General
CloudCommerce, Inc. ("CloudCommerce," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") is a global provider of cloud-driven e-commerce and mobile commerce solutions. Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we provide online merchants and leading brands with complete solutions for successfully conducting business with customers anytime, anywhere and on any device. Whether it is selling products or services online or making business processes available on the cloud, we deliver solutions that maximize user experience with real-time integration to enterprise applications. We focus primarily on four main areas to deliver exceptional value to our customers: engaging frontend design, robust backend integration, effective digital marketing and analytics, and complete solutions management.
To better serve our customers and create value for our shareholders, we strategically acquire profitable cloud commerce solutions providers with strong management teams.
Company History
CloudCommerce, Inc. ("CloudCommerce," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on January 22, 2002 and was formerly known as Warp 9, Inc., Roaming Messenger, Inc., and Latinocare Management Corporation. On August 24, 2006, the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors") and majority shareholders voted to change the name of the Company from Roaming Messenger, Inc. to Warp 9, Inc. to reflect a new strategic plan of focusing primarily on the business of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Warp 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is an e-commerce Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") provider. On July 9, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors and majority shareholders voted to change the name of the Company from Warp 9, Inc. to CloudCommerce, Inc. to reflect the Company's current business plan of strategically acquiring profitable CloudCommerce solutions providers with strong management teams. On October 1, 2015, our operating subsidiary, Warp 9, Inc., merged with and into Indaba Group, LLC, with Warp 9, Inc. being the surviving entity. The name of the subsidiary was changed on October 6, 2015 to Indaba Group, Inc. ("Indaba").
Industry Overview
Growth of Mobile and Digital Commerce
We believe there are a number of factors that are contributing to the growth of mobile and digital commerce, including the following: (i) accessibility and adoption of smartphone devices throughout the world; (ii) rapid advancements in high-speed internet and 4G cellular networks making the internet more available, reliable, and efficient; (iii) shoppers are more comfortable with the process of browsing and buying products from their mobile devices; (iv) the functionality of both mobile and desktop e-commerce sites continues to improve, a greater range of mobile payment options are available, and special offers and shipping discounts are making online shopping more attractive; (v) businesses are placing more emphasis on their digital commerce strategies as mobile and desktop commerce can reach a larger audience at a comparatively lower cost than the methods used to drive traffic to traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores. As a result of these growth drivers, we believe retailers and wholesalers have begun to build large, global customer bases that can be reached cost-effectively, potentially resulting in higher sales and profitability.
Opportunities for Outsourced e-Commerce
We believe there are advantages to outsourcing mobile and desktop e-commerce development and management that will continue to make solutions like those of CloudCommerce an attractive alternative to building and maintaining this capability in-house. These advantages include: (i) eliminating the substantial up-front and ongoing costs of computer hardware, network infrastructure and specialized application software and personnel; (ii) reducing the time it takes to get online stores live and productive; (iii) shifting the
-4-
ongoing technology, financial, regulatory and compliance risks to a proven service provider; (iv) leveraging the expertise of a mobile and desktop e-commerce service provider to accelerate growth of an online business; and (v) allowing businesses to focus on their specific core competencies.
Core Services
Our core solutions are creating optimal front-end user experiences, building enterprise back-end application integrations, driving traffic mobile e-commerce, desktop e-commerce and managed hosting.
Front-End User Experience
Without an optimal user interface, even the most technically advanced solution will not achieve great business results. Therefore, we design our solutions with the end-user first. From fast loading webpages, to user-friendly navigation, to high quality graphic designs, to useful organization of information, we apply industry best practices along with our deep internal expertise to deliver solutions that delight the customers in their online experience of a company's brand.
Back-End Enterprise Application Integration
In an increasingly omni-channel world, seamless integration between web channels, mobile channels, and brick-and-mortar channels, are critical in serving the demanding and technically savvy customers of the 21st century. For example, an e-commerce site without real-time inventory data will frustrate customers with backorders, impedes a company's growth, and erodes brand loyalty. These channels can integrate to each other through the cloud, or centrally through cloud-connected back-end business systems. Whether the back-end system is a full-blown enterprise resource planning (ERP) software like SAP and Oracle, or a medium size system such as Brightpearl, our expert teams can customize a solution using best-of-breed middleware, or custom engineering, to achieve any level of integration our customers desire.
Digital Marketing And Analytics
Once a solution is deployed, regardless of whether it's for business-to-consumer (B2C) or business-to-business (B2B) transactions, effective digital marketing and analytics are absolutely essential to ensuring online success. Our teams can perform a myriad of digital marketing services such as, search engine optimization, e-mail campaign creation, or social promotions. In addition to digital marketing services, we also apply data analytics to help businesses understand the behavior of their online customers to derive actionable refinements to business or marketing programs.
Complete Solutions Management
Our mission is to be a full service provider of cloud commerce solutions to medium, large, and global enterprises. From front-end design, to back-end integration, to digital marketing, our solutions are as complete as our customers want them to be. In addition to development, we can also fully manage our client solutions with services such as technology consulting, ongoing maintenance, hosting infrastructure build out and management. We are constantly expanding our base of talents and expertise to deliver a full range of solutions such as social, mobile, e-commerce, and e-business.
Revenue Model
We have a variety of revenue-generating models. We charge fixed or variable implementation fees to design, build and launch websites. In addition, we have several retainer arrangements for other services that vary in term length that provides reliable income. Our professional services are billed at hourly or monthly rates, depending on the customer's needs. We believe this flexibility allows us to attract customers while maximizing profits based on billable hours.

Benefits to Clients
Our complete solution of providing robust technology along with complementary professional services delivers many benefits to our customers.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership and Risk
Utilizing our services, businesses can dramatically reduce or eliminate upfront and ongoing hardware, software, maintenance and support costs associated with developing, customizing, deploying and upgrading an in-house e-commerce solution. They can have a global e-commerce presence without assuming the costs and risks of developing it themselves and take immediate advantage of the investments we continually make in our e-commerce systems and associated services. Our commitment to the latest technologies and e-commerce functionality helps ensure that our clients maintain pace with industry advances.
Revenue Growth
We help our clients grow their businesses by leveraging our experience to (i) increase the acquisition, retention and lifetime value of new customers; (ii) extending their businesses into new geographic markets; and (iii) expanding the visibility and sales of their products through new online sales channels. We have developed substantial expertise in online marketing and merchandising which we apply to help our clients increase traffic to their online stores and improve order close ratios, average order sizes and repeat purchases, all of which are designed to generate higher revenues for our clients' businesses and greater revenue for the Company.
Deployment Speed
Businesses can reduce the time required to develop an e-commerce presence by utilizing our outsourced business model. Typically, a new client can have an online store live much more quickly than if they decided to build, test and deploy the e-commerce capability in-house. Once they are operational, clients can make real-time changes to their online store, allowing them to address issues and take advantage of opportunities without technical assistance.
Focus on Core Competency
By utilizing our outsourced e-commerce model, businesses can focus on developing, marketing and selling their products rather than devoting time and resources to building and maintaining an e-commerce infrastructure. Management can focus their time on their core business while ensuring they have access to the latest technologies, tools and expertise for running a successful e-commerce operation.
Sales and Marketing
Our objective is to be a leading global provider of cloud-driven e-commerce and mobile commerce solutions. To achieve this objective, we have assembled a team of experts working collectively for the best interest of our customers.
During the client sales process, our team delivers demonstrations, presentations, proposals and contracts. Many new customers have been retained through email marketing, direct sales, and word-of-mouth referrals. Our direct sales efforts are aimed at senior marketing and information technology (IT) executives within a retailer or B2B company who are looking to create or expand their mobile and e-commerce operations. Word-of-mouth referrals have been very valuable to us and we intend to continue nurturing our customer and industry relationships to maximize these referrals.
In addition to our direct sales efforts and referrals, we have established and continue to explore channel partnerships to expand our customer base. Prospective channel partners include existing Magento development companies, hosting providers, ERP vendors, and e-commerce marketing professionals. With the growing maturity of multi-channel
-6-
mobile and desktop e-commerce strategies, many of the robust backend systems providers are looking for robust mobile and desktop e-commerce solutions, such as what CloudCommerce provides.
Competition
The market for e-commerce solutions is highly fragmented with vendors providing expertise in specific areas. Usually, merchants or online sellers must manage multiple vendors that supply specific services. We compete with other outsourced e-commerce providers as well as with companies that maintain their own internal teams and build their solutions themselves. The competition we encounter includes:
In-house development of e-commerce capabilities using tools or applications from companies including, but not limited to, Art Technology Group, Netsuite, and IBM;
E-Commerce capabilities custom-developed by companies including, but not limited to, IBM Global Services, and Accenture, Inc.;
Other providers of outsourced e-commerce solutions including, but not limited to Demandware, Volusion, UniteU and MarketLive;
Companies that provide technologies, services or products that support a portion of the e-commerce process, such as payment processing, including, but not limited to, CyberSource Corporation, PayPal Corporation and Authorize.net;
High-traffic branded websites that generate a substantial portion of their revenue from e-commerce and may offer or provide to others the means to offer their products for sale, including, but not limited to, Amazon.com, Inc.; and
Web hosting, web services and infrastructure companies that offer portions of our solution and are seeking to expand the range of their offering, including, but not limited to, Network Solutions, LLC, Akamai Technologies, Inc., Yahoo! Inc., eBay Inc. and Hostopia.com Inc.
Government Regulation
We are subject to various federal, state, and local laws affecting e-commerce and communication businesses. The Federal Trade Commission and equivalent state agencies regulate advertising and representations made by businesses in the sale of their products, which apply to us. We are also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general.
Employees
As of September 27, 2016, we had 28 full time employees, four of whom are employed in administrative positions, three in sales and marketing positions, and 21 employees in technical positions. All but seven employees are located in Colorado, with five located in California, one in Montana and one in Texas.
All of our employees have executed agreements that impose nondisclosure obligations on the employee and assign to us (to the extent permitted by state and federal laws) all copyrights and other inventions created by the employee during his employment with us. Additionally, we have a trade secret protection policy in place that management believes to be adequate to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets.
Seasonality
We do not anticipate that our business will be substantially affected by seasonality.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance of our future operating results.
We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and we expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had working capital deficit of $923,480 and $2,552,692, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred net losses of $7,492,111 and $404,210, respectively. The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales.
A significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject to a periodic impairment analysis and a significant impairment determination in any future period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations even without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses attributable to such period.
We have goodwill totaling $1,128,004 at June 30, 2016 resulting from the acquisition of Indaba Group, LLC. We evaluate this goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year and plan to conduct the next evaluation in conjunction with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2017. This estimated fair value could change if we are unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the market valuation of those business units decreases based on transactions involving similar companies, or there is a permanent, negative change in the market demand for the services offered by the business units. These changes could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance that could require a material non-cash charge to our results of operations.
We operate with significant levels of debt and rely on funding to operate.
As of June 30, 2016, our total outstanding debts were approximately $549,000. Due to operational losses, we continue to require funding from our lenders to cover operational expenses. Although we are not required to make quarterly or annual payments on the outstanding balance of our debt, interest accrues on the principal amount of such debt and the balance is required to be paid back at some point in the future. There is no guarantee that we will have sufficient funds to pay our obligations, nor is there a guarantee that our lenders will re-finance the debts or extend the maturity dates.
There is no guarantee that our lenders will continue to support us.
We may require additional capital to fund operations, finance additional acquisitions, purchase computer equipment, expand into additional markets, initiate advertising campaigns, or hire key personnel. Although we have positive working relationships with our lenders, there is no guarantee that the lenders will continue to support us in all the ways we choose to spend our capital. If our lenders choose not to fund the Company, then our operations may be halted, our growth may decrease or we may need to scale back on our expenditures.
We are operating at a loss and may incur additional losses in the future.
Our net loss for the year ended June 30, 2016 was $(7,492,111). To reach our business growth objectives, we currently expect to increase our operating, sales, and marketing expenses, as well as capital expenditures. To offset these expenses, we will need to generate additional profitable revenue. If our revenue declines or grows slower than either we anticipate or our clients' projections indicate, or if our operating, sales and marketing expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be reduced to an appropriate level, we may not generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
We are dependent on key personnel for our operations. If those key personnel were to leave the Company, operations may suffer.
Our performance is highly dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, we need to attract and retain other highly-skilled, technical and managerial personnel for whom there is intense competition. For example, if we are unable to hire or continually train our employees to keep pace with the rapid and continuing changes in technology and the markets we serve or changes in the types of services our clients are
-8-
demanding, we may not be able to develop and deliver new services and solutions to fulfill client demand. Our inability to attract and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel could materially adversely affect our ability to maintain and grow our business significantly.
If labor rates for key personnel increases, the increase may strain cash flows further.
Competition for labor could substantially increase our labor costs. Although we seek to preserve the contractual ability to pass through increases in labor costs to our clients, not all of our current contracts provide us with this protection, and we may enter into contracts in the future which limit or prohibit our ability to pass through increases in labor costs to our clients. If we are unable to pass costs through to our clients, our financial condition may be materially affected.
Future acquisitions may include an equity component that may dilute the positions of current stockholders.
As we search for additional companies to acquire, the components of the purchase price include a combination of cash, debt and equity. The issuance of a substantial amount of equity may have a dilutive effect on our current shareholders upon such equity being deemed free-trading. Although this dilution may result in higher trading volume, it may result in lower market prices, which may limit an investor's ability to obtain a return on their investment.
Even though the Company incurs significant costs while attempting to acquire other businesses, there is no guarantee that the transaction will be consummated
The Company incurs significant costs associated with both searching for companies to acquire and in closing a transaction. These costs include, but are not limited to, airfare, legal, audit and consulting fees. Because the merger/acquisition is not only dependent on both parties being dedicated to the completion of the transaction, but also the operational fit must be right, we may not close on all transactions we pursue. Incomplete transactions may result in significant capital out flows with no benefit to the Company.
If there is a triggering event that adversely effects the Company, then our intangible assets may be impaired, resulting in significant write offs.
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets represented approximately 75% of our total assets as of June 30, 2016. The carrying value of goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of identifiable assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. We are required to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually, as well as on an interim basis to the extent that factors or indicators become apparent that could reduce the fair value below its book value. Such factors requiring an interim test for impairment include loss of key employees, pending bankruptcy, loss of a significant client, declining sales, significant cost increases, change in management or declining spend in the industry. If it is determined that there has been an event that may reduce the fair value of our intangible assets, then we would be required to write off all, or a portion, of the balance recorded as intangible assets. Such a write off would reduce earnings during the period of the write off.
We may become a party to litigation involving intellectual property rights, employment violations, breach of contract, or other lawsuit, which may place a burden on management and cash flows.
Third parties have asserted, and may in the future assert, that our business, the technologies we use, or the business practices we use, infringe on their intellectual property rights or employment rights or that we are in violation of other rights or laws. Defending the Company against such actions may require significant time of management and substantial amounts of money. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims in the future or whether any future claims will prevent us from offering our products or services. If we are found to be in the wrong, we may be required to pay a significant amount of money which could include damages and attorneys' fees.
A portion of our services are provided by third parties which we do not control. Such third parties may provide poor service which may harm the relationships we have with our clients.
We currently, and may in the future, rely on third party providers to provide various portions of our service offering. If our business relationship with a third-party provider is negatively affected, or is terminated, we might not be able to deliver the corresponding service offering to our clients, which could cause us to lose clients and future business, reducing
-9-
our revenues. Any such failure on the part of the third party, may damage our reputation and otherwise result in a material adverse effect upon our business and financial condition.
A large portion of our revenue is concentrated with a small number of clients.
For the year ended June 30, 0216, three clients represented approximately 44% of our service fee revenue and we currently expect these clients will represent approximately 44% of our service fee revenue during the year ended June 30, 2017. Termination, reduction, or delay of our services under a contract could result from factors unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project such as factors related to business or financial conditions of the client, changes in client strategies or the domestic or global economy generally. Termination, reduction or substantial delay of services any significant client, or nonrenewal of any significant client contract, or the nonpayment of a material amount of our service fees by a significant client, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operation and financial condition.
If a larger number of companies compete with us, it may be difficult to grow or maintain our revenue.
Many companies offer, on an individual basis, one or more of the same services we do, and we face competition from many different sources depending upon the type and range of services requested by a potential client. Many of these companies have greater capabilities and resources than we do for the single or multiple functions they provide. In addition, we compete against other professional service firms that have substantial offshore operations with lower labor costs, which enable them to offer lower pricing to potential clients. We cannot be certain we will be able to compete successfully against these or other competitors in the future.
In addition, growth in our clients' e-commerce businesses may cause a client to consider making the necessary investments to process their e-commerce operations in-house. In such event, unless we can provide a more cost-effective solution to the client, the client may choose to terminate our services. There is no assurance that we will be able to provide a more cost-effective solution, or that any such solution will not reduce our profitability or be accepted by the client.
If we do not accurately price our fixed fee projects, the Company may suffer from decreased cash flows.
When making a proposal for, or managing, a fixed-price engagement, we rely on our estimates of costs and timing for delivering our services, which may be based on limited data and could be inaccurate. If we do not accurately estimate our costs and the timing for completion of a fixed-price project, the contract for such a project could prove unprofitable or yield a profit margin that is lower than expected. Losses, if any, on fixed-price contracts are recognized when the loss is determined. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of fixed-price contracts, including delays caused by factors outside of our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable and may affect the amount of revenue, profit, and profit margin reported in any period.
Our industry is dependent on quickly evolving technologies and knowledge. If we do not maintain proper technology or knowledge, then our operations may be adversely affected.
To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our services and the underlying network infrastructure. If we are unable to adapt to changing market conditions, client requirements or emerging industry standards, our business could be adversely affected. The internet and e-commerce environments are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our technology and systems obsolete. We must continue to address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our clients and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
Due to the low price and volume of our stock, a shareholder may be unable to sell shares, or may lose money on their investment.
The trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in operating results, announcements of material adverse events, general conditions in our industry or the public marketplace and other events or factors, including the thin trading of our common stock. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many technology-related
-10-
companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our operating results differ from our announced guidance or the expectations of equity research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the sec and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● |
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
● |
the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● |
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
● |
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which:
● |
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
● |
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
We have never paid dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future. As a result, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor's investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTCQB which may have an adverse material effect on our Company.
-11-
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our independent public accounting firm in their report dated September 27, 2016 included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Going concern contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. As a result, our financial statements do not reflect any adjustment which would result from our failure to continue to operate as a going concern. Any such adjustment, if necessary, would materially affect the value of our assets.
Because there is a limited market in our common stock, stockholders may have difficulty in selling our common stock and our common stock may be subject to significant price swings.
There is a very limited market for our common stock. Since trading commenced on the OTCQB, there has been little activity in our common stock and on some days there is no trading in our common stock. Because of the limited market for our common stock, the purchase or sale of a relatively small number of shares may have an exaggerated effect on the market price for our common stock. We cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell common stock or, that if they are able to sell their shares, that they will be able to sell the shares in any significant quantity at the quoted price.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
On April 15, 2016, the Company signed a lease for approximately 1,800 square feet of office space at 1933 Cliff Dr., Suite 1, Santa Barbara, California 93109 for approximately $3,000 per month, on a month-to-month basis which lease commenced on March 1, 2016.
On December 10, 2012, the management of Indaba signed a lease which commenced January 16, 2013 for approximately 3,300 square feet at 2854 Larimer Street, Denver, CO 80205, for approximately $3,500 per month. The original lease term expired February 28, 2016, but was extended until February 28, 2017, at a rate of $5,800 per month.
The Company may be involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time in the future. However, at this time there are no current legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the following:
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when the product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from professional services and site development fees. We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with ASC 605-45. We also offer professional services such as development services. The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-25, which are recognized as the work is performed. Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved.
Accounts receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations," where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
-15-
The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at June 30, 2016, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company's notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2015
REVENUE
Total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 increased by $1,481,398 to $2,079,743, compared to $598,345 in the prior year, an increase of 248%. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Indaba.
-16-
SALARIES AND OUTSIDE SERVICES
Salaries and outside services expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 increased by $1,698,817, or approximately 185% to $2,619,188, compared to $920,371 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Indaba and the additional costs of employees and contractors used to operate the combined Company.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A")
SG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 increased by $703,983, or approximately 194% to $1,067,777, compared to $363,794 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Indaba and the additional costs to operate the combined Company.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were zero.
STOCK OPTION EXPENSE
Stock option expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 increased by $335,383, or approximately 223% to $485,993, compared to $150,610 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to the issuance of additional stock options to key members of management.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 increased by $177,694, or approximately 2,926% to $183,767, compared to $6,073 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and additional fixed assets acquired with Indaba, and additional intangible assets associated with the change of the Company's name to CloudCommerce.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Total other income (expense) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $5,649,695, or approximately 1,726% to expense of $5,208,326, compared to income of $441,369 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to losses recorded as a result of the conversion of debt to equity (see Footnote 8 - Capital Stock), in addition to a decrease in the fair value of our derivative liabilities.
NET (LOSS)
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, CloudCommerce's consolidated net loss increased by $7,087,901, to $7,492,111, compared to a consolidated net loss of $404,210 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This increase in net loss is primarily due to changes in derivative liability and additional expenses related to the Indaba acquisition.
As of June 30, 2016 the Company had a cash balance of $49,663, compared to $19,051 as of June 30, 2015. The Company had a net working capital deficit (the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of ($923,480) as of June 30, 2016, compared to a net working capital deficit of ($2,552,692) at June 30, 2015.
Cash used in operating activities was $1,082,707 for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $749,635 used for the year ended June 30, 2015. Operating cash flow was negative during the year due to a net operating loss.
Cash used in investing activities was $3,181 for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to cash flow used by $2,355 in the year ended June 30, 2015. The increase in cash flow used by investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2016 was the result of the purchase of computer equipment and the Indaba acquisition.
-17-
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $1,116,500 for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $721,000 provided for the year ended June 30, 2015. The increase is due to additional borrowings during the year.
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.
As a result of the recent economic recession, and the continuing economic uncertainty, it has been difficult for companies to obtain equity or debt financing. While the credit markets have improved over the last year, it remains difficult for smaller companies to obtain financing on reasonable terms.
Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute current stockholders' ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities. The terms of the securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities which may have a further dilutive effect.
Furthermore, any additional debt or equity or other financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business. Further, we may not be able to continue operations if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations.
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
CloudCommerce, Inc.
(formerly Warp 9, Inc. )
Santa Barbara, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
CloudCommerce, Inc. (formerly Warp 9, Inc.) and subsidiary as of June 30, 2016,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CloudCommerce, Inc.
(formerly Warp 9, Inc.) and subsidiary as of June 30, 2016, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1
to the financial statements, the Company does not generate significant revenue
and has negative cash flows from operations. This raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

CLOUDCOMMERCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015
1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organization
CloudCommerce, Inc. ("we", "us", "our" or the "Company") is a Nevada corporation formerly known as Warp 9, Inc., Roaming Messenger, Inc., and Latinocare Management Corporation ("LMC"). On July 9, 2015, we changed the name of the Company from Warp 9, Inc. to CloudCommerce, Inc. to reflect a new plan of strategically acquiring profitable CloudCommerce solutions providers with strong management teams. The Company, based in Santa Barbara, California, began operations on October 1, 1999. The Company is a provider of fully hosted web based e-commerce software products.
Line of Business
We are a provider of mobile and e-commerce solutions for midsize online sellers, in the retail and business to business ("B2B") industries. Our solutions and services are designed to help multi-channel retailers maximize digital commerce revenues by applying our technologies and solutions for mobile e-commerce, desktop e-commerce, e-mail marketing, social media and other digital avenues. Offered as an outsourced and fully managed Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") model, our solutions allow customers to focus on their core business, rather than technical implementations and software and hardware architecture, design, and maintenance. We believe our products and services allow our clients to lower costs and focus on promoting and marketing their brand, product line and website while leveraging the investments we have made in technology and infrastructure to operate a dynamic digital presence.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through June 30, 2016. It is management's plan to generate additional working capital from increasing sales from the Company's service offerings, in addition to acquiring profitable service providers.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of CloudCommerce, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers, who are located nationwide. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis, based on contracted terms and how recently payments have been received to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollected. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The balance of the allowance account at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are $45,584 and $4,808 respectively.
-26-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, long-lived assets, intangible assets, business combinations, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes income when the service is provided or when product is delivered. We present revenue, net of customer incentives. Most of the income is generated from professional services and site development fees. We provide online marketing services that we purchase from third parties. The gross revenue presented in our statement of operations is in accordance with ASC 605-45. We also offer professional services such as development services. The fees for development services with multiple deliverables constitute a separate unit of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-25, which are recognized as the work is performed. Upfront fees for development services or other customer services are deferred until certain implementation or contractual milestones have been achieved. The terms of services contracts generally are for periods of less than one year. The deferred revenue as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $331,644 and $8,000, respectively.
We always strive to satisfy our customers by providing superior quality and service. Since we typically bill based on a Time and Materials basis, there are not returns for work delivered. When discrepancies or disagreements arise, we do our best to reconcile those by assessing the situation on a case-by-case basis and determining if any discounts can be given. Historically, no significant discounts have been granted.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were zero for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $57,654 and $61,157 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company's notes payable have stated borrowing rates that are consistent with those currently available to the Company and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of these debt instruments approximates their fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
-27-
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had no assets or liabilities that are required to be valued on a recurring basis.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at June 30, 2015:

Length of the lease |
Depreciation expenses were $21,721 and $6,073 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations," where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations,
-28-
liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at June 30, 2016, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
The Company operates in a single industry segment. The Company markets its services to companies and individuals in many industries and geographic locations. The Company's operations are subject to rapid technological advancement and intense competition in the SAAS industry. Accounts receivable represent financial instruments with potential credit risk. The Company typically offers its customers credit terms. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its enterprise customers and other than obtaining deposits pursuant to its policies, it generally does not require collateral. In the event of nonpayment, the Company has the ability to terminate services.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The transactions are accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our statement of income. There was no material impact on the Company's financial statement of operations.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended June 30, 2016, included compensation expense for the stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of June 30, 2016 based on the grant date fair value estimated. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, or has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $485,993 and $150,610, respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share require the Company to calculate earnings per share based on basic and diluted earnings per share, as defined. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and warrants to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the year ended June 30, 2016, since the Company reported a net loss, the
-29-
additional diluted shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect. Therefore, all additional shares that would have been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation were excluded, and the basic and diluted earnings per share numbers are identical.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets
and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Indaba Group, LLC
On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Indaba Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. As of that date, the Company's operating subsidiary, Warp 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with Indaba Group, LLC and the name of the combined subsidiary was changed to Indaba Group, Inc. ("Indaba"). The total purchase price of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) was paid in the form of the issuance of ten thousand (10,000) shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a liquidation preference of two hundred dollars ($200.00) per share and payment of working capital surplus in the amount of $55,601. As of the date of closing, Ryan Shields and Blake Gindi, two of the owners of Indaba Group, LLC, were appointed to the CloudCommerce Board of Directors.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $2,000,000, which was the fair value of Indaba at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Indaba were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Since the Company determined there were no other separately identifiable intangible assets, any difference between the cost of the acquired entity and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:
Tangible assets acquired |
417,700 |
|||
Liabilities assumed |
(193,889) |
|||
Net tangible assets |
223,811 |
|||
Non-compete agreements |
201,014 |
|||
Customer list |
447,171 |
|||
Goodwill |
1,128,004 |
|||
Total purchase price |
2,000,000 |
As of June 30, 2016, the Company has recorded an estimated fair value of the intangible assets of Indaba based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.
Pro forma results
The following tables set forth the unaudited pro forma results of the Company as if the acquisition of Indaba had taken place on the first day of the periods presented. These combined results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may have been achieved had the companies been combined as of the first day of the periods presented.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Domain Name
On June 26, 2015, the Company purchased the rights to the domain "CLOUDCOMMERCE.COM", from a private party at a purchase price of $20,000, plus transaction costs of $202, which will be used as the main landing page for the Company. The total recorded cost of this domain of $20,202 has been included in other assets on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2016, we have determined that this domain has an indefinite useful life, and as such, is not included in depreciation and amortization expense. The Company will assess this intangible asset annually for impairment, in addition to it being classified with indefinite useful life.
Trademark
On September 22, 2015, the Company purchased the trademark rights of "CLOUDCOMMERCE", from a private party at a purchase price of $10,000. The total recorded cost of this trademark of $10,000 has been included in other assets on the balance sheet. The trademark expires in 2020 and may be renewed for an additional 10 years. Therefore, as of September 30, 2015, we determined that this intangible asset has a definite useful life of 174 months, and as such, will be included in depreciation and amortization expense. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company included $517 in depreciation and amortization expense related to this trademark.
Non-Compete Agreements
On October 1, 2015, the Company acquired Indaba from three members of the limited liability company. At that time, we retained two of the members, who currently serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Indaba. Both employees have non-compete agreements in place to protect the Company against the risk of either employee leaving Indaba to compete directly with us. We have calculated the value of those non-compete agreements at $201,014, with a useful life of 3 years, which coincides with the term of the non-compete agreement. This amount will be included in depreciation and amortization expense until September 30, 2018. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company included $50,253 in depreciation and amortization expense related to these non-compete agreements.

5. LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has assumed an outstanding liability related to a bank line of credit agreement from the acquisition of Indaba Group LLC. As of June 30, 2016, the balances were $83,540 and $0, respectively.
6. NOTES PAYABLE
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company signed addenda to each of its outstanding convertible notes, fixing the conversion price at $0.004. Before the addenda, the conversion price for each of the notes was tied to the trading price of the Company's common stock. Because of that fluctuation, the Company was required to report derivative gains and losses each quarter, which was included in earnings, and an overall derivative liability balance on the balance sheet. Since the addenda, the Company has eliminated the derivative liability balance on the balance sheet and discontinued the gain/loss reporting on the income statement.
On March 25, 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the "March 2013 Note") in the amount of up to $100,000, at which time an initial advance of $50,000 was received to cover operational expenses.

8. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Options
On July 10, 2003, the Company adopted the Warp 9, Inc. Stock Option Plan for directors, executive officers, and employees of and key consultants to the Company. Pursuant to the now terminated plan, the Company could issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan was administered by the Company's Board of Directors, and options granted under the plan could be either incentive options or nonqualified options. Each option was exercisable in full or in installment and at such time as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan or of any option agreement, each option expired on the date specified in the option agreement, which date was to be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of an incentive option granted to a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each incentive option was to be no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option was granted (110% of the fair market value in the case of a greater-than-10% stockholder). The purchase price per share of the common stock under each nonqualified option was to be specified by the Board at the time the option is granted, and could be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date such nonqualified option was granted, but was to be no less than the par value of shares of common stock. The plan provided specific language as to the termination of options granted thereunder.
The Company used the historical industry index to calculate volatility, since the Company's stock history did not represent the expected future volatility of the Company's common stock. The fair value of options granted during the year ended June 30, 2016, was determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions:

As of June 30, 2016, the intrinsic value of the stock options were approximately $1,613,550.
The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The Company is currently discussing options to either extend the maturity date or refinance the balance due.

On April 18, 2016, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $500,000 to Bountiful Capital, LLC, the details of which are included in footnote 3 "Notes Payable". The Company's Chief Financial Officer, Greg Boden, is also the president of Bountiful Capital, LLC.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and the state of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.
Deferred income taxes have been provided by temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. To the extent allowed by GAAP, we provide valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for amounts when the realization is uncertain. Included in the balances at June 30, 2016 and 2015, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not recognize interest and penalties.

11. DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of June 30, 2016 and 2015:

At June 30, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12,565,000, that may be offset against future taxable income through 2036. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2016 and 2015 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Company's executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our management concluded
that, as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective due to the following material weaknesses:
1. lack of segregation of duties; and
2. failure to implement accounting controls of acquired businesses.
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take
measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
-41-
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention on timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are primarily due to the continued integration of the 2016 acquisition of Indaba. The small size of the Company's accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. We do expect to retain additional personnel to remediate these control deficiencies in the future.
Because of the above material weakness, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016 has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company's management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

Board Committees
The Board of Directors has not had an Audit Committee since February 2006 when Tom Djokovich, the sole member of the Audit Committee, resigned from the Company's Board of Directors for personal reasons. Since then, the Company has not reappointed an Audit Committee. Until the Company re-establishes an audit committee, the Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. Due to his experience in public accounting and his understanding of GAAP, we believe that Mr. Boden, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, fills the role of "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. Because Mr. Boden is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, he is not independent.

Any waiver of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and directors may be made only by the Audit Committee, when formed, or the full Board of Directors and, in the case of a waiver for members of the Audit Committee, by the Board of Directors. Any such waivers will be promptly disclosed to the Company's shareholders. A copy of our Code of Conduct will be provided to any person requesting same without charge.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table ("Named Executive Officers"), and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described below, our Board of Directors makes all decisions for the total direct compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. We do not have a compensation committee, so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.
Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards
Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive's total compensation package. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation.
-45-
To date, we have not applied a formal compensation program to determine the compensation of the Named Executives Officers. In the future, as we and our management team expand, our Board of Directors expects to add independent members, form a compensation committee comprised of independent directors, and apply the compensation philosophy and policies described in this section of the 10-K.
The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain, and motivate highly talented individuals when we do hire, who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the Board of Directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.
Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.
Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year.
Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives' efforts on the behaviors within the recipients' control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements.
Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate the Company's ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered. We currently have not given separation benefits to any of our Name Executive Officers.
Benchmarking
We have not yet adopted benchmarking but may do so in the future. When making compensation decisions, our Board of Directors may compare each element of compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers against a report showing comparable compensation metrics from a group that includes both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. Our Board believes that while such peer group benchmarks are a point of reference for measurement, they are not necessarily a determining factor in setting executive compensation as each executive officer's compensation relative to the benchmark varies based on scope of responsibility and time in the position. We have not yet formally established our peer group for this purpose.
The Elements of CloudCommerce's Compensation Program
Base Salary
Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The Board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. None of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us. Additional factors reviewed by the Board of Directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the year ended June 30, 2016, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the Board of Directors.
Our Board of Directors determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers at the beginning of each fiscal year, or during the year if needed, and the Board proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions.
Incentive Compensation Awards
During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Board approved a quarterly incentive bonus to the Chief Executive Officer, calculated as 3% of gross profit, payable approximately 30 days after the end of the quarter. This program was not continued into the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
-46-
Equity Incentive Awards
Our 2003 Stock Option Plan for directors, officers, employees and key consultants (the "2003 Plan") which authorized the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2003 Plan terminated upon the expiration of the remaining options granted under the 2003 Plan on May 24, 2014. In the future, we plan to establish a new management stock option plan pursuant to which stock options may be authorized and granted to our executive officers, directors, employees and key consultants. We expect to authorize up to 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock for future issuance under such plan. We believe that stock option awards motivate our employees to work to improve our business and stock price performance, thereby further linking the interests of our senior management and our stockholders. The Board considers several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer, including those previously described, as well as the executive's position, his or her performance and responsibilities, and the amount of options, if any, currently held by the officer and their vesting schedule. Our policy prohibits backdating options or granting them retroactively. As of June 30, 2014, no stock options granted under the 2013 Plan remain outstanding and the 2003 Plan has been terminated. As of June 30, 2016, 123,000,000 stock options granted outside of the 2003 Plan are outstanding.
Benefits and Prerequisites
At this stage of our business we have limited benefits and no prerequisites for our employees other than paid time off that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws.
