Note 1 – Organization and Business

 

usell.com, Inc., formerly known as Upstream Worldwide, Inc., through our wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “uSell,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and/or “our”), helps individuals monetize household items, such as small consumer electronics that they are no longer using.  From the inception of our business in 2008 through 2010, substantially all of our revenue came from the procurement, aggregation and resale of precious metals. In mid-2010, we diversified our business by introducing a service similar to our precious metals business, for cellular phones. We stopped offering to purchase precious metals in the United Kingdom and European markets during the fourth quarter of 2010 and in Canada and the United States in early 2011.  By mid-2011 we further adapted our business strategy and stopped offering to purchase cellular phones directly, although we continued to service packs coming in from prior precious metals and cellular phone advertising campaigns. In July 2011, we created an online marketplace where individuals interested in selling small consumer electronics that they are no longer using (“Consumers”) can educate themselves on current market values and sell their items to electronics buyers.

 

We utilize consumer oriented advertising efforts, such as direct response television commercials and various forms of internet advertising, to attract individuals to our website. Our services are free for Consumers and we partner with electronics buying companies to offer them a cost efficient customer acquisition model.

 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is our opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed with the SEC, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The interim results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any future interim periods.

 

Principles of Consolidation

  

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of uSell and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the amount allocated to intangible assets; the estimated useful lives for amortizable intangible assets and property and equipment; accrued expenses; the fair value of warrants granted in connection with various financing transactions; share-based payment arrangements; and the fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

Reclassification

 

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the financial position or on the results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Cash

 

We minimize credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of our primary financial institutions. At times, our cash may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. On June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our deposits exceeded the FDIC limit by approximately $2.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent obligations from our customers. We periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and consider the need to record an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. We did not deem it necessary to record an allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets represent amounts paid, in cash or equity instruments, in advance of a service being provided. Amounts are amortized into expense over the contracted or expected service term.

 

As discussed in Note 6, during June 2012, we granted an aggregate 3,660,000 fully vested shares of common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $1,152,900 to our Co-Chairman of the Board and an outside vendor for services. We recorded the amount as a prepaid expense and are amortizing the expense over the expected remaining service term.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

We review all of our convertible instruments for the existence of an embedded conversion feature which may require bifurcation, if certain criteria are met. These criteria include circumstances in which:

 

  a) The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract,

 

  b) The hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and

 

  c) A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to certain requirements (except for when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional).

 

A bifurcated derivative financial instrument may be required to be recorded at fair value and adjusted to market at each reporting period end date. In addition, we may be required to classify certain stock equivalents issued in connection with the underlying debt instrument as derivative liabilities.

 

For convertible instruments that we have determined should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, we record discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. Also when necessary, we record deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the financing transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

 

In addition, we review all of our convertible instruments for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature. Upon the determination that a beneficial conversion feature exists, the relative fair value of the beneficial conversion feature would be recorded as a discount from the face amount of the respective debt instrument and the discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Finally, if necessary, we will determine the existence of liquidated damage provisions. Liquidated damage provisions are not marked to market, but evaluated based upon the probability that a related liability should be recorded.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We review any common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivative financial instruments at each balance sheet date and classify them on our balance sheet as:

 

  a) Equity if they (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gives us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or as

 

  b) Assets or liabilities if they (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

 

We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

Revenue Recognition  

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions exist: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred, (c) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Consumer Electronics Referrals

 

Individuals responding to our advertising campaigns come to our website where they search our database for the item they wish to sell. They are prompted to answer a number of questions regarding the condition of the item and which associated accessories they have, if any. Upon completion of the appraisal questions, they are presented with a listing of offers to purchase their item from our partners. We earn a fee for providing our partners with customers and recognize revenue upon acceptance of the partner’s offer by the Consumer.

 

Cellular Phones

 

Cellular phones received in response to our advertisements to purchase them directly were appraised upon receipt from the public based on a variety of factors including the condition of the phone and its level of functionality. To maximize efficiencies, phones were received directly by our electronics partner, ReCellular, Inc. (“ReCellular”), who would perform the appraisal on our behalf.  The appraised value was used to determine the price at which we sold the phone to ReCellular.  On a daily basis, all of the cellular phones received and appraised were sold to ReCellular.  As a result, revenue was recognized the same day the phones were received from the public.

 

Phones were not returned to the public once they had been received.  In addition, no returns were accepted from ReCellular and upon delivery of the phones to ReCellular, we had no further obligations.

 

Precious Metals

 

We graded the quality of the precious metals purchased from the public and estimated the total quantity received. We then locked in the current spot rate of each metal sufficient to cover the total quantity received in the current batch with our precious metals partner, Republic Metals Corporation, Inc. (“Refinery”). After a holding period of at least 10 days the precious metals were delivered to the Refinery to be melted. Upon melting the precious metals, the Refinery validated the quality and quantity of the precious metals and would remit payment to us based on the quantity of the pure precious metals at the agreed upon spot rates, as described above. Revenue was recognized upon melting of the precious metals and the validation of the quality and quantity of each precious metal by the Refinery.

 

No returns were accepted from the Refinery and upon delivery of the precious metals to the Refinery, we had no further obligations.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Our cost of revenue pertaining to Consumer Electronics Referral revenue, consists primarily of costs to maintain our website, including depreciation expense on technology platform software. Our cost of revenue pertaining to the sale of cellular phones and precious metals included our cost of acquiring the cellular phones and precious metals, as well as any other direct costs and expenses required to ship, secure, grade, log and process the items internally. In addition, fees and other costs incurred in connection with processing at the Refinery were charged to cost of revenue.

We recorded $46,907 and $93,813 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as cost of revenue pertaining to prepaid refining services and $14,593 and $29,183 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as amortization expense pertaining to a non-compete agreement, both of which pertain to our service agreement with the Refinery.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expense amounted to $656,385 and $240,809 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $941,555 and $1,706,586 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

 

We account for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718: Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards, and at subsequent exercise or settlement for cash-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and performance shares, and estimated using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards such as stock options and stock appreciation rights.

 

Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from our initial estimates: previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in cost of goods sold or general and administrative expense, depending on the nature of the services provided.

 

Subsequent modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. Thus, a value-for-value stock option repricing or exchange of awards in conjunction with an equity restructuring does not result in additional compensation cost.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. As discussed in Note 6, on June 8, 2012, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a Reverse Split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Commitments

 

In July 2012, we signed a lease to move our corporate office. Our obligations under this lease total approximately $3,000 per month, and continue through the end of December 2013.

 

Legal Proceedings

  

In August 2011, the Florida Attorney General (the “AG”) initiated an official investigation into whether or not we engaged in unfair trade practices in violation of its “Little FTC Act.”  The investigation is due to consumer complaints.  We generally relied on third parties to handle the products we sold, the Refinery for precious metals and ReCellular for phones and smart phones.  Under Florida law, the remedies include actual damages, civil penalties, and attorneys’ fees.  To date, we have provided a comprehensive response to the AG demonstrating that we acted properly. Although we believe that we have not violated any laws, there can be no assurance that the Attorney General will agree. In April 2012, we met with the AG to discuss the matter and address their concerns. Though the AG’s investigation is ongoing, we believe that we will be able to reach a resolution that will not have a material impact on our financial statements.  We have not accrued a liability for this matter as we believe the likelihood of our incurring material damages or penalties is remote.

Note 3 – Fair Value

 

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities reflects our estimate of amounts that we would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of our assets and liabilities, we seek to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

  Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 We have determined the estimated fair value amounts using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We have based these fair value estimates on pertinent information available as of the respective balance sheet dates and have determined that, as of such dates, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value.

 

Note 4 – Acquisition

 

On February 29, 2012, EcoSquid Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Corp”), an entity owned predominantly by affiliates of uSell, acquired Fort Knox Recycling, LLC, doing business as EcoSquid.  The purchase price was $500,000 in cash. EcoSquid owned the intellectual property that we licensed in order to implement our comparison technology platform. EcoSquid had revenue and losses during 2011 that were immaterial relative to ours for the same period.  Aside from this transaction, Acquisition Corp. had no other assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses.

 

On April 24, 2012, we acquired 100% of Acquisition Corp. by issuing 350,000 shares of Series D preferred stock to the Acquisition Corp shareholders including 90,000 shares each to our then Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, and 25,000 shares each to our Co-Chairman and another uSell shareholder.

(Unaudited)

 

We valued the transaction at $500,000, based on the amount of cash paid by Acquisition Corp. for the acquisition of EcoSquid. We ascribed the full $500,000 to the comparison technology platform. This valuation is preliminary. We used the acquisition method of accounting in connection with the acquisition of Acquisition Corp. Accordingly, we recorded the comparison technology platform as software, valued at $500,000, in property and equipment on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

We incurred $30,924 in legal expenses pertaining to this acquisition during the first quarter of 2012, which is included in our general and administrative expense for that period. 

  

As discussed above, Acquisition Corp had no revenue or expenses. Therefore the only difference between the actual results reported and any pro forma results, as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2011, would be the depreciation that would have been incurred on the comparison technology platform. The pro forma depreciation expense would not have a meaningful impact on the losses recognized in 2011 and 2012. We therefore did not present any pro forma information pertaining to this acquisition.

 

Note 5 – Debt

 

Notes Payable

 

In October 2011, we received $70,000 from an investor pursuant to a note payable which we used for working capital purposes.  The note was due the earlier of six-months from the date of the note, or the closing of a financing transaction in which we raise at least $3 million in gross proceeds.  In lieu of interest, the note-holder was issued 19,053 warrants to purchase our common stock.  The warrants are exercisable at $0.74 per share for a period of five years.  

 

We repaid $35,000 in principal on this note in December 2011 and the remaining $35,000 in January 2012.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded $5,887 as interest expense pertaining to the discount on the note payable and $2,858 as interest expense pertaining to debt issue costs associated with the note payable.

Convertible Notes Payable

 

During 2011, we received $800,000 pursuant to convertible notes payable (the “2011 Convertible Notes”) which we used for working capital purposes. Of this amount, $325,000 was received from a large stockholder, $325,000 was received from our now Co-Chairman of the Board, $50,000 was received from our then Chief Executive Officer, and $100,000 was received from another stockholder.

 

The 2011 Convertible Notes had a one-year term, an annual interest rate of approximately 0.5%, and, following a qualified financing transaction involving common stock or common stock equivalents in which we received gross proceeds in excess of $500,000 (“Future Financing”), became convertible into our common stock at 50% of the lower of (a) the price per share of common stock, or (ii) the exercise or conversion price of any common stock equivalents used in the financing transaction.  A Future Financing closed and on January 27, 2012, the 2011 Convertible Notes were converted into 1,600,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 6).

 

During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded $389,583 as interest expense pertaining to the discount on the 2011 Convertible Notes.

 

We evaluated the conversion feature embedded in the 2011 Convertible Notes and determined that since the exercise price of the convertible debt contained a variable conversion feature, such conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a freestanding derivative.

 

At December 31, 2011, we determined that the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Convertible Notes was $29,837 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

On January 27, 2012, we determined that the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Convertible Notes was $15,508 based on the following weighted average variables:

 

Expected dividends     0 %
Expected volatility     356.11 %
Expected term     5-months  
Risk free interest rate     0.07 %

 

We recorded a gain of $14,329 during January 2012, representing the net change in the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Convertible Notes and, as the derivative liability is eliminated upon conversion, recorded the remaining $15,508 as additional paid in capital.

 

In addition, following the Future Financing, holders of the 2011 Convertible Notes received 8,000,000 warrants, which were not subject to the Reverse Split as defined in Note 6, to purchase our common stock at $0.20 per share. 

 

Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

Convertible Series A Preferred Stock

 

On November 18, 2011, our Board authorized the sale of up to 10,000,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock (“2011 Series A PS”), with a par value of $0.0001 per share.  The 2011 Series A PS have:

 

  a) Seniority and a liquidation preference over all classes of common stock, but subordinate to our Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock;

 

  b) Voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of our common stock. Each share of 2011 Series A PS is entitled to the number of votes that the holder would be entitled to upon the conversion of the shares into common stock;

 

  c) A stated liquidation value of $1 per share;

  

  d) No stated dividends; and

 

  e) Automatic conversion (subject to blocking provisions for certain significant shareholders) into common shares upon the consummation of the Reverse Split (as defined below) at a rate of five common shares for each share of 2011 Series A PS. Shares of the 2011 Series A PS are not subject to the Reverse Split.

 

During December 2011, we sold 4,045,000 shares of 2011 Series A PS for gross proceeds of $4,045,000. Of this amount $2,000,000 was received in January 2012. During the first half of 2012, we sold an additional 1,361,000 shares of our 2011 Series A PS for gross proceeds of $1,361,000, and converted $800,000 of our convertible notes payable into 1,600,000 shares of 2011 Series A PS (Note 5). In connection with the sale of the 2011 Series A PS, we incurred direct offering costs totaling $6,713. After the Reverse Split (as defined below), and without giving effect to certain blocker provisions limiting conversions, the 7,006,000 outstanding shares of 2011 Series A PS would convert into 35,030,000 shares, or approximately 86%, of our then outstanding common stock.

In January 2012, we offered price protection to the purchasers of the 2011 Series A PS (“Purchasers”) whereby if we sell securities, including options, warrants, or convertible securities, with the purpose of raising capital from investors, at a price, or with an exercise or conversion price, of less than the 2011 Series A PS conversion price (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware on November 29, 2011), then:

 

  a) the conversion price of any outstanding 2011 Series A PS shall be automatically reduced to the sale price, or the exercise or conversion price, or

 

  b) if converted, we shall issue additional shares of our common stock to the Purchasers respecting the common shares still owned by the Purchasers as a result of their conversion of the 2011 Series A PS, such that the average per share purchase price of these common shares then owned by the Purchasers is equal to the lower price offered in the subsequent sale of securities.

 

At that time, we determined that the price protection feature constituted a derivative liability and estimated the fair value of such liability to be $220,746 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate     0.76 %
Expected dividend yield     0.0 %
Expected volatility     357.47 %
Expected life     5-Years  
Expected forfeitures     0 %

 

We recorded the $220,746 liability and a corresponding debit to accumulated deficit on January 27, 2012.

 

On March 31, 2012, we determined that the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Series A PS was $347,768 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average variables:

 

Expected dividends     0 %
Expected volatility     379.08 %
Expected term     5-years  
Risk free interest rate     1.04 %

 

We recorded a loss of $127,022 during the first quarter of 2012, representing the net change in the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Series A PS from January 27, 2012 through March 31, 2012.

 

We estimated the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the price protection feature for the Series A PS sold in April 2012 to be $2,250 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate     0.88 %
Expected dividend yield     0.0 %
Expected volatility     380.49 %
Expected life     5-Years  
Expected forfeitures     0 %

 

We recorded the $2,250 liability and a corresponding debit to accumulated deficit in April 2012.

 

On June 8, 2012, our Reverse Split (as defined below) became effective and, subject to certain blocker agreements limiting the common stock ownership percentages of certain investors to 9.99% of the outstanding common stock, the 2011 Series A PS automatically converted into common stock. As a result, 5,356,000 shares of 2011 Series A PS were converted into 26,780,000 shares of our common stock.

 

We determined that the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Series A PS immediately prior to the conversion was $210,197 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average variables:

 

Expected dividends     0 %
Expected volatility     383.69 %
Expected term     4.57-years  
Risk free interest rate     0.72 %

We recorded a gain of $139,821 at that time, representing the net change in the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Series A PS from March 31, 2012 through the date of conversion. We then wrote off $160,693 of the $210,197 derivative liability, representing the value of the 5,356,000 shares of 2011 Series A PS that converted as described above, to additional paid in capital.

 

On June 30, 2012, we determined that the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the outstanding 2011 Series A PS was $4,372,451 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average variables:

 

Expected dividends     0 %
Expected volatility     403.96 %
Expected term     4.5-years  
Risk free interest rate     0.72 %

 

We recorded a loss of $4,322,947 during the second quarter of 2012, representing the net change in the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the 2011 Series A PS from the date of conversion through June 30, 2012.

 

On July 31, 2012, 676,198 shares of 2011 Series A PS were converted into 3,380,990 shares of common stock.

 

Convertible Series B Preferred Stock

 

On August 3, 2010, our Board authorized the sale of up to $4,000,000 of Units in a private placement (the “August 2010 PP”), whereby each Unit consisted of 100,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (“2010 Series B PS”) and 47,633 warrants to purchase our common stock. The 2010 Series B PS have:

 

  a) Seniority to all classes of common and preferred stock existing or issued in the future;

 

  b) Voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of our common stock. Each share of 2010 Series B PS is entitled to the number of votes that the holder would be entitled to upon the conversion of the shares into common stock;

 

  c) A stated liquidation value of $1 per share, and a liquidation preference of the greater of $1 per share, or the amount that would be due if all 2010 Series B PS shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event;

 

  d) No stated dividends; and

 

  e) An option by the holder to convert each share into common shares at a rate of 0.9527 shares of common for each share of 2010 Series B PS.

 

During July 2012, a shareholder converted 100,000 shares of 2010 Series B PS into 95,266 shares of our common stock.

 

Convertible Series C Preferred Stock

 

On March 25, 2011, our Board authorized the sale of up to 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Series C Preferred Stock (“2011 Series C PS”), with a par value of $0.0001 per share.  The 2011 Series C PS have:

 

  a) Seniority to all classes of common stock and all preferred stock issued in the future with a liquidation preference senior to the common stock;

 

  b) Voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of our common stock. Each share of 2011 Series C PS is entitled to the number of votes that the holder would be entitled to upon the conversion of the shares into common stock;

 

  c) A liquidation preference of the greater of the original issue price, or the amount that would be due if all 2011 Series C PS shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event;

 

  d) No stated dividends; and

 

  e) Automatic conversion (subject to blocking provisions for certain significant shareholders) into common shares at a rate of 1.9053 shares of common for each share of 2011 Series C PS.

 

On July 31, 2012, the remaining 14,797 outstanding shares of 2011 Series C PS were converted into 28,192 shares of common stock; therefore, there are no longer any shares of 2011 Series C PS that are outstanding.

Series D Preferred Stock

 

On April 24, 2012, our Board authorized the sale of up to 350,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (“2012 Series D PS”), with a par value of $0.0001 per share.  The 2012 Series D PS have:

 

  a) A liquidation preference equal to $10.00 per share;

 

  b) No voting rights; and

 

  c) No stated dividends; and

 

  d) Are not convertible into common stock.

 

On April 24, 2012, we acquired 100% of Acquisition Corp. by issuing 350,000 shares of Series D preferred stock to the Acquisition Corp shareholders including 90,000 shares each to our then Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, and 25,000 shares each to our Co-Chairman and another uSell shareholder. The shares were sold without registration to accredited investors under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) and Rule 506 thereunder

 

Common Stock

 

On June 8, 2012, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-52.4846 reverse stock split, which reduced our fully-diluted outstanding common share count to approximately 10,000,000 common shares (the “Reverse Split”). Certain securities that were outstanding at the time of the Reverse Split were not subject to the Reverse Split including our 2011 Series A PS; warrants to purchase our common stock that were issued in connection with our 2011 Series A PS; shares and warrants issued to shareholders in connection with the conversion of our 2011 Convertible Notes; and certain stock options. All share and per share amounts reported throughout this document have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

Shares Granted to Directors, Consultants and Employees

 

During June 2012, we granted 2,500,000 fully vested shares of common stock, having a fair value of $787,500 based on the quoted closing trading price of our common stock as of the grant date, to our Co-Chairman of the Board. The shares were issued as compensation for service on our board of directors for a one-year period. We recorded the amount as a prepaid expense and are amortizing the expense over the expected remaining service term. We recorded $328,125 during the second quarter of 2012 as expense pertaining to this grant.

 

During June 2012, we granted 1,160,000 fully vested shares of common stock, having a fair value of $365,400 based on the quoted closing trading price of our common stock as of the grant date, to a contractor for services to be provided over a one-year period. We recorded the amount as a prepaid expense and are amortizing the expense over the expected remaining service term. We recorded $152,250 during the second quarter of 2012 as expense pertaining to this grant.

 

Including the above grants, we recorded non-cash compensation expense of $478,083 and $71,853 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $490,561 and $144,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, pertaining to stock grants.

 

During July 2012, we granted a total of 2,000,000 fully vested shares of common stock, having a fair value of $700,000 based on the quoted closing trading price of our common stock as of the grant date, to our Co-Chairmen of the Board and 500,000 fully vested shares of common stock, having a fair value of $130,000 based on the quoted closing trading price of our common stock as of the grant date, to a consultant for future services.

 

Warrants

 

In connection with a settlement of an outstanding balance in our accounts payable, we issued 25,000 warrants to purchase our 2011 Series A PS. In connection with the Reverse Split, these warrants were converted into warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 and are exercisable for five years. The estimated fair value of these stock warrants on their date of grant was $25,000, which we estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

(Unaudited)

 

Risk-free interest rate     1.06 %
Expected dividend yield     0.0 %
Expected volatility     374.05 %
Expected life     5-Years  
Expected forfeitures     0 %

 

The $25,000 value of these warrants was included in the calculation of our gain on the settlement of accounts payable during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

In January 2012, we granted 8,000,000 warrants to purchase our common stock to the holders of our Convertible Notes Payable (these warrants were not subject to the Reverse Split). The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 and are exercisable for five years. The estimated fair value of these stock warrants on their date of grant was $50,383, which we estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate     0.752 %
Expected dividend yield     0.0 %
Expected volatility     356.11 %
Expected life     5-Years  
Expected forfeitures     0 %

 

These warrants were to be issued to the note holders upon the completion of a Future Financing. As such, we considered these warrants to be a cost of the Future Financing, the recording of which had a net effect of zero on our additional paid in capital account.

 

There was no expense pertaining to warrants recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 101,458 warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $17.96 expired unexercised.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 was $2,681,250 and $0, respectively.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

 

Company Overview

 

usell.com, Inc., formerly known as Upstream Worldwide, Inc., is a technology based company focused on creating an online marketplace where individuals interested in selling small consumer electronics that they are no longer using (“Consumers”) can:

 

  · Research the current market value for their items, based on the make, model and condition of each item,
  · Efficiently find and compare offers for those items from top-rated buyers,
  · Review satisfaction ratings and customer reviews of each buyer,
  · Determine the offer they wish to accept, and
  · Immediately complete their transaction directly with the buyer of their choice.

 

We have a low cost, highly scalable and flexible business model that allows us to quickly and efficiently adapt to entry into new markets, changes in economic conditions, supply and demand levels and other similar factors. We utilize consumer oriented advertising efforts, such as direct response television commercials and various forms of internet advertising, to attract individuals to our website. Our services are free for Consumers. We partner with reputable electronics buying companies that require a cost efficient customer acquisition model. The economies of scale that we generate by combining the buying power of multiple companies allow us to pass savings on to our partners which, in turn, allows them to offer the highest possible prices to Consumers.

 

Our corporate headquarters are located at 245 North Ocean Blvd., Suite 306, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441 and our phone number is (954) 915-1550. Our consumer facing website can be found at www.usell.com and our corporate website can be found at www.UpstreamWorldwide.com. The information on our websites is not incorporated in this report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In response to financial reporting release FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, from the SEC, we have selected our more subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining the methodology used in calculating the estimate, in addition to the inherent uncertainties pertaining to the estimate and the possible effects on the our financial condition. The accounting estimates are discussed below and involve certain assumptions that, if incorrect, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. See Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this report and Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed with the SEC for further discussion regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

Our more significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this report, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies during the period covered by this report.

 

Results of Operations

 

We help individuals monetize household items, such as small consumer electronics that they are no longer using.  From the inception of our business in 2008 through 2010, substantially all of our revenue came from the procurement, aggregation and resale of precious metals. By mid-2010, the market for precious metals had retracted and we diversified our business by introducing a service similar to our precious metals business, for cellular phones. During the fourth quarter of 2010, our cellular phone business began to gain traction and our revenue from the sale of cellular phones began to make up a substantial percentage of our business.  As a result of this trend, we stopped offering to purchase precious metals in the United Kingdom and European markets during the fourth quarter of 2010 and in Canada and the United States in early 2011.  By mid-2011 we further adapted our business strategy and stopped offering to purchase cellular phones directly, although we continued to service packs coming in from prior precious metals and cellular phone advertising campaigns.

 

In July 2011, we began to focus more intently on our core strength of cost-effective customer acquisition, by creating an online marketplace where individuals interested in selling small consumer electronics that they are no longer using can educate themselves on current market values and sell their items to top-rated, reputable buyers. This strategy also allows us to quickly expand into new product categories beyond cellular phones, such as smartphones, digital cameras, MP3 players, handheld game consoles, etc.

Our revenue demonstrates a strong correlation to our level of spending on advertising and marketing. Comparison of revenue, cost of revenue and the resulting gross margins for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 to the same periods in 2011 highlights the effects of the changes to our business over the last year, as discussed above. During 2012, our revenue was generated by earning fees for providing our partners with customers. During 2011, our revenue was generated by selling precious metals and cellular phones that we had purchased from the public. During the transition of our approach, we lowered our advertising expenses considerably while we tested our new message to Consumers and adjusted based on feedback and results. This resulted in lower revenue during 2012, as compared with 2011.

 

Our direct cost of revenue for generating leads for our partners consists primarily of costs to access and maintain our website, as well as depreciation expense on our technology platform software. During 2011, we paid individuals a percentage of the market value of the items we purchased from them. In addition, we had to maintain facilities and personnel to ship, secure, grade, log and process the items we purchased. In connection with the change in approach, we were able to eliminate these costs. As a result, we have a higher gross margin, on a percentage basis, during 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011.

 

Our sales and marketing expenditures represent one of our most significant costs, amounting to 115% and 27% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 121% and 47% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We utilize direct response advertising and marketing campaigns, including television, print and Internet to attract Consumers to our website. Our sales and marketing costs include production costs to produce and edit advertisements as well as the costs to run them. We manage our advertising and marketing campaigns, and make allocation decisions, by measuring their effectiveness based on a variety of metrics, including response rates, conversion rates and average revenue statistics. During 2012, our advertising and marketing costs exceeded our revenue as we incurred significant production costs to generate advertisements promoting our new online marketplace and optimized the placement of those advertisements. We have seen improvement in the return on our advertising and marketing expenses through 2012, as evidenced by the decline in total sales and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue from 134% during the first quarter of 2012 to 115% during the second quarter of 2012. In addition, this percentage declined each month within the second quarter of 2012, to the point where our revenue exceeded our total sales and marketing costs at the end of the second quarter. Factors such as the time of year and significant local or nationally televised events can influence the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.  We expect the Olympics in August and the presidential election later this year to have an impact on viewership patterns and to increase the cost of advertising.  As such, we have adjusted our advertising plans in an attempt to reduce the potential negative impact that these events might have on the cost of our media campaigns, and maximize the returns on our advertising spending.

General and administrative expenses include professional fees for technology, legal and accounting services as well as consulting and internal personnel costs for our back office support functions. In general, our general and administrative expenses for 2012, as compared to 2011, decreased as we scaled back our investments in our technology infrastructure, reduced our headcount, relocated to less expensive facilities, and reduced other expenses, such as travel, wherever practical. Offsetting the decrease, in part, is an increase in non-cash compensation expense pertaining to share grants for services to our co-chairman of the board and an outside vendor. We are continuing to diligently seek out ways to reduce our overhead costs and to maintain them at minimal levels. 

 

Other expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was attributable predominantly to a charge resulting from the change in the market value of the derivative liability pertaining to our 2011 Series A PS (as defined below). During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we also incurred interest expense associated with our 2011 Convertible Notes (as defined below), partially offset by a gain on the settlement of certain accounts payable.

 

Other income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was attributable primarily to gains on the changes in the market values of the derivative liabilities pertaining to our 2010 Series B preferred stock and our 2011 Convertible Notes, partially offset by derivative expense and interest expense associated with our 2011 Convertible Notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We utilize direct response advertising and marketing campaigns, including television, print and Internet to attract Consumers to our website where we help them monetize household items, such as small consumer electronics that they are no longer using. These advertising and marketing campaigns are our most significant use of cash from operations. Payment policies for these campaigns vary by advertising medium and by vendor. Payment terms vary as well, but in general payment for our advertisements is due within two-weeks or less of when the advertisement airs. Other significant uses of cash include production costs to create our advertisements, salary expense for our employees, and professional fees.

 

Cash receipts from our partners, for providing them with customers, are generally received by us within seven to 10 days of the order being placed with the partner by the Consumer.

 

We incurred a loss from operations of $2,293,700 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 (including non-cash charges for stock based compensation of $843,926). We used $1,843,297 in cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012 we had an accumulated deficit of $38,478,682, and a working capital deficit of $1,478,100 (including our derivative liability of $4,372,451).

 

In general, we do not require significant capital to make purchases of property and equipment. We do however employ several people, and use outside contractors, to develop our website and technology platform. The costs incurred pertaining to this software development are capitalized as property and equipment.

 

Our investing activities used net cash of $111,154 to purchase property and equipment. During the same period, our financing activities generated $3,319,287 in net proceeds, mainly comprised of proceeds from the sale of our preferred stock, partially offset by the repayment of an outstanding note payable to an investor in the amount of $35,000.  

 

During 2011, we received $800,000 ($550,000 during the first half of 2011 and $250,000 during the second half of 2011) pursuant to convertible notes payable (the “2011 Convertible Notes”) which we used for working capital purposes. Of this amount, $325,000 was received from a large stockholder, $325,000 was received from our now Co-Chairman of the Board, and $50,000 was received from our then Chief Executive Officer, and $100,000 was received from another stockholder.  

 

In 2011, our Board authorized the sale of up to 10,000,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock (“2011 Series A PS”). From December 2011 through April 2012, we sold 5,406,000 shares of 2011 Series A PS for gross proceeds of $5,406,000 and converted the 2011 Convertible Notes into 1,600,000 shares of 2011 Series A PS.

 

In January 2012, we offered price protection to the purchasers of the 2011 Series A PS which are triggered if we sell securities with the purpose of raising capital from investors, at a price less than $0.20 per common share. All of the 2011 Series A PS, other than shares subject to 9.99% conversion blockers, automatically converted into common stock when on June 8, 2012, in connection with the Reverse Split (as defined below).

 

On June 8, 2012, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-52.4846 reverse stock split, which reduced our fully-diluted outstanding common share count to approximately 10,000,000 common shares (the “Reverse Split”). Certain securities that were outstanding at the time of the Reverse Split were not subject to the Reverse Split including our 2011 Series A PS; warrants to purchase our common stock that were issued in connection with our 2011 Series A PS; shares and warrants issued to shareholders in connection with the conversion of our 2011 Convertible Notes; and certain stock options.

 

On February 29, 2012, EcoSquid Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Corp”), an entity owned predominantly by affiliates of uSell, acquired Fort Knox Recycling, LLC, doing business as EcoSquid.  The purchase price was $500,000 in cash. EcoSquid owned the intellectual property that we licensed in order to implement our comparison technology platform. Acquisition Corp. had no other assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses. On April 24, 2012, we acquired 100% of Acquisition Corp. by issuing 350,000 shares of Series D preferred stock to the Acquisition Corp shareholders. We valued the transaction at $500,000, based on the amount of cash paid by Acquisition Corp. for the acquisition of EcoSquid. We ascribed the full $500,000 to the comparison technology platform.

We do not yet have a sustained history of financial stability. Historically our principal source of liquidity has been the issuances of debt and equity securities (including to related parties), including preferred stock, common stock and various debt financing transactions. Losses from operations are continuing subsequent to June 30, 2012. We anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses from operations in the near future. We believe that our current available cash, along with anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months.  There can be no assurance that the plans and actions proposed by management will be successful, that we will generate profitability and positive cash flows in the future, that our diversification and expansion plans will not require substantial amounts of capital beyond our current capabilities, or that unforeseen circumstances will not require us to seek additional funding sources in the future or effectuate plans to conserve liquidity. Future efforts to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities may not be successful or, in the event additional sources of funds are needed to continue operations, they may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

In August 2011, the Florida Attorney General (the “AG”) initiated an official investigation into whether or not we engaged in unfair trade practices in violation of its “Little FTC Act.”  The investigation is due to consumer complaints.  We generally relied on third parties to handle the products we sold, the Refinery for precious metals and ReCellular for phones and smart phones.  Under Florida law, the remedies include actual damages, civil penalties, and attorneys’ fees.  To date, we have provided a comprehensive response to the AG demonstrating that we acted properly. Although we believe that we have not violated any laws, there can be no assurance that the Attorney General will agree. In April 2012, we met with the AG to discuss the matter and address their concerns. Though the AG’s investigation is ongoing, we believe that we will be able to reach a resolution that will not have a material impact on our financial statements.  We have not accrued a liability for this matter as we believe the likelihood of our incurring material damages or penalties is remote.
