Software specifies standards of financial accounting and reporting for the costs of internal-use computer software.

The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the development of internal-use software. Internal-use software development costs capitalized for the six and twelve month period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, are reflected in the following table:

Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three level hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
Level 1
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
   
Level 2
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
   
Level 3
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, unbilled revenues, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable, and due to factor, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company’s capital lease liability and notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

In accordance with ASC 718, Share Based Payment (“ASC 718”), total compensation expense for stock based compensation awards was $399,873 and $421,647 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.  Expenses for stock based compensation is included on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in cost of goods sold of $61,682 and $61,682 as well as in selling general and administrative expense of $338,191 and $359,965 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015, there was $2,509,854 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options.

The Black Scholes valuation model requires the Company to estimate key assumptions such as expected volatility, expected terms, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The Company determined the assumptions in the Black Scholes valuation model as follows: expected volatility is a combination of the Company’s competitors’ historical volatility; expected term is calculated using the “simplified” method prescribed in ASC 718; and the risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield on 5 and 7-year instruments in effect at the time of grant. A dividend yield is not used, as the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions and modifies the assumptions accordingly.
 
As part of the requirements of ASC 718, the Company is required to estimate potential forfeitures of stock option and restricted stock unit grants and adjust compensation cost recorded accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock based compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. The fair values of stock option and restricted stock unit grants are amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grants. Compensation expense recognized is shown in the operating activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 18 - Business and Geographic Segment Information

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments.  Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.  The Company has determined that its two reportable segments are Content Management Systems (“CMS”) and Information Technology Staffing (“IT Staffing”).  CMS offers web content management solutions, marketing cloud solutions, mobile applications, analytics, front-end user experience and design, and marketing automation.  The IT Staffing segment provides contract and contract-to-hire IT professional staffing services.

There are currently no intersegment revenues.  Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment.  The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements which are described in Note 3 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 19 - Subsequent Events

On July 14, 2015, the Company issued 11,723 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for 20,000 warrants which were issued on September 29, 2014 to certain employees with an exercise price of $2.21 and a remaining life of 4.27 years as of the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
 
On July 27, 2015, the Company terminated its factor agreement with Porter Capital.  The same day an Asset Based Lending Agreement (the “ABL”) was implemented with The California Bank of Commerce.  The Company may borrow up to $3,000,000 of their eligible Accounts Receivable.  Interest accrues at a rate of 3.75% plus the prime rate with a minimum of 7.00%.  In connection with this Letter of Credit the Company paid $22,500 in fees which will be recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  The letter of credit automatically renews annually unless the Company provides prior written notice of its intent to cancel the agreement.  Through the ABL the Company will achieve lower interest expenses and greater scalability in their credit facility.
 
On August 10, 2015, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a single institutional investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 1,088 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a fixed conversion price of $5.25 per share, at a purchase price of $10,000 per share with an 8% original issue discount, for total gross proceeds of $10.0 million, or the sale of approximately $10.88 million.  The dividend rate amounts to 8.5% per annum subject to certain upward or downward adjustments with a maximum dividend rate of 17.0% and a minimum dividend rate of 0.0%, and will accrue until conversion, redemption or maturity.  Series A Preferred Stock shall mature seven years following the issuance date, at which time such shares will automatically convert into shares of common stock. Upon conversion, the Company shall pay the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock being converted a conversion premium equal to the amount of dividends that such shares would have otherwise received if they had been held through the maturity date. The dividends and conversion premium may be paid in cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of common stock. If the Company elects to pay the dividends or conversion premium amount in the form of common stock, the number of shares to be issued shall be calculated (subject to adjustment under certain triggering events) by using 90.0% of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average prices during the measurement period, less $0.05 per share of common stock, not to exceed 100% of the lowest sales price on the last day of such measurement period, less $0.05 per share of common stock. The Company will not issue any of its common stock that would result in the holder being deemed to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the total common stock outstanding at any one-time (which may be increased to 9.99% at the option of the holder).  The net proceeds of the transaction are intended is to be used to finance potential future acquisitions, global expansion, increase sales and marketing efforts, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital to foster the Company’s continued growth.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 3Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices”, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowances, leases and income taxes.
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, for any other interim period or for any other future year.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2015 (the “2014 Form 10-K”) as amended on March 31, 2015 (the “2014 Form 10-K/A”).

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include all of its accounts and any intercompany balances have been eliminated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The Company has three subsidiaries, Six Dimensions Inc., Storycode, and SwellPath organized as two operating segments that are combined into one reporting segment.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.
 
 
25


Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowances, leases and income taxes.
 
Business Combinations

We account for our business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values.  ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.  Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination.  Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.  If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, we record the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments.  Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using third-party valuations.  The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method.  Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value.  The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships, the trade names and non-compete agreements acquired were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, relief of royalty method and discounted cash flow methods, respectively.

The multi-period excess earnings method used to value customer relationships requires the use of assumptions, the most significant of which include: the remaining useful life, expected revenue, survivor curve, earnings before interest and tax margins, marginal tax rate, contributory asset charges, discount rate and tax amortization benefit.

The most significant assumptions under the relief of royalty method used to value trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit.  The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate.  Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company.  These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

The discounted cash flow valuation method requires the use of assumptions, the most significant of which include: future revenue growth, future earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, estimated synergies to be achieved by a market participant as a result of the business combination, marginal tax rate, terminal value growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and discount rate.

Contingent Consideration
 
The fair value of the our contingent consideration is based on management’s evaluation as to the probability and amount of any earn-out that will be achieved based on expected future performance by the acquired entity. We utilize a third-party valuation firm to assist in the calculation of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date.  We evaluate the forecast of the acquired entity and the probability of earn-out provisions being achieved when it evaluates the contingent consideration at initial acquisition date and at each subsequent reporting period.  The fair value of contingent consideration is measured at each reporting period and adjusted as necessary.  Our management evaluates the terms in contingent consideration arrangements provided to former owners of acquired companies who become employees of the Company to determine if such amounts are part of the purchase price of the acquired entity or compensation.
 
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost.  Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test.  Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1st of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment model permits, and we utilize, a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment.  In the first step, we determine the fair value of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis.  If the net book values of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would then perform the second step of the impairment test which requires allocation of the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations. Any residual fair value is being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of our reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 
26


Long-Lived Assets, Including definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets.

Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of trade names, non-compete agreements and customer relationships.  For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset's carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows.  We measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value.  When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

Leases

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) Transfer of ownership; (b) Bargain purchase option; (c) The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property; (d) The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.

If at its inception a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the lessee as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the lessee as an operating lease.

Contingencies

Occasionally, we may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business.  We record a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

We provide our services under time-and-materials contracts.  Revenues earned under time-and-material arrangements are recognized as services are provided.  We recognize revenue from the provision of professional services when it is realized or realizable and earned.  We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Appropriate allowances for returns and discounts are recorded concurrent with revenue recognition.

For fixed price service arrangements we apply the proportional performance model to recognize revenue.  When customer acceptance provisions exist, the company is generally able to reliably demonstrate that the service meets, or will meet upon completion, the customer acceptance criteria.  If circumstances exist which prevent us from verifying compliance with the acceptance provisions until the service has been completed, revenue is not recognized until compliance can be verified.
 
In accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursement Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses, we classify reimbursed expenses as revenue and the related expense within cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenues recognized in excess of the amounts invoiced to clients are classified as unbilled revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We may record deferred revenue in circumstances where the customer’s contract calls for pre-billing of services.  Amounts in deferred revenue are realized when the services are performed and the criteria noted above are met.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We follow ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statements for all entities with complex capital structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 
27


Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based award programs are intended to attract, retain and reward employees, officers, directors and consultants, and to align stockholder and employee interests.  We granted stock-based awards to certain individuals in 2015 under our 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
 
Compensation expense for stock-based awards is based on the fair value of the awards at the measurement date and is included in operating expenses.  The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions including: expected volatility is a combination of our competitors’ historical volatility over the expected life of the option, the risk-free rate of return based on the United States treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the option, the expected life based on the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding using historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination; and dividend yield based on history and expectation of dividend payments. Stock options generally vest ratably over a three-year period and are exercisable over a period up to ten years.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities of the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  The U.S. GAAP guidance for income taxes prescribes a two-step approach for the financial statement recognition and measurement of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return.  The first step evaluates an income tax position in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  The second step measures the benefit to be recognized in the financial statements for those income tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold. U.S. GAAP also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, recognition and classification of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosers and transition.  Under U.S. GAAP, we may recognize previously unrecognized tax benefits if the tax position is effectively (rather than “ultimately”) settled through examination, negotiation or litigation.  We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis.  This evaluation based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues, and new audit activity.  Any changes in these factors could result in changes to a tax benefit or tax provision.

Reclassification

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in June 30, 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements.  The results of the reclassification did not affect our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Internal Developed Software  

ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Subtopic 350-40, Internal-Use Software specifies standards of financial accounting and reporting for the costs of internal-use computer software.

Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the loan balance of $456,563 was eliminated as we treated the loan balance as a stockholder distribution. No amounts were due from the related party at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Revenues

Our revenue increased by approximately 10% to $3,220,343 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $2,935,412 during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of professional service projects and contracts that we had with our current clients and newly added clients as well as additional revenue from acquired businesses.  There was also an increase in the amount of pass through expenses invoiced to our clients. This was partially offset by a decrease in our staffing services revenue.  We continue to expand our services being offered in multiple areas of the digital marketing segment through organic efforts and acquisitions and our sales and marketing efforts continue to lend to our ability to win more business.  6D Global is primarily focused on digital technology solutions and becoming a one stop provider to Chief Marketing Officers.  We anticipate these digital marketing service offerings will continue to drive growth in our client base and sales results.

Cost of revenues

Our cost of revenues increased by approximately 22% to $2,041,679 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $1,672,646 during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to increase in labor costs related to support the change in revenues and increases in the amount of pass through expenses billed to the client over the prior year.  Share based compensation related to employee stock option grants.  Also additional consultative staff hired through recruiting efforts and acquired companies to increase our ability to provide service to our clients.  We continually monitor the utilization of our salaried billable consultants.

Gross Margin

Our gross profit margin was 37% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 43% during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in gross margin is due to a change in the mix of services provided in project-based work provided to our clients in the digital market space coupled with additional expense related to share based compensation from employee stock option grants.  We continually monitor the utilization of our salaried billable consultants as changes will directly affect the number of billable hours in a billing cycle, therefore causing fluctuations in gross margin percentages.
 
Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel and costs related to our facilities, finance, human resources, information technology and fees for professional services.  Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publically traded company.
 
 
29

 
Our operating expenses increased by 268% during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The overall $2,232,039 increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following increases and decreases in operating expenses:
 
·  
An increase in compensation and related expenses of $855,143, related to additional executive, management, and sales positions to provide proper infrastructure and foster growth as well as additional staff from the acquired companies.
·  
An increase of selling general and administrative expenses due to an increase of $301,212 in costs related to travel, sales activity, and marketing associated with efforts to grow our business.
·  
An increase of approximately $256,435 in professional fees for the use of outside services, consultants, accounting firms and legal firms to assist with the acquisitions and company activities related to being a publicly traded company.  These fees included services related to preparing public filings and other activities associated with being a publicly traded company.
·  
An increase in costs related to rent from acquisitions and office expansions of $149,611. An increase of depreciation expense and amortization of intangibles expense of $135,993 also related to the acquisitions and office expansion.
·  
An increase of share base compensation related to stock options grants of $338,189.
·  
An increase in costs related to employee training and software system used by the company associated with efforts to grow the business.

Other Expenses, net

Other expenses, net consisted primarily of interest expense primarily related to our promissory notes and capital leases accretion associated with acquisition related contingent consideration, loss on debt extinguishment and other income.
 
Other expenses, net increased by $66,761 to $148,024 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to other expense, net of $81,263 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 which included an interest income entry related to the settlement of the related party note partially offset by additional sub-lease rental income.  For the three months ended June 30, 2015, other expenses, net consisted of $30,614 interest expense, accretion associated with acquisition related contingent consideration of $124,213 which is included in interest expense, and $6,803 of other income.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 other expenses, net consisted of $157,049 in interest expense, and a loss of $802 on debt extinguishment offset by $76,588 in miscellaneous income.

Revenues

Our revenue increased by approximately 16% to $6,495,928 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $5,589,987 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of professional service projects and contracts that we had with our current clients and newly added clients as well as additional revenue from acquired businesses.  Also an increase in the amount of pass through expenses invoiced to our customers.  This was partially offset by a decrease in our staffing services revenue.  We continue to expand our services being offered in multiple areas of the digital marketing segment through organic efforts and acquisitions and our sales and marketing efforts continue to lend to our ability to win more business.  6D Global is primarily focused on digital technology solutions and becoming a one stop provider to Chief Marketing Officers.  We anticipate these digital marketing service offerings will continue to drive growth in our client base and sales results.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues increased by approximately 22% to $3,945,507 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $3,238,612 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to increase in labor costs related to support the change in revenues and increases in the amount of pass through expenses billed to the clients over the prior year. Additional expense from share based compensation related to employee stock option grants.

Gross Margin

Our gross profit margin was 39% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 42% during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in gross margin is due to a change in the mix of professional services in the project-based work provided to our clients in digital market space coupled with additional expense related to share based compensation from employee stock option grants.  We continually monitor the utilization of our salaried billable consultants as changes will directly affect the number of billable hours in a billing cycle, therefore causing fluctuations in gross margin percentages.
 
Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel and costs related to our facilities, finance, human resources, information technology and fees for professional services.  Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publically traded company.
 
Our operating expenses increased by 205% during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The overall $3,334,715 increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following increases and decreases in operating expenses:
 
 
·  
An increase in compensation and related expenses of $1,230,558, related to additional executive, management, and sales positions to provide proper infrastructure and foster growth as well as additional staff from the acquired companies.
·  
An increase of selling general and administrative expenses due to an increase of $541,237 in costs relating to travel, sales activity, and marketing associated with efforts to grow our business.
·  
An increase of approximately $704,394 in professional fees for the use of outside services, consultants, accounting firms and legal firms to assist with the acquisitions and company activities related to being a publicly traded company.  These fees included services related to preparing public filings and other activities associated with being a publicly traded company.
 
 
31

 
·  
An increase in costs related to rent from acquisitions and office expansions of $190,898. An increase of depreciation expense and amortization of intangibles expense of $175,905 also related to the acquisitions and office expansion.
·  
An increase of share base compensation related to stock options grants of $359,965.
·  
An increase in costs related to office expenditures from the acquisitions and office expansions, employee training, and software system used by the company associated with efforts to grow the business.

Other Expenses, net
 
Other expenses, net consisted primarily of interest expense primarily related to our promissory notes and capital leases, accretion associated with acquisition related contingent consideration, loss on debt extinguishment and other income.
 
Other expenses, net increased by $99,591 to $181,028 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to other expense, net of $81,437 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 which included an interest income entry related to the settlement of the related party note partially offset by additional sub-lease rental income.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other expenses, net consisted of $64,002 interest expense, accretion associated with acquisition related contingent consideration of $124,213 which is included in interest expense, and $7,187 of other income.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 other expenses, net consisted of $110,523 in interest expense, and a loss of $57,502 on debt extinguishment offset by $86,588 in other income.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are computed based on the tax liability or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary differences in the recognition of income or deduction of expenses between financial and tax reporting purposes, increased by net operating loss carryforwards of which expire through 2034.  Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $1,897,000, at June 30, 2015.   The net difference, if any, between the provision for taxes and taxes currently payable is reflected in the balance sheet as deferred taxes.  Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities, if any, are classified as current and non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or based on the expected reversal date for deferred taxes that are not related to an asset or liability.  Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to that amount which is more likely than not to be realized.  We have recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2015.
  
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.  Our income tax returns are open to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, generally for the years ended December 31, 2011 and later, with certain state jurisdictions open for audit for earlier years.  We had no amount recorded for any unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2015, nor did the Company record any amount for the implementation of ASC 740.  Our policy is to record estimated interest and penalty related to the underpayment of income taxes or unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its income tax provision.  We did not recognize any interest or penalties in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and there are no accruals for interest or penalties for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  We are not currently under examination by any tax jurisdiction.

Net Income (Loss)

For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $2,142,082 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, or $(0.04) per share (basic and diluted), as compared to net income of $699,418 for the year ended June 30, 2014, or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted).

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had a cash balance of $880,334.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had a cash balance of $4,888,797.
 
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired two businesses, Storycode and SwellPath, which acquisitions required cash payments, expanded its office space in New York, which required an additional security deposit, and increased its spending to position the Company for future growth.  These costs were predominately funded by capital raised in private placement transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.  We anticipate financing our future day-to-day operations and capital expenditures with cash flows from operations, and by utilizing the remaining proceeds from such private placements.  We expect these sources of income to be sufficient to cover cash needs for working capital and general corporate purposes, including current liabilities, payment of contractual obligations, principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, and capital expenditures.  We also expect to continue to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company including costs to comply with rules and regulations applicative to companies listed on a national securities exchange and costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  In addition, as a public company, we expect to incur increased expenses related to additional insurance, investor relations and other increases related to needs for additional human resources and professional services.

Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities
 
Cash used in operating activities consists of net (loss) income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, realized gains on sale of marketable securities, loss on debt extinguishment, deferred tax benefit, deferred rent and interest earned on restricted cash, as well as the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,988,214 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $258,153 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The change is principally attributable to net loss of $2,142,082 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to a net income of $699,418 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $694,684 in restricted cash (see Note 9 - Letter of Credit and Restricted Cash), $743,999 in accounts receivable due to the increase in sales and the timing of client payments, which are monitored by us on a regular basis, an increase in unbilled revenue of $480,413, an increase in the contingent consideration liability of $124,213, an increase in deferred tax benefits of $459,511 due to the recording of a tax asset, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $58,462 all offset by an increase of $649,051 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase in stock based compensation of $421,647, and increase in deferred rent of $93,066, and increase in deferred revenues of $75,449, and an increase in depreciation and amortization to $210,956 due to the purchase of computer equipment, office expansion, and amortization related to acquired intangible assets during the first six months ended June 30, 2015.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities primarily consists of the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash used in investing activities increased to $866,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $46,433 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, is primarily attributable to consideration paid for our acquisitions of $542,399, internally developed software costs of $83,785 and the purchase of property and equipment of $240,743.

We expect to make investments in our personnel, systems, corporate facilities, and information technology infrastructure in 2015 and thereafter.  However, the amount of our capital expenditures has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

In addition, we expect to spend cash on acquisitions and other investments from time to time.  We anticipate that these acquisitions will accelerate revenue growth, provide cost synergies, and generally enhance the breadth and depth of our expertise and service offerings, but no assurances can be made that we will recognize any such benefits.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities consists primarily of net proceeds from borrowings on lines of credit, proceeds from and repayments of our factor agreement, proceeds from private placements of equity, the issuance and repayment of promissory notes, and capital leases.

Cash used in financing activities was $153,322 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to cash used in financing activities of $188,344 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The change is principally attributable to a $36,504 payment for capital leases, the payment of $4,171,210 on our factor agreement and a payment of $3,300 on notes payable offset by a receipt of $4,057,692 from our factor agreement.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid $5,649,084 and received $5,582,429 on our factor agreement, paid $258,300 on notes payable, distributed $45,807 to our stockholders, received $20,000 from the issuance of our notes and paid $28,582 for capital leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts.  Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.  We do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115.” This ASU amends the current Accounting Standards Codification to coincide with language provided by in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 115. The amendments in this update are effective upon issuance and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is permitted but not before the original effective date (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). When effective, ASU 2014-09 will use either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).   This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods.   In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  They have concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The post-acquisition integration of Storycode and SwellPath and the related activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 represents a material change in our internal control over financial reporting.  We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the acquisition on our internal control over financial reporting as well as the necessary controls and procedures to be implemented.
 
Other than as discussed above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
