NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
Wowio, LLC was formed on June 29, 2009
under the laws of Texas (“Wowio Texas”). On July 16, 2010, the Company converted to a C-corporation under the laws
of Texas. Wowio, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Carthay Circle Publishing (collectively, the “Company”, “we”,
“our”, “Wowio”) is an emerging company in the creation, production, distribution and monetization of digital
entertainment. We specialize in creating custom brand strategies to develop, produce, distribute and promote entertainment properties
across multiple product lines and distribution channels, including our own websites, traditional media, social media and emerging
technologies.
The Company operates in a rapidly changing
technological and digital entertainment market and its activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including
failing to secure additional funding to further exploit the Company’s current technology and digital entertainment properties.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting
policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements and notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible
for their integrity and objectivity. The accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from audited financial statements and the interim unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for
complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, included
in the Company’s Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring
accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary to present fairly the condensed
consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2015, the condensed consolidated results of its operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace
numerous, industry specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting
Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control,
as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include the capitalization and
amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates
of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. Entities can transition
to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. On July 9, 2015, the FASB
approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after
that date and permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date or for reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2016. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently assessing the impact the adoption
of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.
2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”. The amendments in this update provide guidance
in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibilities to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The main provision of the amendments are for an entity’s
management, in connection with the preparation of financial statements, to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered
in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year
after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and
events that are known or reasonably knowable at the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. When management identifies
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the entity should
disclose information that enables users of the consolidated financial statements to understand all of the following: (1) principal
conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration
of management’s plans); (2) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to
the entity’s ability to meet its obligations; and (3) management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions
or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this
update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. The Company
is currently assessing this guidance for future implementation.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting
Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update requires capitalized
debt issuance costs to be classified as a reduction to the carrying value of debt rather than a deferred charge, as is currently
required. This update will be effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and
is required to be adopted retroactively for all periods presented, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the expected impact of this new accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Wowio, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carthay Circle Publishing. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance
with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, which requires that four basic criteria must be met
before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling
price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (4) will be based on management’s
judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions
for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or for which
services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that
the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required.
The Company’s primary revenues streams
are as follows:
eBooks
For eBook downloads purchased
by the customer directly through the Company’s website, the Company recognizes revenue when the right to download content
is granted. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the
net amount earned. Generally, the Company records such revenues on a net basis due to a general lack of indicators that the Company
is the primary obligor primarily due to the Company’s lack of ability to determine price. Typically for these sales, the
Company’s net revenues consist of a credit card processing fee along with the majority of the advertising fee when there
is an ad sponsor.
Occasionally, the Company sells
download cards to retailers and directly to end customers, which are redeemable on its websites for content downloads over an established
time frame. The Company records proceeds from the initial sale of the card to deferred revenue, which is included in accounts payable
and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and is recognized as revenue over the related download period,
which approximates the usage period.
Advertising
Visitor demographics and time
spent on a website are the primary drivers behind advertising-based revenue models for internet properties. Website advertising
revenue is primarily recognized on a flat-fee basis based on cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”). The Company earns
CPM revenue from the display of graphical advertisements on its websites. Revenue from flat-fee services is based on a customer’s
period of contractual service and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Proceeds from such contracts
are deferred and are included in revenue on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related agreements.
Patent Licensing
The Company owns Patent No.
7,848,951, issued by the USPTO on December 7, 2010, protecting the insertion of ads into eBooks. The Company intends to pursue
patent licensing arrangements with eBook distribution outlets looking to create new revenue streams for eBook downloads. The Company
will also pursue any violators who infringe on the patent’s claims, ultimately generating license revenues on a per-book
or per-ad basis.
Revenue from patent licensing
arrangements is recognized when earned, estimable and realizable. The timing of revenue recognition is dependent on the terms of
each license agreement and on the timing of sales of licensed products. The Company generally recognizes royalty revenue when it
is reported to the Company by its licensees, which is generally one quarter in arrears from the licensees’ sales. For licensing
fees that are not determined by the number of licensed units sold, the Company recognizes license fee revenue on a straight-line
basis over the life of the license.
Creative IP Licensing
Revenues are also generated
by the exploitation of WOWIO’s own proprietary content of creative material such as comic books, graphic novels, screenplays,
and other published and non-published content. The WOWIO-owned Spacedog library is available for sale on wowio.com and the Company
retains 90% of all retail sales for that content library.
The Company’s content
also generates revenues from licensing stories/characters/concepts to studios and other producing partners. Licensing deals that
may generate revenue for the Company include film option/acquisition fees, television option/acquisition fees, video game licensing,
content licensing for apps, apparel and merchandise licensing.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
A financial instrument which potentially
subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by
management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit
coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no uninsured amounts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015,
one customer accounted for approximately 98% of revenues.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Significant estimates made by management
include, among others, fair value of common stock and preferred stock issued, fair value of beneficial conversion features, fair
value of derivative liabilities and realization of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience,
knowledge of current conditions and belief of what could occur in the future considering available information. The Company reviews
its estimates on an on-going basis. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from its
estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, future results of operations
will be affected.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are determined
based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy
for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs
by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The established fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of
inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted)
for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of
fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Significant other observable
inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable
inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted
future cash flows method.
The Company’s financial instruments
consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, convertible notes payable and related party notes payable.
The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of its convertible notes payable as instruments similar to the convertible
notes payable could not be found. Other than for convertible notes payable, the carrying value for all such instruments approximates
fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative convertible notes, preferred stock
and warrant liabilities at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the statements of operations that are attributable
to the change in the fair value of the derivative convertible notes, preferred stock and warrant liabilities.
Beneficial Conversion Features
In certain instances, the Company has entered
into convertible notes that provide for an effective or actual rate of conversion that is below market value, and the embedded
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) does not qualify for derivative treatment. In these instances, the Company accounts
for the value of the BCF as a debt discount, which is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt using
the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses marketing, promotions
and advertising costs as incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, such costs totaled $895 and $11,313, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, such costs totaled $355 and $10,219. Such costs are included in general and
administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
All share-based payments, including grants
of stock to employees, directors and consultants, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based upon their estimated
fair values.
The Company’s accounting policy for
equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows ASC Topic 505. As such, the value
of the applicable stock-based compensation is periodically re-measured and income or expense is recognized during their vesting
terms. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at
which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s
performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is primarily
recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with FASB guidance, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance
of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s
balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under
the provision of ASC 740. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated
balance sheets that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest
and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its
consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated
statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States,
Texas and California.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the
period by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as warrants outstanding during the period. Common
stock equivalents from warrants and convertible notes payable were approximately 2,463,805,012 and 3,009,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for all periods
presented because the effect is anti-dilutive.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company evaluates debt instruments,
preferred stock, stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those
contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative
Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the
fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date
and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded
in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument
is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that
are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability
account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Certain of the Company’s embedded
conversion features on debt, preferred stock and derivative liabilities with potentially insufficient authorized shares to settle
outstanding contracts in the future are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The Company estimates the fair value of
these embedded conversion features and derivative liabilities with potentially insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding
contracts in the future using the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) (see Note 7). Based on
these provisions, the Company has classified all conversion features and warrants as derivative liabilities at June 30, 2015.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s revenues since inception have been nominal. Additionally,
since inception, the Company has had recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation as a going
concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund operations, implement its business model, and ultimately,
to attain profitable operations. The Company will need to secure additional funds through various means, including equity and debt
financing, funding from a licensing arrangement or any similar financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain additional debt or equity financing, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any additional
equity or debt financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders, restrictive covenants or high interest
costs. The Company’s long-term liquidity also depends upon its ability to generate revenues from the sale of its products
and achieve profitability. The failure to achieve these goals could have a material adverse effect on the execution of the Company’s
business plan, operating results and financial condition. The Company intends to raise additional financing.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSET
On October 13, 2010, the Company entered
into a secured note receivable with Top Cow Productions (“TCP”) for $175,000. Terms of the note required interest at
the rate of 10% per annum and equal monthly installments of principal over twelve months beginning in May 2011 through April 2012.
The note is secured by certain assets of TCP and individually by two owners of TCP. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014,
the balance of the note receivable was $0 and $195,678, respectively, including accrued interest receivable of approximately $0
and $62,678, respectively.
|
· |
The Company held a security interest in the assets of TCP; |
|
|
|
|
· |
The Company received payments of $5,500 from TCP during 2013 and $4,900 during 2014; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
In 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with TCP in which TCP is to provide to the Company certain assets, including ownership of two separate 4 book comic book series and screenplay. The Company receives 70% of the future net revenues derived from these assets, with TCP retaining the remaining 30% as a participation fee. The Company believes the carrying value of the outstanding note receivable and accrued interest is recoverable through the projected undiscounted future cash flows of these assets obtained from TCP. |
|
|
|
|
· |
In January 2015, TCP provided the Company a feature film script, and fulfilled its obligations under the note receivable. |
The Company has capitalized the costs of
bringing this production to market in accordance with ASC 926, “Entertainment – Films.”
NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS
Wowio, LLC
On June 29, 2009, Wowio Texas entered into

Company’s CEO, and an additional $1,514,000 to be paid via royalty at a rate of 20% of gross revenues generated from acquired
assets. Subsequent to the $1,514,000 being satisfied, such royalty rate shall reduce to 10% of net revenues generated in perpetuity.
Drunk Duck
On May 5, 2010, Wowio Texas entered into
an asset purchase agreement with Platinum pursuant to which Platinum agreed to transfer to the Company, all of the ownership interests
in the assets, including related websites, of Drunk Duck (the “Duck”) in exchange for total consideration of $1,000,000
in cash of which $350,000 of such amount had been previously paid, $150,000 was due from July 2010 – October 2010 and $500,000
is to be paid in quarterly installments equal to a minimum of 10% of net revenue derived from the purchased assets. As a security
interest, Platinum retained a 10% ownership position in the assets, which is being reduced proportionately, as payments are made
to Platinum. As of June 30, 2015, Platinum retained ownership of 6.5% of the assets, as a result of amounts owed to Platinum under
the purchase agreement. The $150,000 initially due from July 2010 to October 2010 remains outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December
31, 2014.
Spacedog Entertainment, Inc.
Effective May 15, 2010, Wowio Texas entered
into a securities purchase agreement with Spacedog Entertainment, Inc. (a New York corporation) (“SDE”) pursuant to
which SDE agreed to transfer to Wowio, Inc., all of the common stock of SDE in exchange for total consideration of $1,650,000,
comprised of $107,000 in cash, 1,187 shares of common stock (valued at $1,543,000 - based on the estimated fair value on the measurement
date) and an additional $1,000,000 to be paid via royalty at a rate of 100% of gross revenues generated from SDE assets. Subsequent
to the $1,000,000 being satisfied, the seller shall no longer be entitled to receive any further royalties. In accordance with
the agreement, the Company neither assumed nor became responsible, in any way, for any liabilities, debts or other obligations
of SDE.
On December 12, 2012, the Company entered
into a purchase agreement with the original owner of SDE, whereby the original owner re-acquired from the Company 10 specific titles
from SDE. In exchange for the purchase of these 10 titles, the original owner was to return 196 shares of the Company’s common
stock to the Company’s treasury and reduce the contingent royalty liability from $1,000,000 to $500,000. In connection with
the reduction in the contingent royalty liability, the fair value of the liability based on estimated payment was reduced by $425,459.
The 196 shares of common stock were received by the Company on May 10, 2013.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Revolving Loan
Effective September 21, 2012, the Company
entered into a credit agreement (“Revolving Loan”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”), which
provided the Company with an initial revolving loan commitment of $250,000. Net proceeds received by the Company amounted to $201,775
after deducting financing fees of $53,225 (which were recorded as debt issue costs). The interest rate on this and all extensions
of the Revolving Loan is 12% per annum, with a default rate of 18%. Per the agreement, accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid
principal balance was payable on a weekly basis beginning on September 28, 2012.
The Revolving Loan had a 6-month term that
could be extended for 6 months at TCA’s discretion with a 4% renewal fee. The loan is collateralized by a security interest
in all tangible and intangible assets of the Company.
In connection with this transaction, the
Company issued a series of three warrants to TCA (“TCA Warrants”), each to purchase 184,157 shares of common stock,
or 1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at September 21, 2012. Each warrant had an exercise price of $0.01
per share. Each of the TCA Warrants was immediately exercisable upon issuance and had terms of six months, nine months and twelve
months, respectively. Each of the TCA Warrants had a mandatory redemption clause, which obligated the Company to redeem the warrant
in full by payment of $30,000 each if not exercised by the respective redemption dates through September 21, 2013. The Company
recorded $90,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital related
to TCA Warrants in connection with its mandatory redemption clause, with $60,000 still outstanding as of June 30, 2015.
The Revolving Loan contains various covenants,
certain of which the Company was not in compliance with at June 30, 2015. The amount of principal due as of June 30, 2015 and December
31, 2014 was $50,000, and $60,000 in warrant liabilities. Accrued interest and fees related to the Revolving Loan of $58,892 and
$54,428 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June
30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Creditor has filed a lawsuit related to this note. (see item 1)
Notes Payable – Related Parties
During 2011, the Company issued an aggregate
of $157,355 of notes payable to employees in lieu of compensation due. The notes matured in December 2012, are now due on demand
and accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per year. The amount of principal due at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $100,902.
Accrued interest of $8,584 and $7,458 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

On December 20, 2011, the Company issued
a 10% senior secured promissory note (“Secured Note”) to an individual in the amount of $100,000 and was initially
due in December 2012. The Secured Note is secured by all of the Company’s acquired intangible assets. On February 14, 2013,
the Company entered into a waiver and amendment #1 agreement to the Secured Note, extending the maturity date from December 20,
2012 to June 20, 2013. In February 2014, the Company entered into a waiver and amendment #2 to this Secured Note extending the
maturity date from June 20, 2013 to June 20, 2015. In February 2015, $25,000 of the note was transferred to a third party as a
convertible note. In March 2015, additional $25,000 of the note was assigned to a third party as a convertible note. In April 2015,
$35,000 of the note was transferred to a third party as a convertible note. See note 7 for discussion of loss on debt extinguishment.
In January 2014, the Company issued a secured
promissory note to an individual in the amount of $300,000. The note bears interest at 12% annually, with interest of $51,876 as
of June 30, 2015, due on demand. In March 2015, $10,000 of the note was assigned to a third party as a convertible note. See note
7 for discussion of loss an debt extinguishment.
In connection with this note, the Company
issued the holder of the note a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at a price of
$1.50 per share with an expiration date of January 2017. The relative fair value of the warrant of $15,190 was treated as a discount
and was amortized over the life of the note. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized the remaining balance
of $634 to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
In April 2014, the Company issued a promissory
note to an individual in the amount of $450,000. The note bears flat interest of $20,000 and was due in July 2014. In October 2014,
the Company issued 1,538 shares of common stock to extend the due date of this promissory note, along with two other notes to this
individual, to January 2015 and March 2015. The estimated fair value of the 1,538 shares of common stock of $170,000 was computed
based on stock price of $111 per share in accordance with the terms of the agreement and was treated as a loss on debt extinguishment
in accordance with relevant accounting guidance.
Accrued interest related to notes payable
of $139,532 and $101,537 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as
of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

During six months ended June 30, 2015,
various holders of convertible note payable converted $228,943 in principal and $6,320 of accrued and unpaid interest into 975,536
shares of the Company’s common stock.
During six months ended June 30,
2015, the Company entered into an aggregate of $313,500 (net cash of $152,500) in convertible promissory notes bearing
interest at rates between 8% and 12%, due in one year, net of fees approximating $20,500. The convertible notes allow the
lender to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable
conversion price (as defined). Certain of these convertible notes allow the lender to determine the timing of conversion, and
as such the embedded conversion feature resulted in a derivative liability and a corresponding debt discount in the amount
of $209,437 to be recorded (See Note 7). The Company is amortizing the debt discount over the life of the
corresponding convertible promissory notes. The amortization of the debt discount for these derivative instruments was
$88,830 for six months ended June 30, 2015. In connection with the conversion of debt that were treated as derivative
instruments, the Company reclassified $453,000 to additional paid-in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Accrued interest related to convertible
notes payable of $25,014 and $8,768 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
As of June 30, 2015, the Revolving Loan
and a number of the outstanding related party notes payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable balances are delinquent.
The Company is in negotiations with the note holders to amend the terms of the notes.
NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company applies the accounting standard
that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s
own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of
a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.
From time to time, the Company has issued
notes and preferred stock with embedded conversion features and warrants to purchase common stock. Certain of the embedded conversion
features and warrants contain price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives.
In addition, potentially in the future, the Company may have an insufficient number of available shares of common stock to settle
outstanding contracts. Accordingly, the Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded conversion features, warrants, and
derivatives related to the insufficient number of authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts using Black-Scholes with the
following assumptions:
Expected volatility is based primarily
on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using weekly pricing observations for recent periods. We believe this
method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants
and embedded conversion features.
We currently have no reason to believe
that future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants and embedded conversion features is likely to differ
materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants and embedded conversion
features. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants and
embedded conversion features.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015,
the Company issued an aggregate of $313,500 in principal of convertible notes payable (includes reassignments of debt) at interest
rates between 8% and 12% (See Note 6). Such convertible notes contained embedded conversion features in the Company’s own
stock and have resulted in an initial derivative liability value of $1,339,000, which consisted of $579,000 of loss on debt extinguishment,
$219,000 related to the fair value of preferred stock, $207,500 of debt discount and $333,500 of excess interest expense.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 the
Company recorded gain of $1,075,000, related to the change in fair value of the warrants and embedded conversion features which
is included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

embedded conversion features which have no observable market data and are derived using Black-Scholes measured at fair value on

On January 27, 2015, the Company issued the

the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share; (b) junior to the Series A and B Preferred Stock; (c) senior to any future designation

per share of common stock, or (ii) 70% of the lowest VWAP in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice. The
Series C PS may be converted at any time after the earlier to occur of the (i) six-month anniversary of the issuance date or (ii)
an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the conversion notice.
On May 11, 2015, the Company issued a consultant

Series E held by them. After the payment of the full applicable Preference Value of each share of the Series E as set forth
herein, the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to
the holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Each share of Series E shall have ten votes for any election or other vote
placed before the shareholders of the Company. Shares of Series E are anti-dilutive to reverse splits. The conversion rate of
shares of Series E, however, would increase proportionately in the case of forward splits, and may not be diluted by a
reverse split following a forward split. The value of the Series C,E,F shares is included in derivative liabilities in
the accompanying balance sheet.
On May 11, 2015, the Company issued a consultant
40,000 shares of Series E of the Company for service provided. Each share of preferred stock can be converted into 8,342 shares

shares of Series F Preferred Stock (“Series F”) par value of $0.00001 per share. The holders of Series F are entitled

from time to time, into 500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

the Corporation of written notice from the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock of the holder’s intention to convert the
shares of Series C Stock, together with the holder’s stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Series C Preferred
Stock to be converted. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before
any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any stock ranking junior to the Series F, the holders of the Series
F shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to $1.00 per share or, in the event of an aggregate
subscription by a single subscriber for Series F in excess of $100,000, $0.997 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends,
combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) (the “Preference Value”), plus all
declared but unpaid dividends, for each share of Series F held by them. After the payment of the full applicable Preference Value
of each share of the Series F as set forth herein, the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution, if any,
shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Each share of Series F shall have one vote for
any election or other vote placed before the shareholders of the Company. Shares of Series F are anti-dilutive to reverse splits.
The conversion rate of shares of Series F, however, would increase proportionately in the case of forward splits, and may not be
diluted by a reverse split following a forward split.
On June 29, 2015, the Company issued a consultant 1,600 shares

accompanying balance sheet.

Company would advance Alliance capital and pay expenses on behalf of Alliance. The monthly fee was $5,000 for the period from November
2011 through June 2013. Based on the decline in business and required support by the Company, the management fee was terminated
effective July 1, 2013.

Alliance and Altounian have ownership interests
in Akyumen Technologies, Corp. (“Akyumen”). At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Alliance and Altounian owned less
than 1% of Akyumen individually and collectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, Akyumen provided certain software
development and technology related services to the Company for $250,000. Such costs were expensed to general and administrative
expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, Akyumen engaged the Company for an advertising
campaign on the Company’s websites. The advertising campaign was for $150,000 for the period April 1, 2014 through June 30,
2015. The Company recorded $25,000 in advertising revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
On January 27, 2015, the Company issued the
CEO 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company as settlement for $40,000 of accrued wages, which were valued based
on the market price of the equivalent number of common shares on the date of issuance of $0.0026 per share, which resulted in a
gain on settlement of accrued wages of $39,792, which was recorded as contributed capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statement of stockholders’ deficit for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalties
In connection with certain of the Company’s
acquisitions, the Company has entered into various royalty agreements (see Note 5). Royalty payments related to acquisitions range
from 10% to 100% of related revenue, as summarized below:
|
· |
Wowio, LLC - 20% of related revenue until all purchase price consideration has been satisfied, then 10% of related revenue through perpetuity. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Duck - 10% of related revenue until all purchase price consideration has been satisfied, with no subsequent royalty amounts due. |
|
· |
SDE - 100% of related revenue until all purchase price consideration has been satisfied, with no subsequent royalty amounts due. |
Additionally, the Company enters into royalty
agreements with the authors of the eBooks included on its websites, which call for royalty payments based on various percentages
of revenues earned, less processing fees and in the case of Sponsored Downloads, a fixed price per download.
Employment Agreements
The Company is party to an employment agreement
with its Chief Executive Officer, which expires in March 2016, with an automatic renewal period of two years unless otherwise terminated.
The employment agreement requires annual base salary payments of approximately $300,000 per year. In addition, the executive is
entitled to bonuses in amounts based on various factors, including but not limited to the Company’s financial performance,
amount of financing received and producer fee credits. Pursuant to the agreement, if the executive is terminated without cause,
he is entitled to receive an amount equal to six months of his annual base salary.
Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company
has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which the Company may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions.
These indemnities include certain agreements with its officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify such person
for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. In connection with the Company’s acquisitions, the parties
have agreed to indemnify each other from claims relating to the acquisition agreements. In connection with the Company’s
publisher agreements, the parties have agreed to indemnify each other from certain claims relating to the agreements. The duration
of these indemnities and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees
do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we may be obligated to make. Historically, the Company
has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liability has been recorded for these indemnities
and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Legal
In October 2013, a former employee filed a
complaint against the Company and its CEO, seeking past due wages of $57,096, damages and attorney’s fees. The Company has
accrued the amount of past due wages in its condensed consolidated financial statements and although this lawsuit is subject to
the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, based on the information presently available to the Company, management does
not believe the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have an adverse material effect on the Company’s financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
In the normal course of business, the Company
may become involved in various legal proceedings. The Company knows of no pending or threatened legal proceeding to which the Company
is or will be a party that, if successful, might result in material adverse change in the Company’s business, properties
or financial condition.
NOTE 10 – WITHHELD PAYROLL TAXES
Since its inception, the Company made several
payments to employees for wages that were net of state and federal income taxes. Due to cash constraints, the Company has not yet
remitted all of these withheld amounts to the appropriate government agency. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $346,096 and
$345,214, related to this obligation in accrued compensation and related costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, including estimated penalties and interest.
NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events
after the balance sheet date and based upon its evaluation, management has determined that no subsequent events have occurred that
would require recognition in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other
than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.
On July 24, 2015, the Company issued to certain
officers and directors of the Company, an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 restricted shares of common stock. The Shares were issued
pursuant to the conversion of debt (the “Debt Conversions”) of an aggregate of $20,000 in outstanding debt held on
the books and records of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Conversions, the Company has the right, but not the obligation,
to repurchase 100% of the shares prior to July 31, 2016, and 50% of the shares from August 31, 2016 until July 31, 2017 at the
conversion price of $0.00002 per share. No solicitation was made and no underwriting discounts were given or paid in connection with
this transaction. The Company believes that the issuance of shares pursuant to the agreement as exempt from registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Overview
WOWIO, Inc. (“WOWIO”,
“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Los Angeles-based digital media company
with an eBook distribution platform. The Company owns a proprietary patent that provides for the specific process for inserting
ads into eBooks while adding both personalization and an anti-theft identifier, positioning WOWIO as a participant in the growing
eBook distribution arena. In addition to its ownership of this patent, the Company has completed the development of a mobile application
(“mobile app”) that will allow for the insertion of mobile ads in eBooks read on a mobile device. During the 2nd quarter
of 2014, the Company began to focus its efforts primarily in the area of technology development in order to take advantage of the
opportunity to exploit its proprietary patent and build additional proprietary technologies in the eBook and mobile ad space. As
such, the Company was in the early stages of development of a mobile advertising network that would provide WOWIO additional proprietary
technology and a unique vertically integrated technology solution that will generate revenues for the company through ad-subsidized
eBooks. Management believed that the Company can generate additional revenues by creating an enterprise-level mobile ad delivery
platform, utilizing the unique position represented by the patent and other technologies currently being developed. The Company
also utilized various professionals in the technology development sector at the University level to explore the possibility of
acquiring additional technology complementary to the Company’s existing patent and platform.
Using our eBook distribution
platform as the anchor, the digital media side of our business includes the creation, distribution, marketing, and monetization
of “published” material, such as books, comic books, illustrated novels and graphic novels, as well as other digital
media productions, including web series, eBooks, eComics, graphic novels and branded entertainment which we provide to digital
and traditional media channels, such as film and television. Management believes that its enterprise-level mobile ad delivery platform
will offer new revenue opportunities by delivering ads to these digital media products. Our operations are conducted through four
main divisions: 1) wowio.com, the eBook distribution platform with a unique pricing model, that takes advantage of our proprietary
patent, 2) StudioW digital media, the production entity that creates online and off-line brand-expansion entertainment properties
and programs for our content, 3) Carthay Circle Publishing, Inc. which was created to develop our catalog of new and original content
to exploit across our various consumer-facing properties, and 4) the technology development group, focused on new revenue-generating
technologies.
Our business began as a
web-based eBook store in 2005, and was re-launched in early 2010 with a new design and new business model that included advertising
revenue-generating opportunities. In 2010, as part of our initial focus on digital media content development, we acquired a library
of comic books, novels, graphic novels, and screenplays to distribute on our eBook platform as well as to market and promote across
other web properties that we also acquired and built in 2010. That same year, we were granted a broad patent that allows for the
insertion of advertising into eBooks delivering a new revenue stream for eBook publishers and authors. We believe this patent could
provide us with a competitive advantage in the highly competitive eBook distribution market. Since 2010, we have broadened our
operational focus to include the services of a digital media studio, which operates as StudioW, and in September 2012, we formed
Carthay, a digital publishing entity, for the purpose of identifying and acquiring unpublished content for exploitation and “brand-building”
across the digital and traditional media landscape. Per a study conducted and published by eMarketer, dated April, 2015, the global
mobile advertising market will surpass $100 billion in spending and accounting for more than 50% of all digital ad expenditure
for the first time. According to this study, mobile advertising is projected to grow 430% increase from 2013 and will represent
over 25% of total overall digital advertising in 2019, with mobile advertising projected to exceed $195.55 Billion in 2019. Based
on these projections, the Company is focusing its efforts on technology development in order to use its proprietary patent and
take advantage of projected growth of mobile advertising over the next 5 years.
WOWIO owns a library of
books and generates income from the retail sales thereof. We typically sell WOWIO-branded eBooks for $0.99 each. We also offer
digital content and eBooks provided by third party publishers to consumers for free when advertising campaigns are available. If
the eBook or digital content does not contain an advertising campaign, then we offer the eBook to the consumer at a retail price
selected by the publisher and the Company receives an allowance for administration and credit card processing charges, for which
we hold back approximately 10% - 30% of the retail price. When there has been a sponsorship advertising campaign, we have charged
the sponsor between $1.00 and $3.00 a book and we have paid the publisher between $0.25 - $0.50 per book depending on the length
of the book and we keep the remaining portion. We anticipate altering these sponsorship fees and publisher royalty fees to be more
in line with mobile ad offerings once we release a final version of the mobile app. EBook sales not tied to advertising campaigns
are intended to draw traffic to our websites, so that we can profitably sell advertising on our websites, and are also intended
to draw publishers, so that we can seek to enter into additional advertising campaigns for the eBooks sold on our websites.
EBook sponsorship ad campaigns
are ads inserted into eBooks. To date, such ad campaigns have not utilized our patented technology, but we anticipate such use
in the future. Currently, advertising campaigns are represented as book “sponsorships” where the ad is presented in
the eBook as a digital book cover. These ads are the first two pages of the book and the last page in the file. The digital book
covers are personalized with the reader’s name (which the reader has provided to the Company by registering with us to use
the site) and include hyperlink connections to the advertiser’s website as well as static copy. This personalization makes
every eBook downloaded a unique and original file. The full use of the patent will include this personalization but the selection
of the advertisement will be dependent on and matched to the specific user profile of the reader such that all ads will be unique
to the reader, will be placed at various locations within the eBook in addition to the front and back eBook cover and will match
the reader’s preferences, profile, online behavior, or other unique identifying characteristics.
Advertisements that appear
on the website and mobile app are separate revenue streams and are not related to the insertion of ads into eBooks. There have
been occasions where an advertiser has requested category-specific ads to appear on the website as well as within the eBooks in
a particular category. For example, Adam & Eve received one month of advertising placement on the “Romance” category
on the website as part of a larger eBook sponsorship campaign in addition to ads within the eBooks in that category as sponsorships
as described above. Generally, however, website advertising revenues are generated from more traditional web advertising networks
such as Gorilla Nation, Burst Media and other network ad providers placing ads on webpages independent of the content.
The revenues we earn have
not been adequate to support our operations. We have supplemented our revenue with the proceeds from offerings of our debt and
equity securities. Where possible, we have also paid expenses by issuing shares of our common stock to conserve our cash. We expect
that our operating expenses will continue to exceed our revenues for at least the next 9 to 12 months, and possibly longer. If
we cannot raise the funds necessary to pay our operating expenses, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease our
operations.
The Company owes certain
contingency royalty payments, which will affect its enjoyment of revenue and its ability to become profitable. In particular, the
Company has outstanding obligations remaining from the initial acquisition agreements of certain properties and owes contingency
royalty payments to the sellers. The Company will be required to pay these obligations out of revenues, ranging from 10% to 100%
until the acquisition costs are completed. For Wowio.com, we owe a total of approximately $1.5 million to the seller Platinum Studios,
payable as a royalty of 20% of related revenue until all purchase price consideration has been satisfied. After we have completed
paying the acquisition balance, we will pay Platinum Studios a royalty of 10% of related revenue in perpetuity. For The Duck Webcomics
site, we owe a total of approximately $650,000, including a current payable of $150,000, with the remaining $500,000 payable as
a royalty of 10% of related revenue until all purchase price consideration has been satisfied. After we have completed paying the
acquisition balance, there will be no further obligation owed on this asset. For the Spacedog library, the Company entered into
an agreement whereby the original seller of the library agreed to re-acquire 20 titles from the library in exchange for assuming
$45,000 in debt and relieving the Company of any further obligation.
As set forth above, all
of the Company’s royalty payment obligations, except with respect to the 10% royalty payment which we will owe in perpetuity
to Platinum Studios, are finite. The Company did not make any royalty payments during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
WOWIO’s principal place of business is
located at 9107 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 450, Beverly Hills, CA, 90210.
Plan of Operations
Our business goals are
to increase audience size and procure greater market share in the eBook distribution industry as well as create additional technologies
that enhance our Company’s position within that space. On the digital media side of our business, we anticipate possible
acquisition opportunities that will enable us to increase our capabilities in the creation, distribution and monetization of traditional
content including films, television shows, and books, and digital content such as eBooks, eComics, graphic novels, online video
content, casual games, apps and enhanced and blended media formats, utilizing our own proprietary distribution platforms and proprietary
ad delivery platforms to generate revenues.
Traditional media creators
have generally focused on a primary distribution window with subsequent distribution in secondary outlets. Our strategy allows
us to work around the limitations of this model’s short time frames and high marketing costs. StudioW utilizes a multi-window,
day/date release strategy, giving the consumer repeated, overlapping opportunities to discover the content, thus building a “relationship”
with the story, the characters, the universe or the brand.
We intend to expand our
business through the acquisition of creative properties, the acquisition of synergistic technology platforms and capabilities,
the establishment of business-to-business partnerships, the development of our consumer-facing brands, and further technology development
that will provide enhanced distribution platforms for creators, target monetization pathways for advertisers, and provide a unique
user experience for our audience.
We have access to creators,
content libraries, and various distribution avenues, providing a unique opportunity and monetization path for us to become an entertainment
studio that will focus on digital media across platforms and business units within the organization. We intend to generate revenues
through original and branded content development, licensing deals, strategic partnerships, app and eBook sales, and online and
mobile advertising revenues.
The chief initiatives we
intend to undertake within the next year in order to accomplish these near-term business goals include: 1) increase our sales staff
by 2-4 people to increase the ad-insertion campaigns on the site, which will increase revenues, traffic and transactions; 2) increase
our technical staff by 2-4 people and launch the new wowio.com site, the mobile app and other planned technology development by
creating apps and other new technology initiatives in the eBook and digital media areas; 3) increase our content development team
by 1 or 2 people to develop and create original content to be published through our Carthay label, increasing our library of content
by at least 10 to 15 new titles for exploitation; 4) increase our social media team by 1 or 2 to help build brand awareness across
all of the WOWIO-owned sites and to support the marketing/sales efforts of Carthay; and 5) increase our marketing and promotional
team by 1 or 2 people to support sales efforts across all platforms. We anticipate overhead expenses to support these efforts to
increase to approximately $3.0 million to $5.0 million over the next 12 - 18 months.
We expect to generate future
revenue by licensing both our patent rights and our creative intellectual property. We expect to re-launch a multi-channel eBook
delivery platform in a newly-designed wowio.com site during the second quarter of 2015. We also anticipate launching our mobile
app across various platforms, including the release of our app on the Android operating system at the same time, and the Apple
operating system (iOS) and the Microsoft Windows Mobile platforms during the second half of 2015. We also anticipate releasing
an enterprise-level mobile ad delivery platform during the second half of 2015. With this new platform, we expect to increase online
visibility by connecting to other related sites through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that will allow us to engage
with the audience of partner sites. With a broader audience reach and more attractive product offering, our goal is to increase
our revenues through increased sales of eBooks and ad revenues generated from the expected higher traffic. Through our Carthay
subsidiary, we expect to generate increased revenues as we anticipate higher revenue participation as a publisher, earning 30-50%
of revenues as opposed to merely a distributor, earning 10-20% of revenues. Finally, we also anticipate increasing revenues through
the licensing of our patent, a process we are beginning to undertake as the advertising community has just started to see the eBook
distribution channel as a viable alternative to other content distribution outlets.
We are also exploring potential
acquisitions of synergistic companies with related product lines or business strategies that could possibly support or enhance
our current plan of operations. Our evaluation of these potential acquisition targets would include analysis of their financial
information to determine that they would be accretive to our revenue streams and assets.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
Our discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation
of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the accounting
policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they
involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. An
accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters
that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the different estimates that could have been used
in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically could materially impact our consolidated financial
statements.
Our most critical accounting policies
and estimates that may materially impact our results of operations include:
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes
revenues in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, which requires that four basic
criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred;
(3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (4) will
be based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability
of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will
be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has
not been delivered or for which services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the
customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required.
The Company’s primary
revenues sources are as follows:
eBooks
For eBook downloads purchased
by the customer directly through the Company’s website, the Company recognizes revenue when the right to download content
is granted. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the
net amount. Generally, the Company records such revenues on a net basis due to a general lack of indicators that the Company is
the primary obligor primarily due to the Company’s lack of ability to determine price. Typically for these sales, the Company’s
net revenues consist of a credit card processing fee along with the majority of the advertising fee when there is an advertisement
or an ad sponsor. Occasionally, the Company sells download cards to retailers and directly to end customers, which are redeemable
on its websites for content downloads over an established time frame. The Company records proceeds from the initial sale of the
card to deferred revenue, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets, and is
recognized over the related download period, which approximates the usage period.
Advertising
Visitor demographics
and time spent on a website are the primary drivers behind advertising-based revenue models for internet properties. Website
advertising revenue is primarily recognized on a flat-fee basis based on cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”).
The Company earns CPM revenue from the display of graphical advertisements on its websites. Revenue from flat-fee services is
based on a customer’s period of contractual service and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
contract. At the end of March 2014, the Company signed an insertion order for display advertising across all of the
Company’s sites with Akyumen Technologies to advertise Akyumen’s proprietary mobile hardware devices. The
insertion order provides that Akyumen pay an aggregate of $150,000 (as amended) during the final three quarters of 2014. As
of December 2014, the Company received $150,000 and $25,000 in 2015, in advertising revenues from Akyumen related to this
order for advertising.
Patent Licensing
The Company owns Patent
No. 7,848,951, issued by the USPTO on December 7, 2010, protecting the method for insertion of specifically targeted advertisements
into eBooks. The scope of our patent covers (i) two methods for providing individuals with a plurality of electronic books containing
targeted advertising; and (ii) an apparatus for providing one or more subscribers with a plurality of electronic books containing
specifically targeted advertising. The Company intends to pursue patent licensing arrangements with eBook distribution outlets
looking to create new revenue streams for eBook downloads. The Company will also pursue any violators who infringe on the patent’s
claims, ultimately generating license revenues on a per-book or per-ad basis.
Revenue from patent licensing
arrangements is recognized when earned, estimable and realizable. The timing of revenue recognition is dependent on the terms of
each license agreement and on the timing of sales of licensed products. The Company generally recognizes royalty revenue when it
is reported to the Company by its licensees, which is generally one quarter in arrears from the licensees’ sales. For licensing
fees that are not determined by the number of licensed units sold, the Company recognizes license fee revenue on a straight-line
basis over the life of the license.
Creative IP Licensing
The Company also generates
revenues from the exploitation of WOWIO’s own proprietary content of creative material such as comic books, graphic novels,
screenplays, and other published and non-published content. The WOWIO-owned Spacedog library is available for sale on wowio.com
and the Company retains 90% of all sales for that content library.
The Company’s content
also generates nominal revenues from licensing stories/characters/concepts to studios and other producing partners. Licensing deals
that may generate revenue for the Company include film option/acquisition fees, television option/acquisition fees, video game
licensing, content licensing for apps, apparel and merchandise licensing.
Cost of sales includes
royalty payments made to the authors of the eBooks included on its websites, which call for royalty payments based on various percentages
of revenues earned, less processing fees and in the case of sponsored downloads, a fixed price per download.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, fair value
of common stock, preferred stock issued, fair value of beneficial conversion features, fair value of derivative liability and realization
of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its belief
of what could occur in the future considering available information. The Company reviews its estimates on an on-going basis. The
actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from its estimates. To the extent there are material
differences between the estimates and actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements
are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP establishes a
hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable
inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The established fair value hierarchy prioritizes the
use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and
must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs
other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active;
or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that
reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset
or liability. For example, Level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future
cash flows method.
The Company’s financial
instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, note payable and related party notes payable and convertible notes
payable. Except for the convertible notes payable, the carrying value for all such instruments approximates fair value due to the
short-term nature of the instruments. The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of its convertible notes payable as
instruments similar to the convertible notes payable could not be found.
The Company uses Level
3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative convertible notes,
preferred stock and warrant liabilities at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the statements of operations
that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative convertible notes, preferred stock and warrant liabilities.
Beneficial Conversion Features
In certain instances, the
Company entered into convertible notes that provide for an effective or actual rate of conversion that is below market value, and
the embedded beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) does not qualify for derivative treatment. In these instances, the
Company accounts for the value of the BCF as a debt discount, which is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the
related debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.
Stock-Based Compensation
All share-based payments,
including grants of stock to employees, directors and consultants, are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements
based upon their fair values.
The Company’s accounting
policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows ASC Topic 505. As such,
the value of the applicable stock-based compensation is periodically remeasured and income or expense is recognized during the
vesting terms. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the
date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s
performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is primarily
recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with FASB guidance, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance
of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s
balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes
under the provision of ASC Topic 740. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits included
in the consolidated balance sheets that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. Our practice is to recognize interest
and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. We had no accrual for interest or penalties on our consolidated
balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and have not recognized interest and/or penalties in the
statements of operations for each of the periods then ended. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, Texas and
California.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common
share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders
for the period by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as warrants, convertible notes payable
and convertible preferred stock outstanding during the period.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company evaluates
debt instruments, preferred stock, stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40,
Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could
be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance
sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value
is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument,
the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments
that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability
account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
From time to time, the
Company has issued notes with embedded conversion features and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Certain of the embedded
conversion features and warrants contain price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated
as derivatives. In addition, potentially in the future, the Company may have an insufficient number of available shares of common
stock to settle outstanding contracts. Accordingly, the Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded conversion features,
warrants, and derivatives related to the potential insufficient number of authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts using
Black-Scholes.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2015 Compared
to Three months ended June 30, 2014
The Company has been focusing on establishing
a product, customer base and related marketplace. As a result, the Company has only generated minimal amounts of revenue, which,
because of their size, can fluctuate without the influence of any specific economic trend. Due to a lack of sufficient operating
capital, the Company does not currently have a sales force and does not generate significant revenues. Our net sales decreased
by $51,042 or 100% from $51,042 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were from a $50,000 quarterly advertising campaign attributable to one customer.
Cost of sales decreased by $9,571 or 94% from $10,151 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $580 for the three

Other expenses decreased
by $30,712 from $255,140 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, to $224,428 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to
gain from a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $177,000, gain on settlement of accrued expense of $67,135, an interest
expense of $345,563, and loss on extinguishment of debt of $121,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $1,936 and
$552 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
We used cash of $128,816 in our operating activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Non-cash adjustments included $210,626 related to amortization of prepaid consulting,
$251,625 related to the estimated fair value of preferred and common stock issued for services, $67,135 related to gain on settlement
of accrued expenses, $333,500 related to excess interest expense of derivative instruments, $579,000 of loss on debt extinguishment,
$253,924 related to amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, and the change in fair value of derivatives of $1,075,000.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities consist of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $228,700, an increase
in accrued compensation and related costs of $132,773 and a decrease in prepaid consulting and other current assets of $1,200.
We used cash of $563,378 in our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Non-cash adjustments included $407,783
related to amortization of prepaid consulting, $185,231 related to the amortization of beneficial conversion features, $6,962 related
to amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs offset by interest earned on notes receivables of $6,595. Changes in operating
assets and liabilities consist of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $582,175 and a decrease in related party
payables of $29,611, a decrease in acquisition related liabilities of $70,144 and a decrease in prepaid consulting and other current
assets of $12,000.
We had cash provided by
investing activities of $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Our financing activities
provided cash of $130,200 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $562,500 during the same period in 2014. Cash provided
by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, reflect net proceeds from the issuance of notes and convertible
notes payable of $152,000, offset by principal payments on notes payable of $22,300. Cash provided by financing activities during
the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflect net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $50,000, net proceeds from the issuance
of notes payable of $792,500, offset by principal payments on notes payable of $280,000.
As of June 30, 2015, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $29,500,000. Management anticipates that future operating results will continue to
be subject to many of the expenses, delays and risks inherent in the establishment of an early stage business enterprise, many
of which we cannot control.
Going Concern
Our condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We cannot provide assurance that we will obtain sufficient funding
from financing or operating activities to support continued operations or business deployment.
Since our inception we
have reported net losses, including losses of $975,483 and $1,651,179 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
We expect that we will report net losses into the near future, until we are able to generate meaningful revenues from operations.
At June 30, 2015, our accumulated deficit was approximately $29.5 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation
as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund operations, implement its business model,
and ultimately, to attain profitable operations. The Company will need to secure additional funds through various means, including
equity and debt financing, funding from a licensing arrangement or any similar financing. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to the Company. Any additional
equity or debt financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders, restrictive covenants or high interest
costs. The Company’s long-term liquidity also depends upon its ability to generate revenues from the sale of its products
and achieve profitability. The failure to achieve these goals could have a material adverse effect on the execution of the Company’s
business plan, operating results and financial condition. The Company intends to raise additional financing.
The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer who is also our principal financial officer,
we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer/principal financial officer
has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, due to the deficiencies in our internal controls over
financial reporting described below.
|
· |
We had not effectively implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls. |
|
|
|
|
· |
We did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. |
|
|
|
|
· |
We did not adequately segregate the duties of different personnel
within our accounting group due to an insufficient complement of staff. |
|
|
|
|
· |
We did not implement financial controls that were properly designed to meet the control objectives or address all risks of the processes or the applicable assertions of the significant accounts. |
Management believes that the aforementioned
material weaknesses did not impact our financial reporting or result in a material misstatement of our financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On July 31, 2015, TCA Global Credit Master
Fund, LP (“TCA”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court of the 8th Judicial District Court of Clark
County, Nevada, requesting compensatory damages in the amount of $248,798.93 plus default interest and attorney’s fees, in
respect of the Company’s current default on a September 21, 2012 Credit Agreement, and other amendments and agreements ancillary
thereto, providing for an initial revolving credit facility of $250,000 to the Company by TCA. The accelerated interest is calculated
at the default rate of 18%. As of August 15, 2015 the Company has accrued a liability of $_170,026 related to the TCA claim and
it is included in the Company’s notes payable and accrued liabilities.

beneficial shareholder. On May 11, 2015, the Company issued a consultant 40,000 shares of Series E of the Company for service provided.
Each share of preferred stock can be converted into 8,342 shares pre-split, which resulted in total number of common shares convertible

service provided. During six months ended June 30, 2015, various holders of convertible note payable converted $228,943 in principal

a 1300 to 1 reverse stock split. All fractional shares were rounded up, shares issued prior to June 2015, have been retroactively
restated to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.
In connection with the foregoing, the Company
relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions
not involving a public offering.
