Overview


We are a communications software innovator that powers multimedia social applications. We operate a network of consumer applications that we believe create a unique social media enterprise where users can meet, see, chat, broadcast and message in real time in a secure environment with others in our network. Our consumer applications generate revenue principally from subscription fees and advertising arrangements.





Our product portfolio includes Paltalk, Camfrog and Tinychat, which together
host and serve a large collection of video-based communities. Our other products
include ManyCam and Vumber. ManyCam is a live streaming software and virtual
camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming
platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools. Vumber is a
telecommunications services provider that enables users to communicate privately
by having multiple phone numbers with any area code through which calls can be
forwarded to a user's existing telephone number. We have an over 20-year history
of technology innovation and hold 14 patents.



We believe that the scale of our user base presents a competitive advantage in
the video social networking industry and provides growth opportunities to
advance our existing products with up-sell opportunities and build future brands
with cross-sell offers. We also believe that our proprietary consumer app
technology platform can scalably support large communities of users in
activities such as video, voice and text chat, online card and board games and
provide robust user monetization tools.



Our continued growth depends on attracting new consumer application users
through the introduction of new applications, features and partnerships and
further penetration of our existing markets. Our principal growth strategy is to
invest in the development of proprietary software, expand our sales and
marketing efforts with respect to such software, and increase our consumer
application user base through potential platform partnerships and new and
existing advertising campaigns that we run through internet and mobile
advertising networks, all while balancing the capital needs of the business. Our
strategy also includes the acquisition of, or investment in, technologies,
solutions or businesses that complement our business.



Our strategy is to approach these opportunities in a measured way, being mindful of our resources and evaluating factors such as potential revenue, time to market and amount of capital needed to invest in the opportunity.

Recent Developments



ManyCam Asset Acquisition



On June 9, 2022 (the "Effective Date"), we entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company,
ManyCam ULC, an unlimited liability company incorporated under the laws of the
Province of Alberta and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
"Purchaser"), Visicom Media Inc., a Canadian corporation (the "Visicom"), and
2434936 Alberta ULC, an unlimited liability company incorporated under the laws
of the Province of Alberta ("Target NewCo"), pursuant to which the Purchaser
purchased, effective as of the Effective Date, all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Target NewCo (the "ManyCam Acquisition"). Prior to the ManyCam
Acquisition, Target NewCo held all assets related to, or used by Visicom in
connection with, the business of developing and distributing virtual webcam
driver software, including virtual backgrounds and/or "masks" or other camera
effects (other than the Excluded Contracts (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement)), whether tangible or intangible, including, but not limited
to, Target NewCo's ManyCam software ("ManyCam") and related source code,
customer lists, customer relationships and all associated customer information,
contracts with contractors and suppliers, brand names, trade secrets,
trademarks, trade names, designs, copyrights, websites, all URLs, goodwill and
intellectual property associated with each of the foregoing (collectively,

the
"Conveyed Assets").



The Purchaser acquired the Conveyed Assets for a cash purchase price of $2.7
million (the "Cash Consideration"). In addition to the Cash Consideration,
Visicom is entitled to receive an additional payment of up to $600,000 (the
"Earn-Out Payment") based on the sales of the ManyCam software less chargebacks
and refunds ("Gross Sales") in the six-month period following the Closing (the
"Earn-Out Period") as follows: (i) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period
are greater than $800,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $600,000, (ii) if the
Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $700,000 but less than
$800,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $300,000, (iii) if the Gross Sales
during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $600,000 but less than $700,000, the
Earn-Out Payment shall be $150,000 and (iv) if the Gross Sales during the
Earn-Out Period do not exceed $600,000, then the Seller will not be paid any
portion of the Earn-Out Payment.



As part of the accounting for the ManyCam assets, the Company provisionally recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.8 with an offset to intangible assets related to the excess financial reporting basis over the tax basis of the Conveyed Assets.





On June 30, 2022, we entered into a License Agreement with Visicom (the "License
Agreement"), pursuant to which we agreed to distribute, at the discretion and
direction of Visicom, a specified number of ManyCam software updates to certain
license holders to whom Visicom has previously granted a "lifetime" license to
ManyCam software. As consideration for distributing the software updates,
Visicom paid us an initial upfront nonrefundable payment of $65,000. The License
Agreement provides that Visicom may purchase additional licenses at prices
specified therein. Other than providing a one-time, limited license to Visicom
for the distribution of ManyCam software updates pursuant to the terms of the
License Agreement, we do not have any obligation to provide support or service
to the licensee end users.


Macro-Economic Factors and COVID-19 Update





Our results of operations have and may continue to be negatively impacted by the
uncertainty regarding macro-economic factors, including the timing of any
economic recession and/or recovery and the overall inflationary environment

and
COVID-19.



The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the various attempts to contain
it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption.
COVID-19 continues to have an unpredictable and unprecedented impact on the U.S.
economy as federal, state and local governments react to this public health
crisis with travel restrictions and potential quarantines. Although our core
multimedia social applications were able to support the increased demand we
experienced from the second quarter of 2020 through the year ended December 31,
2021, the extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business
is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Adverse economic and market
conditions as a result of COVID-19 as well as the lifting of COVID-19
restrictions could also affect the demand for our applications and the ability
of our users to satisfy their obligations to us. If the pandemic continues to
cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions, our results of
operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially and adversely
impacted.



On April 13, 2020, to help ensure adequate liquidity in light of the
uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we applied for a loan under the
Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") under
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), and on
May 3, 2020, we entered into a promissory note with an aggregate principal
amount of $506,500 (the "Note") in favor of Citibank, N.A., as lender (the
"Lender"). On January 13, 2021, the Note was fully forgiven by the SBA and the
Lender in compliance with the provisions of the CARES Act. We do not expect to
incur additional indebtedness under the CARES Act.



We continue to serve as a form of safe and entertaining communication during
this global pandemic, and in order to help those affected in hardest hit
countries, will continue to offer some of its group video conferencing services
free of charge to select countries.

Operational Highlights and Objectives

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we executed key components of our objectives:

? acquired the core assets of ManyCam, a live streaming software and virtual

camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming


        platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools;




    ?   released the Windows version of ManyCam 8.0, an upgrade to the newly
        acquired asset;



? engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth") as our financial advisor and

investment banker to explore strategic initiatives focused on buy-side


        acquisitions;



? selected two marketing companies, to lead our increased marketing efforts


        for our Paltalk and Camfrog applications; and



? partnered with Hive Automated Content Moderation Solutions to roll out new


        content moderation software for increased user experience.



For the near term, our business objectives include:

? Adjusting our spend to better align with overall macro-economic conditions

and investing in a measured way that ensures responsible cash management;






    ?   working with Roth to continue to explore strategic opportunities,
        including, but not limited to, potential mergers or acquisitions of other
        assets or entities that are synergistic to our business;

? optimizing our acquisition of the ManyCam software to not only maximize

subscription revenue but to integrate and cross-sell with our existing


        customer base and explore business-to-business sales opportunities;

    ?   continuing to implement several enhancements to our live video chat
        applications as well as the integration of card and board games and other

features focused on user retention and monetization, which collectively


        are intended to increase user engagement and revenue opportunities;




    ?   continuing to develop our consumer application platform strategy by

seeking potential partnerships with large third-party communities to whom

we could promote a co-branded version of our video chat products and

potentially share in the incremental revenues generated by these partner


        communities; and




  ? continuing to defend our intellectual property.




Sources of Revenue



Our main sources of revenue are subscription, advertising and other fees
generated from users of our core video chat products. We expect that the
majority of our revenue in future periods will continue to be generated from our
core video chat products. We also have historically generated technology service
revenue under licensing and service agreements that we negotiate with third
parties which includes development, integration, engineering, licensing or

other
services that we provide.



Subscription Revenue



Our video chat platforms generate revenue primarily through subscription fees.
Our tiers of subscriptions provide users with unlimited video windows and levels
of status within the community. Multiple subscription tiers are offered in
different durations depending on the product from one-, six-, twelve- and
twenty-four-month terms, which continue to vary as we continue to test and
optimize length and pricing. Longer-term plans (those with durations longer than
one month) are generally available at discounted monthly rates. Levels of
membership benefits are offered in tiers, with the least membership benefits in
the lowest paid tier and the most membership benefits in the highest paid tier.
Our membership tiers are "Plus," "Extreme," "VIP" and "Prime" for Paltalk and
"Pro," "Extreme" and "Gold" for Camfrog. We also hold occasional promotions that
offer discounted subscriptions and virtual gifts.



We recognize revenue from monthly premium subscription services beginning in the
month in which the subscriptions are originated. Revenues from multi-month
subscriptions are recognized on a gross and straight-line basis over the length
of the subscription period. The unearned portion of subscription revenue is
presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets.



                                       17



We also offer virtual gifts to our users. Users may purchase credits that can be
redeemed for a host of virtual gifts such as a rose, a beer, or a car, among
other items. Virtual gift revenue is recognized upon the users' utilization of
the virtual gift and included in subscription revenue. The unearned portion of
virtual gifts revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets.



Advertising Revenue



We generate a portion of our revenue through advertisements on our video
platforms. Advertising revenue is dependent upon the volume of advertising
impressions viewed by active users as well as the advertising inventory we place
on our products. We recognize advertising revenue as earned on a click-through,
impression, registration or subscription basis. Measurements of impressions
include when a user clicks on an advertisement (CPC basis), views an
advertisement impression (CPM basis), or registers for an external website via
an advertisement by clicking on or through our application (CPA basis).



Technology Service Revenue

Technology service revenue was historically generated under service and partnership agreements that we negotiated with third parties, which included development, integration, engineering, licensing or other services that we provided.





In 2021, we recorded technology service revenue in connection with our agreement
to serve as a launch partner with Open Props, Inc. (formerly YouNow, Inc., and
referred to herein as "YouNow") and to integrate YouNow's props infrastructure
(the "Props platform") into our Camfrog and Paltalk applications (as amended,
the "YouNow Agreement").



Pursuant to the terms of the YouNow Agreement, once the integration of Props
tokens into our Paltalk and Camfrog applications was completed, we began
receiving Props tokens for providing a validator service and for allowing users
to participate in the loyalty platform. The loyalty platform was intended to
drive engagement and incentivize users financially by providing users with the
ability to earn Props tokens while using the Paltalk and Camfrog applications.
The net revenue earned was recorded under "technology service revenue" in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total net revenue value was
recognized as earned.


We determined the fair value of the Props tokens using observable daily quoted market prices on multiple international exchanges, as recorded on CoinmarketCap.


In August 2021, we received notice from YouNow that it was terminating the
YouNow Agreement, and that it would no longer support the Props platform past
the end of calendar year 2021. The YouNow Agreement was terminated effective on
November 23, 2021. We expect that the majority of our future technology service
revenue, if any, will result from opportunistic collaborations with third
parties, however, any such collaborations are not a primary focus for the
Company.

Costs and Expenses



Cost of revenue



Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based
compensation) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in data
center and customer care functions, credit card processing fees, hosting fees,
and data center rent and bandwidth costs. Cost of revenue also includes
compensation and other employee-related costs for technical personnel,
consultants and subcontracting costs relating to technology service revenue.



Sales and marketing expense



Sales and marketing expense consist primarily of advertising expenditures and
compensation (including stock-based compensation) and other employee-related
costs for personnel and consultants engaged in sales and sales support
functions. Advertising and promotional spend includes online marketing,
including fees paid to search engines, and offline marketing, which primarily
consists of partner-related payments to those who direct traffic to our brands.



Product development expense



Product development expense, which relates to the development of technology of
our applications, consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based
compensation) and other employee-related and consultant-related costs that are
not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, testing and enhancement of
service offerings as well as amortization of capitalized website development
costs.


General and administrative expense





General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation (including
non-cash stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs for
personnel engaged in executive management, finance, legal, tax and human
resources and facilities costs and fees for other professional services and cost
of insurance. General and administrative expense also includes depreciation of
property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets.



Impairment loss on digital tokens


Impairment loss on digital tokens results from the daily assessment of the Props
tokens' quoted market prices, as reflected on CoinmarketCap, and adjusting the
recorded carrying amount to the amount equal to the lowest quoted market price
during the period in which the Props tokens are held. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we recorded a non-cash impairment
charge in the amount of $7,262 and $184,737, respectively, which is reported in
our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, as a result of
recent decline in the quoted market prices below the market price of their

acquisition.



Key Metrics



Our management relies on certain non-GAAP and/or unaudited performance
indicators to manage and evaluate our business. The key performance indicators
set forth below help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the
effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts and assess operational
efficiencies. We also discuss net cash (used in) provided by operating
activities under the "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" sections below. Subscription bookings and Adjusted EBITDA are
discussed below.

                                       19



Subscription Bookings



Subscription bookings is a financial measure representing the aggregate dollar
value of subscription fees and virtual gifts purchases received during the
period. We calculate subscription bookings as subscription revenue recognized
during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized
during the period. We record subscription revenue from subscription fees as
deferred subscription revenue and then recognize that revenue ratably over the
length of the subscription term or ratably over usage for virtual gifts. Our
management uses subscription bookings internally in analyzing our financial
results to assess operational performance and to assess the effectiveness of,
and plan future, user acquisition campaigns. We believe that this financial
measure is useful in evaluating the performance of our consumer applications
because we believe, as compared to subscription revenue, it is a better
indicator of the subscription activity in a given period. We believe that both
management and investors benefit from referring to subscription bookings in
assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future
periods.



While the factors that affect subscription bookings and subscription revenue are
generally the same, certain factors may affect subscription bookings more or
less than such factors affect subscription revenue in any period. While we
believe that subscription bookings is useful in evaluating our business, it
should be considered as supplemental in nature and it is not meant to be a
substitute for subscription revenue recognized in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").



Adjusted EBITDA



Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
net (loss) income adjusted to exclude interest expense (income), net, provision
for income taxes, gain on extinguishment of term debt, depreciation and
amortization expense, other expense, net, stock-based compensation expense,
realized gain from sale of digital tokens and impairment loss on digital tokens.



We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management
and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance
and trends, to develop short- and long-term operational plans and to allocate
resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain
expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for
period-to-period comparisons of the cash operating income generated by our
business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to
understand and evaluate our operating results, and it allows for a more
meaningful comparison between our performance and that of competitors.



Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA





Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should
not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are
that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: cash capital expenditures for assets
underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or
for new capital expenditures; interest income (expense), net; other income, net;
the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; gain on the
extinguishment of term debt; and the provision for income taxes. Other
companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA
differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.



                                       20



Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside
other financial performance measures, including various metrics of cash flows,
net (loss) income and our other GAAP results. The following table presents a
reconciliation of net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for
each of the periods indicated:

Revenue



Total revenue decreased by 22.6% to $2,644,468 for the three months ended June
30, 2022 from $3,415,803 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease
was primarily driven by a decrease in subscription revenue and a decrease in
technology service revenue driven by the termination of the YouNow Agreement.



The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue,
technology service revenue and total revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2022 and June 30, 2021, the increase or decrease between those periods, the

Subscription Revenue



Our subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by
$561,203, or 18.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
decrease in subscription revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in new
subscribers as well as a decrease in virtual gift revenue across the Paltalk and
Camfrog applications. We attribute this decrease to the overall macro-economic
environment that may limit a customer's access to discretionary spending, as
well as, to a lesser degree, the lifting of various COVID-19 related
restrictions in certain of our target markets that prohibited individuals from
leaving their homes and ,as a result, customers are devoting less time to their
social applications.



Advertising Revenue



Our advertising revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by
$8,300, or 11.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase in advertising revenue was primarily due to an increase in the volume
of advertising impressions related to changes in and the optimization of
third-party advertising partners.



Technology Service Revenue



Our technology service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022
decreased by $218,432, or 100.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021. The decrease in technology service revenue was driven by the termination
of the YouNow Agreement, effective November 23, 2021. We do not expect to
generate a material amount of technology service revenue in future periods.

Cost of revenue



Our cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by
$30,966, or 4.9%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase in cost of revenue expenses was primarily attributed to an increase in
approximately $15,000 of salary and salary-related expenses and an increase of
approximately $25,400 of expenses related to ManyCam sales and was partially
offset by a decrease in web hosting expenses of approximately $14,400.



Sales and marketing expense



Our sales and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022
increased by $228,929, or 89.7%, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021. The increase in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase of approximately $217,600 in
marketing user acquisition expenses, including agent fees, as we began our focus
on increasing user engagement spend through the efforts of our third-party

marketing agencies.



Product development expense



Our product development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022
increased by $222,997, or 17.2%, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $155,200
related to software expenses and consulting services in support of our processes
to enhance user retention and improve monetization in the Paltalk application.



General and administrative expense


Our general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022
increased by $583,845, or 124.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 was due to an increase of approximately $244,200 in non-cash
stock compensation expense from the issuance of employee stock options, an
increase in professional fees relating to corporate matters of approximately
$105,300, an increase in insurance expense of approximately $123,600 and
increased amortization expense of approximately $40,200.



Impairment loss on digital tokens





We recorded a non-cash impairment loss on digital tokens of $7,262 and $184,737
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, as a
result of recent declines in the quoted market prices of certain digital tokens
below the market price of their acquisition.

Non-operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $40,367, an
increase of $287,240, or 116.4%, as compared to non-operating income of $246,873
for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in non-operating loss
primarily resulted from the gain from sale of digital tokens during the three
months ended June 30, 2021 that was not similarly recognized during the three
months ended June 30, 2022.



Income Taxes



Our provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as
applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company's year-to-date tax
provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we recorded an
income tax provision of $4,753 and $2,200, respectively, consisting primarily of
state and local taxes.


As of June 30, 2022, our conclusion regarding the realizability of our US deferred tax assets did not change and we have recorded a full valuation allowance against them.

Our subscription revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by
$854,229, or 13.6%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The

Product development expense



Our product development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased
by $455,874, or 17.6%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $316,500 related to
software expenses and consulting services in support of our processes to enhance
user retention and improve monetization in the Paltalk application. In addition,
there is an increase in subscription costs of approximately $100,400 related to
user engagement monitoring.


General and administrative expense





Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022
increased by $868,283, or 70.5%, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2021. The increase in general and administrative expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 was due to an increase of approximately $352,100 in non-cash
stock compensation expense from the issuance of employee stock options, an
increase in professional fees relating to corporate matters such as executive
agreements of approximately $247,700, an increase in insurance expense of
approximately $107,600 and increased amortization expense of approximately
$40,200.

We recorded a non-cash impairment loss on digital tokens of $7,262 and $184,737
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, as a
result of recent declines in the quoted market prices of certain digital tokens
below the market price of their acquisition.

Non-operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $805,955,
or 106.6%, as compared to non-operating income of $755,840 for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. The increase in non-operating loss was primarily attributed
to the gain on extinguishment of term debt of the $506,500 of proceeds from the
Note and the gain from sale of digital tokens of $247,293 during the six months
ended June 30, 2021 that were not similarly recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2022. The Note was entered into to help ensure adequate liquidity
in light of the uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.



Income Taxes



Our provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as
applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company's year-to-date tax
provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income
tax provision of $20,784 and $3,300, respectively, consisting primarily of

state
and local taxes.


As of June 30, 2022, our conclusion regarding the realizability of our US deferred tax assets did not change and we have recorded a full valuation allowance against them.
