2. Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans

At March 31, 2017, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were its cash and cash equivalents and the net proceeds from the closing of the CFL Transaction (as defined in Note 7).

The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $50,560,000 at March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company generated a net loss of approximately $3,102,000, used cash in operations of approximately $3,356,000, which includes $1,450,000 paid to LinkedIn as a litigation settlement, and the Company expects that it will continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2017, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $5,562,000. Total revenues were approximately $5,634,000 and $7,343,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had positive working capital of approximately $1,428,000 and $1,000,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company is closely monitoring operating costs and capital requirements and has developed an operating plan for 2017 that includes cost reductions in the areas of its staffing levels and operating budgets.
 
On November 7, 2016, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of 1,777,417 shares of the Company’s common stock to Cosmic Forward Limited, a Republic of Seychelles company wholly-owned by a group of Chinese investors (“CFL”), in a private placement, at a price of $9.60 per share (“Share Issuance”). In addition, on November 7, 2016, the Company completed the repurchase of 312,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $9.60 per share (“Tender Offer”). The Company received total gross proceeds of $17,063,000 from the Share Issuance, or $14,063,000 after giving effect to the payment for the 312,500 shares of common stock from the Tender Offer. The Company received approximately $9,000,000 in net proceeds from the Share Issuance, after repayment of all amounts outstanding under its Master Credit Facility and the payment of transaction-related expenses.
 
On January 18, 2017, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of 312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to CFL at a price of $9.60 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3,000,000, or $2,821,000 after giving effect to the payment of transaction-related expenses.

Management believes that its available funds will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements through May 2018. However, there can be no assurances that the plans and actions proposed by management will be successful, that the Company will generate anticipated revenues, or that unforeseen circumstances will not require additional funding sources in the future or effectuate plans to conserve liquidity. Future efforts to raise additional funds may not be successful or they may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
