ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The aggregate cost of 2,520,967 of the Shares acquired by ESW to date is approximately $19,912,022, inclusive of any applicable brokerage commissions.

As described in Item 6, in January 2014, in connection with an Amended & Restated Technology Services Agreement between the issuer and an affiliate of ESW, the Issuer issued 1,803,574 shares of common stock to such affiliate (which shares were subsequently transferred to Acorn) at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,100.

On March 14, 2016, the Issuer, a subsidiary of the Issuer and Hipcricket, Inc. (Hipcricket), a cloud-based mobile messaging software provider and a subsidiary of ESW, entered into an asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which substantially all of the assets of Hipcricket related to Hipcrickets business were sold in exchange for the issuance to Hipcricket of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer and the Issuers EPM Live product business. The issuance of the shares of common stock of the Issuer to Hipcricket was not registered under the Securities Act and the parties relied on a private placement exemption from such registration requirements. The value of such 1,000,000 Shares on the closing date of such transaction was $6,160,000, based on the closing sale price of the Shares on March 14, 2016. On March 17, 2016, Hipcricket changed its name to EPM Live, Inc.
