NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization
 
RumbleOn, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in October 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Smart Server, Inc. (“Smart Server”). On February 13, 2017, the Company changed its name from Smart Server, Inc. to RumbleOn, Inc.
 
Description of Business
 
Smart Server was originally formed to engage in the business of designing and developing mobile application payment software for smart phones and tablet computers. After Smart Server ceased its technology development activities in 2014, it had no operations and nominal assets, meeting the definition of a “shell company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and regulations thereunder.
 
In July 2016, Berrard Holdings Limited Partnership (“Berrard Holdings”) acquired 99.5% of the common stock of the Company from the principal stockholder. Shortly after the Berrard Holdings common stock purchase, the Company began exploring the development of a capital light e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned vehicles in one online location and in April 2017, the Company launched its platform. The Company’s goal is to transform the way pre-owned vehicles are bought and sold by providing users with the most efficient, timely and transparent transaction experience. The Company's initial emphasis has been motorcycles and other powersports, however, the Company's platform is able to accommodate any VIN-specific vehicle including motorcycles, ATVs, boats, RVs, cars and trucks.
 
Serving both consumers and dealers, through its online marketplace platform, the Company makes cash offers for the purchase of pre-owned vehicles. In addition, the Company offers a large inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. The Company’s operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with its regional partners, including dealers and auctions. The Company utilizes regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. These regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs.
 
The Company business model is driven by a technology platform it acquired in February 2017, through its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NextGen Dealer Solutions, LLC (“NextGen”). The acquired system provides integrated vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive the Company’s online marketplace. Over the past 16 years, the developers of the software have designed and built high-quality application solutions for both dealers and large multi-national clients.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The information at December 31, 2017 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this quarterly report was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2018, and as amended on March 30, 2018. The Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the information incorporated by reference into such report, is referred to in this quarterly report as the “2017 Annual Report.” This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, carrying value of intangible assets, sales returns, receivables valuation, taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260- Earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the Company’s payment is probable.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each year. Goodwill will also be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. The Company has concluded that currently it has one reporting unit. Goodwill is being amortized for income tax purposes over a 15-year period. There was no impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2018.
 
Technology Development Costs
 
Technology development costs are accounted for pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Technology development costs include internally developed software and website applications that are used by the Company for its own internal use and to provide services to its customers, which include consumers, dealer partners and ancillary service providers. Under the terms of these customer arrangements the Company retains the revenue generating technology and hosts the applications on its servers and mobile applications. The customer does not have a contractual right to take possession of the software during the term of the arrangement and are not permitted to run the software itself or contract with another party unrelated to the entity to host the software. Technology development costs consist principally of (i) development activities including payroll and related expenses billed by a third-party contractor involved in application, content, production, maintenance, operation, and platform development for new and existing products and services, (ii) technology infrastructure expenses, and (iii) costs of Company employees devoted to the development and maintenance of software products. Technology and content costs for design, maintenance and post-implementation stages of internal-use software and general website development are expensed as incurred. For costs incurred to develop new website functionality as well as new software products and significant upgrades to existing internally used platforms or modules, capitalization begins during the application development stage and ends when the software is available for general use. Capitalized technology development is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 7 years. The Company will perform periodic assessment of the useful lives assigned to capitalized software applications. Additionally, the Company from time-to-time may abandon additional development activities relating to specific software projects or applications and charge accumulated costs to technology development expense in the period such determination is made.
 
Vehicle Inventory
 
Vehicle inventory is accounted for pursuant to ASC 330, Inventory, and consists of the cost to acquire and recondition a pre-owned vehicle. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and includes parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to a specific vehicle. Transportation costs are expensed as incurred. Pre-owned inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Pre-owned vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn times of similar vehicles, as well as independent market resources. Each reporting period, the Company recognizes any necessary adjustments to reflect pre-owned vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through Cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all cash accounts and all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three-months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three-months.
 
Restricted Cash
 
In connection with the execution of the Inventory Financing and Security Agreement, (“the Credit Facility”) by and among the Company’s subsidiary, RMBL Missouri, LLC (‘RMBL MO’), Ally Bank (“Ally”) and Ally Financial, Inc., dated February 16, 2018 the parties entered into a Credit Balance Agreement, and so long as the Company owes any debt to Ally or until the bank otherwise consents, the Company agrees to maintain a Credit Balance at Ally of 1) at least 10% of the amount of the Company’s approved and available credit line under the Credit Facility and 2) no greater than 25% of the total principal amount owed to Ally for inventory financed under the Credit Facility.
 
Property and Equipment, Net
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and consists of capitalized technology development costs, furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Costs of significant additions, renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
 
Advertising and Marketing Costs
 
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising and marketing expenses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $2,229,837 and $242,906, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, advertising and marketing expenses was $3,352,135 and $269,036, respectively.
 
Debt Issuance Costs
 
Debt issuance costs are accounted for pursuant to FASB ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts.
 
Recent Pronouncements
 
The Company has adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, related to revenue recognition. This ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions and the effective date of ASU 2014-09, provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and the timing of when it is recognized. The entity will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company primarily sells products and recognizes revenue at the point of sale or delivery to customers, at which point the earnings process is deemed to be complete. The Company's performance obligations are identifiable, and the adoption of this standard did not require any changes to the assessment of such performance obligations or the timing of the Company's revenue recognition as a result of the adoption of the new standard.
 
The Company has adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. The amendments of this ASU update the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments, or embedded features, with down round features, as well as clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 during 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2016-02) related to the accounting for leases. This pronouncement requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet while also disclosing key information about those lease arrangements. Under the new guidance, lease classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease will affect the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The classification criteria to distinguish between finance and operating leases are generally consistent with the classification criteria to distinguish between capital and operating leases under existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We expect to adopt the new standard for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with practical expedients available for election as a package. We are still evaluating the impact of the new standard on our financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS
 
On February 8, 2017, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of NextGen in exchange for $750,000 in cash, plus 1,523,809 unregistered shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, which were issued at a negotiated fair value of $1.75 per share and a subordinated secured promissory note issued by the Company in favor of NextGen in the amount of $1,333,334 (the “NextGen Note”). The NextGen Note matures on the third anniversary of the closing date (the “Maturity Date”). During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company finalized the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded at the acquisition date and made a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation which included:(i) an increase to technology development of $1,500,000; (ii) a decrease in goodwill of $1,390,000; (iii) a decrease to customer contracts of $10,000; and (iv) a decrease to non-compete agreements of $100,000. The measurement period adjustment would have resulted in a $63,750 and $102,500 net increase in accumulated amortization and amortization expense previously recorded for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2017. This measurement period adjustment is reflected in the table below. The Company made these measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and did not result from intervening events subsequent to such date.

Notes Payable-Private Placement
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company completed funding of the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement (as defined below). The investors were issued 1,161,920 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company and promissory notes in the amount of $667,000 (the “Private Placement Notes”), in consideration of cancellation of loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount committed by the purchasers of $1,350,000. Under the terms of the Private Placement Notes, interest shall accrue on the outstanding and unpaid principal amounts until paid in full. The Private Placement Notes mature on March 31, 2020. Interest accrues at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the maturity date.

Based on the relative fair values attributed to the Class B Common Stock and the Private Placement Notes, the Company recorded a debt discount on the Private Promissory Notes of $667,000 with the corresponding amounts as addition to paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Private Placement Notes in March 2020 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at June 30, 2018 was 26.0%. Interest expense on the Private Placement Notes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $63,893 and $121,698, respectively, which included debt discount amortization of $49,913 and $97,028, respectively for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Line of Credit-Floor Plans
 
On November 2, 2017, the Company, through RMBL MO, entered into a floor plan line of credit (the “Floor Plan Line”) with NextGear Capital, Inc. (“NextGear”) in the amount of $2,000,000, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of RMBL MO from time to time, pursuant to that certain Demand Promissory Note and Loan and Security Agreement. Any advance under the Floor Plan Line bears interest on a per annum basis from the date of the request of such advance (or date of the financed receivable, as applicable), based upon a 360-day year, and such interest shall be compounded daily until such outstanding advances are paid in full at a rate of interest set forth in schedules published by NextGear. As of December 31, 2017, the effective rate of interest was 6.5%. Advances and interest under the Floor Plan Line are due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 150 days from the date of request for the advance (or the date of purchase in the case of a universal funding agreement), or of the receivable, as applicable. The Floor Plan Line was secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of RMBL MO and payment was guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of the NextGear and its affiliates. On February 20, 2018, the Company notified NextGear that it was terminating the Floor Plan Line, and all security or other credit documents entered into in connection therewith. At the time of the notification, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the Floor Plan Line.
 
On February 16, 2018, the Company, through RMBL MO, entered into the Credit Facility pursuant to which Ally may provide up to $25 million in financing, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of RMBL MO from time to time, as part of its floorplan vehicle financing program. Advances under the Credit Facility require RMBL, MO to maintain 10.0% of the advanced amount as restricted cash.  Advances under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate designated from time to time by Ally and will be determined using a 365/360 simple interest method of calculation, unless expressly prohibited by law. Advances under the Credit Facility, if not demanded earlier, are due and payable for each vehicle financed under the Credit Facility as and when such vehicle is sold, leased, consigned, gifted, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disposed of. Interest under the Credit Facility is due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 60 days from the date of request for payment.  Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, the RMBL MO obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Credit Facility), Ally may, at its option and without notice to RMBL MO, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Ally and its affiliates by RMBL MO and its affiliates. The Credit Facility is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of RMBL MO and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of Ally and secured by the Company pursuant to a General Security Agreement. Interest expense on the Credit Facility for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $3,517 and $9,600, respectively
 
Loan Agreement-Hercules Capital
 
On April 30, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, and it wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Hercules Capital, Inc. a Maryland Corporation ("Hercules") pursuant to which Hercules may provide one or more term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15 million (the "Loan"). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, $5.0 million was funded at closing with the balance available in two additional tranches over the term of the Loan Agreement, subject to certain operating targets and otherwise as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan has an initial 36-month maturity and initial 10.5% interest rate.
 
Under the Loan Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company issued Hercules a warrant to purchase 81,818 (increasing to 109,091 if a fourth tranche in the principal amount of up to $5.0 million is advanced at the parties agreement) shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price of $5.50 per share (the “Warrant Price”). The Warrant is immediately exercisable and expires on April 30, 2023. If at any time before April 30, 2019, the Company makes a New Issuance (as defined below) for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the New Issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”) or the consideration for an issuance is later adjusted downward with certain exceptions as set forth in the Warrant, then the Warrant Price will be reduced to an amount equal to the lower consideration price or adjusted exercise price or conversion price (the “New Issuance Price”).  If at any time after April 30, 2019, the Company makes a Dilutive Issuance, then the Warrant Price will be reduced to the amount computed using the following formula:  A*[(C+D)/B].  For purposes of this formula, (i) A represents the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) B represents the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the New Issuance (on a fully-diluted basis), (iii) C represents the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before the New Issuance (on a fully-diluted basis), and (iv) D represents the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable for total consideration to be received for the New Issuance if the purchaser paid the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issuance.  New Issuance shall mean (A) any issuance or sale by the Company of any class of shares of the Company (including the issuance or sale of any shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company) other than certain excluded securities as set forth in the Warrant, (B) any issuance or sale by the Company of any options, rights or warrants to subscribe for any class of shares of the Company other than certain excluded securities as set forth in the Warrant, or (C) the issuance or sale of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any class of shares of the Company other than certain excluded securities as set forth in the Warrant.

Advances under the Loan ("Advances") will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of either (i) the prime rate plus 5.75%, and (ii) 10.25%, based on a year consisting of 360 days. Advances under the Loan Agreement are due and payable on May 1, 2021, unless Borrowers achieve certain performance milestones, in which case Advances will be due and payable on November 1, 2021.
 
Upon any event of default, Hercules may, at its option, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Hercules by Borrowers. In connection with the Loan Agreement, Hercules required the holders of the NextGen Note and the Private Placement Notes to enter into subordination agreements and required Ally to enter into an intercreditor agreement.
 
The Loan is secured by a grant of a security interest in substantially all assets of the Borrowers (the “Collateral”), except the Collateral does not include (a) certain outstanding equity of Borrowers' foreign subsidiaries, if any, or (b) nonassignable licenses or contracts of Borrowers, if any. The effective interest rate at June 30, 2018 was 22.0%. Interest expense on the Loan for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $149,115, which included amortization of issuance costs of $57,657.
 
NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
On June 30, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the RumbleOn Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other equity awards may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The purposes of the Plan are to attract, retain, reward and motivate talented, motivated and loyal employees and other service providers (“Eligible Individuals”) by providing them with an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company and to incentivize them to expend maximum effort for the growth and success of the Company, so as to strengthen the mutuality of the interests between such persons and the stockholders of the Company. The Plan allows the Company to grant a variety of stock-based and cash-based awards to Eligible Individuals. On June 25, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of Class B Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan from twelve percent (12%) of all issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock from time to time to 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. The Company estimates the fair value of awards granted under the Plan on the date of grant. The fair value of an RSU is based on the average of the high and low market prices of the Company’s Class B Common Stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has granted 1,202,000 RSUs under the Plan to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the RSUs, net of expected forfeitures was $4,968,720 as of June 30, 2018. The RSUs generally vest over a three-year period as follows: (i) 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and (iii) 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of the grant is amortized over the period from the grant date through the vesting dates. Forfeitures are based on the historic employee behavior under similar stock-based compensation plans. Compensation expense recognized for these grants for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 is $349,388 and $676,095, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has approximately $3,789,603 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, with an average remaining vesting period of 2.75 years. Compensation expense recognized for the grants for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $129,787.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
 
U.S. Tax Reform
 
On December 22, 2017, legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act, was signed into law. The Tax Act, among other changes, reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires taxpayers to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.  On June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any foreign subsidiaries and the international aspects of the Tax Act are not applicable.
 
In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 26.1%. The remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax balance was primarily offset by application of its valuation allowance.
 
In projecting the Company’s income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, management has concluded it is not likely to recognize the benefit of its deferred tax asset, net of deferred tax liabilities, and as a result a full valuation allowance will be required. As such, no income tax benefit has been recorded for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2017, the Company had an operating loss carryforward of approximately $8,740,879 which begins to expire in 2033. We have provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of $2,149,654 for the year ended December 31, 2017.  In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

NOTE 10 – LOSS PER SHARE
 
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 did not include 1,202,000 of RSUs and 300,068 of warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock as their inclusion would be antidilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 did not include 560,000 of RSUs to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
 
NOTE 11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,480,000 in a private placement (the “2017 Private Placement”). Also, in May 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. Officers and directors of the Company acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement.
 
A key component of the Company’s business model is to utilize regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles as well as utilize these regional partners to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. These regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. In connection with the development of the regional partner program, the Company tested various aspects of the program by utilizing a dealership (the “Dealer”) to which Mr. Chesrown, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has provided financing in the form of a $400,000 promissory note. The note matures on May 1, 2019 and interest is payable monthly at 5% per annum. Revenue recognized by the Company from the Dealer for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $506,500 and $605,005 or 3.6% and 2.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total Revenue. Cost of revenue recognized by the Company from the Dealer for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $458,356 and $551,847 or 3.6% and 2.7%, respectively of the Company’s total Cost of revenue. Included in Accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 is $54,876 owed to the Company by the Dealer. Revenue recognized by the Company from the Dealer for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $1,995 and $86,329 or 1.7% and 55.6% of the Company’s total Revenue, respectively. In addition, the Company subleased warehouse space from the Dealer that was separate and distinct from the location of the dealership, on the same terms as paid by the Dealer. This subleased facility served as the northwestern regional distribution center for the Company. The lease was terminated on June 30, 2018. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, the Company paid $45,000 and $90,000, respectively, in rent under the sublease. This amount is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no sublease payments for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.
 
In connection with the NextGen acquisition, the Company entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Halcyon Consulting, LLC (“Halcyon”), to provide development and support services to the Company. Mr. Kakarala, a director of the Company, currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Halcyon. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company paid Halcyon hourly fees for specific services, set forth in the Services Agreement. The Company reimbursed Halcyon for any reasonable travel and pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its services to the Company. The Services Agreement was terminated on March 31, 2018. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company paid $54,159 under the Services Agreement. For the three and six-months periods ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid $266,600 and $471,966, respectively under the Services Agreement.
 
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $370,556, plus accrued interest of $7,766 due (1) to an entity controlled by a director of the Company and (2) to that director. The promissory notes were issued in connection with the completion of a private placement for the sale of an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $1.50 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,350,000 on March 31, 2017. These notes represent $370556 of the Private Placement Notes described in Note 5 Notes Payable Interest expense on the promissory notes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $35,496 and $67,610, respectively, which included debt discount amortization of $27,730 and $53,904, respectively. Interest expense on the promissory notes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $28,019, which included debt discount amortization of $22,014. The interest was charged to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in accrued interest under long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were not aware of any threatened or pending material litigation.
 
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On July 20, 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,328,750 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price of $6.05 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $12.9 million. The completed offering included 303,750 shares of Class B Common Stock issued upon the underwriter’s exercise in full of its over-allotment option. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of additional inventory held for sale, increased spending on marketing and advertising and capital expenditures necessary to grow the business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this quarterly report.
 
Overview
 
RumbleOn operates a capital light disruptive e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned vehicles in one online location. Our goal is to transform the way VIN-specific pre-owned vehicles are bought and sold by providing users with the most efficient, timely and transparent transaction experience. Our initial emphasis has been motorcycles and other powersports, however, our platform is able to accommodate any VIN-specific vehicle including motorcycles, ATVs, boats, RVs, cars and trucks.
 
Serving both consumers and dealers, through our online marketplace platform, we make cash offers for the purchase of pre-owned vehicles. In addition, we offer a large inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. Our operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with our regional partners including dealers and auctions. We utilize regional partners to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. These regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs.
 
Our business model is driven by a technology platform we acquired in February 2017, through our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NextGen Dealer Solutions, LLC (“NextGen”). The acquired system provides integrated vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive our online marketplace. Over the past 16 years, the developers of the software have designed and built high-quality application solutions for dealers and large multi-national clients.
 
Key Operation Metrics
 
As our business expands we will regularly review a number of metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress, and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics reflect what we believe will be the key drivers of our growth, including increasing brand awareness, maximizing the opportunity to source the purchase of low cost pre-owned vehicles from consumers and dealers while enhancing the selection of vehicles we make available to our customers. Our key operating metrics also demonstrate our ability to translate these drivers into sales and to monetize these retail sales through a variety of product offerings.

Vehicles Sold
 
We define vehicles sold as the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers and dealers in each period, net of returns under our three-day return policy. We view vehicles sold as a key measure of our growth for several reasons. First, vehicles sold is the primary driver of our revenue and, indirectly, gross profit, since vehicle sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including financing, vehicle service contracts and trade-ins. Second, growth in vehicles sold increases the base of available customers for referrals and repeat sales. Third, growth in vehicles sold is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our logistics, fulfillment, and customer service operations.
 
 
15
 
 
Vehicle Inventory Available on Website
 
We define vehicle inventory available on website as the number of pre-owned vehicles listed for sale on our website on the last day of a given reporting period. Until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level, we view pre-owned vehicle inventory available as a key measure of our growth. Growth in available pre-owned vehicle inventory increases the selection of pre-owned vehicles available to consumers and dealers on a nationwide basis, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of pre-owned vehicles we sell.
 
Average Days to Sale
 
We define average days to sale as the average number of days between vehicle acquisition by us and delivery to a customer for all pre-owned vehicles sold in a period. However, this metric does not include any pre-owned vehicles that remain unsold at period end. We view average days to sale as a useful metric due to its impact on pre-owned vehicle average selling price. We anticipate that average days to sale will fluctuate in future periods until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level and fully scale our acquisition and sales channel processes.
 
Gross Sales Profit
 
Gross sales profit is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the retail selling price of the vehicle minus our cost to acquire the vehicle. We define total average gross sales profit per vehicle as the aggregate gross sales profit in a given period divided by pre-owned vehicles sold in that period. Average gross sales margin is gross sales profit as a percentage of pre-owned vehicle sales. We believe gross sales profit is a key measure of our ability to utilize technology to determine the cost at which we can purchase vehicles relative to the price for which we can sell them and maintain our targeted margins. The cost of preparing a vehicle for sale, which includes inspection, reconditioning and transportation are excluded from this metric and are tracked independently. As our regional partner network is expanded and the volume of vehicles acquired grows we expect to see significant declines in these preparation costs per vehicle which in turn will provide more meaningful comparison data to other vehicle sellers.
 
Gross Profit
 
We generate gross profit on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the retail selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. We define total average gross profit per vehicle as the aggregate gross profit in a given period divided by pre-owned vehicles sold in that period. Average gross margin percent is gross profit as a percentage of pre-owned vehicle sales. Total average gross profit per vehicle is driven by sales of pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers which provides an opportunity to generate finance and vehicle service contract revenue from consumer sales. We believe average gross profit per vehicle is a key measure of our growth and long-term profitability.
 
COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Revenue
 
Revenue is derived primarily from the our online marketplace and includes: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; and (iv) subscription fees paid by dealers for access to the RumbleOn software solution.
 
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the our payment is probable.
 
Pre-owned Vehicle Sales
 
We sell pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels. These multiple sales channels provide us the opportunity to maximize profitability through increased sales volume and lower average days to sale by selling to the channel where the opportunity is the greatest at any given time based on customer demand, market conditions or inventory availability. The number of pre-owned vehicles sold to any given channel may vary from period to period based on customer demand, market conditions and available inventory.
 
 
16
 
 
Pre-owned vehicle sales represent the aggregate sales of pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers through our website or at auctions. We generate gross profit on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. We expect pre-owned vehicle sales to increase as we begin to utilize a combination of brand building as well as direct response channels to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets while expanding our suite of product offerings to consumers who may wish to trade-in or to sell us their vehicle independent of a retail sale. Factors affecting pre-owned vehicle sales include the number of retail pre-owned vehicles sold and the average selling price of these vehicles. At this stage of our development, changes in both retail pre-owned vehicles sold and average selling price will drive changes in revenue.
 
The number of pre-owned vehicles we sell depends on our volume of website traffic, our inventory levels and selection, the effectiveness of our branding and marketing efforts, the quality of our customer sales experience, our volume of referrals and repeat customers, the competitiveness of our pricing, competition and general economic conditions. On a quarterly basis, the number of pre-owned vehicles we sell is also affected by seasonality, with demand for pre-owned vehicles reaching the high point in the first half of each year, commensurate with the timing of tax refunds, and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of pre-owned vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter.
 
Our average retail selling price depends on the mix of pre-owned vehicles we acquire and hold in inventory, retail market prices in our markets, our average days to sale, and our pricing strategy. We may choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost pre-owned vehicles, or to opportunistically raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances, which could temporarily lead to average selling prices increasing or decreasing. Additionally, we have shifted away from our initial focus on solely acquiring and selling higher priced pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley-Davidson and lower priced pre-owned other makes of powersports vehicles which is a better representation of the overall powersport market. As a result of this change in mix, we expect our average selling price of pre-owned vehicles will decline from current levels, however we anticipate the decrease in average selling price to be offset, in part, by an increase in volume sales of other makes of powersports vehicles. We anticipate, however that our gross margin percentage will be the same or could improve.
 
The number of pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers at auctions is determined based on a number of factors including: (i) filling auction sales channel market demand opportunities to maximize sales and gross margin and (ii) a need to balance our overall inventory mix and quantity levels against days to sales targets.
 
Other Sales and Revenue
 
We generate other sales and revenue primarily through:
 
Vehicle Financing. Customers can pay for their pre-owned vehicle using cash or we offer a range of finance options through unrelated third-parties such as banks or credit unions. These third-party providers generally pay us a fee either in a flat amount or in an amount equal to the difference between the interest rates charged to customers over the predetermined interest rates set by the financial institution. We may be charged back for fees in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated.
 
Vehicle Service Contracts. At the time of pre-owned vehicle sale, we provide customers, on behalf of unrelated third parties who are the primary obligors, a range of other related products and services, including Extended Protection Plan (“EPPs”) products and vehicle appearance protection. EPP products include extended service plans (“ESPs”), which are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”), which is intended to cover the unpaid balance on a vehicle loan in the event of a total loss of the vehicle or unrecovered theft. Vehicle appearance protection includes products aimed at maintaining vehicle appearance. We receive commissions from the sale of these product and service contracts and have no contractual liability to customers for claims under these products. The EPPs and vehicle appearance protection currently offered to consumers provides coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. Commission revenue is recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is estimated based upon historical industry experience and recent trends. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive.
 
Retail Merchandise Sales. We sell branded and other merchandise and accessories at events.
 
Subscription Fees. We generate subscription fees from dealers under a license arrangement that provides access to our software solution and ongoing support.
 
 
17
 
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue is comprised of: (i) cost of pre-owned vehicle sales; (ii) cost of other sales and revenue products; and (iii) costs and expenses to support those dealers under subscription arrangements.
 
Cost of vehicle sales to consumers and dealers includes the cost to acquire pre-owned vehicles and the reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing these vehicles for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles we acquire, the source of those vehicles and supply and demand dynamics in the vehicle market. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and include parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to specific pre-owned vehicles. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition. Cost of pre-owned vehicle sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Cost of other sales and revenue products includes the costs of (i) extended service protection; (ii) vehicle appearance products; (iii) guaranteed asset protection; and (iv) costs and expenses associated with supporting our software solution for dealer under subscription arrangements.
 
Vehicle Gross Profit
 
Gross profit is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. The aggregate dollar gross profit achieved from the consumer and dealer sales channels are different. Pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers through our website generally have the highest dollar gross profit since the vehicle is sold directly to the consumer. Pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers through our website are sold at a price below the retail price offered to consumers, thus the dealer and RumbleOn are sharing the gross profit. Pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers through online auctions are sold at market. Factors affecting gross profit from period to period include the mix of pre-owned vehicles we acquire and hold in inventory, retail market prices, our average days to sale, and our pricing strategy. We may opportunistically choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost vehicles, or to opportunistically raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances in our sales channels, which could temporarily lead to average selling prices and gross profits increasing or decreasing in any given channel. Additionally, we have shifted away from our initial focus on solely acquiring and selling higher priced pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley-Davidson and lower priced pre-owned other makes of powersports vehicles that is a better representation of the overall powersport market. Because of this change in mix our average selling price of pre-owned vehicles will decline from current levels; however, we anticipate the decrease in average selling price to be offset, in part, by an increase in volume sales of other makes of powersports vehicles. We anticipate however that our gross margin percentage will be the same or could improve.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs and expenses for compensation and benefits, advertising and marketing, development and operating our product procurement and distribution system, managing our logistics system, establishing our regional partner arrangements, and other corporate overhead expenses, including expenses associated with technology development, legal, accounting, finance, and business development. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include outbound transportation cost and auction fees associated with selling vehicles but excludes the cost of inspection, reconditioning and inbound transportation which are included in Cost of revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase substantially in future periods as we execute and aggressively expand our business through increased marketing spending and the addition of management and support personnel to ensure we adequately develop and maintain operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization is comprised of the: (i) amortization of capitalized and acquired technology development and (ii) depreciation of vehicle, furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization will continue to increase as continued investments are made in connection with the expansion and growth of the business.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense includes interest incurred and the amortization of debt discount on notes payable and other long-term debt, which was used to fund startup costs and expenses, technology development, inventory, our transportation fleet, property and equipment and the acquisition of NextGen.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see Item 1 of Part I, Financial Statements, Note 1 “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies.” Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is derived primarily from our online marketplace and includes: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; and (iv) subscription fees paid by dealers for access to the RumbleOn software solution.
 
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of our payment is probable.
 
We sells pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers primarily through our website or regional partners, which primarily include auctions. Revenue from pre-owned vehicle sales is recognized when the vehicle is delivered, a sales contract is signed, and the purchase price has either been received or collectability has been established, net of a reserve for returns. Our return policy allows customers to return their purchases within three days from delivery. Our reserve for sales returns is estimated using historical experience and trends. The establishment of reserves for sales returns is dependent on a number of variables. In future periods additional provisions may be necessary due to a variety of factors, including changing customer return patterns due to the maturation of the online vehicle buying market, macro- and micro- economic factors that could influence customer return behavior and future pricing environments. If these factors result in adjustments to sales returns, they could significantly impact our future operating results.
 
Vehicle finance fee revenue is recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the financing has been arranged. We may be charged back for a fee in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the commissions that we receive. Cancellations will fluctuate depending on the customer financing default or prepayment rates and shifts in customer behavior. To the extent that actual experience differs from historical trends, there could be adjustments to our finance contract cancellation reserves.
 
Commission revenue on vehicle service contracts is recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is estimated based on historical experience and recent trends. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the commissions that we receive. Cancellations will fluctuate depending on the customer financing default or prepayment rates, and shifts in customer behavior, including those related to changes in the coverage or term of the product. To the extent that actual experience differs from historical trends, there could be adjustments to our contract cancellation reserves.
 
Subscription fees for access to the RumbleOn software solution are paid monthly and revenue recognition commences when the installation of the software is complete, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable.

Vehicle Inventory
 
Pre-owned vehicle inventory is accounted for pursuant to ASC 330, Inventory and consists of pre-owned vehicles primarily acquired from consumers and includes the cost to acquire and recondition a pre-owned vehicle. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and includes parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to a specific vehicle. Transportation costs are expensed as incurred. Pre-owned inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is based on the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn data of similar vehicles, as well as independent market resources. Each reporting period, we recognize any necessary adjustments to reflect pre-owned vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is recognized in Cost of revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Purchase Accounting for Business Combinations
 
On February 8, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of NextGen, which was accounted under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction costs, of approximately $4,750,000 to acquire NextGen was preliminarily allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Consistent with GAAP at the time the acquisition was consummated, we valued the purchase price to acquire NextGen based upon the fair value of the consideration paid which included 1,523,809 shares of Class B Common Stock issued at a negotiated fair value.
 
The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value and expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets and liabilities acquired can significantly impact net income (loss). For example, different classes of assets will have useful lives that differ. Consequently, to the extent a longer-lived asset is ascribed greater value under the purchase method than a shorter-lived asset there may be less amortization recorded in a given period.
 
Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired requires significant judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. As provided by the accounting rules, we used the one-year period following the consummation of the acquisition to finalize the estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. One of the areas that requires more judgment in determining fair values and useful lives is intangible assets. To assist in this process, we obtained an appraisal from an independent valuation firm for certain intangible assets. While there are a number of different methods used in estimating the value of the intangibles acquired, there are two approaches primarily used: discounted cash flow and market multiple approaches. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the two approaches include: projected future cash flows (including timing); discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows; perpetual growth rate; determination of appropriate market comparables; and the determination of whether a premium or a discount should be applied to comparables. Most of these assumptions were based on available historical information. As a result of this valuation, during the fourth quarter of 2017 we finalized the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded at the acquisition date and made a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation which included: (i) an increase to technology development of $1,500,000; (ii) a decrease in goodwill of $1,390,000; (iii) a decrease to customer contracts of $10,000; and (iv) a decrease to non-compete agreements of $100,000. The measurement period adjustment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 would have resulted in a net increase in previously recorded accumulated amortization and amortization expense of $63,750 and 102,500, respectively. This measurement period adjustment has been recorded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Consolidated Financial Statements as if the measurement period adjustment had been made on February 8, 2017, the date of the acquisition. The we made these measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and did not result from intervening events subsequent to such date. See Item 1 of Part I, Financial Statements, Note 2 “Acquisitions” for additional discussion.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each year. Goodwill will also be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. We have concluded that currently it has one reporting unit. Goodwill is being amortized for income tax purposes over a 15-year period. There was no impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2018.

We account for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Any warrants that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide us with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such warrants are indexed to our own stock is classified as equity. We classify as assets or liabilities any warrants that (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), (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception. We assess classification of its common stock warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. Our freestanding derivatives consisting of 218,250 warrants to purchase common stock that were issued to underwriters in connection with the October 23, 2017 public offering of Class B common stock satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments as these warrants do not contain cash settlement features or variable settlement provision that cause them to not be indexed to our own common stock. We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to value the derivative warrant as an equity instrument. The Black-Scholes pricing model, which is based, in part, upon unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop its own assumptions for: (i) risk-free interest rate; (ii) volatility of the market price of our common stock; and (iii) expected dividend yield. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, the warrant equity value and the change in estimated fair value could be materially different. Generally, as the market price of our common stock increases, the fair value of the warrant increases, and conversely, as the market price of our common stock decreases, the fair value of the warrant decreases. Also, a significant increase in the volatility of the market price of our common stock, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement; and a significant decrease in volatility would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
 
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. The amendments of this ASU update the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments, or embedded features, with down round features, as well as clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2017-11 during 2018.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We are required to make estimates and assumptions related to our valuation and recording of stock-based compensation expense under current accounting standards. These standards require all share-based compensation to employees to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their respective grant date fair values over the requisite service periods and also requires an estimation of forfeitures when calculating compensation expense.
 
On June 30, 2017, our stockholders approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other equity awards may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The Plan allows us to grant a variety of stock-based and cash-based awards to Eligible Individuals. On June 25, 2018, our stockholders approved, an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of Class B Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan from twelve percent (12%) of all issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock from time to time to 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. We estimates the fair value of awards granted under the Plan on the date of grant. The fair value of an RSU is based on the average of the high and low market prices of our Class B Common Stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense utilizing the following vesting schedule for most participants (i) 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and (iii) 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. Accounting for stock incentive plans requires judgment, including estimating the expected term the award will be outstanding, volatility of the market price of our Class B Common Stock and the amount of the awards that are expected to be forfeited. We have estimated forfeitures based on historic employee behavior under similar stock-based compensation plans. The fair value of stock-based compensation is affected by the assumptions selected. A significant increase in the market price of our Class B common stock, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement on future issuances; and a significant decrease in would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement on future issuances. See Item 1 of Part I, Financial Statements, Note 1 “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies—Stock-Based Compensation.”

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers related to revenue recognition. This ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions and the effective date of ASU 2014-09, provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and the timing of when it is recognized. The entity will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We primarily sell products and recognize revenue at the point of sale or delivery to customers, at which point the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Our performance obligations are clearly identifiable, and the adoption of this standard did not require any changes to the assessment of such performance obligations or the timing of our revenue recognition as a result of the adoption of the new standard.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2017-4, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The standard must be applied prospectively. Upon adoption, the standard will impact how we assess goodwill for impairment.  We have adopted this guidance for periods after January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2016-02) related to the accounting for leases. This pronouncement requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet while also disclosing key information about those lease arrangements. Under the new guidance, lease classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease will affect the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The classification criteria to distinguish between finance and operating leases are generally consistent with the classification criteria to distinguish between capital and operating leases under existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We expect to adopt the new standard for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with practical expedients available for election as a package. We are still evaluating the impact of the new standard on our financial statements.

Results of Operations for the Three-Month and Six-Month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
 
Pre-owned Vehicle Sales
 
Three-Months Ended June 30, 2018 Versus 2017. Pre-owned vehicle sales increased by $13,736,176 to $13,818,116 for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $81,940 for the same period of 2017. The increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to 2,013 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 9 for the same period of 2017. The increase in vehicles sold was driven by the continued expansion of our business which was highlighted by significant growth in visits to the RumbleOn website, a surge in requests for cash offers by consumers and dealers, expanded levels of inventory available for sale, an enhanced digital and social media advertising campaign, increased awareness of the RumbleOn brand and customer referrals. We anticipate that pre-owned vehicle sales will continue to grow as we further increase selection and availability of our online pre-owned vehicle inventory and enhance our website with additional functionality while continuing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets of consumers and dealers through brand building, direct response marketing and event marketing. The average selling price of our pre-owned vehicles for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to $7,113 from $9,104 for the same period of 2017, primarily due to a shift in inventory mix as we continued to transition from its initial focus on solely acquiring and selling higher priced Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley-Davidson and lower priced other makes of powersports vehicles which is a better representation of the overall powersport market. For the three-months ended June 30, 2018, 53.7% of the pre-owned vehicle sold to consumers and dealers were Harley-Davidson which were sold at an average total selling price of $9,314 as compared to an average total selling price of $4,565 for non-Harley Davidson sales. The average selling price of pre-owned vehicles sold will also fluctuate from period to period based on changes in the sales mix to consumers and dealers in any given period. During the three-months ended June 30, 2018, 89.6% of the preowned vehicles sold were to dealers at an average total selling price of $6,980 as compared to an average total selling price of $8,781 to consumers. During the three-months ended June 30, 2017, all the preowned vehicles sold were Harley-Davidson and were to dealers at an average total selling price of $9,104.

The increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to 2,891 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 9 for the same period of 2017. The increase in vehicles sold was driven by the continued expansion of our business which was highlighted by significant growth in visits to the RumbleOn website, a surge in requests for cash offers by consumers and dealers, expanded levels of inventory available for sale, an enhanced digital and social media advertising campaign, increased awareness of the RumbleOn brand and customer referrals. We anticipate that pre-owned vehicle sales will continue to grow as we further increase selection and availability of our online pre-owned vehicle inventory and enhance our website with additional functionality while continuing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets of consumers and dealers through brand building, direct response marketing and event marketing. The average selling price of our pre-owned vehicles for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to $7,575 from $9,104 for the same period of 2017, primarily due to a shift in inventory mix as we continued to transition from our initial focus on solely acquiring and selling higher priced Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley-Davidson and lower priced other makes of powersports vehicles which is a better representation of the overall powersport market. For the six-months ended June 30, 2018, 58.5% of the pre-owned vehicle sold to consumers and dealers were Harley-Davidson which were sold at an average total selling price of $9,848 as compared to an average total selling price of $4,805 for non-Harley Davidson sales. The average selling price of pre-owned vehicles sold will also fluctuate from period to period based on changes in the sales mix to consumers and dealers in any given period.

Other sales and revenue increased by $61,836 to $96,418 for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $34,582 for the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in: (i) retail units sold which led to an increase in loans originated and sold, as well as an increase in service contracts sales; and (ii) sales to a wholesaler of pre-owned vehicles acquired that did not meet our quality standards to list and sell through its website. These increases were offset by a decline in subscription fees received from dealers as we have discontinued the licensing of its software to new dealers.
 
Six-Months Ended June 30, 2018 Versus 2017.  Other sales and revenue increased by $75,471 to $148,942 for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $73,471 for the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in: (i) retail units sold which led to an increase in loans originated and sold, as well as an increase in service contracts sales; and (ii) sales to a wholesaler of pre-owned vehicles acquired that do not meet our quality standards to list and sell through its website.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 increased by $3,836,542 and $7,061,827, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase is a result of the continued expansion of our business which resulted in: (i) an increase in expenses associated with advertising and marketing; (ii) increase headcount associated with the development and operating our product procurement, distribution and logistics systems, human resources, marketing and business development; (iii) continued investment in technology development; (iv) increases in transportation costs and auction fees associated with selling vehicles; and (v) an increase in other corporate overhead costs and expenses, including accounting and finance.
 
Compensation and related costs for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 increased by $729,265 and $2,007,811, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase was driven by the rapid expansion of our business which resulted in increased headcount to support this growth. The increases in compensation and related cost, primarily consist of: (i) executive management compensation of $341,111 and $992,391, respectively; (ii) administration of $97,739 and $197,474, respectively; (iii) marketing and advertising of $89,071 and $232,507, respectively; and (iv) product acquisition and distribution of $99,691 and $249,907, respectively. As our business grows we will continue to add headcount in all areas of the Company which will result in an increase in compensation and related expenses in absolute dollar terms but significantly decline as a percentage of total revenue.
 
Advertising and marketing for the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 2018, increased by $1,986,931 and $3,083,099, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017. This increase is a result of a significant increase in our marketing spend among our digital, social and search marketing campaigns. We are continuing to successfully develop our omnichannel marketing strategy targeting both consumers and dealers, by combining brand building, lead generation, and content marketing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets. In addition to the digital channels, our paid advertising efforts also include display advertisements, retargeting, organic, direct mail, video marketing, automation and aggressive event marketing. We believe our demographic focus of nurturing the buyer personas of both consumers and dealers, ensures loyalty which will drive both high participation in the buy and selling process while increasing referrals. In addition to our paid channels, in future periods we intend to attract new customers through increased media spending and public relations efforts while continuing to invest in our proprietary technology platform. As we continue to source and scale our addressable market, advertising and marketing spending will continue to increase in absolute dollar terms but will decline on a cost per unit and as a percentage of total revenue.
 
Professional fees for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 increased by $50,410 as compared to the same period in 2017. This increase was primarily a result of significant legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses incurred during the period ended June 30, 2018 in connection with the activities associated with the rapid growth and expansion of the business. Fees and expenses were incurred for: (i) financing activities; (ii) general corporate matters; (iii) the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements; and (iv) the preparation and filing of regulatory reports required of the Company for public reporting purposes. Professional fees for the six-months ended March 31, 2018 decreased by $85,984 as compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily a result of the significant legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses incurred in the period ending June 30, 2017 for the: (i) NextGen acquisition; (ii) 2016 Private Placement (as defined below); and (iii) second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement. For additional information, see Note 2 – “Acquisitions” and Note 5 - “Notes Payable” and Note 6 - “Stockholders’ Equity,” in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Technology development costs consist principally of (i) development activities including payroll and related expenses billed by a third-party contractor involved in application, content, production, maintenance, operation, and platform development for new and existing products and services, (ii) technology infrastructure expenses, and (iii) costs of Company employees devoted to the development and maintenance of software products. Technology development expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 increased $102,795 and $308,126, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase was a result of a significant increase in headcount and third-party contractors to meet an increase level of technology development projects. Included in these new technology development projects were modules or significant upgrades to existing platforms for: (i) Retail online auction; (ii) Native App in IOS and Android; (iii) new architecture on website design and functionality; (iv) RumbleOn Marketplace; (v) redesigned cash offer tool; and (vi) deal-jacket tracking tool. Total technology costs and expenses incurred for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 were $643,589 and $1,112,897, respectively, as compared to $272,000 and $477,366, respectively, for the same periods of 2017. The increase was a result of a significant increase in the number of technology development projects to meet the growing demands of the business. Total technology costs and expenses capitalized for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 were $432,100 and $618,069, respectively, as compared to $163,306 and $290,664, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, a third-party contractor billed $449,705 and $754,431, respectively, of the total technology development costs as compared to $257,000 and $457,366, respectively, for the same periods of 2017. The amortization of capitalized technology development costs for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 were $185,071 and $358,831, respectively, as compared to $81,698 and $129,945, respectively, for the same periods of 2017. We expect our technology development expenses to increase as we continue to upgrade and enhance our technology infrastructure, invest in our products, expand the functionality of our platform and provide new product offerings. We also expect technology development expenses to continue to be affected by variations in the amount of capitalized internally developed technology.

Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 increased $6,057,647 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to a $5,535,083 increase in our net loss, offset by a $715,467 increase in non-cash expense items and a $1,238,031 increase in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in the net loss for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 was a result of the continued expansion and progress made on the development of our business, resulting in a significant growth in headcount at our operations center and increases in technology development and marketing spending in connection with efficiently sourcing and scaling our addressable markets, acquisition of vehicle inventory, continue development of the Company’s business and for working capital purposes.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $856,977 as compared to the same period in 2017 and was primarily a result of the $750,000 of cash used for the purchase of NextGen during the six-month period ending June 30, 2017.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 increased $2,114,967 as compared to the same period in 2017. This increase is primarily a result of the: (i) net proceeds of $4,608,546 from the Hercules Note; and (ii) net advances under the Credit Facility of $2,568,053. The proceeds from the Loan Agreement and Credit Facility were used for technology development, acquisition of inventory, continue development of the our business and for working capital purposes.
 
On February 16, 2018, the Company, through RMBL MO, entered into an Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Ally Bank, a Utah chartered state bank (“Ally Bank”) and Ally Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with Ally Bank "Ally"), pursuant to which Ally may provide up to $25 million in financing, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of RMBL MO from time to time, as part of its floorplan vehicle financing program. Advances under the Credit Facility require RMBL MO to maintain 10.0% of the advanced amount as restricted cash. Advances under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate designated from time to time by Ally and will be determined using a 365/360 simple interest method of calculation, unless expressly prohibited by law. Advances under the Credit Facility, if not demanded earlier, are due and payable for each vehicle financed under the Credit Facility as and when such vehicle is sold, leased, consigned, gifted, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disposed of. Interest under the Credit Facility is due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 60 days from the date of request for payment. Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Credit Facility), Ally may, at its option and without notice to RMBL MO, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Ally and its affiliates by RMBL MO and its affiliates. The Credit Facility is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of RMBL MO and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of Ally and secured by the Company pursuant to a General Security Agreement.
 
On April 30, 2018 (the :”Closing Date”), the Company, and it wholly owned subsidiaries, (collectively the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Hercules Capital, Inc. a Maryland Corporation ("Hercules") pursuant to which Hercules may provide one or more term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15 million (the "Loan"). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, $5.0 million was funded at closing with the balance available in two additional tranches over the term of the Loan Agreement, subject to certain operating targets and otherwise as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan has an initial 36-month maturity and initial 10.5% interest rate.
 
Under the Loan Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company issued Hercules a warrant to purchase 81,818 (increasing to 109,091 if a fourth tranche in the principal amount of up to 5.0 million is advanced at the parties agreement) shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Warrant’) at an exercise price of $5.50 per share (the “Warrant Price”). The Warrant is immediately exercisable and expires on April 30, 2023.
 
Advances under the Loan ("Advances") will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of either (i) the prime rate plus 5.75%, and (ii) 10.25%, based on a year consisting of 360 days. Advances under the Loan Agreement are due and payable on May 1, 2021, unless Borrowers achieve certain performance milestones, in which case Advances will be due and payable on November 1, 2021.

Upon any event of default, Hercules may, at its option, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Hercules by Borrowers.
 
The Loan is secured by a grant of a security interest in substantially all assets (the “Collateral”) of the Borrowers, except the Collateral does not include (a) certain outstanding equity of Borrowers' foreign subsidiaries, if any, or (b) nonassignable licenses or contracts of Borrowers, if any.
 
On February 8, 2017, in connection with the NextGen acquisition, the Company issued the NextGen Note. Interest accrues and will be paid semi-annually (i) at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and (ii) at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the Maturity which is February 8, 2020. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the NextGen Note shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holder. The Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note are secured by substantially all the assets of NextGen Pro, pursuant to an Unconditional Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), by and among NextGen and NextGen Pro, and a related Security Agreement between the parties, each dated as of February 8, 2017. Under the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, NextGen Pro has agreed to guarantee the performance of all the Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note.
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company completed funding of the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement (as defined below). The investors were issued 1,161,920 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company and promissory notes (the “Private Placement Notes”) in the amount of $667,000, in consideration of cancellation of loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount committed by the purchasers of $1,350,000. Under the terms of the Private Placement Notes, interest accrues and will be paid semi-annually at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the maturity which is March 31, 2020. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Private Placement Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. Based on the relative fair values attributed to the Class B Common Stock and promissory notes issued in the 2016 Private Placement, the Company recorded a debt discount on the promissory notes of $667,000 with the corresponding amounts as additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Private Placement Notes in March 2020 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at June 30, 2018 was 26.0%.
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001, at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,480,000 in the private placement (the “2017 Private Placement”). Officers and directors of the Company acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. In May 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement.

In connection with the 2016 Private Placement, the Company also entered into loan agreements, pursuant to which the purchasers would loan to the Company their pro rata share of up to $1,350,000 in the aggregate upon the request of the Company at any time on or after January 31, 2017 and before November 1, 2020. On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement. See Item 1 of Part I, Financial Statements—Note 5—"Notes Payable" for additional discussion.
 
Investment in Growth
 
At June 30, 2018, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $5,784,617. Since inception, our operations have been financed primarily by net proceeds from the sales of shares of our Class B common stock and proceeds from the issuance of indebtedness. We have incurred cumulative losses of $17,369,500 from our operations through June 30, 2018 and expect to incur additional losses in the future. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, our cash requirements for the next twelve months are significant as we have begun to aggressively invest in the growth of our business and we expect this investment to continue. We plan to invest heavily in inventory, marketing, technology and infrastructure to support the growth of the business. These investments are expected to increase our negative cash flow from operations and operating losses at least in the near term, and our limited operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that are early in their development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include an evolving business model, advancement of technology and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, continue our development of relevant applications, stay abreast of changes in the marketplace, as well as implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
29
 
 
On July 20, 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,328,750 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price of $6.05 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $12.9 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of additional inventory held for sale, increased spending on marketing and advertising and capital expenditures necessary to grow the business.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Emerging Growth Company
 
We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing not to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2018. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
