Our Business
Alliance MMA began its operations as a sports media company operating a regional mixed martial arts (“MMA”) promotion business under the Alliance MMA name as well as under the trade names of the regional promoters we acquired. The fighters who participated in our MMA promotions were provided the opportunity to develop and showcase their talents for advancement to the next level of professional MMA competition. On May 25, 2018, the Company commenced cessation of all the professional MMA promotion operations and supporting functions and began the plan of disposition. This action included the termination of all promotion and support employees. As of June 30, 2018, all the MMA promotions were either disposed or ceased operations.

Our Promotions
The following is a discussion of our former promotion business, all of which had been disposed of as of May 25, 2018, as previously described.
In 2018, our regional promotions held a number of events, some of which were televised on cable and network stations and/or streamed live via the internet. In providing fighters the opportunity to demonstrate their talents and move toward more lucrative fights, we also stressed the importance of maintaining strong personal values such as integrity, respect and discipline, as we believe that these attributes to be as important to a fighter’s success as his or her physical talents and skills. Our promotions generated revenue through ticket and concession sales at live MMA events. In addition, we distributed our original content on television, cable networks, pay-per-view broadcasts and streaming over the internet. We also received sponsorship fees for live and tape-delayed MMA events.
Our promotions were as follows:
CFFC Promotions (“CFFC”) – based in Atlantic City, New Jersey, CFFC promoted professional MMA events primarily in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Hoosier Fight Club (“Hoosier Fight Club” or “HFC”) – based in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area, HFC promoted professional MMA events in Indiana.
COmbat GAmes MMA (“COGA”) – based in Kirkland, Washington, COGA promoted professional MMA events primarily in Washington State.

V3 Fights (“V3”) – based in Memphis, Tennessee, V3 promoted professional MMA events primarily at event centers in Memphis, Tennessee, elsewhere in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.
Iron Tiger Fight Series (“IT Fight Series” or “ITFS”) – based in Bellefontaine, Ohio, IT Fight Series promoted professional MMA events in various locations throughout Ohio.
Fight Time Promotions (“Fight Time”) – based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Fight Time promoted professional MMA events throughout the South Florida Market.

Sports Management
On January 4, 2017, Alliance MMA acquired the stock of Roundtable Creative, Inc., a Virginia corporation d/b/a SuckerPunch Entertainment, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,686,347, of which $357,500 was paid in cash and $1,146,927 was paid with the issuance of 307,487 shares of Alliance MMA common stock valued at $3.73 per share, the fair value of Alliance MMA common stock on January 4, 2017 and $181,920 was paid with the issuance of a warrant to acquire 93,583 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On September 13, 2018, management and the board of directors extended the exit/disposal plan to the sports management business unit because it did not believe it could generate positive cash flows. On September 26, 2018 the Company entered an agreement to sell SuckerPunch Entertainment to the former owners. The effective date of the transaction was July 1, 2018. SuckerPunch – based in Northern Virginia, managed over approximately 150 professional MMA fighters. Since 2007, SuckerPunch has managed several UFC titleholders including Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Jens Pulver, Carla Esparza and, most recently, Max Holloway.
Ticketing Platform
CageTix – founded in 2009, CageTix focusses its ticket sales service on the MMA industry. CageTix presently services many of the industry’s top U.S. mixed martial arts events.
As of the filing date of this 10-K Annual Report, the Company continues to operate its ticketing business, but is focused primarily on its newly acquired SCWorx business.
6 |
Our Business Objectives and Strategies
The Company’s current focus is on integrating and optimizing the acquisition of SCWorx Corp., which was completed February 1, 2019. The Company also continues to operate its ticketing business.
The CageTix Ticketing Platform
The majority of paid tickets for regional MMA events are sold by fighters appearing on the event fight card. The CageTix platform provides significant benefits to third party MMA promotions, including the security of credit/debit card sales processing; immediate revenue recognition; real time sales reporting; and sales audit and compliance tracking for tax and regulatory authorities.
SCWorx Corp.’s Corporate History
On December 31, 2017, SCWorx, LLC acquired its wholly owned subsidiary, Primrose Solutions, LLC, (“Primrose”), a Delaware limited liability company focused on developing functionality within SCWorx Corp.’s software. The majority of shareholders of Primrose were shareholders of SCWorx Corp. and based upon SAB Topic 5G, the technology acquired has been accounted for at predecessor cost of $nil. In June 2018, SCWorx, LLC merged with and into SCWorx Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, as a result of which it became a Delaware corporation. Prior to entering into the Share Exchange Agreement, SCWorx Acquisition Corp. changed its name to SCWorx Corp. and then changed its name to SCW FL Corp. to allow the Company to change its name to SCWorx Corp. at the closing of the acquisition.
Overview of SCWorx Acquisition and related Financing Transactions
SCWorx Corp. Acquisition
On August 20, 2018, Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “Share Exchange Agreement” or “SEA”) with SCWorx Corp., a software as a service (“SaaS”) company servicing the healthcare industry, under which the Company agreed to purchase from the SCWorx Corp. shareholders all the issued and outstanding capital stock of SCWorx Corp., in exchange for which the Company agreed to issue at the closing:
(i) | 190,000 Series A Preferred Stock Units, comprised of 190,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock ($10.00 face value per share, convertible into common stock at a post-split adjusted price per share of $3.80 (subject to adjustment), and warrants to purchase 250,000 post-split adjusted shares of common stock at a post-split adjusted exercise price of $5.70 per share), in satisfaction of approximately $1.9 million of SCWorx indebtedness; and |
(ii) | approximately 5,263,158 post-split adjusted shares of the Company’s common stock (each of which had a value of approximately $4.40 per share, based on the last sale price of the Company’s common stock on February 1, 2019 (the Closing Date). |
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SEA was subject to satisfaction of a variety of conditions, including approval by the Company and SCWorx Corp.’s shareholders and the newly combined company meeting the listing qualifications for initial inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
SCWorx Corp. Financing Transaction
On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended December 18, 2018 (the “SPA”) with SCWorx Corp. (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.) a big data software as a service company servicing the healthcare industry (f/k/a SCWorx Acquisition Corp.) (“SCWorx”), under which it agreed to sell up to $1,250,000 in principal amount of convertible notes and warrants to purchase up to 59,387 post-split adjusted shares of Company common stock. $750,000 in principal amount was under the SPA convertible into shares of common stock at a post-split conversion price of $7.08 (reduced to $4.09 per share by amendment dated January 25, 2019) and the warrants are exercisable for shares of Company common stock at a post-split exercise price of $7.08 per share. The remaining $500,000 in principal amount is under the SPA convertible into shares of common stock at a post-split conversion price of $3.80 and the warrants are exercisable for shares of Company common stock at a post-split exercise price of $5.70 per share.

As of December 31, 2018, pursuant to the SPA, SCWorx had purchased convertible notes of the Company in the aggregate amount of $1,035,000, convertible into 180,970 post-split shares, and warrants to purchase an aggregate 45,243 post-split shares of common stock. These notes bear interest at 10% per annum, mature one year from the date of issue and are subject to automatic conversion upon consummation of the Company’s acquisition of SCWorx. Since December 31, 2018, SCWorx purchased the remaining $215,000 in convertible notes bringing the aggregate amount purchased to $1,250,000. This note was amended in January 2019 to reduce the conversion price to $0.215 [$4.09] per share.
Series A Preferred Stock Financing
The Company has sold an aggregate of $6,150,000 in Series A Preferred Stock Units comprised in the aggregate of 615,000 shares of Preferred Stock (face value $10 per share), convertible into common stock at a rate of $3.80 per share (on a post-split adjusted basis) (subject to adjustment), and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 809,211 post-split adjusted shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $5.70 per share (subject to adjustment) (the “Preferred Stock Units”).The sale of the Series A Preferred Stock Units was deemed a below market issuance (on an as converted basis) of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares.

In connection with the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock Units, the Company (i) received $5.5 million in cash proceeds and (ii) satisfied approximately $676,000 of indebtedness, for an aggregate of $6,150,000.
The cash amount raised from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock Units was required to be kept in a reserve account pending the closing of the Company’s acquisition of SCWorx, which occurred February 1, 2019. These funds are now available to fund the business of the combined company.
On February 1, 2019, the Company consummated the acquisition of SCWorx as contemplated by the SEA and effected a one-for-nineteen reverse stock split of its common stock and changed its name to SCWorx Corp. References to SCWorx herein refer to the company acquired by the Company. SCWorx is focused on streamlining the three core healthcare provider systems; Supply Chain, Financial and Clinical (“EMR”) enabling providers’ enterprise systems to work as one automated and seamless business management system.
Alliance’s common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “AMMA”. Upon the completion of the acquisition of SCWorx, the Company’s common stock began being listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “WORX” as of February 4, 2019.
Overview of the Company’s Business
As noted above, as of the filing date of this 10-K Annual Report, although the Company continues to operate its ticketing business, it is now focused on its newly acquired SCWorx business.
SCWorx is a provider of data content and services related to the repair, normalization and interoperability of information for healthcare providers, as well as big data analytics for the healthcare industry. SCWorx has developed and markets health care information technology solutions and associated services that improve healthcare processes and information flow within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. SCWorx’s software enables a healthcare provider to simplify and organize its data (“data normalization”), allows the data to be utilized across multiple internal software applications (“interoperability”) and provides the basis for sophisticated data analytics (“big data”). Customers use our software to achieve multiple operational benefits, such as supply chain cost reductions, decreased accounts receivables aging, accelerated and completed patient billing in less than 72 hours, contract optimization, increased supply chain management and total cost visibility via dynamic AI connections that automatically structures, repairs, synchronizes and maintains purchasing (“MMIS”), Clinical (“EMR”) and finance (“CDM”) systems. SCWorx’s customers include some of the most prestigious healthcare organizations in the United States. SCWorx offers an advanced software solution for the management of health care providers’ foundational business applications, empowering its customers to significantly reduce costs, drive better clinical outcomes and enhance their revenue. SCWorx supports the interrelationship between the three core healthcare provider systems: Supply Chain, Financial and Clinical. This solution integrates common keys within distinct and variable databases that allows the repaired foundational data to move seamlessly from one application to another enabling our Customers to drive supply chain cost reductions, optimize contracts, increase supply chain management (“SCM”), cost visibility, control rebates and contract administration fees.

Currently, the business systems of hospitals are frequently deficient and often unconnected from each other. These deficiencies in part result from the vast amount of unstructured, manually created and managed data that proliferates within the hospital’s supply chain, clinical and billing systems. SCWorx’s solutions are designed to quickly and accurately improve the flow of information between the buy-side (supply chain purchasing systems), the consumption-side (clinical documentation systems like the electronic medical records (“EMR”)) and billing and collection systems (patient billing systems). The currently poor state of interoperability limits the potential value of each independent system and requires significant expense and huge human resource commitments from senior personnel to stay ahead of problems and complete basic administrative tasks. SCWorx provides an information service that ultimately leads to safer, more cost effective and financially efficient patient care.
SCWorx has demonstrated that in order for the core hospital systems to function properly there must be a Single Source of Truth (“SSOT”) for all products utilized and ultimately billed for. The Item Master File (“IMF”), which is a database of all known products used in hospital and health care settings, must be accurate at all times and expanded upon to hold both clinical and financial attributes. An accurate and expanded Item Master File supports interoperability between the supply chain, clinical and financial systems by delivering, on demand, reports detailing the purchasing, utilization and revenue associated with each and every item used, allowing hospitals to better manage their business. The Single Source of Truth establishes a common vernacular and syntax, while assigning a consistent meaning across the healthcare providers core systems and accurately migrating data from one application to another and removing disconnects between critical business systems.
SCWorx’s software solutions are delivered to clients within a fixed term period, where such software is hosted in SCWorx’s data center and accessed by the client through a secure connection in a software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery method.
SCWorx sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its distribution and reseller partnerships.
SCWorx’s Software Solutions/Services
SCWorx empowers healthcare providers to maintain comprehensive access and visibility to an advanced business intelligence that enables better decision-making and reductions in product costs and utilization, ultimately leading to accelerated and accurate patient billing. SCWorx’s software modules perform separate functions as follows.
• | Virtualized Item Master File repair, expansion and automation — The process begins with data normalization — data is put into a simplified and normalized structure and location for use throughout the enterprise. The SCWorx software normalizes, automates and builds interoperability via advanced attribution, vendor and contract mapping, product categorization, repairing the unit of measure and establishing revenue codes and flags. SCWorx improves the healthcare providers’ business processes through the establishment of a clean and normalized Item Master File that improves efficiencies, eliminates cumbersome and error-prone manual processes, provides an integrated cloud-based suite of services that enhances the productivity of operating room staff, supply chain margins and billing revenue through the seamless sharing and accuracy of critical business data. |
9 |
• | Electronic Medical Record Management — The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) module integrates the advanced data attributes created by SCWorx in the Item Master to the EMR. The EMR serves as the database that hospitals use to document all clinical procedures in terms of the products used and the costs that should be charged. What makes this module special is that prior to its creation there was no mechanism that tied product purchases to actual utilization. Hospitals, being mass consumption businesses, had no way to identify excess ordering that always accompanies mass consumption organizations. In addition, the automation and consistency of delivered attributes dramatically reduces the administrative burden as today these additional attributes are being created by expensive clinical resources manually — over and over again by each hospital. The SCWorx EMR management system creates one vernacular for each hospital so they see the data in a manner that suits them — and then creates a universal vernacular so they can see their performance against other like institutions. |
• | Charge Description Master Management — The Charge Description Master (CDM) Management module assists healthcare providers by integrating the CDM data into the workflow of the hospitals purchasing systems so that the latest costs can be automatically updated against the hospitals charging systems. The CDM data provided SCWorx is made more accurate and the resulting data is integrated to the Item Master for real-time delivery to the EMR — this data is the last remaining piece of information that is consumed by the EMR and passed ultimately to the patient billing systems. SCWorx provides real-time integration, automation and management of Item Master File, Clinical Information Systems and the Charge Description Master. |
• | Contract Management — SCWorx’s Contract Management Module assists healthcare providers to establish an efficient contract management system and to provide first class care to patients, while reducing operating costs, assuring adherence to compliance requirements, and mitigating risk. By linking the Item Master File to the healthcare providers contract management system and procedures, SCWorx simplifies the way contracts are managed from start to finish by streamlining the processes of creating, routing, reviewing and approving contracts. SCWorx delivers a data warehouse platform which integrates item master management, spend analysis, and contract management. These solutions enable financial staff across the healthcare provider to drill down quickly and deeply into actionable and real-time financial data and key performance indicators to improve revenue realization and staff efficiency. This suite of solutions includes the ability to automatically push price changes to a contract, compliance for standard and non-standard products, contract compliance and optimization reporting, reliable cost data for current and alternate products, cost performance metrics, matching purchase order price to contract and contract repository. |
• | Request For Proposal (“RFP”) Automation — With the reality of shrinking operating margins, increasing operating expenses and decreasing insurance reimbursements, hospitals must evaluate all major expenditures. In addition, requirements for provable quality of service supported by trackable metrics now frequently necessitate the search for better options available in the marketplace. Since hospital-based provider subsidies are often a major expense item and since there are often perceived opportunities for quality improvement, it is a reasonable practice for hospital leadership to carefully evaluate all of their current hospital-based services and associated financial support before each contract renegotiation. The proliferation of large regional and national providers, with their ability to derive benefits from economies of scale, have made RFPs much more of a competitive process. Hospital administrators, however, often rely on poor or conflicting data when creating an RFP. Through the integration and utilization of the SSOT SCWorx automates the RFP process and makes it more accurate. SCWorx automates the core sourcing processes with the intention to accelerate cycle times, surveys and confirms business preferred processes, designs and builds a flow chart for the current and desired workflows, cross references bid analysis, implements bid scoring, customizes software to support automation and customizes the report writer and output documents. |
• | Integration of Acquired Businesses — The agnostic design of the SCWorx solution enables rapid deployment of a virtual Item Master File to quickly and easily allow combining healthcare providers to share information and achieve cost synergies and interoperability without large and cumbersome upgrades or implementations. During the consolidation of healthcare providers, SCWorx cleans the data and makes the data available to the disparate systems. In addition, M&A activity requires in-depth reporting for comparison of Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) contract overlap. When healthcare providers that use different GPOs merge, or are acquired, there is a lack of information to compare contracts. SCWorx provides information for comparative purposes to solve these issues rapidly. |
• | Rebate Management — Frequently, vendors use rebates and incentives as a key part of their pricing strategy and structure when selling to hospitals. This tactic makes pricing more attractive to healthcare providers. When tracked through Accounts Payable, and issued correctly, rebates can help healthcare organization save money. At any large healthcare provider, vendor rebates can be difficult to manage since they require a multi-step process to track dollars earned, credits issued, and monies paid. Rebates frequently cause tracking challenges for Accounts Payable departments. Inconsistent tracking is the primary problem for loss of savings with vendor rebate programs. SCWorx’s Rebate Management Module enables healthcare providers to correctly calculate and track rebates provided by healthcare provider vendors. Purchasing or Contracting departments monitor rebates by creating and maintaining a Rebates Master List which is provided to the Accounts Payable department. To assist in this cumbersome process, SCWorx provides information from the SSOT, such as historical data, frequent updates, advanced administrative fee reporting, purchase rebate tracking, early payment/discount management and Vendor Master Data alignment. |
10 |
• | Big Data Analytics Model — SCWorx provides an in-depth, easy-to-use web portal for display, reporting and analysis of the information contained within the SCWorx data warehouse. SCWorx’s analytics solution enables healthcare providers to view benchmarking information, quickly add new items to the SSOT and identify cost savings through this real-time and on-demand solution. In addition to simplifying the item add process, SCWorx provides peer comparison reporting against similar healthcare providers and a list of informative reports for business measurement, such as spend trend analysis, contract gap analysis, market price comparison, etc. The SCWorx product line is a simplified user experience and visual display for the hospital employee which does not require access to the SCWorx application. |
• | Data Integration and Warehousing — Healthcare providers maintain a significant amount of data. In many cases the data is not useful for analytics since the data is held within an individual “silo.” SCWorx establishes an expandable, data warehouse of items that have been normalized, repaired and enriched as the SSOT for useful benchmarking, interoperability and analytics. SCWorx’s data warehouse allows healthcare providers to effectively use the data contained in their environment and efficiently establish the supply chain as a leading driver of revenue cycle management. The data warehouse is updated as frequently as every five minutes without intervention. |
Clients and Strategic Partners
SCWorx continues to provide transformational data-driven solutions to some of the finest, most well-respected healthcare providers in the United States. Clients are geographically dispersed throughout the country and the continued focus is to assist healthcare providers with issues they have pertaining to data interoperability. SCWorx provides these solutions through a combination of direct sales and relationships with strategic partners.
Our major clients include the following hospitals and health care providers: CAPTIS, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Mercy Health, Providence Health & Services, University of Chicago Medical Center, and the University of Vermont Medical Center, among others.
Competition
SCWorx competes against a variety of vendors and smaller companies which provide solutions in the specific markets we address. Our principal competitors include:
• | purchasing departments that have limited budgets and may be attempting to manually repair the item master file; |
• | large companies with a long list of products and services and small companies which may provide item master normalization and data cleanse services; and |
• | software companies or service providers, as well as small, specialized vendors, that provide complementary or competitive solutions in benchmarking or data analytics and data warehousing that may compete with our offerings. |
Some of our actual and perceived competitors have advantages over us, such as longer operating histories, greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources, stronger brand and business user recognition, larger intellectual property portfolios, broader distribution and presence, and competitive pricing. In addition, our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive.
Barriers to entry to this market include technological and application sophistication, the ability to offer a proven product, creating and utilizing a well-established client base and distribution channels, brand recognition, the ability to provide agnostic interoperability and to operate on a variety of MMIS, EMR and financial platforms, the ability to integrate with pre-existing systems and capital for sustained development and marketing activities.
SCWorx believes that these obstacles taken together represent a moderate to high-level barrier to entry. The principal competitive factors in our markets are product features, functionality and support, product depth and breadth (number of items in the central data warehouse), flexibility, ease of deployment and use, total cost of ownership and time to value. We believe that we generally compete favorably on the basis of these factors. For example, besides our agnostic interoperability, additional key strengths include the SCWorx data warehouse, which exceeds 12 million items, SCWorx Big Data analytics and benchmarking.
Contracts, License and Service Fees
SCWorx enters into agreements with its clients that specify the scope of the solution to be installed and/or services to be provided by SCWorx, as well as the agreed-upon aggregate price, applicable duration and the timetable for the associated licenses and services.
11 |
For clients purchasing software to be installed locally or provided on a SaaS model, these are multi-element arrangements that include a term license granting the right to access the applicable software functionality (whether installed locally at the client site or the right to use the Company’s solutions as a part of SaaS services), terms regarding maintenance and support services, terms for any third-party components such as infrastructure and software, and professional services for implementation, integration, process engineering, optimization and training, as well as fees and payment terms for each of the foregoing. If the client purchases solutions on a long-term license model, the client may be billed the license fee up front or on a monthly or quarterly basis. Maintenance and support are provided on a term basis for separate fees, with an initial term of typically three to five years. The license, maintenance and support fee is charged annually in advance, commencing either upon contract execution or deployment of the solution in live production. If the client purchases solutions on a term-based model, the client is billed periodically a combined access fee for a specified term, typically three to five years in length.
SCWorx also generally provides software and SaaS clients professional services for implementation, integration, process engineering, and optimization and training. These services and the associated fees are separate from the license, maintenance and access fees. Professional services are provided on either a fixed-fee or hourly arrangements billable to clients based on agreed-to payment milestones (fixed fee) or monthly payment structure on hours incurred (hourly). These services can either be included at the time the related SaaS solution is licensed as part of the initial purchase agreement or added on afterward as an addendum to the existing agreement for services required after the initial implementation.
For one-time data normalization services clients, these normalization services are provided either through a stand-alone services agreement or services addendum to an existing master agreement with the client. These normalization services are available as either a one-time service or recurring monthly, quarterly or annual review structure. These services are typically provided on a per item basis. Payment typically occurs upon completion of the applicable normalization project. The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and complexity of the system and/or services involved, the implementation or performance schedule requested by the client and usage by clients of SaaS for software-based components. SCWorx’s agreements are generally non-cancelable but provide that the client may terminate its agreement upon a material breach by SCWorx and/or or may delay certain aspects of the installation or associated payments in such events. SCWorx does allow for termination for convenience in certain situations. SCWorx also includes trial or evaluation periods for certain clients, especially for new or modified solutions. Therefore, it is difficult for SCWorx to accurately predict the revenue it expects to achieve in any particular period, and a termination or installation delay of one or more phases of an agreement, or the failure of SCWorx to procure additional agreements, could have a material adverse effect on SCWorx’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Historically, SCWorx has not experienced a material amount of contract cancellations; however, SCWorx sometimes experiences delays during contract implementation and SCWorx accounts for them accordingly.
Third Party License Fees
SCWorx incorporates software licensed from various third-party vendors into its proprietary software. Stand-alone third-party software is also required to operate certain of SCWorx’s proprietary software and/or SaaS services. SCWorx licenses these software products and pays the required license fees when such software is delivered to clients.
CageTix Ticketing Platform
Currently, the majority of paid tickets for regional MMA events is sold by the fighters appearing on the event fight card. Referred to as “fighter consigned” tickets, sales are generally made in face-to-face cash transactions. Our CageTix event ticketing platform allows regional promoters to control the ticketing sales chain. The CageTix platform can provide significant benefits to regional promotions, including the security of credit/debit card sales processing, immediate revenue recognition, and real time sales reporting.
Property
The Company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York, consisting of shared office space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015, which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business services.
In conjunction with the acquisition of SCWorx Corp on February 1, 2019, the Company assumed a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut. The lease expires in March 2020.
Government Regulation
The Company believes that governmental regulation is not material to its ticketing business or SCWorx’s business operations. Our MMA events were regulated at the state level by the athletic commission in each state where our promotions are conducted. The commissions are concerned primarily with the introduction and enforcement of safety rules and oversee MMA in much the same way as they do for boxing events.

Intellectual Property
We protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We control access to our proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality agreements, invention assignment agreements and work for hire agreements with our employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with third parties. We further control the use of our proprietary technology and intellectual property through provisions in our websites’ terms of use.
Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in the United States or other countries in which we seek protection of our marks or our copyrighted works. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights may harm our business or our ability to compete.
Seasonality
We don’t believe that SCWorx’s revenues are impacted by seasonality.
Our MMA business has historically experienced a negative seasonal impact on revenues during the months of June, July and August when attendance is lower at scheduled events than during the balance of the year. As a result, we generally scheduled fewer events during this period, which resulted in less revenue during these periods compared to other periods during the year.
Employees
As of December 31, 2018, we had 2 employees. As of the closing of the acquisition on February 1, 2019, the Company had 4 employees, of whom 2 are in management and finance and 2 are in operations. We mainly utilize independent contractors for maintenance of our database and customer software installation.
Facilities
The Company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York, consisting of shared office space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015, which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business services.
In November 2016, the Company entered a sublease agreement for office and video production space in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The lease expires on June 30, 2019. In June 2018, the Company abandoned the Cherry Hill space and in January 2019 negotiated a settlement to exit the sublease.
With the acquisition of Fight Club OC, the Company assumed a lease for office space in Orange County, California. The lease expired in September 2018 and was included in the sale of Fight Club OC.
Legal Proceedings
In conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
In April and May 2017, two purported securities class action complaints-Shapiro v. Alliance MMA, Inc., No. 1:17-cv-2583 (D.N.J.), and Shulman v. Alliance MMA, Inc., No. 1:17-cv-3282 (S.D.N.Y.)-were filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, respectively. The complaints alleged that the defendants violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws and purported to seek damages in an amount to be alleged on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering. In July 2017, the plaintiffs in the New York action voluntarily dismissed their claim and, on March 8, 2018, the parties reached a settlement to the New Jersey action in which the insurance carrier for our directors and officers liability insurance policy has agreed to cover Alliance’s financial obligations under the settlement arrangement, less a deductible of $250,000.
In October 2017, a shareholder derivative claim based on the same facts that were alleged in the class action complaints was filed against the directors of the Company in the District Court for the District New Jersey; however, a complaint was not served on the defendants and, on February 2, 2018 the claim was dismissed by the District Court.
In June 2018, the landlord of our Cherry Hill, New Jersey office filed suit against the Company for non-payment of rent. Currently the Company is in negotiations to settle the remaining payments due under the lease. The Company recorded $167,000 of expense related to the lease within discontinued operations - general and administrative for the cost of the remaining payments under the lease agreement. This amount is accrued for at December 31, 2018 within the current liabilities - discontinued operations balance. In January 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with respect to this litigation, and paid the landlord $75,000 and issued warrants to purchase 20,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.42 per share.
In June 2018, the Company’s former President, Robert Haydak, filed suit against the Company. The Company and Mr. Haydak resolved the suit effective July 2018 with the Company agreeing on a cash settlement of $50,000, and delivery of certain MMA promotion fixed assets. The Company has accrued the settlement as of December 31, 2018 which is included within net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, and current liabilities - discontinued operations balance. In February 2019, the Company paid Mr. Haydak the $50,000 called for by the settlement agreement and obtained a release of all claims thereunder.
On December 19, 2018, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Robert L. Mazzeo, who resigned on May 25, 2018, served a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Sothern District of NY. Mazzeo alleges that he (i) was fraudulently induced to become the CEO of the Company and (ii) entered into an employment contract with the Company and that the Company breached said alleged contract. Mazzeo seeks damages in “excess of $500,000.” The Company believes that the lawsuit is frivolous and violative of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on February 5, 2019, and, in addition to mounting a vigorous defense, the company has filed a counterclaim against Mazzeo alleging breach of fiduciary duty.

Certain factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If any of the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
We may not be able to maintain sufficient capital to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, our revenue was approximately $150,000 and we had a net loss of approximately $14.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our revenues were approximately $221,000, and we had a net loss of approximately $12.0 million. At December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $31.3 million. At December 31, 2018, our ability to continue as a going concern was dependent upon completing the acquisition of SCWorx.
As a result of the recently consummated convertible note and Preferred Stock financings, as of December 19, 2018, the Company had approximately $5.4 million of restricted cash, which under the operative documents was required to be held in reserve pending the closing of the Acquisition. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, SCWorx was required to provide additional advances of $215,000 under the SPA, as amended. These advances were made in January of 2019.
With the completion of the SCWorx acquisition and related financings, the Company currently has approximately $3.0 million in cash on hand. Although the Company has historically generated operating losses and negative operating cash flows, with the completion of the SCWorx acquisition, the Company expects that the combined company will generate operating profits and positive operating cash flows.
The Company believes that these positive operating cash flows, coupled with the cash on hand, are such that, as of the date of this report, the Company has sufficient cash to support the business for at least the one-year period following the date of this report.
A failure by us to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to produce accurate and complete financial reports and to help prevent financial fraud. In addition, such control is required in order to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. While we have undertaken remedial steps to improve our financial reporting process, including the implementation of a firm-wide accounting information system that collects, stores and processes financial and accounting data on a consolidated basis for use in meeting our reporting obligations, there are no assurances that our internal control over financial reporting has been effective at any time since then. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not have effective controls over financial reporting. Our management has identified material weakness in our internal controls related to deficiency in the design of internal controls and segregation of duties.
If we are unable to maintain adequate internal controls or fail to correct material weaknesses in such controls noted by our management or our independent registered public accounting firm, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, we could again fail to meet our obligations to report our operating results accurately and completely and our continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market could be jeopardized.
Complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies will increase our costs and the demands on management and could harm our operating results.
As a public company and particularly after we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees or as executive officers.
If we do not manage our growth effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.
Our expansion strategy includes the possible acquisitions of other SaaS companies. We may not be able to identify, secure and manage future acquisitions successfully. The acquisition of SCWorx and any future businesses may require a greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources as we seek to institute uniform standards and controls across acquired businesses. Acquisitions may also result in the diversion of management and resources, increases in administrative costs, including those relating to the assimilation of new employees, and costs associated with any financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we undertake, including those we have already made, will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our management, sales, and marketing resources, and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate our growth, and we may not have the resources to do so in the time frames required. The failure to manage our growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
14 |
We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring additional companies and such acquisitions may subject us to additional unknown risks.
We may make future acquisitions of SaaS companies in markets that we do not serve now. We may not be able to reach agreements with such companies on favorable terms or at all. In completing acquisitions, we rely upon the representations and warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot assure you that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their businesses. To the extent that we are required to pay for undisclosed obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected economic benefit from such acquisition and our ability to seek legal recourse from the seller may be limited.
The value of our goodwill and other intangible assets declined in 2018.
As of December 31, 2018, there was no goodwill or other intangible assets. In 2018, we recorded intangible assets impairment charges of approximately $231,000. The impairment was identified as part of management’s review of impairment indicators during the second quarter. Accordingly, it was determined the recoverable value of the promotion segment was less than the carrying value and therefore, an impairment loss was recorded. We had recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisitions we have made. We expect to record goodwill for future acquisitions. Our other net intangible assets had included venue relationships, ticketing software, trademarks and brands, fighter contracts, promoter relationships and sponsor relationships, at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, and we amortized such assets using a method reflecting the period(s) in which the economic benefit of the asset is utilized, which we estimated to be three to ten years.
We evaluate goodwill at least annually, and will do so more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Many of the assumptions and estimates that we make in order to estimate the fair value of our intangible assets directly impact the results of impairment testing, including an estimate of future expected revenues, earnings and cash flows, and the discount rates applied to expected cash flows. We are able to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates we choose for testing. To avoid undue influence, we have set criteria that are followed in making assumptions and estimates. The determination of whether goodwill or acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of our reporting unit. Changes in our strategy or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets.
Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.
Future acquisitions are likely to result in issuances of equity securities, which will be dilutive to the equity interests of existing stockholders, and may involve the incurrence of debt, which will require us to maintain cash flows sufficient to make payments of principal and interest, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the acquisition of SCWorx resulted in a change of control of the Company involving the issuance of approximately 5.3 million post-split adjusted shares of common stock and 190,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into 500,000 post-split adjusted shares of common stock (subject to adjustment), and the issuance of warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 post-split adjusted shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.70 per share.
We may become involved in litigation which could harm the value of our business.
Because of the nature of our business and the exit from lines of business, there is a risk of litigation. Any litigation could cause us to incur substantial expenses whether or not we prevail, which would add to our costs and affect the capital available for our operations. For example, we were recently sued by our former CEO.
15 |
Economic uncertainty impacts our business and financial results and a renewed recession could materially affect us in the future.
Periods of economic slowdown or recession could lead to a reduction in demand for our software and services, which in turn could reduce our revenues and results of operations and adversely affect our financial position. Our business will be dependent upon business discretionary spending and therefore is affected by business confidence as well as the future performance of the United States and global economies. As a result, our results of operations are susceptible to economic slowdowns and recessions.
We depend on the services of key executives, and the loss of these executives could materially harm our business and our strategic direction if we were unable to replace them with executives of equal experience and capabilities.
Our future success significantly depends on the continued service and performance of our key management personnel, especially our new CEO and SCWorx founder, Marc Schessel. We cannot prevent members of senior management from terminating their employment with us even if we have an employment agreement with them. Losing the services of members of senior management could materially harm our business until a suitable replacement is found, and such replacement may not have equal experience and capabilities. We have not purchased life insurance covering any members of our senior management.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented, and we may not be able to compete effectively, especially against competitors with greater financial resources or marketplace presence.
We face competition from other SaaS companies. Many of the companies with which we will compete have greater financial and technical resources than are available to us. Our failure to compete effectively could result in a significant loss of customers, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Our limited operating history makes forecasting our revenues and expenses difficult.
Revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast accurately because of our limited operating history as a combined business, which commenced in February of 2019, and because SCWorx’s results generally depend on our ability to secure term service/license agreements, which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending appropriately to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which may result in substantial losses and a lower market price for our common stock.
16 |
We may need additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business, and we cannot be certain that this capital will be available on reasonable terms when required, or at all.
In order for us to grow and execute our business plan successfully, we may require additional financing which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If such financing is available, it may be dilutive to the equity interests of existing stockholders. Failure to obtain financing will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation or growth of our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be harmed.
If we fail to meet the continued listing standards and corporate governance requirements for Nasdaq Capital Market companies, we may be subject to de-listing.
Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain this listing, we are required to comply with various continued listing standards, including corporate governance requirements, set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. These standards and requirements include, but are not limited to, maintaining a minimum bid price for our common stock, as well as having a majority of our Board members qualify as independent. If we fail to meet any one of these requirements for an extended period of time, we will be subject to possible de-listing.
Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock and our ability to grow our business.
There has been limited trading in our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will either develop or be maintained. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market periodically in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or that our share price will appreciate over time.
17 |
Our stock price may be volatile .
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
· | our ability to obtain working capital financing; | |
· | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
· | sales of our common stock; | |
· | our ability to execute our business plan; | |
· | operating results that fall below expectations; | |
· | regulatory developments; and | |
· | economic and other external factors. |
In addition, the securities markets from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The periodic availability of shares for sale upon the expiration of any statutory holding period or lockup agreements, could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang”, in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We are required under the Series A Preferred Stock documents to register under the Securities Act of 1933 the shares of common stock underlying the preferred stock and related warrants. Once this registration statement goes effective, a substantial number of additional shares of common stock will likely become freely tradable which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
We may be unable to establish, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights adequately.
Our success will depend in part on our ability to establish, protect and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Our inability to protect our tradenames, service marks and other intellectual property rights from infringement, piracy, counterfeiting or other unauthorized use could negatively affect our business. If we fail to establish, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may lose an important advantage in the market in which we compete. Our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to help us maintain our position in the market and our competitive advantages. Monitoring unauthorized uses of and enforcing our intellectual property rights can be difficult and costly. Legal intellectual property actions are inherently uncertain and may not be successful, and may require a substantial amount of resources and management attention.
18 |
Changes in laws, regulations and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We are subject to the laws, regulations and other requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Changes to these laws could have a material adverse impact on the revenue, profit or the operation of our business.
Disruptions in our information technology systems or security breaches of confidential customer information or personal employee information could have an adverse impact on our operations.
Our operations are dependent upon the integrity, security and consistent operation of various information technology systems and data centers that process transactions, communication systems and various other software applications used throughout our operations. Disruptions in these systems could have an adverse impact on our operations. We could encounter difficulties in developing new systems or maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Such difficulties could lead to significant expenses or to losses due to disruption in our business operations.
In addition, our information technology systems are subject to the risk of infiltration or data theft. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage information technology systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect or prevent over long periods of time. Moreover, the hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the security of our information systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through fraud or deception aimed at our employees, contractors or temporary staff. In the event that the security of our information systems is compromised, confidential information could be misappropriated and system disruptions could occur. Any such misappropriation or disruption could cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to a loss of sales or profits or cause us to incur significant costs to reimburse third parties for damages.
Our current insurance policies may not provide adequate levels of coverage against all claims and we may incur losses that are not covered by our insurance.
We believe we maintain insurance coverage that is customary for businesses of our size and type; however, we may be unable to insure against certain types of losses or claims, or the cost of such insurance may be prohibitive. For example, although we carry insurance for breaches of our computer network security, there can be no assurance that such insurance will cover all potential losses or claims or that the dollar limits of such insurance will be sufficient to provide full coverage against all losses or claims. Uninsured losses or claims, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations.
We may be required to pay for the defense of our clients, officers, or directors in accordance with certain indemnification provisions.
The Company provides indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of the Company’s services. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for guarantees, the Company evaluates estimated losses for such indemnification. The Company considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no such claims have been filed against the Company and, as a result, no liability has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements.
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable the Company to recover a portion of any such payments.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
The Company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York, consisting of shared office space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015, which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business services.
In November 2016, the Company entered a sublease agreement for office and video production space in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The lease expires on June 30, 2019. In June 2018, the Company abandoned the Cherry Hill space and in January 2019 negotiated a settlement to exit the sublease. The expected settlement costs were accrued as of December 31, 2018, and included in current liabilities - discontinued operations.
With the acquisition of Fight Club OC, the Company assumed a lease for office space in Orange County, California. The lease expired in September 2018 and was included in the sale of Fight Club OC.
We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs.
In conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
In April and May 2017, two purported securities class action complaints-Shapiro v. Alliance MMA, Inc., No. 1:17-cv-2583 (D.N.J.), and Shulman v. Alliance MMA, Inc., No. 1:17-cv-3282 (S.D.N.Y.)-were filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, respectively. The complaints alleged that the defendants violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws and purported to seek damages in an amount to be alleged on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering. In July 2017, the plaintiffs in the New York action voluntarily dismissed their claim and, on March 8, 2018, the parties reached a settlement to the New Jersey action in which the insurance carrier for our directors and officers liability insurance policy has agreed to cover Alliance’s financial obligations under the settlement arrangement, less a deductible of $250,000. The complaint was dismissed in October 2018.
In October 2017, a shareholder derivative claim based on the same facts that were alleged in the class action complaints was filed against the directors of the Company in the District Court for the District New Jersey; however, a complaint was not served on the defendants and, on February 2, 2018 the claim was dismissed by the District Court.
In June 2018, the landlord of our Cherry Hill, New Jersey office filed suit against the Company for non-payment of rent. The Company has been in negotiations to settle the remaining payments due under the lease. The Company recorded $167,000 of expense related to the lease within net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the cost of the remaining payments under the lease agreement. This amount is accrued for at December 31, 2018 within the current liabilities - discontinued operations balance. The Company settled this litigation in January 2019 by paying $75,000 in cash and issuing warrants to purchase 20,250 common shares at an exercise price of $3.42 per share.
In June 2018, the Company’s former President, Robert Haydak, filed suit against the Company. The Company and Mr. Haydak resolved the suit effective July 2018 with the Company agreeing on a cash settlement of $50,000, and delivery of certain MMA promotion fixed assets. The Company has accrued the settlement as of December 31, 2018 which is included within net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, and current liabilities - discontinued operations balance. In February 2019, the company paid Mr. Haydak $50,000 and obtained a further release of all claims under the settlement agreement effective July 2018.
On December 19, 2018, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Robert L. Mazzeo, who resigned on May 25, 2018, served a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of NY. Mazzeo alleges that he (i) was fraudulently induced to become the CEO of the Company and (ii) entered into an employment contract with the Company and that the Company breached said alleged contract. Mazzeo seeks damages in “excess of $500,000.” The Company believes that the lawsuit is frivolous and violative of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on February 5, 2019, and, in addition to mounting a vigorous defense, the Company filed a counterclaim against Mazzeo alleging breach of fiduciary duty.

The Company is a smaller reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this Item.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to our historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs which involves risk, uncertainty and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Overview
As described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2018, the Company had disposed of all its MMA promotion businesses and the sports management businesses and has been focused on the operations of CageTix and the closing the SCWorx acquisition and related financing transactions. The acquisition of SCWorx was completed on February 1, 2019. Consequently, the historical discussion contained in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is focused on the business of the Company prior to the acquisition of SCWorx, while the forward looking discussions are focused primarily on the business of SCWorx, which is the primary operating business of the Company going forward.
Our Business
Our operations are currently centered on the business of SCWorx, our recently acquired SaaS business. The Company is also maintaining its MMA ticketing platform, CageTix, which generates revenue from ticket services to third party event promoters.
22 |
Results of Operations – Alliance MMA

• | COGA |
• | Shogun |
• | V3 |
• | ITFS |
• | Fight Time |
• | NFC |

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $150,000, compared to approximately $221,000 for the same period in 2017. The decrease in revenue was primarily related to our limited working capital to support the businesses.
Our future revenues will be derived principally from our new SaaS business, the acquisition of which was consummated on February 1, 2019. As a result, we expect our revenues to grow substantially in 2019 compared to 2018.
23 |
Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $139,000 to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $2.1 million in the same period of 2017. Salary and wages decreased $73,000 from the reduction in personnel associated with businesses that were disposed of in 2018. Insurance increased by $216,000 due to an increase in D&O insurance. Travel decreased by $213,000 due to the cessation of our promotion and athlete management businesses. Other expenses increased by $188,000 due to interest expense. Stock-based compensation increased by $222,000 related to vesting of equity awards. Interest expense increased to $259,000 due primarily to interest on the SCWorx Convertible Notes and non-cash interest amortization related to the discount associated with derivative liabilities.
Impairment charges decreased approximately $231,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a $0 for the same period of 2017, as we impaired remaining intangible assets for a charge of $231,000.
There was no income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, including but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries, and creating new taxes on foreign sourced earnings.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company completed the accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act under ASC 740. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an adjustment for the reduction of the Company’s U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. No adjustments related to the federal tax rate reduction were made to the deferred tax liability balance subsequent to December 31, 2017.
Our future expenses will be related principally to our new SaaS business, the acquisition of which was consummated on February 1, 2019. As a result, we expect our expenses to grow substantially in 2019, compared to 2018, as we ramp up our newly acquired SaaS business. In February 2019, the Company granted an aggregate of 425,000 restricted stock units, of which an aggregate 325,000 were granted to management and vest quarterly over the next three years, and 100,000 were issued to a consultant and vest quarterly over one year. The Company will recognize an aggregate $3.2 million of stock based compensation over 36 months from the grant date, $1.5 million of which will be recognized during the first 12 months, with the remaining $1.7 million to be recognized over the next 24 months. The Company also granted an additional 525,000 RSUs which are subject to performance vesting, of which an aggregate of 225,000 were issued to our management and 300,000 were issued to a consultant. The Company will recognize stock based compensation in an amount equal to the product of the number of RSUs vesting and the grant date fair value of $6.47 per share, if and when once it becomes likely that the performance metrics are to be met. See Note 12 - Subsequent Events in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following discussion of AMMA’s Liquidity and Capital Resources with regard to historical sources and uses of cash is not indicative of the future sources and uses of cash by the combined Company after giving effect to the acquisition of SCWorx.
Our operations have generated negative cash flows since inception, Consequently, our primary source of cash has been from the issuance of common stock in conjunction with our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) completed in October 2016, sales of our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock issued in private placements in July, August and October 2017 and in a public offering in January 2018, advances in April and May of 2018 under promissory notes with two of our former board members and a shareholder, and the $1,035,000 of convertible notes financings provided by SCWorx through December 31, 2018.
The Company has signed a number of new customer agreements resulting in approximately $1.9 million of additional revenue anticipated to be recognized in 2019.
SCWorx Convertible Note Financing
On December 18, 2018, the Securities Purchase Agreement with SCWorx dated June 28, 2018 was amended (as amended, the “SPA”) to increase the amount SCWorx could purchase by $250,000 to up to $1.25 million, of which $750,000 had previously been funded, leaving an additional $500,000 to be funded. The conversion/exercise price of the additional $500,000 convertible note is $3.80 per share on a post-split adjusted basis.
As of December 31, 2018, pursuant to the SPA, SCWorx had purchased convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $1,035,000, convertible into 180,970 post-split shares (258,598 shares after giving effect to the January 25, 2019 reduction in conversion price to $4.09 per share), and warrants to purchase an aggregate 45,243 shares of common stock. These notes bear interest at 10% per annum, mature one year from the date of issue and are subject to automatic conversion upon consummation of the Company’s acquisition of SCWorx. Since December 31, 2018, SCWorx purchased the remaining $215,000 in convertible notes bringing the aggregate amount purchased to $1,250,000, reflected in the SPA.
Series A Preferred Stock Unit Financing
On December 18, 2018, the Company closed $5.5 million in aggregate proceeds from the sale of (i) units comprised of 550,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 723,684 post-split shares of common stock (the “Preferred Stock Units”). The face value of the Preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.80 per share on a post-split adjusted basis (subject to adjustment) and the warrant exercise price is $5.70 per share. In addition, on February 1, 2019, we issued Preferred Stock Units, comprised of approximately 67,500 shares of convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 88,816 shares of common stock to certain of our creditors in satisfaction of approximately $676,000 of indebtedness.
The amount of cash raised from sale of Preferred Stock Units was required to be kept in a reserve account pending the closing of the Acquisition. On February 1, 2019, the closing of the SCWorx acquisition, these funds were released and available to fund the business of the newly combined company.
As a result of the recent convertible notes and Preferred Stock financing, as of the date of this Report, we have approximately $3.0 million in cash on hand.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, our principal uses of cash consisted of paying for operating expenses and outstanding payables.
As disclosed above, in conjunction with the common stock offering completed in January 2018, the Company issued warrants with a provision requiring the Company to pay the warrant holder the Black-Scholes value of the warrant upon a fundamental transaction. On August 20, 2018, the Company entered into the SEA with SCWorx which upon closing qualified as a fundamental transaction within meaning of the warrant agreement. For illustration purposes only, given the stock price at announcement of approximately $4.40, the Black - Scholes value was approximately $2.68 per share based upon today’s volatility and risk-free interest rate. As of the date hereof, there were approximately 56,000 (post-split) warrants outstanding which are subject to this Black - Scholes payout provision.

The operations of the Company through December 31, 2018 have resulted in losses. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the Company began a cost reduction plan resulting in the termination of employment of a number of executives and other personnel, renegotiating or terminating contracts and similar cost cutting activities. Given the acquisition of SCWorx, management believes that the Company has increased liquidity and will begin to generate positive operating cash flows during 2019 with the completion of the SCWorx acquisition.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, mainly related to the net loss of $12.0 million, discontinued operations loss of $5.6 million, non-cash stock-based compensation of $517,000 related to various equity awards to employees and non-employees, and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $670,000.
Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations was $671,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, mainly related to payments in discontinued operations liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly related to the net loss of $14.6 million, discontinued operations loss of $10.8 million, increase in prepaid expenses of $200,000, non-cash impairment charge of $231,037 related to acquired intangible assets, non-cash amortization of $41,000 related to acquired intangible assets, non-cash stock-based compensation of $739,000 related to various equity awards to employees and non-employees, non-cash payment on legal invoices of $136,500 and an increase in accounts payable of $246,000.
Given the acquisition of SCWorx, management believes that the Company will begin to generate net income and positive operating cash flows during 2019.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, related to the acquisitions of Sucker Punch, Fight Time, NFC, Fight Club OC, Victory Fighting Championship and Sheffield video library assets totaling $835,000 in the aggregate and capital assets of $165,000.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
We expect cash used in investing activities to increase during 2019, compared to 2018, as a result of the acquisition of SCWorx, and development of new SaaS based products.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily related to the sale of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock with proceeds of $2.0 million, and $300,000 from borrowings from notes payable.
Cash provided by financing activities was $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock totaling $2.3 million. In addition, we received proceeds from notes payable, less repayments, of $1.2 million. In addition, $5.5 million of restricted cash was received in relation to the Series A preferred stock sale in December 2018, that was released to the Company in February of 2019. The Company capitalized $100,000 of deal related expenses in connection with the Preferred stock offering.
Currently, we do not expect our financing activities to be a significant source of cash in 2019.

Contractual Cash Obligations
See Note 8— Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We evaluate our estimates based on our historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates relate to revenue recognition, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, range of possible outcomes of acquisition earn-out accruals, the assessment of useful lives and the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, recognition and measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, and others. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and material effects on our consolidated operating results and consolidated financial position may result. See Note 3–Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, for a full description of our accounting policies.
27 |
Revenue Recognition
Ticket Service Revenue (Current Operations)
The Company acts as a ticket agent for third-party ticket sales and charges a fee per transaction for collecting the cash on ticket sales and remits the remaining net amount to the third-party promoter upon completion of the event or request from the promoter. The Company’s ticket service fee is recognized on a net basis, when it satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control of the purchased ticket to a customer.
Promotion Revenue (Discontinued Operations)
The Company recognized revenue, net of sales tax, when it satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue from admission, sponsorship, pay per view (“PPV”), apparel, and concession were recognized at a point in time when an event was exhibited to a customer live or PPV, and when a customer took possession of apparel or food and beverage offerings. Promotion revenue is a component of discontinued operations.
Fighter Commission Revenue (Discontinued Operations)
The Company recognized revenue when it satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company recognized commission revenue upon the completion of a contracted athlete’s performance.
Business Combinations
The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it has acquired in its consolidated results as of the respective dates of acquisition.
The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired businesses and Alliance as well as the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies as an identifiable intangible asset. The fair value of contingent consideration associated with acquisitions is remeasured each reporting period and adjusted accordingly. Acquisition and integration related costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. The Company reviews impairment of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company proceeds to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company first determines the fair value of a reporting unit using weighted results derived from an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is estimated through the discounted cash flow method based on assumptions about future conditions such as future revenue growth rates, new product and technology introductions, gross margins, operating expenses, discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and other assumptions. The market approach estimates the fair value of the Company’s equity by utilizing the market comparable method which is based on revenue multiples from comparable companies in similar lines of business. The Company then compares the derived fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
28 |
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $2.4 million within the Company’s discontinued operations in relation to the GFL and Fight Time reporting units. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company Recorded a goodwill impairment of $5.9 million as a component of the Company’s discontinued operations related to the remaining MMA promotions and Athlete management business. The Company had no goodwill at December 31, 2018.
Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
Identified finite-lived intangible assets consisted of acquired video library intellectual property, venue contracts/relationships, ticketing software, tradenames, fighter contracts, promoter relationships and sponsor relationships resulting from business combinations. The Company’s identified intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to ten years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value. For further discussion of goodwill and identified intangible assets, see Note 6–Goodwill and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an intangible assets impairment of approximately $231,000 related to its MMA ticketing service business, and approximately $182,546 related to the athlete management business recorded as a component of net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an intangible impairment of $893,000 related to the impairment of all video library assets acquired from GFL, the promotion businesses, and asset purchases, as well as the venue relationship and trade-name of the Fight Time Promotion. This expense is included as a component of net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.
Loss Contingencies
The Company records a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the developments in our contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that has been previously recorded, and the matters and related possible losses disclosed. The Company makes adjustments to our provisions and changes to our disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. The Company early adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings per share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). Under the provisions of the guidance, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the option or warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s stock awards for non-employees is estimated based on the fair market value on each vesting date, accounted for under the variable-accounting method.
The authoritative guidance on share-based payments also requires that the Company measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense upon modification of the term of the stock award. The stock-based compensation expense for such modification is the sum of any unamortized expense of the award before modification and the modification expense. The modification expense is the incremental amount of the fair value of the award before the modification and the fair value of the award after the modification, measured on the date of modification. In the case when the modification results in a longer requisite period than in the original award, the Company has elected to apply the pool method where the aggregate of the unamortized expense and the modification expense is amortized over the new requisite period on a straight-line basis. In addition, any forfeiture will be based on the original requisite period prior to the modification.

Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on the 2013 framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to deficiencies in the design of internal controls and lack of segregation of duties, our Disclosure Controls were not effective as of December 31, 2018, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal controls related to deficiencies in the design of internal controls and segregation of duties. Management is planning to meet with the Audit Committee to discuss remediation efforts, which are expected to be resolved during 2019, or until such time as management is able to conclude that its remediation efforts are designed and operating effectively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We may in the future identify other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in connection with our internal control over financial reporting. Material weaknesses and significant deficiencies that may be identified in the future will need to be addressed as part of our quarterly and annual evaluations of our internal controls over financial reporting under Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any future disclosures of a material weakness, or errors as a result of a material weakness, could result in a negative reaction in the financial markets and a decrease in the price of our common stock.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Notes Payable-Related Party
On April 10, 2018, the Company borrowed a total of $300,000 from two of its board members, Joseph Gamberale and Joel Tracy, pursuant to promissory notes of $150,000, respectively. The notes bear interest at 12% annually and matured May 21, 2018. Mr. Gamberale personally guaranteed Mr. Tracy’s note.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $12,000 for the note with Mr. Gamberale, and $14,000 for Mr. Tracy’s note.
On May 21, 2018 Mr. Gamberale agreed to extend the maturity to August 31, 2018. The repayment of this note was subordinate to a $200,000 promissory note of May 9, 2018. In July 2018, Mr. Gamberale agreed to convert his note to common shares (at a rate of $.3725 [$7.0775] per share) and warrants (25% warrant coverage with an exercise price of $.3725 [$7.0775] per share) (same terms as the SCWorx convertible notes). In October 2018, this arrangement was amended and Mr. Gamberale chose to participate in the preferred stock placement. As of the date of this report, the note has been converted into shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and related common stock purchase warrants, on the same terms as the preferred stock investors.
On May 21, 2018 Mr. Tracy agreed to extend the maturity to December 31, 2018. In November, Mr. Tracy chose to participate in the preferred stock sale. As of the date of this report, the note has been converted into shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and related common stock purchase warrants, on the same terms as the preferred stock investors .
Director Independence
The rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Nasdaq Rules, require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be composed of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent. Under the Nasdaq Rules, a director will qualify as an independent director only if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq Rules also require that audit committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. In considering the independence of compensation committee members, the Nasdaq Rules require that our Board of Directors must consider additional factors relevant to the duties of a compensation committee member, including the source of any compensation we pay to the director and any affiliations with the Company.
Our Board of Directors undertook a review of the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors other than Mr. Danner and Mr. Watson was independent based on the definition of independence in the Nasdaq listing standards. In conjunction with the SCWorx acquisition, the AMMA board, other than Mr. Miller, resigned. Our new Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors other than Marc Schessel, CEO, is independent based upon the definition of independence in the Nasdaq listing standard.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2018. Friedman has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since January 2016.
Principal Accountant Fees and Services
During 2018 and 2017, fees for services provided by Friedman were as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Audit Fees | $ | 365,951 | $ | 367,795 | ||||
Audit Related Fees | — | — | ||||||
Tax Fees | — | — | ||||||
All Other Fees | — | — | ||||||
Total | $ | 365,951 | $ | 367,795 |
41 |
Audit Fees include amounts related to the audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, and quarterly review of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Audit Related Fees include amounts related to accounting consultations and services.
Tax Fees include fees billed for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.
All Other Fees
There were no other fees billed by Friedman for services rendered to the Company, other than the services described above, in 2018 and 2017. The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of non-audit services by Friedman was compatible with maintaining their independence.
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year, and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. During 2018, services provided by Friedman were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of SCWorx Corp. (f/k/a Alliance MMA, Inc.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SCWorx Corp. (f/k/a Alliance MMA, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ Friedman LLP | |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016. | |

The Company has been focused on its CageTix business and completing the acquisition of SCWorx Corp., which was closed on February 1, 2019.
SCWorx Acquisition and Related Transactions
In June 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with SCWorx Acquisition Corp. (n/k/a SCWorx Corp.) (“SCWorx”), as amended December 18, 2018 (“SPA”), under which it agreed to sell up to $1.25 million in principal amount of convertible notes and warrants to purchase up to 1,128,356 [59,387] shares of common stock. The initial $750,000 tranche of the notes is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.3725 [$7.0775] and the related 503,356 [26,492] warrants have an exercise price of $0.3725 [$7.0775]. The conversion price on the $750,000 convertible note was reduced to $0.215 per share in January 2019. The remaining $500,000 tranche of the notes is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 [$3.80] and the related 625,000 [32,895] warrants have an exercise price of $0.30 [$5.70]. See Note 12–Subsequent Events. These notes automatically converted into Company common stock upon the closing of the SCWorx acquisition on February 1, 2019.
Pursuant to the SPA, between June 29, 2018 and October 16, 2018, the Company sold SCWorx convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and warrants to purchase 503,356 [26,492] shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000. Each of the notes bears interest at 10% annually and have a one year term. Each of the warrants has an exercise price of $0.3725 [$7.0775], a term of five years and were vested upon grant. These notes automatically converted into Company common stock upon the closing of the SCWorx acquisition on February 1, 2019.
On August 20, 2018, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with SCWorx, as amended December 18, 2018 (“SEA”). Under the SEA, the Company agreed to purchase from the SCWorx shareholders all the issued and outstanding capital stock of SCWorx, in exchange for which the Company agreed to issue at the closing (i) 100,000,000 shares of Company common stock to the SCWorx stockholders and (ii) 190,000 Series A Preferred Stock Units ($1.9 million face value) (“Series A Preferred Units”) to an SCWorx creditor in satisfaction of approximately $1.9 million of indebtedness. The Series A Preferred Units are comprised of 190,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 [$3.80] per share, subject to adjustment, and warrants to purchase 4,750,000 [250,000] shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.30 [$5.70] per share, subject to adjustment. Upon consummation of the transaction on February 1, 2019, SCWorx is wholly owned by the Company.

Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements
Pursuant to the SPA, between November 16, 2018 and December 31, 2018, the Company sold SCWorx additional convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $275,000 and warrants to purchase 356,250 [18,750] shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $275,000. Each of the Notes bears interest at 10% annually and matures one year form the issue date. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.30 [$5.70], a term of five years and were vested upon grant. This brings the total amount funded by SCWorx to $1,035,000 as of December 31, 2018. These notes automatically converted into Company common stock upon the closing of the SCWorx acquisition on February 1, 2019. See Note 12–Subsequent Events.
On December 18, 2018, the Company closed $5.5 million in aggregate proceeds from the sale of Series A Preferred Units comprised of 550,000 shares of Series A preferred stock (face value $10 per share) and warrants to purchase 13,750,000 [723,684] shares of common stock. The face value of the Series A preferred stock will, upon stockholder approval of the sale of the Series A Preferred Units, be convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 [$3.80] per share, subject to adjustment, and the warrants have an exercise price of $0.30 [$5.70] per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, the Company issued Series A Preferred Units, comprised of approximately 67,500 shares of Series A preferred stock ($675,000 aggregate face value) and warrants to purchase 1,687,500 [88,816] shares of common stock to Company creditors in satisfaction of approximately $675,000 of indebtedness.
The amount of cash raised from sale of Series A Preferred Stock Units was required to be kept in a reserve account pending the closing of the SCWorx Corp. acquisition. As a result, the Company has recognized restricted cash of $5,401,000 and preferred stock deposit of $5,501,000 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.
In anticipation of the acquisition of SCWorx Corp., the Company filed an original listing application with the Nasdaq Capital Market to list the common stock of the combined company. On or about January 31, 2019, the Nasdaq approved the listing of the Company’s common stock (on a combined basis with SCWorx), with the result being that the Company’s common stock is now newly listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On February 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of SCWorx, changed its name to SCWorx Corp., changed its ticker symbol to “WORX”, and effected a one-for-nineteen reverse stock split of its common stock [bracketed amounts represent post-split adjusted shares or per share amounts].

Note 2. Liquidity and Going Concern
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s primary need for liquidity is to fund the working capital needs of the business, and general corporate purposes. The Company has historically incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since the inception of operations in October 2016.
As a result of the recently consummated convertible notes and Series A Preferred Units financings, as of December 19, 2018, the Company had approximately $5.4 million in restricted cash on hand, which under the operative documents was required to be held in reserve pending the closing of the SCWorx acquisition. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, SCWorx was required to provide additional advances of $215,000 under the SPA, as amended. These advances were made in January of 2019.
With the completion of the SCWorx acquisition and related financings, the Company had approximately $5.4 million of restricted cash at a bank. Although the Company has historically generated operating losses and negative operating cash flows, with the completion of the SCWorx acquisition, the Company expects that the combined company will generate operating profits and positive operating cash flows.
The Company believes that these positive operating cash flows, funding from the completed issuances, satisfaction of substantially all outstanding liabilities, and coupled with cash on hand of $3.0 million, are such that, as of the date of this report, the Company has sufficient cash to support the business for at least the one year period following the release date of these consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alliance MMA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Go Fight Net, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In connection with acquisition of SCWorx, the Company effected a one-for-nineteen reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split became effective on February 1, 2019. The par value and authorized shares of common stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts in the notes to the consolidated financial statements show [bracketed amounts] which reflects this reverse stock split. As a result, all bracketed common stock share amounts have been reduced by a factor of nineteen, and all bracketed common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of nineteen, or as otherwise described in the tables.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates relate to revenue recognition, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, range of possible outcomes of acquisition earn-out accruals, the assessment of useful lives and the recoverability of property and equipment, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, loss contingencies, and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations on discontinued operations.
Cash
Cash is maintained with various financial institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. There were no amounts in excess of the FDIC insured limit for both the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Management defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Loss Contingencies
The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible, and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the developments in our contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that has been previously recorded, and the matters and related possible losses disclosed. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to our disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount.
Legal costs associated with loss contingencies are accrued based upon legal expenses incurred by the end of the reporting period.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company continually monitors customer payments and maintains a reserve for estimated losses resulting from its customers’ inability to make required payments. In determining the reserve, the Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based upon a variety of factors. In cases where the Company becomes aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on its historical write-off experience in conjunction with the length of time the receivables are past due, customer creditworthiness, geographic risk and the current business environment. Actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from the Company’s estimates. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no allowances.
Revenue Recognition
Ticketing Service Revenue (Current Operations)
The Company acts as a ticket agent for third-party ticket sales and charges a fee per transaction for collecting the cash on ticket sales and remits the remaining net amount to the third-party promoter upon completion of the event or request from the promoter. The Company’s ticket service fee is recognized, on a net basis, when it satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control of the purchased ticket to a customer.
Promotions Revenue (Discontinued Operations)
The Company recognized revenue, net of sales tax, when it satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue from admission, sponsorship, pay per view (“PPV”), apparel, and concession were recognized at a point in time when an event was exhibited to a customer live or PPV, and when a customer took possession of apparel or food and beverage offerings. Promotions revenue is a component of discontinued operations.

Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements
Sports Management and Video Production and Distribution Revenue (Discontinued Operations)
The Company recognized revenue when it satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company recognized commission revenue upon the completion of a contracted athlete’s performance.
Business Combinations
The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it has acquired in its consolidated results as of the respective dates of acquisition.
The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired businesses and the Company as well as the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies as an identifiable intangible asset. The fair value of contingent consideration associated with acquisitions is remeasured each reporting period and adjusted accordingly. Acquisition and integration related costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
We allocate goodwill to the reporting units of the business that are expected to benefit from the business combination.
For additional information regarding the Company's acquisitions, see Note 5 - Business Combinations.
Goodwill and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. The Company reviews impairment of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company proceeds to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company first determines the fair value of a reporting unit using weighted results derived from an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is estimated through the discounted cash flow method based on assumptions about future conditions such as future revenue growth rates, new product and technology introductions, gross margins, operating expenses, discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and other assumptions. The market approach estimates the fair value of the Company’s equity by utilizing the market comparable method which is based on revenue multiples from comparable companies in similar lines of business. The Company then compares the derived fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $2.4 million within the Company’s discontinued operations in relation to the GFL and Fight Time reporting units.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $5.9 million within the Company’s discontinued operations in relation to the cessation of the MMA promotion and athlete management businesses. At December 31, 2018, the Company had no goodwill.
Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
Identified finite-lived intangible assets consisted of acquired video library intellectual property, venue contracts/relationships, ticketing software, tradenames, fighter contracts, promoter relationships and sponsor relationships resulting from business combinations. The Company’s identified intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to ten years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value. For further discussion of goodwill and identified intangible assets, see Note 6–Goodwill and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an intangible assets impairment of approximately $231,000 related to its MMA ticketing service business, and approximately $182,546 related to the athlete management business recorded as a component of net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an intangible impairment of $893,000 related to the impairment of all video library assets acquired from GFL, the promotion businesses, and asset purchases, as well as the venue relationship and trade-name of the Fight Time Promotion. This expense is included as a component of net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Advertising Costs
There were no advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. Under the provisions of the guidance, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the option or warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s stock awards for non-employees is estimated based on the fair market value on each vesting date, accounted for under the variable-accounting method.
The authoritative guidance on share-based payments also requires that the Company measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense upon modification of the term of the stock award. The stock-based compensation expense for such modification is the sum of any unamortized expense of the award before modification and the modification expense. The modification expense is the incremental amount of the fair value of the award before the modification and the fair value of the award after the modification, measured on the date of modification. In the case when the modification results in a longer requisite period than in the original award, the Company has elected to apply the pool method where the aggregate of the unamortized expense and the modification expense is amortized over the new requisite period on a straight-line basis. In addition, any forfeiture will be based on the original requisite period prior to the modification.
Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility, and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted based on the life of the underlying award. The Company estimates the volatility of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant based on historical volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical experience of its stock-based awards that are granted, exercised and cancelled. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what was recorded in the current period. The expected levels of achievement are reassessed over the requisite service periods and, to the extent that the expected levels of achievement change, stock-based compensation is adjusted in the period of change and recorded on the statements of operations and the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation is recorded over the remaining requisite service period. See Note 9-Stockholders’ Equity for additional detail.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (ASU 2016-08) which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. The new standard further requires new disclosures about contracts with customers, including the significant judgments the company has made when applying the guidance. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and our internal controls over financial reporting.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019. Our operating leases, as disclosed in Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies, will be subject to the new standard. We will recognize right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets upon adoption, which will increase our total assets and liabilities.
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition approach for all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” This ASU requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01), which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, on a prospective basis and the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09) which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment awarded require an entity to apply modification accounting. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard prospectively and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatory Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest with a Scope Exception. Topic 815, Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as 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 amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments.
As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity-linked classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic earnings per share.

Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements
The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that are now presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. These amendments do not have an accounting effect.
The Company adopted the provisions of the update in its December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements and elected the retrospective transition method.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2018, the FASB updated the Income Taxes Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments were effective upon issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting,” which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The effective date for the standard is for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than the Company’s adoption date of Topic 606. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company will adopt this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect that the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into an SPA with SCWorx, under which the Company agreed to sell up to $1.0 million in principal amount of convertible notes and warrants to purchase up to 671,142 [35,323] shares of common stock. The notes were originally convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.3725 [$7.0775] and bore interest at 10% annually. The warrants were originally exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.3725 [$7.0775].

The Company has accounted for the amendment of its convertible promissory notes as a modification, not an extinguishment, under GAAP.
Warrants Liability
The Company has recorded a derivative warrant liability in relation to the contingent put option upon the occurrence of a “fundamental transaction”, as defined. The fair value of the derivative warrant liability (and related debt discount) at the date of issuance was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was deemed not to be materially different than the fair value as would have been determined using an open simulation model such as the Monte Carlo. The Black-Scholes model uses a combination of observable inputs (Level 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3) in calculating fair value.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
The Company does not own any real property. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York, comprised of approximately twenty thousand square feet of shared office space and services that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015, which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and currently is under a month-to-month arrangement. The lease allows for the limited use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business services.
In November 2016, the Company entered a sublease agreement for office and video production space in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The lease originally expired on June 30, 2019. In June 2018, the Company abandoned the facility and on June 21, 2018 the sub-landlord filed suit against the Company for non-payment of rent. In January 2019, the Company settled the suit and agreed to pay $75,000 and issue warrants having a Black-Scholes value of $50,000. The Company had previously accrued the amount due of $167,475 as a result of the settlement, the Company realized a gain on the settlement of $42,475, which is included in the discontinued operations results for the year ended December 31, 2018
With the acquisition of FCOC, the Company originally assumed a lease for office space in Orange County, California. The lease originally expired in September 2018. In conjunction with the discontinued operations the Company agreed to sell Fight Club OC to the former owner Roy Englebrecht which included the Orange County, California office lease.
Lease expense for the Cherry Hill, New Jersey and Orange County, CA facilities is included as a component of net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.
Each of the acquired businesses operated from home offices or shared office space arrangements.
Warrants
In conjunction with the stock offering completed in January 2018, the Company issued warrants with a provision requiring the Company to pay the warrant holder the Black - Scholes value of the warrant upon a fundamental transaction. On August 20, 2018, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with SCWorx. which upon the closing in February 2019, qualified as a fundamental transaction within the meaning of the warrant agreement. The stock price at the time of announcement was approximately $0.20 [$3.80], the Black - Scholes value would approximate $2.68 per share based upon volatility and risk-free interest rate. As of the date of this report, there were approximately 1,060,000 [55,790] warrants outstanding which are subject to this Black - Scholes payout provision.
Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
In April and May 2017, respectively, two purported securities class action complaints-Shapiro v. Alliance MMA, Inc., No. 1:17-cv-2583 (D.N.J.), and Shulman v. Alliance MMA, Inc. , No. 1:17-cv-3282 (S.D.N.Y.)-were filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, respectively. The complaints alleged that the defendants violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws, and purported to seek damages in an amount to be alleged on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering. In July 2017, the plaintiffs in the New York action voluntarily dismissed their claim and, on March 8, 2018, the parties reached a settlement to the New Jersey action in which the carrier for our directors and officers liability insurance policy has agreed to cover Alliance’s financial obligations, including legal fees, under the settlement arrangement, subject to our payment of a deductible of $250,000, which has been paid in full as of the date of this report. The complaint was dismissed in October 2018.

In June 2018, the landlord of our Cherry Hill, New Jersey office filed suit against the Company for non-payment of rent. The Company successfully negotiated a settlement of $75,000 and issuance of a warrant to acquire 384,750 [20,250] shares. The Company originally recorded $167,000 of expense related to the lease within net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the cost of the remaining payments under the lease agreement.

Mazzeo, who resigned on May 25, 2018, served a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of NY. Mazzeo alleges that he (i) was fraudulently induced to become the CEO of the Company and (ii) entered into an employment contract with the Company and that the Company breached said alleged contract. Mazzeo seeks damages in “excess of $500,000.” The Company believes that the lawsuit is frivolous and violative of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on February 5, 2019, and in addition to mounting a vigorous defense, filed counter claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty.
Most Favored Nation Issuance
On October 19, 2018, the Company issued Red Diamond Partners 794,483 [41,815] shares of common stock in consideration of a “most favored nation” clause contained in a common stock subscription agreement. Under a clause in the subscription agreement, if the Company issued lower priced securities subsequent to the sale to the investor, then the Company would be required to re-price the investor’s shares to the lower price and issue additional shares accordingly. In relation to the settlement agreement the parties terminated the original agreement. A non-cash dividend of $200,000 was changed on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, in regards to this re-pricing.
Earn Out

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Offering
On January 9, 2018, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, acting as sole book-running manager (the “Underwriter”), for a secondary public offering (the “Offering”) of a combination of 2,150,000 [113,158] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, and 1,935,000 [101,842] warrants to purchase 1,935,000 [101,842] shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). Each share of common stock was sold in combination with a warrant to purchase 0.90 [0.05] shares of common stock. The Warrants have a five-year term and an original exercise price of $1.10 [$20.90] per share.
The warrants have a price adjustment provision (“ratchet”) in cases where the Company sells common stock or settles liabilities with equity, at a lower price than is reflected in the Warrants. During June, July and August, the Company completed qualifying transactions under the SCWorx note resulting in the Warrant exercise price being adjusted to $0.31 [$5.89] in June and $0.29 [$5.51] in July, which is the lowest amount the warrant can be repriced to. Based upon ASU 2017-11, the decrease in the exercise price of the warrant has been fair valued at approximately $190,000 and accounted for as a non-cash dividend within the consolidated balance sheet. The warrant also has a provision requiring the Company to pay the warrant holders the Black-Scholes value of the warrant upon consummation of a fundamental transaction. On August 20, 2018, the Company entered a stock exchange agreement with SCWorx which, upon closing, meets this definition. For illustration purposes only, the stock price at closing was $4.40, the Black-Scholes value was approximately $2.68 per share. As of the date this filing, there were approximately 1,060,000 [56,000] warrants outstanding which are subject to this Black-Scholes payout provision.
The Offering price was $1.00 [$19.00] per share of Common Stock and related Warrant and the Underwriter had agreed to purchase the shares of Common Stock and related Warrants from the Company at a 7.0% discount to the Offering price. In addition, the Company granted to the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 322,500 [16,974] shares of Common Stock and/or 290,250 [15,276] Warrants to purchase 290,250 [15,276] shares of Common Stock at the same price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter exercised this option is February 2018 resulting in an additional $50,000 from the sale and issuance of 50,000 [2,632] shares and 272,500 [14,342] warrants. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Each unit sold in these placements consists of one restricted share of AMMA common stock and a warrant to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 [$28.50] per share. The Company issued all 1,478,761 [77,830] shares of common stock sold in these placements on August 29, 2017.

The warrant issued with the October common stock placement included a price ratchet provision for cases where the Company sells common stock or settles liabilities with equity, at a lower price than is reflected in the warrants. The Company completed a transaction which resulted in the warrant exercise price being adjusted to $1.10 [$20.90]. Based upon ASU 2017-11, the decrease in the exercise price of the warrant has been fair valued at approximately $10,000 and accounted for as a non-cash dividend within the consolidated balance sheet. There is no further reduction to the exercise price as this provision has expired.

Note 10. Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option grants.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss from continuing operations per share and net loss per share for the periods presented:

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry-forward of $21.6 million available to offset future taxable income. The Company has state loss carry-forwards of $13.3 million. Future utilization of net operating losses may be limited due to potential ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These net operating loss carry-forwards have expiration dates starting in 2031 through 2037.
The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 was $6.8 million. The net change in valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2018 was an increase of $3.8 million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry-forward of $7.8 million available to offset future taxable income. The Company has state loss carry-forwards of $4.8 million. Future utilization of net operating losses may be limited due to potential ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These net operating loss carry-forwards have expiration dates starting in 2031 through 2037.
The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017 was $3.0 million. The net change in valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2017 was an increase of $1.8 million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018.
The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits during the periods presented within. By statute, all tax years are open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company remeasured its federal deferred tax balances to reflect the lower statutory rate, offset by a change in its federal valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act and no adjustments have been made to its provisional estimate recorded during the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company will file the 2017 and 2018 audited financial statements of SCWorx Corp., along with required pro-forma financial information, within 75 days of the closing of the Acquisition.
In connection with the closing of the Acquisition on February 1, 2019 and as a result of the issuance of the 5,263,158 (post-split adjusted) shares of the Company’s common stock, there was a change of control of the Company. Upon completion of the Acquisition, Marc S. Schessel, the majority stockholder of SCWorx, beneficially owned approximately 1,032,603 post-split adjusted shares of the Company’s common stock (15.8% of the issued and outstanding shares, not including shares which were issuable to Mr. Schessel under the SEA, the right to which was transferred by him and over which Mr. Schessel has neither voting nor investment control). Mr. Schessel was the controlling shareholder of SCWorx Corp. immediately prior to the Acquisition.
The SEA provided that SCWorx would have the right to designate the officers and directors of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition. As a result, effective as of the Closing Date, Messrs. Tracy, Gamberale and Watson resigned as directors of the Company and John Price resigned the office of President but will remain as Chief Financial Officer of SCWorx post-closing.
Immediately prior to their resignation as directors, the Board of Directors appointed the following individuals, designated by SCWorx Corp. pursuant to the SEA, to serve as directors and officers of the Company post-closing:
· | Ira Eliot Ritter, Director |
· | Francis Knuettel II, Director |
· | Robert Christie, Director |
· | Marc S. Schessel, CEO and Director |
· | John Price, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary |
Charles K. Miller, who was appointed as a director in October 2018, remained as a director of the Company post-closing. At the time of their respective appointments, the compensation of the officers and directors of the Company had not been agreed upon. On February 13, 2019, the Company’s Compensation Committee recommended, and its board of directors approved the compensation of the Company’s officers and directors as described below. The Company’s common stock closed at $6.49 per share on February 13, 2019, the grant date for all equity awards recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
