Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations and Business Organization

 

Monaker Group, Inc., f/k/a Next 1 Interactive Inc. (“Monaker” or the “Company”), is a digital media marketing company focusing on lifestyle enrichment for consumers in the Travel, Home and Employment sectors. Core to its marketing services are key elements including proprietary video-centered technology and established partnerships that enhance its reach. Video is quickly becoming consumers’ preferred method of searching and educating themselves prior to purchases. Monaker’s video creation technology and film libraries combine to create lifestyle video offerings that can be shared both to its customers and through “trusted distribution systems” of its major partners. Monaker holds licenses and/or expertise in the travel, real estate and employment sectors, allowing it to capture fees at the point of purchase while the majority of transactions are handled by Monaker’s partners, eliminating much of the typical overhead associated with fulfillment.

 

Monaker Group’s core holdings include Maupintour, Nexttrip.com, NameYour Fee.com and prior to the October 31, 2014 deconsolidation RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz”). RealBiz generated revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. RealBiz also has four divisions: (i) its fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs, Inc.); (ii) Nestbuilder.com /Nestbuilder Agent its consumer and agent websites with over 1.6 million video listings and agent marketing platforms (iii) its Real Estate Virtual Tour, MicroVideo App and Media group and (iv) ReachFactor – its agent social media marketing division. The cornerstone of all four divisions is the proprietary technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music.

 

Presently, Monaker Group’s core holdings include three divisions: travel, employment and membership rewards, helping it to deliver marketing solutions to consumers at home, work and play:

 

Travel Division:

 

·Maupintour is the oldest luxury tour company in the US having a history of over 65 years of creating and booking tours and activity-focused trips, from private tours of the Vatican to bicycling in the Alps to wine- tasting in Italy. Maupintour books these trips and serves thousands of travel agents around the world.

 

·NEXT TRIP will provide access to travel video supported by full service travel divisions and key partnerships with multiple cruise and tour groups within the United States. It will include website and the introduction of a Mobile App tying key product offerings including the Home & Away Club platforms prior to year-end. Next Trip will use network original programs with thousands of hours of travel footage to create valuable and relevant content for its viewers. The Company also owns Cruise Shoppes and Stingy Travel allowing it to serve the entire travel spectrum with travel licenses including ARC, IATA, CLIA & Florida Seller of Travel.

 

·Voyage.tv was acquired to access the thousands of hours of travel footage shot in over 30 countries around the world. There are in excess of 15,000 clips of hotels, resorts, cruise and destination activities that can assist in the creation of travel video for education purposes.

 

Employment Division:

 

·NameYourFee.com On April 20, 2015, the Company along with Jasper Group Holdings, Inc. entered into a Joint Venture Agreement to utilize and develop www.NameYourFee.com website which provides tools for employment agencies to market their services. Next 1’s ownership in the Joint Venture is 51% and the Jasper Group is 49%. Each shares in capital contributions and well as participate in the net profits. NameYour Fee.com is a next generation job recruiting solution that allows employers to specify the amount of commission they are willing to pay a recruiting firm for placing candidates. Recruiters can review the opportunity and accept or reject based upon their current order flow. Traditionally, recruiting firms charge up to 30% of the candidate’s first year salary but under this scenario the market can find and negotiate a fee solution. NameYour Fee.com starts with a significant advantage through its ability to access significant databases in North America through Jasper Group’s related companies, such as the Job Channel Network and CandidateXchange. The immediate goal is to continue to grow these partnerships along with integrating the first video candidate solution by contracting rights for the employment vertical utilizing Realbiz Media Group, Inc. patented video technology platforms that allow it to process over 500,000 images an hour and convert pictures to video and text to voice in order to create an automated video. Additionally, the Company has developed the Ezflix video app which will be modified for the employment arena allowing both job candidate and companies to create, review and share video. The Jasper Group principles include Joe Abrams (co-founder of the parent company of My Space).

Membership Rewards Division:

 

·The Home & Away Club is a membership platform that operates similar to a “Costco Model” where goods are sold at close to cost and operational profit is derived from membership fees. The club is designed to aid both home owners and private label affinity groups alike. Club offerings are far reaching as they give members access to all of existing travel product lines including Cruises, Hotels and Resorts, Airfare, and Car Rental. The Club also has a comprehensive lineup of Lifestyle offerings that include Golf, Skiing, Wine Clubs, High End Merchandise, Sports, Concert and Entertainment Tickets, Cosmetics, Spa, and Wellness programs. During this quarter the club will be introducing roughly 1 million new home services and products. Notably, all Club products carry a best value guarantee, and savings to the member can be substantial. The Company also sells Home & Away Club membership to real estate agents as a means to allow them to benefit their customers and stay in contact with them through the rewards program. With the Home & Away Club, agents can earn dollars for completing actions and can receive greatly discounted gifts to give to their happy clients.

 

RealBiz Media Group, Inc.

 

Previous to the deconsolidation date of October 31, 2014, our former subsidiary RealBiz focused on real estate media advertising and engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. RealBiz Media generated revenue from advertising revenues and through real estate agent and broker service fees. RealBiz positioned itself in the following eight areas summarized here and explained in more detail below:

 

1.Nestbuilder Agent: to Agent Interaction-From an industry perspective we believe that our developed website will be revolutionary because it includes an agent only platform that is designed to allow for agent to agent interaction, and includes an “App Store” for relevant video content, community events, discount coupons, industry news and agent share programs. This site will completely empower the real estate agent with content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads at a fraction of the cost they are currently paying. This agent only site will also interact with our Microvideo App (MVA) platform.

 

2.Ezflix Mobile App: The Ezflix app is the only mobile/web video editor that pre-integrates with an agent’s listing data, allowing them to edit all of their listing’s data, and convert them into video with live video interstitial capabilities, audio recording and music. Ezflix can then share videos to all social media, email, and even portals such as NestBuilder – giving agents a way to personalize their listing videos with entertaining local relevant content. This application, both Web and Mobile, will be complete in 2015 when we combine our VT (Virtual Tour) and MVA (MicroVideo App) platform into one solution and distribute to multiple partners and resellers including Photographer and Videographer service providers’ network.

 

3.The Virtual Tour (VT) and MicroVideo App (MVA): was developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise systems and/or their brokers. This solution gives those franchises and brokers a much needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition. Currently, the strategy is to migrate our current client base of VT users to MVA’s and combine the total core offering into our EzFlix Mobile and Web based application in 2015.

 

4.NestBuilder: The world’s largest real estate video portal with over 1 million listings and rapidly growing to over 2 million. Unlike other leaders in the space that agents are seeking legitimate alternatives to, NestBuilder focuses on building agent’s brands and delivering high-quality leads. They achieve this by offering fully customizable webpages that will follow their homebuyer throughout the home search, ultimately turning NestBuilder.com into each agent’s very own national portal.

 

5.NestBuilder Mobile Search App: The app is currently in private testing and will be available to the public by the end of the year. The app’s core competency allows consumers to enter in their agent’s name, and effectively turn the NestBuilder app into the agent’s very own application where their branding follows the consumer along their home search journey, everywhere they go.

 

6.ReachFactor: A recently acquired full-marketing agency that specializes in real estate. ReachFactor offers a variety of solutions to agents and brokers such as web design, digital ad campaigns, blogging, social media management, reputation management, search engine optimization and much more.

RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (continued)

 

7.Enterprise Video Production: We service some of the largest and well known Franchisor accounts in the North America Real Estate Market in compiling listings into a Video format and distributing to those franchisors websites, brokers and agents and lead generation platforms 24/7. Some of these multiyear contracts have the company producing over 10 million video listings from 2012-2014 and will be eclipsing that production in 2015 alone. This core area significantly contributes to the company’s growth not only in this core service but continues to allow us access to national databases and directly agents and brokers to allow the company access to upgrades and upsell other core products and services.

 

8.Home and Away Club: RealBiz excels at beginning and closing the agent-buyer relationship, but the reality of real estate is that the average homebuyer looks for a new home once every 5 years. That’s why RealBiz has created the Home and Away Club so they can offer agents a means to stay in contact once the house is sold with a rewards program. With the Home and Away club, they can earn dollars for completing actions and can receive greatly discounted gifts to give to their happy clients.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending February 28, 2015.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

At February 28, 2014, the Company owned a 61% interest in RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz”), which owned an 85% interest in RealBiz Holdings, Inc. On October 31, 2014, the Company’s interest dropped to 43% in RealBiz. These entities’ accounts are no longer consolidated in the accompanying financial statements because we no longer have a controlling financial interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The 57% non-controlling interest in RealBiz is represented by 1,009,762 shares of RealBiz Series A Preferred Stock with an annual dividend rate of 10% and 85,799,012 shares of RealBiz common stock issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2014.

 

Noncontrolling Interest and Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

 

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets and reports noncontrolling interest net loss under the heading “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest” in the consolidated statements of operations. After the deconsolidation of RealBiz, as described in the following paragraph, there were no controlling interests in any of the Company's remaining subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by either the equity or cost methods, generally depending upon ownership levels. The equity method of accounting is used when the Company’s investment in voting stock of an entity gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, which is presumed to be the case when the Company holds 20% to 50% of the voting stock of, or can otherwise demonstrate significant influence over, the investee. Unconsolidated affiliate companies in which the Company does not have significant influence and owns less than 20% of the voting stock are accounted for using the cost method. These investments in unconsolidated affiliates are assessed periodically for impairment and are written down if and when the carrying amount is considered to be permanently impaired.

Deconsolidation

 

Monaker prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In accordance with accounting guidance for consolidation, prior to the Deconsolidation Date of October 31, 2014, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements present the consolidated results of the Company including its investment in RealBiz Media Group, Inc. On the deconsolidation date, in accordance with ASC 810-10-50-1B and the voting interest model, which basically requires that an entity consolidate another entity if it owns a majority (greater than 50%) of that other entity, Monaker commenced accounting for its investments in RealBiz in accordance with the equity method of accounting as of the deconsolidation date. See Note 2 for discussion on restatement of previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets, stock based compensation, accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at November 30, 2014 and February 28, 2014.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.

 

Property and Equipment

 

All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year. Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service. The estimated useful life of computer equipment is 3 years. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. The Company incurred depreciation expense of $12,121 and $-0- for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively all of which belong to RealBiz. Property and equipment related to RealBiz have been deconsolidated from the financial statements as of October 31, 2014.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. For the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not impair any long-lived assets.

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. The Company placed into service in June 2013 two websites, Maupintour.com and Nexttrip.com. Additionally, the Company placed into service in March 2014 the Nestbuilder website. All costs associated with these websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period. For the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company has capitalized $524,487 of costs associated with website development including $90,480 associated with a web portal that has not been placed into service. Websites related to RealBiz have been deconsolidated from the financial statements as of October 31, 2014.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by "ASC 985-20-25" Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the greater of (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. For the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company has capitalized $52,190 of costs associated with the development of a mobile app that has not been placed into service. Software development costs related to RealBiz have been deconsolidated from the financial statements as of October 31, 2014.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

1.    Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;

2.    Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

3.    Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company recorded an impairment charge on its intangible assets of $125,000 and $-0- during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (See note 3), related to our deconsolidated subsidiary RealBiz. Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $1,361,275 of which $1,236,275 was related to RealBiz and $1,070,916 for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, the Company generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

Based upon ASC 815-25 the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible debentures. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date. 

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. On June 25, 2015, the Board consented to (i) effect a 50-to-1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock and (ii) change the name of the Company from Next 1 Interactive, Inc. to Monaker Group, Inc. Such actions became effective upon the filing of the amendment(s) to our articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:

 

   November 30, 2014 
Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   4,432,028 
Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   5,144 
Series C convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   65,360 
Series D convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   346,760 
Warrants to purchase common stock issued, outstanding and exercisable   328,265 
Stock options issued, outstanding and exercisable   81 
Shares on convertible promissory notes   1,123,459 
    6,301,097

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Revenue recognition

 

Travel

 

Gross travel tour revenues represent the total retail value of transactions booked for both agency and merchant transactions recorded at the time of booking, reflecting the total price due for travel by travelers, including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds. The Company also generates revenue from paid cruise ship bookings in the form of commissions. Commission revenue is recognized at the date the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

 

Media

 

Our no longer consolidated subsidiary RealBiz’s marketing and promotional services are provided to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected fee for services yet to be delivered.

 

Under these policies, no revenue is recognized unless persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is deemed reasonably assured. The Company considers an insertion order signed by the client or its agency to be evidence of an arrangement.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues, for the travel segment, includes costs directly attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as amounts paid for airlines, hotels, excursions, sales commissions to business partners, industry conferences and public relations costs. Cost of revenues, for the media segment, include such items as credit card fees, sales commission to business partners, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.

 

Selling and Promotions Expense

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salary expenses associated with sales and marketing staff, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses. The goal of our advertising is to acquire new subscribers for our e-mail products, increase the traffic to our web sites, and increase brand awareness.

 

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, was $241,024 and $226,105, respectively.

 

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments to employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. Equity instruments issued to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for at fair value and marked to market until service is complete or a performance commitment date is reached, whichever is earlier, in accordance with ASC 505-50. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Warrant Modifications

 

The Company treats a modification of the terms or conditions of an equity award in accordance with ASC Topic 718-20-35-3 by treating the modification as an exchange of the original award for a new award. In substance, the entity repurchases the original instrument by issuing a new instrument of equal or greater value, incurring additional compensation cost for any incremental value. Incremental compensation cost shall be measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award determined in accordance with the provisions of this Topic over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at that date

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: 

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. See Note 16 for fair value measurements.

 

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Canadian dollar. The translation from the respective foreign currencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.

 

 14 

 

 

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. The Company recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $8,797 of which $7,842 was attributable to our former subsidiary RealBiz and a gain of $4,417 for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 2 – Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

May 29, 2015, Monaker Group, Inc.’s management determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014, should be restated, and should no longer be relied upon. The restatement resulted from a re-examination of the Company’s ownership interest in Realbiz Media Group, Inc. (“Realbiz”). Such re-examination resulted in the finding and conclusion that although the composition of the board of directors of each of the Company and Realbiz were substantially the same, the Company no longer had control over the operating and financial policies of Realbiz due to the Company’s decreased ownership interest in Realbiz. The Company has been deemed to no longer have controlling interest in its consolidated subsidiary during the quarter ended November 30, 2014 and is required to deconsolidate as of that time requiring an amendment to, and restatement of, the consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, financial results of Realbiz that had been consolidated with the financial results of the Company, should be deconsolidated.

 

After November 30, 2014, the Company is a standalone company focused solely on media and marketing of travel, membership programs and employment but still maintaining a non-controlling investment in Realbiz.   Realbiz, the former consolidated subsidiary, is now a standalone company focused exclusively on technology solutions for the real estate industry.  When the Company originally made its majority controlled investment in Realbiz in October 2012, it was its intention to reduce its investment to the level that the two companies would deconsolidate. Management discussed these matters with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms and appropriately filed a Form 8-K.

 

As a result of the deconsolidation, which took effect on October 31, 2014, we are restating our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, in this Form 10-Q/A. We are effectively extracting one month of activity from our former subsidiary RealBiz and all of RealBiz’s assets and liabilities as well. In addition to the restatement of our unaudited consolidated financial statements, we have restated the following notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements to reflect changes as a result of the deconsolidation:

Note 3 - Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $84,041,038, a working capital deficit of $12,202,349 at November 30, 2014, an operating loss for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 of $4,633,227 and cash used in operations during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 of $2,313,717. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has yet to achieve significant levels to fully support its daily operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to this going concern are as follows: The Company will continue to raise funds with third parties by way of a public or private offering. Management and members of the Board are working aggressively to increase the viewership of our products by promoting it across other mediums which will increase value to advertisers and result in higher advertising rates and revenues.

 

While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate greater revenues. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 4 – Investment in Equity Instruments and Deconsolidation

 

RealBiz Media Group, Inc.

 

Our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate consists of an investment in equity instruments of RealBiz. On October 9, 2012, Monaker and RealBiz, formerly known as Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 4, 2012 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Under the Exchange Agreement, our Company exchanged with Webdigs all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Monaker (“Attaché”). Attaché owns approximately 85% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc. (“RealBiz”) which is the parent corporation of RealBiz360, Inc. RealBiz is a real estate media services company with a proprietary video processing technology that is used to provide virtual tours to the real estate industry. In exchange for our Attaché shares, our Company received a total of 93 million shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Webdigs Series A Stock”). At November 30, 2014 Monaker owned 65,785,253 shares of RealBiz Series A Preferred Stock, representing a 43% ownership of RealBiz.

 

On October 31, 2014 (“Deconsolidation Date”), Monaker and RealBiz deconsolidated their financial statements since the investment in RealBiz went below 50% majority ownership and Monaker was deemed to no longer have control over RealBiz. Monaker’s proportional financial interest in RealBiz is reduced when shares of Monaker Dual convertible preferred stock and Monaker convertible debt are exchanged for RealBiz common shares.

 

After October 31, 2014, Monaker uses the equity method to account for our investment in this entity because Monaker does not control it, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over it. Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize (1) our proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment, (2) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received, and (3) impairment losses resulting from permanent adjustments to net estimated realizable value. Accordingly, we recorded our proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss as “Loss from proportionate share of investment in unconsolidated affiliate” on the consolidated statements of operations. During the one month ended November 30, 2014, Monaker recorded our allocated portions totaling $179,567 of RealBiz’s net loss of $414,705. Monaker continues to own RealBiz Preferred Series A stock and although the two companies share similar Directors, the companies are operating independently.

  

Monaker assesses the potential impairment of its equity method investments when indicators such as a history of operating losses, a negative earnings and cash flow outlook, and the financial condition and prospects for the investee’s business segment might indicate a loss in value. Monaker has not recognized any impairment loss on investment in unconsolidated affiliate to date.

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company incurred expenditures of $434,007 for website development costs as a new development team was brought in to assess the quality of the Nestbuilder website related to RealBiz. Upon their recommendation, significant changes, upgrades and modifications were recommended and have been ongoing since the post launch date of March 4, 2014. This capitalization falls with the scope of ASC 350-50-25-15 wherein costs of upgrades and enhancements should be capitalized as they will result in added functionality of the website.

 

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company incurred expenditures of $90,480 to develop a website portal to enhance access to travel related products, related to Monaker. It is anticipated that this portal will be placed into service by the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year.

 

On May 24, 2014, our subsidiary RealBiz entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with ReachFactor, Inc. (“ReachFactor”) and its two principals, Suresh Srinivasan and Arun Srinivasan pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ReachFactor and the Company assumed certain liabilities of ReachFactor not to exceed $25,000 in consideration of RBIZ's issuance to ReachFactor of 2,000,000 shares of RBIZ's common stock. The acquisition of the assets is subject to an unwind at the option of Suresh Srinivasan and Arun Srinivasan if on or prior to the date that is nine months after the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company terminates the employment of either of Suresh Srinivasan and/ or Arun Srinivasan (each referred to as an “Executive”) without cause or either Executive terminates his employment for good reason. In the event of an unwind, the assets revert back to ReachFactor and the 2,000,000 shares of stock revert back to RBIZ. The purpose for this acquisition was for RealBiz to obtain ReachFactor's intellectual property consisting of a web platform, along with ReachFactor's customer relationships and to facilitate the addition of ReachFactor's principals to the management of RealBiz.

 

The value of the common stock of RealBiz was based on the fair value of the stock at the closing date which was $0.15 per share and RBIZ capitalized $600,000 as intangible assets consisting of a web platform and a customer list, to be amortized over a three year period beginning June 1, 2014. The $600,000 included the capitalization of $300,000, related to the acquisition, representing the value of an additional 2,000,000 shares of RBIZ's common stock that were issued on the acquisition date to an escrow account and is considered as part of the purchase price consideration. These additional shares are to be released to Suresh Srinivasan and Arun Srinivasan at the rate of 500,000 shares every three months. The transaction represents an asset acquisition that is accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. On September 18, 2014, RealBiz received Suresh Srinivasan’s written resignation as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective September 30, 2014 and the outstanding 750,000 shares of RealBiz common stock, held in escrow, were returned on December 5, 2014. The Company impaired the remaining un-amortized cost of $125,000 representing Suresh's interest in the ReachFactor intangible assets.

Note 6 – Website Development Costs and Intangible Assets (continued)

 

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company incurred expenditures of $52,190 for software development costs, all related to RealBiz, to develop a mobile app called "EZ FLIX" as a tool to assist users in converting still pictures to video. The Company capitalized internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by "ASC 985-20-25" Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers anticipated to be available in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the greater of (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

 

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives, estimated to be 4 years, except for the website(s), which is 3 years. Amortization expense related to website development costs and intangible assets was $1,361,275, of which $1,236,275 was related to RealBiz, and $1,070,916 for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 12 – Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

 

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company:

 

·Received $375,000 in proceeds and issued new convertible promissory notes. In addition, the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debts by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date(s) using the effective conversion price of the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt. The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a total debt discount equal to $375,000 during the nine months ended November 30, 2014. The discount is amortized on a straight line basis from the dates of issuance until the stated redemption date of the debts. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded debt amortization expense in the amount of $444,316 and $26,804, respectively.

 

·Negotiated an assignment of $30,000 in principal owed to a note holder to a related party officer/director.

 

·Issued 700,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of $7,000 of principal held by a note holder.

 

·Executed a conversion of $155,000 of principal into 3,100,000 shares of RealBiz Media's common stock.

 

Convertible debt modification - non related party

 

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a note amendment with a lender affecting several outstanding convertible promissory notes totaling $6,012,526 in principal that is past due and $62,377 in accrued interest as of November 30, 2013. The agreement extended the maturity date of all the notes held by the lender to December 1, 2014 and allows the lender the right to extend the maturity date of each of the notes to December 1, 2015, provided that all quarterly interest payment are made by the due dates of January 15th, April 15th, July 15th and October 15th. Additionally, the agreement changed the conversion feature of each note held by the lender from the variable conversion rate based on market price to a fixed conversion rate of $0.50 per share. As part of the note amendment, the Company's subsidiary, RealBiz, issued 12,000,000 one (1) year warrants with an exercise price of $0.50. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized interest expense of $272,500 and $-0-, respectively. The Company applied the 10% cash flow test pursuant to Topic ASC 470-50-40-10 "Debt Modification and Extinguishment" to calculate the difference between the present value of the new loan's cash flows and the present value of the old loan's remaining cash flow and concluded that the results exceeded the 10% factor, the debt modification is considered substantially different and applied extinguishment accounting. Accordingly, the gain or loss on extinguishment should be measured by the difference between the carrying amount of the old debt and the fair value of the new debt. Additionally, Topic ASC 470-50-40-17 states if the exchange or modification is to be accounted for in the same manner as a debt extinguishment and the new debt instrument is initially recorded at fair value, then the fees paid or received shall be associated with the extinguishment of the old debt instrument and included in determining the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $4,809,308, the fair value of the new debt was determined to be $6,070,540 and the carrying amount of the old debt of principal and interest totaling $6,070,703 resulting in a total loss on the extinguishment of debt of $4,808,145. The fair value of the warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.35%, expected volatility of 324.34% with a one year life. The Company determined the fair value of the new debt by taking a weighted average of all the Company's existing convertible promissory notes interest rate for a discount rate, calculating that rate to be approximately 7% and computed the present value of the new debt's remaining cash flows.

 

On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a note amendment with a lender affecting several outstanding convertible promissory notes totaling $517,582 in principal that is currently due and $24,566 in accrued interest. The agreement extended the maturity date of all the notes held by the lender to July 17, 2015. The Company applied the 10% cash flow test pursuant to Topic ASC 470-50-40-10 to calculate the difference between the present value of the new loan's cash flows and the present value of the old loan's remaining cash flow and concluded that the results didn't exceed the 10% factor, the debt modification is not considered substantially different and did not apply extinguishment accounting, rather accounting for the modification on a prospective basis pursuant to Topic ASC 470-60-55-10. The carrying amount of the convertible promissory notes is not adjusted and the effects of the changes are to be reflected in future periods. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized interest expense of $22,791 and $-0-, respectively.

Convertible promissory note attributable to our former consolidated subsidiary

 

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, RealBiz Media Group, Inc.:

 

·Issued 1,366,666 shares, upon the noteholder's request, to convert $205,000 in principal.

 

·Issued 100,000 shares, upon the noteholder's request, to convert $15,000 in principal leaving a remaining principal balance of $60,000.

 

·On October 20, 2014, RealBiz issued a two (2) year, 7.5% convertible promissory note maturing on October 19, 2014 with a non-related third party investor valued at $150,000 and received $95,000 in cash proceeds net of $55,000 in loan origination fees included in the calculation of the debt discount. As an incentive, the Company issued 300,000 warrants to the holder with a two-year life and a relative fair value of approximately $14,760 to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, per share, at an exercise price of $0.17 per share included as part of the debt discount. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate between 0.94% and 1.51%, dividend yield of -0-%, volatility factor between 115.05% and 124.65% and an expected life of 1.5 years. The value of these warrants were charged to interest expense with the offset to additional paid-in-capital. The noteholder, at their option, has the right from time to time, and at any time on or prior to the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The conversion price means, the lower of the fixed conversion price of $0.20 or the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price shall mean 65% multiplied by the lowest of the VWAP (volume weighted average price) of the common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date. As required, the Company evaluated the conversion feature of the note and determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) and assigned a value of $80,240 as additional derivative liability expense. A total debt discount of $150,000 to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. Additionally, the Company accounted for the embedded conversion option liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard.  In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. Additionally, the Company determined the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. The initial fair value of the embedded conversion option liability associated with the funds received on October 20, 2014, was valued using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in an initial fair value of $314,543 and recorded as a current liability. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date the funds were received are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 359.58%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.37%, and (4) expected life of 2.00 years. The value of the conversion option liability underlying the convertible promissory note at November 30, 2014 was $285,753 and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model at November 30, 2014 are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 357.70%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.47%, and (4) expected life of 2.00 years. The Company recognized a gain from the decrease in the fair value of the conversion option liability in the amount of $28,790 during the nine months ended November 30, 2014, representing the change in fair value. The Company recognized a derivative liability expense of $234,303. Interest charged to operations relating to this note for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 was amounted to $8,755 and $0 respectively.

Legal Matters

 

The Company is otherwise involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to our business, including, among other things, matters involving breach of contract claims, intellectual property and other related claims employment issues, and vendor matters. The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

 

There is currently a case pending whereby the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Defendant”) is being sued for allegedly breaching a contract, which he signed in his role as the CEO of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Extraordinary Vacations Group, Inc. (“Extraordinary Vacations”). The case is being strongly contested. The Defendant filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint with prejudice and such motion has been argued before the judge in the case. The Company is currently awaiting the judge’s ruling at this time.

 

There is a case that was filed on December 2, 2013, whereby the Company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Twelfth Child Entertainment in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach, Florida alleging that Monaker owes 11,000 shares of Series D Preferred stock for a License Agreement.

Note 15 – Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification 280-16 “Segment Reporting”, established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and required selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products, services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Media and Travel. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Each segment has its own product manager but the overall operations are managed and evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision makers for the purpose of allocating the Company’s resources. The Company also has a corporate headquarters function, which does not meet the criteria of a reportable operating segment. Interest expense and corporate expenses are not allocated to the operating segments.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

 

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 

·Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

 

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

The following table sets forth the liabilities as of November 30, 2014, which are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

 

As required, they are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

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

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Where possible, we have tried to identify these forward looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intends,” or similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to important factors and risks including, but not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

This Report contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the SEC or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this Report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2014 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of November 30, 2014, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

 

Overview

 

Monaker Group is a digital media marketing company focusing on lifestyle enrichment for consumers in the Travel, Home and Employment sectors. Core to its marketing services are key elements including proprietary video-centered technology and established partnerships that enhance its reach. Video is quickly becoming consumers’ preferred method of searching and educating themselves prior to purchases. Monaker’s video creation technology and film libraries combine to create lifestyle video offerings that can be shared both to its customers and through “trusted distribution systems” of its major partners. Monaker holds licenses and/or expertise in the travel, real estate and employment sectors, allowing it to capture fees at the point of purchase while the majority of transactions are handled by Monaker’s partners, eliminating much of the typical overhead associated with fulfillment.

 

Monaker Group’s core holdings include Maupintour, Nexttrip.com, NameYourFee.com and prior to the October 31, 2014 deconsolidation RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz”). RealBiz generated revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. RealBiz also has four divisions: (i) its fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs, Inc.); (ii) Nestbuilder.com /Nestbuilder Agent its consumer and agent websites with over 1.6 million video listings and agent marketing platforms (iii) its Real Estate Virtual Tour, MicroVideo App and Media group and (iv) ReachFactor – its agent social media marketing division. The cornerstone of all four divisions is the proprietary technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music.

 

 37 

 

 

Presently, Monaker Group’s core holdings include three divisions: travel, employment and membership rewards, helping it to deliver marketing solutions to consumers at home, work and play:

 

Travel Division:

 

·Maupintour is the oldest luxury tour company in the US having a history of over 65 years of creating and booking tours and activity-focused trips, from private tours of the Vatican to bicycling in the Alps to wine- tasting in Italy. Maupintour books these trips and serves thousands of travel agents around the world.

 

·NEXT TRIP will provide access to travel video supported by full service travel divisions and key partnerships with multiple cruise and tour groups within the United States. It will include website and the introduction of a Mobile App tying key product offerings including the Home & Away Club platforms prior to year-end. Next Trip will use network original programs with thousands of hours of travel footage to create valuable and relevant content for its viewers. The Company also owns Cruise Shoppes and Stingy Travel allowing it to serve the entire travel spectrum with travel licenses including ARC, IATA, CLIA & Florida Seller of Travel.

 

·Voyage.tv was acquired to access the thousands of hours of travel footage shot in over 30 countries around the world. There are in excess of 15,000 clips of hotels, resorts, cruise and destination activities that can assist in the creation of travel video for education purposes.

 

Employment Division:

 

·NameYourFee.com On April 20, 2015, the Company along with Jasper Group Holdings, Inc. entered into a Joint Venture Agreement to utilize and develop www.NameYourFee.com website which provides tools for employment agencies to market their services. Next 1’s ownership in the Joint Venture is 51% and the Jasper Group is 49%. Each shares in capital contributions and well as participate in the net profits. NameYourFee.com is a next generation job recruiting solution that allows employers to specify the amount of commission they are willing to pay a recruiting firm for placing candidates. Recruiters can review the opportunity and accept or reject based upon their current order flow. Traditionally, recruiting firms charge up to 30% of the candidate’s first year salary but under this scenario the market can find and negotiate a fee solution. NameYourFee.com starts with a significant advantage through its ability to access significant databases in North America through Jasper Group’s related companies, such as the Job Channel Network and CandidateXchange. The immediate goal is to continue to grow these partnerships along with integrating the first video candidate solution by contracting rights for the employment vertical utilizing Realbiz Media Group, Inc. patented video technology platforms that allow it to process over 500,000 images an hour and convert pictures to video and text to voice in order to create an automated video. Additionally, the Company has developed the Ezflix video app which will be modified for the employment arena allowing both job candidate and companies to create, review and share video. The Jasper Group principles include Joe Abrams (co-founder of the parent company of My Space).

 

Membership Rewards Division:

 

·The Home & Away Club is a membership platform that operates similar to a “Costco Model” where goods are sold at close to cost and operational profit is derived from membership fees. The club is designed to aid both home owners and private label affinity groups alike. Club offerings are far reaching as they give members access to all of existing travel product lines including Cruises, Hotels and Resorts, Airfare, and Car Rental. The Club also has a comprehensive lineup of Lifestyle offerings that include Golf, Skiing, Wine Clubs, High End Merchandise, Sports, Concert and Entertainment Tickets, Cosmetics, Spa, and Wellness programs. During this quarter the club will be introducing roughly 1 million new home services and products. Notably, all Club products carry a best value guarantee, and savings to the member can be substantial. The Company also sells Home & Away Club membership to real estate agents as a means to allow them to benefit their customers and stay in contact with them through the rewards program. With the Home & Away Club, agents can earn dollars for completing actions and can receive greatly discounted gifts to give to their happy clients.

 

 38 

 

 

Previous to the deconsolidation date of October 31, 2014, our former subsidiary RealBiz focused on real estate media advertising and engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. RealBiz Media generated revenue from advertising revenues and through real estate agent and broker service fees. RealBiz positioned itself in the following eight areas summarized here and explained in more detail below:

 

1.     Nestbuilder Agent: to Agent Interaction-From an industry perspective we believe that our developed website will be revolutionary because it includes an agent only platform that is designed to allow for agent to agent interaction, and includes an “App Store” for relevant video content, community events, discount coupons, industry news and agent share programs. This site will completely empower the real estate agent with content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads at a fraction of the cost they are currently paying. This agent only site will also interact with our Microvideo App (MVA) platform.

 

2.     Ezflix Mobile App: The Ezflix app is the only mobile/web video editor that pre-integrates with an agent’s listing data, allowing them to edit all of their listing’s data, and convert them into video with live video interstitial capabilities, audio recording and music. Ezflix can then share videos to all social media, email, and even portals such as NestBuilder – giving agents a way to personalize their listing videos with entertaining local relevant content. This application, both Web and Mobile, will be complete in 2015 when we combine our VT (Virtual Tour) and MVA (MicroVideo App) platform into one solution and distribute to multiple partners and resellers including Photographer and Videographer service providers’ network.

 

3.     The Virtual Tour (VT) and MicroVideo App (MVA): was developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise systems and/or their brokers. This solution gives those franchises and brokers a much needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition. Currently, the strategy is to migrate our current client base of VT users to MVA’s and combine the total core offering into our EzFlix Mobile and Web based application in 2015.

 

4.     NestBuilder: The world’s largest real estate video portal with over 1 million listings and rapidly growing to over 2 million. Unlike other leaders in the space that agents are seeking legitimate alternatives to, NestBuilder focuses on building agent’s brands and delivering high-quality leads. They achieve this by offering fully customizable webpages that will follow their homebuyer throughout the home search, ultimately turning NestBuilder.com into each agent’s very own national portal.

 

5.     NestBuilder Mobile Search App: The app is currently in private testing and will be available to the public by the end of the year. The app’s core competency allows consumers to enter in their agent’s name, and effectively turn the NestBuilder app into the agent’s very own application where their branding follows the consumer along their home search journey, everywhere they go.

 

6.     ReachFactor: A recently acquired full-marketing agency that specializes in real estate. ReachFactor offers a variety of solutions to agents and brokers such as web design, digital ad campaigns, blogging, social media management, reputation management, search engine optimization and much more.

 

7.     Enterprise Video Production: We service some of the largest and well known Franchisor accounts in the North America Real Estate Market in compiling listings into a Video format and distributing to those franchisors websites, brokers and agents and lead generation platforms 24/7. Some of these multiyear contracts have the company producing over 10 million video listings from 2012-2014 and will be eclipsing that production in 2015 alone. This core area significantly contributes to the company’s growth not only in this core service but continues to allow us access to national databases and directly agents and brokers to allow the company access to upgrades and upsell other core products and services.

 

8.     Home and Away Club: RealBiz excels at beginning and closing the agent-buyer relationship, but the reality of real estate is that the average homebuyer looks for a new home once every 5 years. That’s why RealBiz has created the Home and Away Club so they can offer agents a means to stay in contact once the house is sold with a rewards program. With the Home and Away club, they can earn dollars for completing actions and can receive greatly discounted gifts to give to their happy clients.

 

Recent Acquisitions/Deconsolidation

 

At February 28, 2014, the Company owned a 61% interest in RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz”), which owned an 85% interest in RealBiz Holdings, Inc. On October 31, 2014, the Company’s interest dropped to 43% in RealBiz. These entities’ accounts are no longer consolidated in the accompanying financial statements because we no longer have a controlling financial interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The 57% non-controlling interest in RealBiz is represented by 1,009,762 shares of RealBiz Series A Preferred Stock with an annual dividend rate of 10% and 85,799,012 shares of RealBiz common stock issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2014.

Sufficiency of Cash Flows

 

Because current cash balances and our projected cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, management intends to seek additional equity or obtain additional credit facilities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional capital upon terms acceptable to us. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we evaluate potential acquisitions of such businesses, products or technologies.

The increase was primarily due to a an increase in the gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $9,711,130 an increase in gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary of $6,255,188 and a decrease in loss on settlement of debt of $3,319,446. Included in the net income for the nine months ended November 30, 2014, is $2,017,039 of net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At November 30, 2014, we had $3,267 cash on-hand, a decrease of $114,551 from $117,818 at the start of fiscal 2015. The decrease in cash was due primarily to operating expenses, website development costs and advances to affiliates.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,313,717 for the nine months ended November 30, 2014, a decrease of $1,308,494 from $3,622,211 used during the nine months ended November 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to the gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary and forgiveness of debt of former subsidiary, loss on conversion of debt, loss on debt modification, stock based compensation and consulting fees and gain on change in fair value of derivatives and net income applicable to Monaker Group.

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $599,257 for the nine months ended November 30, 2014, compared to $589,579 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, an increase of $9,678 , primarily due to incurring website development costs and the purchase of computer equipment and a notes receivable advance.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $2,286,649 to $2,797,507, for the nine months ended November 30, 2014, compared to $5,084,156 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to the net decrease of proceeds in the issuance of common stock and the exercise of warrants of $2,486,164 and to a lesser extent a decrease in proceeds of the issuance of shares of preferred stock of $404,000 offset by increases in proceeds, net of payments, of $603,115 received for convertible promissory notes, loans and shareholder advances.

 

The growth and development of our business will require a significant amount of additional working capital. We currently have limited financial resources and based on our current operating plan, we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital upon terms that are acceptable to us. We currently do not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term objectives. In the event additional capital is raised, it may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

 

We are a media company focusing on travel utilizing multiple media platforms including the Internet, radio and television. As a company that has recently changed our business model, we are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. Due to the absence of an operating history under the new business model and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams. Our multi-platform media revenue model is new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven. Our ability to generate revenues depends, among other things, on our ability to create enough viewership to provide advertisers, sponsors, travelers and homebuyers value. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, achieve or sustain profitability, or continue as a going concern.

 

We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support our on-going operations and increased market penetration of travel, employment and membership rewards divisions including the development of national sales representation for national and global advertising and sponsorships, increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support the business. We believe that in the aggregate, we will need approximately $750,000 to $1.5 million to repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and satisfy payment obligations, office space and systems required to manage the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from advertising, sponsorships, e-commerce, travel and real estate are fully- implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising the required capital to complete this portion of our business plan.

Since our inception, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from the private equity financings. We have issued these shares without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder because the issuance did not involve a public offering of securities. The shares were sold solely to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D thereunder. Currently, revenues provide less than 20% of our cash requirements. The remaining cash need is derived from raising additional capital. The current monthly cash burn rate is approximately $200,000, with the expectation of profitability by the end of fiscal 2016.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market Risk

 

This represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument because of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. We do not currently have any trading derivatives nor do we expect to have any in the future. We have established policies and internal processes related to the management of market risks, which we use in the normal course of our business operations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of November 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(i)  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

(ii)  provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and

 

(iii)  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Additionally, we have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert which represents a material weakness as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on June 13, 2014. Due to liquidity issues, we have not been able to immediately take any action to remediate this material weakness. However, when conditions allow, we intend to expand our board of directors and establish an independent audit committee consisting of individuals with industry experience including a qualified financial expert. Notwithstanding the assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that there was a material weakness as identified herein, we believe that our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
