NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization
 
RumbleOn, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in October 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Smart Server, Inc. ("Smart Server"). On February 13, 2017, the Company changed its name from Smart Server, Inc. to RumbleOn, Inc.
 
Description of Business
 
In July 2016, Berrard Holdings Limited Partnership ("Berrard Holdings") acquired 99.5% of the common stock of the Company from the principal stockholder. Shortly after the Berrard Holdings common stock purchase, the Company began exploring the development of a capital light e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned vehicles in one online location and in April 2017, the Company launched its platform. The Company's goal is to transform the way pre-owned vehicles are bought and sold by providing users with the most efficient, timely and transparent transaction experience. The Company's initial emphasis has been motorcycles and other powersports, however, the Company's platform is able to accommodate any VIN-specific vehicle including motorcycles, ATVs, boats, RVs, cars and trucks.
 
On October 26, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") with the Company's newly-formed acquisition subsidiary RMBL Tennessee, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Merger Sub"), Wholesale Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Holdings"), Wholesale, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company ("Wholesale"), Steven Brewster and Janelle Brewster (each a "Stockholder", and together the "Stockholders"), Steven Brewster, a Tennessee resident, as the representative of each Stockholder (the "Representative"), and Marshall Chesrown and Steven R. Berrard, providing for the merger of Holdings with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the Wholesale Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Wholesale Transaction").  On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Merger Agreement making a technical correction to the definition of "Parent Consideration Shares" contained in the Merger Agreement.
 
Also, on October 26, 2018, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Steven Brewster and Justin Becker (together the "Express Sellers"), and Steven Brewster as representative of the Express Sellers, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the membership interests (the "Express Transaction," and together with the Wholesale Transaction, the "Transactions") in Wholesale Express, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company . The Transactions were both completed on October 30, 2018. As consideration for the Wholesale Transaction, the Company (i) paid cash consideration of $12,353,941, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) issued to the Wholesale Stockholders 1,317,329 shares (the "Stock Consideration") of the Company's Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the "Series B Preferred"). As consideration for the Express Transaction, the Company paid cash consideration of $4,000,000, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. Wholesale Inc. is one of the largest independent distributors of pre-owned vehicles in the United States and Wholesale Express, LLC is a related logistics company.
 
On February 3, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the equity interests of Autosport USA, Inc. ("Autosport"), an independent pre-owned vehicle distributor, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 1, 2019 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among RMBL Express, LLC (the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Company, Scott Bennie (the "Seller") and Autosport. Aggregate consideration for the Acquisition consisted of (i) a closing cash payment of $600,000, plus (ii) a fifteen-month $500,000 promissory note (the "Promissory Note") in favor of the Seller, plus (iii) a three-year $1,536,000 convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note") in favor of the Seller, plus (iv) contingent earn-out payments payable in the form of cash and/or the Company's Class B Common Stock (the "Earn-Out Shares") for up to an additional $787,500 if Autosport achieves certain performance thresholds. In connection with the Acquisition, the Buyer also paid outstanding debt of Autosport of $235,000 and assumed additional debt of $257,933 pursuant to a promissory note payable to Seller (the "Second Convertible Note").
 
Serving both consumers and dealers, through its online marketplace platform, the Company makes cash offers for the purchase of pre-owned vehicles. In addition, the Company offers a large inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. The Company's operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with its regional partners, including dealers and auctions. The Company utilizes regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. These regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs.

Our business model is driven by our proprietary technology platform. Our initial platform was acquired in February 2017, through our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NextGen Dealer Solutions, LLC ("NextGen"). Since that time, we have expanded the functionality of that platform through a significant number of high-quality technology development projects and initiatives. Included in these new technology development projects and initiatives were modules or significant upgrades to the existing platforms for: (i) Retail online auction; (ii) native IOS and Android apps; (iii) new architecture on website design and functionality; (iv) RumbleOn Marketplace; (v) redesigned cash offer tool; (vi) deal-jacket tracking tool; (vii) inventory tracking tool; (viii) CRM and multiple third-party integrations; (ix) new analytics and machine learning initiatives; and (x) IT monitoring infrastructure.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The information at December 31, 2018 in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this quarterly report was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019. The Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the information incorporated by reference into such report, is referred to in this quarterly report as the "2018 Annual Report." This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Certain accounting estimates involve significant judgments, assumptions and estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, which management considers to be critical accounting estimates. The judgments, assumptions and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management's experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ materially from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of the Company's assets and liabilities and the results of operations. 
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260-Earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation. Common share and dilutive common share equivalents include: (i) Class A common: (ii) Class B common; (iii) Class B participating preferred shares; (iv) restrictive stock units; and (v) warrants to acquire Class B common stock. 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue for our vehicle distribution segment is derived primarily from our online marketplace and auctions which include: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles to consumer and dealers; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; and (iv) subscription fees paid by dealers for access to the RumbleOn software solution.
 
Revenue from our vehicle logistics and transportation service segment is derived by providing automotive transportation services between dealerships and auctions throughout the United States.
 
We adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model that includes: (1) identify the contract; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Based on the manner in which we historically recognized revenue, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition, and we recognized no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption.

For vehicles sold at wholesale to dealers we satisfy our performance obligation for vehicles sales when the wholesale purchaser obtains control of the underlying vehicle, which is upon delivery when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control pass to the dealer. We recognize revenue at the amount we expect to receive for the used vehicle, which is the fixed price determined at the auction. The purchase price of the wholesale vehicle is typically due and collected within 30 days of delivery of the wholesale vehicle.
 
For vehicles sold to consumers the purchase price is set forth in the customer contracts at a stand-alone selling price which is agreed upon prior to delivery. We satisfy our performance obligation for used vehicle sales upon delivery when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control pass to the customer. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon purchase price stated in the contract, including any delivery charges, less an estimate for returns. Our return policy allows customers to initiate a return during the first three days after delivery. Estimates for returns are based on an analysis of historical experience, trends and sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. The amount of consideration received for used vehicle sales to consumers includes noncash consideration representing the value of trade-in vehicles, if applicable, as stated in the contract. Prior to the delivery of the vehicle, the payment is received, or financing has been arranged. Payments from customers that finance their purchases with third parties are typically due and collected within 30 days of delivery of the used vehicle. In future periods additional provisions may be necessary due to a variety of factors, including changing customer return patterns due to the maturation of the online vehicle buying market, macro- and micro-economic factors that could influence customer return behavior and future pricing environments. If these factors result in adjustments to sales returns, they could significantly impact our future operating results. Revenue exclude any sales taxes, title and registration fees, and other government fees that are collected from customers.
 
Vehicle finance fee revenue is recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the financing has been arranged. We may be charged back for a fee in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the commissions that we receive. Cancellations will fluctuate depending on the customer financing default or prepayment rates and shifts in customer behavior. To the extent that actual experience differs from historical trends, there could be adjustments to our finance contract cancellation reserves.
 
Commission revenue on vehicle service contracts is recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is estimated based on historical experience and recent trends. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the commissions that we receive. Cancellations will fluctuate depending on the customer financing default or prepayment rates, and shifts in customer behavior, including those related to changes in the coverage or term of the product. To the extent that actual experience differs from historical trends, there could be adjustments to our contract cancellation reserves.
 
Subscription fees for access to the RumbleOn software solution are paid monthly and revenue recognition commences when the installation of the software is complete, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable.
 
Vehicle logistics and transportation services revenue is generated primarily by entering into freight brokerage agreements with dealers, distributors, or private party individuals to transport vehicles from a point of origin to a designated destination. The transaction price is based on the consideration specified in the customer's contract. A performance obligation is created when the customer under a transportation contract submits a bill of lading for the transport of goods from origin to destination. These performance obligations are satisfied as the shipments move from origin to destination. The freight brokerage agreements are fulfilled by independent third-party transporters who are obligated to meet our performance obligations and standards. Performance obligations are short-term, with transit days less than one week. Generally, customers are billed either upon shipment of the vehicle or on a monthly basis, and remit payment according to approved payment terms, generally not to exceed 30 days. Revenue is recognized when all risks and rewards of transportation of the vehicle is transferred to the owner upon delivery and the contracted carrier has been paid for their services.
 
Purchase Accounting for Business Combinations
 
The Company accounts for acquisitions by allocating the fair value of the consideration transferred to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of the acquisition and any remaining difference is recorded as goodwill. Adjustments may be made to the preliminary purchase price allocation when facts and circumstances that existed on the date of the acquisition surface during the allocation period subsequent to the preliminary purchase price allocation, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value based on the facts and circumstances on the date of the acquisition and any subsequent changes in the fair value are recorded through earnings each reporting period.

Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired which is not allocable to separately identifiable intangible assets. Other identifiable intangible assets, such as domain names, are separately recognized if the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal right or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged.
 
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually, and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds fair value. We have the option to qualitatively or quantitatively assess goodwill for impairment and we evaluated our goodwill using a qualitative assessment process. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level.
 
We test our goodwill for impairment in December of each year. In 2018, we evaluated our goodwill using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. If the qualitative assessment determines it is more likely than not the fair value is less than the carrying amount, we would further evaluate for potential impairment. There was no impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2019.
 
Leases
 
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company first determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of that lease, if applicable, at inception. This standard requires the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for the Company's operating leases. For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected not to recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less and recognize lease payments for those short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and operating lease liabilities (net of current portion) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments under the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the Company's leases is generally not determinable and therefore the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date is utilized to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. Management determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease using the Company's estimated borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization, term and currency to align with the terms of the lease. The ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. An option to terminate is considered unless the Company is reasonably certain the option will not be exercised.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized will be measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets or asset groups exceeds the related fair values. The Company also performs a periodic assessment of the useful lives assigned to the long-lived assets.
 
Technology Development Costs
 
Technology development costs are accounted for pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Technology development costs include internally developed software and website applications that are used by the Company for its own internal use and to provide services to its customers, which include consumers, dealer partners and ancillary service providers. Under the terms of these customer arrangements the Company retains the revenue generating technology and hosts the applications on its servers and mobile applications. The customer does not have a contractual right to take possession of the software during the term of the arrangement and are not permitted to run the software itself or contract with another party unrelated to the entity to host the software. Technology development costs consist principally of (i) development activities including payroll and related expenses billed by a third-party contractor involved in application, content, production, maintenance, operation, and platform development for new and existing products and services, (ii) technology infrastructure expenses, and (iii) costs of Company employees devoted to the development and maintenance of software products. Technology and content costs for design, maintenance and post-implementation stages of internal-use software and general website development are expensed as incurred. For costs incurred to develop new website functionality as well as new software products and significant upgrades to existing internally used platforms or modules, capitalization begins during the application development stage and ends when the software is available for general use. Capitalized technology development is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 7 years. The Company will perform periodic assessment of the useful lives assigned to capitalized software applications. Additionally, the Company from time-to-time may abandon additional development activities relating to specific software projects or applications and charge accumulated costs to technology development expense in the period such determination is made.

Vehicle Inventory
 
Vehicle inventory is accounted for pursuant to ASC 330, Inventory and consists of the cost to acquire and recondition a pre-owned vehicle. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and includes parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to a specific vehicle. Pre-owned inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Pre-owned vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn times of similar vehicles, as well as independent market resources. Each reporting period, the Company recognizes any necessary adjustments to reflect pre-owned vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through cost of revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all cash accounts and all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months.
 
Restricted Cash
 
In connection with the execution of the Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the "Credit Facility") by and among the Company's subsidiary, RMBL Missouri, LLC ("RMBL MO"), Ally Bank ("Ally") and Ally Financial, Inc., dated February 16, 2018 the parties entered into a Credit Balance Agreement, and so long as the Company owes any debt to Ally or until the bank otherwise consents, the Company agrees to maintain a Credit Balance at Ally of 1) at least 10% of the amount of the Company's approved and available credit line under the Credit Facility and 2) no greater than 25% of the total principal amount owed to Ally for inventory financed under the Credit Facility.
 
In connection with the inventory financing contract (the "NextGear Facility"), entered into by the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary RMBL Tennessee, Inc., Wholesale, Inc. and NextGear Capital, Inc. ("NextGear"), dated October 30, 2018, Wholesale, Inc. and NextGear entered into a Reserve Agreement requiring Wholesale, Inc. to pay to NextGear $5.5 million (the "Reserve") to be collateral and security for Wholesale Inc.'s liability under the NextGear Facility as well as any amounts owed by Wholesale, Inc. to NextGear and its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, principals, trustees, partners, shareholders or other holders of any ownership interest, as the case may be, employees, representatives, attorneys and agents.  NextGear is not required to pay Wholesale Inc. interest on the Reserve balance.  Upon the satisfaction of all obligations and the termination by NextGear of the NextGear Facility, NextGear will return to Wholesale, Inc., upon its written request to NextGear no earlier than ten (10) business days from the date the obligations were indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full and the NextGear Facility and terminated by Lender.
 
Property and Equipment, Net
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and consists of capitalized technology development costs, furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Costs of significant additions, renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
 
Beneficial Conversion Feature
 
From time to time, the Company has issued convertible notes that have conversion prices that create an embedded beneficial conversion feature pursuant to the guidelines established by the ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of a convertible security is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain securities that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible security when issued and also records the estimated fair value of any conversion feature issued with those securities. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.
 
The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note's proceeds to the conversion feature, if applicable, and as a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method. The Company calculates the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in any convertible security using either a) the Black Scholes valuation model, or b) a discount cash flow analysis tested for sensitivity to key Level 3 inputs using Monte Carlo simulation.

Debt Issuance Costs
 
Debt issuance costs are accounted for pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
On June 30, 2017 the Company's shareholders approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") under which restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other equity awards may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Twelve percent (12%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time are reserved for issuance under the Plan. The Company estimates the fair value of awards granted under the Plan on the date of grant. The fair value of an RSU is based on the average of the high and low market prices of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over its vesting period; to date, substantially all the RSUs issued vest over a three-year period utilizing the following vesting schedule: (i) 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and (iii) 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date.
 
Recent Pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that the rights and obligations created by leases with a duration greater than 12 months be recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach for all leases entered into before the effective date. The Company has also elected the option, as permitted in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, whereby initial application of the new lease standard would occur at the adoption date and a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, would be recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. For comparability purposes, the Company will continue to comply with previous disclosure requirements in accordance with existing lease guidance for all periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company has elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which enabled the Company: (1) to carry forward the historical lease classification; (2) not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; and, (3) not to reassess the treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases. In addition, the Company has made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet. Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized a total operating lease liability in the amount of $3,118,038, representing the present value of the minimum rental payments remaining as of the adoption date and a right-of-use asset in the amount of $3,114,398.
 
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt this ASU for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Finance receivables originated in connection with the Company's vehicle sales are held for sale and are subsequently sold. The Company does not presently hold any finance receivables therefore does not expect adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION
 
On February 3, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the equity interests of Autosport USA, Inc. ("Autosport"), an independent pre-owned vehicle distributor, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 1, 2019 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among RMBL Express, LLC (the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Company, Scott Bennie (the "Seller") and Autosport. Aggregate consideration for the Acquisition consisted of (i) a closing cash payment of $600,000, plus (ii) a fifteen-month $500,000 promissory note (the "Promissory Note") in favor of the Seller, plus (iii) a three-year $1,536,000 convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note") in favor of the Seller, plus (iv) contingent earn-out payments payable in the form of cash and/or the Company's Class B Common Stock (the "Earn-Out Shares") for up to an additional $787,500 if Autosport achieves certain performance thresholds. In connection with the Acquisition, the Buyer also paid outstanding debt of Autosport of $235,000 and assumed debt of $257,933 pursuant to a promissory note payable to Seller (the "Second Convertible Note").

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available to management. This allocation is provisional, as the Company is required to recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of February 3, 2019 that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining additional information regarding asset valuation, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates.

Advances under the Credit Facility require that the Company maintain 10.0% of the advance amount as restricted cash. Advances under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate designated from time to time by the Lender and will be determined using a 365/360 simple interest method of calculation, unless expressly prohibited by law.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
On February 11, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,276,500 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price of $5.55 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,543,655. The completed offering included 166,500 shares of Class B Common Stock issued upon the underwriter's exercise in full of its over-allotment option. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of additional inventory held for sale, increased spending on marketing and advertising and capital expenditures necessary to grow the business.
 
On January 9, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, the adoption of the RumbleOn, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). On June 30, 2017, the Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purposes of the Plan are to attract, retain, reward and motivate talented, motivated and loyal employees and other service providers ("Eligible Individuals") by providing them with an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company and to incentivize them to expend maximum effort for the growth and success of the Company, so as to strengthen the mutuality of the interests between such persons and the stockholders of the Company. The Plan allows the Company to grant a variety of stock-based and cash-based awards to Eligible Individuals. Twelve percent (12%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time are reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of March 31, 2019, there were 2,000,000 shares available for issuance under the Plan. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has granted 1,846,011 restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Plan to certain officers and employees of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the RSUs, net of expected forfeitures was $8,819,338. The RSUs generally vest over a three-year period as follows: (i) 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and (iii) 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of the grant is amortized over the period from the grant date through the vesting dates. Forfeitures are based on the historic employee behavior under similar stock-based compensation plans. Compensation expense recognized for these grants for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 is $689,121. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $5,969,513 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, with an average remaining vesting period of 2.0 years. Compensation expense recognized for the three-months ended March 31, 2018 was $326,707.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
 
U.S. Tax Reform
 
On December 22, 2017, legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Act, was signed in to law. The Tax Act, among other changes, reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires taxpayers to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. On March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any foreign subsidiaries and the international aspects of the Tax Act are not applicable.
 
No current provision for Federal income taxes was required for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 due to the Company's operating losses. At December 31, 2018, the Company had operating loss carryforwards of $30,961,231, a portion of which begin to expire in 2033. We have provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of $8,112,626 for the periods ended December 31, 2018. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
 
NOTE 13 – LOSS PER SHARE
 
The Company computes basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighed-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, 1,846,011 of RSUs, and 327,094 of warrants to purchase shares of Class’ B Common Stock are considered common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as the effect is antidilutive.
 
NOTE 14 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had promissory notes of $370,556 and accrued interest of $15,705 due to an entity controlled by a director and to the director of the Company. The promissory notes were issued in connection with the completion of the 2016 Private Placement on March 31, 2017. Interest expense on the promissory notes for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $40,738 and $32,114, respectively, which included debt discount amortization of $32,971 and $26,175, respectively. The interest was charged to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in accrued interest under long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 8 "Notes Payable."
 
NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Legal Matters
 
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we were not aware of any threatened or pending material litigation.
 
NOTE 16 – CONCENTRATIONS
 
The Company is dependent on third-party providers of wholesale vehicle auctions. The Company is dependent on their ability to provide services on a timely basis and at favorable pricing terms. The loss of these principal providers or a significant reduction in service availability could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that its relationships with these providers are satisfactory.

NOTE 17 - SEGMENT REPORTING
 
Based on the way the Company manages its business, the Company has determined that it currently operates two reportable segments: 1) vehicle distribution and 2) vehicle logistics and transportation services. Our vehicle distribution segment consists of the distribution of powersports and automotive and is anchored on a proprietary supply chain and distribution software platform that is supported with our mobile-first web and application strategy. Our technology platform enables efficient preowned vehicle acquisition and distribution, which allows us to maximize inventory value and reduce inventory risk by penetrating the entire vehicle supply chain in a faster and more cost-efficient manner. Our agnostic acquisition approach creates instant liquidity for both consumers and dealers and provides increased control over our inventory, enabling us to adjust our inventory in response to unforeseen market dynamics while allowing us to make swift decisions to benefit sales volume and margins. Our vehicle logistics and transportation services were added on the Acquisition Date in connection with the Express Acquisition. Our vehicle logistics and transportation service segment provide nationwide automotive transportation services between dealerships and auctions. In the normal course of operations, our vehicle logistics and transportation services business provide transportation services to our vehicle distribution business, which is a related party. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates, which approximates fair value, and are reflected as revenue of the billing segment. Revenue and cost of revenue is eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-months ended March 31, 2019. Our Chief Executive Officer focuses on results in assessing operating performance and allocating resources for each of our segments. Furthermore, the Company offers similar products and services and uses similar processes to sell those products and services to similar classes of customers throughout the United States.

NOTE 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 
 
Notes Offering
 
On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with JMP Securities LLC (“JMP Securities”) to issue and sell $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Note Offering").  The Company paid JMP Securities a fee of 7% of the gross proceeds in the Note Offering. The net proceeds for the Note Offering were approximately $27.3 million.
 
The Notes were issued on May 14, 2019 pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify JMP Securities against certain liabilities. The Notes will bear interest at 6.75% per annum, payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2019. The Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the Indenture or if the Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the Indenture. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased pursuant to their terms.
 
The initial conversion rate of the Notes is 173.9130 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.75 per share, subject to adjustment). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
 
 
18
 
 
The Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to the May 6, 2022. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after May 6, 2022 if the last reported sale price of our Class B Common Stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the notes.
 
In connection with the Note Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with JMP Securities, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement, if the Company is eligible to do so and has not already done so, and, if the Company is not eligible for an automatic shelf registration statement, then in lieu of the foregoing the Company shall file a shelf registration statement for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Notes  pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to become or be declared effective under the Securities Act on the day that is 120 days after the May 9, 2019.
 
Class B Common Stock Offering
 
On May 9, 2019, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) an aggregate of 1,900,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock (the “Private Placement Shares”), at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. JMP Securities served as the placement agent for the Private Placement. The Company paid JMP Securities a fee of 7% of the gross proceeds in the Private Placement. Upon closing, the net proceeds for the Private Placement are expected to be approximately $8.8 million.
 
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to the resale of the Private Placement Shares purchased by the Investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement no later than 30 days after the Placement Date, and to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC no later than (i) 90 days after the Placement Date in the event the SEC does not review such registration statement, or, if earlier, five business days after a determination by the SEC that it will not review such registration statement, or (ii) 180 days after the Placement Date in the event the SEC does review such registration statement. In the event the Company does not file such registration statement or does not cause such registration statement to become effective by the applicable deadline or after such registration statement becomes effective it is suspended or ceases to be effective, then the Company will be required to make certain payments as liquidated damages to the Investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
The Private Placement Shares will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a sale not involving any public offering. The Private Placement and Note Offering are collectively referred to in this report as the Offerings.
 
Hercules Payoff
 
On May 14, 2019, the Company made a payment to Hercules of $11,134,696, representing the principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs and expenses outstanding under its Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Hercules dated April 30, 2018 (the "Hercules Indebtedness"). Upon the payment, all outstanding indebtedness and obligations of the Company owed to Hercules under the Loan Agreement were paid in full, and the Loan Agreement has been terminated. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to pay the Hercules Indebtedness.
 
The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offerings for other general corporate purposes, which may include increased spending on marketing and advertising, and expenditures necessary to grow the business.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this quarterly report.
 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
We are a technology driven, motor vehicle dealer and e-commerce platform provider disrupting the vehicle supply chain using innovative technology that aggregates, processes and distributes inventory in a faster and more cost-efficient manner.
 
We operate an infrastructure-light platform that facilitates the ability of all participants in the supply chain, including RumbleOn, other dealers and consumers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance-Transport pre-owned vehicles. Our goal is to transform the way VIN-specific pre-owned vehicles are bought and sold by providing users with the most comprehensive, efficient, timely and transparent transaction experiences. While our initial customer facing emphasis through most of 2018 was on motorcycles and other powersports, we continue to enhance our platform to accommodate nearly any VIN-specific vehicle including motorcycles, ATVs, boats, RVs, cars and trucks, and via our acquisition of Wholesale, Inc. in October 2018, we are making a concerted effort to grow our cars and light truck categories.
 
Acquisition of Wholesale and Wholesale Express
 
On October 26, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") with our newly-formed acquisition subsidiary RMBL Tennessee, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Merger Sub"), Wholesale Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Holdings"), Wholesale, Steven Brewster and Janelle Brewster (each a "Stockholder", and together the "Stockholders"), Steven Brewster, a Tennessee resident, as the representative of each Stockholder, and Marshall Chesrown and Steven R. Berrard, providing for the merger (the "Wholesale Merger") of Holdings with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the Wholesale Merger as our wholly-owned subsidiary. Also on October 26, 2018, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), with Steven Brewster and Justin Becker (together the "Express Sellers"), and Steven Brewster as representative of the Express Sellers, pursuant to which we acquired all of the membership interests (the "Express Acquisition") in Wholesale Express. On October 30, 2018 (the "Acquisition Date"), we completed the Wholesale Merger and Express Acquisition. Wholesale is one of the largest independent distributors of pre-owned vehicles in the United States and Wholesale Express is a related logistics company. The results of operations of Wholesale and Wholesale Express from the Acquisition Date to December 31, 2018 (the "Wholesale Acquisition Period") are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. In this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, no comparable information is discussed with respect to Wholesale and Wholesale Express for periods before the Closing Date.
 
Acquisition of Autosport
 
On February 3, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the equity interests of Autosport USA, Inc. ("Autosport"), an independent pre-owned vehicle distributor, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 1, 2019 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among RMBL Express, LLC (the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Company, Scott Bennie (the "Seller") and Autosport. Aggregate consideration for the Acquisition consisted of (i) a closing cash payment of $600,000, plus (ii) a fifteen-month $500,000 promissory note (the "Promissory Note") in favor of the Seller, plus (iii) a three-year $1,536,000 convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note") in favor of the Seller, plus (iv) contingent earn-out payments payable in the form of cash and/or the Company's Class B Common Stock (the "Earn-Out Shares") for up to an additional $787,500 if Autosport achieves certain performance thresholds. In connection with the Acquisition, the Buyer also paid outstanding debt of Autosport of $235,000 and assumed additional debt of $257,933 pursuant to a promissory note payable to Seller (the "Second Convertible Note"). The results of operations of Autosport from the Closing Date to March 31, 2019 (the "Autosport Acquisition Period" and collectively with the Wholesale Acquisition Period, the "Acquisition Period") are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-months ended March 31, 2019. In this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, no comparable information is discussed with respect to Autosport for periods before the Closing Date.

Business segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. Each operation is measured through detailed budgeting and monitoring of contributions to consolidated income by each business segment. Based on the way the Company manages its business, the Company has determined that it currently operates two reportable segments: 1) vehicle distribution and 2) vehicle logistics and transportation services. Our vehicle distribution segment consists of the distribution of powersports and automotive and is anchored on a proprietary supply chain and distribution software platform that is supported with our mobile-first web and application strategy. Our technology platform enables efficient preowned vehicle acquisition and distribution, which allows us to maximize inventory value and reduce inventory risk by penetrating the entire vehicle supply chain in a faster and more cost-efficient manner. Our agnostic acquisition approach creates instant liquidity for both consumers and dealers and provides increased control over our inventory, enabling us to adjust our inventory in response to unforeseen market dynamics while allowing us to make swift decisions to benefit sales volume and margins. Our vehicle logistics and transportation services were added on the Acquisition Date in connection with the Express Acquisition. Our vehicle logistics and transportation service segment provide nationwide automotive transportation services between dealerships and auctions. Our Chief Executive Officer focuses on results in assessing operating performance and allocating resources for each of our segments. Furthermore, the Company offers similar products and services and uses similar processes to sell those products and services to similar classes of customers throughout the United States.
 
For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, our vehicle distribution segment accounted for approximately 97.6% of our total revenue and approximately 88.5% of our total gross profit, and our vehicle logistics and transportation service segment accounted for approximately 2.4% of our total revenue and approximately 11.5% of our total gross profit.
 
Key Operation Metrics -Vehicle Distribution Segment (Powersports and Automotive)
 
We regularly review a number of metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress, and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics reflect what we believe will be the key drivers of our growth, including increasing brand awareness, maximizing the opportunity to source the purchase of low cost pre-owned vehicles from consumers and dealers while enhancing the selection of vehicles we make available to our customers. Our key operating metrics also demonstrate our ability to translate these drivers into sales and to monetize these retail sales through a variety of product offerings.

Vehicles Sold
 
We define vehicles sold as the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers and dealers in each period, net of returns under our various return policies. We view vehicles sold as a key measure of our growth for several reasons. First, vehicles sold is the primary driver of our revenue and, indirectly, gross profit, since vehicle sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including financing, vehicle service contracts and trade-ins. Second, growth in vehicles sold increases the base of available customers for referrals and repeat sales. Third, growth in vehicles sold is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our logistics, fulfillment, and customer service operations.
 
Vehicle Inventory Available on Website
 
We define vehicle inventory available on website as the number of pre-owned vehicles listed for sale on our website on the last day of a given reporting period, including vehicles of our dealer partners. Until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level, we view pre-owned vehicle inventory available as a key measure of our growth. Growth in available pre-owned vehicle inventory increases the selection of pre-owned vehicles available to consumers and dealers on a nationwide basis, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of pre-owned vehicles we sell.

Regional Partners
 
Our operations are designed to be scalable by working through an infrastructure and capital light model that is achievable by virtue of a synergistic relationship with regional partners. We utilize these regional partners to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. These regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. As regional partners are added throughout the U.S., the cost and time associated with distribution programs will be significantly reduced as the pickup and delivery of pre-owned vehicles will become more localized thus reducing shipping costs and the average days to sale for pre-owned vehicles.
 
Average Days to Sale
 
 
We define average days to sale as the average number of days between vehicle acquisition by us and delivery to a customer for all pre-owned vehicles sold in a period. However, this metric does not include any pre-owned vehicles that remain unsold at period end. We view average days to sale as a useful metric due to its impact on pre-owned vehicle average selling price. We anticipate that average days to sale will increase in future periods until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level and fully scale our acquisition and sales channel processes.

Sales Profit
 
Sales profit is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the selling price of the vehicle minus our cost to acquire the vehicle. We define total average sales profit per vehicle as the aggregate sales profit in a given period divided by the number of pre-owned vehicles sold in that period. Average sales margin is sales profit as a percentage of pre-owned vehicle sales. We believe sales profit is a key measure of our ability to utilize technology to determine the cost at which we can purchase vehicles relative to the price for which we can sell them and maintain our targeted margins. The cost of preparing a vehicle for sale, which includes inspection, reconditioning and transportation are excluded from this metric and are tracked independently. As our regional partner network is expanded and the volume of vehicles acquired grows, we expect to see a decline in these preparation costs per vehicle which in turn will provide more meaningful comparison data to other vehicle sellers.

Gross Profit
 
Gross profit is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the selling price of the vehicle and our cost of revenue associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. We define total average gross profit per vehicle as the aggregate gross profit in a given period divided by the number of pre-owned vehicles sold in that period. Average gross margin percent is gross profit as a percentage of pre-owned vehicle sales. Total average gross profit per vehicle is driven by sales of pre-owned vehicles to dealers and consumers which provides an opportunity to generate finance and vehicle service contract revenue from consumer sales. We believe average gross profit per vehicle is a key measure of our growth and long-term profitability.

Revenue
 
Revenue is derived from freight brokerage agreements with dealers, distributors, or private party individuals to transport vehicles from a point of origin to a designated destination. The transaction price is based on the consideration specified in the customer's contract. The freight brokerage agreements are fulfilled by independent third-party transporters who are obligated to meet our performance obligations and standards. Generally, customers are billed either upon shipment of the vehicle or on a monthly basis, and remit payment according to approved payment terms. Revenue is recognized when all risks and rewards of transportation of the vehicle is transferred to the owner upon delivery and the contracted carrier has been paid for their services. In the normal course of operations, Wholesale Express provides transportation services to Wholesale.
 
Vehicles Delivered
 
We define vehicles delivered as the number of vehicles delivered from a point of origin to a designated destination under freight brokerage agreements with dealers, distributors, or private party individuals. Vehicles delivered is the primary driver of revenue growth and in turn profitability in the vehicle logistics and transportation services segment.
 
Gross Profit
 
Vehicle delivery gross profit is generated on the difference between the price received from a customer under a freight brokerage agreement for the transport of a vehicle from a point of origin to a designated destination minus our cost to contract an independent third-party transporter to fulfill our obligation under the freight brokerage agreement with the customer. We define total average gross profit per vehicle as the aggregate gross profit in a given period divided by the number of pre-owned vehicles transported in that period.

COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue
 
Revenue for our vehicle distribution segment is derived primarily from our online marketplace and auctions which include: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles to consumer and dealers; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; and (iv) subscription fees paid by dealers for access to the RumbleOn software solution.
 
Revenue from our vehicle logistics and transportation service segment is derived by providing automotive transportation services between dealerships and auctions throughout the United States.
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, when all of the following conditions are met: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an agreement on an enforceable contract; (ii) the performance obligations are identified based on the goods or services to be transferred; (iii) the transaction price is determinable and collection is probable; and (iv) the product or service has been provided to the customer.
 
See Note 1 "Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition" for a further description of the Company's revenue recognition policies.
 
Pre-owned Vehicle Sales
 
We sell pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels. These multiple sales channels provide us the opportunity to maximize profitability through increased sales volume and lower average days to sale by selling to the channel where the opportunity is the greatest at any given time based on customer demand, market conditions or inventory availability. The number of pre-owned vehicles sold to any given channel may vary from period to period based on customer demand, market conditions and available inventory.
 
Pre-owned vehicle sales represent the aggregate sales of pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers through our website or at auctions. We generate gross profit on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of revenue associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. We expect pre-owned vehicle sales to increase as we begin to utilize a combination of brand building as well as direct response channels to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets while expanding our suite of product offerings to consumers who may wish to trade-in or to sell us their vehicle independent of a retail sale. Factors affecting pre-owned vehicle sales include the number of retail pre-owned vehicles sold and the average selling price of these vehicles. At this stage of our development, changes in both retail pre-owned vehicles sold and average selling price are the most significant driver for changes in revenue.
 
The number of pre-owned vehicles we sell depends on our volume of website traffic, volume of cash offers made, our inventory levels and selection, the effectiveness of our branding and marketing efforts, the quality of our customer sales experience, our volume of referrals and repeat customers, the competitiveness of our pricing, competition and general economic conditions. On a quarterly basis, the number of pre-owned vehicles we sell is also affected by seasonality, with demand for pre-owned vehicles reaching the high point in the first half of each year, commensurate with the timing of tax refunds, and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of pre-owned vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter.
 
Our average retail selling price depends on the mix of pre-owned vehicles we acquire and hold in inventory, retail market prices in our markets, our average days to sale, and our pricing strategy. We may choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost pre-owned vehicles, or to opportunistically raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances, which could temporarily lead to average selling prices increasing or decreasing.
 
The number of pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers at auctions is determined based on a number of factors including: (i) filling auction sales channel market demand opportunities to maximize sales and gross margin; (ii) a need to balance the Company's overall inventory mix and quantity levels against days to sales targets; and (iii) a need to liquidate those pre-owned vehicles that do not meet the Company's quality standards to be sold through Rumbleon.com.
 
 
25
 

Other Sales and Revenue
 
We generate other sales and revenue primarily through:
 
Vehicle Financing. Customers can pay for their pre-owned vehicle using cash or we offer a range of finance options through unrelated third parties such as banks or credit unions. These third-party providers generally pay us a fee either in a flat amount or in an amount equal to the difference between the interest rates charged to customers over the predetermined interest rates set by the financial institution. We may be charged back for fees in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated.
 
Vehicle Service Contracts. At the time of pre-owned vehicle sale, we provide customers, on behalf of unrelated third parties who are the primary obligors, a range of other related products and services, including EPP products and vehicle appearance protection. EPP products include extended service plans ("ESPs"), which are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection ("GAP"), which is intended to cover the unpaid balance on a vehicle loan in the event of a total loss of the vehicle or unrecovered theft. Vehicle appearance protection includes products aimed at maintaining vehicle appearance. We receive commissions from the sale of these product and service contracts and have no contractual liability to customers for claims under these products. The EPPs and vehicle appearance protection currently offered to consumers provides coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. Commission revenue will be recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations will be estimated based upon historical industry experience and recent trends and will be reflected as a reduction of Other sales revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and a component of Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive.
 
Subscription and other fees. We generate subscription fees for providing access to part of our software solutions, include access to certain data.
 
Vehicle Logistics and Transportation Services
 
Vehicle logistics and transportation services revenue is generated primarily by entering into freight brokerage agreements with dealers, distributors, or private party individuals to transport vehicles from a point of origin to a designated destination. The transaction price is based on the consideration specified in the customer's contract. A performance obligation is created when the customer under a transportation contract submits a bill of lading for the transport of goods from origin to destination. These performance obligations are satisfied as the shipments move from origin to destination. The freight brokerage agreements are fulfilled by independent third-party transporters who are obligated to meet our performance obligations and standards. Performance obligations are short-term, with transit days less than one week. Generally, customers are billed either upon shipment of the vehicle or on a monthly basis, and remit payment according to approved payment terms, generally not to exceed 30 days. Revenue is recognized when all risks and rewards of transportation of the vehicle is transferred to the owner upon delivery and the contracted carrier has been paid for their services.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue is comprised of: (i) cost of pre-owned vehicle sales; (ii) cost of other sales and revenue products; and (iii) costs of subscription and other fees.
 
Cost of vehicle sales to consumers and dealers includes the cost to acquire pre-owned vehicles and the reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing these vehicles for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles we acquire, the source of those vehicles and supply and demand dynamics in the vehicle market. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and include parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to specific pre-owned vehicles. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition. Cost of pre-owned vehicle sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Cost of other sales and revenue products includes primarily the costs of (i) extended service protection; (ii) vehicle appearance products; (iii) guaranteed asset protection, (iv) sales of pre-owned vehicles acquired that are deemed commercially unfit because they did not meet our quality standards; and (v) costs and expenses associated with supporting our software solution for dealer under subscription arrangements.
 
 
26
 

Cost of subscription fee revenue includes the (i) cost of various data feeds from third parties; (ii) costs for hosting of the customer-facing website; (iii) commissions for new sales; and (iv) implementation and training costs for new and existing dealers.
 
Sales Profit
 
Sales profit is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the selling price of the vehicle minus our cost to acquire the vehicle. We define total average sales profit per vehicle as the aggregate sales profit in a given period divided by the number of pre-owned vehicles sold in that period. Average sales margin is sales profit as a percentage of pre-owned vehicle sales. We believe sales profit is a key measure of our ability to utilize technology to determine the cost at which we can purchase vehicles relative to the price for which we can sell them and maintain our targeted margins. The cost of preparing a vehicle for sale, which includes inspection, reconditioning and transportation are excluded from this metric and are tracked independently. As our regional partner network is expanded and the volume of vehicles acquired grows, we expect to see declines in these preparation costs per vehicle which in turn will provide more meaningful comparison data to other vehicle sellers.
 
Vehicle Gross Profit
 
Gross profit is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of revenue associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. The aggregate dollar gross profit achieved from the consumer and dealer sales channels are different. Pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers through our website generally have the highest dollar gross profit since the vehicle is sold directly to the consumer. Pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers through our website are sold at a price below the retail price offered to consumers, thus the dealer and RumbleOn are sharing the gross profit. Pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers through auctions are sold at market. Factors affecting gross profit from period to period include the mix of pre-owned vehicles we acquire and hold in inventory, retail market prices, our average days to sale, and our pricing strategy. We may opportunistically choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost vehicles, or to opportunistically raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances in our sales channels, which could temporarily lead to average selling prices and gross profits increasing or decreasing in any given channel.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs and expenses for compensation and benefits, advertising and marketing, development and operating our product procurement and distribution system, managing our logistics system, establishing our dealer partner arrangements, and other corporate overhead expenses, including expenses associated with technology development, legal, accounting, finance, and business development. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the transportation cost associated with selling vehicles but excludes the cost of reconditioning, inspecting, and auction fees which are included in Cost of revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase substantially in future periods as we execute and aggressively expand our business through increased marketing spending and the addition of management and support personnel to ensure we adequately develop and maintain operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures, but we anticipate they will decline as a percentage of sales revenue.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization is comprised of the: (i) amortization of capitalized and acquired technology development; and (ii) depreciation of vehicle, furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization will continue to increase as continued investments are made in connection with the expansion and growth of the business.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense includes interest incurred on notes payable and other long-term debt, which was used to fund startup costs and expenses, technology development, inventory, our transportation fleet, property and equipment and the acquisition of NextGen.
 
Seasonality
 
The volume of vehicles sold will generally fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors including weather, the timing of pre-owned vehicles available for sale from selling consumers, the availability and quality of vehicles, holidays, and the seasonality of the retail market for pre-owned vehicles. As a result, revenue and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. The fourth calendar quarter typically experiences lower used vehicle auction accessibility as well as additional costs associated with the holidays and winter weather.

Pre-owned vehicle sales increased by $209,756,142 to $217,836,347 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $8,080,205 for the same period of 2018. The increase in sales was a result of an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to 12,103 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 878 for the same period of 2018. The increase in vehicles sold was driven by the continued expansion of our business which was highlighted by the growth in visits to the RumbleOn website, continued growth in requests for cash offers by consumers and dealers, expanded levels of availability and selection of inventory for sale, enhanced marketing efforts, increased brand awareness and customer referrals, increased utilization of our Dealer Direct online acquisition platform which allows dealers to use our web or mobile application to view, bid and buy inventory when and where they want. The increase in unit sales was also driven by the acquisitions of Wholesale in October 2018 and Autosport in February 2019. We anticipate that the growth in both pre-owned automotive and powersports vehicle unit sales will continue to grow as we: (i) significantly increase the selection and availability of our online pre-owned vehicle inventory; (ii) further enhance our consumer centric website to enabling secure document and payment exchanges between private parties and increase Search Engine Optimization (SEO); and (iii) begin buying and selling automobiles and trucks to consumers - to accelerate growth in both automotive and powersports.
 
Total cost of revenue increased by $197,923,367 to $205,444,668 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $7,521,301 for the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. Powersport total cost of revenue increased by $16,428,255 to $23,949,556 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $7,521,301 for the same period in 2018.

Powersports Vehicle Revenue
 
Total powersports vehicle revenue increased by $18,864,327 to $26,929,159 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $8,064,832 for the same period of 2018. The growth in powersports revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to 3,298 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 878 for the same period of 2018. The increase in vehicles sold was driven by the continued expansion of our business which was highlighted by the growth in visits to the RumbleOn website, continued growth in requests for cash offers by consumers and dealers, expanded levels of availability and selection of inventory for sale, enhanced marketing efforts, increased brand awareness and customer referrals, increased utilization of our Dealer Direct online acquisition platform which allows dealers to use our web or mobile application to view, bid and buy inventory when and where they want. The average selling price of pre-owned powersport vehicles for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 was $8,165 as compared to $9,185 for the same period of 2018. The decline in average selling price was primarily due to a shift in inventory mix from acquiring and selling higher priced Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley-Davidson and lower priced other makes of powersports vehicles which better represented the overall powersport market. For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, 62.9% of the pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers and dealers were Harley-Davidson at an average selling price of $10,131 as compared to 69.4% of the pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers and dealers for the three-months ended March 31, 2018 were Harley-Davidson sold at an average selling price of $10,759. We anticipate that pre-owned vehicle sales will continue to grow as we further increase selection and availability of our online pre-owned vehicle inventory and enhance our website with additional functionality while continuing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets of consumers and dealers through brand building, direct response marketing and event marketing and expand usage of both our dealer direct and consumer classified listing site.
 
Powersports Cost of Revenue
 
Powersport cost of vehicle revenue increased by $16,428,225 to $23,949,556 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and consisted primarily of: (i) the acquisition cost of vehicles sold to consumers and dealers of $22,915,209 from the sale of 3,298 pre-owned vehicles at an average acquisition cost of $6,948; and (ii) aggregate reconditioning and transportation costs of $848,154. For the three-months ended March 31, 2018, the $7,521,301 cost of vehicle revenue primarily consisted of: (i) the acquisition cost of vehicles sold to consumers and dealers of $7,070,967 from the sale of 878 pre-owned vehicles at an average acquisition cost of $8,053; and (ii) aggregate reconditioning and transportation costs of $301,665.
 
Powersports Gross Profit
 
Powersport vehicle gross profit increased $2,466,682 to $3,165,796 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $699,359 for the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold at an average higher per unit gross profit for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in powersport unit gross profit was driven primarily by an increase in gross profit per unit to $960 or an 11.8 % gross margin for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $797 or 8.7 % gross margin for the same period of 2018. The net increase was primarily a result of: (i) a shift in sales mix volume from Harley-Davidson to lower priced higher gross margin non-Harley Davison brands and (ii) lower unit reconditioning and freight costs resulting from cost efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $16,559,524 to $20,440,016 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 from $3,880,492 for the same period of 2018. The increase is a result of the continued rapid growth and expansion of our business which resulted in: (i) an increase in expenses associated with advertising and marketing; (ii) increase headcount associated with the development and operating our product procurement, distribution and logistics systems, human resources, marketing and business development; (iii) continued investment in technology development; (iv) increases in transportation costs and auction fees associated with selling vehicles; and (v) an increase in other corporate overhead costs and expenses, including accounting and finance.
 
Compensation and related costs increased $5,653,787 to $7,054,263 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 from $1,400,476 for the same period of 2018. The increase was driven by the rapid expansion of our business and acquisitions which resulted in increased headcount to support this growth. The Company had approximately 241 employees at March 31, 2019 as compared to 46 employees on March 31, 2018. As our business grows, we will continue to add headcount in all areas of the Company, which will result in an increase in compensation and related expenses in absolute dollar terms but will decrease as a percentage of total revenue.
 
Advertising and marketing increased $4,369,273 to $5,491,572 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 from $1,122,299 for the same period of 2018. This increase is a result of a significant increase in our marketing spend among our digital, social and search marketing campaigns. We are continuing to successfully develop our omnichannel marketing strategy, targeting both consumers and dealers, by combining brand building, lead generation, and content marketing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets. In addition to a strong social media marketing strategy, our digital paid advertising efforts also include programmatic, display advertisements, IP targeting and Geo-fencing, email and profile retargeting, organic search and content, video marketing, automation and aggressive event and experiential marketing. Our traditional mediums have expanded further to brand additional billboards and print advertisements, and we are incurring production costs for preparation of future television and connected TV brand awareness advertising. We believe our demographic focus of nurturing the buyer personas of both consumers and dealers, ensures loyalty which will drive both high participation in the buying and selling process, while increasing referrals and third-party partnerships. This nurturing will scale tremendously as we prepare to launch personalized video experiences, unique to each user looking to acquire a cash offer in 2019 and the appendage and unification of our current user data, to provide a more targeted message for each stage of the buyer or sellers journey. In addition to our paid channels, in future periods we intend to attract new customers through increased media spending and public relations efforts while continuing to invest in our proprietary technology platforms and the overall user experience. As we continue to gain share in our addressable market, we expect advertising and marketing spending will continue to increase in absolute dollar terms but will decrease as a percentage of total revenue.
 
Professional fees increased $440,581 to $650,444 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 from $209,863 for the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily a result of legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with the activities associated with the rapid growth and expansion of the business. Fees and expenses were incurred for: (i) the public offering of Class B shares; (ii) debt financings; (iii) acquisition activities; (iv) general corporate matters; (v) the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements; and (vi) the preparation and filing of regulatory reports required of the Company for public reporting purposes For additional information, see Note 4 – "Acquisitions" and Note 7 - "Notes Payable" and Note 8 - "Stockholders' Equity," in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement.
 
Technology development expenses increased $209,374 to $492,713 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 from $283,339 for the same period of 2018. The increase was a result of a significant increase in headcount and third-party contractors to meet an increase level of technology development projects and initiatives. Included in these new technology development projects and initiatives were modules or significant upgrades to existing platforms for: (i) Retail online auction; (ii) Native App in IOS and Android; (iii) new architecture on website design and functionality; (iv) RumbleOn Marketplace; (v) redesigned cash offer tool; (vi) deal-jacket tracking tool; (vii) inventory tracking tool; (viii) CRM and multiple third-party integrations; (ix) new analytics and machine learning initiatives; and (x) IT monitoring infrastructure. Total technology costs and expenses incurred for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,372,542 of which $879,829 was capitalized. For the three-months ended March 31, 2018, total technology cost and expenses incurred were $469,307 of which $185,968 was capitalized. For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, a third-party contractor billed $717,719 of the total technology development costs as compared to $304,726 for the same period of 2018. The amortization of capitalized technology development costs for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 was $291,746 as compared to $173,760 for the same period of 2018. We expect our technology development expenses to increase as we continue to upgrade and enhance our technology infrastructure, invest in our products, expand the functionality of our platform and provide new product offerings. We also expect technology development expenses to continue to be affected by variations in the amount of capitalized internally developed technology.

Adjusted EBITDA
 
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and also adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as transaction costs and non-cash compensation costs, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing, future company performance.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because it excludes, among other things, certain results of decisions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure and capital investments.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $3,780,693 to $3,284,172 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. This increase is primarily a result of the $6,525,775 of proceeds received from the February 2019 public offering of 1,276,500 shares of Class B Common Stock offset by a $1,299,011 net reduction in our floor plan lines of credit and a $1,960,472 reduction in the Hercules loan.

Advances under the Credit Facility require RMBL Missouri to maintain 10.0% of the advanced amount as restricted cash. Advances under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate designated from time to time by Ally and will be determined using a 365/360 simple interest method of calculation, unless expressly prohibited by law. Advances under the Credit Facility, if not demanded earlier, are due and payable for each vehicle financed under the Credit Facility as and when such vehicle is sold, leased, consigned, gifted, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disposed of. Interest under the Credit Facility is due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 60 days from the date of request for payment.

Investment in Growth
 
At March 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $4,268,125 and borrowing availability under our line of credit - floorplans. Since inception, our operations have been financed primarily by net proceeds from the sales of shares of our Class B common stock and proceeds from the issuance of indebtedness. We have incurred cumulative losses of $42,481,059 from our operations through March 31, 2019 and expect to incur additional losses in the future. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, our cash requirements for the next twelve months are significant as we have begun to aggressively invest in the growth of our business, and we expect this investment to continue. We plan to invest heavily in inventory, marketing, technology and infrastructure to support the growth of the business. These investments are expected to increase our negative cash flow from operations and operating losses at least in the near term, and our limited operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that are early in their development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include an evolving business model, advancement of technology and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, continue our development of relevant applications, stay abreast of changes in the marketplace, as well as implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States ("GAAP") requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see Note 1-"Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies." Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.

Revenue Recognition
 
We adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model that includes: (1) identify the contract; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Based on the manner in which we historically recognized revenue, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition, and we recognized no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption.
 
For vehicles sold at wholesale to dealers we satisfy our performance obligation for vehicles sales when the wholesale purchaser obtains control of the underlying vehicle, which is upon delivery when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control pass to the dealer. We recognize revenue at the amount we expect to receive for the pre-owned vehicle, which is the fixed price determined at the auction. The purchase price of the wholesale vehicle is typically due and collected within 30 days of delivery of the wholesale vehicle.
 
For vehicles sold to consumers the purchase price is set forth in the customer contracts at a stand-alone selling price which is agreed upon prior to delivery. We satisfy our performance obligation for pre-owned vehicle sales upon delivery when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control pass to the customer. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon purchase price stated in the contract, including any delivery charges, less an estimate for returns. Our return policy allows customers to initiate a return during the first three days after delivery. Estimates for returns are based on an analysis of historical experience, trends and sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. The amount of consideration received for pre-owned vehicle sales to consumers includes noncash consideration representing the value of trade-in vehicles, if applicable, as stated in the contract. Prior to the delivery of the vehicle, the payment is received, or financing has been arranged. Payments from customers that finance their purchases with third parties are typically due and collected within 30 days of delivery of the pre-owned vehicle. In future periods additional provisions may be necessary due to a variety of factors, including changing customer return patterns due to the maturation of the online vehicle buying market, macro- and micro-economic factors that could influence customer return behavior and future pricing environments. If these factors result in adjustments to sales returns, they could significantly impact our future operating results. Revenue exclude any sales taxes, title and registration fees, and other government fees that are collected from customers.
 
Vehicle finance fee revenue is recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the financing has been arranged. We may be charged back for a fee in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the commissions that we receive. Cancellations will fluctuate depending on the customer financing default or prepayment rates and shifts in customer behavior. To the extent that actual experience differs from historical trends, there could be adjustments to our finance contract cancellation reserves.
 
Commission revenue on vehicle service contracts is recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is estimated based on historical experience and recent trends. Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the commissions that we receive. Cancellations will fluctuate depending on the customer financing default or prepayment rates, and shifts in customer behavior, including those related to changes in the coverage or term of the product. To the extent that actual experience differs from historical trends, there could be adjustments to our contract cancellation reserves.
 
Subscription fees for access to the RumbleOn software solution are paid monthly and revenue recognition commences when the installation of the software is complete, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable.
 
Vehicle logistics and transportation services revenue is generated primarily by entering into freight brokerage agreements with dealers, distributors, or private party individuals to transport vehicles from a point of origin to a designated destination. The transaction price is based on the consideration specified in the customer's contract. A performance obligation is created when the customer under a transportation contract submits a bill of lading for the transport of goods from origin to destination. These performance obligations are satisfied as the shipments move from origin to destination. The freight brokerage agreements are fulfilled by independent third-party transporters who are obligated to meet our performance obligations and standards. Performance obligations are short-term, with transit days less than one week. Generally, customers are billed either upon shipment of the vehicle or on a monthly basis, and remit payment according to approved payment terms, generally not to exceed 30 days. Revenue is recognized when all risks and rewards of transportation of the vehicle is transferred to the owner upon delivery and the contracted carrier has been paid for their services.

Vehicle Inventory
 
Pre-owned vehicle inventory is accounted for pursuant to ASC 330, Inventory and consists of pre-owned vehicles primarily acquired from consumers and includes the cost to acquire and recondition a pre-owned vehicle. Reconditioning costs are billed by third-party providers and includes parts, labor, and other repair expenses directly attributable to a specific vehicle. Transportation costs are expensed as incurred. Pre-owned inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is based on the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn data of similar vehicles, as well as independent market resources. Each reporting period, the Company recognizes any necessary adjustments to reflect pre-owned vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is recognized in cost of revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Also, on October 26, 2018, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Steven Brewster and Justin Becker (together the "Express Sellers"), and Steven Brewster as representative of the Express Sellers, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the membership interests (the "Express Transaction," and together with the Wholesale Transaction, the "Transactions") in Wholesale Express, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company ("Express," and together with Wholesale, the "Wholesale Entities").
 
The Transactions were both completed on October 30, 2018. As consideration for the Wholesale Transaction, the Company (i) paid cash consideration of $12,353,941, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) issued to the Wholesale Stockholders 1,317,329 shares (the "Stock Consideration") of the Company's Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the "Series B Preferred"). As consideration for the Express Transaction, the Company paid cash consideration of $4,000,000, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments.

The Wholesale,Express and Autosport transactions were accounted under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the cost, including transaction costs was preliminarily allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. at the time the acquisition was consummated, the Company valued the purchase price to acquire Wholesale,Express and Autosport based upon the fair value of the consideration paid.
 
The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value and expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets and liabilities acquired can significantly impact net income (loss). For example, different classes of assets will have useful lives that differ. Consequently, to the extent a longer-lived asset is ascribed greater value under the acquisition method than a shorter-lived asset there may be less amortization recorded in a given period.
 
Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired requires significant judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. As provided by the accounting rules, the Company used the one-year period following the consummation of the acquisition to finalize the estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. One of the areas that requires more judgment in determining fair values and useful lives is intangible assets. To assist in this process, the Company obtained an appraisal from an independent valuation firm for certain intangible assets. While there are a number of different methods used in estimating the value of the intangibles acquired, there are two approaches primarily used: discounted cash flow and market multiple approaches. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the two approaches include: projected future cash flows (including timing); discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows; perpetual growth rate; determination of appropriate market comparables; and the determination of whether a premium or a discount should be applied to comparables.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired which is not allocable to separately identifiable intangible assets. Other identifiable intangible assets, such as domain names, are separately recognized if the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal right or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged.
 
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually, and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds fair value. We have the option to qualitatively or quantitatively assess goodwill for impairment and we evaluated our goodwill using a qualitative assessment process. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are individual stores as this is the level at which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance.
 
We test our goodwill for impairment in December of each year. In 2018, we evaluated our goodwill using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. If the qualitative assessment determines it is more likely than not the fair value is less than the carrying amount, we would further evaluate for potential impairment. No impairment charges related to intangible assets were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company is required to make estimates and assumptions related to our valuation and recording of stock-based compensation expense under current accounting standards. These standards require all share-based compensation to employees to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their respective grant date fair values over the requisite service periods and also requires an estimation of forfeitures when calculating compensation expense.
 
On June 30, 2017, the Company's shareholders approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") under which restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other equity awards may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Twelve percent (12%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time are reserved for issuance under the Plan. On June 25, 2018, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan from 12% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock to 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Plan Amendment"). The Plan Amendment was previously approved by the Board in May 2018 subject to stockholder approval. The Company estimates the fair value of awards granted under the Plan on the date of grant. The fair value of an RSU is based on the average of the high and low market prices of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over its vesting period. Stock incentive plans requires judgment, including estimating the expected term the award will be outstanding, volatility of the market price of the Company's common stock and the amount of the awards that are expected to be forfeited. We have estimated forfeitures based on historic employee behavior under similar stock-based compensation plans. The fair value of stock-based compensation is affected by the assumptions selected. A significant increase in the market price of the Company's common stock, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement on future issuances; and a significant decrease in would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement on future issuances. See Note 1 "Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies—Stock-Based Compensation."

Recent Pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that the rights and obligations created by leases with a duration greater than 12 months be recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach for all leases entered into before the effective date. The Company has also elected the option, as permitted in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, whereby initial application of the new lease standard would occur at the adoption date and a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, would be recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. For comparability purposes, the Company will continue to comply with previous disclosure requirements in accordance with existing lease guidance for all periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company has elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which enabled the Company: (1) to carry forward the historical lease classification; (2) not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; and, (3) not to reassess the treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases. In addition, the Company has made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet. Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized a total operating lease liability in the amount of $3,118,038, representing the present value of the minimum rental payments remaining as of the adoption date and a right-of-use asset in the amount of $3,114,398.
 
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt this ASU for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Finance receivables originated in connection with the Company's vehicle sales are held for sale and are subsequently sold. The Company does not presently hold any finance receivables therefore does not expect adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Emerging Growth Company
 
We are an "emerging growth company" under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing not to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2019. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
