Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

1. Description of Business and Going Concern

Description of Business

Frankly Inc. (“Frankly”) has been operating since the incorporation of its predecessor, TicToc Planet Inc., on September 10, 2012. These consolidated financial statements include Frankly and its subsidiaries (Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC), together referred to as the “Company.”

The Company helps TV broadcasters and media companies transform their traditional business from just delivering content over- the-air via broadcast television to distributing content in multi-platform, digital formats on new platforms such as mobile, tablets, desktop and other connected devices. The Company’s core product is a white-labeled software platform that enables media companies to publish their official content onto multiscreen devices, increase social interaction on those multiscreen experiences, and enable digital advertising. The platform consists of a content management system (“CMS”) platform, native mobile and over-the-top (“OTT”) applications, responsive web framework, digital video solutions and digital advertising solutions. The Company generates revenues by charging monthly recurring software licensing fees, variable usage fees for our platform and sharing digital advertising revenue with our customers.

Going Concern

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $74.6 million, representative of recurring losses since inception. Additionally, the Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception when excluding changes in working capital. Beginning January 1, 2018, the billing for all services provided to Raycom are being applied to the advance agreement balance as of December 31, 2017 in the amount of $4,896,585 ($3,805,278 as of March 31, 2018) and Raycom will not be required to make cash payments for services provided by the Company until the balance has been fully repaid. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of its financial statements.

To reduce its operating cash needs, in February 2018, the Company executed a reduction-in-force that removed approximately 20 full-time employees from its headcount. In addition, the Company subleased its remaining office space in San Francisco, CA and is pursuing other areas where operating expenses can be reduced. On March 13, 2018, the Company received $1 million under the existing credit agreement with Raycom, bringing the total outstanding principal balance under the credit agreement to $15.5 million. On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment of the 2016 credit agreement, whereby Raycom will provide the Company with an additional $7.5 million of funding, to be paid in installments over a six-month period, subject to the Company’s achievement of certain operational milestones. The $1.0 million advanced to the Company on March 13, 2018 is included in the additional $7.5 million funding noted above. Upon the Company’s receipt of all of the additional funding under the amended credit agreement, the total outstanding principal balance under the amended credit agreement would be $22.0 million. The additional credit facility will be primarily used to get the Company current with its vendor and customer national revenue share payables as well as offset the operational cash outflow associated with the utilization of the $3.8 million advance agreement balance as of March 31, 2018 discussed above. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the operational milestones to obtain the additional advances from Raycom, or that those advances, if obtained, will provide adequate funding to sustain the Company’s operations and execute its business plan through the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Frankly Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent period.

Frankly Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, included within the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Risk

Accounts receivable are subject to credit risk and as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, two customers each accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. In total, these customers accounted for 40% and 26% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Additionally, approximately 42% and 38% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was generated from two customers, that each accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. In addition, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $757,806 and $70,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act of 2012. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can selectively delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, as a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period at any time, which election is irrevocable.

ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The new topic will replace Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The topic is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards to reconcile previously differing treatment between U.S. practices and those of the rest of the world and to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, for private companies; this effective date is applicable for the Company due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Therefore, the Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019 and plans to use the modified retrospective method. The Company will further evaluate during 2018, the anticipated impact of the adoption of this updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Frankly Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

ASU 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for leases with accounting lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will replace most existing lease accounting guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard states that a lessee will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company as an EGC in 2020 and requires the modified retrospective method of adoption. Although the Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

ASU 2016-18: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company as an EGC in 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted

ASU 2016-15: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments — In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which provides guidance related to cash flows presentation and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, subject to early adoption, which is permitted using a retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-15 is intended to standardize the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows, and was effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisition of Worldnow

On July 28, 2015, the Company signed an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase all of the outstanding units of Gannaway Web Holdings LLC, operating as Worldnow, for total consideration of $45,000,000. On August 25, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Worldnow. Subsequent to the acquisition, Worldnow changed its name to Frankly Media LLC. The acquisition of Worldnow was made primarily to extend the reach of Frankly to Worldnow’s existing customer base within the local broadcast marketplace.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $10,000,000 in cash, issued $20,000,000 in Class A restricted voting shares of the Company (the “Share Consideration”) and executed promissory notes to two shareholders of Worldnow bearing simple interest at a rate of 5 percent per year and agreed to pay $15,000,000 on August 31, 2016 (Note 7).

4. Restructuring Expense

Following an extensive process to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives, the Company’s Board of Directors, led by the Strategic Committee, determined the best path for the Company at that time was to pursue internal growth opportunities and focus on further optimizing its operations. In an effort to reduce its operating cash needs, in February 2018, the Company executed a reduction-in-force that removed approximately 20 full-time employees from its headcount. In addition, the Company subleased its remaining office space in San Francisco, CA and is pursuing other areas where operating expenses can be reduced. The restructuring also included a reorganization of the senior management team. Effective April 12, 2018, the Company’s CEO resigned and was succeeded by the Company’s former COO and CFO. A number of other senior management changes were implemented on the same date. The restructuring plan is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2018. The Company accounted for the one-time termination benefits and certain contract costs in accordance with ASC 420 – Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.

The following table summarizes the changes in the restructuring liability (included in accrued expenses) for the periods presented, by each major type of cost associated with the restructuring activity:

	One-time
	Termination			Contract
	Benefits			Costs		Total
Balance, December 31, 2017	$	-		$	-	$	-

5. Related Party Transactions and Balances

The Company has several significant shareholders as follows: Raycom Media Inc. (“Raycom”), SKP America LLC (“SKP America”) and Gannaway Entertainment Inc. (“GEI”) which each owned approximately 23.7%, 23.7% and 7.7%, respectively, as of March 31, 2018 and 24.6%, 24.5% and 8.0%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017 of the aggregate common shares and Class A restricted voting shares.

Raycom

As partial consideration for the acquisition of Worldnow on August 25, 2015, the Company issued a $4,000,000 promissory note to Raycom and 397,126 Class A restricted voting shares (Note 3). The note bore interest at 5% per annum and was due on August 31, 2016 (Note 7). Raycom was a customer and significant shareholder of Worldnow and, subsequent to the acquisition of Worldnow, remains a customer and significant shareholder of Frankly. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, revenue-related transactions and balances with Raycom arose in the ordinary course of business.

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the closing of its financing with Raycom (Note 7). The Company received a non-revolving term line of credit from Raycom in the principal amount of $14.5 million and, subject to approval of Raycom, an additional available $1.5 million non-revolving line of credit (collectively, the “Loan”). The proceeds were used to pay down $14 million of the $15 million outstanding promissory notes. In addition, Raycom converted the remaining $1.0 million of its existing $4.0 million promissory note from the Company into 150,200 common shares of the Company and the Company issued 871,160 common share purchase warrants to Raycom. The Loan was recorded at fair value of $11,578,593 with the remaining $2,921,407 being allocated to the warrants. On March 13, 2018, the Company received $1 million of the additional $1.5 million available under the Loan, bringing the total outstanding principal balance to $15.5 million. The carrying value of the Loan at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs, was $13,672,478 and $12,155,573, respectively. Interest expense on the Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, amounted to $516,904 and $510,080 and is presented within interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

7. Debt

Non-revolving Credit Facility

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the closing of its financing with Raycom, a related party (Note 5). The Company received a non-revolving term line of credit from Raycom in the principal amount of $14.5 million and, subject to approval of Raycom, an additional available $1.5 million non-revolving line of credit. In addition, Raycom converted $1.0 million of its existing $4.0 million promissory note from the Company into 150,200 common shares of the Company and the Company issued 871,160 warrants to Raycom entitling the holder of each warrant to acquire one common share of the Company upon exercise of each warrant at a price per common share equal to CDN$8.50 ($6.63 based on the exchange rate at August 18, 2016). The warrants will expire on the earlier of: (i) the repayment of the Loan in accordance with its terms; and (ii) 5 years. To the extent that there is a mandatory repayment of any portion of the principal balance of the Loan, a proportionate number of the warrants will have their term reduced to the later of one year from issuance and 30 days from the date of such repayment. On March 13, 2018, the Company received $1 million of the additional $1.5 million available under the Loan, bringing the total outstanding principal balance to $15.5 million.

The warrants were recorded within shareholders’ equity (deficit) in accordance with ASC 470-20 - Debt With Conversion and Other Options. Proceeds from the sale of the debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The value allocated to the Loan with Raycom was $11,578,593 with the remaining $2,921,407 being allocated to the warrants. The fair value of the 871,160 warrants issued were estimated based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, using the following assumptions: 1) Dividend yield of 0%, 2) Risk free rate of 0.66% for 751,000 warrants and 0.56% for 120,160 warrants, 3) Volatility of 71.14%, 4) Expected term of 5 years for 751,000 warrants and 7 months for 120,160 warrants, and 5) Forfeiture rate of 0%.

The debt discount of $2,921,407 is being amortized to interest expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss using the effective-interest method. Amortization of debt discount included in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $144,099 and $145,436, respectively. In accordance with ASC 470-50 - Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company accounted for the refinancing transaction as an extinguishment of debt. The Company incurred legal fees directly related to the refinancing of $206,805, which were recorded as deferred financing costs and recorded against the carrying value of the Loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $10,340 and $7,110, respectively.

Prior to the completion of the financing arrangements, Raycom held 397,125 voting shares of the Company, which represented approximately 21% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company. Immediately following the completion of the financing transactions, Raycom held 547,325 voting shares of the Company and 871,160 warrants, which collectively represented approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company on a non-diluted basis.

The proceeds of the Loan were used to pay off the outstanding $15.0 million of promissory notes issued by the Company in connection with the 2015 acquisition of Worldnow, including $3.0 million of the $4.0 million of such notes issued to Raycom, with the remaining $1.0 million promissory note balance owed to Raycom being converted to common shares of the Company as described above.

The Loan has a five-year term and is secured by the grant of a security interest in the Company’s assets, a pledge of shares of the Company’s subsidiaries and a guarantee by the Company’s subsidiaries secured by their assets. Simultaneously, the Company and Raycom also entered into a software code escrow agreement. The software code escrow agreement required the Company to provide source code of its software products with a third party escrow agent.

Interest on outstanding balances of the Loan will accrue at a rate of 10% per annum, with a default interest rate of 12% per annum. The Loan is subject to certain scheduled mandatory principal repayments, with additional mandatory repayments occurring upon the Company’s raising of additional financing, sales of assets and excess cash flow.

In addition, the Company must maintain certain leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company is also subject to certain covenants relating to, among others, indebtedness, fundamental corporate changes, dispositions, acquisitions and distributions. On December 27, 2017, the Loan was amended to extend the period for commencement of the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants from the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2017 to the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2018. On March 28, 2018, the Loan was amended to extend the period for commencement of the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants from the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2018 to the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2019 and agreed that interest payments on the outstanding Loan balance for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and continuing thereafter will be suspended, and each such suspended interest payment will be added to the principal balance of the Loan, and the 12% rate for overdue interest will not apply to such suspended interest. In connection with the above, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company accrued interest expense of $362,466, which is presented within non-revolving credit facility, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 as these amounts will not be paid within one year from the condensed consolidated balance sheet date.

Upon an event of default, Raycom may by written notice terminate the facility immediately and declare all obligations under the Loan, whether matured or not, to be immediately due and payable. Raycom may also as and by way of collateral security, deposit and retain in an interest bearing account, amounts received by Raycom from the Company under the Loan and realize upon the security interest agreements, guaranty agreements and pledge agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 77,973 common shares for employee and director restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vested.

Stock-Based Compensation

Description of the Plan

On October 20, 2017, the Company adopted an amended and restated equity incentive plan (the “Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan amends the equity incentive plan, effective as of October 1, 2017, by replacing the compensation plan limit with a fixed total limit of 435,000 common shares that may be granted under option and RSU awards.

Options may be exercised over periods of up to 10 years as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) and the exercise price shall not be less than the closing price of the shares on the day preceding the award date. Option awards generally vest over four years with one year cliff vesting.

The Restated Plan allows the Company to award RSUs to officers, employees, directors and consultants of Frankly and its subsidiaries upon such conditions as the Board may establish, including the attainment of performance goals recommended by the Company’s compensation committee. The purchase price for common shares of the Company issuable under each RSU award, if any, shall be established by the Board at its discretion. Shares issued pursuant to any RSU award may be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of service requirements, conditions, restrictions, time periods or performance goals established by the Board.

Overview

Our mission is to help TV broadcasters and media companies transform their traditional business from just delivering content over-the-air via broadcast television to distributing content in multi-platform, digital formats on new platforms such as mobile, tablets, desktop and other connected devices. Our core product is a white-labeled software platform that enables media companies to publish their official content onto multiscreen devices, increase social interaction on those multiscreen experiences, and enable digital advertising. The platform consists of a CMS platform, native mobile and OTT applications, responsive web framework, digital video solutions and digital advertising solutions.

We generate revenues by charging monthly recurring software licensing fees, variable usage fees for our platform and sharing digital advertising revenue with our customers. We enter into written contracts with our customers pursuant to which we provide access to our online, software-as-a-service, content management platform. These contracts typically cover the use of the platform and ancillary services such as delivery and storage of video content, and access to ad-serving and analytics functionality. Many of these agreements also grant us the right to sell online advertising inventory on behalf of the customer pursuant to a revenue sharing arrangement with the customer. Our agreements are generally for a three-year term and do not provide for early termination rights. We bill our customers monthly or quarterly for the fees associated with the software license, and monthly in arrears for variable usage fees incurred by a customer’s use of our platform. We generally make advertising revenue share payments to our customers on a quarterly basis.

Our platform is currently being used by approximately 200 U.S. local news stations, mostly affiliated with large broadcasting networks such as NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC. We plan to enhance our platform in the future by expanding our offerings to other media verticals and international markets, together with investments into channel partnerships, sales and marketing, enhanced data analytics and innovative advertising products.

Trends Affecting Our Business

Our primary customers today are local affiliate TV stations, which as an industry, are undergoing consolidation which we believe will continue in the coming years. This would result in a contraction of the number of customers available to use our services in this particular customer segment, although not necessarily in the total aggregate value of the addressable market size of this segment. In parallel, the local affiliate TV stations are facing increasing competition from companies that deliver video content over the internet, commonly referred to as “over-the-top,” or OTT. The increased competition includes both direct competition from other local affiliate TV stations that are keeping pace with these changing trends and early adoption of OTT alternatives for their user base, as well as new competitors which include a range of players from an individual YouTube star at one end, to large well-funded technology enabled companies such as Netflix, Hulu, Google, Apple and Amazon.

17

With such growth of OTT programming, consumers’ video content consumption preferences may shift away from existing viewing habits. As a result, many of our customers and potential customers are compelled to find new ways to deliver services and content to their consumers via the internet. We expect this pressure to become even greater as more video content becomes available online. As our customers typically do not have adequate resources in-house to adapt to this changing landscape, we expect to benefit from this trend as customers adopt our solutions to enable digital media and OTT services using our multi-platform technology and services. In fact, customers are enhancing / upgrading their websites to use the internet to deliver rich media content, such as newscasts and weather updates, to attract advertisers and to compete with other internet sites and smart phone and tablet device applications and other social media outlets.

We also see the growth of non-traditional media players that is driven by the availability of less expensive content production and distribution methods. With technology advances in the tools and platforms that enable content producers to produce content with less people and financial resources, content is further becoming more democratized. We expect our results of operations to benefit from this trend as our software-as-a-service platform further enables content producers to leverage technology to produce, distribute and monetize their content.

Another trend affecting our customers and our business is the proliferation of internet-connected devices, especially mobile devices. Smartphones, tablets and connected TVs have made it more convenient for consumers to access services and content online, including television programming. To remain competitive, our customers and potential customers must have the capability to deliver their services and products to consumers on these new devices. Our technology enables them to extend their presence beyond traditional personal computers, and we expect that some portion of our revenue growth will come from traffic on these devices.

Our business is also affected by growth in advertising on the Internet, for which the proliferation of high-speed internet access and internet-connected devices will be the principal drivers. As such, we expect to see growth in new platforms such as mobile, tablets, Internet-connected TVs, and other emerging platforms that require an advertising solutions like ours. We expect our results of operations will benefit from the growth in the number of new platforms as our customers adopt these new platforms to drive their business growth.

Key Metrics

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements, we monitor the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We monitor Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to analyze our financial results and believe that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, we use this measure to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it may not be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, further, adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results.

18

The following unaudited table presents the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

● Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash and non-cash charges that are recurring;

● Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that would reduce cash available to us;

● Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; and

● Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including revenues, net income (loss) and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive our revenue from three categories: recurring fee based revenue for use of our platform (including license fees and usage fees), revenue generated from digital advertising activities (national and local advertising) and professional services revenue.

License fees and usage fees

We enter into license agreements with customers for our CMS, video software, mobile and OTT applications. These license agreements, generally non-cancellable and multiyear, provide the customer with the right to use our application solely on a company-hosted platform or, in certain instances, on purchased encoders. The license agreements also entitle the customer to technical support. Revenue from these license agreements, which are accounted for as service arrangements, is recognized ratably over the license term.

19

We charge our customers for the optional use of our content delivery network to stream and store videos. Revenue from these fees is recognized as earned based on actual usage because it has stand-alone value and delivery is in the control of the customer. We also charge our customers for the use of our ad serving platform to serve ads under local advertising campaigns. We report revenue as earned based on the actual usage.

National and local advertising

Under national advertising agreements with advertisers, we source, create, and place advertising campaigns that run across our network of publisher sites. National advertising revenue, net of third-party costs, is shared with publishers based on their respective contractual agreements. We invoice national advertising amounts due from advertisers and remit payments to publishers for their share. Depending on the agreement with the publisher, the obligation to remit payment to the publisher is based on either billing to the advertiser or the collection of cash from the advertiser. National advertising revenue is recognized in the period during which the ad impressions are delivered. We report revenue earned through national advertising agreements either on a net or gross basis in accordance with ASC Subtopic 605-45, Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations. Under national advertising agreements wherein we do not bear inventory risk and only have credit risk on our portion of the revenue, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a net basis and the publisher is identified as the customer. Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, we began amending certain advertising agreements with our publishers to take on inventory risk and additional credit risk. Under these revised agreements, we either a) provide the publisher with a guaranteed minimum gross selling price per advertising unit delivered, wherein the greater of the actual selling price or guaranteed minimum selling price is used in determining the publisher’s share or b) provide the publisher with a fixed rate per advertising unit delivered, wherein the publisher is paid the fixed rate per advertising unit delivered irrespective of the actual selling price. Under these national advertising agreements, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a gross basis with the advertiser identified as the customer and the publisher identified as a supplier, with amounts billed to the advertiser reported as revenue and amounts due to the publisher reported as a revenue sharing expense, within cost of revenue.

Under local advertising agreements with customers, we provide local ad sales consulting and support services in exchange for monthly fees over the term of the agreement. The fees are established in the agreement with the customer in one of three ways: fixed annual amounts for an unlimited number of advertisers, flat fee paid per advertiser, or a commission rate of the local advertising revenue paid by the advertiser. Fixed amounts are recognized as revenue ratably over the contract term, and flat fee and commission-based amounts are recognized as revenue based on the revenue earned for each respective period based on actual delivery of the local advertising campaigns.

Professional services

Professional services consist primarily of installation and website design services. Installation fees are contracted on a fixed-fee basis. We recognize revenue as services are performed. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the product. Website design services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to website design is recognized as revenue as we perform the services.

Costs and expenses

Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Cost of revenue consists of the following: compensation-related expenses of employees, primarily our client services personnel, and outsourced services that directly service our customers, infrastructure costs, licenses and computer support used directly in the delivery of service, content delivery and storage costs including ad serving costs, fees paid for content and revenue sharing expenses related to national advertising revenue.

20

General and administrative (excluding depreciation and amortization)

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation-related expenses for executive management, finance, accounting, legal and human resources, professional fees and other administrative functions. It also includes certain technology overhead expenses that are not considered to be part of research and development expenses.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation-related expenses to our direct sales and marketing personnel, as well as costs related to advertising, industry conferences, and other sales and marketing programs. Advertising cost is expensed as incurred.

Research and development (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation-related expenses to employees and outsourced services incurred for the research and development of, enhancements to, and maintenance and operation of our products, equipment and related infrastructure. Research and development expenses are reported net of amounts capitalized as software development costs. We account for our software development costs as internal-use software in accordance with ASC 350-40 – Intangibles, Goodwill and other Internal-Use Software because software usage by our customers is cloud-based. Development costs that do not meet the criteria of ASC 350-40 are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of our computer hardware and software, office equipment, leasehold improvements, capitalized software development costs and intangible assets.

Other expenses

Other expenses are comprised of items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results, such as costs incurred in integration efforts, legal or other settlements, abandoned financing transactions, corporate restructuring and employee retention.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net consists of interest on debt and capital leases, net of interest income.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense consists of federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions, as well as any changes to deferred tax assets or liabilities, and deferred tax valuation allowances.

Total Revenue	$	5,761,858	$	6,359,154	$	(597,296	)

License fees

License fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $2.4 million compared to $2.5 million for the comparable period of 2017, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was due to a small number of customer losses on CMS license fees, partially offset by growth in our next generation mobile and OTT application license fees.

Advertising

Advertising revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.4 million compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period of 2017, a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in local advertising services between the two periods.

Usage fees

Usage fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $0.7 million compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period of 2017, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in content delivery network fees between the two periods and correlates with the reduction in CMS license fees discussed above.

22

Professional services and other

Professional services and other for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period of 2017, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was due to less ad hoc professional services engagements in the 2018 period.

Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $2.7 million. There was no significant change between the periods presented.

General and administrative (excluding depreciation and amortization)

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.5 million compared to $1.9 million for the comparable period of 2017, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase was primarily due to a bad debt reserve in the amount of $0.7 million made in the first quarter of 2018 relating to one advertising customer. The above increase was partially offset by the headcount reduction related to the Company wide reduction-in-force (“RIF”) which was implemented by the Company in mid February 2018 along with reduction in rent and rent related expenses associated with the San Francisco office.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.5 million compared to $0.7 million for the comparable period of 2017, a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to headcount reduction related to the Company wide RIF which was implemented by the Company in mid February 2018.

Research and development (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1.1 million compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period of 2017, an increase of approximately $0.3 million. The increase was primarily due to increases in outsourced research and development related to acceleration of our product roadmap. This was partially offset by headcount reduction related to the Company wide RIF which was implemented by the Company in mid February 2018.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. There was no significant change between the periods presented.

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.5 million compared to $0 for the comparable period of 2017, an increase of approximately $0.5 million. The increase was primarily due to the Company wide RIF which was implemented by the Company in mid February 2018. The expenses included in this line item represent one-time termination benefits (severance) for employees that were a part of the RIF. In addition, restructuring expense also included contract termination fees for one vendor.

Retention expense

Retention expense was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $0 for the comparable period of 2017, an increase of approximately $0.6 million. The increase was due to $588,000 relating to our employee retention plan which was rolled out in connection with the strategic investor search in the fourth quarter of 2017.

23

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. There was no significant change between the periods presented.

Income tax expense

No income tax expense was recognized during the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our cash requirements (including acquisitions) primarily through the issuance of securities and convertible promissory notes. As of March 31, 2018, we had total current assets of approximately $4.1 million and total current liabilities of approximately $12.6 million. As of March 31, 2018, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and trade accounts receivable. Our cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable, net balances as of March 31, 2018 were $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $74.6 million representative of recurring losses since inception. Additionally, we have not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception when excluding changes in working capital. Beginning January 1, 2018, the billing for all services provided to Raycom are being applied to the advance agreement balance as of December 31, 2017 in the amount of $4,896,585 ($3,805,278 as of March 31, 2018) and Raycom will not be required to make cash payments for services provided by us until the balance has been fully repaid. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of our financial statements.

To reduce our operating cash needs, in February 2018, we executed a RIF that removed approximately 20 full-time employees from our headcount. In addition, we subleased our remaining office space in San Francisco, CA and are pursuing other areas where operating expenses can be reduced. On March 13, 2018, we received $1 million under the existing credit agreement with Raycom, bringing the total outstanding principal balance under the credit agreement to $15.5 million. On May 8, 2018, we entered into an amendment of the 2016 credit agreement, whereby Raycom will provide us with an additional $7.5 million of funding, to be paid in installments over a six-month period, subject to our achievement of certain operational milestones. The $1.0 million advanced to us on March 13, 2018 is included in the additional $7.5 million funding noted above. Upon our receipt of all of the additional funding under the amended credit agreement, the total outstanding principal balance under the amended credit agreement would be $22.0 million. The additional credit facility will be primarily used to get us current with our vendor and customer national revenue share payables as well as offset the operational cash outflow associated with the utilization of the $3.8 million advance agreement balance as of March 31, 2018 discussed above. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the operational milestones to obtain the additional advances from Raycom, or that those advances, if obtained, will provide adequate funding to sustain our operations and execute our business plan through the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.8 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.4 million for the comparable period of 2017, a decrease in cash used of $0.6 million. The decrease in cash used resulted primarily from an increase of $1.8 million in changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million of net loss adjusted to add back non-cash charges.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.7 million compared to $0.6 million for the comparable period of 2017, an increase in cash used of $0.1 million. The increase was due to an increase of $0.1 million in capitalized software costs.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1.0 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the comparable period of 2017, an increase in cash provided of $1.1 million. The increase was due to an increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1.0 million. On March 13, 2018, we received $1 million of the additional $1.5 million available under the existing credit facility with Raycom, bringing the total outstanding principal balance to $15.5 million.

Unit Purchase Agreement and Worldnow Promissory Notes

On July 28, 2015, we signed an agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) to purchase the outstanding units of Gannaway Web Holdings, LLC, operating as Worldnow, pursuant to which we issued the Worldnow Promissory Notes to Gannaway Entertainment Inc. (“GEI”) and Raycom Media, Inc. (“Raycom”) in the aggregate principal amounts of $11 million and $4 million, respectively, as partial consideration for their respective membership interests in Gannway Web Holdings, LLC. The Worldnow Promissory Notes bore simple interest at a rate of 5% per year.

The August 2016 Refinancing

On August 31, 2016, we entered into a $14.5 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) under a credit agreement, as amended on December 20, 2016, March 30, 2017, May 25, 2017, October 25, 2017, December 27, 2017 and March 28, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”) with Raycom. The proceeds of the Credit Facility were used to pay in full the $11 million promissory note (the “GEI Promissory Note”) issued to GEI and $3 million of the $4 million promissory note issued to Raycom (the “Original Raycom Note” and together with the GEI Promissory Note, the “Worldnow Promissory Notes”), each issued in connection with the acquisition of Gannaway Web Holdings, LLC, now Frankly Media. In addition, we issued to Raycom warrants to purchase 871,160 common shares (the “Raycom Warrants”) at a price per share of CDN$8.50 ($6.63 based on the exchange rate at August 18, 2016) and repaid in full our $2.0 million outstanding revolving credit facility with Bridge Bank (the “Bridge Bank Loan”). Subject to Raycom’s discretion, we also have an additional $1.5 million available for borrowing under the Credit Facility. We also entered into a share purchase agreement, as amended on December 20, 2016 and March 30, 2017 (the “Raycom SPA”) pursuant to which we converted $1 million of the Original Raycom Note into 150,200 common shares. We refer to these transactions as the “August 2016 Refinancing”.

Securities Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Raycom SPA, we issued to Raycom an aggregate of 150,200 common shares for a purchase price of CDN$1,276,700 (or $1 million based on the exchange rate at August 18, 2016) in repayment of $1 million of the Original Raycom Note. Raycom’s 397,125 Class A restricted shares were also converted into our common shares on a one-for-one basis. Under the Raycom SPA, we agreed to enlarge our Board of Directors to seven (7) directors, subject to shareholder approval, within 90 days of August 31, 2016. In addition, so long as Raycom held not less than 20% of our issued and outstanding common shares calculated on a fully diluted basis, it had (i) the designation rights to two (2) directors as management’s nominees for election to our Board, one of whom is our current Board member, Joseph G. Fiveash, III and one of which must be an independent director as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, and (ii) approval rights to one of the independent directors named as management’s nominees for election to our Board outside of the two Raycom designated directors. Pursuant to the SPA, Raycom had designated Joseph Fiveash as one of its director designees. On December 20, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the Raycom SPA and Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Raycom and we agreed to extend the time period for enlargement of the Board to seven members from 90 days following August 31, 2016, to the earlier of, and subject to shareholder approval: (a) 45 days following the effective date of the Form S-1 registration statement for our U.S. IPO, or (b) April 15, 2017. On March 30, 2017, we entered into amendments to the Raycom SPA and Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Raycom and we agreed to further extend the time period for enlargement of the Board to seven members to the earlier of, and subject to shareholder approval: (a) 45 days following the effective date of our Form S-1 registration statement for our U.S. IPO, or (b) May 31, 2017. On May 25, 2017, we entered into amendments to the Raycom SPA and Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Raycom and we agreed to further extend the time period for the successful listing of our common shares on Nasdaq from May 31, 2017 to June 30, 2017 and the enlargement of the Board to seven members to the earlier of, and subject to shareholder approval: (a) 45 days following the effective date of the Form S-1 registration statement for our U.S. IPO, or (b) July 31, 2017. On October 25, 2017, we entered into amendments to the Raycom SPA and Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Raycom and we agreed to further extend the time period for the successful listing of our common shares on Nasdaq from June 30, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and the enlargement of the Board to seven members to December 31, 2017, subject to shareholder approval. On December 27, 2017, we entered into amendments to the Raycom SPA and Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Raycom and we agreed to extend the date we become subject to various financial covenant ratios from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 and the enlargement of the Board to seven members from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018, subject to shareholder approval. On March 28, 2018, we entered into amendments to the Raycom SPA and Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Raycom and we agreed to extend the date we become subject to various financial covenant ratios from March 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019, the enlargement of the Board to seven members from March 31, 2018 to June 30, 2018, subject to shareholder approval and agreed that interest payments on the outstanding Loan balance for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and continuing thereafter will be suspended, and each such suspended interest payment will be added to the principal balance of the Loan, and the 12% rate for overdue interest will not apply to such suspended interest.

Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we entered into the Credit Facility with Raycom in the principal amount of $14.5 million and issued to Raycom Warrants to purchase 871,160 common shares at a price per share of CDN$8.50 ($6.63 based on the exchange rate at August 18, 2016). The Credit Facility terminates on August 31, 2021. The warrants have a 5-year term but upon a repayment of principal under the Credit Agreement, a pro-rata portion thereof will expire on the date which is later of (a) August 31, 2017 or (b) 30 days from the date of each principal repayment. Upon each payment of principal, the number of warrants that will expire will equal the product of the (i) then outstanding number of warrants and (ii) the principal repayment divided by the then outstanding principal balance of the loan. The exercise price and the number of shares underlying the warrants will be subject to adjustment as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Subject to approval of Raycom, at its sole discretion, we may require further loans up to an aggregate amount of $1.5 million. We will pay interest on each loan outstanding at any time at a rate per annum of 10%. Interest will accrue and be calculated, but not compounded, daily on the principal amount of each loan on the basis of the actual number of days each loan is outstanding and will be compounded and payable monthly in arrears on each interest payment date. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will pay interest on all overdue amounts, including any overdue interest payments, from the date each of those amounts is due until the date each of those amounts is paid in full. That interest will be calculated daily, compounded monthly and payable on demand of Raycom at a rate per annum of 12%. We have the option to repay all or a portion of loans outstanding under the Credit Facility without premium, penalty or bonus upon prior notice to Raycom and repayment of all interest, fees and other amounts accrued and unpaid under the Credit Facility.

We also agreed to make the following mandatory repayments:

(a) $2 million prior to August 31, 2019;

(b) commencing on November 30, 2019 and on the last day of the month of each three month period thereafter, an amount of $687,500 per three month period;

(c) proceeds (less actual costs paid and income taxes) on any asset sales or issuances of debt or equity;

(d) upon a successful listing of our common shares on Nasdaq with a capital raise of between $8 million to $11 million, mandatory repayment in the amount of $2 million, which will be applied toward the repayment obligation required by (a) above if completed by June 30, 2017;

(e) upon a successful listing of our common shares on Nasdaq with a capital raise of more than $12 million, a mandatory repayment in the amount of $3 million which will be applied toward the $2 million repayment obligation required by (a) above if completed by June 30, 2017 and any amounts raised in excess of $2 million will be applied pro rata to repayment obligations required by (b) above commencing November 30, 2019; and

(f) commencing on the financial year ending December 31, 2017, and each financial year ending thereafter, 100% of the current year excess cash flow amount in excess of $2 million must be paid to Raycom as a mandatory repayment amount no later than May 1 of the following year until a total leverage ratio of not more than 3:1 has been met for such fiscal year, at which point 50% of the current year excess cash amount in excess of $2 million will be paid to Raycom as mandatory repayment amounts. Such excess cash flow payments will be applied pro rata to reduce other mandatory payments due thereunder.

26

The mandatory prepayment provision described in subsection (c) above is not applicable to the December Private Placement (as described below), the SVB Line of Credit (as described below) or a U.S. public offering of equity resulting in proceeds to us of less than $8 million.

In addition, we must maintain certain leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios beginning the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017. The leverage ratios range from 4:1 to 2.5:1 and 2:1 to 3.5:1 for the interest coverage ratio. On December 27, 2017, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the period for commencement of the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants from the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2017 to the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2018. On March 28, 2018, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the period for commencement of the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants from the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2018 to the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2019. We are also subject to certain covenants relating to, among others, indebtedness, fundamental corporate changes, dispositions, acquisitions and distributions.

Upon an event of default, Raycom may by written notice terminate the facility immediately and declare all obligations under the Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, whether matured or not, to be immediately due and payable. Raycom may also as and by way of collateral security, deposit and retain in an interest bearing account, amounts received by Raycom from us under the Credit Agreement and the related loan documents and realize upon the Security Interest Agreements, Guaranty Agreements and Pledge Agreement as described below. If we fail to perform any of our obligations under the Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, Raycom may upon 10 days’ notice, perform such covenant or agreement if capable. Any amount paid by Raycom under such covenant or agreement will be repaid by us on demand and will bear interest at 12% per annum.

Guaranty Agreements, Security Interest Agreements and Pledge Agreement

In connection with the Credit Agreement, our subsidiaries Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC have entered into Guaranty Agreements whereby Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC have guaranteed our obligations under the Credit Agreement. In addition, each of Frankly Inc., Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC have entered into security interest agreements (the “Security Interest Agreements”) pursuant to which Raycom has first priority security interests in substantially all of our assets. Under the Security Interest Agreements, we do not have a right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the collateral except in the ordinary course of business that are not material. Frankly Media LLC has also entered into an Intellectual Property Pledge Agreement pursuant to which it has granted a security interest in all of its intellectual property to Raycom. We have also (i) deposited our intellectual property in escrow accounts for the benefit of Raycom, (ii) in furtherance of the security interest granted to Raycom in our equity interest in Frankly Media LLC, entered into a pledge agreement and a control agreement pursuant to which we granted Raycom control of the equity interest of Frankly Media LLC and (iii) entered into an insurance transfer and consent assigning our rights and payments under insurance policies covering our operations and business naming Raycom as mortgagee, first loss payee and additional named insured.

In addition, we have entered into a Pledge Agreement pursuant to which we granted Raycom a security interest on substantially all the assets and securities of our current and future subsidiaries.

Upon an event of default, we will be required to deposit all interests, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts payable in cash in respect of the pledged interests into a collateral account over which Raycom has the sole control and may apply such amounts in its sole discretion to the secured obligations under the Credit Agreement. Upon the cure or waiver of a default, Raycom will repay to us all cash interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts that remain in such collateral account. In addition, upon an event of default, Raycom has the right to (i) transfer in its name or the name of any of its agents or nominees the pledged interests, (ii) to exercise all voting, consensual and other rights and power and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the pledged interests whether or not transferred into the name of Raycom, and (iii) to sell, resell, assign and deliver all or any of the pledged interests. We have also agreed to use our best efforts to cause a registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws of the pledged interests upon the written request from Raycom.

27

Raycom may transfer or assign, syndicate, grant a participation interest in or grant a security interest in, all or any part of its rights, remedies and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, without notice or our consent.

Western Alliance Bank Letter of Credit

On August 31, 2016, in lieu of a security deposit under the lease dated October 26, 2010, with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, for real property located at 27-01 Queens Plaza North, Long Island City, NY, we entered into a standby Letter of Credit with Western Alliance Bank for an amount of $500,000. For each advance, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate, plus (ii) 3.50%, provided that such interest rate will change from time to time as the Base Rate changes. Interest will accrue from the date of the advance until such advance is paid in full. We have granted Western Alliance Bank a security interest in a $524,115 restricted account together with (i) all interest, whether now accrued or hereafter accruing; (ii) all additional deposits hereafter made to the account; (iii) any and all proceeds from the account; and (iv) all renewals, replacements and substitutions for any of the foregoing.

Raycom Advance

On December 22, 2016, pursuant to an amendment (the “Advance Agreement”), to the Website Software and Services Agreement (the “Raycom Services Agreement”) dated October 1, 2011 by and between the Company and Raycom, Raycom pre-paid $3 million of future fees for services (the “Original Raycom Advance”) to be provided by the Company pursuant to the Raycom Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Advance Agreement, if we had completed an equity raise of at least $5 million before March 31, 2017, then we could have either (i) refunded the prepayment to Raycom within 30 days of the completion of the equity raise along with an additional $30,000 for fees in connection with the prepayment by Raycom, or (ii) applied the prepayment to services provided by us for the year ending December 31, 2017 in which case Raycom would have received a discount of $300,000 (the “Discount”) for the services to be provided by us. If we did not complete an equity raise of at least $5 million by March 31, 2017, then the prepayment would have been applied to the services to be provided for the year ending December 31, 2017 and the Discount will be applied to services to be provided by us for the year ending December 31, 2017.

On March 30, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Advance Agreement (the “Second Raycom Advance”) pursuant to which Raycom pre-paid an additional $2 million of future fees for services to be provided by the Company pursuant to the Raycom Services Agreement. The amendment also extended the date for completing the equity raise and if we did not complete an equity raise of at least $5 million by May 31, 2017, then the prepayment would have been applied to the services to be provided for the period commencing June 1, 2017 and Raycom would have received the Discount for services to be provided by us for the year ending December 31, 2017.

On May 25, 2017, we entered into a further amendment to the Advance Agreement, pursuant to which if we did not complete an equity raise of at least $5 million by June 30, 2017, then the prepayment would have been applied to the services to be provided for the period commencing July 1, 2017 and Raycom would have received the Discount for services to be provided by us for the year ending December 31, 2017.

On October 6, 2017, we entered into a further amendment to the Advance Agreement, pursuant to which the prepayment will be applied to the services to be provided for the period commencing January 1, 2018. Additionally, Raycom will receive an additional $180,000 discount (the “Second Discount”) in the amount of their 2018 fees.

Silicon Valley Bank Line of Credit

On December 28, 2016, we, Frankly Media and Frankly Co. had entered into the Loan and Security Agreement pursuant to which SVB has provided us with a $3 million revolving line of credit (the “SVB Line of Credit”). Borrowings under the SVB Line of Credit accrued interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 2.25% above the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal, which interest was payable monthly.

28

The SVB Line of Credit was secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. We and our subsidiaries had also entered into Intellectual Property Security Agreements pursuant to which we and our subsidiaries have granted a security interest in all of our respective rights, titles and interests in our intellectual property. Pursuant to an intercreditor agreement dated December 28, 2016 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) between Raycom, The Teachers’ Retirement Systems of Alabama, as agent for Raycom (“TRS”) and SVB, Raycom had a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets other than accounts receivable, cash, cash accounts, short and long term investments, all bank accounts including, without limitation, all operating accounts, depository accounts, savings accounts, and investment accounts, and all property contained therein, stock, securities, and investment property, and all proceeds arising out of any of the foregoing (the “SVB Priority Collateral”) while SVB had a first priority security interest in the SVB Priority Collateral.

On August 1, 2017, the Company repaid all amounts owed to SVB under these agreements and such agreements were terminated.

Recent Developments

Legal Proceedings

Gannaway III, Samantha Gannaway V.S. Frankly Inc., Steve Chung, SKP America, LLC, JJR Private Capital Limited Partnership, Ron Schmeichel, Louis Schwartz in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Frankly, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer and others alleging violations of U.S. securities laws, fraud and breach of fiduciary duties, and seeking in excess of $15 million in damages, arising out of our acquisition of Gannaway Web Holdings, LLC from GEI and other parties in 2015.

On March 12, 2018, the plaintiffs in the GEI complaint voluntarily terminated their case. On March 15, 2018, the plaintiffs in the GEI complaint re-filed their complaint in state court. We are reviewing the complaint with our counsel and believe that the claims are without merit. We intend to defend the claims vigorously.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Gannaway III, Samantha Gannaway V.S. Frankly Inc., Steve Chung, SKP America, LLC, JJR Private Capital Limited Partnership, Ron Schmeichel, Louis Schwartz in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Frankly, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer and others alleging violations of U.S. securities laws, fraud and breach of fiduciary duties, and seeking in excess of $15 million in damages, arising out of our acquisition of Gannaway Web Holdings, LLC from GEI and other parties in 2015.

On March 12, 2018, the plaintiffs in the GEI complaint voluntarily terminated their case. On March 15, 2018, the plaintiffs in the GEI complaint re-filed their complaint in state court.

As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of any future matters could materially affect our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of Business and Going Concern

1. Description of Business and Going Concern

Description of Business

Frankly Inc. (“Frankly”) has been operating since the incorporation of its predecessor, TicToc Planet Inc., on September 10, 2012. These consolidated financial statements include Frankly and its subsidiaries (Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC), together referred to as the “Company.”

The Company helps TV broadcasters and media companies transform their traditional business from just delivering content over- the-air via broadcast television to distributing content in multi-platform, digital formats on new platforms such as mobile, tablets, desktop and other connected devices. The Company’s core product is a white-labeled software platform that enables media companies to publish their official content onto multiscreen devices, increase social interaction on those multiscreen experiences, and enable digital advertising. The platform consists of a content management system (“CMS”) platform, native mobile and over-the-top (“OTT”) applications, responsive web framework, digital video solutions and digital advertising solutions. The Company generates revenues by charging monthly recurring software licensing fees, variable usage fees for our platform and sharing digital advertising revenue with our customers.

Going Concern

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $74.6 million, representative of recurring losses since inception. Additionally, the Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception when excluding changes in working capital. Beginning January 1, 2018, the billing for all services provided to Raycom are being applied to the advance agreement balance as of December 31, 2017 in the amount of $4,896,585 ($3,805,278 as of March 31, 2018) and Raycom will not be required to make cash payments for services provided by the Company until the balance has been fully repaid. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of its financial statements.

To reduce its operating cash needs, in February 2018, the Company executed a reduction-in-force that removed approximately 20 full-time employees from its headcount. In addition, the Company subleased its remaining office space in San Francisco, CA and is pursuing other areas where operating expenses can be reduced. On March 13, 2018, the Company received $1 million under the existing credit agreement with Raycom, bringing the total outstanding principal balance under the credit agreement to $15.5 million. On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment of the 2016 credit agreement, whereby Raycom will provide the Company with an additional $7.5 million of funding, to be paid in installments over a six-month period, subject to the Company’s achievement of certain operational milestones. The $1.0 million advanced to the Company on March 13, 2018 is included in the additional $7.5 million funding noted above. Upon the Company’s receipt of all of the additional funding under the amended credit agreement, the total outstanding principal balance under the amended credit agreement would be $22.0 million. The additional credit facility will be primarily used to get the Company current with its vendor and customer national revenue share payables as well as offset the operational cash outflow associated with the utilization of the $3.8 million advance agreement balance as of March 31, 2018 discussed above. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the operational milestones to obtain the additional advances from Raycom, or that those advances, if obtained, will provide adequate funding to sustain the Company’s operations and execute its business plan through the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Frankly Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, included within the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Risk

Accounts receivable are subject to credit risk and as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, two customers each accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. In total, these customers accounted for 40% and 26% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Additionally, approximately 42% and 38% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was generated from two customers, that each accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. In addition, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $757,806 and $70,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act of 2012. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can selectively delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, as a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period at any time, which election is irrevocable.

ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The new topic will replace Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The topic is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards to reconcile previously differing treatment between U.S. practices and those of the rest of the world and to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, for private companies; this effective date is applicable for the Company due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Therefore, the Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019 and plans to use the modified retrospective method. The Company will further evaluate during 2018, the anticipated impact of the adoption of this updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for leases with accounting lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will replace most existing lease accounting guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard states that a lessee will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company as an EGC in 2020 and requires the modified retrospective method of adoption. Although the Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

ASU 2016-18: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company as an EGC in 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted

ASU 2016-15: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments — In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which provides guidance related to cash flows presentation and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, subject to early adoption, which is permitted using a retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-15 is intended to standardize the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows, and was effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisition of Worldnow

On July 28, 2015, the Company signed an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase all of the outstanding units of Gannaway Web Holdings LLC, operating as Worldnow, for total consideration of $45,000,000. On August 25, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Worldnow. Subsequent to the acquisition, Worldnow changed its name to Frankly Media LLC.

Restructuring Expense

4. Restructuring Expense

Following an extensive process to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives, the Company’s Board of Directors, led by the Strategic Committee, determined the best path for the Company at that time was to pursue internal growth opportunities and focus on further optimizing its operations. In an effort to reduce its operating cash needs, in February 2018, the Company executed a reduction-in-force that removed approximately 20 full-time employees from its headcount. In addition, the Company subleased its remaining office space in San Francisco, CA and is pursuing other areas where operating expenses can be reduced. The restructuring also included a reorganization of the senior management team. Effective April 12, 2018, the Company’s CEO resigned and was succeeded by the Company’s former COO and CFO. A number of other senior management changes were implemented on the same date. The restructuring plan is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2018. The Company accounted for the one-time termination benefits and certain contract costs in accordance with ASC 420 – Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.

The following table summarizes the changes in the restructuring liability (included in accrued expenses) for the periods presented, by each major type of cost associated with the restructuring activity:

Raycom

As partial consideration for the acquisition of Worldnow on August 25, 2015, the Company issued a $4,000,000 promissory note to Raycom and 397,126 Class A restricted voting shares (Note 3). The note bore interest at 5% per annum and was due on August 31, 2016 (Note 7). Raycom was a customer and significant shareholder of Worldnow and, subsequent to the acquisition of Worldnow, remains a customer and significant shareholder of Frankly. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, revenue-related transactions and balances with Raycom arose in the ordinary course of business.

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the closing of its financing with Raycom (Note 7). The Company received a non-revolving term line of credit from Raycom in the principal amount of $14.5 million and, subject to approval of Raycom, an additional available $1.5 million non-revolving line of credit (collectively, the “Loan”). The proceeds were used to pay down $14 million of the $15 million outstanding promissory notes. In addition, Raycom converted the remaining $1.0 million of its existing $4.0 million promissory note from the Company into 150,200 common shares of the Company and the Company issued 871,160 common share purchase warrants to Raycom. The Loan was recorded at fair value of $11,578,593 with the remaining $2,921,407 being allocated to the warrants. On March 13, 2018, the Company received $1 million of the additional $1.5 million available under the Loan, bringing the total outstanding principal balance to $15.5 million. The carrying value of the Loan at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs, was $13,672,478 and $12,155,573, respectively. Interest expense on the Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, amounted to $516,904 and $510,080 and is presented within interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On December 22, 2016, Raycom pre-paid $3 million of future fees for services to be provided by the Company (the “Advance Agreement”). On March 30, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Advance Agreement pursuant to which Raycom pre-paid an additional $2 million of future fees for services to be provided by the Company. In connection with the Advance Agreement, the Company recognized interest expense of $79,913 and $57,998, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. All services provided by the Company to Raycom since January 1, 2018 are being applied to the Advance Agreement balance.

Mobdub

The Company has a license agreement with a company that is owned by an officer of the Company. The agreement is for licensing of mobile applications and has a total contract value of $350,000. The period of the agreement is three years and commenced on October 14, 2015.

Non-revolving Credit Facility

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the closing of its financing with Raycom, a related party (Note 5). The Company received a non-revolving term line of credit from Raycom in the principal amount of $14.5 million and, subject to approval of Raycom, an additional available $1.5 million non-revolving line of credit. In addition, Raycom converted $1.0 million of its existing $4.0 million promissory note from the Company into 150,200 common shares of the Company and the Company issued 871,160 warrants to Raycom entitling the holder of each warrant to acquire one common share of the Company upon exercise of each warrant at a price per common share equal to CDN$8.50 ($6.63 based on the exchange rate at August 18, 2016). The warrants will expire on the earlier of: (i) the repayment of the Loan in accordance with its terms; and (ii) 5 years. To the extent that there is a mandatory repayment of any portion of the principal balance of the Loan, a proportionate number of the warrants will have their term reduced to the later of one year from issuance and 30 days from the date of such repayment. On March 13, 2018, the Company received $1 million of the additional $1.5 million available under the Loan, bringing the total outstanding principal balance to $15.5 million.

The warrants were recorded within shareholders’ equity (deficit) in accordance with ASC 470-20 - Debt With Conversion and Other Options. Proceeds from the sale of the debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The value allocated to the Loan with Raycom was $11,578,593 with the remaining $2,921,407 being allocated to the warrants. The fair value of the 871,160 warrants issued were estimated based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, using the following assumptions: 1) Dividend yield of 0%, 2) Risk free rate of 0.66% for 751,000 warrants and 0.56% for 120,160 warrants, 3) Volatility of 71.14%, 4) Expected term of 5 years for 751,000 warrants and 7 months for 120,160 warrants, and 5) Forfeiture rate of 0%.

The debt discount of $2,921,407 is being amortized to interest expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss using the effective-interest method. Amortization of debt discount included in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $144,099 and $145,436, respectively. In accordance with ASC 470-50 - Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company accounted for the refinancing transaction as an extinguishment of debt. The Company incurred legal fees directly related to the refinancing of $206,805, which were recorded as deferred financing costs and recorded against the carrying value of the Loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $10,340 and $7,110, respectively.

Prior to the completion of the financing arrangements, Raycom held 397,125 voting shares of the Company, which represented approximately 21% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company. Immediately following the completion of the financing transactions, Raycom held 547,325 voting shares of the Company and 871,160 warrants, which collectively represented approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company on a non-diluted basis.

The proceeds of the Loan were used to pay off the outstanding $15.0 million of promissory notes issued by the Company in connection with the 2015 acquisition of Worldnow, including $3.0 million of the $4.0 million of such notes issued to Raycom, with the remaining $1.0 million promissory note balance owed to Raycom being converted to common shares of the Company as described above.

The Loan has a five-year term and is secured by the grant of a security interest in the Company’s assets, a pledge of shares of the Company’s subsidiaries and a guarantee by the Company’s subsidiaries secured by their assets. Simultaneously, the Company and Raycom also entered into a software code escrow agreement. The software code escrow agreement required the Company to provide source code of its software products with a third party escrow agent.

Interest on outstanding balances of the Loan will accrue at a rate of 10% per annum, with a default interest rate of 12% per annum. The Loan is subject to certain scheduled mandatory principal repayments, with additional mandatory repayments occurring upon the Company’s raising of additional financing, sales of assets and excess cash flow.

In addition, the Company must maintain certain leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company is also subject to certain covenants relating to, among others, indebtedness, fundamental corporate changes, dispositions, acquisitions and distributions. On December 27, 2017, the Loan was amended to extend the period for commencement of the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants from the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2017 to the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2018. On March 28, 2018, the Loan was amended to extend the period for commencement of the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants from the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2018 to the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2019 and agreed that interest payments on the outstanding Loan balance for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and continuing thereafter will be suspended, and each such suspended interest payment will be added to the principal balance of the Loan, and the 12% rate for overdue interest will not apply to such suspended interest. In connection with the above, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company accrued interest expense of $362,466, which is presented within non-revolving credit facility, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 as these amounts will not be paid within one year from the condensed consolidated balance sheet date.

Upon an event of default, Raycom may by written notice terminate the facility immediately and declare all obligations under the Loan, whether matured or not, to be immediately due and payable. Raycom may also as and by way of collateral security, deposit and retain in an interest bearing account, amounts received by Raycom from the Company under the Loan and realize upon the security interest agreements, guaranty agreements and pledge agreement.

Letter of Credit – Western Alliance Bank

On August 31, 2016, in lieu of a security deposit under the lease dated October 26, 2010, with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, for real property located at 27-01 Queens Plaza North, Long Island City, NY, Frankly Media LLC entered into a standby letter of credit with Western Alliance Bank for an amount of $500,000 (the “Letter of Credit”). For each advance, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate (as defined below), plus (ii) 3.50%, provided that such interest rate will change from time to time as the Base Rate changes. The “Base Rate” means the rate of interest used as the reference or base rate to establish the actual rates charged on commercial loans and which is publicly announced or reported from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate”. Interest will accrue from the date of the advance until such advance is paid in full. The Company has granted Western Alliance Bank a security interest in a $524,115 controlled cash deposit account together with (i) all interest, whether now accrued or hereafter accruing; (ii) all additional deposits hereafter made to the account; (iii) any and all proceeds from the account; and (iv) all renewals, replacements and substitutions for any of the foregoing. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no advances were made under the Letter of Credit. The cash security interest of $524,115 is presented within restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

Shares Issued During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 77,973 common shares for employee and director restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vested.

Stock-Based Compensation

Description of the Plan

On October 20, 2017, the Company adopted an amended and restated equity incentive plan (the “Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan amends the equity incentive plan, effective as of October 1, 2017, by replacing the compensation plan limit with a fixed total limit of 435,000 common shares that may be granted under option and RSU awards.

Options may be exercised over periods of up to 10 years as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) and the exercise price shall not be less than the closing price of the shares on the day preceding the award date. Option awards generally vest over four years with one year cliff vesting.

The Restated Plan allows the Company to award RSUs to officers, employees, directors and consultants of Frankly and its subsidiaries upon such conditions as the Board may establish, including the attainment of performance goals recommended by the Company’s compensation committee. The purchase price for common shares of the Company issuable under each RSU award, if any, shall be established by the Board at its discretion. Shares issued pursuant to any RSU award may be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of service requirements, conditions, restrictions, time periods or performance goals established by the Board.

Based on the number of outstanding options and RSUs as of March 31, 2018 and RSUs vested through March 31, 2018, the Company had 44,095 options or RSUs remaining for issuance under the Restated Plan.

Total stock-based compensation expense was $235,040 and $228,166 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits for stock-based compensation during any of the periods presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2018

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Frankly Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Frankly Co. and Frankly Media LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, included within the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Risk

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Risk

Accounts receivable are subject to credit risk and as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, two customers each accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. In total, these customers accounted for 40% and 26% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Additionally, approximately 42% and 38% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was generated from two customers, that each accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. In addition, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $757,806 and $70,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act of 2012. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can selectively delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, as a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period at any time, which election is irrevocable.

ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The new topic will replace Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The topic is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards to reconcile previously differing treatment between U.S. practices and those of the rest of the world and to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, for private companies; this effective date is applicable for the Company due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Therefore, the Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019 and plans to use the modified retrospective method. The Company will further evaluate during 2018, the anticipated impact of the adoption of this updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for leases with accounting lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will replace most existing lease accounting guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard states that a lessee will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company as an EGC in 2020 and requires the modified retrospective method of adoption. Although the Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

ASU 2016-18: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company as an EGC in 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted

Recently Adopted

ASU 2016-15: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments — In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which provides guidance related to cash flows presentation and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, subject to early adoption, which is permitted using a retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-15 is intended to standardize the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows, and was effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
