NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
1.
SUMMARY
OF BUSINESS AND DESCRIPTION OF GOING CONCERN
Description of Business and Going Concern
MobileSmith, Inc.
(referred to herein as the “Company,” “us,”
“we,” or “our”) was incorporated as
Smart Online, Inc. in the State of Delaware in 1993. The Company
changed its name to MobileSmith, Inc. effective July 1, 2013.
The same year the Company focused exclusively on development of
do-it-yourself customer facing platform that enabled organizations
to rapidly create, deploy, and manage custom, native smartphone and
tablet apps deliverable across iOS and Android mobile platforms
without writing a single line of code. During 2017 the
Company concluded that it had its highest rate of success with
clients within the Healthcare industry and concentrated its
development and sales and marketing efforts in that industry.
During 2018 we further refined our Healthcare offering and
redefined our product - a suite of e-health mobile solutions that
consist of a catalog of ready to deploy mobile app solutions (App
Blueprints) and support services. In 2019 and 2020 we
consolidated our current solutions under a single offering
branded Peri™. Peri™ is a cloud-based collection
of applications that run of our architected healthcare
technology ecosystem. The architecture is designed
to:
●
improve experience
of healthcare patients and consumers, who are often at the same
time members of various medical insurance networks
●
optimize delivery
of healthcare and relationship between members and insurance
networks
●
increase adoption,
utilization and intelligence of EMRs (electronic medical records),
extend EMR's usability to patients and consumers of
healthcare Peri™ is
designed to bridge the gap between healthcare industry system tools
and healthcare consumer's mobile device.
Our flagship PeriOp
offering is an EMR integrated mobile app based set of
pre
and postoperative instructions (which we refer to as Clinical
Pathways), that establishes a direct two-way clinical procedure
management process between a patient and a healthcare provider and
by doing so improves patient engagement and procedural
adherence.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company
incurred net losses, as well as negative cash flows from
operations, and at December 31, 2020 and 2019, had deficiencies in
working capital. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation as a going
concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows
to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional
financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable
operations and positive cash flows. Since November 2007, the
Company has been funding its operations, in part, from the proceeds
of the issuance of notes under a convertible secured subordinated
note purchase agreement facility which was established in 2007 (the
"2007 NPA"), an unsecured convertible subordinated note purchase
agreement facility established in 2014 (the "2014 NPA") and
subordinated promissory notes to related parties. In December
2020 and January 2021 the Company exchanged all of its non-bank
debt for Series A Convertible Preferred stock and terminated both
2007 and 2014 NPAs.
The Company is
authorized to issue up to 1,750,000 in Series A Convertible
Preferred stock at a price of $42.9 per share. The Company
management expects that Series A Convertible Preferred stock will
remain it main source of funding in foreseeable future.
Based on the above, there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
2.SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the
Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. Significant
estimates and assumptions made by management include the
determination of performance obligations and the allocation of
consideration among performance obligations, and the determination
of when the Company has met the requirements to recognize revenue
related to the performance obligations, share-based compensation
and allowance for accounts receivable. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") covers $250,000 for substantially
all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have
amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.
Revenue Recognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations
to Customers
The Company
derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription to the
suite of e-health mobile solutions and, to a much lesser degree,
ancillary services provided in connection with subscription
services.
The
Company’s contracts include the following performance
obligations:
●
Access
to the content available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including
hosting of the deployed apps;
●
App
Build and Managed Services; and
●
Custom
development work.
The majority of the Company’s
contracts are for a subscription to a catalog of mobile App
Blueprints, and hosting of the deployed apps and related services.
Custom work for specific deliverables is documented in statements
of work or separate contracts. Customers may enter into
subscription and various statements of work concurrently or
consecutively. Most of the Company’s performance obligations
are not considered to be distinct from the subscription to
Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related services and are
combined into a single performance obligation except for certain
custom development work which is capable of being distinct. New
statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each
reporting period and significant judgment is applied as to nature
and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations
on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The transaction
price of the contract is an aggregate amount of consideration
payable by customer for delivery of contracted services. The
transaction price is impacted by the terms of a contracted
agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one to three
years. The transaction price excludes any marketing or
sales discounts or any future renewal periods, unless the
renewal periods represent a material right given to customer to
extend the agreement. The transaction price may include a
significant financing component in instances where the Company
offers discounts for accelerated payments on the long-term
contracts. Significant financing components are recorded in
other assets and amortized as interest expense in the
Company’s Statement of Operations over the term of the
contract.
The transaction
price is predominantly allocated to a single performance obligation
of access to the Blueprints, hosting and related services and, to a
lesser degree, allocated between the access and other distinct
performance obligations based on the stand-alone selling price. The
subscription revenue is then recognized over time over the term of
the contract, using the output method of time elapsed. Other
performance obligations identified are evaluated based on the
specific terms of the agreement are usually recognized at a point
in time upon delivery of a specific documented output. Management
believes that such chosen methods faithfully depict satisfaction of
the Company performance obligations and transfer of benefit to the
customers.
The full
transaction price of the contract may be billed in its entirety or
in agreed upon installments. Billed transaction price in
excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a contract
liability. The unbilled portion of transaction price related
to revenue earned represents contracted consideration receivable by
the Company that was not yet billed.
Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract
The
Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract include
sales commissions. Sales commissions are recognized as other
assets on the balance sheet for the contracts with a term exceeding
12 months. These costs are amortized through the term of the
contract and are recorded as sales and marketing
expense.
Contract Liabilities
A new contract
liability is created every time the Company records receivables due
from its customers. The contract liability represents the
Company’s obligation to transfer services for which the
Company has already invoiced. Most of the contract
liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of 12 to 36
months.
Customer Credit Risk
Most of the
Company's receivables (billings) are collected within 30-45
days. The majority of the Company's customers are healthcare
organizations, which historically have had low credit
risk.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues
includes salaries of customer support teams, costs of
infrastructure, expenses for outsourced work to fulfill the
contracted work, and amortization charges for capitalized
software.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability or failure of its customers to make
required payments. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts
is evaluated based on specifically identified amounts that
management believes to be potentially uncollectible. If actual
collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be
required.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company
evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets every
reporting period or whenever events and circumstances indicate that
the value may be impaired.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs
consist primarily of industry related tradeshows and marketing
campaigns. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first
time the advertising takes place, applied consistently based on the
nature of the advertising activity. The amounts related to
advertising during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were
$248,261 and $234,203, respectively.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of Convertible Subordinated
Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), conversion of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of share-based awards are
excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number,
because the effect of the conversion and exercise would be
anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates new significant accounting pronouncements at
each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the
Company did not identify any new pronouncement that had or is
expected to have a material effect on Company’s presentation
of its financial statements.
3. DEBT

had been significantly impacted by the following transactions that
took place in 2020:

●
Debt exchange of all
non-bank debt for equity that was completed on two different

Bank Loan
The Company has an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement with
Comerica Bank dated June 9, 2014 (the "LSA") in the amount of
$5,000,000, with an extended maturity date of June 9,
2022. The LSA is secured by an extended irrevocable
letter of credit issued by UBS AG
(Geneva, Switzerland) ("UBS AG") with a renewed term expiring on
May 31, 2021, which term is renewable for one year periods, unless
notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to
the then current expiration date.
The LSA with Comerica has the following additional
terms:
●
a
variable interest rate at prime plus 0.6% payable
monthly;
●
secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the
Company’s intellectual property;
●
acceleration of
payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and
continuation of certain events of default, including but not
limited to, failure by the Company to perform its obligations,
observe the covenants made by it under the LSA, failure to renew
the UBS AG SBLC, and insolvency of the Company.
Paycheck Protection Program
Loan
On April 29, 2020 the Company borrowed $542,100 through issuance of
a promissory note in accordance with the Paycheck Protection
Program ("PPP") established by Section 1102 of the CARES Act and
implemented and administered by the Small Business Administration
(the "PPP loan"). The PPP loan matures on April 29,
2022. The PPP loan carries interest at 1% per year and is
payable in 18 monthly installments of $30,513. The PPP loan
may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment
penalties. The PPP loan contains events of default and other
provisions customary for a loan of this type. Pursuant to the
PPP rules, all or portion of this loan may be forgiven. The
actual amount of the loan forgiveness will depend, in part, on the
total amount of payroll costs, certain allowed rent and utility
costs. Not more than 25% of the loan forgiveness amount may
be attributable to non-payroll costs. The Company used the
proceeds from the PPP loan for qualifying expenses, applied for
forgiveness of the PPP loan in accordance with the terms of the
CARES Act. Such forgiveness was granted to the Company on
February 18, 2021.
Convertible
Notes
under 2007 and 2014 NPAs Overview
Since November 14,
2007 and through December 10, 2014, the Company financed its
working capital deficiency primarily through the issuance of its
notes of up to $33,300,000 in principal (the “2007 NPA
Notes”) under the Convertible Secured Subordinated Note
Purchase Agreement, dated November 14, 2007, as amended (the
“2007 NPA”). On December 11, 2014 the Company
entered into 2014 NPA for the sum of notes up to $40,000,000 in
principal ("2014 NPA Notes"). At the request of the note
holder any amounts borrowed under the 2007 NPA and the 2014 NPA
allow the principal amount to be converted to common shares at a
conversion price of $1.43 per share.
Maturity of 2014
and 2007 NPA Notes had been extended several times. The most
recent such extension moved maturity date to November 14,
2022. Notes under both 2014 and 2007 NPAs were issued with
identical terms. Such main terms are as follows: (a) allow
for optional conversion into common stock upon request of a
noteholder at a price of $1.43 (b) pay 8% interest twice per
year in January and July (c) subordinated to the Bank
Loan.
Majority of 2007
and 2014 NPA notes are related party notes.
Grasford
Investments, Ltd. ("Grasford"), the Company’s largest
stockholder, owned $12,076,282 in face value amount of 2007 NPA
Notes as of December 31, 2019. Grasford is controlled by Avy
Lugassy, one of the Company’s principal shareholders.
Grasford's entire holding was exchanged in the
December 2020 Debt Exchange.
UBP
owned $27,617,180 in combined face value of 2007 and 2014 NPA Notes
as of December 31, 2019 and is considered a significant beneficial
owner. UBP's holdings grew to $28,817,180 during 2020, which
was exchanged in the December 2020 Debt
Exchange. Crystal
Management owned $730,769 in face value of 2007 NPA Notes as of
December 31, 2019. Crystal Management is controlled by Doron
Rotler, the third largest shareholder of the Company. The
entire holding was exchanged in the December 2020 Debt
Exchange.
During 2020 the
Company issued $2,900,000 in 2014 NPA notes to an unrelated party
on three different occasions. These notes were the only
non-bank notes outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and were
exchanged in the January 2021 Exchange
transaction. The carrying value of the notes as of December
31, 2020 was $972,108 and represented face value of $2,900,000, net
of discount of $1,927,892 .
Subordinated Promissory Notes, Related Parties
The
Company has issued subordinated notes to related parties to finance
its shortfall in working capital. The subordinated notes
carry interest rate of 8% per year, which is paid twice a
year. The subordinated notes are unsecured and are
subordinated to all other Company debt. The subordinated
notes had maturity date in November of 2022. Avy Lugassy, one
of the Company's principal shareholders is a beneficial owner of
the related parties holding the subordinated notes.
The
Company started the year with $3,518,250 on January 1, 2020 in
outstanding notes and issued additional $1,910,000 notes during the
year under the same terms. During the May 2020 Note Exchange
$4,063,250 of subordinated promissory notes to related parties were
exchanged for the same face value of 2014 NPA note under the terms
described above (refer to "May 2020 Note Exchange" paragraph below
for more detail), which were subsequently exchanged again in the
December 2020 Debt Exchange. The remaining balance of
$1,365,000 in subordinated promissory notes to related parties were
also exchanged in the December 2020 Debt Exchange.
April 2020 Debt Modification
On
April 30, 2020, the Company and the holders of the majority of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes issued
under the 2014 NPA (the "2014 NPA Notes") and holders of the
majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Secured Promissory Notes (the
“2007 NPA Notes”) issued under the
Convertible Secured Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement dated
November 14, 2007 (the "2007 NPA”) agreed to extend the
maturity dates of the 2014 NPA Notes and the 2007 NPA Notes to
November 14, 2022. In addition, the 2014 NPA was amended to
allow the Company to issue 2014 NPA Notes as consideration of
cancellation of other indebtedness. Except as for above mentioned
modifications, all of the terms relating to the outstanding 2007
NPA Notes and the 2014 Notes continue in full force and effect. The
Company is entitled to utilize the amounts available for future
borrowing under each of the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement and the
2014 Note Purchase Agreement through November 14,
2022.
May 2020 Note
Exchange
On May 6, 2020, the Company and related party holders of
$4,063,250 in subordinated promissory notes exchanged those notes
for the 2014 NPA Notes issued under 2014 NPA (the "May 2020 Note
Exchange"). Avy Lugassy, one of Company's principal
shareholders is a beneficial owner of the entities holding newly
issued 2014 NPA Notes. The newly issued 2014 NPA Notes mature
on November 14, 2022 and have the terms identical to other 2014 NPA
Notes. The May 2020 Note Exchange was accounted for as debt
extinguishment and the newly issued 2014 NPA Notes were recorded at
fair value in accordance with ASC 470
"Debt". The
total fair value of the 2014 NPA Notes issued as a result of the
May 2020 Note Exchange was determined to be $8,928,000. The
May 2020 Note Exchange transaction resulted in loss recorded on the
statement of operations of $4,864,750 and a premium on the newly
issued convertible debt of $4,864,750. The embedded
beneficial conversion feature present in the newly issued debt in
the amount of $4,063,250 resulted in a debt discount and a charge
to paid-in
capital.
Amortization of debt discount and debt premium was scheduled to be
recorded in interest expense through the maturity date of the
notes.
December 2020
Debt Exchange
On
December 23, 2020, the Company and all but one debt investor
entered into a debt exchange transaction where the Company
exchanged its convertible and non-convertible debt plus accrued but
unpaid interest into Series A Convertible Preferred
equity. The December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction was
accounted for as debt extinguishment and the newly issued Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares were recorded at fair value in
accordance with ASC 470 "Debt". The total of 1,158,141 shares
were issued in December 2020 Debt Exchange fair valued at
$103,299,344. The combined face value of debt exchanged was
$47,989,660 in addition to accrued but unpaid interest of
$1,694,467 for a total of $49,684,127. The carrying value of
the debt exchanged was $48,810,508 due to inclusion of unamortized
debt discounts and debt premiums in the amounts of $4,519,542 and
$3,645,924, respectively. The difference between the carrying
amount of extinguished debt and fair value of the Series A
Preferred Shares issued
resulted in loss recorded on the statement of
operations of
$54,488,834.
As a result of the
December 2020 Debt Exchange, the original 2007 and 2014 NPAs and
related notes with participating investors were
cancelled.
During the year
the Company recorded $3,184,641 in amortization of debt discount,
offset by $1,218,824 of amortization of debt
premium.
As of December 31,
2020 the Company has approximately $250,000 in interest outstanding
related to non-bank debt.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
From time to time,
the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or
disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends
itself vigorously in all such matters. In the opinion of
management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or
proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or
cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the
outcome or effect of any such litigation or investigatory matters
or any other pending litigations or claims. There can be no
assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such lawsuits and
investigations. The Company will record a liability when it
believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and
the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company
periodically evaluates developments in its legal matters that could
affect the amount of liability that it has previously accrued, if
any, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is
required to determine both the likelihood of there being, and the
estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters, and the
Company’s judgment may be incorrect. The outcome of any
proceeding is not determinable in advance. Until the final
resolution of any such matters that the Company may be required to
accrue for, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the
amount accrued, and such amounts could be material.
5.
STOCKHOLDERS’
DEFICIT
Common Stock
The Company is
authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par
value per share. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had
28,389,493 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of the
Company’s shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held.
Preferred Stock
The Board of
Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to
issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in
one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges,
and restrictions applicable to such shares, including dividend
rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation
preferences, and to fix the number of shares constituting any
series and the designations of such series.
On December 10,
2020 the Board of Directors authorized to designate
1,750,000 of 5,000,000 as Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock with the following terms:
●
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a
par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to $42.90
(the “Stated Value”);
●
Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall
be entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to $3.43, subject
to proration related to the timing of issuance. Such dividend
is designed to have an effective yield of 8%on invested stated
value;
●
Each dividend shall be paid either in shares of
Series A Preferred Stock (“Payment-in-Kind”) or in cash, at the option of the
Corporation, on the respective Dividend Date;
●
The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights
with respect to any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of
the Corporation;
●
The
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have certain Board
observation and inspection rights administered through a designated
Agent;
●
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any
time and from time to time, at the option of the Holder into 30
shares of Common Stock, which results in conversion ratio of $1.43
of stated value of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of
common stock (the "Series A Preferred Conversion
Price");
●
The shares are subject to automatic conversion immediately
prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction,
as defined in a Certificate of Designation. A Fundamental
Transaction includes, but is not limited to, a sale, merger or
similar change in ownership.
On December 23,
2020 the Company issued 1,158,141 of Series A Convertible Preferred
shares in the December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction (refer to
"Debt" footnote for more detail on the transaction).
The December 2020 Debt Exchange resulted in a debt
extinguishment treatment and the Series A Convertible Preferred was
recorded at its fair value of $103,299,344. On the date of the
December 2020 Debt Exchange the market value of the common stock
was above the Series A Preferred Conversion Price of $1.43, which
resulted in the conversion feature that was beneficial to the
holder on the date of the exchange. The resulting beneficial
conversion feature was recorded as a discount and amortized in its
entirety as a deemed dividend on the date of the
December 2020 Debt Exchange and charged to loss attributable to
common shareholders on the Company's Statement of Operations in the
amount of $37,176,330.
During the period
ended December 31, 2020 the Company issued 8,156 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred in exchange of 350,000 in cash funding.
The shares were issued with a beneficial conversions feature
discount and resulted in a deemed dividend with charge to loss
attributable to common shareholders of $261,850.
Equity Compensation Plans
2016 Equity Compensation
Plan
In May 2016, the
Company’s shareholders authorized adoption of the approved
MobileSmith Inc. 2016 Equity Compensation Plan for officers,
directors, employees and consultants, initially reserving for
issuance thereunder 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
The exercise price
for incentive stock options granted under the above plans is
required to be no less than the fair market value of the common
stock on the date the option is granted, except for options granted
to 10% stockholders, which are required to have an exercise price
of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock
on the date the option is granted. Incentive stock options
typically have a maximum term of 10 years, except for option grants
to 10% stockholders, which are subject to a maximum term of five
years. Non-statutory stock options have a term determined by either
the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors. Options granted under the plans are not transferable,
except by will and the laws of descent and
distribution.
A summary of the status of the stock
option issuances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and changes

Weighted-average
grant-date fair values of options issued during 2020 and 2019 were
$2.27 and $1.42, respectively.
At December 31,
2020, $9,316,951 of expense remains to be recorded related to all
options outstanding.
Exercise prices for
options outstanding as of December 31, 2020 ranged between $.90 and
$2.75.
The Company
measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The requisite service period is generally three years. The
Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company uses
the simplified method allowed by SAB 107 for estimating expected
term of the options in calculating the fair value of the awards
that have a term of more than 7 years because the Company does not
have reliable historical data on exercise of its options. The
simplified method was used for options granted in 2020
and 2019.
The fair value of
option grants under the Company’s equity compensation plan
during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was estimated
using Black-Scholes pricing model using the following
weighted-average assumptions :

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We are required to
provide financial statement users with information about assets and
liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet or
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements regarding (1)
the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop fair value
measurements, including the related judgments and assumptions made,
(2) the uncertainty in the fair value measurements as of the
reporting date, and (3) how changes in the measurements impact the
performance and cash flows of the entity.
Fair value is
defined as the price that would be received to sell 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.
The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature
contains three levels as follows:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that
are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial
instruments whose value is determined using pricing models,
discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well
as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires
significant management judgment or estimations.
The
2020 May 2020 Note Exchange and the December 2020 Debt
Exchange resulted in transactions which required the Company to
recognize debt extinguishments in both instances and to record
newly issued financing instruments at fair value at the dates of
the transactions on a non-recurring basis. Fair
value measurements in both transactions were categorized as Level 3
fair value measurements due to use of various unobservable inputs
to the pricing models. A single most significant
factor included in pricing models was the Level 1
input of observable market value of MobileSmith common
stock on the date of the transactions, as quoted on the
OTCQB. Despite the thinly traded nature of the Company stock,
the quoted market value could not be ignored in determination of
fair value in the transactions.
Fair value
measurements in the May 2020 Note Exchange transaction
(refer to "Debt" footnote for the description of the
transaction)
The
Company used a binomial model to determine the fair value of the
newly issued instrument.
The
significant unobservable inputs and information used to develop
those inputs include the following:
●
the
volatility of stock price was determined to be 86% and was based on
the volatility of the Company’s stock price as quoted on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) for the
period of 2.5 years, which approximated the period remaining until
maturity of the convertible instrument at the time of the
transaction;
●
the
risk free rate of .24%;
●
the
credit spread over the risk free rate of approximately
8%;
●
the
nodes of the binomial model were extended for two and a half years,
which approximates the time period until maturity of the
convertible instrument; and
●
the
conversion ratio of $1.43 per share of common
stock
Fair value
measurements in December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction (refer to
"Stockholder's deficit" footnote for the description of the
transaction)
The Company used
income approach to arrive at the fair value of the Series A
Convertible Preferred stock on December 23, 2020 - the date of the
exchange. Using this approach the value of Series A
Convertible Preferred holding is equal to the present value of the
cash flow streams that can be expected to be generated by the
holder in a combination of dividends and conversion of preferred
shares into common and subsequent sale of the common
shares. The Company used Monte Carlo model
to simulate future movement of our common stock and discounted the
results back to December 23, 2020 transaction date. The model
used the following notable inputs:
●
the
market price of the Company common stock on December 23, 2020 of
$2.50 as a starting point of simulation
●
the
risk free rate and discount rate of 1.23%;
●
term of
simulation extended to 15 years;
●
the
model also considered the probability of a Fundamental Transaction
(as defined in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of
designation) and probabilities of payment of dividend in cash or in
additional preferred shares.
As of December 31,
2020 and 2019, we believe that the fair value of our financial
instruments other than cash and cash equivalents, such as, accounts
receivable, our bank loan, notes payable, and accounts payable
approximate their carrying
amounts.

INCOME
TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP. Under the
asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and
liabilities.
The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as

As
of December 31, 2020, the Company had U.S. federal net operating
loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $96.5
million, of which $19.3 million will never expire and approximately
$77.2 million will expire between 2021 and 2037. For state tax
purposes, the NOL carryforwards expire between 2021 and 2035. In
accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the
Company within a three-year period can result in an annual
limitation on the Company’s ability to utilize its NOL
carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the
change in ownership.
The
Company has reviewed its tax positions and has determined that it
has no significant uncertain tax positions at December 31,
2020.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On January 28, 2021
the Company exchanged the remaining face value of
$2,900,000 of convertible debt for 70,014 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred stock (the "January 2021 Debt
Exchange")
Subsequent to
December 31, 2020 the Company issued a total of 41,066 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred stock in exchange for $1,761,700 of
cash investment.
On February 18,
2021 the Company's PPP loan was forgiven in its
entirety.
In
February 2021, the Company received approximately $542,000 of
proceeds from a note payable issued under either the SBA's Paycheck
Protection Program under section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act
or the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program Second Draw Loans under
Section 7(a)(37) of the Small Business Act. The note matures in
five years and bears interest at 1% per year. Similar to the
initial PPP Loan, the second loan contains a loan forgiveness
covered period of six months from the date of issuance in which the
Company will not be obligated to make any payments of principal or
interest. If the Company does not submit a loan forgiveness
application within ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness
covered period, the Company must begin making principal and
interest after that period. Interest continues to accrue during the
deferment period. If the Company is unable to or does not follow
those guidelines for the loan to be forgiven by the SBA, the
Company would be required to repay a portion of or the entire
balance of the loan proceeds in full.
