CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“the Quarterly Report”), including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere herein may address or relate to future events and expectations and as such constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”). Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things:

· our ability to continue as a going concern;

· anticipated growth and growth strategies;

· the need for additional capital and the availability of financing;

· the ability to secure additional patents;

· the ability to monetize patents or recoup our investment;

· the ability to protect intellectual property rights;

· new legislation, regulations or court rulings related to enforcing patents that could harm our business and operating results;

· expansion plans and opportunities;

· our ability to attract and retain key members of our management team;

· our anticipated needs for working capital;

· the anticipated trends in our industry;

· our ability to expand operational capabilities; and

· competition existing today or that will likely arise in the future.

Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict.

In light of these risks and uncertainties there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein will in fact occur. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

INVENTERGY GLOBAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

1. Organization

Inventergy Global, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” “Inventergy” or the “Company”) is an intellectual property (IP) investment and licensing company that helps leading technology corporations attain greater value from their IP assets in support of their business objectives and corporate brands. Inventergy, Inc. was initially organized as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Silicon Turbine Systems, LLC in January 2012. It subsequently changed its name to Inventergy, LLC in March 2012 and it was converted from a limited liability company into a Delaware corporation in February 2013. On June 6, 2014, a subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) of eOn Communications Corporation (“eOn”) merged with and into Inventergy, Inc. (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, eOn changed its name to “Inventergy Global, Inc.” The Company is headquartered in Campbell, California.

The Company operates in a single industry segment.

In June 2014, in conjunction with the Merger, the Company effected a one-for-two reverse split of its common stock. In December 2015, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock. All share and per share amounts are reflective of these splits.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim financial statements are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual financial statements. It is management’s opinion that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit since inception of $55,765,266 (including a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $491,837) and had a negative working capital of $9,442,447. As of May 9, 2016, we had remaining cash of $723,940 (which includes $200,000 of minimum cash reserves (see discussion, Note 5), which is intended to serve as additional collateral pursuant to our agreement (the “Fortress Agreement”) with Fortress Investment Group, LLC and its affiliates ("Fortress"). These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Toward that end, the Company entered into its first license agreement in February 2015 (under which we expect to receive an aggregate of $2,000,000 over the period of the license), received net proceeds from an additional drawdown from the Fortress Agreement of $1,126,900, received net proceeds of $1,835,000 from the sale of common stock in April 2015, and received gross proceeds of $4,000,000 from the sale of two patent families in June 2015. In addition, the Company received gross payments for patent licensing of $1,500,000 during 2015 and received net proceeds of approximately $2,175,000 in January 2016 from the sale of Series C preferred stock. We will seek to continue our operations primarily with income received through our patent monetization efforts, including licensing revenues and patent sales, but we will likely need to seek additional financing through loans, which will be subject to the restrictions of the Fortress Agreement, and/or the sale of securities. If we are required to raise additional capital financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. Additionally, if we raise capital through the issuance of equity, our current stockholders will experience dilution.

6 

The business will need significant additional capital and/or patent monetization revenues to continue to monetize current patent portfolios and will need significant additional capital to purchase any new patent portfolios and execute the Company’s longer term business plan. Based on the Company’s internal planning for the year ending December 31, 2016, which anticipates certain cash inflows and revenue from our patent sales and licensing pipeline which are expected to close during 2016, estimated cash expenditures for operating expenses will be approximately $6.2 million for the next twelve months, consisting of approximately $1.9 million in employee related costs, $0.8 million in patent maintenance and prosecution fees and $3.5 million in other operational costs. In addition, we anticipate making $7.5 million of payments relating to the acquisition of our patent portfolios, $2.2 million of which are fixed payments and $5.3 million are variable payments based on assumed patent monetization revenues. Also, debt servicing fees payable to Fortress will be approximately $5.8 million. Based on the foregoing and our existing cash balances and proactive measures to reduce expenses and defer obligations where possible, our management believes we have funds sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for less than three months.

To date, the Company has acquired an aggregate of approximately 755 currently active patents and patent applications for aggregate purchase payments of $12,109,118. We are required to make guaranteed payments to one of the sellers of the patents totaling $2,200,000 in 2016. See Note 9 herein for further information regarding these guaranteed payments.

The Company will also require additional financing for the purchase of additional patent portfolios and to fund its monetization efforts if new attractive opportunities are found. If the Company acquires additional large patent portfolios, in addition to the cost of the upfront purchase fee (if any) it is likely that additional resources (business, technical or legal) may need to be hired to effectively monetize the portfolio. Resources to analyze new portfolios are already part of the current staffing of the Company. Litigation costs are based primarily on a contingent fee structure (expected to average less than 20% of license revenue for a portfolio) and as such do not scale significantly with the acquisition of new portfolios. Acquisitions or investments may be consummated through the use of cash, equity, seller financing, third party debt, earn-out obligations, revenue sharing, profit sharing, or some combination of two or more of these types of consideration. Due to the current state of the credit markets, the Company is not able to predict with any certainty whether it could obtain debt or equity financing to provide additional sources of liquidity, should the need arise, at favorable rates.

Management estimates and related risks

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Although these estimates reflect management's best estimates, it is at least reasonably possible that a material change to these estimates could occur in the near term.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company typically grants standard credit terms to customers in good credit standing. The Company generally reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts on a customer-by-customer basis, which requires the Company to judge each individual customer’s ability and intention to fully pay account balances. The Company makes these judgments based on knowledge of and relationships with customers and current economic trends, and updates these estimates on a monthly basis. Any changes in estimate, which can be significant, are included in earnings in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has established a reserve of $22,350 for uncollectable accounts.

7 

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (or the term of the lease, if shorter), which range from three to five years. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation is removed and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Patents, net

Patents, including acquisition costs, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 7 - 10 years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Patents are utilized for the purpose of generating licensing revenue.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of certain contract rights acquired in the Merger. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired by the Company. The carrying amount of goodwill will be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company determined that it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company estimates the value of the reporting unit using independent valuation and/or other market validation of certain asset values as the best evidence of fair value. This fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets on an annual basis, or more frequently whenever circumstances indicate a long-lived asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

8 

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high quality financial institutions. Periodically, such balances are in excess of federally insured limits.

Stock-based compensation

The Company has a stock option plan under which incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are granted primarily to employees. All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and RSAs, are recognized in the financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash flow.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of comprehensive income or loss. The Company has estimated the fair value of each option award as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSAs is calculated as the fair value of the underlying stock multiplied by the number of shares awarded. The awards issued consist of fully-vested stock awards, performance-based restricted shares, and service-based restricted shares.

Expenses related to stock-based awards issued to non-employees are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis over the expected service period. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future pretax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in future periods. The Company has a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets.

The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount that is initially recognized.

Fair value measurements

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

9 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

· Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

· Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

· Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The category within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new standard, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standard for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with a duration of one year of more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized like capital leases are under current accounting, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, disclosure requirements and on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Patents

Patent intangible assets consisted of the following at March 31, 2016:

	Weighted Average Useful Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Amortizable intangible assets:
Patents	6.65 years	$	11,893,745	$	(3,601,569	)	$	8,292,176
Total patent intangible assets		$	11,893,745	$	(3,601,569	)	$	8,292,176

The Company expects its amortization expenses to be approximately $1,510,977 per year for each of the next four years, $1,481,270 in 2020, then in declining annual amounts through 2023.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables summarize the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

March 31, 2016	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Common stock warrants	$	6,940	$	-	$	-	$	6,940
Total	$	6,940	$	-	$	-	$	6,940

As discussed in Note 6, in January 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 23,858 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $30.40 to a placement agent. The exercise price is subject to adjustment and has been subsequently adjusted to $22.70 per share. The warrants may be exercised without cash consideration in lieu of forfeiting a portion of shares. Accordingly, the Company recognized a derivative liability at fair value upon issuance of the warrants. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability as of March 31, 2016 was estimated using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	65	%
Risk free rate	0.86	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Expected term (in years)	2.8226

The assumptions utilized were derived in a similar manner as discussed in Note 7 related to the fair value of stock options.

The Company revalues the derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period using the same models as at issuance, updated for new facts and circumstances, and recognizes the change in the fair value in the statements of operations as other income (expense). The following sets forth a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities measured on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:

	Common  Stock  Warrants
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	30,278
Change in fair value		(6,886	)
Balance at March 31, 2015	$	23,392
Balance at December 31, 2015	$	4,145
Change in fair value		2,795
Balance at March 31, 2016	$	6,940

5. Borrowing Arrangements

On September 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Joseph W. Beyers, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue Mr. Beyers up to 23,364 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $21.40 per share for aggregate consideration to us of up to $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of such agreement and concurrently with the execution of the agreement, Mr. Beyers made an initial payment of $300,000 to the Company towards the aggregate purchase price. The shares were only to be issued if we did not obtain $6 million or more in debt financing within 10 business days of the execution of the agreement. As a result of the Fortress Agreement the Company is required to return the $300,000 in cash previously prepaid by Mr. Beyers and the Company will not issue any securities as a result of the Share Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the application of $100,000 of this amount towards the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the greater of $4.60 per share or a 15% premium to the market price. As a result, on June 26, 2015, the Company sold 21,740 shares of previously unissued common stock at a price of $4.60 per share to the Chief Executive Officer. As of March 31, 2016, repayments of $125,000 have been made to the Chief Executive Officer and the remaining balance of $75,000 has been recorded as a related party loan payable.

On October 1, 2014 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inventergy, Inc., entered into the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement with entities affiliated with Fortress Investment Group, LLC, including a Note Purchaser (as defined below) who also serves as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and a Revenue Participant (as defined below). On February 25, 2015, the Company, Inventergy, Inc. and Fortress entered into the Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Fortress Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fortress Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of $12,199,500 in notes (the “Original Fortress Notes”) to the purchasers identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Note Purchasers”). As a result of the issuance of the Original Fortress Notes and the sale of the Fortress Shares (as defined below), after the payment of all purchaser-related fees and expenses relating to the issuance of the Original Fortress Notes and Fortress Shares, the Company received net proceeds of $11,137,753 (less issuance costs of $476,868). The Company used the net proceeds to pay off the Secured Convertible Notes and other indebtedness and for general working capital purposes. The unpaid principal amount of the Fortress Notes bears cash interest equal to LIBOR plus 7%. In addition, a 3% per annum paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest will be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Fortress Notes by the amount of such interest. The PIK interest shall be treated as principal of the Fortress Notes for all purposes of interest accrual or calculation of any premium payment.

12 

The principal of the Fortress Notes and all unpaid interest thereon or other amounts owing hereunder are due in full in cash by the Company on September 30, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company may prepay the Fortress Notes in whole or in part. In addition, upon the earlier of the date on which the all obligations of the Fortress Notes are paid in full, or become due the Company will pay to the Note Purchasers a termination fee equal to $853,965. This was accounted for as a discount on notes payable. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has repaid $2,805,757 of the Fortress Notes.

Upon receipt of any revenues generated from the monetization of the Patents (the “Monetization Revenue”) from the patents identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Patents”), the Company is required to apply, towards its obligations pursuant to the Fortress Notes, 100% of the difference between (a) any revenues generated from the Monetization Revenue less (b) any litigation or licensing related third party expenses (including fees paid to the original patent owners) reasonably incurred by the Company to earn Monetization Revenue, subject to certain limits (such difference defined as “Monetization Net Revenues”).

The Company shall make monthly amortization payments (the “Amortization Payments”) in an amount equal to (x) the then outstanding principal amount divided by (y) the number of months left until the Maturity Date. Such Amortization Payments were originally due to commence on the last business day of October 2015, but were deferred to the last business day of June 2016 by amendments to the Fortress Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Fortress Agreement, on October 1, 2014, the Company paid to the Note Purchasers a structuring fee equal to $385,000. This was accounted for as a discount on notes payable.

Pursuant to the Amended Fortress Agreement, the Company granted to the purchasers identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Revenue Participants”) a right to receive a portion of the Company’s Monetization Revenues totaling $11,284,538 (the “Revenue Stream”). The Revenue Participants will not receive any portion of the Revenue Stream until all obligations under the Original Fortress Notes are paid in full. Following payment in full of the Original Fortress Notes, the Company will pay to the Revenue Participants their proportionate share of the Monetization Net Revenues. The Revenue Participant’s proportionate share is equal to 75% of Monetization Net Revenues until $5,000,000 has been paid to the Revenue Participants, then 50% of Monetization Net Revenues until the remaining $6,284,538 has been paid to the Revenue Participants. All Revenue Stream Payments will be payable on a monthly basis in arrears. The rights of the Revenue Participants to the Revenue Stream are secured by all of the Company’s current patent assets and the Cash Collateral Account, in each case junior in priority to the rights of the Note Purchasers. In connection with the Revenue Participants’ right to receive a portion of the Company’s Monetization Revenues, the Company has recorded a net liability of $3,807,979, which represents the amount of the expected Monetization Revenues, discounted 18% over the expected life of the revenue share agreement. In conjunction with the most recent amendment to the Amended Fortress Agreement dated March 1, 2016, the Company determined that the change in expected cash flows was greater than 10% as compared to the previous agreement and, therefore, a debt extinguishment was deemed to have occurred. When recording the new present value of the debt and revenue share, which was computed using a discount rate of 18%, a gain on debt extinguishment of $2,434,661 was recognized.

As part of the Fortress Agreement, the Company and the Collateral Agent entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Patent License Agreement”) under which the Company agreed to grant to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to certain of its Patents (the “Licensed Patents”), which can only be used by the Collateral Agent following an occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default of the Fortress Agreement. When the Original Fortress Notes and Revenue Stream are paid in full, the Patent License Agreement will terminate.

As part of the transaction, the Company granted the Note Purchasers and Revenue Participants a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s currently owned patent assets and all proceeds thereof, as well as a general security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Note Purchasers and Revenue Participants do not have a security interest in any future patent purchases by the Company.

13 

Under the Fortress Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum $1,000,000 in cash reserves. Failure to maintain that minimum cash balance can constitute an event of default under the Fortress Agreement. If we were to default under the Fortress Agreement and were unable to obtain a waiver for such a default, interest on the obligations would accrue at an increased rate. In the case of a default, Fortress could accelerate our obligations under the Fortress Agreement. On March 29, 2016, the Company and Fortress entered into an additional amendment to the Fortress Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), under which, among other terms, Amortization Payments are not required for a four-month period and will re-commence on the last business day of June 2016, and the requirement to maintain a minimum in cash reserves is reduced from $1,000,000 to $200,000 for the same four-month period, increasing to $1,000,000 effective July 1, 2016.

Future debt payments owed under the Fortress Agreement are as follows:

Years ending December 31:
2016	$	4,396,502
2017		5,768,163
Total	$	10,164,665

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with the execution of the Fortress Agreement, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock at $20.00 per share to the Revenue Participants (the “Fortress Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The Fortress Shares were issued pursuant to a subscription agreement dated October 1, 2014. The shares were issued by the Company under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as they were issued to accredited investors, without a view to distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement. In addition, the Company issued to Fortress seven-year warrants for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.40 per share. As part of an amendment to the Fortress Agreement dated November 30, 2015, the exercise price of these warrants was changed to $2.54 per share.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Fortress Agreement, the Company paid a closing fee of $330,000. As discussed in Note 6, the Company also issued a five-year warrant to purchase 24,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $20.00 to National Securities Corporation, who acted as advisor to the Company with respect to the transaction. The warrant meets the requirements to be accounted for as an equity warrant. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant to be $153,759, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant as of November 1, 2014 was estimated using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	60	%
Risk free rate	1.62	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Expected term (in years)	5.00

The assumptions utilized were derived in a similar manner as discussed in Note 7 related to the fair value of stock options.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares have been designated as common stock and 10,000,000 shares have been designated as preferred stock. Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors. The holders of each share of common stock shall have the right to one vote for each share they own.

14 

On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold 467,392 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $4.60 per share resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $2.15 million (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The Registered Direct Offering was effected as a takedown off the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-199647), which was declared effective on November 10, 2014, and a related prospectus supplement filed on April 2, 2015 in connection with the Registered Direct Offering. The Registered Direct Offering closed on April 6, 2015.

In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) to act as its exclusive placement agent. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company paid to the Placement Agent $106,000 in cash, issued to the Placement Agent 5,762 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $5.75 per share (the “RD Warrants”) and reimbursed the Placement Agent for certain expenses. In addition, the Company paid to Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. $50,000 in cash and issued 10,870 RD Warrants in connection with certain tail fees owed to them as a result of the Registered Direct Offering. The RD Warrants allow for cashless exercise in certain situations and contain piggyback registration rights for the seven year period commencing on March 31, 2015.

In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a separate waiver agreement with one of its current stockholders pursuant to which the holder waived its right to participate in the Registered Direct Offering (the “Right of Participation”). In consideration for such waiver, the Company paid to the holder $35,000 in cash and waived any trading volume limitations or other lock-up provisions or restrictions imposed on the holder pursuant to an existing securities purchase agreement and an existing lock-up agreement the holder entered into with the Company. The Company also agreed that in the event that the Company obtains a consent, release amendment, settlement or waiver of the Right of Participation from any other stockholder holding such right i​n connection with the Registered Direct Offering on more favorable terms than in the waiver agreement prior to expiration of the Right of Participation of the holder, the holder will be entitled to the benefit of the more favorable terms. The holder’s Right of Participation terminated on September 8, 2015.

Shares of common stock reserved for future issuance were as follows as of March 31, 2016:

Series C convertible preferred stock	1,666,668
Options to purchase common stock	245,595
Shares reserved for issuances pursuant to 2014 Stock Plan	195,723
Warrants	1,596,235
Total	3,704,221

 Convertible preferred stock

Convertible preferred stock as of March 31, 2016 consisted of the following:

Convertible  Preferred Stock	Original  Issue Price		Shares  Designated		Shares Originally Issued		Shares  Outstanding		Liquidation  Preference
Series A-1	$	0.0100		5,000,000		5,000,000		0	$	-
Series A-2	$	1.6996		1,176,748		1,176,748		0	$	-
Series B	$	1,000.00		2,750		2,750		0	$	-
Series C	$	1,000.00		2,500		2,500		2,500	$	2,500,000

On January 21, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Investors in a private placement 2,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), each having a stated value of $1,000, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.5 million. The Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into 1,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, at an initial conversion price equal to $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Because this conversion price was below the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issue, and the Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, a deemed dividend on Series C Preferred Stock was recorded as the difference between the market price on the date of issue and the conversion price. This dividend amount of $466,667 is presented separately on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and is not included in Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders. After July 26, 2016, the conversion price will be equal to the lesser of (a) the conversion price then in effect or (b) 65% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for ten consecutive days prior to the applicable conversion date. The Series C Preferred Stock contains provisions providing for an adjustment in the conversion price upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, dilutive equity issuances and fundamental transactions. The Company may redeem some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock for cash as follows: (i) on or prior to March 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 126% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding, (ii) after March 26, 2016 and on or prior to July 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 144% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding and (iii) after July 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding.

15 

Each Investor also received a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 85% of such Investor’s subscription amount divided by $1.50, for a total of 1,416,668 shares. The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years commencing six months after the closing of the transaction at a cash exercise price of $1.79 per share. In the event that the shares underlying the Warrants are not subject to a registration statement at the time of exercise, the Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis after six months from the issuance date. The Warrants also contain provisions providing for an adjustment in the exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, dilutive equity issuances (so long as the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding) and fundamental transactions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, until the Company obtains Shareholder Approval (as defined below), the exercise price may not be reduced as a result of a dilutive equity issuance below $1.79 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events (the “Adjustment Floor”).

The Purchase Agreement requires the Company to hold a special meeting of stockholders to seek the approval of the holders of its common stock for the issuance of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock and the removal of the Adjustment Floor within 120 days of the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Shareholder Approval”).  Until the Company obtains the Shareholder Approval, the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is limited to 19.99% of the currently outstanding common stock. Additionally, until the Series C Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding, the Investors may participate in future offerings for up to 50% of the amount of such offerings.

The Company utilized a Placement Agent who received a commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering for an aggregate commission of $250,000. The Placement Agent will also be entitled to receive a cash fee from the exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid for the Investors’ legal expenses of $25,000, and paid legal fees of $50,000 to the Company’s outside counsel. The securities offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

In October 2015, the Company entered into agreements with holders of all of the outstanding Series A and Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to which the holders agreed to exchange all of their outstanding shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock for common stock. As a result, as of March 31, 2016, there were no remaining shares of Series A or Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. The previously-outstanding Preferred Stock amounts, along with the newly-issued common stock amounts, are as follows:

	Outstanding as of Sept. 30,  2015		Newly-Issued Common Stock
Series A-1		212,466		141,262
Series A-2		161,355		28,518
Series B		1,102		420,956

Warrants

In January 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 23,842 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30.40 to a placement agent. The warrants expire in January 2019. The exercise price was reduced to its floor of $22.70 as a result of the sale of the Fortress Shares. The warrants may be exercised without cash consideration in lieu of forfeiting a portion of its shares. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was $348,963, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrants was revalued at March 31, 2016 as discussed in Note 4.

On November 1, 2014 the Company issued 27,750 warrants to purchase common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $20.70. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was $164,196.

16 

Common stock warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2016 are listed as follows:

Warrants Outstanding		Remaining Contractual  Life (years)		Weighted Average Exercise
	1,416,668		4.81	$	1.79
	50,000		5.92	$	2.54

7. Stock-Based Compensation

In November 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the 2013 Stock Plan (such plan has since been adopted by the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger and renamed the “Inventergy Global, Inc. 2014 Stock Plan,” the “Plan” or the “2014 Plan”). Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock awards to employees and directors, and non-statutory stock options to employees, directors and consultants, as well as restricted stock. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-related and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property. The Board of Directors originally reserved 360,545 shares of common stock for issuance over the term of the Plan and, in September 2015, 170,000 shares were added to the plan. The exercise price of an option cannot be less than the fair value of one share of common stock on the date of grant for incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options. The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 110% of the fair value of one share of common stock on the date of grant for stockholders owning more than 10% of all classes of stock. Options are exercisable over periods not to exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% or more of the voting stock) from the grant date. Options may be granted with vesting terms as determined by the Board of Directors which generally include a one to five year period or performance conditions or both. The pre-existing options were subsumed under the Plan.

Common stock option and restricted stock award activity under the Plan was as follows:

			Options and RSAs Outstanding
	Shares Available for Grant		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise  Price Per Share
Balance at December 31, 2015		71,431		369,887		$	4.64
Options forfeited		123,096		(123,096	)	$	3.10
Options expired		1,196		(1,196	)	$	13.22
Balance at March 31, 2016		195,723		245,595		$	5.36
Total vested and expected to vest shares (options)				245,595		$	5.36
Total vested shares (options)				75,385		$	10.47

As of March 31, 2016, all of the restricted stock granted under the Plan had vested. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, stock options vested and expected to vest, and exercisable at March 31, 2016 was zero, since all of the options were out-of-the-money at March 31, 2016.

Prior to the Plan being established, the Company granted the equivalent of 1,413,904 RSAs to employees and non-employees in exchange for services with vesting specific to each individual award. As of March 31, 2016, 187,684 of these RSAs were subject to rescission by the Company, and 73,849 RSAs had been cancelled or forfeited.

As part of the Merger, 1,500 fully vested options with an exercise price of $143.00, were assumed by Inventergy Global, Inc., and remained outstanding as of March 31, 2016.

Stock-based compensation expense

The fair value of employee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	2016	2015
Expected volatility	n/a		64.00	%
Risk free rate	n/a		1.48	%
Dividend yield	n/a		0.00	%
Expected term (in years)	n/a		6.06

The expected term of the options is based on the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based on the option’s vesting term and contractual terms. The expected stock price volatility assumptions for the Company’s stock options were determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Forfeitures were estimated based on the Company’s estimate of future cancellations.

Stock-based compensation for employees and non-employees related to options and RSAs recognized:

	For the three months ended		For the three months ended
	March 31, 2016		March 31, 2015
General and administrative	$	130,358	$	472,274

No income tax benefit has been recognized related to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits have been realized from the exercise of stock awards. As of March 31, 2016, there were total unrecognized compensation costs of $701,406 related to these stock awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 1.57 years.

Non-employee stock-based compensation expense

The Company has issued options and restricted stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services with vesting specific to each individual award. Non-employee stock-based compensation expense is recognized as the awards vest and totaled $58,552 and $94,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of RSAs is calculated as the fair value of the underlying stock multiplied by the number of shares awarded.

Cancellation of Options

On March 25, 2015, the Company cancelled certain unvested options (totaling 143,266) previously granted to employees and directors under the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan, which had exercise prices ranging from $20.50 to $38.50, 10 year terms and 1 to 4 year vesting periods. In addition, on March 25, 2015, the Company issued new options to the same employees and directors under the 2014 Stock Plan. The Company granted an aggregate of 126,985 options to its employees, the vesting schedules of which were increased by 12 months as compared to the cancelled options – an increase from an average vesting schedule spanning 2.1 years to 3.1 years. The Company also granted an aggregate of 16,282 options to its directors, the vesting schedules of which were left substantially unchanged as compared to the cancelled options which had been set to align with the service time of each board member. The new options have an exercise price of $11.40 per share, which was a 48% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of March 25, 2015.

On October 16, 2015, the Company cancelled certain unvested options (totaling 177,446) granted to employees and directors under the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan, which had exercise prices ranging from $6.90 to $38.50, 10-year terms and 1 to 4 year vesting terms. In addition, on October 16, 2015, the Company issued new options to the same employees and directors under the 2014 Stock Plan. The Company granted an aggregate of 142,063 options to its employees and an aggregate of 35,383 options to its directors. The vesting schedules were left substantially unchanged as compared to the cancelled options. The new options have an exercise price of $3.10 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of October 16, 2015.

8. Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company records income tax expense or benefit based on year-to-date results and expected results for the remainder of the year. The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Based on the Company’s historical net losses during its development stage, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards, prior to any annual limitation, of approximately $48.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, expiring beginning in 2021 for federal and 2015 for California. The use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is subject to certain annual limitations and may be subject to further limitations as a result of changes in ownership as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. An ownership change date did occur in June 2014 at the merger with eOn so that an annual limitation was estimated to reduce the federal net operating loss carryforward to approximately $30.4 million with no further limitation to the California net operating loss carryforward . Notwithstanding, these federal and state net operating loss carryforwards could be further reduced if there are further ownership changes either prior to or after the merger.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions including California. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities including the United States and California. The Company is not currently under audit or examination by either of these jurisdictions. The federal and California statute of limitations remains open back to 2011 for federal and 2010 for California.  However, due to the fact that the Company has net operating losses carried forward dating back to 2001, certain items attributable to technically closed years are still subject to adjustment by the relevant taxing authority through an adjustment to the tax attributes carried forward to open years. 

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating lease

In March 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable thirty-eight month lease agreement for offices in Campbell, California commencing June 1, 2014 with escalating rent payments ranging from approximately $9,200 to $9,800 per month and one option to extend the lease term for an additional three years. Included in the lease agreement was a full rent abatement period of two months. Rent expense is recognized on a straight line basis. The Company paid a security deposit of $18,993 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The future minimum payments related to this lease are as follows:

Years ending December 31:
2016		87,633
2017		68,587
Total	$	156,220

Rent expense was $27,152 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

19 

Guaranteed payments

The Company entered into two agreements to purchase certain patent assets under which guaranteed payments were originally required. The first agreement originally required unconditional guaranteed payments of $18,000,000 to be paid out of net revenues from patent licensing receipts through December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2014, such guaranteed payments were accrued on the Company’s accompanying balance sheet at net present value using a discount rate of 12%. Expenses related to minimum revenue sharing payments were deferred as of December 31, 2014 to be amortized in correlation with the future payment schedule. This agreement was amended in December 2015, at which time all guaranteed payments and interest payments payable on any guaranteed payments were eliminated, and provided that the Company will pay the other party solely based on net revenues earned for the licensing and/or sale of the patents sold to the Company under the original agreement. In conjunction with the elimination of the $16.3 million liability for guaranteed payments and $1.0 million liability for accrued interest as of December 31, 2015, in accordance with this amendment, the Company also eliminated $16.3 million of related deferred expenses as of December 31, 2015. The original agreement provided that if the Company’s market capitalization fell below the aggregate dollar amount that the Company owed at that relevant point in time to the other party (but only prior to full payment), the party may exercise a limited right to repurchase the acquired patent portfolio assets at a purchase price at least equal to the amount the Company originally paid. Due to the elimination of the guaranteed payments, the party’s right to repurchase the patents can now only be triggered if the Company ceases to be a public company with securities listed on Nasdaq, another stock exchange or any over-the-counter quotation service. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the agreement.

The second agreement originally required a $2,000,000 guaranteed payment due on December 1, 2015. In October 2015, the Company and the other party amended the terms of the original patent purchase agreement, with the amendment providing that the Company will make a $550,000 payment on January 31, 2016 and a $1,650,000 payment on July 1, 2016, which amounts include $95,000 in additional interest. These amounts accrue interest at 1% per month if not paid by their respective due dates, and may be paid at a 10% discount if paid 45 days or more in advance of their respective due dates. Minimum revenue sharing payments are generally due sixty days after fully earned. Future guaranteed payments associated with this agreement are payable as follows:

Years ending December 31:
2016		2,200,000
Less: discount to present value		(71,166	)
Guaranteed payments, net of discount	$	2,128,834

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto.

Overview

The Company is an IP investment and licensing company that helps technology-leading corporations attain greater value from their IP assets in support of their business objectives and corporate brands. Inventergy, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was initially organized as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Silicon Turbine Systems, LLC in January 2012. It subsequently changed its name to Inventergy, LLC in March 2012 and it was converted from a limited liability company into a Delaware corporation in February 2013. On June 6, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Inventergy, Inc., with Inventergy, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company changed its name to “Inventergy Global, Inc.”

20 

The Company works to develop long-term relationships with global companies seeking to strategically realize an appropriate return on their IP assets, in which they have invested a significant amount of research and development (IP value creation). The Company offers clients a professional corporate licensing model for IP value creation that provides both short term returns and attractive, long-term licensing revenue. The Company has focused initially on developing relationships with companies in the telecommunications industry but its business purpose is not limited to that industry. We aspire to be a market-leader in IP value creation across various technology and market segments.

The core strategy of the Company is to acquire significant patent portfolios from Global Fortune 500 companies who are leaders or major players in their industries and to generate value from these portfolios through licensing or sales of these patents. The patents are generally purchased for a fee as well as a percentage of the net revenue (revenue after deduction of litigations costs, if any). As a result of such purchase agreements, the Company has full ownership of the patent portfolios, including the rights to past damages, and has the sole right to determine the best strategy to derive value from the portfolios. Accordingly, the Company remains independent of the clients from which we have acquired the patent portfolios.

Critical Accounting Policies

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $1,595,221 compared to $2,825,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $71,806 and $58,552 of equity compensation expense for restricted stock awards and stock options for employees and non-employees, respectively, compared to $378,261 and $94,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Salaries, wages and other personnel expenses were $391,483 and $790,751 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, a decrease of $399,268 primarily as a result of the termination of the employment of seven employees since March 2015. Investor relations expense was $33,972 and $308,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2015, respectively, a decrease of $274,909 as a result of decreased costs for investor relations, communications, media and related services in 2016, compared to higher costs in these areas following the Merger in 2014. Patent fees were $331,375 and $128,270 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, primarily as a result of higher consulting costs in 2016 relating to patent analysis. Legal expenses were $180,383 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $566,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease of $386,084 was primarily due to lower litigation costs due to the settlement of one matter in the fourth quarter of 2015. Other G&A expenses were $527,650 and $558,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, representing a decrease of $31,267, primarily as a result of lower consulting and facilities expenses, partially offset by higher state franchise taxes.

Gain / Loss on Debt Extinguishment

In connection with the most recent amendment to the Amended Fortress Agreement dated March 1, 2016, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $2,434,661 related to expected amounts of Net Monetization Revenues to be paid to Revenue Participants. In connection with an amendment to the Amended Fortress Agreement dated February 25, 2015, the Company recorded a loss of $2,268,373 in the three month period ended March 31, 2015. See Note 5 to our financial statements contained in Item 1 herein.

Decrease (Increase) in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

Increase in fair value of derivative liabilities was $2,795 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a decrease of $6,886 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was due to an increase in the Company’s stock price during this period. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was due to a decrease in the Company’s stock price during the corresponding period. See Note 4 to our financial statements contained in Item 1 herein.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was $1,062,676 and $1,248,483, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, this amount includes interest expense on patents purchased of $63,067 and interest expense and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs on Fortress Notes of $999,609. Of these amounts, $218,139 was paid in cash and the remaining amounts were accrued. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 includes interest expense on patents purchased of $185,148, interest expense and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs on Fortress Notes of $832,292, and other interest expense of $231,043.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit since inception of $55,765,266 and had negative working capital of $9,442,447. As of May 9, 2016, we had remaining cash of $723,940. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent on achieving additional licensing or sales revenue from our patent portfolios and/or obtaining additional financing on terms acceptable to us. Toward that end, the Company entered into its first licensing agreement in February 2015, received net proceeds from an additional drawdown from the Amended Fortress Agreement of $1,126,900, received net proceeds of $1,835,000 from the sale of common stock in April 2015, and received gross proceeds of $4,000,000 from the sale of two patent families in June 2015. In addition, on January 21, 2016 the Company received approximately $2,175,000 net proceeds through the private placement of 2,500 shares of Series C preferred stock. We will seek to continue our operations primarily with income received through our patent monetization efforts, including licensing revenues and patent sales, but we may need to seek additional financing through loans, which will be subject to the restrictions of the Fortress Agreement, and/or the sale of our securities. If we are required to raise additional capital, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The Company will need significant additional capital and/or patent monetization revenues to continue to monetize our current patent portfolios and we will need significant additional capital to purchase any new patent portfolios and execute our longer term business plan. Based on our internal planning for the year ended December 31, 2016, which anticipates certain cash inflows and revenue from our patent sales and licensing pipeline which are expected to close during 2016, we believe our cash expenditures for operating expenses will be approximately $6.2 million for the next twelve months, consisting of approximately $1.9 million in employee related costs, $0.8 million in patent maintenance and prosecution fees, and $3.5 million in other operational costs. In addition, we anticipate making $7.5 million of payments relating to the acquisition of our patent portfolios, $2.2 million of which are fixed payments and $5.3 million are variable payments based on assumed patent monetization revenues. Also, our debt servicing fees payable to Fortress will be approximately $5.8 million. These amounts payable to Fortress are in addition to any revenue sharing amounts expected to be paid from forecasted patent monetization revenues. Based on our existing cash balances, anticipated revenues from patent monetization activities, available financing opportunities, and proactive measures to reduce expenses and defer obligations where possible, management believes we have funds sufficient to meet our anticipated operating needs for less than three months.

22 

To date, the Company has acquired approximately 755 currently active patents and patent applications for aggregate purchase payments of $12,109,118. We will be required to pay $2,200,000 to a seller of the patents by July 2016 or pay a one percent per month late fee until paid. See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements for further information regarding this payment.

On February 11, 2015, the Company entered into its first license agreement, in which we expect to receive an aggregate of $2,000,000 of proceeds over the course of the five-year license. In connection therewith, on February 25, 2015, the Company amended and restated the Fortress Agreement pursuant to which Fortress agreed to make available to the Company an additional $3,000,000 of credit between February 25, 2015 and December 31, 2015, which can be drawn down in the form of additional senior secured notes with the same terms and conditions as the Original Notes. On February 25, 2015, we drew down $1,199,500 from the Additional Available Credit, which after the payment of transaction-related fees and expenses, netted $1,126,900 in proceeds to the Company. The Company may seek to raise additional capital in the form of further draw downs on the remaining Additional Available Credit, which would require the Company to obtain Fortress’ consent.

On June 25, 2015, the Company closed a sale of two of its patent families to an undisclosed third party for which we received gross proceeds of $4,000,000. Following expected payments to third parties and Fortress under revenue share agreements, the Company retained approximately $1,666,500, which was used to fund operating activities.

In addition to our capital needs over the next twelve months, which are detailed above, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our levels of net sales and licensing revenues, as well as the timing and extent of expenditures to support our patent infringement litigation. If we issue equity or equity equivalents to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution and the new holders of securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If adequate capital is not available when needed, we will be required to significantly modify our business model and operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level. It could cause us to be unable to execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or customer requirements. It may also cause us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs, to reduce or cease operations or to default under the Amended Fortress Agreement, which could lead to the repossession of our patent portfolios by Fortress.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $850,112. Also as of March 31, 2016, the Company had negative working capital of $9,442,447. The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $491,837 and our accumulated deficit amount was $55,765,266 as of March 31, 2016. Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016 consisted primarily of funds remaining from net proceeds of $2,175,000 (after issuance costs of $325,000) received from the sale of Series C preferred stock, partially offset by $658,757 principal payments on the Fortress Notes and expenditures for general operating purposes.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $850,112 compared to $554,556 as of December 31, 2015. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $295,556 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was attributable to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,491,243, partially offset by net cash used in operating activities of $1,195,687.

Cash Flows – Operating Activities

The Company’s operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted in net cash used of $1,195,687. Net cash used in operating activities consisted of a net loss of $491,837, less non-cash gain on debt extinguishment of $2,434,661, partially offset by non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation expense of $4,251, an increase in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,795, amortization of discount and debt issuance costs on notes payable of $759,869, amortization of patents and acquired contracts of $405,995, accrued interest on patent purchase of $52,067, and stock-based compensation of $130,358. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $375,476, from a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets totaling $133,931, a decrease in deferred expenses of $20,875, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $172,238 and an increase in deferred revenue of $150,000, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $6,281 and a decrease in accounts payable of $95,287.

The Company’s operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 resulted in net cash used of $1,022,837. Net cash used from operations consisted of a net loss of $6,625,833, offset by non-cash expenses of depreciation expense of $4,251, loss on debt extinguishment of $2,268,373, amortization of discount and debt issuance costs on notes payable of $882,440, amortization of patents and acquired contracts of $415,834, and stock-based compensation of $472,274. These non-cash expenses were partially offset by non-cash income from a decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities of $6,886. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $1,566,710, from a decrease in accounts receivable of $248,501, a decrease in inventories of $130,155, an increase in accounts payable of $633,097, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $208,014 and an increase in deferred revenue of $446,429, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $33,181 and deferred expenses of $96,305.

23 

Cash Flows – Investing Activities

The Company had no investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Cash Flows – Financing Activities

The Company’s financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted in net cash received of $1,491,243, consisting of $2,175,000 received from the sale of Series C preferred stock (net of $325,000 of issuance costs), partially offset by repayments of Original Fortress Notes of $658,757 and repayments of $25,000 of short-term notes payable to a related party.

The Company’s financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 resulted in net cash received of $1,126,900 from the issuance of notes payable (net of issuance costs of $72,600).

The Company will require additional financing for the purchase of additional patent portfolios and to fund its monetization efforts if new attractive opportunities are found. If the Company acquires additional large patent portfolios, in addition to the cost of the upfront purchase fee (if any) it is likely that additional resources (business, technical or legal) may need to be hired to effectively monetize the portfolio. Resources to analyze new portfolios are already part of the current staffing of the Company. Litigation costs are based primarily on a contingent fee structure (expected to average less than 20% of license revenue for a portfolio) and as such does not scale significantly with the acquisition of new portfolios. Acquisitions or investments may be consummated through the use of cash, equity, seller financing, third party debt, earn-out obligations, revenue sharing, profit sharing, or some combination of two or more of these types of consideration. Due to the dynamic credit market, the Company is not able to predict with any certainty whether it could obtain debt or equity financing to provide additional sources of liquidity at favorable rates should the need arise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company and therefore are not required to provide the information for this item for Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on their evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

24 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On July 14, 2014, Inventergy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a complaint in the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Texas, against Genband US LLC (“Genband”) over the infringement of five patents owned by Inventergy, Inc. On October 27, 2015, Inventergy, Inc. entered into a settlement agreement with Genband pursuant to which, among other provisions, Genband paid an undisclosed settlement fee to Inventergy, Inc.

On January 23, 2015, Sonus Networks, Inc., filed a declaratory judgment complaint in the Northern District of California (the “California Action”) naming the Company and Inventergy, Inc. as defendants and alleging non-infringement of seven patents from Inventergy, Inc.’s IMS/VOIP patent portfolio. The complaint was amended on March 10, 2015, further alleging unfair competition, breach of contract and a RICO claim under 18 USC 1961. The Company and Inventergy, Inc. counterclaimed on January 26, 2015 for infringement of the same seven patents, which was answered by Sonus on August 31, 2015.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REVENUE SHARING AND NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This THIRD AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REVENUE SHARING AND NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Third Amendment") is dated as of March 1, 2016 among Inventergy Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Inventergy, Inc. ("Owner'', and, collectively, the "Company"), DBD Credit Funding, LLC as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent"), and the Revenue Participants and Note Purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers") thereto, and amends that certain Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement between the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers originally dated as of October 1, 2014 and amended and restated as of February 25, 2015, and further amended as of October 30, 2015 and as of November 30, 2015 (such Agreement, as amended hereby and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Third Amendment shall have the meanings specified in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company has requested (i) that no amortization payments shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of February 2016, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016, and (ii) that the Liquidity maintenance requirement of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) be reduced to a requirement of not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) for the period February 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016; and

WHEREAS, the Purchasers are prepared to agree to the Company's requests, subject to certain adjustments being effected to the allocation of Monetization Revenues as detailed herein, and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.Amendments. The Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1.1.     Amortization.  Section 2.2.4.3 of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following proviso to the end of such Section:

"provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no amortization payments will be due and payable on the last Business Day of February 2016, March 2016, April 2016, and May 2016."

1.2. Adjusted Waterfall. Section 2.9 shall be amended and restated as follows:

"2.9     Proceeds of Patent Monetization. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.2.4.4 and Section 2.3 which are superseded by this Section 2.9, in the event of a sale or license whether exclusive or non exclusive, of all or a portion of the Patents or any other transaction that gives rise to Monetization Revenues (each a "Patent Realization Event") the proceeds of any such transaction, as and when received by the Company, shall be applied as follows:

i)     100% of the Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds from any such transaction shall be applied to the Note Obligations (which shall include any principal, interest, termination fees, legal fees or other expenses of the Collateral Agent in connection with such transaction) until paid in full; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, only 61.7% of any Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds received from *** shall be required to be applied to the Note Obligations.

ii)    Following the payment in full of the Note Obligations, 75% of the remaining Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds shall be applied to the Revenue Stream until the amount applied to the Revenue Stream pursuant to this clause (ii) totals $5 million.

iii)     Following the application of $5 million to the Revenue Stream pursuant to clause (ii), 50% of the remaining Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds shall be applied to the Revenue Stream until the amount applied to the Revenue Stream pursuant to this clause (iii) totals $6,284,538.

For purposes of this Section 2.9, the "Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds" of a transaction, shall mean the total gross Monetization Revenues of such transaction, less the following (i) any brokers' commissions that have been approved, in advance, by the Collateral Agent, (ii) the Company's reasonable documented legal fees and expenses directly related to such transaction; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no legal fees or expenses incurred prior to December 1, 2015 shall be deducted from such gross proceeds, less (iii) solely in the case of a Patent Sale of the Panasonic and Huawei Patents, Contractual Obligations of the Company to certain third parties as detailed below. Specifically, in the case of Panasonic patents, such third party Contractual Obligations consist of 20% of gross transaction proceeds owed to Panasonic, 2% of "*** Net Monetization Revenues" owed to *** (with such term defined in the agreement between the Company and ***), and 4% of "***Net Monetization Revenues", up to a pre-determined limit, owed to *** (with such term defined in the engagement letter between the Company and ***). In the case of Huawei patents, such third party Contractual Obligations consist of 20% of "Huawei Net Monetization Revenues" owed to Huawei (with such term defined in the Patent Purchase Agreement between the Company and Huawei), 10% of gross transaction proceeds, up to a pre-determined limit, owed to ***, 2% of "***Net Monetization Revenues" owed to *** (with such term defined in the agreement between the Company and ***), and 4% of "***Net Monetization Revenues", up to a pre-determined limit, owed to *** (with such term defined in the engagement letter between the Company and ***).

By way of illustration, assuming (i) that the gross proceeds of a sale of some or all of the Panasonic Patents totals $50,000,000, (ii) that the broker's commission is owed pursuant to the ***, (iii) that the Note Obligations (including expenses of the Collateral Agent) total $10,906,465 as of such date, which consist of $10,052,500 of principal outstanding and $853,965 of termination fees (PIK interest has been excluded for this example only), (iv) that the legal fees and disbursements of the Company in connection with such transaction totals $100,000, and (v) that allowable deductible expenses for purposes of calculating third party Contractual Obligations under the Company's agreements with third parties are $2,000,000 in all cases, then the proceeds of such sale shall be distributed as follows:

$50,000,000 would generate a commission due to *** under the *** of (0.1 x $1,000,000) + (0.075 x $4,000,000) + (0.05 x $45,000,000) = $2,650,000.

Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds would be calculated as:

Gross Proceeds	$	50,000,000
Less *** fees	$	(2,650,000	)
Less Company legal fees	$	(100,000	)
(Note: Contractual Obligations to *** if this was a Huawei!Nokia sale would be 10% of gross transaction proceeds up to a total of approx.. $1,600,000 based on previously deferred legal billings))
Less Contractual Obligation to Panasonic	$	(10,000,000	)
Less Contractual Obligation to ***	$	(960,000	)
(Or to *** if this was a Huawei/Nokia sale)
Less Contractual Obligation to ***	$	(336.600	)
Net Proceeds	$	35.953.400

i) $10,906,465 is applied to the Note Obligations, leaving $25,046,935 of Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds;

ii) Of the next $6,666,667 in Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds, $5,000,000 is applied to the Revenue Stream and $1,666,667 to the Company, leaving $18,380,268 in remaining Patent Realization Event Net Proceeds;

iii) Of the remaining $18,380,268, $6,284,538 is applied to the Revenue Stream, leaving $12,095,730, which will be paid to the Company.

The result of the foregoing distribution of $50,000,000, after payment of $2,750,000 in transaction expenses, is a total of $22,191,003 being paid to the Purchasers, $13,762,397 being paid to the Company, and $11,296,600 being paid to satisfy third party Contractual Obligations."

1.3. Minimum Liquidity. Section 6.10 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:

"6.l 0 Minimum Liquidity. The Company shall maintain not less than (x) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents ("Liquidity") from the Closing Date through November 1, 2015 and from after July 1, 2016, and (y) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in Liquidity from March l, 2016 through June 30, 2016, in each case not including amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account except to the extent the Company is entitled to such amounts, and shall provide weekly certifications demonstrating the Company's Liquidity."

Section 2. Effectiveness.

The effectiveness of this Third Amendment is subject to:

1.     the receipt by the Collateral Agent of the following: (i) fully executed copies of this Third Amendment and (ii) an officer's certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Company certifying that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects, and that there exists no Default or Event of Default, after giving effect to this Third Amendment; and

2.     the Company's payment of all fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees) to the extent invoiced on or before the date hereof (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of Ropes & Gray LLP) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Third Amendment or otherwise owing under the Agreement; provided, that the Company agrees to promptly pay any additional such amounts invoiced following the effectiveness of the Third Amendment.

Section 3. Miscellaneous. Except as specifically amended or waived above, the Agreement and the other Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Third Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser under the Agreement or any Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Agreement or any Document, except as specifically provided by this Third Amendment. This Third Amendment is a Document, and a part of the Agreement, for all purposes of the Agreement. This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart signature page by facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission of an Adobe portable document format file (also known as a "PDF' file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart signature page. Section headings used in this Third Amendment are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Third Amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Third Amendment to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim financial statements are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual financial statements. It is management’s opinion that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit since inception of $55,765,266 (including a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $491,837) and had a negative working capital of $9,442,447. As of May 9, 2016, we had remaining cash of $723,940 (which includes $200,000 of minimum cash reserves (see discussion, Note 5), which is intended to serve as additional collateral pursuant to our agreement (the “Fortress Agreement”) with Fortress Investment Group, LLC and its affiliates ("Fortress"). These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Toward that end, the Company entered into its first license agreement in February 2015 (under which we expect to receive an aggregate of $2,000,000 over the period of the license), received net proceeds from an additional drawdown from the Fortress Agreement of $1,126,900, received net proceeds of $1,835,000 from the sale of common stock in April 2015, and received gross proceeds of $4,000,000 from the sale of two patent families in June 2015. In addition, the Company received gross payments for patent licensing of $1,500,000 during 2015 and received net proceeds of approximately $2,175,000 in January 2016 from the sale of Series C preferred stock. We will seek to continue our operations primarily with income received through our patent monetization efforts, including licensing revenues and patent sales, but we will likely need to seek additional financing through loans, which will be subject to the restrictions of the Fortress Agreement, and/or the sale of securities. If we are required to raise additional capital financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. Additionally, if we raise capital through the issuance of equity, our current stockholders will experience dilution.

The business will need significant additional capital and/or patent monetization revenues to continue to monetize current patent portfolios and will need significant additional capital to purchase any new patent portfolios and execute the Company’s longer term business plan. Based on the Company’s internal planning for the year ending December 31, 2016, which anticipates certain cash inflows and revenue from our patent sales and licensing pipeline which are expected to close during 2016, estimated cash expenditures for operating expenses will be approximately $6.2 million for the next twelve months, consisting of approximately $1.9 million in employee related costs, $0.8 million in patent maintenance and prosecution fees and $3.5 million in other operational costs. In addition, we anticipate making $7.5 million of payments relating to the acquisition of our patent portfolios, $2.2 million of which are fixed payments and $5.3 million are variable payments based on assumed patent monetization revenues. Also, debt servicing fees payable to Fortress will be approximately $5.8 million. Based on the foregoing and our existing cash balances and proactive measures to reduce expenses and defer obligations where possible, our management believes we have funds sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for less than three months.

To date, the Company has acquired an aggregate of approximately 755 currently active patents and patent applications for aggregate purchase payments of $12,109,118. We are required to make guaranteed payments to one of the sellers of the patents totaling $2,200,000 in 2016. See Note 9 herein for further information regarding these guaranteed payments.

The Company will also require additional financing for the purchase of additional patent portfolios and to fund its monetization efforts if new attractive opportunities are found. If the Company acquires additional large patent portfolios, in addition to the cost of the upfront purchase fee (if any) it is likely that additional resources (business, technical or legal) may need to be hired to effectively monetize the portfolio. Resources to analyze new portfolios are already part of the current staffing of the Company. Litigation costs are based primarily on a contingent fee structure (expected to average less than 20% of license revenue for a portfolio) and as such do not scale significantly with the acquisition of new portfolios. Acquisitions or investments may be consummated through the use of cash, equity, seller financing, third party debt, earn-out obligations, revenue sharing, profit sharing, or some combination of two or more of these types of consideration. Due to the current state of the credit markets, the Company is not able to predict with any certainty whether it could obtain debt or equity financing to provide additional sources of liquidity, should the need arise, at favorable rates.

Management estimates and related risks

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Although these estimates reflect management's best estimates, it is at least reasonably possible that a material change to these estimates could occur in the near term.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company typically grants standard credit terms to customers in good credit standing. The Company generally reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts on a customer-by-customer basis, which requires the Company to judge each individual customer’s ability and intention to fully pay account balances. The Company makes these judgments based on knowledge of and relationships with customers and current economic trends, and updates these estimates on a monthly basis. Any changes in estimate, which can be significant, are included in earnings in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has established a reserve of $22,350 for uncollectable accounts.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (or the term of the lease, if shorter), which range from three to five years. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation is removed and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Patents, net

Patents, including acquisition costs, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 7 - 10 years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Patents are utilized for the purpose of generating licensing revenue.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of certain contract rights acquired in the Merger. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired by the Company. The carrying amount of goodwill will be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company determined that it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company estimates the value of the reporting unit using independent valuation and/or other market validation of certain asset values as the best evidence of fair value. This fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets on an annual basis, or more frequently whenever circumstances indicate a long-lived asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high quality financial institutions. Periodically, such balances are in excess of federally insured limits.

Stock-based compensation

The Company has a stock option plan under which incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are granted primarily to employees. All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and RSAs, are recognized in the financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash flow.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of comprehensive income or loss. The Company has estimated the fair value of each option award as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSAs is calculated as the fair value of the underlying stock multiplied by the number of shares awarded. The awards issued consist of fully-vested stock awards, performance-based restricted shares, and service-based restricted shares.

Expenses related to stock-based awards issued to non-employees are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis over the expected service period. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future pretax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in future periods. The Company has a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets.

The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount that is initially recognized.

Fair value measurements

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

⋅ Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

⋅ Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

⋅ Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The category within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new standard, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standard for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with a duration of one year of more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized like capital leases are under current accounting, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, disclosure requirements and on its consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 6, in January 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 23,858 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $30.40 to a placement agent. The exercise price is subject to adjustment and has been subsequently adjusted to $22.70 per share. The warrants may be exercised without cash consideration in lieu of forfeiting a portion of shares. Accordingly, the Company recognized a derivative liability at fair value upon issuance of the warrants. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability as of March 31, 2016 was estimated using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	65	%
Risk free rate	0.86	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Expected term (in years)	2.8226

The assumptions utilized were derived in a similar manner as discussed in Note 7 related to the fair value of stock options.

The Company revalues the derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period using the same models as at issuance, updated for new facts and circumstances, and recognizes the change in the fair value in the statements of operations as other income (expense). The following sets forth a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities measured on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:

5. Borrowing Arrangements

On September 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Joseph W. Beyers, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue Mr. Beyers up to 23,364 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $21.40 per share for aggregate consideration to us of up to $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of such agreement and concurrently with the execution of the agreement, Mr. Beyers made an initial payment of $300,000 to the Company towards the aggregate purchase price. The shares were only to be issued if we did not obtain $6 million or more in debt financing within 10 business days of the execution of the agreement. As a result of the Fortress Agreement the Company is required to return the $300,000 in cash previously prepaid by Mr. Beyers and the Company will not issue any securities as a result of the Share Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the application of $100,000 of this amount towards the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the greater of $4.60 per share or a 15% premium to the market price. As a result, on June 26, 2015, the Company sold 21,740 shares of previously unissued common stock at a price of $4.60 per share to the Chief Executive Officer. As of March 31, 2016, repayments of $125,000 have been made to the Chief Executive Officer and the remaining balance of $75,000 has been recorded as a related party loan payable.

On October 1, 2014 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inventergy, Inc., entered into the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement with entities affiliated with Fortress Investment Group, LLC, including a Note Purchaser (as defined below) who also serves as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and a Revenue Participant (as defined below). On February 25, 2015, the Company, Inventergy, Inc. and Fortress entered into the Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Fortress Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fortress Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of $12,199,500 in notes (the “Original Fortress Notes”) to the purchasers identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Note Purchasers”). As a result of the issuance of the Original Fortress Notes and the sale of the Fortress Shares (as defined below), after the payment of all purchaser-related fees and expenses relating to the issuance of the Original Fortress Notes and Fortress Shares, the Company received net proceeds of $11,137,753 (less issuance costs of $476,868). The Company used the net proceeds to pay off the Secured Convertible Notes and other indebtedness and for general working capital purposes. The unpaid principal amount of the Fortress Notes bears cash interest equal to LIBOR plus 7%. In addition, a 3% per annum paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest will be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Fortress Notes by the amount of such interest. The PIK interest shall be treated as principal of the Fortress Notes for all purposes of interest accrual or calculation of any premium payment.

The principal of the Fortress Notes and all unpaid interest thereon or other amounts owing hereunder are due in full in cash by the Company on September 30, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company may prepay the Fortress Notes in whole or in part. In addition, upon the earlier of the date on which the all obligations of the Fortress Notes are paid in full, or become due the Company will pay to the Note Purchasers a termination fee equal to $853,965. This was accounted for as a discount on notes payable. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has repaid $2,805,757 of the Fortress Notes.

Upon receipt of any revenues generated from the monetization of the Patents (the “Monetization Revenue”) from the patents identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Patents”), the Company is required to apply, towards its obligations pursuant to the Fortress Notes, 100% of the difference between (a) any revenues generated from the Monetization Revenue less (b) any litigation or licensing related third party expenses (including fees paid to the original patent owners) reasonably incurred by the Company to earn Monetization Revenue, subject to certain limits (such difference defined as “Monetization Net Revenues”).

The Company shall make monthly amortization payments (the “Amortization Payments”) in an amount equal to (x) the then outstanding principal amount divided by (y) the number of months left until the Maturity Date. Such Amortization Payments were originally due to commence on the last business day of October 2015, but were deferred to the last business day of June 2016 by amendments to the Fortress Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Fortress Agreement, on October 1, 2014, the Company paid to the Note Purchasers a structuring fee equal to $385,000. This was accounted for as a discount on notes payable.

Pursuant to the Amended Fortress Agreement, the Company granted to the purchasers identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Revenue Participants”) a right to receive a portion of the Company’s Monetization Revenues totaling $11,284,538 (the “Revenue Stream”). The Revenue Participants will not receive any portion of the Revenue Stream until all obligations under the Original Fortress Notes are paid in full. Following payment in full of the Original Fortress Notes, the Company will pay to the Revenue Participants their proportionate share of the Monetization Net Revenues. The Revenue Participant’s proportionate share is equal to 75% of Monetization Net Revenues until $5,000,000 has been paid to the Revenue Participants, then 50% of Monetization Net Revenues until the remaining $6,284,538 has been paid to the Revenue Participants. All Revenue Stream Payments will be payable on a monthly basis in arrears. The rights of the Revenue Participants to the Revenue Stream are secured by all of the Company’s current patent assets and the Cash Collateral Account, in each case junior in priority to the rights of the Note Purchasers. In connection with the Revenue Participants’ right to receive a portion of the Company’s Monetization Revenues, the Company has recorded a net liability of $3,807,979, which represents the amount of the expected Monetization Revenues, discounted 18% over the expected life of the revenue share agreement. In conjunction with the most recent amendment to the Amended Fortress Agreement dated March 1, 2016, the Company determined that the change in expected cash flows was greater than 10% as compared to the previous agreement and, therefore, a debt extinguishment was deemed to have occurred. When recording the new present value of the debt and revenue share, which was computed using a discount rate of 18%, a gain on debt extinguishment of $2,434,661 was recognized.

As part of the Fortress Agreement, the Company and the Collateral Agent entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Patent License Agreement”) under which the Company agreed to grant to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to certain of its Patents (the “Licensed Patents”), which can only be used by the Collateral Agent following an occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default of the Fortress Agreement. When the Original Fortress Notes and Revenue Stream are paid in full, the Patent License Agreement will terminate.

As part of the transaction, the Company granted the Note Purchasers and Revenue Participants a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s currently owned patent assets and all proceeds thereof, as well as a general security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Note Purchasers and Revenue Participants do not have a security interest in any future patent purchases by the Company.

Under the Fortress Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum $1,000,000 in cash reserves. Failure to maintain that minimum cash balance can constitute an event of default under the Fortress Agreement. If we were to default under the Fortress Agreement and were unable to obtain a waiver for such a default, interest on the obligations would accrue at an increased rate. In the case of a default, Fortress could accelerate our obligations under the Fortress Agreement. On March 29, 2016, the Company and Fortress entered into an additional amendment to the Fortress Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), under which, among other terms, Amortization Payments are not required for a four-month period and will re-commence on the last business day of June 2016, and the requirement to maintain a minimum in cash reserves is reduced from $1,000,000 to $200,000 for the same four-month period, increasing to $1,000,000 effective July 1, 2016.

Future debt payments owed under the Fortress Agreement are as follows:

Years ending December 31:
2016	$	4,396,502
2017		5,768,163
Total	$	10,164,665

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with the execution of the Fortress Agreement, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock at $20.00 per share to the Revenue Participants (the “Fortress Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The Fortress Shares were issued pursuant to a subscription agreement dated October 1, 2014. The shares were issued by the Company under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as they were issued to accredited investors, without a view to distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement. In addition, the Company issued to Fortress seven-year warrants for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.40 per share. As part of an amendment to the Fortress Agreement dated November 30, 2015, the exercise price of these warrants was changed to $2.54 per share.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Fortress Agreement, the Company paid a closing fee of $330,000. As discussed in Note 6, the Company also issued a five-year warrant to purchase 24,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $20.00 to National Securities Corporation, who acted as advisor to the Company with respect to the transaction. The warrant meets the requirements to be accounted for as an equity warrant. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant to be $153,759, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant as of November 1, 2014 was estimated using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	60	%
Risk free rate	1.62	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Expected term (in years)	5.00

The assumptions utilized were derived in a similar manner as discussed in Note 7 related to the fair value of stock options.

Stockholders' Equity

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares have been designated as common stock and 10,000,000 shares have been designated as preferred stock. Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors. The holders of each share of common stock shall have the right to one vote for each share they own.

On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold 467,392 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $4.60 per share resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $2.15 million (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The Registered Direct Offering was effected as a takedown off the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-199647), which was declared effective on November 10, 2014, and a related prospectus supplement filed on April 2, 2015 in connection with the Registered Direct Offering. The Registered Direct Offering closed on April 6, 2015.

In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) to act as its exclusive placement agent. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company paid to the Placement Agent $106,000 in cash, issued to the Placement Agent 5,762 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $5.75 per share (the “RD Warrants”) and reimbursed the Placement Agent for certain expenses. In addition, the Company paid to Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. $50,000 in cash and issued 10,870 RD Warrants in connection with certain tail fees owed to them as a result of the Registered Direct Offering. The RD Warrants allow for cashless exercise in certain situations and contain piggyback registration rights for the seven year period commencing on March 31, 2015.

In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a separate waiver agreement with one of its current stockholders pursuant to which the holder waived its right to participate in the Registered Direct Offering (the “Right of Participation”). In consideration for such waiver, the Company paid to the holder $35,000 in cash and waived any trading volume limitations or other lock-up provisions or restrictions imposed on the holder pursuant to an existing securities purchase agreement and an existing lock-up agreement the holder entered into with the Company. The Company also agreed that in the event that the Company obtains a consent, release amendment, settlement or waiver of the Right of Participation from any other stockholder holding such right in connection with the Registered Direct Offering on more favorable terms than in the waiver agreement prior to expiration of the Right of Participation of the holder, the holder will be entitled to the benefit of the more favorable terms. The holder’s Right of Participation terminated on September 8, 2015.

Shares of common stock reserved for future issuance were as follows as of March 31, 2016:

Series C convertible preferred stock	1,666,668
Options to purchase common stock	245,595
Shares reserved for issuances pursuant to 2014 Stock Plan	195,723
Warrants	1,596,235
Total	3,704,221

Convertible preferred stock

Convertible preferred stock as of March 31, 2016 consisted of the following:

					Shares
Convertible	Original		Shares		Originally		Shares		Liquidation
Preferred Stock	Issue Price		Designated		Issued		Outstanding		Preference
Series A-1	$	0.0100		5,000,000		5,000,000		0	$	-
Series A-2	$	1.6996		1,176,748		1,176,748		0	$	-
Series B	$	1,000.00		2,750		2,750		0	$	-
Series C	$	1,000.00		2,500		2,500		2,500	$	2,500,000

On January 21, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Investors in a private placement 2,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), each having a stated value of $1,000, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.5 million. The Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into 1,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, at an initial conversion price equal to $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Because this conversion price was below the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issue, and the Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, a deemed dividend on Series C Preferred Stock was recorded as the difference between the market price on the date of issue and the conversion price. This dividend amount of $466,667 is presented separately on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and is not included in Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders. After July 26, 2016, the conversion price will be equal to the lesser of (a) the conversion price then in effect or (b) 65% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for ten consecutive days prior to the applicable conversion date. The Series C Preferred Stock contains provisions providing for an adjustment in the conversion price upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, dilutive equity issuances and fundamental transactions. The Company may redeem some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock for cash as follows: (i) on or prior to March 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 126% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding, (ii) after March 26, 2016 and on or prior to July 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 144% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding and (iii) after July 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding.

Each Investor also received a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 85% of such Investor’s subscription amount divided by $1.50, for a total of 1,416,668 shares. The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years commencing six months after the closing of the transaction at a cash exercise price of $1.79 per share. In the event that the shares underlying the Warrants are not subject to a registration statement at the time of exercise, the Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis after six months from the issuance date. The Warrants also contain provisions providing for an adjustment in the exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, dilutive equity issuances (so long as the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding) and fundamental transactions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, until the Company obtains Shareholder Approval (as defined below), the exercise price may not be reduced as a result of a dilutive equity issuance below $1.79 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events (the “Adjustment Floor”).

The Purchase Agreement requires the Company to hold a special meeting of stockholders to seek the approval of the holders of its common stock for the issuance of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock and the removal of the Adjustment Floor within 120 days of the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Shareholder Approval”).  Until the Company obtains the Shareholder Approval, the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is limited to 19.99% of the currently outstanding common stock. Additionally, until the Series C Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding, the Investors may participate in future offerings for up to 50% of the amount of such offerings.

The Company utilized a Placement Agent who received a commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering for an aggregate commission of $250,000. The Placement Agent will also be entitled to receive a cash fee from the exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid for the Investors’ legal expenses of $25,000, and paid legal fees of $50,000 to the Company’s outside counsel. The securities offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

In October 2015, the Company entered into agreements with holders of all of the outstanding Series A and Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to which the holders agreed to exchange all of their outstanding shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock for common stock. As a result, as of March 31, 2016, there were no remaining shares of Series A or Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. The previously-outstanding Preferred Stock amounts, along with the newly-issued common stock amounts, are as follows:

	Outstanding as of Sept. 30,  2015		Newly-Issued Common Stock
Series A-1		212,466		141,262
Series A-2		161,355		28,518
Series B		1,102		420,956

Warrants

In January 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 23,842 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30.40 to a placement agent. The warrants expire in January 2019. The exercise price was reduced to its floor of $22.70 as a result of the sale of the Fortress Shares. The warrants may be exercised without cash consideration in lieu of forfeiting a portion of its shares. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was $348,963, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrants was revalued at March 31, 2016 as discussed in Note 4.

On November 1, 2014 the Company issued 27,750 warrants to purchase common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $20.70. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was $164,196.

Stock-Based Compensation

7. Stock-Based Compensation

In November 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the 2013 Stock Plan (such plan has since been adopted by the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger and renamed the “Inventergy Global, Inc. 2014 Stock Plan,” the “Plan” or the “2014 Plan”). Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock awards to employees and directors, and non-statutory stock options to employees, directors and consultants, as well as restricted stock. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-related and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property. The Board of Directors originally reserved 360,545 shares of common stock for issuance over the term of the Plan and, in September 2015, 170,000 shares were added to the plan. The exercise price of an option cannot be less than the fair value of one share of common stock on the date of grant for incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options. The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 110% of the fair value of one share of common stock on the date of grant for stockholders owning more than 10% of all classes of stock. Options are exercisable over periods not to exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% or more of the voting stock) from the grant date. Options may be granted with vesting terms as determined by the Board of Directors which generally include a one to five year period or performance conditions or both. The pre-existing options were subsumed under the Plan.

Common stock option and restricted stock award activity under the Plan was as follows:

			Options and RSAs Outstanding
	Shares Available		Number of		Weighted Average Exercise
	for Grant		Shares		Price Per Share
Balance at December 31, 2015		71,431		369,887	$	4.64
Options forfeited		123,096		(123,096)	$	3.10
Options expired		1,196		(1,196)	$	13.22
Balance at March 31, 2016		195,723		245,595	$	5.36
Total vested and expected to vest shares (options)				245,595	$	5.36
Total vested shares (options)				75,385	$	10.47

As of March 31, 2016, all of the restricted stock granted under the Plan had vested. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, stock options vested and expected to vest, and exercisable at March 31, 2016 was zero, since all of the options were out-of-the-money at March 31, 2016.

Prior to the Plan being established, the Company granted the equivalent of 1,413,904 RSAs to employees and non-employees in exchange for services with vesting specific to each individual award. As of March 31, 2016, 187,684 of these RSAs were subject to rescission by the Company, and 73,849 RSAs had been cancelled or forfeited.

As part of the Merger, 1,500 fully vested options with an exercise price of $143.00, were assumed by Inventergy Global, Inc., and remained outstanding as of March 31, 2016.

The following table summarizes information with respect to stock options outstanding at March 31, 2016:

Options Outstanding								Options Vested

Stock-based compensation expense

The fair value of employee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	2016	2015
Expected volatility	n/a		64.00	%
Risk free rate	n/a		1.48	%
Dividend yield	n/a		0.00	%
Expected term (in years)	n/a		6.06

The expected term of the options is based on the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based on the option’s vesting term and contractual terms. The expected stock price volatility assumptions for the Company’s stock options were determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Forfeitures were estimated based on the Company’s estimate of future cancellations.

Stock-based compensation for employees and non-employees related to options and RSAs recognized:

	For the three months ended		For the three months ended
	March 31, 2016		March 31, 2015
General and administrative	$	130,358	$	472,274

No income tax benefit has been recognized related to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits have been realized from the exercise of stock awards. As of March 31, 2016, there were total unrecognized compensation costs of $701,406 related to these stock awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 1.57 years.

Non-employee stock-based compensation expense

The Company has issued options and restricted stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services with vesting specific to each individual award. Non-employee stock-based compensation expense is recognized as the awards vest and totaled $58,552 and $94,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of RSAs is calculated as the fair value of the underlying stock multiplied by the number of shares awarded.

Cancellation of Options

On March 25, 2015, the Company cancelled certain unvested options (totaling 143,266) previously granted to employees and directors under the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan, which had exercise prices ranging from $20.50 to $38.50, 10 year terms and 1 to 4 year vesting periods. In addition, on March 25, 2015, the Company issued new options to the same employees and directors under the 2014 Stock Plan. The Company granted an aggregate of 126,985 options to its employees, the vesting schedules of which were increased by 12 months as compared to the cancelled options – an increase from an average vesting schedule spanning 2.1 years to 3.1 years. The Company also granted an aggregate of 16,282 options to its directors, the vesting schedules of which were left substantially unchanged as compared to the cancelled options which had been set to align with the service time of each board member. The new options have an exercise price of $11.40 per share, which was a 48% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of March 25, 2015.

On October 16, 2015, the Company cancelled certain unvested options (totaling 177,446) granted to employees and directors under the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan, which had exercise prices ranging from $6.90 to $38.50, 10-year terms and 1 to 4 year vesting terms. In addition, on October 16, 2015, the Company issued new options to the same employees and directors under the 2014 Stock Plan. The Company granted an aggregate of 142,063 options to its employees and an aggregate of 35,383 options to its directors. The vesting schedules were left substantially unchanged as compared to the cancelled options. The new options have an exercise price of $3.10 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of October 16, 2015.

Income Taxes

8. Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company records income tax expense or benefit based on year-to-date results and expected results for the remainder of the year. The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Based on the Company’s historical net losses during its development stage, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards, prior to any annual limitation, of approximately $48.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, expiring beginning in 2021 for federal and 2015 for California. The use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is subject to certain annual limitations and may be subject to further limitations as a result of changes in ownership as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. An ownership change date did occur in June 2014 at the merger with eOn so that an annual limitation was estimated to reduce the federal net operating loss carryforward to approximately $30.4 million with no further limitation to the California net operating loss carryforward . Notwithstanding, these federal and state net operating loss carryforwards could be further reduced if there are further ownership changes either prior to or after the merger.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions including California. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities including the United States and California. The Company is not currently under audit or examination by either of these jurisdictions. The federal and California statute of limitations remains open back to 2011 for federal and 2010 for California.  However, due to the fact that the Company has net operating losses carried forward dating back to 2001, certain items attributable to technically closed years are still subject to adjustment by the relevant taxing authority through an adjustment to the tax attributes carried forward to open years.

Operating lease

In March 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable thirty-eight month lease agreement for offices in Campbell, California commencing June 1, 2014 with escalating rent payments ranging from approximately $9,200 to $9,800 per month and one option to extend the lease term for an additional three years. Included in the lease agreement was a full rent abatement period of two months. Rent expense is recognized on a straight line basis. The Company paid a security deposit of $18,993 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The future minimum payments related to this lease are as follows:

Years ending December 31:
2016		87,633
2017		68,587
Total	$	156,220

Rent expense was $27,152 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Guaranteed payments

The Company entered into two agreements to purchase certain patent assets under which guaranteed payments were originally required. The first agreement originally required unconditional guaranteed payments of $18,000,000 to be paid out of net revenues from patent licensing receipts through December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2014, such guaranteed payments were accrued on the Company’s accompanying balance sheet at net present value using a discount rate of 12%. Expenses related to minimum revenue sharing payments were deferred as of December 31, 2014 to be amortized in correlation with the future payment schedule. This agreement was amended in December 2015, at which time all guaranteed payments and interest payments payable on any guaranteed payments were eliminated, and provided that the Company will pay the other party solely based on net revenues earned for the licensing and/or sale of the patents sold to the Company under the original agreement. In conjunction with the elimination of the $16.3 million liability for guaranteed payments and $1.0 million liability for accrued interest as of December 31, 2015, in accordance with this amendment, the Company also eliminated $16.3 million of related deferred expenses as of December 31, 2015. The original agreement provided that if the Company’s market capitalization fell below the aggregate dollar amount that the Company owed at that relevant point in time to the other party (but only prior to full payment), the party may exercise a limited right to repurchase the acquired patent portfolio assets at a purchase price at least equal to the amount the Company originally paid. Due to the elimination of the guaranteed payments, the party’s right to repurchase the patents can now only be triggered if the Company ceases to be a public company with securities listed on Nasdaq, another stock exchange or any over-the-counter quotation service. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the agreement.

The second agreement originally required a $2,000,000 guaranteed payment due on December 1, 2015. In October 2015, the Company and the other party amended the terms of the original patent purchase agreement, with the amendment providing that the Company will make a $550,000 payment on January 31, 2016 and a $1,650,000 payment on July 1, 2016, which amounts include $95,000 in additional interest. These amounts accrue interest at 1% per month if not paid by their respective due dates, and may be paid at a 10% discount if paid 45 days or more in advance of their respective due dates. Minimum revenue sharing payments are generally due sixty days after fully earned. Future guaranteed payments associated with this agreement are payable as follows:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim financial statements are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual financial statements. It is management’s opinion that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit since inception of $55,765,266 (including a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $491,837) and had a negative working capital of $9,442,447. As of May 9, 2016, we had remaining cash of $723,940 (which includes $200,000 of minimum cash reserves (see discussion, Note 5), which is intended to serve as additional collateral pursuant to our agreement (the “Fortress Agreement”) with Fortress Investment Group, LLC and its affiliates ("Fortress"). These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Toward that end, the Company entered into its first license agreement in February 2015 (under which we expect to receive an aggregate of $2,000,000 over the period of the license), received net proceeds from an additional drawdown from the Fortress Agreement of $1,126,900, received net proceeds of $1,835,000 from the sale of common stock in April 2015, and received gross proceeds of $4,000,000 from the sale of two patent families in June 2015. In addition, the Company received gross payments for patent licensing of $1,500,000 during 2015 and received net proceeds of approximately $2,175,000 in January 2016 from the sale of Series C preferred stock. We will seek to continue our operations primarily with income received through our patent monetization efforts, including licensing revenues and patent sales, but we will likely need to seek additional financing through loans, which will be subject to the restrictions of the Fortress Agreement, and/or the sale of securities. If we are required to raise additional capital financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. Additionally, if we raise capital through the issuance of equity, our current stockholders will experience dilution.

The business will need significant additional capital and/or patent monetization revenues to continue to monetize current patent portfolios and will need significant additional capital to purchase any new patent portfolios and execute the Company’s longer term business plan. Based on the Company’s internal planning for the year ending December 31, 2016, which anticipates certain cash inflows and revenue from our patent sales and licensing pipeline which are expected to close during 2016, estimated cash expenditures for operating expenses will be approximately $6.2 million for the next twelve months, consisting of approximately $1.9 million in employee related costs, $0.8 million in patent maintenance and prosecution fees and $3.5 million in other operational costs. In addition, we anticipate making $7.5 million of payments relating to the acquisition of our patent portfolios, $2.2 million of which are fixed payments and $5.3 million are variable payments based on assumed patent monetization revenues. Also, debt servicing fees payable to Fortress will be approximately $5.8 million. Based on the foregoing and our existing cash balances and proactive measures to reduce expenses and defer obligations where possible, our management believes we have funds sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for less than three months.

To date, the Company has acquired an aggregate of approximately 755 currently active patents and patent applications for aggregate purchase payments of $12,109,118. We are required to make guaranteed payments to one of the sellers of the patents totaling $2,200,000 in 2016. See Note 9 herein for further information regarding these guaranteed payments.

The Company will also require additional financing for the purchase of additional patent portfolios and to fund its monetization efforts if new attractive opportunities are found. If the Company acquires additional large patent portfolios, in addition to the cost of the upfront purchase fee (if any) it is likely that additional resources (business, technical or legal) may need to be hired to effectively monetize the portfolio. Resources to analyze new portfolios are already part of the current staffing of the Company. Litigation costs are based primarily on a contingent fee structure (expected to average less than 20% of license revenue for a portfolio) and as such do not scale significantly with the acquisition of new portfolios. Acquisitions or investments may be consummated through the use of cash, equity, seller financing, third party debt, earn-out obligations, revenue sharing, profit sharing, or some combination of two or more of these types of consideration. Due to the current state of the credit markets, the Company is not able to predict with any certainty whether it could obtain debt or equity financing to provide additional sources of liquidity, should the need arise, at favorable rates.

Management estimates and related risks

Management estimates and related risks

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Although these estimates reflect management's best estimates, it is at least reasonably possible that a material change to these estimates could occur in the near term.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company typically grants standard credit terms to customers in good credit standing. The Company generally reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts on a customer-by-customer basis, which requires the Company to judge each individual customer’s ability and intention to fully pay account balances. The Company makes these judgments based on knowledge of and relationships with customers and current economic trends, and updates these estimates on a monthly basis. Any changes in estimate, which can be significant, are included in earnings in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has established a reserve of $22,350 for uncollectable accounts.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (or the term of the lease, if shorter), which range from three to five years. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation is removed and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Patents, net

Patents, net

Patents, including acquisition costs, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 7 - 10 years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Patents are utilized for the purpose of generating licensing revenue.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of certain contract rights acquired in the Merger. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired by the Company. The carrying amount of goodwill will be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company determined that it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company estimates the value of the reporting unit using independent valuation and/or other market validation of certain asset values as the best evidence of fair value. This fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets on an annual basis, or more frequently whenever circumstances indicate a long-lived asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high quality financial institutions. Periodically, such balances are in excess of federally insured limits.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

The Company has a stock option plan under which incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are granted primarily to employees. All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and RSAs, are recognized in the financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash flow.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of comprehensive income or loss. The Company has estimated the fair value of each option award as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSAs is calculated as the fair value of the underlying stock multiplied by the number of shares awarded. The awards issued consist of fully-vested stock awards, performance-based restricted shares, and service-based restricted shares.

Expenses related to stock-based awards issued to non-employees are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis over the expected service period. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Income taxes

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future pretax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in future periods. The Company has a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets.

The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount that is initially recognized.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

⋅ Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

⋅ Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

⋅ Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The category within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new standard, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standard for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with a duration of one year of more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized like capital leases are under current accounting, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, disclosure requirements and on its consolidated financial statements.

Debt Instrument, Description of Variable Rate Basis	LIBOR plus 7%. In addition, a 3% per annum paid-in-kind (PIK) interest will be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Fortress Notes by the amount of such interest. The PIK interest shall be treated as principal of the Fortress Note for all purposes of interest accrual or calculation of any premium payment.

Contract Claims Description				the Company is required to apply, towards its obligations pursuant to the Fortress Notes, 100% of the difference between (a) any revenues generated from the Monetization Revenue less (b) any litigation or licensing related third party expenses (including fees paid to the original patent owners) reasonably incurred by the Company to earn Monetization Revenue, subject to certain limits (such difference defined as “Monetization Net Revenues”).
Revenue Recognition Under Agreement Description				the Company granted to the purchasers identified in the Fortress Agreement (the “Revenue Participants”) a right to receive a portion of the Company’s Monetization Revenues totaling $11,284,538 (the “Revenue Stream”).
Revenue Recognition of Participants Under Proportionate Share Agreement Description				The Revenue Participants will not receive any portion of the Revenue Stream until all obligations under the Original Fortress Notes are paid in full. Following payment in full of the Original Fortress Notes, the Company will pay to the Revenue Participants their proportionate share of the Monetization Net Revenues. The Revenue Participant’s proportionate share is equal to 75% of Monetization Net Revenues until $5,000,000 has been paid to the Revenue Participants, then 50% of Monetization Net Revenues until the remaining $6,284,538 has been paid to the Revenue Participants. All Revenue Stream Payments will be payable on a monthly basis in arrears. The rights of the Revenue Participants to the Revenue Stream are secured by all of the Company’s current patent assets and the Cash Collateral Account, in each case junior in priority to the rights of the Note Purchasers. In connection with the Revenue Participants’ right to receive a portion of the Company’s Monetization Revenues, the Company has recorded a net liability of $3,807,979, which represents the amount of the expected Monetization Revenues, discounted 18% over the expected life of the revenue share agreement. In conjunction with the most recent amendment to the Amended Fortress Agreement dated March 1, 2016, the Company determined that the change in expected cash flows was greater than 10% as compared to the previous agreement and, therefore, a debt extinguishment was deemed to have occurred. When recording the new present value of the debt and revenue share, which was computed using a discount rate of 18%, a gain on debt extinguishment of $2,434,661 was recognized.
