Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

Marathon Patent Group, Inc.s (the Company) business is to acquire patents and patent rights and to monetize the value of those assets to generate revenue and profit for the Company. We acquire patents and patent rights from their owners, who range from individual inventors to Fortune 500 companies. Part of our acquisition strategy is to acquire or invest in patents and patent rights that cover a wide-range of subject matter, which allows us to achieve the benefits of a growing diversified portfolio of assets. Generally, the patents and patent rights that we acquire are characterized by having large identifiable companies who are or have been using technology that infringes our patents and patent rights. We generally monetize our portfolio of patents and patent rights by entering into license discussions, and if that is unsuccessful, initiating enforcement activities against any infringing parties with the objective of entering into a standard form of comprehensive settlement and license agreement that may include the granting of non-exclusive retroactive and future rights to use the patented technology, a covenant not to sue, a release of the party from certain claims, the dismissal of any pending litigation and other terms that are appropriate in the circumstances. Our strategy has been developed with the expectation that it will result in a long-term, diversified revenue stream for the Company.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2010 under the name Verve Ventures, Inc. On December 7, 2011, we changed our name to American Strategic Minerals Corporation and were engaged in the business of exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business. In June 2012, we discontinued our minerals business and began to invest in real estate properties in Southern California. In October 2012, we discontinued our real estate business when our CEO joined the firm and we commenced our current business, at which time the Companys name was changed to Marathon Patent Group, Inc.

On October 1, 2012, the shareholders holding a majority of the Companys voting capital had voted and authorized the Company to change the name of the Company to Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (the Name Change). The Board of Directors approved the Name Change on October 1, 2012. The Board of Directors determined the name Marathon Patent Group, Inc. better reflected the long-term strategy in exploring other opportunities and the identity of the Company going forward. On February 15, 2013, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to effectuate the Name Change.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of patent assets, the assumptions used to calculate fair value of warrants and options granted, goodwill impairment, realization of long-lived assets, deferred income taxes, unrealized tax positions and business combination accounting.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Companys accounts held at this institution, up to a limit of $250,000, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of June 30, 2017, the Company had bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At each of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded an allowance for bad debts in the amount of $387,976. Accounts receivable, net at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, amounted to $116,336 and $95,069, respectively.

Concentration of Revenue and Geographic Area

Revenue from the Companys patent enforcement activities is considered United States revenue as any payments for licenses included in that revenue are for United States operations irrespective of the location of the licensees or licensees parent home domicile.

The Company had $265,000 in revenues from two newly issue licenses accounting for approximately 72% of the Companys revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2017, and revenues from the five largest licenses accounted for approximately 99% of the Companys revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as set forth below. The Company derived these revenues from the one-time issuance of non-recurring, non-exclusive, non-assignable licenses. While the Company has a growing portfolio of patents, at this time, the Company expects that a significant portion of its future revenues will be based on one-time grants of similar non-recurring, non-exclusive, non-assignable licenses to a relatively small number of entities and their affiliates. Further, with the expected small number of firms with which the Company enters into license agreements, and the amount and timing of such license agreements, the Company also expects that its revenues may be highly variable from one period to the next.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017				For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Licensor	License Amount		% of Revenue	Licensor	License Amount		% of Revenue
Munitech IP S.a.r.l.	$	200,000	54%	Dynamic Advances, LLC	$	24,900,000	72	%

Signal IP, Inc.	$	65,000	18%	Orthophenix, LLC	$	4,500,000	13	%

				Orthophenix, LLC	$	3,750,000	11	%

				Orthophenix, LLC	$	600,000	2	%

				Signal IP, Inc.	$	310,000	1	%

	Total		72%		Total		99	%

The remainder of the revenue is attributable to running royalties in the Companys Medtech portfolio.

At the current time, we define customers as firms that obtain licenses to the Companys patents, either prior to or during enforcement litigation. These firms generally enter into non-recurring, non-exclusive, non-assignable license agreements with the Company, and these customers do not generally engage on ongoing, recurring business activity with the Company. The Company has historically had a small number of customers enter into such agreements, resulting in higher levels of revenue concentration.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability of amounts is reasonably assured. In general, revenue arrangements provide for the payment of contractually determined fees in consideration for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company.

Table of Contents

These rights typically include some combination of the following: (i) the grant of a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company, (ii) a covenant-not-to-sue, (iii) the dismissal of any pending litigation.

The intellectual property rights granted typically are perpetual in nature. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company has no further obligation with respect to the grant of the non-exclusive licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other deliverables, including no express or implied obligation on the Companys part to maintain or upgrade the technology, or provide future support or services. Generally, the agreements provide for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon execution of the agreement. As such, the earnings process is complete and revenue is recognized upon the execution of the agreement, when collectability is reasonably assured, and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The Company also considers the revenue generated from its settlement and licensing agreements as one unit of accounting under ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements as the delivered items do not have value to customers on a standalone basis, there are no undelivered elements and there is no general right of return relative to the license. Under ASC 605-25, the appropriate recognition of revenue is determined for the combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the final elements, including the license for past and future use and the release.

Also, since the settlement element and license element for past and future use are the Companys major central business, the Company presents these two elements as one revenue category in its statement of operations. The Company does not expect to provide licenses that do not provide some form of settlement or release. Revenue from newly issued patent licenses activities accounted for 72% and 99% of the Companys revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $128,718 and $202,067 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, consist primarily of costs paid for future services, which will occur within a year. Prepaid expenses include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for public relation services, business advisory, consulting, and prepaid insurance, which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements.

Bonds Posted With Courts

Under certain circumstances related to litigations in Germany, the Company is either required to or may decide to enter a bond with the courts. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding bonds in the amount of $375,603 and $0, respectively. These bonds were entered into in Germany upon the filing of cases in the Companys Munitech portfolio in Germany during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the difference in the balance of the litigation bonds at December 31, 2016 compared to June 30, 2017 is attributable to the placement of these bonds with the German court.

In connection with the transaction, the Company is obligated to pay to MedTech $1 million at closing and $1 million on each of the following nine (9) month anniversary dates of the closing. On July 16, 2015, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the Agreement) with MedTech Development, the holder of a Promissory Note issued by the Company, dated October 10, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the term of the Note was extended to October 1, 2015 and the Note began accruing interest starting from May 13, 2015. In addition, the Company agreed to make certain mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances and issue to MedTech Development 200,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. In accordance with ASC 470-50, the Company recorded this agreement as debt extinguishment and $654,000 was recorded as loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended September 30, 2015. On October 23, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Forbearance Agreement (the Amendment) entered into with MedTech Development on July 16, 2015. Pursuant to the Amendment, the due date of the Promissory Note was extended to October 23, 2016 in return for which the Company made a payment of $100,000 on October 23, 2015 and modified the terms under which the Company agreed to make mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances.

In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a promissory note, common interest agreement and in the event of issuance of common stock to MedTech, will enter into a lockup and registration rights agreement. Approximately forty-five percent (45%) of MedTech is owned or controlled by Erich Spangenberg or family members or associates.

On May 10, 2016, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Erich Spangenberg pursuant to which Mr. Spangenberg became the Companys Director of Acquisitions, Licensing and Strategy. Mr. Spangenberg resigned on August 3, 2017 and has been engaged as a consultant by the Company.

On October 1, 2016, one of the Companys subsidiaries, PG Technologies S.a.r.l. entered into an advisory services agreement with Granicus IP, LLC, an entity owned or controlled by one of the Companys employees, whereby Granicus receives a percentage of pre-tax return from PG Technologies after certain revenue thresholds have been met.

During 2016, certain officers and directors of the Company received restricted common stock in the Companys 3D Nano subsidiary.

At June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, Other noncurrent assets in the Balance Sheets consist of a note receivable from an entity controlled by one of the Companys employees that are uncollateralized. The note receivable does not carry interest and is repayable to the Company at the earlier of March 31, 2022 or based on certain milestones. The note receivable balance have been classified as current assets because the Company believes that it will be collected within one year from the Balance Sheet dates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures at fair value certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1:		Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2:		Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3:		Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entitys own assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, bonds posted with courts, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable and other long-term liabilities approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.

Table of Contents

Clouding IP earn out liability was determined as a Level 3 liability, which requires an assessment of fair value at each period end by using discounted cash flow as a valuation technique using unobservable inputs, such as revenue and expenses forecasts, timing of proceeds, and discount rate. Based on reassessment of fair value as of June 30, 2017, the Company determined that there was no reduction in either the Clouding IP earn out liability or the carrying value of the Clouding IP intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Under certain circumstances related to litigations in Germany, the Company is either required to or may decide to enter a bond with the courts. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding bonds in the amount of $375,603 and $0, respectively. The Company adjusted the value as of June 30, 2017 of the bonds, relative to value as of March 31, 2017, in an amount of $23,956 to reflect changes to the exchange rate between the Euro and the US Dollar.

Accounting for Acquisitions

In the normal course of its business, the Company makes acquisitions of patent assets and may also make acquisitions of businesses. With respect to each such transaction, the Company evaluates facts of the transaction and follows the guidelines prescribed in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations to determine the proper accounting treatment for each such transaction and then records the transaction in accordance with the conclusions reached in such analysis. The Company performs such analysis with respect to each material acquisition within the consolidated group of entities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

The Company follows the provision of the ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Position. When tax returns are filed, it is more likely than not that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is most likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions will more likely than not be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. The Company is in the process of filing the 2016 tax returns. After review of the prior year financial statements and the results of operations through December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (ASC 260). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive. The Company has options to purchase 2,725,404 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 4,731,573 shares of common stock, convertible notes convertible into 66,667 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 782,004 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 782,004 shares of Common Stock outstanding at June 30, 2017, which were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding, as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Companys net loss.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017		For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016		For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017		For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Intangible Assets - Patents

Intangible assets include patents purchased and patents acquired in lieu of cash in licensing transactions. The patents purchased are recorded based on the cost to acquire them and patents acquired in lieu of cash are recorded at their fair market value. The costs of these assets are amortized over their remaining useful lives. Useful lives of intangible assets are periodically evaluated for reasonableness and the assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. The Company did not record an impairment charge to its intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to an impairment charge associated with the end of life of a number of the Companys portfolios during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 in the amounts of $620,696 and $993,890, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually in accordance with ASC 350, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

When conducting its annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company then applies a two-step impairment test. The two-step impairment test first compares the fair value of the Companys reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company determines the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill and if the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. The Company performs the annual testing for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level during the quarter ended September 30.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded no impairment charge to its goodwill and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded impairment to its Goodwill in the amount of $83,000 and $83,000, respectively.

Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Others, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: (1) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (2) significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and (3) significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company recorded no impairment charge to its other intangible assets.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to the ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.

The Company did not record any impairment charges on its long-lived assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. As stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest, forfeitures are also estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the expected forfeiture rate was 12.75%, which resulted in an expense of $19,498 and $48,634, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, recognized in the Companys compensation expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the expected forfeiture rate was 11.03%, which resulted in an expense of $12,477 and $27,262 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, recognized in the Companys compensation expenses. The Company will continue to re-assess the impact of forfeitures if actual forfeitures increase in future quarters.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third parties, compensation expense is determined at the measurement date. The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2017, we had approximately $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $8.7 million.

Based on the Companys current revenue and profit projections, management is uncertain that the Companys existing cash and accounts receivables will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements, raising substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue operating as a going concern. If we do not meet our revenue and profit projections or the business climate turns negative, then we will need to:

· raise additional funds to support the Companys operations; provided, however, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing securities, existing stockholders may be diluted; and

· review strategic alternatives.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail our operations or other business activities or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain technologies or potential markets. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlements of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU provides clarity about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require the application of modification accounting. Specifically, ASU 2017-09 clarifies that changes to the terms or conditions of an award should be accounted for as a modification unless all of the following are met: 1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, 2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified and 3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to significantly impact its accounting for share-based payment awards, as changes to awards terms and conditions subsequent to the grant date are unusual and infrequent in nature.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04 IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01), which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU 2016-16), which eliminates the exception in existing guidance which defers the recognition of the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory until the transferred asset is sold to a third party. Rather, the amended guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15). The standard is intended to eliminate diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, (ASC) Topic 606. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard for periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted but not earlier than the original effective date. This ASU must be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are considering the alternatives of adoption of this ASU and we are conducting our review of the likely impact to the existing portfolio of customer contracts entered into prior to adoption. After completing our review, we will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting this guidance upon our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Table of Contents

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on September 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

There were other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company paid Clouding IP (i) $1.4 million in cash, (ii) $1.0 million in the form of a promissory note issued by the Company that would have matured on October 31, 2014, (iii) 25,000 shares of its restricted common stock valued at $281,000 and (iv) fifty percent (50%) of the net recoveries (gross revenues minus certain defined expenses) in excess of $4.0 million in net revenues that the Company makes with respect to the patents purchased from Clouding IP. The Company valued the Common Stock at the fair market value on the date of the Interests Sale Agreement at $11.24 per share or $281,000 and the promissory note was paid in full prior to October 31, 2014. The revenue share under item (iv) above was booked as an earn out liability on the balance sheet in accordance with the appraisal of the consideration and intangible value. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the earn out liability was $1,468,133 and $1,482,012, respectively. The Company booked a payable to the sellers pursuant to the earn out liability in the amount of $2,148,000 at September 30, 2014, based on license agreements entered into during the quarter. No further amount is owed until the Company generates additional revenue, if any, from the Clouding patents.

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to determine the fair value of the assets purchases, and the net purchase price paid by the Company was subsequently allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the records of the Company as follows:

Intangible assets	$	14,500,000
Goodwill	1,296,000
Net purchase price	$	15,796,000

Total consideration paid of the following:

Cash	$	1,400,000
Promissory Note	1,000,000
Common Stock	281,000
Earn Out Liability	13,115,000
Net purchase price	$	15,796,000

Table of Contents

Upon further evaluation, the total value of the earn-out liability was reduced, measured as of the acquisition date, to reflect certain underlying changes in the litigation schedule. Historical financial statements of Clouding and the pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements can be found on the Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on November 12, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been attained if the merger had been in effect on the dates indicated or which may be attained in the future. Such statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company.

The Clouding IP earn out liability was determined to be a Level 3 liability, which requires fair assessment of fair value at each period end by using a discounted cash flow model as the valuation methodology, using unobservable inputs, such as revenue and expenses forecasts, timing of proceeds, and discount rates. Based on the reassessment of fair value as of June 30, 2016, the Company determined the Clouding IP earn out liability to be $81,930 (current portion) and $1,386,203 (long-term portion), which was unchanged from the fair value as of ended March 31, 2017.

Senior Secured Term Notes

On January 29, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a series of Agreements including a Securities Purchase Agreement with DBD Credit Funding LLC, (DBD) an affiliate of Fortress Credit Corp., under which the terms of the notes were:

(i) $15,000,000 original principal amount of Fortress Notes (the Initial Note);

(ii) a right to receive a portion of certain proceeds from monetization net revenues received by the Company (the Revenue Stream, after receipt by the Company of $15,000,000 of monetization net revenues and repayment of the Fortress Notes);

(iii) a five-year Fortress Warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock exercisable at $7.44 per share, subject to adjustment; and

(iv) 134,409 shares of the Issuers Common Stock (the Fortress Shares).

On February 12, 2015, the Company issued an additional $5,000,000 of Notes (which increase proportionately the Revenue Stream).

The Initial Note matures on July 29, 2018. Additional Notes issued pursuant to the Fortress Purchase Agreement mature 42 months after issuance. The unpaid principal amount of the Initial Note plus the additional $5,000,000 note (including any PIK Interest, as defined below) bear cash interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 9.75% per annum payable on the last business day of each month. Interest is paid in cash except that 2.75% per annum of the interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be paid-in-kind, by increasing the principal amount of the Notes by the amount of such interest. Monthly principal payments are due commencing one year after the anniversary dates of the loans.

The terms of the Fortress Warrant provide that until January 29, 2020, the Warrant may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. Exercisability of the Fortress Warrant is limited if, upon exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Companys Common Stock. The exercise price of the warrant is $7.44 and the warrant fair value was determined to be $318,679 utilizing the Black-Scholes model, with the fair value of the warrants recorded as additional paid-in capital and reducing the carrying value of the Notes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unamortized discount on the Notes was $1,805,701 and $1,425,167, respectively.

On January 10, 2017 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing and Securities Purchase Agreement (ARRSSPA) with DBD Credit Funding LLC, under which the Company and DBD amended and restated the Revenue Sharing and Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 29, 2015 (the Original Agreement) pursuant to which (i) Fortress purchased $20,000,000 in promissory notes, of which $15,835,900 is outstanding as of June 30, 2017, (ii) an interest in the Companys revenues from certain activities and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock.

Pursuant to the ARRSSPA, Fortress acquired an increased revenue stream right to certain revenues generated by the Company through monetization of our patent portfolio (Monetization Revenues). The ARRSSPA increases the revenue stream basis to $1,225,000. The ARRSSPA provides for the potential issuance of up to $7,500,000 of additional notes (the Additional Notes), of which not more than $3,750,000 shall be made prior to June 30, 2017 and of which not more than $3,750,000 shall be made available during the period following June 30, 2017 and on or prior to December 31, 2017 and not more than two such issuances shall occur under the ARRSSPA.

The unpaid principal amount of the New Note (including any PIK Interest, as defined below) shall bear cash interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 9.75% per annum; provided that upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Initial Note), the interest rate shall increase by an additional 2% per annum.

Interest on the Initial Note shall be paid on the last business day of each calendar month (the Interest Payment Date), commencing January 31, 2017. Interest shall be paid in cash except that 2.75% per annum of the interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be paid-in-kind, by increasing the principal amount of the Notes by the amount of such interest, effective as of the applicable Interest Payment Date (PIK Interest). PIK Interest shall be treated as added principal of the New Note for all purposes, including interest accrual and the calculation of any prepayment premium. The Company paid a structuring fee of 2.0% of the New Note and would pay a 2.0% fee upon the issuance of any Additional Notes. The proceeds of the New Note and any Additional Notes may be used for working capital purposes, portfolio acquisitions, growth capital and other general corporate purposes.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This report on Form 10-Q (Report) and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us may contain so-called forward-looking statements, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as expects, plans, will, forecasts, projects, intends, estimates, and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Report is included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or included data from all sources, and cannot assure investors of the accuracy or completeness of the data included in this Report. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We acquire patents and patent rights from owners or other ventures and seek to monetize the value of the patents through litigation and licensing strategies, alone or with others. Part of our acquisition strategy is to acquire or invest in patents and patent rights that cover a wide-range of subject matter which allows us to seek the benefits of a diversified portfolio of assets in differing industries and countries. Generally, the patents and patent rights that we seek to acquire have large identifiable targets who are or have been using technology that we believe infringes our patents and patent rights. We generally monetize our portfolio of patents and patent rights by entering into license discussions, and if that is unsuccessful, initiating enforcement activities against any infringing parties with the objective of entering into comprehensive settlement and license agreements that may include the granting of non-exclusive retroactive and future rights to use the patented technology, a covenant not to sue, a release of the party from certain claims, the dismissal of any pending litigation and other terms. Our strategy has been developed with the expectation that it will result in a long-term, diversified revenue stream for the Company. As of June 30, 2017, we owned 293 patents and had economic rights to over 10,000 additional patents, both of which include U.S. patents and certain foreign counterparts, covering technologies used in a wide variety of industries.

Our principal office is located at 11100 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 380, Los Angeles, CA 90025. Our telephone number is (703) 232-1701.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2010 under the name Verve Ventures, Inc. On December 7, 2011, we changed our name to American Strategic Minerals Corporation and were engaged in exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business. During June 2012, we discontinued our minerals business and began to invest in real estate properties in Southern California. In November 2012, we discontinued our real estate business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Revenue Recognition

Also, due to the fact that the settlement element and license element for past and future use are the Companys major central business, the Company presents these two elements as one revenue category in its statement of operations. The Company does not expect to provide licenses that do not provide some form of settlement or release.

Revenue from newly issued patent licenses activities accounted for 72% and 99% of the Companys revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Accounting for Acquisitions

Table of Contents

Intangible Asset - Patents

Goodwill

Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65, Intangibles - Goodwill and Others, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: (1) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (2) significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and (3) significant negative industry or economic trends.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company recorded no impairment charge to its other intangible assets.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company did not record any impairment charges on its long-lived assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Stock-based Compensation

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2017, we had approximately $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $8.7 million.

Based on the Companys current revenue and profit projections, management is uncertain that the Companys existing cash and accounts receivables will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next twelve months, raising substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue operating as a going concern. If we do not meet our revenue and profit projections or the business climate turns negative, then we will need to:

· raise additional funds to support the Companys operations; however, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing securities, existing stockholders may be diluted; and

· review strategic alternatives.

Results of Operations

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

We generated revenues of $368,800 and $446,937 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $34,349,762 and $36,409,438 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, this represented a decrease of $33,980,962 or 99% and $35,962,501 or 99%, respectively. On an absolute basis, revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was derived from both the issuance of two one-time patent licenses and recurring royalties and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 revenue was primarily derived from the issuance of one-time patent licenses with the remainder of the revenue derived from recurring royalties. The decrease in revenue from 2016 to 2017 resulted from fewer, smaller license agreements following the Companys largest period of revenues in 2016.

Revenues from the issuance of one-time licenses to certain of the Companys patent portfolios accounted for approximately 72% and 59% of our revenues for the three months and six ended June 30, 2017 and 100% and 99% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, revenues from two settlement and license agreements accounted for approximately 72% of the Companys revenues, whereas revenues from the five largest settlement and license agreements accounted for 99% of the Companys revenue for the comparable period ending June 30, 2016.

Table of Contents

Direct cost of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $1,024,078 and $1,479,486, respectively and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the direct cost of revenues amounted to $15,467,763 and $18,107,740, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, this represented a decrease of $14,443,685 or 93% and $16,628,254 or 92%, respectively. Direct costs of revenue include contingent payments to patent enforcement legal costs, patent enforcement advisors and inventors as well as various non-contingent costs associated with enforcing the Companys patent rights and otherwise in developing and entering into settlement and licensing agreements that generate the Companys revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had lower contingent fee costs associated with lower levels of revenue. Direct cost of revenues were 178% and 230%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and direct costs of revenues were 45% and 50%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2016. The higher direct cost of revenues in 2017 relative to 2016 result from lower levels of revenue in 2017 relative to the same period in 2016 as well as costs associated filing new infringement cases in Germany.

We incurred other operating expenses of $2,273,434 and $4,705,851 for the three and six months June 30, 2017, respectively and $4,872,209 and $9,196,300 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, this represented a decrease in other operating expenses of $2,598,775 or 47% and $4,490,449 or 51%, respectively. These expenses primarily consisted of amortization of patents, general expenses, compensation to our officers, directors and employees, professional and consulting fees incurred in connection with the day-to-day operation of our business and patent and goodwill impairment charges. The year over year decline in other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted from declines every expense category other than Other General and Administrative, which increased for both periods in 2017 compared to 2016.

The operating expenses consisted of the following:

(1) Amortization of intangibles and depreciation: Amortization expenses associated with patents and the Companys website were $639,887 and $1,345,846 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, a decrease of $1,321,524 or 67% and $2,641,464 or 67% relative to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease results from the partial or full impairment of numerous of the Companys portfolios reducing the carrying fair value and the related amortization expenses. When the Company acquires patents and patent rights, the Company capitalizes the cost of those assets and amortizes those costs over the remaining useful lives of the assets. All patent amortization expenses are non-cash expenses.

(2) Compensation expense and related taxes: Compensation expense includes cash compensation and related payroll taxes and benefits, and non-cash equity compensation expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compensation expense and related payroll taxes were $760,542 and $1,846,088, a decrease of $360,382 or 32% and 308,182 or 14% relative to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily reflects lower headcount following a staff reduction during the first quarter of 2017. We recognized non-cash employee and board equity based compensation of $135,940 and $317,277, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $482,640 and $901,477, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

(3) Consulting fees: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, we incurred consulting fees of $85,580 and $56,801. This represented decreases in the amount of $279,256 or 77% and $588,811 or 91% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Consulting fees include both cash and non-cash related consulting fees primarily for investor relations, public relations and general consulting services. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2017 reflects a reduction in activity related to the acquisition of new portfolios and a reduction in expenses associated with consultants. The decrease in consulting for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 was a result of the lower level of activity described above for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as well as a credit recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 associated with the mark to market of an option grant issued to a consultant who no longer derives a majority of his compensation from the Company. As a result, the Company must mark to market his option grant on a quarterly basis, and given the considerable decline in the Companys stock price since the issuance of the grant, this resulted in a sizable credit. During the three ended June 30, 2017, we recognized non-cash equity based consulting expenses of $5,883 and during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a non-cash equity based consulting credit of $134,138. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized non-cash equity-based consulting expenses of $156,572 and $274,263, respectively.

(4) Professional fees: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred professional fees of $645,144 and $1,070,830, respectively, an increase of $146,932 or 29% and $167,125 or 18% over the comparable periods in 2016. Professional fees primarily reflect the costs of professional outside accounting fees, legal fees and audit fees. The increase in professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 over the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 relate to higher professional outside legal, accounting and audit fees resulting from the costs associated with closing the Fortress restructuring in January 2017 and the equity issuance in April 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized non-cash equity-based professional expenses of $108 and $217, respectively, compared to non-cash equity-based professional expenses of $8,552 and $17,087, respectively, during the same periods in 2016.

(5) Other general and administrative expenses: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred other general and administrative expenses of $142,281 and $386,286, respectively, a decrease of $80,849 or 36% and $42,227 or 10% over the comparable periods in 2016. General and administrative expenses reflect the other non-categorized operating costs of the Company and include expenses related to being a public company, rent, insurance, technology and other expenses incurred to support the operations of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized non-cash equity based other G&A expenses of $2,003 and $3,483, respectively, compared to non-cash equity-based other G&A expenses of $13,284 and $14,936, respectively, during the same periods in 2016.

(6) Goodwill impairment: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no impairment of goodwill. Based on the Companys decision to end of life one of its portfolios, the Company took an impairment charge during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 in the carrying value of the related goodwill in the amount of $83,000.

(7) Patent impairment: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no impairment of the carrying value of the Companys patents. Based on changes in the expected timing of proceeds from the Clouding portfolio, as well as the impairment of one portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and two portfolios during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company took impairment charges for three and six months June 30, 2016 in the carrying value of the Companys patents assets in the amount of $620,696 and 993,890, respectively.

We reported operating income (loss) of $(2,928,712) and $(5,738,400) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and operating income (loss) of $14,009,790 and 9,105,398, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, this represented a decrease in operating income of $16,938,502 and 14,843,798, respectively. The decreased income from operations in 2017 relative to 2016 was primarily attributable to lower revenue, higher direct cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue, only partially offset by lower cash and non-cash operating expenses.

Other Income (Expenses)

Total other income (expenses) was $660,512 and $(207,083) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $(761,250) and $(1,775,319) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, this represented an increase in other income of $1,421,762 and $1,568,236, respectively.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

We recognized no income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 following a decision to record a full valuation allowance for the Companys deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized no income tax benefit as a result of the Companys profit. We recognized an income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 in the amounts of $(17,242) and $(17,242), respectively and $(5,345,983) and $(3,320,935) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Net Income (Loss)

We reported net income (loss) of $(2,285,442) and $(5,962,725) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and net income (loss) of $7,902,557 and $4,009,144 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, this represented a decrease in the net income of $10,187,999 and $9,971,839, respectively.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Non-GAAP earnings as presented in this Annual Report is a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). Non-GAAP earnings is not a measurement of our financial performance under US GAAP and should not be considered as alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with US GAAP, or as alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. In addition, in evaluating Non-GAAP earnings, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Non-GAAP earnings. Our presentation of Non-GAAP earnings should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Non-GAAP earnings has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) it does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (iii) it does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Non-GAAP earnings does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows, and (vi) other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the US GAAP amounts excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures. We further compensate for the limitations in our use of Non-GAAP financial measures by presenting comparable US GAAP measures more prominently.

We believe that Non-GAAP earnings facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present Non-GAAP earnings because (i) we believe that this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, (ii) we believe that investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) we use Non-GAAP earnings internally as benchmark to compare our performance to that of our competitors.

The Company uses a Non-GAAP reconciliation of net income (loss) and earnings (EPS reconciliation loss) per share in the presentation of financial results here. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation.

On a Non-GAAP basis, the Companys recorded a Non-GAAP loss of $(2,088,631) and $(4,497,051) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to Non-GAAP earnings in the amount of $16,467,737 and $14,108,086 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The details of those expenses and non-GAAP reconciliation of these non-cash items are set forth below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At June 30, 2017, the Companys cash balances totaled $1,095,721 compared to $4,998,314 at December 31, 2016. The decrease in the cash balances of $3,902,593 resulted primarily from net cash used in operations, offset by cash received upon the issuance of equity.

The net working capital deficit declined by $6,226,106 to $(8,693,477) at June 30, 2017 from $(14,939,583) at December 31, 2016. The increase in net working capital resulted primarily from a reduction in the Companys accounts payable as well as the restructuring of the Fortress debt, as part of which, the obligation to make principal payments were deferred for one year, moving a majority of the Companys short-term debt to long-term debt.

Cash provided (used) in operating activities was $(7,115,212) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and cash provided (used) in operating activities of was $13,124,767 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The difference between the six months ended June 30, 2016, during which the Company generated cash from operating activities, and the six months ended June 30, 2017, during which the Company used cash in operating activities, is largely tied to the much lower level of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the comparable period in 2016.

Cash provided (used) in investing activities was $(4,194) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $(1,156,291) cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The use of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was solely related to the purchases of property, equipment and other non-patent intangible assets and cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily the acquisition of new patent portfolios.

Cash provided (used) in financing activities was $3,212,397 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to cash provided (used) in financing activities in the amount of $(7,364,703) during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted from the issuance of equity, offset by the repayment of some outstanding debt. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted from the repayment of notes payable related to the acquisition of the Medtech portfolios, the repayment of principal on the Fortress debt and the repayment of other minor debt obligations.

Management is uncertain that the balance of cash and cash equivalents of $1,095,721 at June 30, 2017 is sufficient to continue to fund the Companys operations through at least the next twelve months. The Companys operations are subject to various risks and there is no assurance that changes in the operations of the Company will not require the Company to raise additional cash sooner than planned in order to continue uninterrupted operations. In that event, the Company would seek to raise additional capital from the sale of the Companys securities, from borrowing or from other sources. Should the Company seek to raise capital from the issuances of its securities, such transactions would be subject to the risks of the market for the Companys securities at the time.

Table of Contents

Based on the Companys current revenue and profit projections, management is uncertain that the Companys existing cash and accounts receivables will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next twelve months, raising substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue operating as a going concern. If we do not meet our revenue and profit projections or the business climate turns negative, then we will need to:

· review strategic alternatives.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholders equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated condensed financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We 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 June 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. 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, because of material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, described below in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2017, 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 SECs 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.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework in the 2013 COSO framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, management identified a material weakness with respect to the financial reporting and close process, resulting from a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions and evidence of control review. Accordingly, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2017.

Table of Contents

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

We believe that the foregoing steps if implemented, will help remediate the material weakness identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the nature of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the companys financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting since the Company is a smaller reporting company under the rules of the SEC.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In the normal course of our business of patent monetization, it is generally necessary for us to initiate litigation in order to commence the process of protecting our patent rights. Such litigation is expected to lead to a monetization event. Accordingly, we are, and in the future, expect to become, a party to ongoing patent enforcement related litigation alleging infringement by various third parties of certain patented technologies owned and/or controlled by us. Litigation is commenced by and managed through the subsidiary that owns the related portfolio of patents or patent rights. In connection with our enforcement activities, we are currently involved in multiple patent infringement cases. As of June 30, 2017, the Company is involved into a total of 11 lawsuits against defendants in the following jurisdictions:

United States
District of Delaware		5

Marathon Patent Group, Inc. and Clouding Corp. are currently defendants in a lawsuit captioned as Symantec Corporation v. IP Navigation Group, LLC; Clouding IP, LLC, et al., Los Angeles County Superior Court, Case No.: BC640931. Symantec alleges the following causes of action against Marathon and Clouding in the First Amended Complaint: fraudulent misrepresentation; interference with contractual relations; violation of Business and Professions Code section 17200, et seq.; and accounting. A Post Mediation Status Conference is scheduled for January 24, 2018 (although the parties have not discussed mediation or any other form of alternative dispute resolution). A Final Status Conference is scheduled for March 16, 2018. Trial of the matter is scheduled to commence on March 26, 2018.

On October 13, 2016, Liner LLP (Liner), a law firm, filed an arbitration request seeking payment of outstanding legal fees invoiced by Liner to Signal IP, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
