EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (this “Form 10-Q/A”) amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, as originally filed by Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2018 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to restate our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and to make related revisions to certain other disclosures in the Original Filing. The errors primarily relate to the overstatement of subscription revenues in the third quarter of 2018 due to (1) the erroneous recognition of approximately $0.7 million of revenue from MoviePass, Inc. (“MoviePass”) subscriptions that had been terminated through refunds of subscriptions by Costco Wholesale Corporation; and (2) the erroneous recognition of approximately $5.9 million of revenue from certain MoviePass subscriptions that were in a suspended state due to changes made to the MoviePass subscription service that had not yet been consented to by the applicable subscribers. In addition, the Company identified a non-cash error related to the accounting for derivative liabilities, which resulted in an additional understatement of net loss of approximately $2.9 million. The Company also identified the erroneous omission of a $1.6 million investment in the film Axis Sally, offset by a $1.6 million note payable, as well as the related party disclosures associated with the production of the film Axis Sally as disclosed in Note 17. Proceeds from the MoviePass Films notes are now reportedly separately from other debt activity on the cash flow statement. Further explanation regarding the restatement is set forth in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A.

 

The following sections in the Original Filing are revised in this Form 10-Q/A to reflect the restatement:

 

Part I - Item 1 – Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Part 1 - Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Part I - Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

  Part II - Item 6 – Exhibits – Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have also provided new certifications as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications are included in this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

 

This Form 10-Q/A also amends Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings to reflect updated legal matters. For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the information in the Original Filing in its entirety, as such information is modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement and related revisions. Except as provided above, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing and does not amend or otherwise update any information in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date on which we filed the Original Filing with the SEC (i.e., November 15, 2018).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. General

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (“Helios and Matheson”, “HMNY” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

 

2. Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company determined that its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2018, should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the financial statements that was identified by management.

 

The effects of these restatement adjustments on (i) the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018, (ii) the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, (iii) the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity/(Deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and (iv) the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are presented below.

 

The restatement adjustments are described below: 

 

MoviePass Deferred Revenue

 

The Company identified that it erroneously recognized an additional $6,637,226 of subscription revenue, with the offsetting impact of this adjustment to deferred revenue.

 

MoviePass Subscription Refunds

 

There was erroneous recognition of approximately $700,000 of revenue from subscriptions that had been terminated through refunds of subscriptions by Costco Wholesale Corporation.

 

MoviePass Subscriptions that were in Suspended Status

 

There was erroneous recognition of $5,937,226 of revenue from certain MoviePass subscriptions that were in a suspended state due to changes made to the MoviePass subscription service that had not yet been consented to by the applicable subscribers.

 

Adjust Accounting for Derivative Liability

 

The Company identified a non-cash error related to the accounting for derivative liabilities, which resulted in an understatement of net loss of $2,826,810. The reversal of the derivative liability in the amount of $2,826,810 resulting from a conversion in the second quarter was misclassified as a gain in the fair market value of a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, as opposed to correctly recording it as a credit to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Record Additional Investment in Films

 

The Company identified the erroneous omission of a $1.6 million investment in the film Axis Sally , offset by a $1.6 million note payable. as well as the related party disclosures associated with the production of the film Axis Sally as disclosed in Note 17. Proceeds from the MoviePass Films notes are now shown separate from other debt activity on the cash flow statement.

3. Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Business

 

Since 1983, the Company has provided high quality information technology, or IT, services and solutions including a range of technology platforms focusing on big data, business intelligence, and consumer-centric technology. More recently, to provide greater value to stockholders, the Company has sought to expand its business primarily through acquisitions that leverage its capabilities and expertise.

 

On November 9, 2016, the Company acquired Zone Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Zone”), a state-of-the-art mapping and spatial analysis company. On December 11, 2017, the Company acquired a majority interest in MoviePass Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MoviePass”), whose primary product offering is MoviePass™, the nation’s premier movie theater subscription service. MoviePass allows its subscribers to see up to three movies a month, from a schedule of select movies, in theaters nationwide, for a low fixed price and additional movies at a discounted price.

 

In January 2018, the Company formed the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MoviePass Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MoviePass Ventures”), which aims to collaborate with film distributors to share in film revenues while using the data analytics that MoviePass offers for marketing and targeting services reaching MoviePass’ paying subscribers using the platform.

 

In April 2018, the Company acquired the Moviefone brand and related assets (“Moviefone”). Moviefone is an entertainment information and marketing service which provides its users with access to the entire entertainment ecosystem. Moviefone delivers movie show times and tickets, trailers, TV schedules, streaming information, cast and crew interviews, photo galleries and more. Moviefone’s editorial coverage includes up-to-date entertainment news, trailers and clips, red-carpet coverage and celebrity features.

 

On May 15, 2018, the Company formed MoviePass Films LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MoviePass Films”), to focus on studio-driven content and new film production for theatrical release and other distribution channels. On May 23, 2018, the Company executed a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Emmett Furla Oasis Films LLC (“EFO”) pursuant to which EFO acquired a 49% membership interest in MoviePass Films.

 

On July 16, 2018, the Company formed 10 Minutes Gone, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“10 Minutes Gone”), for the purpose of engaging in the production and distribution of the film 10 Minutes Gone .

 

On July 16, 2018, 100% of the membership interests in Georgia Film Fund 79, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, formed on January 16, 2018 by EFO, for the purpose of engaging in motion picture production was transferred to 10 Minutes Gone.

 

On August 31, 2018, the Company formed Axis Sally, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Axis Sally”), for the purpose of engaging in the production and distribution of the film Axis Sally .

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting equity interests and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. The Company consolidated the operations of MoviePass as of December 11, 2017, Moviefone as of April 4, 2018, MoviePass Ventures as of January 2018, MoviePass Films as of May 15, 2018, 10 Minutes Gone, LLC, as of July 16, 2018, and Axis Sally, LLC, as of August 31, 2018.

 

Reverse Stock-Split

 

On July 24, 2018, the Company effected a reverse stock-split of its issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of one-for-250 (“Reverse Stock Split”). The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock, which, following the increase in authorized shares effected on July 23, 2018 discussed in Note 12, remains at 5,000,000,000 shares. A proportionate adjustment was made to (i) the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and outstanding convertible notes and (ii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase accounting allocations, recoverability and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangibles and goodwill, warrant liabilities, derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance of deferred taxes, contingencies and equity compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”)

 

The Company adopted the new revenue standard, ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts as of January 1, 2018. This method required retrospective application of the new accounting standard to all unfulfilled contracts that were outstanding as of January 1, 2018. Revenues and contract assets and liabilities for contracts completed prior to January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 605.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company generates revenue, including from consulting customers and subscribers.

 

Consulting Revenue

 

Consulting revenues are recognized as services are provided. The Company primarily provides consulting services under time and material contracts, whereby revenue is recognized as hours and costs are incurred. Clients for consulting revenues are billed on a weekly or monthly basis. Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. Any anticipated contract losses are estimated and accrued at the time they become known and estimable. Unbilled accounts receivables represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings. Revenue from sales of software licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software to a customer because future obligations associated with such revenue are insignificant.

 

Subscription Revenue

 

Subscription revenue consists primarily of subscription fees for monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual subscriptions. Revenue from subscriptions is recognized on a straight-line basis when the performance obligations to provide each service for the period are satisfied, which is over time as subscription services can be used by subscribers at any time. Consumers purchasing subscriptions generally pay on an annual or monthly basis, and any prepaid amounts for subscription services are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to revenue evenly over the service period which begins once a subscriber has activated his or her subscription.

 

Marketing, Promotional Services, and Films

 

The Company also generates revenue from marketing services primarily related to major motion picture releases. Marketing revenue is generated through e-mail and digital advertising to the Company’s subscriber base and pursuant to a contract for such services with the movie distributor. Such agreements are short-term and are generally represented by a fully executed customer agreement. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied which generally occurs within a month of the date the contract begins. Payment terms on marketing agreements vary and payment is generally due once the performance obligations have been satisfied. Revenue from our participation in the theatrical release of feature films is recognized as earned based on our share of the ultimate expected revenue.

  

Deferred Revenue

 

Subscription fees are generally paid in advance by credit card through merchant processors. Subscription fees received in advance of completion of the performance obligations are recorded as deferred revenue until such time the services are provided to the customer.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment, typically during the fourth quarter of each year, and periodically analyzes whether any indicators of impairment have occurred. The Company performs reviews of each of its reporting units that have goodwill balances. During the third quarter of 2018, due to a significant decline in its MoviePass subscribers resulting primarily from substantial changes made to our service offerings during the third quarter, the Company deemed it more appropriate to assess impairment of goodwill and corresponding intangible assets of the MoviePass reporting unit as of September 30, 2018. In conjunction with the events occurring in the third quarter of 2018, the Company updated its long-term business plan, which was used as the basis for estimating the future cash flows of its reporting units. That plan considered then current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results, the Company’s views of growth rates and then-anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company determined that the fair value of the MoviePass reporting unit was below its carrying value. Therefore, the Company conducted step two of the impairment test for the MoviePass reporting unit and determined the carrying value of goodwill in the MoviePass reporting unit exceeded its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $38,524,016. This was as a result of reduced financial projections for the MoviePass reporting unit, due to, among other things, lower than expected actual financial results from this business due to a lower number of subscribers resulting from changes in the MoviePass service offering, which resulted in diminished financial performance relative to its original expectations. Given the foregoing, the Company determined there was greater uncertainty in achieving its prior financial projections and so applied a higher discount rate for purposes of its goodwill impairment analysis. Additionally, modifications of certain cashflow assumptions to reflect the current economic conditions as well as market participant levels were made. These assumptions along with a higher discount rate negatively affected the fair value of the MoviePass reporting unit.

 

Generally, fair value is determined using a multiple of earnings, or discounted projected future cash flows, and is compared to the carrying value of a reporting unit for purposes of identifying potential impairment. Projected future cash flows are based on management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. Goodwill impairment is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the its estimated fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

 

The identification of relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgments by management. These judgments include the consideration of the general economic outlook, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, events which are specific to the Company, and trends in the market price of the Company’s common stock. Each factor is assessed to determine whether it impacts the impairment test as well as the magnitude of any such impact.

 

Intangible Assets, net

 

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, technology, trademarks, broker relationships and patents. Applicable long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated on the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from three to twelve years.

 

The Company recorded amortization expense of $1,363,638 and $430,716 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $3,977,211 and $1,284,018 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

The Company monitors the carrying value of long-lived assets for potential impairment each quarter based on whether certain triggering events have occurred. These events include current period losses or a projection of continuing losses or a significant decrease in the market value of an asset. When a triggering event occurs, an impairment calculation is performed, comparing projected undiscounted future cash flows, utilizing current cash flow information and expected growth rates, to the respective carrying value. If the Company identifies impairment for long-lived assets to be held and used because the carrying value is greater than the projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company compares the assets’ current carrying value to the assets’ fair value. Fair value is based on current market values or discounted future cash flows. The Company records impairment when the carrying value exceeds the assets’ fair value. With respect to owned property and equipment held for disposal, the value of the property and equipment is adjusted to reflect recoverable values based on previous efforts to dispose of similar assets and current economic conditions. Impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair market value, reduced by estimated direct costs of disposal.

 

The Company evaluated the MoviePass intangible assets in connection with the MoviePass impairment analysis and did not record any impairment charges in regard to definite-lived intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions in ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and the provisions of ASC Topic 505, Equity (“ASC 505”) for stock-based transactions with non-employees. Stock based compensation expense for employees is recognized over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The grant date is the date at which an employer and employee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. Stock-based compensation for non-employee stock options is recorded over the vesting period and remeasured at fair value until they vest.

 

Investment in Films

 

The Company capitalizes film production costs, including direct costs and production overhead, net of production incentives, for films in production and the cost of acquiring copyright interests in or participation rights to completed but not released films. The Company amortizes film production costs, including the costs to acquire interests or participation rights to direct operating expenses, using the individual film forecast computation method, which amortizes the costs for an individual film in the proportion that the current year’s revenues bear to management’s estimates of the ultimate revenue expected to be recognized from the distribution, exhibition or sale of such film. Ultimate revenue includes estimates over a period not to exceed ten years following the date of initial release of the motion picture. As of September 30, 2018, unamortized capitalized investment in film costs were $15,002,433. This balance represents total capitalized costs for the period of $18,811,981 less $3,809,548 of costs related to amortization and impairments.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making such estimates of ultimate revenues and expenses, these estimates may differ from actual results and are likely to differ to some extent in the future from actual results. In addition, in the normal course of our business, some films and titles are more successful or less successful than anticipated. Management regularly reviews and revises when necessary its ultimate revenue and cost estimates, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization of film costs and/or write-down of all or a portion of the unamortized costs of the film to its estimated fair value. Management estimates the ultimate revenue based on experience with similar titles or title genre, the general public appeal of the cast, actual performance (when available) at the box office or in markets currently being exploited, and other factors such as the quality and acceptance of motion pictures or programs that our competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, critical reviews, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and which may change.

 

An increase in the estimate of ultimate revenue will generally result in a lower amortization rate and, therefore, less film amortization expense, while a decrease in the estimate of ultimate revenue will generally result in a higher amortization rate and, therefore, higher film amortization expense, and could also periodically result in an impairment requiring a write-down of the film cost to the title’s fair value. These write-downs are included in amortization expense within cost of revenues in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Investment in films is stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. Additional amortization is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair value of the film. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainty and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of investment in films may be required as a consequence of changes in our future revenue estimates.

Film Production Incentives

 

The Company has access to various governmental programs that are designed to promote film production within the United States. Tax credits earned with respect to expenditures on qualifying film production activities, including qualifying capital projects, are included as an offset to the related asset or as an offset to production expenses when we have reasonable assurance regarding the realizable amount of the tax credits.

 

The unamortized balance includes $2,376,451 representing our investment in participation rights in completed and released films and $12,625,982 in film costs for completed and partially completed films that have yet to be released.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures , defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market 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 that are supported by little or no market activity; therefore, the inputs are developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions that the Company expects a market participant would use, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

The liabilities in connection with the conversion and make-whole features included within certain of the Company’s convertible notes payable and warrants are each classified as a level 3 liability.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates its convertible notes and warrants to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Paragraph 815-10-05-4 of the FASB ASC and Paragraph 815-40-25 of the Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

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

HELIOS AND MATHESON ANALYTICS INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current to correspond with its host instrument.

 

The Company marks to market the fair value of the embedded derivatives at each balance sheet date and records the change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives as other income or expense in the statements of operations.

 

The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo Method that values the liability of the debt conversion feature derivative financial instruments and derivative warrants based on a probability of a down round event. The reason the Company selected the lattice binomial model is that in many cases there may be multiple embedded features, or the features of the bifurcated derivatives may be so complex that a Black-Scholes valuation does not consider all the terms of the instrument. Therefore, the fair value may not be appropriately captured by simple models.

 

Warrant Liability

 

The Company evaluates its warrants to determine if those contracts qualify as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480-10 and ASC 815-40. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the warrant liability is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability, with the change in fair value recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a warrant liability, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

For warrants with a fixed conversion price and a fixed number of shares, the Company utilizes a Black Scholes model for valuation. For warrants with variability in the number of shares or conversion price (such as a down round feature), the Company utilizes the Monte Carlo Method to value the warrant liability. The reason the Company selected the lattice binomial model is that in many cases there may be multiple embedded features, or the features may be so complex that a Black-Scholes valuation does not consider all the terms of the instrument. Therefore, the fair value may not be appropriately captured by simple models.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following accounting standards updates were recently issued and have not yet been adopted. These standards are currently under review to determine their impact on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes FASB ASC 840, Leases and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10,  Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases) , and ASU 2018-11,  Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements , which provide (i) narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, (ii) entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new standard, and (ii) lessors with a practical expedient for separating components of a contract. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We expect to adopt the guidance using the modified retrospective method and practical expedients for transition. The practical expedients allow us to largely account for our existing leases consistent with current guidance except for the incremental balance sheet recognition for lessees. We have started an initial evaluation of our leasing contracts and activities. We do not expect a material change to the timing of expense recognition, but we are early in the implementation process and will continue to evaluate the impact. We are evaluating our existing disclosures and may need to provide additional information as a result of adoption of the ASU.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and an entity should apply the amendments of ASU 2017-04 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASU 2017-11 is intended to simplify the accounting for financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Among the issues addressed are: (i) determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock; (ii) distinguishing liabilities from equity for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities; and (iii) identifying mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. ASU 2017-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2017-11 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) , Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). The amendments in ASU 2018-07 expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2018-07 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and determined it will not have a material impact.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) , Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

 

5. Going Concern Analysis

 

In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the Company’s interim financial statements were issued (November 15, 2018). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due before March 19, 2020.

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other big data technology, technology consulting companies and subscription based businesses, including its dependence on outside sources of capital, the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its subscriber base, uncertainty of generation of revenues and positive cash flow, dependence on key individuals, risks associated with research, development, testing, and successful protection of intellectual property, and the Company’s susceptibility to infringement on the proprietary rights of others. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the Company’s growth and operating activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $386,186,649, a loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $93,052,113 and $327,422,965, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $322,692,755.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and a working capital deficit of $4,851,972 and $23,893,516, respectively, compared to $24,949,393 and $107,097,249 as of December 31, 2017. Of the working capital deficit at September 30, 2018, $60,809 pertained to warrant and derivative liabilities classified on the balance sheet within current liabilities. Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. While management will look to continue funding operations by raising additional capital from sources such as sales of the Company’s debt or equity securities or loans in order to meet operating cash requirements, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful.

 

The Company obtained convertible debt financing for up to $60,000,000 in gross proceeds on January 11, 2018, of which the Company had received $31,000,000 in gross proceeds as of September 30, 2018, which the Company used (i) to increase the Company’s ownership interests or other rights and interests in MoviePass; (ii) to satisfy certain indebtedness; and (iii) for general corporate purposes and transaction expenses. The Company may also use the proceeds to make other acquisitions. Additionally, during the second and third quarter of 2018, the Company received $58,959,736 in gross proceeds related to the convertible debt financing obtained on November 7, 2017.

 

On June 26, 2018, the Company obtained preferred stock and convertible debt financing for up to $139,400,000 in gross proceeds, of which the Company had received $20,500,000 in gross proceeds as of September 30, 2018, which the Company used for general corporate purposes and transaction expenses.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no outstanding unrestricted principal under the Senior Convertible Notes issued to institutional investors on November 7, 2017 and January 23, 2018, respectively, and there remained $49,388,861 in restricted principal for which a corresponding amount of principal under the investor notes remains to be paid to the Company by the holders of those convertible notes.

In order to facilitate the Company’s further access to capital, in January 2018 the Company filed a shelf registration statement on form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2018, which allows the Company to offer and sell up to $400,000,000 of its equity or equity-linked securities. Using the shelf registration statement, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of $105,050,000 on February 13, 2018. The total net proceeds to the Company from the February 2018 public offering were $96,912,380. The Company also completed an underwritten public offering of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $30,250,000 on April 23, 2018. The total net proceeds to the Company from the April 2018 public offering were $27,677,558.

 

On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”) under which the Company could offer and sell under the shelf registration statement up to $150,000,000 of its common stock at prevailing market prices in a continuous at-the market offering (the “ATM Offering”) through its sales agent Canaccord. The Company used the net proceeds from the ATM Offering to increase the Company’s ownership stake in MoviePass and to support the operations of MoviePass and MoviePass Ventures, to satisfy a portion or all of any amounts due and payable in connection with the convertible notes issued on November 7, 2017, January 23, 2018 and June 26, 2018, and for general corporate purposes and transaction expenses. As of September 30, 2018, the Company sold approximately 627,933,083 shares, and received net proceeds of approximately $119,423,879, pursuant to the ATM Offering. The Sales Agreement was terminated on October 1, 2018, and, as a result, no further offers or sales of the Company’s common stock will be made pursuant to the ATM Offering.

 

Without raising additional capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through March 19, 2020. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. 

 

Notice of Potential Delisting from NASDAQ 

 

On June 21, 2018, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has closed below a minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)” or the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until December 18, 2018 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On December 21, 2018, the Company received a written notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company failed to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). As a result, Nasdaq determined that unless the Company timely requested an appeal of such determination before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s common stock would be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and would be suspended at the opening of business on December 28, 2018. The Company timely appealed the delisting notice and appeared in front of the Panel on January 31, 2019. The Panel issued a decision on February 11, 2019 and determined to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was effective at the open of business on February 13, 2019. The Panel has also informed the Company that Nasdaq will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC, after the applicable appeals periods have lapsed.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council may, on its own motion, determine to review any Panel decision within 45 calendar days after the issuance of such decision. However, an appeal or review of the Panel’s decision would not stay the suspension of trading in the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The Company’s shares are eligible to trade “over-the-counter” in the OTC Markets system effective as of the open of business on February 13, 2019, under the current symbol “HMNY.”

 

On August 25, 2018, Carl J. Schramm resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company and each committee of the Board of Directors which he was a member, including the Audit Committee. As a result, the Company was no longer compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires that a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company be independent, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee have at least three independent directors.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, on August 27, 2018, the Company notified Nasdaq of Mr. Schramm’s resignation and non-compliance with the above Nasdaq Listing Rules. Nasdaq responded on September 6, 2018 with a notification letter confirming the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth above.

 

On December 31, 2018, Joseph J. Fried was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors effective December 27, 2018. Following such appointment and the appointment of Mr. Fried to the Audit Committee by the Company’s Board of Directors, a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors is again composed of independent directors and the Audit Committee has at least three independent directors. As a result, Nasdaq notified the Company in a letter dated January 8, 2019 that the Staff has determined that the Company is now in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), and that the matters described in the letter sent by Nasdaq on September 6, 2018 are now closed.

On December 11, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of a 62.41% majority interest in MoviePass (such acquisition, the “MoviePass Transaction”), for the following consideration: (1) a subordinated convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $12,000,000 (the “Helios Convertible Note”), which is convertible into shares of HMNY’s common stock, as further described below; (2) a $5,000,000 promissory note issued to MoviePass (the “Helios Note”); (3) the exchange of a convertible promissory note issued by MoviePass to HMNY in an aggregate principal amount of $11,500,000 (plus accrued interest thereon); (4) $1,000,000 in cash to purchase outstanding convertible notes of MoviePass, which were converted into shares of MoviePass’ common stock amounting to an additional 2% of the outstanding shares of MoviePass common stock; and (5) $20,000,000 in cash pursuant to the Investment Option Agreement, dated October 11, 2017, between the Company and MoviePass.

 

The Helios Convertible Note will convert into 16,000 (4,000,000 pre-split) unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) automatically upon the Company’s receipt of approval of its stockholders relating to the issuance of the Conversion Shares as required by and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Of that amount, 2,667 (666,667 pre-split) of the Conversion Shares are subject to forfeiture by MoviePass, in the Company’s sole discretion, as MoviePass failed to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market by March 31, 2018 (as required by the securities purchase agreement between the Company and MoviePass). As of the date of this report, the Company has not made a decision with respect to the disposition of those shares that are subject to forfeiture.

The Company has valued the Helios Convertible Note as of the acquisition date, including the valuation of the shares subject to forfeiture as noted above, at the fair value on the acquisition date based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The shares subject to forfeiture are contingent consideration and have been valued as a separate component of the Helios Convertible Note. As of the acquisition date the Helios Convertible Note was valued at $29,000,000 and the portion of the Conversion Shares subject to forfeiture was valued at $5,152,446. All the purchase consideration, with the exception of the $1,000,000 paid for the MoviePass convertible notes which were converted into MoviePass common stock, was retained by MoviePass. Accordingly, the value of the Helios Convertible Note, the Helios Note and the value associated with the Conversion Shares subject to forfeiture are eliminated in consolidation for financial reporting purposes.

 

Goodwill recognized as part of the MoviePass Transaction is not expected to be tax deductible.

 

The Company has made a provisional allocation of the purchase price of the MoviePass Transaction to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocations relating to the MoviePass Transaction:

 

  MoviePass  
Purchase consideration:      
Cash   $ 32,671,792  
Notes payable (includes Helios Convertible Note and Helios Note)     39,152,446  
Fair value of consideration transferred   $ 71,824,238  
         
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired:        
Cash acquired   $ 1,106,171  
Accounts receivable     9,669,390  
Notes receivable     39,152,446  
Investment option payment receivable     7,850,000  
Prepaid expenses and other current assets     192,180  
Property and equipment     39,320  
Other assets     8,000  
Identifiable intangible assets:        
Tradenames and trademarks     19,550,000  
Technology     3,800,000  
Customer relationships     2,560,000  
Liabilities assumed     (9,261,785 )
Deferred revenue     (38,718,397 )
Non-controlling interest     (43,260,264 )
Goodwill     79,137,177  
Total purchase price allocation   $ 71,824,238  

 

The Company has not completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the acquisition fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related allocation of the purchase price for the MoviePass Transaction. Accordingly, the type and value of the intangible assets and deferred revenue amounts set forth above are preliminary. Once the valuation process is finalized for the MoviePass Transaction, there could be changes to the reported values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including goodwill, intangible assets and deferred revenue and those changes could differ materially from what is presented above.

The Company determined the provisional fair value of the acquired intangible assets through a combination of the market approach and the income approach. The significant assumptions used in certain valuations associated with the MoviePass Transaction include discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 51.0%. In determining the value of tradenames and trademarks the Company observed royalty rates ranging from 0.0% to 100.0% and utilized a 1.0% rate for MoviePass’s aggregated tradenames and trademarks. Additionally, the Company observed royalty rates related to MoviePass’s technology assets acquired ranging from 0.0% to 50.0% and used a 1.0% royalty rate in determining the fair value of the acquired technology. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) guidance, the fair value of an acquired liability related to deferred revenue would include the direct and incremental cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a normal profit margin. The Company utilized historical operating results in estimating the direct and incremental costs of fulfilling the acquired deferred revenue obligations. The non-controlling interest in MoviePass was determined based on the fair value of MoviePass less the amounts paid by the Company for its 62.41% controlling interest.

 

The estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets are 7 years for customer relationships, 3 years for technology, and 7 years for tradenames and trademarks. Acquired deferred revenue is estimated to be realized based on the length of the subscription, over 12 months from the acquisition date.

 

Additional MoviePass Subscription Agreements

 

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with MoviePass (the “March 2018 Agreement”), pursuant to which, in lieu of repayment of advances totaling $55,525,000 made by the Company, MoviePass agreed to sell to the Company an amount of MoviePass common stock equal to 18.79% of the total then outstanding shares of MoviePass common stock (excluding shares underlying MoviePass options and warrants) (the “March 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares”). MoviePass also agreed to issue to the Company, in addition to the March 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares, without payment of additional consideration by the Company, for purposes of anti-dilution, an amount of shares of MoviePass common stock that caused the Company’s total ownership of the outstanding shares of MoviePass common stock (excluding shares underlying MoviePass options and warrants), together with the March 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares, to equal 81.2% as of March 8, 2018.

 

From February 27, 2018 through April 12, 2018, the Company advanced a total of $35,000,000 to MoviePass (the “Second Advance”). On April 16, 2018, the Company entered into an additional Subscription Agreement with MoviePass (the “April 2018 Agreement”), pursuant to which, in lieu of repayment of the Second Advance, MoviePass agreed to sell to the Company an amount of shares of common stock of MoviePass equal to 10.6% of the total then outstanding MoviePass common stock (excluding shares underlying MoviePass options and warrants) (the “April 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares”), based on a pre-money valuation of MoviePass of $295,525,000 as of March 31, 2018. Pursuant to the April 2018 Agreement, MoviePass also agreed to issue to the Company, in addition to the April 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares, without payment of additional consideration by the Company, for purposes of anti-dilution, an amount of shares of common stock of MoviePass that caused the Company’s total ownership of the outstanding shares of common stock of MoviePass (excluding shares underlying MoviePass options and warrants), together with the April 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares, to equal 91.8% as of April 12, 2018.

 

In addition, from April 16, 2018 through September 30, 2018 the Company has advanced MoviePass, $187,285,000 for operational funding. Such amount remains payable to the Company by MoviePass and has been eliminated in consolidation for financial reporting purposes. 

 

The Company has accounted for the March 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares and the April 2018 MoviePass Purchased Shares as an acquisition of a portion of the non-controlling interest in MoviePass. Accordingly, the non-controlling interest at March 8, 2018 and April 12, 2018 was reduced respectively, based on the percentage acquired, and the balance invested in excess of the value of the non-controlling interest acquired was recorded as additional invested capital.

Acquisition of Moviefone Brand

 

On April 4, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Moviefone Purchase Agreement”) with Oath Inc. (formerly, AOL Inc.), a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Verizon Communications and certain of its subsidiaries (“Oath”), pursuant to which the Company completed the acquisition from Oath of certain products, rights, technology, contracts, data and other assets related to the Moviefone brand (the “Moviefone Assets”). The acquisition of Moviefone has been accounted for as the acquisition of a business. The historical operational results of Moviefone were not significant for purposes of providing pro forma financial information. The purchase price for the Moviefone Assets consisted of the following: (i) $1.0 million in cash, (ii) the issuance of 10,201 (2,550,154 pre-split) shares of common stock of the Company with a market value of $7.6 million as of the closing date, and (iii) the issuance of warrants to purchase 10,201 (2,550,154 pre-split) shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1,375 ($5.50 pre-split) per share. In addition, and pursuant to the Moviefone Purchase Agreement, the Company assumed certain specified liabilities incurred after the acquisition date and retained certain employees of Moviefone.

 

The Company determined the provisional fair value of the acquired intangible assets through a combination of the market approach, cost and the income approach. The significant assumptions used in certain valuations associated with the Moviefone transaction include discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 22.1%. In determining the value of tradenames and trademarks the Company observed royalty rates ranging from 0.0% to 100.0% and utilized a 10.0% rate for Moviefone’s aggregated tradenames and trademarks. Additionally, the Company utilized a cost approach for Moviefone’s technology assets acquired based on man hours to construct in determining the fair value of the acquired technology. The non-compete agreements were analyzed and found to have a de minimis value.

 

The estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets are 20 years for tradenames and trademarks, 7 years for customer relationships and 3 years for technology. 

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Moviefone by the Company, and the amounts of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed and recognized at the acquisition date:

 

  Moviefone  
Purchase consideration:      
Cash   $ 1,000,000  
Common shares issued     7,599,459  
Warrants for common shares issued     5,475,500  
Fair value of consideration transferred   $ 14,074,959

MoviePass Films

 

On May 23, 2018, the Company entered into the LOI with EFO, pursuant to which EFO acquired a 49% membership interest in MoviePass Films. Pursuant to the LOI, the Company capitalized MoviePass Films with an initial capital contribution of $2,000,000 in cash and retained a 51% interest in MoviePass Films and capitalized MoviePass Films with an additional $4,200,000 as of September 30, 2018, for a total of $6,200,000 capitalized by the Company as of September 30, 2018. EFO has assigned its rights in a film output agreement of EFO to MoviePass Films. MoviePass Films has begun operations, and the Company and EFO are finalizing the long form agreements that will further define the relative rights and duties of the Company and EFO with respect to MoviePass Films. In accordance with the LOI, as of September 30, 2018, the Company is committed to contribute 16,000 (4,000,000 pre-split) shares of common stock of the Company to EFO.

 

The Company is currently performing the work required to determine the value of the film output agreement assigned to MoviePass Films by EFO.

  

The Company has a 51% membership interest in MoviePass Films and the right to designate three out of five of the members of its board of managers and accordingly has consolidated the results of MoviePass Films with those of the Company.

7. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangements, stock options or warrants.

 

The following table shows the outstanding dilutive common shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholder’s calculation as they were anti-dilutive:

 

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2018     2017  
Warrants     67,468       38,526  
Conversion features on convertible notes     -       5,482

Goodwill represents the difference between purchase cost and the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of December 31st and more often if a triggering event occurs, by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. During the third quarter of 2018, due to a significant decline in its MoviePass subscribers resulting primarily from changes made to service offerings during the third quarter, the Company deemed it appropriate to assess goodwill impairment of the MoviePass reporting unit as of September 30, 2018. Due to the complexity and the effort required to estimate the fair value of the reporting units in step one of the impairment test and to estimate the fair value of all assets and liabilities of the reporting units in the second step of the test, the fair value estimates were derived based on preliminary assumptions and analyses that are subject to change. Based on our preliminary analyses, the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially lower than the carrying value of goodwill for the reporting units of the Subscription and Marketing, Promotional Services, and Films segment. As a result, we recorded our best estimate of $38,524,016 for the goodwill impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2018, which is included in impairment of goodwill on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). Any adjustments to the estimated impairment loss following the completion of the measurement of the impairment will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

The Company used a discounted cash flow model, to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.  Key assumptions within the analysis included revenue projections, revenue growth assumptions, adjustments for the latest subscriber information, revisions to the current costs of the subscription program including limitations on visits per month and first run movies, revenue growth assumptions, expectations for working capital and capital expenditure needs discount rates, and the effective tax rate that the Company determined to be appropriate. Revenue projections reflected declines in the current and next year, and revenues are expected to moderate to a terminal growth rate of 3%. The discount rate was 49.4% and the effective tax rate was 28%.

 

Balance as of December 31, 2017   $ 79,137,177  
Acquisition of Moviefone     8,534,959  
Impairment of a portion of MoviePass     (38,524,016 )

11. Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants and Unit Offerings

 

February 2017 Notes

 

On February 8, 2017, the Company issued two Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “February 2017 Notes”) to an institutional investor (the “Investor”) in the aggregate principal amount of $5,681,818 for consideration consisting of a secured promissory note payable by the Investor to the Company in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “February 2017 Investor Note”), which offsets the February 2017 Notes of the same amount. Upon issuance, the initial principal balance of $681,818 of the February 2017 Notes was accounted for as an original issuance discount and accreted into interest expense over the life of the February 2017 Notes. As cash is received from the February 2017 Investor Note, and the related principal amount of the February 2017 Notes increases accordingly, a derivative liability related to the conversion feature embedded within the February 2017 Notes is recorded as a debt discount, and accreted into interest expense over the life of the February 2017 Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount of cash received is expensed immediately to interest expense. In addition, February Placement Agent Warrants were also issued (See The Placement Agent Notes and Warrants below), recognized as liabilities pursuant to their terms and recorded as a debt discount, and accreted into interest expense over the life of the February 2017 Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount of cash received is expensed immediately to interest expense. The February 2017 Notes had a maturity date of October 8, 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Investor had fully funded the February 2017 Investor Note and had subsequently converted the aggregate principal amount due under the February 2017 Notes and approximately $49,000 of interest into 7,411 (1,852,886 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock in full payment of the February 2017 Notes. On any principal balance owed by the Company to the Investor, a 6% interest obligation was due quarterly and calculated on a 360-day basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had interest expense of $42,750 and $173,963, respectively. In a letter agreement executed on August 27, 2017, in consideration for the prepayment in the amount of $2,500,000, on the February 2017 Investor Note, which the Investor subsequently made on August 28, 2017, the Investor and the Company agreed that the Investor would have the right, but not the obligation, until December 31, 2017, to effect an exchange (the “Share Exchange”) of 3,365 (841,250 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for one or more senior secured convertible promissory notes in the form of the February Additional Note (the “New Note”), with the right to substitute the alternate conversion price of the New Note with the alternate conversion price of the Company’s Series B Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Series B Note”) that was issued on August 16, 2017. Any New Note issued was in a principal amount equal to the product of the prepayment amount ($2,500,000) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which was the number of the aggregate shares being tendered to the Company in the Share Exchange and the denominator of which was 3,365 (841,250 pre-spilt). The maturity date of any New Note was 45 days following the issuance of the New Note, and the conversion price of the New Notes was $1,125 ($4.50 pre-split), or, at the election of the Investor, the Investor could convert at the Alternate Conversion Price. The Alternate Conversion Price was defined as either (A) the lower of (i) $1,125 ($4.50 pre-split) and (ii) the greater of (I) $1,000 ($4.00 pre-split) and (II) 85% of the quotient of (x) the sum of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for each of the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the Conversion Notice, divided by (y) 5 or (B) that price which shall be the lowest of (i) $750 ($3.00 pre-split) and (ii) the greater of (I) the Floor Price then in effect and (II) 85% of the quotient of (x) the sum of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for each of the 5 consecutive trading days ending and including the date of the alternate conversion, divided by (y) 5. The Floor Price was defined as $750 ($3.00 pre-split) through October 4, 2017 and $125 ($0.50 pre-split) following October 4, 2017. On October 23, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into a Third Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Third Exchange Agreement”) for the purpose of exchanging the New Note for 3,789 (947,218 pre-split) shares of common stock (the “New Exchange Shares”) and rights (the “Rights”) to receive 2,211 (552,782 pre-split) additional shares of common stock. As partial consideration for the New Exchange Shares and the Rights, the Investor agreed, among other things, to terminate the Investor’s right to exchange the remaining Exchange Shares for New Notes. The termination of these rights is accounted for as financing fees associated with the February 2017 Notes, valued at $19,950,000 based on the trading price of the Company’s stock on the date of the Third Exchange Agreement and recorded as interest expense.

August 2017 Notes

 

On August 16, 2017, the Company issued to the Investor three Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “August 2017 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $10,300,000 and a 5-year warrant for the purchase of 7,572 (1,892,972 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $812.50 ($3.25 pre-split) per share (the “Investor Warrant”) for consideration consisting of a secured promissory notes payable by the Investor to the Company (the “August 2017 Investor Notes”) in the principal amount of $8,800,000 and $220,000, which offset the August 2017 Notes of the same amount. The August 2017 Notes had a maturity date of April 16, 2018 and the Investor Warrant had an expiration date of April 16, 2022. The $220,000 secured promissory note payable by the Investor was issued in exchange for a $250,000 Senior Secured Convertible Note; therefore, a discount of $30,000 was recognized upon issuance and accreted into interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method. Upon issuance, the Investor Warrant, which was determined to be a liability, was recorded at fair value and accounted for as an original issuance discount to the August 2017 Notes. The excess in value of the Investor Warrant over the August 2017 Notes upon issuance was recorded as interest expense, while the initial principal balance was recorded as a debt discount and accreted into interest expense over the life of the August 2017 Notes.

 

At December 31, 2017, the contracted conversion prices for the August 2017 Notes, which included an Initial Series A Note, an Additional Series A Note and the Series B Note, were $1,000 ($4.00 pre-split) for the Initial Series A Note and the Additional Series A Note and $750 ($3.00 pre-split) for the Series B Note. As of December 31, 2017, the Investor had fully prepaid the August 2017 Investor Note and converted $5,794,560 in principal amount, plus accrued interest, of the August 2017 Notes into 5,931 (1,482,639 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock. On any principal balance owed by the Company to the Investor, a 6% interest obligation was due quarterly and calculated on a 360-day basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had $0 and $37,126, respectively, of interest expense pertaining to the unpaid principal amount of the August 2017 Notes. The full outstanding principal balance of $4,677,899 and accrued interest of $37,126 were converted to 4,678 (1,169,475 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock on February 20, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the unpaid principal amount of the August 2017 Notes owed to the Investor was $0.

 

The Investor Warrant included anti-dilution provisions. The anti-dilution provisions were triggered when the Company issued a new senior convertible note to the Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $697,000 (the “Exchange Note”) in September 2017. Because the Exchange Note had a conversion price of $750 ($3.00 pre-split) per share, which was lower than the Investor Warrant per share exercise price of $812.50 ($3.25 pre-split), the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable to the Investor pursuant to the Investor Warrant was increased from 7,572 (1,892,972 pre-split) to 8,203 (2,050,720 pre-split) and the per share exercise price of the Investor Warrant was decreased from $812.50 ($3.25 pre-split) to $750 ($3.00 pre-split). As of December 31, 2017, the Investor had elected, in a cashless transaction, to exercise the Investor Warrant to purchase 6,860 (1,715,006 pre-split) shares of common stock and paid the Company the sum of $977,142 to exercise the Investor Warrant for an additional 1,303 (325,714 pre-split) shares of common stock. On November 21, 2017 in conjunction with the Fourth Amendment and Exchange Agreement entered into between the Investor and the Company, the remaining 40 (10,000 pre-split) shares of common stock subject to the Investor Warrant were exchanged for a new warrant (the “Exchange Warrant”). The Exchange Warrant, which was determined to be a liability and was recorded at fair value, was in substantially the form of the Investor Warrant, except that: 

 

  The Exchange Warrant had an exercise price of $3,578 ($14.31 pre-split).

 

  The expiration date of the Exchange Warrant was November 21, 2022.

 

  The Exchange Warrant could not be exercised for the purchase of shares of common stock unless the stockholders of the Company approve the issuance in compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Capital Market, which stockholder approval was obtained at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders in October 2017.

 

  The Exchange Warrant was subject to redemption, refund or alternate cashless exercise after the August 2017 Notes were no longer outstanding (or on or after February 16, 2018 if the Company failed to remain current in its filings or an event of default under the August 2017 Notes occurred).

In March 2018, the Investor exercised the Exchange Warrant by means of a cashless exercise into 17,414 (4,353,581 pre-split) shares of common stock and a cash payment from the Company of $779,219, resulting in a reduction of the warrant liability and corresponding adjustment to Additional Paid in Capital.

 

With the issuance of the Exchange Warrant, the resulting cash flows of the remaining Investor Warrant were considered to be significantly modified within the context of ASC 470. Accordingly, the incremental change in fair value between the Investor Warrant and the Exchange Warrant was calculated as $12,878,864 and recorded as interest expense. 

 

November 2017 Notes

 

On November 7, 2017, the Company issued two Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (collectively, the “November 2017 Notes”) to institutional investors. The November 2017 Notes consist of a Senior Secured Convertible Note in the amount of $5,000,000 (the “November Initial Note”) and a Senior Secured Convertible Note in the amount of $95,000,000 (the “November Additional Note”) in exchange for an upfront cash payment of $5,000,000 and a senior secured promissory note of $95,000,000 (the “November 2017 Investor Note”). As of December 31, 2017, purchasers of the November 2017 Notes prepaid $15,650,000 of the November 2017 Investor Note with the remaining principal being subject to master netting agreements between the Company and such holders. In conjunction with the prepayment, the Company was also obligated to pay the holders interest which would have accrued with respect to the outstanding balance for the period from the redemption date through the maturity date (the “Make-Whole Interest”). As cash is received from the November 2017 Investor Note, and the related principal amount of the November 2017 Notes increases accordingly, a derivative liability related to the conversion feature and Make-Whole Interest feature embedded within the November 2017 Notes is recorded as a debt discount, and accreted into interest expense over the life of the November 2017 Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount of cash received is expensed immediately to interest expense. In addition, November Placement Agent Warrants are also issued (See The Placement Agent Notes Warrants below), recognized as liabilities pursuant to their terms and recorded as a debt discount, and accreted into interest expense over the life of the November 2017 Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount of cash received is expensed immediately to interest expense.

 

The Company elected to defer payment of the Make-Whole Interest by capitalizing the full balance under the same terms as the original November 2017 Notes. On January 2, 2018, an additional $646,263 of interest was capitalized and added to the principal balance of the November 2017 Notes and on January 26, 2018, investors redeemed principal of $2,894,062 in exchange for cash. On April 2, 2018 and July 2, 2018, an additional $1,028,730 and $714,977 of interest respectively, was capitalized and added to the principal balance of the note. As of September 30, 2018, the entire capitalized balance was converted to shares of the Company’s common stock and the outstanding balance owed on the capitalized Make-Whole Interest was $0.

 

The November 2017 Notes have a maturity date of November 7, 2019. On any unfunded principal balance of the November 2017 Investor Notes the Company owed to the investors a 5.25% interest obligation which is due quarterly and calculated on a 360-day basis. For the funded portion of the November 2017 Notes the Company has a 10% interest obligation. The initial conversion price for the November 2017 Notes, which includes both the November Initial Note and November Additional Note, was $3,015 ($12.06 pre-split). However, the conversion price may be adjusted upon obtaining stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) of the issuance of our common stock at any conversion price below $3,015, which may result from full ratchet conversion price adjustments required by the November 2017 Notes in the event of certain issuances below the initial conversion price. Such stockholder approval was obtained at the stockholders meeting held in February 2018. As a result, during the second and third quarters of 2018, in conjunction with the April 2018 Offering and the sale of shares in the ATM Offering at prices lower than the initial conversion price, the conversion price for the November 2017 Notes has been reduced, and as of September 30, 2018, the conversion price was $0.02.

During the second and third quarters of 2018, the Company received cash prepayments on the November 2017 Investor Notes of $58,959,736, of which $58,959,736 of principal and $8,252,583 of accrued interest, were converted into 612,792 (58,905,544 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, there was no outstanding unrestricted principal under the November 2017 Notes and $20,388,861 in restricted principal outstanding for which there was a corresponding amount due under corresponding November 2017 Investor Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized $261,657 and $5,994,771 of interest expense pertaining to the November 2017 Notes and had $261,657 of accrued interest as of September 30, 2018.

 

On June 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the securities purchase agreement between the Company and the institutional investors holding the November 2017 Notes to reduce the number of shares of common stock required to be reserved for issuance under the November 2017 Notes from 200% to 110% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes until the earlier of the January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval Date (as defined below) and August 1, 2018. After such date, the required reserve amount will be increased back to 200%. As more fully described in Note 20 – Subsequent Events, the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company issued the November 2017 Notes was amended to reduce the number of shares of common stock of the Company required to be reserved for issuance under the November 2017 Notes to 100% of the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes.

January 2018 Notes

 

On January 23, 2018, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “January Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by the Company and an institutional investor the Company sold and issued senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000 (collectively, the “January 2018 Notes”), consisting of (i) a Series A-1 Senior Bridge Subordinated Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (the “Series A-1 Note”) and (ii) a Series B-1 Senior Secured Bridge Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000 (the “Series B-1 Note”) for consideration consisting of (i) a cash payment in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000, and (ii) a secured promissory note payable by the buyer to the Company (the “January 2018 Investor Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000 which is subject to a master netting agreement between the Company and the buyer (collectively, the “January 2018 Financing”). In conjunction with the prepayment of the January 2018 Investor Note the Company was also obligated to pay the buyer interest which would have accrued with respect to the outstanding balance for the period from the redemption date through the maturity date (the “January Make-Whole Interest”). As cash is received from the January 2018 Investor Note, and the related principal amount of the January 2018 Notes increases accordingly, a derivative liability related to the conversion feature and the January Make-Whole Interest feature embedded within the January 2018 Notes is recorded as a debt discount and any excess value over the amount of cash received is expensed immediately to interest expense. In addition, January Placement Agent Warrants were also issued (See The Placement Agent Notes and Warrants below), recognized as liabilities pursuant to their terms and recorded as a debt discount, and accreted into interest expense over the life of the January 2018 Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount of cash received was expensed immediately to interest expense.

 

The Company elected to defer payment of the January Make-Whole Interest by capitalizing the full balance under the same terms as the original January 2018 Notes. On April 2, 2018, $352,187 and July 2, 2018, $468,180 of interest, respectively, was capitalized and added to the principal balance of the note. As of September 30, 2018, the entire capitalized was converted to shares of the Company’s common stock and the outstanding balance owed on the capitalized Make-Whole Interest was $0.

Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the January 2018 Notes have a maturity date of January 23, 2020. The Series A-1 Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Upon issuance, the Series B-1 Note initially consisted entirely of “Restricted Principal” which is defined as that portion of the principal amount of a Series B-1 Note that equals the outstanding principal amount of the corresponding January 2018 Investor Note. The principal amount of the January 2018 Investor Note is subject to reduction through prepayments by the buyer of the January 2018 Investor Note given by the buyer to the Company or, upon maturity or redemption of the Series B-1 Note, by netting the amount owed by the buyer under the January 2018 Investor Note against a corresponding amount of principal to be canceled under the buyer’s Series B-1 Note. Each prepayment under the January 2018 Investor Note will convert a corresponding amount of Restricted Principal under the Series B-1 Note into “Unrestricted Principal” that may be converted into common stock.

 

The January 2018 Notes have an initial conversion price of $2,860 ($11.44 pre-split) per share. However, pursuant to the January Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to seek stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) of the issuance of our common stock at a conversion price per share as low as $1.83 following the occurrence of an event of default or otherwise at any conversion price below $2,860 which may result from full ratchet conversion price adjustments required by the January 2018 Notes in the event of certain issuances below the initial conversion price. Such stockholder approval was obtained on July 23, 2018. As a result, in conjunction with the April 2018 Offering and the sale of shares in the ATM Offering at prices lower than the initial conversion price, the conversion price for the January 2018 Notes has been reduced, and as of September 30, 2018, the conversion price was $0.02.

 

The Company is required to redeem the January 2018 Notes (i) at the option of the buyer from and after June 7, 2018; (ii) at the option of the buyer if the Company completes a subsequent public or private offering of debt or equity securities, including equity-linked securities (subject to certain excluded issuances); (iii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including a Bankruptcy Event of Default (each, as defined in the January 2018 Notes); or (iv) in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the January 2018 Notes). With the exception of a redemption required by an Event of Default (as defined in the January 2018 Notes), which may be paid with cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the buyer, the Company will be required to redeem the January 2018 Notes with cash. All amounts outstanding under the January 2018 Notes are secured by the January 2018 Investor Note and all proceeds therefrom. The January 2018 Notes are not secured by, and the buyer does not have a lien on, any assets of the Company other than the January 2018 Investor Note.

 

MoviePass has guaranteed the obligations arising under the January 2018 Notes.

 

Provided there has been no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the January 2018 Notes) and, as to the Series A-1 Note, no August 2017 Notes or November 2017 Notes remain outstanding, and as to the Series B-1 Note, no August 2017 Notes, November 2017 Notes, Series A-1 Note or Series B-1 Note with any Unrestricted Principal remain outstanding, the Company will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Outstanding Amount (as defined in the January 2018 Notes) remaining unpaid under the January 2018 Notes. The portion of the January 2018 Notes subject to redemption can be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 115% of the amount being redeemed. Under the Series B-1 Note, the Company may reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the Restricted Principal by the surrender for cancellation of such portion of the corresponding January 2018 Investor Note equal to the amount of Restricted Principal included in the redemption.

 

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company received cash payments on the January 2018 Notes of $6,000,000, of which $6,000,000 of principal and $909,021 of accrued interest, were converted into 109,897,912 shares of the Company’s common stock during the third quarter of 2018. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2018, the Company converted principal under the January 2018 Notes in the amount of $820,367, and interest of $128,068 into 1,896,872 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On June 1, 2018, the Company and the buyer entered into an amendment to the January Securities Purchase Agreement and the January 2018 Notes to reduce the number of shares of common stock required to be reserved for issuance under the January 2018 Notes from 200% to 100% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the January 2018 Notes until the earlier of (1) the date stockholders approve resolutions providing for the issuance of the January 2018 Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the January 2018 Notes (the “January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval” and the date the Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval Date”) and (2) August 1, 2018. After such date, the required reserve amount will be increased back to 200%. The amendment to the January Securities Purchase Agreement also extended the date by which the Company must hold the special meeting to obtain the January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval from June 1, 2018 to August 1, 2018. As more fully described in Note 20 – Subsequent Events, the January Securities Purchase Agreement was amended to reduce the number of shares of common stock of the Company required to be reserved for issuance under the January 2018 Notes to 125% of the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the January 2018 Notes.

 

February 2018 Units Offering

 

On February 13, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately $105 million worth of units (the “Units”) of the Company’s securities to Canaccord Genuity Inc., on behalf of itself and as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Underwriters in a best-efforts underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) at a purchase price of $5.192 per Unit with each Unit consisting of (A) 7,425,000 Series A-1 units (the “Series A-1 Units”), with each Series A-1 Unit consisting of (i) 0.004 (one pre-split) share of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) 0.004 (one pre-split) Series A-1 warrant to purchase 0.004 (one pre-split) share of the Company’s common stock (a “Series A-1 Warrant”); and (B) for those purchasers whose purchase of Series A-1 Units would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock following the consummation of the Offering, 11,675,000 Series B-1 units (the “Series B-1 Units”), consisting of (i) 0.004 (one pre-split) pre-funded Series B-1 warrant to purchase 0.004 (one pre-split) share of common stock (a “Series B-1 Warrant”; and the Series B-1 Warrants, together with the Series A-1 Warrants, the “Warrants”) and (ii) 0.004 (one pre-split) Series A-1 Warrant.

  

Each Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the issuance date until the five-year anniversary of the issuance date. Each Series A-1 Warrant is exercisable at a price of $1,625 ($6.50 pre-split) per share of common stock. Each Series B-1 Warrant has an aggregate exercise price of $1,375 ($5.50 pre-split) per share of common stock, all of which were pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock. All Series B-1 Warrants were exercised.

 

The Company received approximately $96.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Units, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions equal to $5.9 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million, not taking into account any exercise of the Warrants. In addition, Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC acted as financial advisor in connection with the Offering and received a financial advisory fee equal to $1.9 million.

 

The Warrants were recorded as liabilities and initially recorded at fair value with the residual amount received allocated to the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of and number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance by the Company of stock dividends, stock splits, and similar proportionately applied changes affecting the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, the Series A-1 Warrants are subject to adjustment of the applicable exercise price then in effect, if, as of December 17, 2018 (the “Adjustment Date”), the quotient determined by dividing the (x) sum of the VWAP (as defined in the Series A-1 Warrant) of the common stock for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date, divided by (y) 0.4 (10 pre-split) (all such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period) (the “Adjustment Price”), is less than the applicable exercise price. If the Adjustment Price is less than the applicable exercise price as of the Adjustment Date, then the exercise price shall be automatically adjusted to be equal to the Adjustment Price.

If the Company consummates any merger, consolidation, sale or other reorganization event in which its common stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (“Fundamental Transaction”), then the Company shall pay at the Warrants holder’s option, exercisable at any time commencing on the occurrence or the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction and continuing for 90 days, an amount of cash equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of such Fundamental Transaction.

 

April 2018 Units Offering

 

On April 23, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately $30 million worth of units (the “April 2018 Units”) of the Company’s securities to Canaccord Genuity Inc., on behalf of itself and as representative of the underwriters (the “April Offering Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the April Offering Underwriters in a best-efforts underwritten public offering (the “April 2018 Offering”) at a purchase price of $2.59875 per April 2018 Unit with each April 2018 Unit consisting of (A) 10,500,000 Series A-2 units (the “Series A-2 Units”), with each Series A-2 Unit consisting of (i) 0.004 (one pre-split) share (an “April Share”) of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) 0.004 (one pre-split) Series A-2 warrant to purchase 0.004 (one pre-split) share of common stock (the “Series A-2 Warrants”); and (B) for those purchasers whose purchase of Series A-2 Units would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock following the consummation of the April 2018 Offering, 500,000 Series B-2 units (the “Series B-2 Units”), consisting of (i) 0.004 (one pre-split) pre-funded Series B-2 warrant to purchase 0.004 (one pre-split) share of common stock (the “Series B-2 Warrants”, and together with the Series A-2 Warrants, the “April Warrants”) and (ii) 0.004 (one pre-split) Series A-2 Warrant. The April Shares, Series A-2 Warrants and Series B-2 Warrants were immediately separable.

 

Each April Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the issuance date until the five-year anniversary of the issuance date. Each Series A-2 Warrant is exercisable at a price of $250 ($1.00 pre-split) per share of common stock. Each Series B-2 Warrant had an aggregate exercise price of $687.50 ($2.75 pre-split) per share of common stock, all of which were pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock. All the Series B-2 Warrants were exercised.

 

The Company received approximately $27.7 million in net proceeds from the sale of the April 2018 Units, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions equal to $1.7 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $1.0 million, not taking into account any exercise of the April Warrants. In addition, Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC acted as financial advisor in connection with the April 2018 Offering and received a financial advisory fee equal to $0.6 million

 

The April Warrants were recorded as liabilities and initially recorded at fair value with the residual amount received allocated to the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of and number of shares of common stock underlying the April Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance by the Company of stock dividends, stock splits, and similar proportionately applied changes affecting the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Series A-2 Warrants also include “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection provisions (the “Full Ratchet Adjustment”), which provide that if the Company issues any shares of common stock at a price less than the then current exercise price of the Series A-2 Warrants, or if the Company issues any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of common stock with an exercise or conversion price less than the then current exercise price of the Series A-2 Warrants, then the exercise price of the Series A-2 Warrants will automatically be reduced to the issuance price of the new shares of common stock or the exercise or conversion price of the April Warrants, options or other convertible or exchangeable securities.

The Full Ratchet Adjustment does not apply if the Company issues “Excluded Securities”, including certain (i) option and other equity incentive awards approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to be issued to directors, officers, consultants and employees, (ii) shares of common stock issuable pursuant to existing employment agreements, (iii) shares of common stock issued upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities that were previously issued, (iv) shares of common stock issued pursuant to strategic license agreements, mergers or acquisitions (but does not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital), (v) shares of common stock issued under the ATM Offering after the fifteenth calendar day that the Series A-2 Warrants were issued and (vi) 2,000 (500,000 pre-split) shares granted by the Company’s Board of Directors to Helios & Matheson Information Technology Ltd, a current stockholder of the Company, in exchange for its entry into a 12-month lock-up agreement with the Company.

 

If the Company consummates any merger, consolidation, sale or other reorganization event in which its common stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (“fundamental transaction”), then the Company shall pay at the holder’s option, exercisable at any time commencing on the occurrence or the consummation of a fundamental transaction and continuing for 90 days, an amount of cash equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of such fundamental transaction.

 

June 2018 Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock

 

On June 26, 2018, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2018, by and between the Company and certain institutional investors (the “June Buyers” and such agreement, the “June Securities Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued and sold 20,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”) and Series B-2 Senior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $164,000,000 (which includes an approximate 15.0% original issue discount) (the “June 2018 Convertible Notes”), for total consideration consisting of an aggregate cash payment to the Company of $20,500,000 and secured promissory notes payable by the June Buyers to the Company (the “June 2018 Investor Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $139,400,000.

 

Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the June 2018 Convertible Notes would have matured on June 26, 2020. The maturity date of the June 2018 Investor Notes was June 26, 2060. Upon issuance, (i) $24,600,000 in principal amount of the June 2018 Convertible Notes consisted of “Unrestricted Principal”, which is defined as that portion of the principal amount of June 2018 Convertible Note that may be converted at any time and is not subject to netting  against any June 2018 Investor Notes, and (ii) the balance of the principal amount under the June 2018 Convertible Notes, equal to $139,400,000, consisted entirely of “Restricted Principal”, which is defined as that portion of the principal amount of a June 2018 Convertible Note that equals the outstanding principal amount of a corresponding June 2018 Investor Note. The principal amount of each June 2018 Investor Note was subject to reduction through prepayments by the applicable June Buyer of the applicable June 2018 Investor Note given by the applicable June Buyer to the Company or, upon maturity or redemption of the June 2018 Convertible Notes, by netting the amount owed by the applicable June Buyer under such June 2018 Investor Note against a corresponding amount of Restricted Principal to be canceled under the June 2018 Convertible Note. Each prepayment under the June 2018 Investor Notes would convert a corresponding amount of Restricted Principal under the June 2018 Convertible Notes into “Unrestricted Principal” that could be converted into common stock.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the June Buyers prepaid $24,600,000 of the June 2018 Investor Notes with the remaining principal being subject to a master netting agreement between the Company and the June Buyers (collectively, the “June 2018 Financing”). In conjunction with the prepayment, the Company was also obligated to pay the June Buyers interest which would have accrued with respect to the outstanding balance for the period from the redemption date through the maturity date (the “June Make-Whole Interest”).

 

On any unfunded principal balance of the June 2018 Investor Notes the Company owed to the June Buyers a 5.25% interest obligation which was due quarterly and calculated on a 360-day basis. For the funded portion of the June 2018 Notes the Company had a 10% interest obligation.

Interest on the June 2018 Convertible Notes was capitalized on each quarterly interest payment date starting July 1, 2018 by adding the interest to the then outstanding principal amount of the June 2018 Convertible Notes. Interest could also be paid by inclusion in the “Outstanding Amount”, which is defined in the June 2018 Convertible Notes as the principal amount to be converted or redeemed, accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount, accrued and unpaid late charges, if any, and the “June Make-Whole Amount.” The “June Make-Whole Amount” is defined as the amount of any interest that, but for a conversion or redemption, would have accrued with respect to the Outstanding Amount (as defined in the June 2018 Convertible Notes) of principal being redeemed or converted under the June 2018 Convertible Notes, for the period from the applicable date of conversion or redemption date through the maturity date of the June 2018 Convertible Notes. No June Make-Whole Amount is payable under the June 2018 Convertible Notes with respect to any portion of Restricted Principal after the cancellation of such Restricted Principal pursuant to netting under the June 2018 Convertible Notes, the June 2018 Investor Notes or the Master Netting Agreement (as defined below), as applicable. In the event of an event of default interest under the June 2018 Convertible Notes could be increased to 15% during the first 30 days following the occurrence and continuance of an event of default and to 18% thereafter (the “Default Rate”).

 

Provided there has been no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the June 2018 Convertible Notes) and no November 2017 Notes, January 2018 Notes, or shares of the Preferred Stock remain outstanding and no Unrestricted Principal remains outstanding under the June 2018 Convertible Notes, the Company had the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Outstanding Amount remaining unpaid under the June 2018 Convertible Notes. The portion of the June 2018 Convertible Notes subject to redemption could be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 115% of the amount being redeemed. Under the June 2018 Convertible Notes, the Company could reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the Restricted Principal by the surrender for cancellation of such portion of the corresponding June 2018 Investor Notes equal to the amount of Restricted Principal included in the redemption.

 

The June Buyers had the right to elect, at any time after the Company obtains approval by its stockholders to either increase its authorized shares of common stock or effect a reverse stock split, which approval was obtained on July 23, 2018, to convert the June 2018 Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations described below. The “Conversion Price” is $250 ($1.00 pre-split) per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustment as described in the June 2018 Convertible Notes). However, pursuant to the June Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to seek stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) of the issuance of common stock at a conversion price per share below $250 which may result from the full ratchet conversion price adjustments required by the June 2018 Convertible Notes in the event of certain issuances below the initial conversion price. The Company was required to hold a special meeting of stockholders by November 14, 2018 to obtain such approval. If such stockholder approval was obtained, if the Company issues securities in certain transactions, such as the ATM Offering, at a price lower than the applicable conversion price, then the applicable conversion price for the June 2018 Convertible Notes will be reduced to equal such lower price.

 

The Preferred Stock was determined to be classified in equity. Accordingly, the June 2018 Convertible Notes and the Preferred Stock were recorded based on their relative fair values. A derivative liability related to the conversion feature and make-whole interest feature embedded within the June 2018 Convertible Notes is recorded as a debt discount, accreted into interest expense over the life of the June 2018 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount allocated to the June 2018 Convertible Notes was expensed immediately to interest expense. In addition, June Placement Agent Warrants are also issued (See The Placement Agent Notes and Warrants below), recognized as liabilities pursuant to their terms and recorded as a debt discount, and accreted into interest expense over the life of the June 2018 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method, and any excess value over the amount of cash received is expensed immediately to interest expense.

 

MoviePass has guaranteed the obligations arising under the June 2018 Convertible Notes.

In connection with the June 2018 Financing, Theodore Farnsworth, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and Helios & Matheson Information Technology Ltd, of which Muralikrishna Gadiyaram, a director of the Company, is the chief executive officer, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Helios & Matheson Inc., who collectively owned approximately 1.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as of the closing of the June 2018 Financing, entered into Voting and Lockup Agreements with the Company. In addition, the Company entered into separate Buyer Voting Agreements with each of the June Buyers with terms consistent with the June 2018 Amendment and Exchange Agreements (see Exchange of Warrants for Common Shares below).

 

As of September 30, 2018, there was no unrestricted principal balance of the June 2018 Convertible Notes outstanding and restricted principal outstanding was $74,800,000 for which there was a corresponding amount due under the June 2018 Investor Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized $959,933 and $965,233, respectively, of interest expense pertaining to the June 2018 Convertible Notes and had $959,933 of accrued interest as of September 30, 2018.

 

On October 4, 2018, the Company entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “October Exchange Agreement”) with the holder of a June 2018 Convertible Note having an outstanding principal amount of $68,882,583 for the purpose of (i) netting the June 2018 Investor Note issued by such holder to the Company having an aggregate principal amount of $68,000,000 against such holder’s June 2018 Convertible Note and (ii) following such netting transaction, exchanging the remaining outstanding amount payable under such holder’s June 2018 Convertible Note for a new non-convertible Senior Note issued by the Company to such holder (the “New Non-Convertible Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $20,400,000, subject to reduction as provided in the New Non-Convertible Note. As a result, such holder’s June 2018 Convertible Note, and the corresponding June 2018 Investor Note issued by such holder, were each cancelled and became null and void.

 

Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the October Exchange Agreement and the netting of the other June 2018 Investor Notes by the other holders of the June 2018 Investor Notes against their corresponding June 2018 Convertible Notes, all the June 2018 Convertible Notes have been cancelled.

 

Exchange of Warrants for Common Shares

 

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into separate June 2018 Amendment and Exchange Agreements (each, an “Exchange Agreement”) with the holders (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of certain warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for the purpose of exchanging outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 106,437 (26,609,269 pre-split) shares of common stock (the “June Exchange Warrants”) for an aggregate of 90,472 (22,617,879 pre-split) shares of common stock (collectively, the “June Exchange Shares”), based on a ratio of 0.85 June Exchange Shares for each warrant share. As a result, the June Exchange Warrants have been cancelled.

 

On June 28, 2018, each Holder that was not a party to the June Securities Purchase Agreement entered into a voting agreement with the Company (each, a “Voting Agreement” and collectively, the “Voting Agreements”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Holder agreed to vote the June Exchange Shares and any shares of common stock the Holder owns or may acquire (collectively, the “Holder Securities”) at any meeting of stockholders of the Company: (a) in favor of (i) approval of resolutions providing for the January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval, (ii) an increase in the authorized shares of the Company and (iii) a reverse stock split of the common stock; and (b) against any proposal or any other corporate action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Transaction Documents (as defined in the June Securities Purchase Agreement) or the Transaction Documents (as defined in the January Securities Purchase Agreement) or which could result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined in the June Securities Purchase Agreement) or the Transaction Documents (as defined in the January Securities Purchase Agreement), as applicable, not being fulfilled. The agreements to vote the Holder Securities described above terminate immediately following the occurrence of the January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval described above.

The Voting Agreements also required that, at any time on or prior to the record date for the meeting of stockholders of the Company at which the Company obtained the January 2018 Notes Stockholder Approval, each Holder would not sell or transfer any of the June Exchange Shares. However, the Holders (or their designees, as applicable) were not prohibited from (i) using their Holder Securities to cover the Holders’ or their respective affiliates’ Short Sales (as defined in SEC Regulation SHO) outstanding as of the date of the Voting Agreement, (ii) lending any of their Holder Securities to any person, or (iii) pledging any of the Holder Securities to any person.

 

In connection with the Exchange Agreements, on June 28, 2018, each Holder entered into a leak-out agreement with the Company (each a “Leak-Out Agreement” and collectively, the “Leak-Out Agreements”), which restricted each Holder from selling the June Exchange Shares during certain periods. Pursuant to the Leak-Out Agreements, for a period ending on the earlier of (x) July 23, 2018 and (y) the Stock Split Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the June Securities Purchase Agreement) (such earlier date, the “Lock-Up End Date”), the Holder was not, after the date of the Leak-Out Agreement, to sell any of the June Exchange Shares. However, the Holders (or their designees, as applicable) were not prohibited from (i) using their Holder Securities to cover the Holders’ or their respective affiliates’ Short Sales (as defined in SEC Regulation SHO) outstanding as of the date of the Leak-Out Agreement, (ii) lending any of their Holder Securities to any person, or (iii) pledging any of their Holder Securities to any person. In addition, subject to certain exclusions, Holders and any Trading Affiliates (as defined in the Leak-Out Agreements) were restricted from selling specified amounts of their June Exchange Shares for up to fifteen calendar days after the Lock-Up End Date, unless certain events, as described in the Leak-Out Agreements, earlier terminated such restrictions.

 

On June 28, 2018, the Company and the Required Holder (as defined in the June Securities Purchase Agreement), entered into an amendment to the June Securities Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Stockholder Meeting Deadline (as defined in the June Securities Purchase Agreement) was amended from July 18, 2018 to July 23, 2018.

 

The collective June Exchange Warrants which were exchanged in this transaction, were all recorded as liabilities at fair value upon issuance and marked to market at each balance sheet date. The June Exchange Warrants were valued through the date of exchange, June 28, 2018, based upon the original terms of the agreements with changes in fair value recorded in the as gain/loss on warrant liability. The June Exchange Warrants were then valued on the same day based on the fair value of the common shares into which they were converted (0.85 June Exchange Shares for each warrant), and the difference in the fair value between the two instruments was recorded as gain/loss on exchange of warrant. The fair value determined on June 28, 2018 then became the consideration received for the issuance of the common stock. The excess of the consideration received over the par value of the common stock was recorded as Additional Paid in Capital. Accordingly, the incremental change in fair value between the Investor Warrant and the Exchange Warrant is calculated as $301,500 and recorded as Gain on Exchange of Warrants.

 

Waiver Agreements

 

On July 10, 2018, the Company entered into a Waiver Agreement (the “July Waiver Agreement”) with a holder of the November 2017 Notes, January 2018 Notes and June 2018 Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Existing Notes”).

 

Pursuant to the July Waiver Agreement, such holder, in its capacity as the Required Holder under the Securities Purchase Agreements pursuant to which the Existing Notes were issued: (i) waived any obligation by the Company to effect any redemption of the Existing Notes as a result of the consummation of a proposed public offering of securities by the Company (the “New Proposed Offering”), (ii) reduced the aggregate number of shares required to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, (iii) deferred the right that the holders of the Existing Notes may have to adjust the Conversion Price (as defined in the applicable Existing Note) of such Existing Notes solely as a result of the issuance of securities in the New Proposed Offering until the fourth trading day after the time of the pricing of the New Proposed Offering, (iv) consented to the New Proposed Offering, and (v) waived any prohibition with respect to the issuance of the securities in the New Proposed Offering.

On July 13, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the July Waiver Agreement. The Amendment revised the July Waiver Agreement as follows: (i) the waiver of the Company’s obligation to effect any redemption of the Existing Notes as a result of the consummation of a New Proposed Offering (as defined in the July Waiver Agreement) applies only to the extent the redemption right arises from the occurrence of a Financing (as defined in the June 2018 Convertible Notes) occurring between July 11, 2018 and July 17, 2018; (ii) the number of shares permitted to be offered in the New Proposed Offering was reduced; (iii) the number of shares required to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes was increased; (iv) the reduction in the number of shares required to be reserved upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes (the “Reduction Shares”) ends when stockholders approve either an increase in the authorized shares of common stock or a reverse stock split of the common stock, and if the Reduction Shares are not issued prior to close of market on July 17, 2018, the Reduction Shares that were not issued would be restored to (and increase) the reserve for the November 2017 Notes; and (v) the deferral of the right that the holders of the Existing Notes may have to adjust the Conversion Price (as defined in the applicable Existing Note) of such Existing Notes solely as a result of the issuance of securities in the New Proposed Offering until the fourth trading day after the time of the pricing of the New Proposed Offering provided in the July Waiver Agreement was eliminated.

 

July 13, 2018 Demand Note

 

On July 13, 2018 the Company issued a demand note (the “July 13 Demand Note”) in the principal amount of $6,806,850, which included $5.0 million in cash borrowed by the Company from the holder and $1,806,850 required to be paid by the Company to the holder pursuant to a partial redemption of the June 2018 Convertible Notes held by the holder. The July 13 Demand Note bore interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 10.0% per year. The holder could make a demand for full payment of the July 13 Demand Note from and after July 17, 2018. The Company was required to use all proceeds received by the Company under its ATM Offering to repay the July 13 Demand Note. The July 13 Demand Note and all accrued interest could be prepaid by the Company without penalty. With the agreement of the holder, principal and interest accrued on the July 13 Demand Note could be applied to all, or any part, of the purchase price of securities to be issued upon the consummation, after July 13, 2018, of an offering of securities by the Company to the holder. Any amount of principal or other amounts due which is not paid when due would result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company to the holder in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of 15% per year from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full. 

 

The $5,000,000 cash proceeds received from the July 13 Demand Note were used by the Company to pay the Company’s merchant and fulfillment processors. 

 

MoviePass executed a guaranty (the “MoviePass July 13 Demand Note Guaranty”) pursuant to which MoviePass guaranteed the punctual payment of the July 13 Demand Note, including, without limitation, all principal, interest and other amounts that accrue after the commencement of any insolvency proceeding of the Company or MoviePass, whether or not the payment of such interest and/or other amounts are enforceable or are allowable and agreed to pay any and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the holder in enforcing any rights under the MoviePass July 13 Demand Note Guaranty or the July 13 Demand Note.

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company paid in full the $6,800,000 outstanding under the July 13 Demand Note.

July 27, 2018 Demand Note

 

On July 27, 2018, the Company issued a demand note (the “July 27 Demand Note”) in the principal amount of $6,200,000, which included $5.0 million in cash borrowed by the Company from the holder and $1.2 million of original issue discount. The holder could make a demand for full payment of the July 27 Demand Note from and after (x) with respect to up to $3,100,000 of the principal outstanding under the July 27 Demand Note (the “Initial Principal”), August 1, 2018 or (y) with respect to any other amounts then outstanding under the July 27 Demand Note, August 5, 2018. The Company was required to use all proceeds received by the Company on or after July 31, 2018 from sales of common stock under its ATM Offering against any Initial Principal until no Initial Principal remains outstanding, and thereafter, against any remaining amounts due under the July 27 Demand Note. The July 27 Demand Note’s principal, together with accrued and unpaid late charges could be prepaid by the Company without penalty. With the agreement of the holder, principal and accrued and unpaid late charges on the July 27 Demand Note could be applied to all, or any part, of the purchase price of securities to be issued upon the consummation, after July 27, 2018, of an offering of securities by the Company to the holder. Any amount of principal or other amounts due which is not paid when due (a “Payment Default”) would result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company to the holder in an amount equal to interest on such amount as the rate of 15% per year from the date such amount was due until the same was paid in full. If a Payment Default remained outstanding for a period of 48 hours, the holder could require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the July 27 Demand Note at a redemption price of 130%.

 

The $5,000,000 cash proceeds received from the July 27 Demand Note were used by the Company to pay the Company’s merchant and fulfillment processors. If the Company is unable to make required payments to its merchant and fulfillment processors, the merchant and fulfillment processors may cease processing payments for MoviePass, which would cause a MoviePass service interruption. Such a service interruption occurred on July 26, 2018. Any future service interruptions could have a further material adverse effect on MoviePass’ ability to retain its subscribers. This would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

MoviePass executed a guaranty (the “MoviePass July 27 Demand Note Guaranty”) pursuant to which MoviePass guaranteed the punctual payment of the July 27 Demand Note, including, without limitation, all principal, interest and other amounts that accrue after the commencement of any insolvency proceeding of the Company or MoviePass, whether or not the payment of such interest and/or other amounts are enforceable or are allowable, and agreed to pay any and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the holder in enforcing any rights under the MoviePass July 27 Demand Note Guaranty or the July 27 Demand Note.

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company paid in full the $6,200,000 outstanding under the July 27 Demand Note.

  12. Common and Preferred Stock

 

Common Stock

 

On February 5, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment”). Following stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 8, 2018, at which time the Charter Amendment became effective.

 

On July 23, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 shares and to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock from 502,000,000 to 5,002,000,000 (the “Authorized Share Increase”), of which 2,000,000 shares with a par value of one cent ($0.01) per share shall be designated as “Preferred Stock” and 5,000,000,000 shares with a par value of one cent ($0.01) per share shall be designated as “Common Stock.” Following the stockholder approval, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 23, 2018, at which time the Authorized Share Increase became effective.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 23, 2018, the Board of Directors approved the Reverse Stock Split and the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.

 

A Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Reverse Stock Split was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 24, 2018, and the Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment on July 24, 2018.

 

The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock, which (following the Authorized Share Increase) is 5,000,000,000 shares. A proportionate adjustment was made to (i) the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and outstanding convertible notes and (ii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Fractional shares were not issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; instead, the Board of Directors, determined to effect an issuance of shares to holders that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share such that any fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The fair value of the derivative conversion features and warrant liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were calculated using a Monte Carlo option model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

  

    September 30, 2018     December 31, 2017  
    Amount     Amount  
Dividend yield     0 %     -       0 %             0 %        
Expected volatility     165 %     -       280 %     45 %     -       270 %
Risk free interest rate     2.40 %     -       2.93 %     1.06 %     -       2.20 %
Contractual term (in years)     1.14       -       4.55 %     0.19       -       5.00  
Exercise price   $ 0.01       -     $ 1,812.50       $0.25
($0.001 pre-split)
      -       $3,577.50
($14.310 pre-split)
 

 

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input (probability of a down round event) used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change in the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

 

14. Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described as follows:

 

On March 3, 2014, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) which the Company’s stockholders approved at the annual stockholders’ meeting on May 5, 2014. The 2014 Plan as amended set aside and reserved 12,000 (3,000,000 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock for grant and issuance in accordance with its terms and conditions. Persons eligible to receive awards from the 2014 Plan include employees (including officers and directors) of the Company and its affiliates, consultants who provide significant services to the Company or its affiliates, and directors who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates (the “Participants”). The 2014 Plan permits the Company to issue to Participants qualified and/or non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common stock, restricted common stock, performance units, and performance shares. The 2014 Plan will terminate on March 3, 2024. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for administration of the 2014 Plan and has the sole discretion to determine which Participants will be granted awards and the terms and conditions of the awards granted. The 2014 Plan also provides for an annual automatic increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by the lesser of (A) 12,000 (3,000,000 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock or the equivalent of such number of shares after the administrator of the 2014 Plan, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction; (B) a number of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on January 2nd of each year, and (C) an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. A total of 10,440 (2,610,000 pre-split) shares of common stock remained available for issuance as of September 30, 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2018, there have not been any stock option grants made pursuant to the 2014 Plan.

 

From time to time the Board of Directors has also authorized the issuance of shares of common stock outside of the 2014 Plan to consultants and employees for services rendered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company awarded 0 and 2,027 (506,750 pre-split) shares, respectively, to consultants who provided services to the Company. In connection with such awards (including awards granted in 2017) the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $232,188 and $5,913,349, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Unamortized stock compensation costs related to these awards at September 30, 2018 of $250,333 will be recognized over the anticipated service period during the balance of 2018. The Company issued 0 and 4,809 (1,202,167 pre-split) shares of common stock to employees and consultants for services provided during 2017 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized expense in 2017 of $15,631,605, with respect to such awards, and recorded a liability on the balance sheet at December 31, 2017, related to these costs which were settled in shares.

The shares historically issued both pursuant to the 2014 Plan and outside the 2014 Plan have been fully vested in certain cases and subject to vesting conditions in other cases; they generally contain resale or transfer restrictions pursuant to lock up agreements ranging from 18 to 24 months from the award date. 

 

The Company generally recognizes stock compensation expense on the grant date and over the period of vesting or period that services will be provided. Compensation associated with shares issued or to be issued to consultants and other non-employees is recognized over the expected service period beginning on the measurement date which is generally the time the Company and the service provider enter into a commitment whereby the Company agrees to grant shares in exchange for the services to be provided. 

 

MoviePass, Inc.

 

MoviePass maintained the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The 2011 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of MoviePass, which selects the individuals to whom options will be granted, and determines the number of options to be granted and the term and exercise price of each option. Stock options granted pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan generally cannot be granted with an exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The term of the options granted under the 2011 Plan cannot be greater than 10 years. Options vest at varying rates generally over three to five years along with performance-based options.

Legal Proceeding :  

 

On August 2, 2018, Jeffrey Chang, acting on behalf of himself and a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between August 15, 2017, and July 26, 2018, filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and two of its executive officers, Theodore Farnsworth and Stuart Benson (the “August 2, 2018 Complaint”). Jeffrey Chang v. Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc., et. al., Case No. 1:18-cv-6965. On August 13, 2018, Jeffrey Braxton, acting on behalf of himself and a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between August 15, 2017, and July 26, 2018, filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and two of its executive officers, Theodore Farnsworth and Stuart Benson. Jeffrey Braxton v. Helios and Matheson Analytics, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-07242-UA. On November 16, 2018, the Court consolidated the two actions, appointed a group as lead plaintiffs and appointed Levi & Korsinsky as lead counsel for the putative class. On January 4, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against the Company, Theodore Farnsworth, Stuart Benson, and Mitchell Lowe (the “ Consolidated Complaint ”). The Consolidated Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company’s statements to the market were materially false or misleading because the Company allegedly represented that it would continue to experience substantial growth, and that its business model was sustainable. The plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. On February 25, 2019, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint with prejudice.

 

On September 20, 2018, Yu Chen, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, derivatively on behalf of the Company against Theodore Farnsworth, Stuart Benson, Muralikrishna Gadiyaram, Prathap Singh, Gavriel Ralbag, and Carl Schramm, and the Company as a nominal defendant (Index No. 654686/2018). The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against the individual defendants. The plaintiff has agreed to stay the action pending a decision on an anticipated motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint.

 

On November 29, 2018, Timour Prokpiev, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a substantially similar complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against the same defendants as in the Chen case asserting similar claims (Index No. 655939/2018). The Prokpiev and Chen cases have been consolidated and are subject to a stipulated stay pending the earlier of 30 days after the entry of an order denying any part of the motion to dismiss the securities class action related to the Consolidated Complaint referenced above, or a final order dismissing such securities class action with prejudice. On January 14, 2019, David J. Lichter, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York derivatively on behalf of the Company against the same defendants as in the Chen case (with the exception of Mr. Schramm) for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and abuse of control (Index No. 650275/2019).

18. Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company had a tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 of $10,283 and $(2,747), respectively, and $46,953 and $39,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Tax for both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was comprised of minimum state taxes and a provision for tax in respect to taxes incurred by the Company’s Indian subsidiary.

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate method prescribed by ASC 740-270, plus discrete items. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the US statutory tax rates of 21% and 35%, respectively, primarily relates to changes in the valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, non-deductible expenses, state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit), the effect of taxes on foreign earnings, and changes to provisional amounts recorded for certain aspects of the Act. 

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that either some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and available carry-back capacity in making this assessment, therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance on its net domestic deferred tax assets, excluding deferred tax liabilities that are not expected to serve as a source of income for the recognition of deferred tax assets due to their indefinite reversal period (tax amortization of goodwill). 

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company did not record any tax liabilities for uncertain income tax positions and concluded that all its tax positions are either certain or are not material to the Company’s financial statements. The Company is currently not under audit in any jurisdiction in which it conducts business.

 

19. Segment Reporting

 

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–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company operates in three segments, Consulting, Technology, and Subscription and Marketing, Promotional Services, and Film. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported three segments. The Company allocates corporate expenses to the segments for purposes of individually measuring operating segments. Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of each segment’s relative earnings prior to the allocation.

20. Subsequent Events

 

October 2018 Non-Convertible Note

 

On October 4, 2018, the Company entered into the October Exchange Agreement, with the holder of a June 2018 Convertible Note having an outstanding principal amount of approximately $68,750,000 for the purpose of (i) netting the June 2018 Investor Note issued by such holder to the Company having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $68,000,000 against such holder’s June 2018 Convertible Note and (ii) following such netting transaction, exchanging the remaining outstanding amount payable under such holder’s June 2018 Convertible Note for a new non-convertible Senior Note issued by the Company to such holder (the “October 2018 Non-Convertible Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $20,400,000, subject to reduction as provided in the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note. As a result, such holder’s June 2018 Convertible Note, and the corresponding June 2018 Investor Note issued by such holder, were each cancelled and became null and void.

 

Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the October Exchange Agreement and the netting of the other June 2018 Investor Notes by the other holders of the June 2018 Investor Notes against their corresponding June 2018 Convertible Notes, all the June 2018 Convertible Notes have been cancelled.

 

Under the October Exchange Agreement, at any time on or prior to the later of (i) the date that the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note no longer remains outstanding and (ii) the first anniversary of the date of the October Exchange Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries may not effect any Subsequent Placement (as defined in the November Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) unless the Company first offers to issue and sell to, or exchange with, the holder of the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note, at least 25% of the securities offered in the Subsequent Placement, subject to the terms and conditions of the October Exchange Agreement.

 

The October 2018 Non-Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 3% per annum, capitalized quarterly. The October 2018 Non-Convertible Note is unsecured and is not convertible into equity securities of the Company. Unless earlier redeemed, the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note will mature on May 29, 2020.

 

As long as no Event of Default (as defined in the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note) has occurred, the Company has the right to redeem the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note at any time on or prior to the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note for 50% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any. After the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note, the Company has the right to redeem the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note at any time for 100% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any. If the Company does not redeem the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note within such nine-month period, the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note will amortize monthly from June 28, 2019 in four monthly payments of $0.9 million per month (plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any capitalized interest) and, commencing on October 30, 2019, in eight monthly payments of $2.1 million (plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any capitalized interest) until paid in full.

 

Upon an Event of Default and if the Event of Default occurs on or prior to the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note, and there is neither a Primary Covenant Event of Default nor a Bankruptcy Default (each as defined in the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note), the Company must redeem the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note at a price equal to 50% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any, in each case, multiplied by a redemption premium. Upon an Event of Default and if the Event of Default occurs after the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note, or if there exists either a Primary Covenant Event of Default or a Bankruptcy Default, then the Company must redeem the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note at a price equal to 100% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any, in each case, multiplied by a redemption premium.

 

If the holder of the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note participates in a subsequent offering by the Company or prepays the January 2018 Investor Notes or the November 2017 Investor Notes issued by such holder to the Company, then 14.5% of the cash proceeds paid (or payable) by such holder in such applicable transaction will be used to pay down the October 2018 Non-Convertible Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each such payment amount will reduce the scheduled amortization payments on a reverse basis (i.e. last amortization reduced first).

 

Amendment to November Securities Purchase Agreement

 

Pursuant to the October Exchange Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company issued the November 2017 Notes (the “November Securities Purchase Agreement”) was amended to reduce the number of shares of common stock of the Company required to be reserved for issuance under the November 2017 Notes to 100% of the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes.

 

Amendment to January Securities Purchase Agreement

 

Pursuant to the October Exchange Agreement, the January Securities Purchase Agreement was amended to reduce the number of shares of common stock of the Company required to be reserved for issuance under the January 2018 Notes to 125% of the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the January 2018 Notes.

On December 18, 2018, the Company entered into a December 2018 Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “December Exchange Agreements”) with each of the holders of the November 2017 Notes in the aggregate then-outstanding principal amount of approximately $18.8 million and the January 2018 Note in the aggregate then-outstanding principal amount of approximately $25.7 million (the “Remaining Holders”) for the purpose of (i) netting the November 2017 Investor Notes and the January 2018 Investor Notes issued by the Remaining Holders to the Company having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $18.8 million and approximately $25.7 million, respectively, against the Remaining Holders’ November 2017 Notes and January 2018 Notes, and (ii) following such netting transaction, exchanging the remaining outstanding amount payable to the Remaining Holders under the November 2017 Notes and January 2018 Notes for new non-convertible Series B Senior Notes issued by the Company to the Remaining Holders (collectively, the “December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.3 million (subject to 50% reduction for a total of approximately $5.7 million if repaid within nine months). As a result, the November 2017 Notes and January 2018 Notes and the November 2017 Investor Notes and the January 2018 Investor Notes were each cancelled and became null and void.

 

The December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum, capitalized quarterly. The December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes are unsecured and are not convertible into equity securities of the Company. Unless earlier redeemed, the December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes will mature on May 29, 2020.

 

As long as no Event of Default (as defined in the December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes) has occurred, the Company has the right to redeem each December 2018 Non-Convertible Note at any time on or prior to the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of such December 2018 Non-Convertible Note for 50% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any. After the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of a December 2018 Non-Convertible Note, the Company has the right to redeem such December 2018 Non-Convertible Note at any time for 100% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any. If the Company does not redeem a December 2018 Non-Convertible Note within such nine-month period, such December 2018 Non-Convertible Note will amortize monthly from June 28, 2019 in four monthly payments of $0.5 million per month (plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any capitalized interest) and, commencing on October 30, 2019, in eight monthly payments of $1.2 million (plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any capitalized interest) until paid in full.

 

Upon an Event of Default, and if the Event of Default occurs on or prior to the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of the December 2018 Non-Convertible Note, and there is neither a Primary Covenant Event of Default nor a Bankruptcy Default (each as defined in the December 2018 Non-Convertible Note), the Company must redeem the December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes at a price equal to 50% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any, in each case, multiplied by a redemption premium. Upon an Event of Default and if the Event of Default occurs after the nine-month anniversary of the issuance of the December 2018 Non-Convertible Note, or if there exists either a Primary Covenant Event of Default or a Bankruptcy Default, then the Company must redeem the December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal being redeemed and 100% of the accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any, in each case, multiplied by a redemption premium.

 

If a holder of the December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes participates in a subsequent offering by the Company, then 14.5% of the cash proceeds paid (or payable) by such holder in such applicable transaction will be used to pay down the December 2018 Non-Convertible Notes on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each such payment amount will reduce the scheduled amortization payments on a reverse basis (i.e. last amortization reduced first).

Each Series C Warrant, Series D Warrant, and Series E Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of, respectively, $0.0163, $0.0163, and $1.00, per share, subject to adjustment. The Series C Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the six-month anniversary of issuance date until the five-year anniversary of such initial exercise date. The Series D Warrants and Series E Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the six-month anniversary of issuance date until the one-year anniversary of such initial exercise date.

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock underlying the January 2019 Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance by the Company of stock dividends, stock splits, and similar proportionately applied changes affecting the Company’s outstanding common stock. Holders of the January 2019 Warrants will be entitled to any purchase rights granted to the common stock holders and the Company shall not enter into any fundamental transaction unless the successor entity assumes the obligations of the Company under the January 2019 Warrants. Holders of the January 2019 Warrants will be entitled to participate in any dividends or other distribution of the Company’s assets declared or made to holders of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the January 2019 Warrants prohibit a holder from exercising its January 2019 Warrants if doing so would result in such holder (together with its affiliates and other persons acting as a group) beneficially owning more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company after giving effect to such exercise. 

 

In connection with the January 2019 Offering, pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter by and between the Company and the placement agent for the January 2019 Offering, the placement agent received (i) an aggregate fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the January 2019 Offering (except in the case of one of the purchasers with respect to which the fee will be equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received from such purchaser), (ii) a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the January 2019 Offering, (iii) $0.1 million for certain expenses, and (iv) warrants to purchase up to 8.0% of the aggregate amount of shares of common stock sold in the January 2019 Offering (the “January 2019 Placement Agent Warrants”), or up to 26,666,667 shares of common stock, determined by dividing the gross proceeds of the offering by the January 2019 Unit offering price. The January 2019 Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series C Warrants issued to the investors, except that the January 2019 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.020375, or 125% of the offering price per share in the January 2019 Offering, and are exercisable at any time on or after the six-month anniversary of issuance date until the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the January 2019 Offering. Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, an independent financial advisor to the Company in connection with the January 2019 Offering, received an advisory fee of $0.1 million.

Georgia Film Fund 56, LLC shall still receive its applicable credits for the film, A Vigilante , as have been previously mutually determined by the parties.

 

The parties released and discharged one another from any claims, actions, accounts, sums of money, including a non-convertible note in the amount of $2.6 million which was extinguished, effective the date of the termination.

 

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing  

 

On June 21, 2018, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has closed below a minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until December 18, 2018 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

On December 21, 2018, the Company received a written notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company failed to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). As a result, Nasdaq determined that unless the Company timely requested an appeal of such determination before the Panel, the Company’s common stock would be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and would be suspended at the opening of business on December 28, 2018. The Company timely appealed the delisting notice and appeared in front of the Panel on January 31, 2019. The Panel issued a decision on February 11, 2019 and determined to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was effective at the open of business on February 13, 2019. The Panel has also informed the Company that Nasdaq will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC, after the applicable appeals periods have lapsed.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council may, on its own motion, determine to review any Panel decision within 45 calendar days after the issuance of such decision. However, an appeal or review of the Panel’s decision would not stay the suspension of trading in the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The Company’s shares are eligible to trade “over-the-counter” in the OTC Markets system effective as of the open of business on February 13, 2019, under the current symbol “HMNY.”

 

On August 25, 2018, Carl J. Schramm resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company and each committee of the Board of Directors which he was a member, including the Audit Committee. As a result, the Company was no longer compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires that a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company be independent, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee have at least three independent directors.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, on August 27, 2018, the Company notified Nasdaq of Mr. Schramm’s resignation and non-compliance with the above Nasdaq Listing Rules. Nasdaq responded on September 6, 2018 with a notification letter confirming the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth above.

 

On December 31, 2018, Joseph J. Fried was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors effective December 27, 2018. Following such appointment and the appointment of Mr. Fried to the Audit Committee by the Company’s Board of Directors, a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors is again composed of independent directors and the Audit Committee has at least three independent directors. As a result, Nasdaq notified the Company in a letter dated January 8, 2019 that the Staff has determined that the Company is now in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), and that the matters described in the letter sent by Nasdaq on September 6, 2018 are now closed.

MoviePass Films Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

 

On February 1, 2019, the Company and EFO entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of MoviePass Films (the “Amended LLC Agreement”).

The Amended LLC Agreement also further documents the contribution by EFO to MoviePass Films of certain conditional rights in film acquisition agreements to which EFO is a party, as specified in the Amended LLC Agreement. The Amended LLC Agreement also further documents the Company’s prior capital contributions to MoviePass Films totaling $7.44 million in cash as of February 1, 2019.

 

Under the Amended LLC Agreement, MoviePass Films will be managed by a board of managers consisting of five managers, of which the Company has the right to appoint three managers and EFO has the right to appoint two managers. Two of the three managers appointed by the Company will be required to meet the independence requirements of Nasdaq and will be compensated for their respective services in the amount of $2,500 per month each. The initial managers appointed by the Company are Theodore Farnsworth, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and independent managers Joseph Fried and Gavriel Ralbag, who are also independent directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Amended LLC Agreement, the board of managers of MoviePass Films has formed a compensation committee comprised of two managers, one of whom shall be one of the Company’s independent managers and one of whom shall be one of the two managers appointed by EFO (the “MoviePass Films Compensation Committee”). The initial members of the MoviePass Films Compensation Committee of the Board are Joseph Fried and George Furla.

 

The Company has the right to designate the Chief Financial Officer of MoviePass Films. Accordingly, the Amended LLC Agreement provides that Stuart Benson, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, shall serve as the initial Chief Financial Officer of MoviePass Films.

Cash available for distribution from operations or upon sale or liquidation of MoviePass Films will be allocated as follows:  first , to establish a cash reserve in an amount to be determined by the board of managers (or, in the case of the distribution upon sale or liquidation, to retire any outstanding debts or obligations of MoviePass Films);  second , to the Company, until the Company has recouped 110% of its total capital contribution;  third , to EFO, until EFO has recouped 110% of its total capital contribution;  fourth , to any members other than the Company and EFO, pro rata, until such members’ respective unrecovered capital contributions have been reduced to zero; and  fifth , to all members, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in MoviePass Films.

On March 13, 2019, Stuart Benson notified the Chief Executive Officer of the Company of his decision to resign as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and from each position he holds with each of the Company’s subsidiaries, effective March 22, 2019, in order to accept another employment opportunity.

  the risk that the conditions to the completion of the creation of MoviePass Entertainment are not satisfied, including the inability of MoviePass Entertainment to complete the necessary audited financial statements and to file and have its registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC, and the risk that the Company may not have the required surplus or cash flow solvency under Delaware law to effect a distribution of shares of MoviePass Entertainment to the Company’s securities holders;

 

  whether the Company will continue to receive the services of certain officers and directors;

 

  the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property and operate its business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others;

Business Overview

 

We provide high quality information technology, or IT, services and solutions including a range of technology platforms focusing on big data, business intelligence, and consumer-centric technology. More recently, to provide greater value to stockholders, the Company has sought to expand its business primarily through acquisitions that leverage its capabilities and expertise.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned, and as of the date of this report the Company owns, 91.8% of the outstanding shares of MoviePass (excluding outstanding MoviePass options and warrants), 100% of the outstanding membership interests in MoviePass Ventures and 51% of the outstanding membership interests in MoviePass films. MoviePass is the premiere movie theater subscription service in the United States that allows its subscribers to see up to three movies a month, from a schedule of select movies, in theaters nationwide, for a low fixed price and additional movies at a discounted price. 

 

In March 2018, MoviePass Ventures acquired a stake in the now award-winning film American Animals by Bart Layton.  In April 2018, MoviePass Ventures acquired a stake in the movie Gotti .  The Company believes that by utilizing the MoviePass subscriber base to drive a positive impact at the box office, MoviePass Ventures can then leverage the higher box office to obtain additional downstream revenues, such as international distribution rights, streaming rights, DVD rights, transactional rights (iTunes), on demand and foreign movie rights.

 

MoviePass Films is dedicated to supporting independent filmmakers and distributors by collaborating with creators and acquiring stakes in films. MoviePass Films has already acquired stakes in several films, including 10 Minutes Gone in August 2018, Monsters and Men and Border in September 2018, and In Search of Greatness in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company believes that the MoviePass marketing ability and MoviePass subscription base will help contribute to the success and revenue generation of these films.

 

During the third quarter of 2018, MoviePass made changes to the business strategy in order to reduce cash burn, lower total expenses and move towards profitability. As a result, MoviePass incurred a loss of subscribers resulting primarily from the change in service offerings during the third quarter.  MoviePass deemed it more appropriate to assess goodwill impairment of the MoviePass reporting unit as of September 30, 2018. In conjunction with the events occurring in the third quarter of 2018, the Company updated its long-term business plan, which was used as the basis for estimating the future cash flows of its reporting units. That plan considered then current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results, the Company’s views of growth rates and then-anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions.

 

58

 

 

MoviePass has implemented several elements of a long-term growth plan which the Company believes will reduce the monthly cash deficit and improve profitability. In April 2018, MoviePass implemented certain measures to promote the fair use of the MoviePass subscription product. These measures included a technological enhancement which prevents MoviePass subscribers from sharing their accounts with non-subscribers and allowing subscribers to see a movie title only once per subscriber using the MoviePass subscription. From July 2018 through August 2018, MoviePass implemented several cost-reduction measures including changing its monthly subscription plan to the current three-movies-per-month plan, at a price of $9.95 per month. In August 2018, MoviePass Inc. began to convert subscribers on an annual subscription plan to the three-movies-per-month subscription plan, by giving annual subscribers the option to either cancel or refund their annual subscription or continue on the new three-movies-per-month subscription plan.

 

The Company believes that MoviePass’s move to a curated programming model, which limited title selection on a daily basis, reduced its cash burn significantly from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018. The Company believes that the curated programming model also enhanced its ability to increase non-subscription revenue. The Company believes this is in large measure due to the expectation that distributors of independent films are willing to spend money to market their films as a result of the efficacy this strategy had on driving attendance to their films.

 

Since moving to this curated programming model, MoviePass has spent a higher percentage of its weekly allocated spend on promoted titles (over non-promoted titles), including independent films for which it has marketing agreements. This shift in the programming model has helped move MoviePass towards a new business model.

 

On October 23, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors preliminarily approved a plan to create a new subsidiary named MoviePass Entertainment Holdings Inc. (“MoviePass Entertainment”) that would take ownership of the shares of MoviePass and other film related assets held by the Company. If permitted under Delaware law and subject to other conditions, the Company plans to distribute a minority of the outstanding shares of MoviePass Entertainment common stock as a dividend to stockholders of the Company as of a record date that is yet to be determined, with the Company retaining control of MoviePass Entertainment upon any such distribution.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $74.7 million as compared to revenues of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the revenues of MoviePass which were offset by a decrease in consulting revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Gross (Loss) / Profit. The resulting gross loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $34.9 million as compared to a gross profit of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to operating expenses of MoviePass.

 

Operating Expenses. Non-research and development operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $19.5 million as compared to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of MoviePass, the Moviefone Assets and the forming of MoviePass Ventures and MoviePass Films.

 

Impairment of MoviePass Goodwill. Impairment of goodwill expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $38.5 million relates to a portion of the MoviePass reporting unit as a result of reduced financial projections for the MoviePass reporting unit, due to, among other things, lower than expected actual financial results from this business due to a lower number of subscribers resulting from changes in the MoviePass service offering, described above, which resulted in diminished financial performance relative to its original expectations.

 

Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $0.09 million as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Research and development expenses relate to the development of the RedZone Map app.

 

Taxes. The Company had income tax provision of $10,283 and compared to an income tax benefit of $2,747 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Tax for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was comprised of minimum state taxes and a provision reconciliation of an over estimate of the tax accrual for the Company’s Indian subsidiary’s audit.

 

Other Income/(Expense). In order to both fund its operations, including the development of the RedZone Map app, to obtain the funds necessary to purchase additional shares in MoviePass, and to fund the operations of MoviePass, the Company issued and sold to several investors Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in September 2016, December 2016, February 2017, August 2017, November 2017, January 2018, and June 2018 having a total principal amount of approximately $352.5 million. As a result of these securities offerings, during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred (i) a loss of approximately $3.5 million resulting from the change in market value of derivative and warrant liabilities, (ii) interest expense of approximately $95.6 million, (iii) a gain on the extinguishment of indebtedness of approximately $45.5 million and (iv) interest income of approximately $0.004 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred (i) a loss of approximately $28.2 million resulting from the change in market value of derivative and warrant liabilities, (ii) interest expense of approximately $11.6 million, and (iii) interest income of approximately $0.014 million.

 

Net Loss. The Company had a net loss attributable to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. of approximately $138.5 million or $0.22 loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to a net loss attributable to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. of approximately $43.5 million or $5.79 loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in the Company’s net loss is primarily due to the acquisitions of MoviePass, the Moviefone Assets and the forming of MoviePass Ventures and MoviePass Films, including the associated financing costs incurred with the issuance of our senior convertible notes, offset by a gain on the extinguishment of debt.

 

61

 

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $198.3 million as compared to revenues of approximately $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the revenues of MoviePass which were partially offset by a decrease in consulting revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 

 

Gross (Loss) / Profit. The resulting gross loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $226.1 million as compared to a gross profit of approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to operating expenses of MoviePass.

 

Operating Expenses. Non-research and development operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $62.4 million as compared to approximately $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of MoviePass, the Moviefone Assets and the forming of MoviePass Ventures and MoviePass Films.

 

Impairment of MoviePass Goodwill. Impairment of goodwill expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $38.5 million relates to a portion of the MoviePass reporting unit as a result of reduced financial projections for the MoviePass reporting unit, due to, among other things, lower than expected actual financial results from this business due to a lower number of subscribers resulting from changes in the MoviePass service offering, described above, which resulted in diminished financial performance relative to its original expectations.

 

Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $0.5 million as compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Research and development expenses relate to the development of the RedZone Map app.

 

Taxes. The Company had income tax provision of $46,953 and $39,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was comprised of minimum state taxes and a provision reconciliation of an over estimate of the tax accrual for the Company’s India subsidiary’s audit.

 

Other Income/(Expense). In order to both fund its operations, including the development of the RedZone Map app, to obtain the funds necessary to purchase additional shares in MoviePass, and to fund the operations of MoviePass the Company issued and sold to several investors Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in September 2016, December 2016, February 2017, August 2017, November 2017, January 2018, and June 2018 having a total principal amount of approximately $352.5 million. As a result of these securities offerings, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred (i) a gain of approximately $199.5 million resulting from the change in market value of derivative and warrant liabilities, (ii) interest expense of approximately $189.3 million, (iii) a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $60.5 million, (iv) a gain on the exchange of warrants of approximately $0.3 million and (iv) interest income of approximately $0.03 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred (i) a loss of approximately $27.5 million resulting from the change in market value of derivative and warrant liabilities, (ii) interest expense of approximately $16.9 million, and (iii) interest income of approximately $0.05 million.

 

Net Loss. The Company had a net loss attributable to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. of approximately $196.7 million or $0.91 loss per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to a net loss attributable to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. of approximately $55.2 million or $8.35 loss per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in the Company’s net loss is primarily due to the acquisitions of MoviePass, the Moviefone Assets and the forming of MoviePass Ventures and MoviePass Films, including the associated financing costs incurred with the issuance of our senior convertible notes, offset by favorable adjustments to the Company’s derivative liabilities, and a gain on the extinguishment of debt.

Future Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, proceeds from subscription revenues, proceeds from our equity offerings and prepayments of investor notes payable to us that we received as partial payment for our outstanding convertible notes. As of September 30, 2018, we had cash on hand of $4.9 million and approximately $30.7 million in accounts receivable mostly related to reserve funds held by our merchant processors related to subscription revenues. In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we issued common stock and warrant units and received proceeds of approximately $244.0 million, net of associated expenses. We filed with the SEC, and the SEC declared effective, a universal shelf registration statement of up to $400 million worth of registered equity securities, of which we utilized approximately $135 million in offerings in February and April of 2018, and approximately $125 million in the ATM Offering. Under this effective registration statement, we may issue registered securities, from time to time, in one or more separate offerings or other transactions with the size, price and terms to be determined at the time of issuance. In April 2018, we entered into the Sales Agreement with Canaccord pursuant to which we could issue and sell from time to time shares of common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $150.0 million through the ATM Offering under which Canaccord acted as our sales agent. We paid Canaccord a commission of 4% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately 627,933,083 shares in the ATM Offering, received $68.3 million net proceeds and paid Canaccord $2.8 million. The Sales Agreement was terminated on October 1, 2018, and as a result, no further sales of shares of common stock can be sold in the ATM Offering. On July 2, 2018, our second universal shelf registration was declared effective under which we may offer for sale up to $1.2 billion of equity securities or debt securities.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received gross cash proceeds of approximately $33.9 million with respect to prepayments under the November 2017 Investor Notes and issued 705.8 million (23,362 million pre-split) shares with respect to the conversion of the November 2017 Notes, including shares related to the make-whole interest provisions of those notes. From September 30, 2018 through November 14, 2018, we received gross cash proceeds of approximately $4.1 million with respect to prepayments under the November 2017 and January 2018 Investor Notes and issued an additional 233.1 million shares with respect to the conversion of the November 2017 Notes and January 2018 Notes. We used the proceeds from the prepayments of such investor notes to redeem approximately $24,600,000 of the unrestricted principal of our June 2018 Convertible Notes. As a result of such redemptions, as of November 13, 2018, there was approximately $0 million of unrestricted principal (including make-whole interest) outstanding under the June 2018 Convertible Notes. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the October Exchange Agreement and the netting of the other June 2018 Investor Notes by the other holders of the June 2018 Investor Notes against their corresponding June 2018 Convertible Notes, all the June 2018 Convertible Notes have been cancelled.

 

We will continue to require significant proceeds from sales of our debt or equity securities, including conversions of unrestricted principal and make-whole interest under our outstanding convertible notes following payments by investors under investor notes payable to us, each of which will continue to have a significant dilutive effect on our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned growth or otherwise further alter our business model, objectives and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. As of November 13, 2018, there remained $41.9 in restricted principal for which a corresponding amount of principal under the investor notes remains to be paid to the Company by the holders of those convertible notes.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $33.7 million in deferred revenue related to subscriptions of its MoviePass service. Deferred revenue represents funds received for monthly, quarterly, semi- annual and annual subscriptions plus amounts associated with gift card purchases. MoviePass has experienced service costs over and above subscription revenue in the fulfillment of subscription services mainly for ticketing and related service fees. Included in the deferred revenue balance is approximately $2.8 million of funds resulting from the acquisition of MoviePass and allocated to service future ticket fulfillment associated with deferred revenue on the acquisition date.

The Company maintains relationships with several payment processing vendors. Our primary merchant processor maintains a reserve fund of a portion of the payments received for annual and other extended term subscription plans. As of September 30, 2018, the amount on deposit with our merchant processor was approximately $25.6 million. This amount is classified as accounts receivable on our balance sheet and is expected to be disbursed to the Company during the course of 2018. The Company intends to use these funds for ticket fulfillment and other general operating costs.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has received $39.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, from complex convertible notes containing derivative features associated with conversion rights and stock purchase warrants. In addition, the convertible notes provided for interest to be paid on borrowed and or committed funds as the case may be, generally for minimum periods even when such funds are not outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recognized derivative gain of $5.5 million associated with these securities which in many cases are valued based on the underlying equity securities required to satisfy such derivative features upon exercise or conversion. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company has recognized non-cash interest expense of $173.0 million and $16.9 million, respectively, associated with these convertible notes and committed funds which have predominantly been settled through the issuance of shares of the Company’s stock. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $17.5 million, in cash paid for interest associated with outstanding notes and committed funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

At September 30, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding of unrestricted principal of convertible notes with respect to convertible notes payable and derivative liability balances.

 

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over periods presented in this report. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $386,186,649, a loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $93,052,113 and $327,422,965, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $322,692,755.

 

If the Company is unable to make required payments to its merchant and fulfillment processors, the merchant and fulfillment processors may cease processing payments for MoviePass, which would cause a MoviePass service interruption. Such a service interruption occurred on July 26, 2018. Any future service interruptions could have a further material adverse effect on MoviePass’ ability to retain its subscribers. This would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the Company’s growth and operating activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While management plans to raise additional capital from sources such as sales of the Company’s debt or equity securities or loans in order to meet operating cash requirements, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful.

 

The Company also has goodwill of approximately $40.6 million, related to the acquisition of MoviePass in December 2017 and $8.5 million related to the acquisition of Moviefone in April 2018, which is included in the Subscription and Marketing, Promotional Services, and Films operating segment, which may be susceptible to impairment as a result of changes in various factors or conditions. Other identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships, technology and tradenames and trademarks, aggregating to approximately $30.1 million, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company assesses the potential impairment of goodwill and our finite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2018, the Company evaluated whether any triggering events for goodwill, as defined in ASC 350-35-3C, were deemed to be more likely than not and determined that as of September 30, 2018 they were.

 

65

 

 

During the third quarter of 2018, due to a significant decline in its MoviePass subscribers resulting primarily from changes made to our service offerings substantially during the third quarter, the Company deemed it more appropriate to assess goodwill impairment of the MoviePass reporting unit as of September 30, 2018. In conjunction with the events occurring in the third quarter of 2018, the Company updated its long-term business plan, which was used as the basis for estimating the future cash flows of its reporting units. That plan considered then current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results, the Company’s views of growth rates and then-anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions.

 

The Company determined that the fair value of the MoviePass reporting unit was below its carrying value. Therefore, the Company conducted step two of the impairment test for the MoviePass reporting unit and determined the carrying value of goodwill in the MoviePass reporting unit exceeded its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $38.5 million. This was as a result of reduced financial projections for the MoviePass reporting unit, due to, among other things, lower than expected actual financial results from this business due to a lower number of subscribers resulting from changes in the MoviePass service offering, which resulted in diminished financial performance relative to its original expectations. Given the foregoing, the Company determined there was greater uncertainty in achieving its prior financial projections and so applied a slightly higher discount rate for purposes of its goodwill impairment analysis. Additionally, modifications of certain cashflow assumptions to reflect the current economic conditions as well as market participant levels were made. These assumptions along with a higher discount rate negatively affected the fair value of the MoviePass reporting unit.

 

The Company expects to continue to be required to raise capital to support these initiatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all. Future adverse changes in these or other unforeseeable factors could result in an impairment charge that would impact our results of operations and financial position in the reporting period identified.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to all timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of the material weakness identified by management at year end December 31, 2017, and as disclosed in our Form 10-K, that we are still in the process of remediating.

 

In connection with the restatement, management has determined that a material weakness relating to subscription management existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018. Effective January 1, 2019 the Company has implemented a new software solution to automate and provide real-time information for managing and accounting for subscriptions, including, without limitation, those subscriptions that are terminated or in a suspended state.

  

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

The MoviePass Inc. acquisition on December 11, 2017 and the post-acquisition integration related activities 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.

 

During the quarter covered by this report, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 4, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against the Company, Theodore Farnsworth, Stuart Benson, and Mitchell Lowe (the “ Consolidated Complaint ”). The Consolidated Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company’s statements to the market were materially false or misleading because the Company allegedly represented that it would continue to experience substantial growth, and that its business model was sustainable. The plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. On February 25, 2019, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint with prejudice.

 

On September 20, 2018, Yu Chen, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, derivatively on behalf of the Company against Theodore Farnsworth, Stuart Benson, Muralikrishna Gadiyaram, Prathap Singh, Gavriel Ralbag, and Carl Schramm, and the Company as a nominal defendant (Index No. 654686/2018). The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against the individual defendants.

On January 14, 2019, David J. Lichter, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York derivatively on behalf of the Company against the same defendants as in the Chen case (with the exception of Mr. Schramm) for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and abuse of control (Index No. 650275/2019). It is anticipated that the Lichter case will become part of the referenced stipulation regarding a stay, but that has not been formally agreed to as of the date hereof.

 

On February 23, 2018, MoviePass filed a patent infringement complaint against Sinemia, Inc. in United States District Court, Central District of California.

A case management conference is scheduled for March 18, 2019.

 

On November 21, 2018, Jackie Tabas and Katherine Rosenberg-Wohl, acting on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against MoviePass, the Company and three of their executive officers, Theodore Farnsworth, Stuart Benson and J. Mitchell Lowe (the “November 21, 2018 Complaint”). Jackie Tabas and Katherine Rosenberg-Wohl v. MoviePass Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:18-cv-7087. The November 21, 2018 Complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract by MoviePass, failure to disclose certain terms of service under Section 17602 of the California Business and Professions Code, and violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the California False Advertising Law, the California Unfair Competition Law and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The November 21, 2018 Complaint also alleges claims of quantum meruit and unjust enrichment and inducement to breach contracts.

 

Plaintiffs amended the November 21, 2018 Complaint on February 15, 2019 (the “First Amended Complaint”), dropping the claims of Plaintiff Rosenberg-Wohl following an individual settlement, and asserting the same claims made by Plaintiff Tabas in the November 21, 2018 Complaint on behalf of five new Plaintiffs: Linda Hobbs, Tim Samartino, Barbara Sjodahl, Patricia Dawn Walker, and Cheryl Whelan. Pursuant to an agreement between the parties tolling the running of the statutes of limitation on Plaintiffs’ claims, Plaintiffs also dropped the claims that had been previously asserted against Messrs. Farnsworth, Benson and Lowe. On March 8, 2019, MoviePass and the Company moved to compel arbitration of all the claims asserted in the First Amended Complaint on an individual basis. That motion is currently being briefed by the parties, and all further proceedings have been stayed while the motion is pending.

 

On February 1, 2019, Lawrence Weinberger and his wife, Laurie Weinberger, acting on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against MoviePass (the “February 1, 2019 Complaint”). Lawrence Weinberger and Laurie Weinberger v. MoviePass Inc., Case No. 1:19-cv-01039. The February 1, 2019 Complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract and of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by MoviePass, and violations of Sections 349(b) and 350 of the New York General Business Law, prohibiting deceptive and misleading conduct and false advertising in consumer transactions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors  

 

Our cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund our operations for the near future and we may not be able to obtain additional financing.

 

As of November 12, 2018, we had approximately $6.2 million in available cash and approximately $23.3 million on deposit with our merchant processors for a total of approximately $29.5 million. The funds held by these processors represent a portion of the payments received for annual and other extended term MoviePass subscription plans and future ticket fulfillment, which we classify as current assets on our balance sheet and which we expect to be disbursed to us or utilized during 2018. Historically, our monthly cash deficit has been significant, and as we continue to fund MoviePass’ operations, and increase our investments in movies through MoviePass Ventures and MoviePass Films, and make other acquisitions, our monthly cash deficit will continue to increase in the coming months.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund our operations for the near future and we may not be able to obtain additional financing. We will continue to require significant proceeds from sales of our debt or equity securities, However, we no longer have access to funds from the sale of shares of common stock in the ATM Offering and we will need to seek other sources of capital, of which there can be no assurance. Furthermore, to the extent we use any net proceeds from sales of our securities for acquisitions of other businesses or financial interests in additional movies (through our subsidiaries, MoviePass Ventures or MoviePass Films), we will need additional capital to offset our monthly cash deficit to the extent resulting from those further investments.

 

We will continue to require significant proceeds from sales of our debt or equity securities, including conversions of unrestricted principal and make-whole interest under our outstanding convertible notes following payments by investors under investor notes payable to us, each of which will continue to have a significant dilutive effect on our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned growth or otherwise further alter our business model, objectives and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

A failure to make required payments to our merchant and fulfillment processors, could result in a MoviePass service interruption, which could cause a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

If we are unable to make required payments to our merchant and fulfillment processors, the merchant and fulfillment processors may cease processing payments for MoviePass, which would cause a MoviePass service interruption. Such a service interruption occurred on July 26, 2018. Any future service interruptions could have a further material adverse effect on MoviePass’ ability to retain its subscribers. This would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Our common stock may be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On June 21, 2018, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that, for the prior thirty consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have been given 180 calendar days, or until December 18, 2018 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If we are not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by December 18, 2018, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, we would be required to notify Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, which may include, if necessary, implementing a reverse stock split.

 

To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, effective July 23, 2018, we effected the Reverse Stock Split of our common stock at a ratio of 1 share-for-250 shares. However, since the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the per share market price of our common stock has fallen below $1.00 and as of November 14, 2018, the closing price was $0.017. As a result, we are not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement Further, the Special Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on November 14, 2018 to provide stockholders with an opportunity to vote on the proposed reverse stock split in a ratio of 1 share-for-2 shares up to a ratio of 1 share-for-500 shares has been cancelled. The Company was presenting the reverse stock split proposal in an effort to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Since the Company will not be able to effect a reverse stock split ten business days prior to December 18, 2018, absent an extension by The Nasdaq Capital Market (of which there can be no assurance) the Company believes that our common stock will be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market, which would adversely impact the liquidity and marketability of our common stock.

 

If we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by December 18, 2018 and we are not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the Staff will provide written notification to us that our common stock may be delisted. At that time, we may appeal the Staff’s decision to the Panel. We would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal a subsequent delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, that such an appeal would be successful.

 

On August 25, 2018, Carl J. Schramm resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company and each committee of the Board of Directors which he was a member, including the Audit Committee. As a result, the Company is no longer compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires that a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company be independent, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee have at least three independent directors.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, on August 27, 2018, the Company notified Nasdaq of Mr. Schramm’s resignation and non-compliance with the above Nasdaq Listing Rules. Nasdaq responded on September 6, 2018 with a notification letter confirming the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth above. Nasdaq advised that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), the Company will have until the following to cure the deficiencies caused by Mr. Schramm’s departure:

 

  until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or August 25, 2019; or
     
  if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before February 21, 2019, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than February 21, 2019.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company intends to appoint a new independent director who satisfies the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee prior to the expiration of the cure period, but no assurances can be given that the Company will appoint a new independent director who satisfies the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee prior to the expiration of the cure period.

 

If we are not able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or appoint a new independent director who satisfies the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee prior to the expiration of the cure period, our common stock could be traded on the over the counter market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. In such event, it would become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely be a reduction in our coverage by security analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Additionally, the sale or purchase of our common stock would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our common stock would likely decline. A delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market would also result in negative publicly and would negatively impact our ability to raise capital in the future.

The sale of a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market, and the issuance of shares reserved for consultants and the future conversion of convertible instruments, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 

As of November 9, 2018, we had 1,612,561,916 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and the closing sale price of our common stock on November 14, 2018 was $0.017.

 

The issuances of convertible notes in December 2016 and the February 2017 Notes, the August 2017 Notes, the November 2017 Notes, the January 2018 Notes and the June 2018 Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) and the subsequent transactions, resulted in a high volume of activity for our securities. We may engage in similar transactions, which transactions may include registration rights. The issuance of such additional securities and the potential for high volume trades of our common stock in connection with these financings may continue to have a downward effect on our market price. In addition, in connection with the Notes, we issued five-year warrants to a financial advisor, of which 6,381 (1,595,250 pre-split) are currently exercisable, and warrants in public offerings, of which 61,087 (16,117,000 pre-split) are currently exercisable. Future issuance of our common stock upon exercise of these warrants may have a further negative impact on our stock price.

 

Further, as of November 14, 2018, as a result of the issuance of the November 2017 Notes and, the January 2018 Notes, 2.8billion shares of our common stock may be issuable upon conversion of such outstanding debt. Further, this number of shares may increase significantly if there are further conversion price reductions resulting from the full ratchet conversion price adjustment provisions of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, which provide that if we issue securities in certain transactions at a price lower than the applicable conversion price of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, then the applicable conversion price of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, will be reduced to equal such lower price, resulting in additional shares issuable upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes. As of November 14, 2018, the Company owes approximately $262,471 of make-whole interest under the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes. As such, all the shares noted above represent shares issuable upon conversion of restricted principal under such convertible debt for which an equivalent amount owed to us under the corresponding investor notes has not yet been paid. Such restricted principal may not, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, be converted into any shares of our common stock. However, if holders of these convertible Notes provide additional payments to us under the corresponding investor notes, an amount equal to such payment will become unrestricted principal under these convertible notes that may be converted to our common stock at the election of the holders of these Notes.

 

The issuance of shares we are obligated to issue and the issuance of shares we may issue in connection with conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible instruments may result in a higher volume trading of our securities, which may increase dilution of existing investors and further depress the market price of our common stock, which may negatively affect our stockholders’ equity and our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us in the future.

 

Impairment of our intangible assets could result in significant charges that would adversely impact our future operating results.

 

The Company has goodwill of approximately $40.6 million, related to the acquisition of MoviePass in December 2017 and $8.5 million related to the acquisition of Moviefone in April 2018, which is included in the Subscription and Marketing, Promotional Services, and Films operating segment, which may be susceptible to impairment as a result of changes in various factors or conditions. Other identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships, technology and tradenames and trademarks, aggregating to approximately $30.1 million, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company assesses the potential impairment of goodwill and our finite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2018, the Company evaluated whether any triggering events for goodwill, as defined in ASC 350-35-3C, were deemed to be more likely than not and determined that as of September 30, 2018 they were.

 

During the third quarter of 2018, due to a significant decline in its MoviePass subscribers resulting primarily from changes made to our service offerings substantially during the third quarter, the Company deemed it more appropriate to assess goodwill impairment of the MoviePass reporting unit as of September 30, 2018. In conjunction with the events occurring in the third quarter of 2018, the Company updated its long-term business plan, which was used as the basis for estimating the future cash flows of its reporting units. That plan considered then current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results, the Company’s views of growth rates and then-anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions.

 

71

 

 

The Company determined that the fair value of the MoviePass reporting unit was below its carrying value. Therefore, the Company conducted step two of the impairment test for the MoviePass reporting unit and determined the carrying value of goodwill in the MoviePass reporting unit exceeded its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $38.5 million. This was as a result of reduced financial projections for the MoviePass reporting unit, due to, among other things, lower than expected actual financial results from this business due to a lower number of subscribers resulting from changes in the MoviePass service offering, which resulted in diminished financial performance relative to its original expectations. Given the foregoing, the Company determined there was greater uncertainty in achieving its prior financial projections and so applied a slightly higher discount rate for purposes of its goodwill impairment analysis. Additionally, modifications of certain cashflow assumptions to reflect the current economic conditions as well as market participant levels were made. These assumptions along with a higher discount rate negatively affected the fair value of the MoviePass reporting unit.

 

The Company has implemented several changes to the services offered under the MoviePass subscription plans with the goal of reducing the costs associated with providing the related services. The Company expects to continue raise capital to support these initiatives. Future adverse changes in these or other unforeseeable factors could result in an impairment charge that would impact our results of operations and financial position in the reporting period identified.

   

We could be subject to liability, penalties and other restrictive sanctions and adverse consequences arising out of certain private proceedings and governmental matters.

 

We are, and in the future may become, subject to various lawsuits and legal proceedings. For example, we are a named defendant in several lawsuits described under “Legal Proceedings.” In addition, we have received requests for information from regulators and governmental authorities. We cannot predict the outcome or impact of any ongoing matters.

 

There can be no assurance that additional lawsuits or legal proceedings by a regulator or governmental authority will not be filed against us. There also can be no assurance that any such lawsuits or proceedings will not have a disruptive impact upon the operation of our business, and that the defense of such lawsuits or proceedings will not consume the time and attention of our senior management and financial resources or that the resolution of any such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, should the government decide to pursue an enforcement action, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  

Due to recent changes to our subscription plans, the number of our subscribers has decreased, and we may continue to lose subscribers or fail to attract new subscribers.  

 

In an effort to reduce our monthly deficit and improve profitability, we recently changed our monthly subscription plan to the current three-movies-per-month plan, at a price of $9.95 per month and limited the available movies to those listed on a schedule. In August 2018, we began to convert subscribers on an annual subscription plan to the three-movies-per-month subscription plan, by giving annual subscribers the option to either cancel or refund their annual subscription or continue on the new three-movies-per-month subscription plan. As a result of these changes, we have experienced subscriber losses. We may continue to lose subscribers, or fail to attract new subscribers, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Future changes to our subscription plan may not be favorably received by customers and we may not be able to attract or retain subscribers, and as a result, our revenue and results of operations may be affected adversely. The number of recent changes to our subscription plans may also make competitors’ subscription plans more attractive to customers, and we may be unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors.

 

72

 

 

We are at risk of attempts at unauthorized or improper use of our services, and failure to effectively prevent and remediate such attempts could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our terms of use prohibit subscribers from sharing their accounts with non-subscribers or reselling tickets purchased through their account to non-subscribers. We have in the past been, and continue to be, impacted by attempts by subscribers and other persons to violate our terms of use by sharing accounts with non-subscribers or reselling tickets to non-subscribers. We have implemented certain measures to promote the fair use of our MoviePass subscription product, including a technological enhancement allowing subscribers to log in on only one mobile device, a policy allowing subscribers to see a movie title only once per subscriber and new ticket verification software, which have reduced suspected abuse. Despite these measures, we cannot guarantee that such unauthorized sharing of accounts or reselling of tickets or other violations of our terms of use will not occur or that these measures will continue to reduce or eliminate suspected abuse. If in the future we fail to successfully prevent subscribers from sharing their accounts with non-subscribers or reselling tickets purchased through their account to non-subscribers, we may incur losses as a result and may not achieve profitability.

  

Our success depends on our ability to maintain the value of our brand. As a result of changes to our subscription plan, there has been some damage to our brand, and if future events further damage our brand, our business and financial results may be harmed.

 

Our success depends on our ability to maintain the value of our brand. As a result of recent changes to our subscription plan, there has been adverse press and complaints from users about MoviePass, which has resulted in damage to the MoviePass brand. This harm to the MoviePass brand has resulted in a loss of existing subscribers and a slower growth of new subscribers, which has had an adverse effect on our revenues. Improving, promoting and positioning the MoviePass brand will depend largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide consistent, high quality products and services through our applications. The MoviePass brand could be further harmed if we fail to achieve these objectives or if our public image or brand were to be tarnished by additional negative publicity. Our reputation and brand may also be harmed if we fail to maintain a consistently high level of customer service. Executing the strategies necessary to maintain the value of our brand may require us to make substantial investments, and these investments may not be successful. Such failures may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

We depend on motion picture production and performance and may be susceptible to fluctuations in motion picture production and performance.

 

Our success depends in part on the performance of the motion picture production industry. Although our monthly subscription model stabilizes and reduces exposure to short-term volatility, our business may still be affected by fluctuations in the performance of the motion picture production industry. Additionally, our business may be affected by a shortage of motion picture programming attractive to our subscribers, though we do not anticipate such a shortage. Further, the diversity and stability of our subscribers reduces exposure to the effect of any shortage of motion picture programming.

 

An increase in the use of alternative film delivery methods or other forms of entertainment may drive down subscribers and moviegoer attendance.

 

The movie industry faces continuing disruption resulting from the proliferation of alternative film delivery methods. The availability and increased use of alternative film delivery methods, such as online movie streaming services, or other forms of entertainment may drive down moviegoer attendance and subscribers to the MoviePass service, which may affect our business.

 

Increased regulatory scrutiny, in particular, related to privacy and security issues may negatively impact our business.

 

Although we are not aware of any current or proposed federal, state or local laws or regulations that would have a material detrimental effect on us, there may be increased legal and regulatory scrutiny on our data sources, technologies to process data and other aspects of the MoviePass service. The increased legal and regulatory scrutiny may require us to make modifications or improvements to the current technologies we use or may otherwise increase our compliance costs, which may adversely affect our business.

 

In particular, the regulatory framework for privacy and security issues is evolving worldwide and is likely to remain in flux for the foreseeable future. Various government and consumer agencies have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. Practices regarding the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal and other information by companies offering online or mobile services is under increased public scrutiny. Our business, including our ability to operate and expand in the United States and internationally or on new technology platforms, could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are adopted, interpreted or implemented in a manner that is inconsistent with our current business practices and that require changes to these practices, the design of our website, mobile applications, products, features or our privacy policy. In particular, the success of our business will be driven by our ability to responsibly use the data that we collect from our users, key suppliers and other sources. Therefore, our business could be harmed by any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry standards or practices regarding the storage, use or disclosure of data we collect, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of relevant persons for such use and disclosure is obtained. Such changes may require us to modify our products and features, possibly in a material manner, and may limit our ability to develop new products and features that make use of the data that we collect.

 

73

 

 

We could be subject to consumer protection claims, lawsuits and other proceedings that may result in adverse outcomes.

 

Although we are committed to providing MoviePass’s services as high in quality as we are capable while striving to comply with applicable consumer protection laws and regulations, there is no assurance that we will not be the subject of claims, lawsuits or other proceedings arising from our technologies, products or services, especially if any new laws or regulations are promulgated which may greatly increase the risk of litigation by users or third parties. In particular, in the ordinary course of business, we have received notices from state consumer protection bureaus of individual complaints filed against us by subscribers and may continue to receive such complaints, particularly as we make changes to our subscription plans. We are also subject to investigations or inquiries from state or federal consumer protection agencies and face regulatory scrutiny with respect to consumer protection issues.

 

Responding to investigations or litigation are costly and could divert us from focusing on our business operations.  If any investigation or litigation results in an adverse outcome, it could negatively impact our public image and brand and have a detrimental effect on our financial position and operating results.

Item 5. Other Information

 

On October 23, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors preliminarily approved a plan to create a new subsidiary named MoviePass Entertainment Holdings Inc. (“MoviePass Entertainment”) that would take ownership of the shares of MoviePass and other film related assets held by the Company. If permitted under Delaware law and subject to other conditions, the Company plans to distribute a minority of the outstanding shares of MoviePass Entertainment common stock as a dividend to stockholders of the Company as of a record date that is yet to be determined, with the Company retaining control of MoviePass Entertainment upon any such distribution.

  

On October 24, 2018, Christopher Kelly and Maria Stipp advised MoviePass of their resignations from the board of directors of MoviePass. Prior to his resignation, Mr. Kelly was Chairman of the board of directors of MoviePass. Mr. Kelly had served as a member of the board of directors of MoviePass since June 24, 2014, and as Chairman of the board of directors of MoviePass since June 24, 2014. Ms. Stipp had served as a member of the board of directors of MoviePass since January 2018. Both Mr. Kelly and Ms. Stipp expressed their belief that they had not received sufficient access to information regarding the Company’s preliminary approval of a plan to create MoviePass Entertainment and potential distribution of MoviePass Entertainment common stock to the Company’s stockholders.

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that it intends to hold the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”) on December 27, 2018, at a time and location to be specified in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting.

 

Because the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Exchange Act, stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must ensure that their proposal is received by the Secretary of the Company at Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc., Empire State Building, 350 5th Avenue, Suite 7520, New York, NY 10118, Attn: Stuart Benson, Secretary, by November 26, 2018, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Rule 14a-8 proposals must also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 and other applicable laws in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting. The November 26, 2018 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act.
