SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
REPORT
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this
“Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements give our current
expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical
or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,”
“believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,”
“intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or
other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective products,
applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of anticipated products; anticipated expenses; and projected
financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
● our ability to continue as a going concern;
● our operating expenses exceed our revenues and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future;
● our ability to obtain additional capital, which may be difficult to raise as a result of our limited operating history or any
number of other reasons;
● our ability provide digital content that is useful to users;
● our ability to retain existing users or add new users;
● competition from traditional media companies;
● general economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us and our users; and
● other factors discussed in this Form 10-Q.
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions
or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements
we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk
Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements
that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions,
joint ventures or investments we may make or collaborations or strategic partnerships we may enter into.
You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents
that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially
different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise
requires, the terms “Creatd,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer
collectively to Creatd, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Except where indicated, all share and per
share data in this Form 10-Q, including the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, reflect the 1-for-20 reverse
stock split of the Company’s common stock (which also adjusted the number of authorized shares of common stock) effected
on July 30, 2019 and the 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock effected on August
17, 2020 (which did not adjust the number of authorized shares of common stock).

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
Creatd, Inc., formerly Jerrick Media Holdings,
Inc. (“we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Creatd”), is a technology company focused
on the development of digital communities, marketing branded digital content, and e-commerce opportunities. Creatd’s content
distribution platform, Vocal, delivers a robust long-form, digital publishing platform organized into highly engaged niche-communities
capable of hosting all forms of rich media content. Through Creatd’s proprietary algorithm dynamics, Vocal enhances the visibility
of content and maximizes viewership, providing advertisers access to target markets that most closely match their interests.
The Company was originally incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 1999 under the name LILM, Inc. The Company changed its name on December 3,
2013 to Great Plains Holdings, Inc. (“GTPH”) as part of its plan to diversify its business.
On February 5, 2016 (the “Closing
Date”), GTPH, GPH Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GTPH (“Merger Sub”),
and Jerrick Ventures, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Jerrick”), entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Jerrick, with
Jerrick surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GTPH (the “Merger”). GTPH acquired, pursuant to the Merger, all of
the outstanding capital stock of Jerrick in exchange for issuing Jerrick’s shareholders (the “Jerrick Shareholders”),
pro-rata, a total of 475,000 shares of GTPH’s common stock. In connection therewith, GTPH acquired 33,415 shares of Jerrick’s
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Jerrick Series A Preferred”) and 8,064 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock (the “Jerrick Series B Preferred”).
In connection with the Merger, on the Closing
Date, GTPH and Kent Campbell entered into a Spin-Off Agreement (the “Spin-Off Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Campbell
purchased from GTPH (i) all of GTPH’s interest in Ashland Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and (ii) all
of GTPH’s interest in Lil Marc, Inc., a Utah corporation, in exchange for the cancellation of 39,091 shares of GTPH’s
Common Stock held by Mr. Campbell. In addition, Mr. Campbell assumed all debts, obligations and liabilities of GTPH, including
any existing prior to the Merger, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreement.
Upon closing of the Merger on February
5, 2016, the Company changed its business plan to that of Jerrick.
Effective February 28, 2016, GTPH entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”) with Jerrick, pursuant to which GTPH became
the parent company of Jerrick Ventures, LLC, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Jerrick (the “Statutory Merger”)
and GTPH changed its name to Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. to better reflect its new business strategy.
On September 11, 2019, the Company acquired
100% of the membership interests of Seller’s Choice, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Seller’s Choice”).
Seller’s Choice is digital e-commerce agency based in New Jersey (see Note 4).
On September 9, 2020, the Company filed
a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to change our name to “Creatd, Inc.”,
which became effective on September 10, 2020.

Note 2 – Significant and Critical
Accounting Policies and Practices
Management of the Company is responsible
for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application.
Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial
condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the
need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical
accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) and following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for
interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required
by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s
annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any other interim period or for any other future
year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from audited financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Critical accounting estimates are estimates
for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly
uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or
operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements
were:
(i)
Assumption as a going concern : Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
(ii)
Fair value of long-lived assets: Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
(iii)
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets : Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses and (b) general economic conditions.
10
(iv)
Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments : Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk-free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments.
(v)
Operating lease estimates and assumptions: These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at the commencement date. We estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on an evaluation of our credit ratings and the prevailing market rates for collateralized debt in a similar economic environment with similar payment terms and maturity dates commensurate with the terms of the lease.
These significant accounting estimates
or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions,
and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole
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.
Management regularly evaluates the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances,
historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair
value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”)
to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements
and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair
value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
Financial assets or liabilities are considered
Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and
at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the
categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amount of the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, notes payable, convertible debt, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Transactions involving related parties
cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings
may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions
were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be
substantiated.
The assets or liabilities’ fair value
measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides a summary of the relevant assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company valued the initial value of
debt securities, which are investments in convertible notes receivable, by assessing the separate values of the debt and equity
components for similar instruments convertible into private company equity (Level 3). The investment was initially measured at
cost, which was determined to approximate fair value due to the lack of marketability of the conversion shares underlying these
convertible instruments and the expected recoverability of the note principal. The key assumption affecting the level 3 fair values
would be collectability of the notes. The Company monitors for impairment indicators at each balance sheet date.
Marketable debt securities as of September

(loss) on debt securities available for sale that has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as a separate component
of Stockholder’s Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $0, respectively.
Our marketable equity securities are publicly
traded stocks measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and classified as Level 1 within
the fair value hierarchy. Marketable equity securities as of September 30, 2020 are $0.
The change in net realized appreciation
on equity trading securities that has been included in other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was
$7,453 and $0, respectively.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated
with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally
insured limits.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at
cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over
the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Estimated Useful Life
(Years)
Computer equipment and software
3
Furniture and fixtures
5
Upon sale or retirement of property and
equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the
consolidated statements of operations.
13
Long-lived Assets Including Goodwill
and Other Acquired Intangibles Assets
We evaluate
the recoverability of property and equipment and acquired finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events
or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest
level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability
of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected
to generate from the use and eventual disposition. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment
and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. We have not recorded any
significant impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We routinely review the remaining estimated
useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If we change the estimated useful life assumption for
any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2020 the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. The Company performed the qualitative assessment as permitted
by ASC 350-20 and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit was more likely than not equal or greater than the carrying
value, including Goodwill. Based on completion of this annual impairment test, no impairment was indicated.
Investments
The Company accounts for its investments
in debt securities, in accordance with sub-topic 320-10 of the FASB ASC (“Sub-topic 320-10”).
Pursuant to Paragraph 320-10-35-1, investments
in debt securities that are classified as available for sale shall be measured subsequently at fair value in the consolidated balance
sheets at each balance sheet date. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale debt securities (including those
classified as current assets) shall be excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized except
an available-for-sale debt security that is designated as being hedged in a fair value hedge, from which all or a portion of the
unrealized holding gain and loss of shall be recognized in earnings during the period of the hedge, pursuant to paragraphs 815-25-35-1
through 815-25-35-4. The available-for-sale debt securities are measured at amortized cost if there is no readily determinable
fair value.
The Company follows Paragraphs 326-30-35-1
through 326-30-35-4 to assess whether an investment is impaired in each reporting period. An investment in debt security is impaired
if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to the
following: a. asset quality, or business prospects of the investee; b. a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic,
or technological environment of the investee; c. a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographic
area or the industry in which the investee operates. If the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost at the
balance sheet date of the reporting period for which impairment is assessed, the impairment is either temporary or other than temporary.
The following table sets forth a summary
of the changes in marketable securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

We invest
in debt and equity securities. Our investments in debt securities are subject to interest rate risk. To minimize the exposure due
to an adverse shift in interest rates, we invest in securities with maturities of two years or less and maintain a weighted
average maturity of one year or less. As of September 30, 2020, all of our investments had maturities between one and two
years.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of
the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events
occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of
judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims
that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims
as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates
that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated
liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that
a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then
the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be
disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are
generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at our Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. Results
of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the periods. The effect of exchange rate
fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated
other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which are included in SG&A, have not been
significant in any period presented.
Revenue Recognition
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized
when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we
expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through
the following steps:
● identification of the contract,
or contracts, with a customer;
● identification of the performance
obligations in the contract;
15
● determination of the transaction
price;
● allocation of the transaction
price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
● recognition of revenue
when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenue disaggregated by revenue source
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 consists of the following:

During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $100,000 in revenue from a related party for branded content services. The customer is
a significant investee into which the Company has made deposits towards the investment of $175,000.
Branded Content
Branded content represents the revenue
recognized from the Company’s obligation to create and publish branded articles for clients on the Vocal platform and promote
said stories, tracking engagement for the client. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully publishes
the articles on its platform and meets any required promotional milestones as per the contract. The revenue is recognized over
time as the services are performed.
Below are the significant components of
a typical agreement pertaining to branded content revenue:
● The Company collects fixed fees ranging from $5,000 to $75,000.
● The articles are created
and published within three months of the signed agreement, or as previously negotiated with the client.
● The articles are promoted
per the contract and engagement reports are provided to the client.
● The client pays 50% at
signing and 50% upon completion.
● Most contracts include
provisions for clients to acquire content rights at the end of the campaign for a flat fee.
16
Affiliate Sales
Affiliate sales represents the commission
the Company receives when a purchase is made through affiliate links placed within content hosted on the Vocal platform. Affiliate
revenue is earned on a “click through” basis, upon referring visitors, via said links, to an affiliate’s site
and having them complete a specific outcome, most commonly a product purchase. The Company uses multiple affiliate platforms, such
as Skimlinks, Amazon, and Tune, to form and maintain thousands of vendor relationships. Each vendor establishes their own commission
percentage, which typically range from 2-20%. The revenue is recognized upon receipt as reliable estimates could not be made.
Subscription
Vocal+ is a premium subscription offering for Vocal creators.
In addition to joining for free, Vocal creators now have the option to sign up for a Vocal+ membership for either $9.99 monthly
or $99 annually. Vocal+ subscribers receive access to value-added features such as increased rate of cost per mille (thousand)
(“CPM”) monetization, a decreased minimum withdrawal threshold, a discount on platform processing fees, member badges
for their profiles, access to exclusive Vocal+ Challenges, and early access to new Vocal features. Subscription revenues stem from
both monthly and annual subscriptions, the latter of which is amortized over a twelve-month period. Any customer payments received
are recognized over the subscription period, with any payments received in advance being deferred until they are earned.
Managed Services
The Company
provides Studio/Agency Service offerings to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) product and service brands
which encompasses a full range of digital marketing and e-commerce solutions. The Company’s services include the setup and
ongoing management of clients’ websites, Amazon and Shopify storefronts and listings, social media pages, search engine marketing,
and other various tools and sales channels utilized by e-commerce sellers for sales and growth optimization. Contracts are broken
into three categories Partners, Monthly Services, and Projects. Contract amounts for Partner and Monthly Services clients range
from approximately $500-$7,500 per month while Project amounts vary depending on the scope of work. Partner and Monthly clients
are billed monthly for the work completed within that month. Partner Clients may or may not have an additional billing component
referred to as Sales Performance Fee, which is a fee based upon a previously agreed upon percentage point of the client’s
total sales for the month. Some Partners may also have projects within their contracts that get billed and recognized as agreed
upon project milestones are achieved.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings and
payments from clients in advance of revenue recognition. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had deferred
revenue of $37,421 and $50,691, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried when the Company
has performed the work in accordance with managed services, project, partner, consulting and branded content agreements. For example,
we bill a managed service client monthly when we have updated their Amazon store, modified SEO or completed the other services
listed in the agreement. For projects and branded content, we will bill the client and record the receivable once milestones are
reached that are set in the agreement. We make estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for unbilled receivables
based upon our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit
quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recorded $52,849 as a reserve for doubtful accounts. As of September
30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $82,349 and $33,503, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense
for all equity–based payments granted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation
– Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based
compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over
the requisite service period of the award.
17
Restricted stock awards are granted at
the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite
service periods, typically over a five-year period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair value of a stock award is
equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock on the grant date.
The fair value of an option award is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires
the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected
stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock
and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is benchmarked against similar companies in a similar industry over the expected
option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free
rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends
on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture
rate is estimated based on management’s best estimate.
Determining
the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the
subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards
represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially
different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only
for those shares expected to vest. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, the
equity–based compensation could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.
Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company had the following common stock
equivalents at September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
The Company invests in equity and debt
securities. The Company’s investments in debt securities are classified at the date of purchase as available-for-sale securities.
Debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, reflected as an accumulated
other comprehensive income component of stockholder’s equity until such gains or losses are realized. In accordance with
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Equity securities are now reported at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses, net of the related tax effect, reflected as a gain or loss on the statement of operations.
18
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”, which eliminates the exception that
prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory
until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December
15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-16
did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the requirement to calculate
the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge.
Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair
value (i.e., measure the charge based on the current Step 1). The updated guidance, which became effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019, did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820) . The updated guidance improves
the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting
for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contrac t. This guidance requires companies
to apply the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service
contract to determine whether to capitalize certain implementation costs or expense them as incurred. The adoption of ASU 2018-15
did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting
Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative
guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting
for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model
and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after
December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact
of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,
Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends
the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and
also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after
December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the condensed consolidated
financial statements, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $65.3 million, a net loss of $20.7 million
and net cash used in operating activities of $5.0 million for the reporting period then ended. The Company is in default on debentures
as of the date of this filing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared
the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020,
declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions
on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The COVID-19
coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and
financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long
these conditions will last and what the complete financial impact will be to the Company, capital raising efforts and our operations
may be negatively affected.
The Company is attempting to further implement
its business plan and generate sufficient revenues; however, its cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations.
While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues
and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its debt or equity securities, there can
be no assurance that it will be able to do so on reasonable terms, or at all. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to
raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.
The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
Note 4 – Acquisition of Seller’s
Choice
On September 11, 2019, the Company entered
into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Seller’s Choice Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company
and Home Revolution, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Seller’s Choice
Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Seller’s Choice Purchase Agreement (the “Seller’s Choice Closing”), the Company acquired 100% of the membership
interests of Seller’s Choice. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Seller’s Choice Purchase Agreement,
Seller’s Choice became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Seller’s Choice Acquisition”).
At the Seller’s Choice Closing, the
aggregate consideration (the “Consideration”) paid to the Seller was as follows: (i) $340,000, in cash; (ii) 111,111
shares of the Company’s common stock; and (iii) a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $660,000 (the “Seller’s
Choice Note”). In connection with the Seller’s Choice Note, the Company, Seller, and Seller’s Choice entered
into a Security Agreement whereby the Seller’s Choice Note is secured by the assets of Seller’s Choice.
Following the closing of the transaction,
Seller’s Choice’s financial statements as of the Closing were consolidated with the Condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company. These amounts are provisional and may be adjusted during the measurement period.
Following the closing of the merger transaction

Choice Purchase Agreement with Home Revolution LLC (see Note 4). As a part of the consideration provided pursuant to the Seller’s
Choice Acquisition, the Company issued the Seller’s Choice Note to the Seller in the principal amount of $660,000. The Seller’s

Date”) at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts become due. Upon maturity the
Company utilized an automatic extension up to 6 months. This resulted in a 5% increase in the interest rate every month the Seller’s
Choice Note is outstanding. As of September 30, 2020 the company is in default on the Seller’s Choice note.

Effective September 15, 2020, the Company
consummated an underwritten public offering (the “September 2020 Equity Raise”) of 1,725,000 units of securities (the
“Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock, and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of
common stock (the “Warrants”). The September 2020 Equity Raise was conducted pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement,
dated September 10, 2020, by and between the Company and The Benchmark Company, LLC, acting as the representative (the “Representative”)
of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”). In connection with the September 2020 Equity
Raise, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 258,750 shares of common stock and/or 258,750 Warrants
to purchase common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.
The public offering price per Unit was
$4.50. The shares of common stock and Warrants were issued separately and were immediately separable upon issuance. Each Warrant
represents the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, expiring 5 years from the date
of issuance.
The gross proceeds to the Company from
the September 2020 Equity Raise, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses,

obligations into 3,413,667 shares of Common Stock and 901,872 warrants. See Notes 7, 8, and 9. The warrants have an exercise price
equal to $4.50 per share, expiring five years from the date of issuance. A down-round event was triggered in connection with the
September 2020 Equity Raise, resulting in a contingent BCF that had a value of $5,450,286. This was recorded as a debt discount
on the notes that were triggered. As these notes were fully converted in the September 2020 Equity Raise, the discount was expensed
to accretion of debt discount and issuance cost on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Note
9 – Commitments and Contingencies
The
CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”).
Corporate taxpayers may carry back net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was
not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing
corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally
deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act)
for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire
amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017
Tax Act.
In
addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement
property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result
in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
On
March 26, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the Company received 2 separate loans pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”)
under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act. The company is in the process of returning the funds received on April 30, 2020.
Litigation
On June 25, 2020, Home Revolution, LLC
(“Home Revolution”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Court”),
entitled Home Revolution, LLC, et al v. Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. et al, Case No. 2:20-cv-07775-JMV-MF (the “Action”).
The complaint for the lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company breached the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement,
as modified, and ancillary transaction documents in connection with the acquisition of Seller’s Choice, LLC, from Home Revolution
in September 2019. The complaint additionally alleges violation of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, violations of the Exchange
Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, fraud, equitable accounting, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. In
addition to the existing claim for damages contained in the Complaint, on July 29, 2020, Home Revolution moved, by order to show
cause, for preliminary injunctive relief. On August 13, 2020, after briefing and oral argument, the Court denied Home Revolution’s
request for a preliminary injunction.
The Company then moved to dismiss the Action
on August 14, 2020 on a number of grounds, the most significant of which is that this is a simple (alleged) breach of Promissory
Note case. The Company was current on all payments under the Note, and because both parties are New Jersey entities a mere
breach of contract and/or collection-based case is not appropriately venued in federal court. Upon receipt of the Motion
to Dismiss, Home Revolution submitted an Amended Complaint, presumably in an effort to cure the problems with the Complaint which
we identified in the Motion to Dismiss. Home Revolution has since then subsequently initiated a series of atypical procedures
and, as a result, has (without following the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) moved for both default and to submit yet another
newly Amended Complaint (the one precludes the other and vice versa ). The Company has an appearance scheduled
for November 19, 2020, and expects no major events to occur for the next 12 months (at least) in any event.
In the event this Action is not summarily
dismissed, the Company intends to vigorously challenge it. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate potential damage exposure,
if any, related to the litigation.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This
Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Creatd, Inc., formerly Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), from time
to time with the SEC (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information
that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and
assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,”
or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject
to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry,
and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,
or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed,
estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities
laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements
to actual results.
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments
and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments
and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.
Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s
judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative
would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
We
intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain
key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting
principles affect our financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying
notes for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed
with the SEC on March 30, 2020.
Overview
Our mission is to empower creators,
brands, and entrepreneurs through technology and partnership.
Creatd’s
resources and Vocal’s proprietary technology were built to simultaneously amplify creators’ discoverability and potential
earnings, help direct-to-consumer brands achieve conversions and reach their target audiences, and generate value for all of Creatd’s
stakeholders. Further, the Vocal platform’s unique underlying architecture provides for scalable and sustainable revenues,
and lends itself well to future acquisitions and white-label opportunities for Creatd because of the ease with which other platforms
can be integrated into our ecosystem.
The Vocal Platform
Vocal, Creatd’s
flagship product, is a robust, proprietary technology platform that provides best-in-class tools, safe and curated communities,
and monetization opportunities that enable creators to find a receptive audience and get rewarded. Through Vocal, content creators
can get discovered and monetize their content by connecting to their ideal audiences, and partnering with the brands that want
to reach those audiences.
Since its initial launch in 2016, Vocal
has grown to be one of the fastest growing communities for content creators of all kinds, including writers, musicians, podcasters,
photographers, and more; as of November 2020, Vocal has reached over 810,000 freemium creators and 7,500 Vocal+ paid subscribers
across its 34 owned and operated niche communities.
46
Vocal Platform
Highlights:
● Best-in-class content creation editor:
Vocal’s storytelling tools enable creators to produce beautiful and engaging stories in a simple, user-friendly format, and
incorporate rich-media content of all kinds including streaming content, photos, videos, podcasts, product links, written text,
and more.
● Multiple monetization features: Creators
can earn money i) every time their story is read, ii) by competing in Challenges, iii) by receiving ‘tips’, and iv)
by collaborating on branded content campaigns through the company’s in-house agency.
● Technology-led and human-assisted moderation
system ensures that Vocal’s communities remain safe and curated for all stakeholders, vital protections in a digital environment
increasingly characterized by misinformation, toxicity, and hate speech.
How Creatd Generates Revenues
Platform Subscriptions
Vocal+ creators subscribe at a cost of $9.99 per month or $99
per year. Further, as the number of paid Vocal+ subscribers continue to increase, subscriber acquisition cost (SAC) is expected
to continue to decline. As of the end of third quarter 2020, acquisition costs are less than $180 per subscriber, compared to $350
per subscriber at the end of second quarter 2020 and over $1,000 per subscriber only one year ago at the end of third quarter 2019.
Marketing Partnerships
Creatd’s
internal content studio, Vocal for Brands, specializes on producing branded marketing campaigns that leverage the power of the
Vocal platform.
Vocal for Brands
pairs leading brands with authentic Vocal creators to produce story campaigns that are non-interruptive, engaging, and direct-response
driven. Value per campaign ranges from $50K - $150K, depending on duration and client objectives.
Managed Services
Seller’s
Choice is our in-house marketing agency for DTC (direct-to-consumer) and e-commerce clients. Acquired by Creatd in September 2019
Seller’s Choice provides direct-to-consumer brands with design, development, strategy, and sales optimization services. Its
status as an Amazon Solution Provider and its weighty operational structure made it an ideal candidate for acquisition in late
2019. Creatd’s business model is built to absorb distressed operational infrastructures, integrate the few best components,
and shed the rest of the non-essential costs. With operations optimized, the company represents a strong driver of growth for Creatd’s
revenue model.
Acquisition
Strategy
Creatd’s
hybrid finance and design culture is key to its acquisition strategy. Acquisition targets are companies that meet a set of opportunistic
or financial standards or that are part of specific digital environments that are accretive and can seamlessly integrate into Creatd’s
existing revenue lines. Creatd will continue to make strategic acquisitions such as Seller’s Choice. Criteria for acquisitions
include companies with:
● Accretive revenues within 18 months
● Flexible cap structure
● Creatd (Nasdaq: CRTD) equity as currency
● Integratable and malleable technology
● Transparent and light operational expenses
Creatd Partners
Creatd
Partners invests in e arly-stage and established companies, with a primary focus on DTC brands, digital platforms and technologies
that support the consumer ecosystem. Investment size and partnership structure is flexible, typically comprising a combination
of monetary investment and non-monetary contributions; each investment is personalized to ensure that every Partner is provided
with the right resources to succeed. The company has the option to either invest in directly or introduce the company to its
network which can provide outside financing.
Beyond providing capital,
Creatd Partners supports its founders and management teams with marketing, digital, strategy, and operational expertise; the Creatd
team leverages its proprietary technology, audience targeting expertise, and other resources to help their portfolio companies
identify avenues of potential growth for the near and long term. Vocal’s technology, Vocal for Brands, and Seller’s
Choice play a pivotal role in the success of Creatd Partners’ investments.
At the Company’s
2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 8, 2020, the Company received approval to change its name to Creatd, Inc., which
became effective on September 10, 2020 in connection with the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

At September 30, 2020, we had a working
capital of $457,007 as compared to a working capital deficit of $10,850,767 at December 31, 2019, an increase in working capital
of $11,307,774. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in cash as a result of the completion of the September 2020
Equity Raise, an increase in marketable securities, a decrease in demand loans, convertible notes, and related party debentures.
This was offset by an increase in promissory notes.
Net
Cash
Net cash used in operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $5,032,488 and $4,707,807, respectively. The net loss for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $20,703,631 and $5,403,866, respectively. This change is primarily attributable to
the net loss for the current period offset by share-based payments in the amount of $6,577,558 to employees and consultants for
services rendered, the accretion of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $6,697,778 due to the incentives given with debentures,
and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $623,774 in addition to a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,586,214.
These increases were offset by a change in accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $396,684 and $391,292, respectively. This change is attributable to the cash
used to purchase marketable securities, property and equipment, and deposits for investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $8,337,715 and $5,266,353. During the nine months ended September 30,
2020, the Company was predominantly financed by net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $6,662,015 and loans and
notes of $4,943,893 to fund operations, the proceeds of which were partially offset by the repayment of notes and loans and purchase
of treasury units of $3,268,193. Similarly, the Company’s financing activity for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2019 generated $649,829 from the issuance of common stock and $5,499,525 from loans and notes, the proceeds of which were partial
offset from repayment of notes and debt and the purchase of treasury units of $883,001.

Revenue
Revenue was $424,814 for the three months ended
September 30, 2020, as compared to $91,386 for the comparable three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $333,428. The
increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the steady growth of Vocal+ paid subscribers, the growth of Vocal for Brands and
increase in average contract price, and the integration of Managed Services following the acquisition of Seller’s Choice
in late third-quarter 2019.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 were $7,448,678 as compared to $1,747,909 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of $5,700,769
in operating expenses is mainly related to stock-based payments to consultants and employees, and a series of one-time expenses
related to the Nasdaq uplisting and associated equity offering, as well as debt conversions.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 was $7,023,864 as compared to $1,656,523 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Going forward the company
expects operating expenses to decrease materially, as increased operating expenses in the third-quarter primarily reflect non-recurring
charges, including approximately $1,200,000 of expenses related to the Nasdaq uplisting and related financing activities, and $3,6000,000
due to performance-based stock options granted to management that was required to be expensed entirely during the quarter, and
additionally offset by a measured increase in support staff focused on contributing to revenue growth.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 was $437,657 as compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Other income for the three months
ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of an R&D tax credit received from the Australian government for Research and Development
to the Vocal platform by our web development partners, Thinkmill.
Other expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 was $6,551,779 as compared to $277,488 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in third
quarter 2020 other expenses was predominantly due to a $6,259,530 increase in non-recurring, non-cash charges for accretion of
debt discount and issuance costs as well as a $348,211 increase in interest expense.
Net Loss
Comprehensive loss for the three months
ended September 30, 2020, was $13,569,908,, or loss per share of $3.20, as compared to a comprehensive loss of $1,934,011, or loss
per share of $0.65, for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Revenue
Revenue was $1,040,496 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $132,901 for the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $907,595.
The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the launch and steady growth of Vocal+ paid subscribers, the increase in average
contract price for Vocal for Brands campaigns, and the integration of Seller’s Choice into Creatd following the Company’s
successful acquisition in late third quarter 2019.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 were $13,425,561 as compared to $4,896,539 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of $8,529,022
in operating expenses is mainly related to stock-based payments to consultants and employees. In addition, the acquisition of Seller’s
Choice and subsequent integration into Creatd’s infrastructure, as well as the implementation of the Company’s future
business plans, including its Nasdaq uplisting and related financing, contributed to this increase.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 was $12,385,065 as compared to $4,763,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the
loss from operations primarily reflects one-time expenses related to the Nasdaq uplisting and the equity offering and debt conversions,
as well as $1,400,000 of non-cash charges related to employee option exchange for stock during second quarter 2020 and $3,600,000
in performance-based stock options granted to management during the third quarter.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 was $515,442 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of $437,657 from an R&D tax credit received from the Australian government for Research
and Development to the Vocal platform by our web development partners, Thinkmill, and $77,785 in sales tax rebates from the Australian
government for the same activity.
Other expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 was $8,318,566 as compared to $640,228 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other expenses

notes, accretion of debt discount and issuance cost of $6,697,778 due to the incentives given with debentures, and loss on
extinguishment of liabilities of $623,774 for the incentives given to amend or convert debt. During the nine months ended

accretion of debt discount and issuance cost of $228,017 due to the incentives given with debentures, loss on extinguishment

Inflation did not have a material impact
on the Company’s operations for the applicable period. Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands,
or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of September 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the nine months
ending September 30, 2020, we were not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. However, if we complete an acquisition, we will be required
to make estimates and assumptions typical of other companies. For example, we will be required to make critical accounting estimates
related to valuation and accounting for business combinations. The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were
highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period
to period. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the
future. Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors
that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.
50
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The
Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as
defined in Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item
4. Controls and Procedures Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
The
term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers
to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that
it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act
is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition,
the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact there are resource constraints and management is required
to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation
of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Form
10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act). Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2020.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No
change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) has
occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
51
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
From
time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.
However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time
to time that may harm our business.
On
June 25, 2020, Home Revolution, LLC (“Home Revolution”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey (the “Court”), entitled Home Revolution, LLC, et al v. Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. et al,
Case No. 2:20-cv-07775-JMV-MF (the “Action”). The complaint for the lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the
Company breached the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, as modified, and ancillary transaction documents in connection with
the acquisition of Seller’s Choice, LLC, from Home Revolution in September 2019. The complaint additionally alleges violation
of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, violations of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, fraud, equitable accounting,
breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment.
The
Company continues to believe that the Action lacks merit. In the event this Action is not summarily dismissed, the Company intends
to vigorously challenge it. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate potential damage exposure, if any, related to the
litigation.
In
addition to the existing claim for damages contained in the Complaint, on July 29, 2020, Home Revolution moved, by order to show
cause, for preliminary injunctive relief. On August 13, 2020, the Court denied Home Revolution’s request for a preliminary
injunction.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
Our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including those set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,
the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results.
There
have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2019, except as noted below.
The
Nasdaq Capital Market imposes listing standards on our common stock that we may not be able to fulfill, thereby leading to a possible
delisting of our common stock and/or our warrants.
As
a listed Nasdaq Capital Market company, we are subject to rules covering, among other things, certain major corporate transactions,
the composition of our Board of Directors and committees thereof, minimum bid price of our common stock and minimum stockholders
equity. The failure to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market requirements may result in the delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq
Capital Market. If our common stock or warrants are delisted and we are not able to list such common stock or warrants on another
national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market; However, if this were to
occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations
for our common stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, in the event of such delisting, we
could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.
Unfavorable
global economic, business, or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our
results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets,
including conditions that are outside of our control, including the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating
to the current COVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The global financial crisis in connection with the COVID-19
pandemic has caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn
could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our Vocal platform and our ability to raise
additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate
all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

in this Item 2 were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
