CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (this “Quarterly Report”), includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements are subject to considerable
risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical
facts and can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,”
“expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,”
“projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and
the negatives of those expressions. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to such statements.
Our
forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations about future events and
trends, which affect or may affect our business, strategy, operations, financial performance or liquidity. Although we believe these
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties
and are made in light of information currently available to us. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may impact our forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors:
●
our incursion of significant net losses and uncertainty whether we will achieve or maintain profitable operations;
●
our ability to grow and compete in the future, and to execute our business strategy;
●
our ability to maintain and expand our customer base and to convince our customers to increase the use of our services and/or platform;
●
the competitive market in which we operate;
●
our ability to increase the number of our strategic relationships or grow the revenues received from our current strategic relationships;
●
our ability to develop enhancements and new features to our existing service or acceptable new services that keep pace with technological
developments;
●
our ability to successfully launch new product platforms, including MARKET.live, the rate of adoption of these platforms and the revenue
generated from these platforms;
●
our ability to deliver our services, as we depend on third party Internet providers;
●
our ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel;
●
our susceptibility to security breaches and other disruptions;
●
our ability to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market; and
●
the impact of, and our ability to operate our business and effectively manage our growth under evolving and uncertain global economic,
political, and social trends, including legislation banning or otherwise hampering our strategic relationships such as TikTok, inflation,
rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns.
The
foregoing list may not include all of the factors that impact the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report. Our actual
financial condition and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements as a result
of various additional factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our “Annual Report”), as well as in the other reports we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You should read this Quarterly Report, and the other documents
we file with the SEC, with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from the results expressed or
implied by our forward-looking statements.
We
operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to
predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual future results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market,
we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors.
We
qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our
Business
References
in this document to the “Company,” “Verb,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are intended
to mean Verb Technology Company, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis.
Our
business is currently comprised of three distinct, yet complimentary business units, all three of which are currently operating and generating
revenue, and one of which is currently operating in “stealth mode” as we continue to refine the user experience for that
business unit as we continue to ramp sales. The first business unit is MARKET.live focused on interactive video-based social commerce.
Our MARKET.live platform is a multi-vendor, livestream social shopping destination leveraging the convergence of ecommerce and entertainment.
Brands, retailers and creators that join MARKET.live have the ability to broadcast livestream shopping events simultaneously on numerous
social media channels, including TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, as well as on MARKET.live, reaching exponentially
larger audiences. The Company’s recent technological integrations with META, created a seamless, native, friction-free checkout
process for Facebook and Instagram users to purchase MARKET.live vendors’ products within each of those popular apps. This integration
allows Facebook and Instagram users to browse products featured in MARKET.live shoppable videos, place products in a native shopping
cart and checkout – all without leaving Facebook or Instagram. We recently announced a technology integration with Pinterest and
we will continue to expand the universe of social platforms our clients can access through our platform.
Last
year we completed development work on a new MARKET.live capability that facilitated a deeper integration into the TikTok Shop social
media platform, designed to expose MARKET.live shoppable programming to tens of millions of potential viewers/purchasers. This capability
allows shoppers watching a MARKET.live stream on TikTok to stay on that site and check out through that site, eliminating the friction
or reluctance of TikTok users to leave their TikTok feed in order to complete their purchase on MARKET.live. Our technology integration
allows the purchase data to flow back through MARKET.live and to the individual vendors and stores on MARKET.live seamlessly for fulfillment
of the orders.
Earlier
this year, we announced an expanded strategic relationship with TikTok evidenced by a formal partnership with TikTok Shop pursuant to
which MARKET.live became a service provider for TikTok Shop and officially designated as a TikTok Shop Partner (TSP). Under the terms
of the partnership, TikTok Shop refers consumer brands, retailers, influencers and affiliates leads to MARKET.live for a menu of MARKET.live
contract-based recurring fee revenue services that include, among other things, assistance in onboarding to TikTok Shop and establishing
a TikTok store, hosting training sessions and webinars for prospective TikTok Shop sellers, full creative services including content
creation and full remote and in-studio production services, host/influencer casting and management, TikTok Shop maintenance and enhancements
for existing TikTok clients’ stores. The same services are currently provided to consumer brands that contact us directly or through
several brand agencies with which we maintain affiliate relationships.
The
second business unit is GO FUND YOURSELF!, a revolutionary interactive social crowd funding platform for public and private companies
seeking broad-based exposure across numerous social media channels for their crowd-funded Regulation CF and Regulation A offerings. The
platform combines a ground-breaking interactive TV show with MARKET.live’s back-end capabilities allowing viewers to tap on their
screen to facilitate an investment, in real time, as they watch companies presenting before the show’s panel of “Titans”.
Presenting companies that sell consumer products are able to offer their products directly to viewers during the show in real time through
shoppable onscreen icons. The Go Fund Yourself business unit generates revenue from cash fees we charge to issuers to appear on the show
and for marketing, ad, and content creation and distribution services. For those issuers that sell products during each airing of the
show through our platform, we charge a fee up to 25% of the gross sales revenue for all products sold.
Historically,
and continuing up through June 13, 2023, the Company was a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) applications platform
developer that offered a SaaS platform for the direct sales industry comprised of a suite of interactive video-based sales
enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis, (the “SaaS Assets”).
On
June 13, 2023, the Company disposed of all of its operating SaaS Assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement in consideration of the
sum of $6,500, $4,750 of which was paid in cash by the buyer at the closing of the transaction (the “Sale of the SaaS Assets”).
Additional payments of $1,750 will be paid to us by the buyer if certain profitability and revenue targets are met within the two-year
period following the closing as set forth more particularly in the asset purchase agreement. The sale of the SaaS Assets was undertaken
to allow us to focus our resources on MARKET.live, and the business verticals that platform could support. We expect our burgeoning MARKET.live
business unit will, over time, create greater shareholder value than we could have been created through the continued operation of our
SaaS Assets.
As
of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $10,515 and short-term investments of $5,077.
Economic
Disruption
Our
business is dependent in part on general economic conditions. Many jurisdictions in which our customers are located and our products
are sold have experienced and could continue to experience unfavorable general economic conditions, such as inflation, increased interest
rates and recessionary concerns, which could negatively affect demand for our products. Under difficult economic conditions, customers
may seek to cease spending on our current products or fail to adopt our new products, which could negatively affect our financial performance.
We cannot predict the timing or magnitude of an economic slowdown or the timing or strength of any economic recovery. These and other
economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
On
October 8, 2024, we implemented a 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock, $0.0001
par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Our Common Stock commenced trading on a post Reverse Stock Split basis on October
9, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every two hundred (200) shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock were combined
and reclassified into one share of our Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, warrants, and
convertible securities were also reduced by a factor of two hundred and the exercise price of such securities increased by a factor of
two hundred, as of October 8, 2024. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout our condensed consolidated financial
statements and other financial information in this Quarterly Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The par value
per share of our Common Stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.
As
discussed above, among the terms of the Sale of the SaaS Assets was that additional payments of $1,750 will be paid to us by the buyer
if certain profitability and revenue targets are met within the two-year period following the closing. The contingent payments were not
recorded at the closing date of the sale and will be recognized as the cash is received and the contingency resolved pursuant to ASC
450-30.
Accordingly,
the Company’s consolidated financial statements are being presented pursuant to ASC 360-10-45-9 which requires that a disposal
group be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the held for sale criteria are met. In addition to held for sale accounting,
the Company had also met the criterion pursuant to ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, as a strategic shift from operating and
managing a SaaS business to operating and managing a live streaming shopping platform has occurred because of the sale. The Company’s
consolidated results of operations and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations.
See Note 6 for details of the assets and liabilities related to the SaaS sale and discontinued operations.
In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all
adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Verb, Verb Acquisition Co.,
LLC , and verbMarketplace, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions made in analysis of assumptions made in purchase price allocations, impairment
testing of long-term assets, realization of deferred tax assets, determining fair value of derivative liabilities, and valuation of equity
instruments issued for services. Some of those assumptions can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ
materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Investments
In
accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt Securities, the Company accounts for its investments as trading securities
consisting of U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds that are reported at fair value on the Company’s condensed
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are included in other income
(expense), net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024.
The
Company’s investments in trading securities are classified as current based on the intent of management, the nature of the investments
and their availability for use in current operations. See Note 3 – Investments and Fair Value Measurements for further details of
the Company’s investments at September 30, 2024.
Segment
Information
Effective
July 1, 2024, the Company operates as two reportable segments, MARKET.live and Go Fund Yourself. We identify our segments in accordance
with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, and in the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”), allocates resources and assesses financial performance. See Note 14 for disclosures of Segment Information.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue through June 13, 2023 was derived primarily from providing application
services through the SaaS application, digital marketing and sales support services. During that period, the Company also derived revenue
from the sale of customized print products and training materials, branded apparel, and digital tools, as demanded by its customers.
As a result of the sale of the SaaS business, revenue that was recorded historically from the SaaS business has been reclassified as
part of discontinued operations. See Note 6 for revenue disclosures related to the SaaS business.
MARKET.live
revenue is derived from contract-based recurring fee revenue services that include, among other things, assistance in onboarding clients
to TikTok Shop and establishing a TikTok store, hosting training sessions and webinars for prospective TikTok Shop sellers, full creative
services including content creation and full remote and in-studio production services, host/influencer casting and management, TikTok
Shop maintenance and enhancements for existing TikTok clients’ stores. Clients are referred to us through our existing partnership
with TikTok Shop as well as from several brand agencies with which we maintain affiliate relationships.
GO
FUND YOURSELF! derives revenue from cash fees we charge to issuers to appear on the show and for marketing, ad, and content creation
and distribution services. For those issuers that sell products during each airing of the show through our platform, we charge a fee
up to 25% of the gross sales revenue for all products sold.
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are
identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the
contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include
establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform and customer service
support.
Customers
do not have the contractual right to take possession of the Company’s software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects
the contractual consideration that the Company receives in exchange for its services.
Revenue
is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency
relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company
does not take possession of the customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.
Sales
taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded
from net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
were substantially all generated from clients and customers located within the United States of America.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenue primarily consists of processing fees and independent contractors associated with the MARKET.live platform and
independent contractors for shows related to Go Fund Yourself.
Capitalized
Software Development Costs
The
Company capitalizes internal and external costs directly associated with developing internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that
include an internal-use software license, during the application development stage of its projects. The Company’s internal-use
software is reported at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization begins once the project has been completed and is ready for
its intended use.
Due to
changes in management’s assessment of its capitalized software development asset, the Company revised the asset’s
remaining useful life effective January 1, 2024 and will amortize the asset on a straight-line basis over a period of four years.
Software maintenance activities or minor upgrades are recorded as expense in the period performed.
Amortization
expense related to capitalized software development costs is recorded in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
Preferred
Stock
The
Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement
of its preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within
the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control)
are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as part of stockholders’ equity. Accordingly,
the Series C Preferred Stock offering on December 29, 2023 is classified as part of stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments.
FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs.
The
three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
|
Level
1: |
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
Level
2: |
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date. |
|
Level
3: |
Pricing
inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The
carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, and
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of notes
payable approximates the fair value due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market
interest rates. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities, see Note 3 for
Investments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 8 for Derivative Liability.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded
at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements
of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or
as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as
current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of
the balance sheet date.
The
Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using
a Binomial pricing model. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any
increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjusted to fair value of derivatives.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees
and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock
Compensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is
recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of
shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and is recognized as expense over the service period. Forfeitures are accounted
for as they occur. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid
cash for services.
Net
Loss Per Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss
per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive
potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential
shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.
As
of September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company had total outstanding options of 9,038 and 10,284, respectively, and warrants of 3,545 and
4,598, respectively, and outstanding restricted stock awards of 556 and 778, respectively, and convertible notes issued to a related
party that were convertible into 0 and 106 shares at $8,240.00 per share, respectively, which were excluded from the computation of net
loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.
At
the close of business on April 5, 2024, the Company’s unexercised publicly traded warrants under the symbol VERBW expired pursuant
to their original terms and as such Nasdaq suspended trading the 879 remaining warrants and the trading symbol VERBW was delisted from
Nasdaq.
Concentration
of Credit and Other Risks
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited
with a limited number of financial institutions. The balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250.
The
Company’s concentration of credit risk includes its concentrations from key customers and vendors. The details of these significant
customers and vendors are presented in the following table for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”).
The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes
receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model,
under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s
provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance
is effective. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual
and interim basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all
prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) did not or are not believed by management to have a material
impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Fair
Value Measurements
Our
financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term
nature, which are all considered Level 1. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying
value.
Our
financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of U.S. treasury securities, corporate bonds and derivatives
(see Note 8). U.S. treasury securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued based on quoted market
price in an active market. Corporate bonds are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are less active and are generally classified
within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We did not hold Level 1 or Level 2 financial instruments as of December 31, 2023.
Financial
instruments valued based on unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions or data that market participants
would use in valuing an instrument are generally classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We did not hold Level 3 financial
instruments as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Financial
instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 are classified based on the valuation technique in the

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
In
2020, the Company began developing MARKET.live, a livestream ecommerce platform, and has capitalized $7,131 of internal and external
development costs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In October 2021, the Company entered into a 10-year license
and services agreement with a third party (the “Primary Contractor”) to develop on a work-for-hire basis certain components
of MARKET.live. The Primary Contractor’s fees for developing such components, including the license fee, is $5,750. The Primary
Contractor was paid an additional $500 bonus in April 2022 for services rendered pursuant to the license and service agreement.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company amortized $249 and $538, respectively and $748 and $1,615, respectively.

On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “November Note Purchase Agreement”) and promissory note with an institutional investor (the “November Note Holder”) providing for the sale and issuance of an
unsecured, non-convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,470,
which has an original issue discount of $470,
resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,000
(the “November Note,” and such financing, the “November Note Offering”). The
November Note matures eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing six months from the date of issuance, the Company
is required to make monthly cash redemption payments in an amount not to exceed $600. The November Note may be repaid in whole or in
part prior to the maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires the Company to use up to 20% of the gross proceeds
raised from future equity or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material asset, to prepay the November Note, subject
to a $2,000 cap on the aggregate prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the November Note have been paid in full, the
Company is not permitted to grant a security interest in any of its assets, or to issue securities convertible into shares of common
stock, subject in each case to certain exceptions. verbMarketplace, LLC entered into a guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in
connection with the November Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the November Note
in exchange for receiving a portion of the loan proceeds. |
|
|
In
connection with the November Note Offering, the Company incurred $335 of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs and the debt
discount of $450 were being amortized over the term of the November Notes using the effective interest rate method. As of December
31, 2023, the amount of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $99 and $73, respectively. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, the Company amortized the remaining amount of $99 of debt discount and $73 of debt issuance costs. |
|
|
|
|
|
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 57,422 shares of its common
stock pursuant to an exchange agreement in exchange for a reduction of $1,720 on the outstanding
balance of the November Notes. The shares issued for the share exchange agreement were valued
based upon the Nasdaq at-the-market price and is being consistently applied for each share
exchange. As a result, there was no gain or loss on the transaction.

for the final share exchange agreement on May 3, 2024 were valued at a 10% discount resulting in a loss on this particular transaction
of $90. This amount has been recorded as a finance cost in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Under
authoritative guidance used by the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own
stock, instruments that do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. In prior years, the Company
granted certain warrants that included a fundamental transaction provision that could give rise to an obligation to pay cash to the warrant
holder. As a result, the fundamental transaction clause of these warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with
ASC 815 and are being re-measured every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
The
derivative liabilities were valued using a Binomial pricing model with the following average assumptions:

The
expected life of the warrants was based on the remaining contractual term of the instruments. The Company uses the historical volatility
of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the
Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. The risk-free interest rate was based
on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded income of $1 and $210, respectively, to account for the changes
in the fair value of these derivative liabilities during the period. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of the derivative liability
was $0.

(the “Preferred Return”). The Preferred Return shall accrue on each share of Series C Preferred Stock from the date of its
issuance and shall be payable or otherwise settled as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
Commencing
on the 1 year anniversary of the issuance date of each share of Series C Preferred Stock, each such share of Series C Preferred Stock
shall accrue an automatic quarterly dividend, based on three quarters of 91 days each and the last quarter of 92 days (or 93 days for
leap years), which shall be calculated on the Stated Value of such share of Series C Preferred Stock, and which shall be payable in additional
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, based on the Stated Value, or in cash as set forth in the Certificate of Designation (each, as applicable,
the “Quarterly Dividend”). For the period beginning on the 1 year anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series C
Preferred Stock to the 2 year anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, the Quarterly Dividend shall be
2.5% per quarter, and for all periods following the 2 year anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, the
Quarterly Dividend shall be 5% per quarter.
Subject

Stock Holders an amount in cash equal to the Series C Preferred Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) then
applicable to such shares of Series C Preferred Stock being redeemed in the Corporation Optional Conversion (the “Redemption Price”).

The
total stock compensation expense recognized relating to the vesting of stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2024 amounted to $100 and $529. As of September 30, 2024, the total unrecognized share-based compensation expense was $904, which is

The
risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected
term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are
expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility
is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the
Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

of 4,506 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $1,600.00 per share. As a result of this transaction,
certain warrants which previously had an exercise price of $2,720.00 per share, had the exercise price reduced to $1,600.00 per share,
which resulted in the Company recognizing a deemed dividend of $164.
At
the close of business on April 5, 2024, the Company’s unexercised publicly traded warrants under the symbol VERBW expired pursuant
to their original terms and as such Nasdaq suspended trading the 879 remaining warrants and the trading symbol VERBW was delisted from

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The
Company is currently in a dispute with a former employee of its predecessor bBooth, Inc. who has interposed a breach of contract claim
in which he alleges that in 2015 he was entitled to approximately $300 in unpaid bonus compensation. This former employee filed his complaint
in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles on November 20, 2019, styled Meyerson v. Verb Technology Company, Inc.,
et al. (Case No. 19STCV41816). The Company disputed the former employee’s claims and interposed several affirmative defenses, including
that the claims are contradicted by documentary evidence, barred by the applicable statute of limitations, and barred by a written, executed
release. On February 9, 2021, the former employee’s counsel filed a motion for summary judgment, or in the alternative, summary
adjudication against the Company. On October 13, 2021, the California court issued an order (i) denying the former employee’s motion
for summary judgment on his claims against the Company, but (ii) granting the former employee’s motion to dismiss the Company’s
affirmative defenses, which ruling the Company contends was in error. Under the rules, the Company is precluded from appealing the dismissal
of its affirmative defenses until after a trial. On August 29, 2023, after a bench trial at which the Company was precluded from introducing
evidence of its affirmative defenses, the court found in favor of Plaintiff Meyerson; and judgment was entered in Meyerson’s favor
in the amount of $584 which included interest. Meyerson’s counsel thereafter submitted an untimely request for attorney’s
fees and costs which the Company has opposed. After due consideration, the Court awarded Meyerson’s counsel only approximately
$8 in counsel fees. After the trial, the Company filed a timely appeal from the judgment (Meyerson v. Verb Technology Company, Inc. (2023
2nd Appellate District) Case No.: B334777, seeking among other things, that the trial court’s finding be vacated and that the Company’s
affirmative defenses be reinstated. As of this date, the appeal has yet to be heard. In the interim, the Company bonded the judgement
preventing any enforcement or collection of the judgement while the appeal is pending. The Company has accrued the liability at September
30, 2024 and believes the accrual is adequate pending the outcome of the appeal process.
The
Company knows of no material proceedings in which any of its directors, officers, or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder
