Business. Overview PART I RumbleOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation, operates a capital light disruptive e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned vehicles in one online location. Our 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. Our initial focus is the market for vin specific pre-owned vehicles with an initial emphasis on motorcycles and other powersports. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Form 10-K”), we refer to RumbleOn, Inc., formerly Smart Server, Inc., as “RumbleOn,” “RMBL,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” and similar words. Serving both consumers and dealers, through our online marketplace platform, we make cash offers for the purchase of pre-owned vehicles. In addition, we offer a large inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. 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 our regional partners, consisting of dealers and auctions. We utilize regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles as well as to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, we earn fees and transaction income, while our regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. Our business model is driven by a technology platform we acquired in February 2017, through our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NextGen Dealer Solutions, LLC (“NextGen”). The acquired system provides integrated vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive the online marketplace. Over the past 16 years, the developers of the software have designed and built, for large multi-national clients, a number of dealer and, what we believe to be, high quality applications solutions. Our business combines a comprehensive online buying and selling experience with a vertically-integrated supply chain solution that allows us to buy and sell high quality vehicles to and from consumers and dealers transparently and efficiently at a value-oriented price. Using our website or mobile application, consumers and dealers can complete all phases of a pre-owned vehicle transaction. Our online buying and selling experience allows consumers to: ● Sell us a vehicle. We address the lack of liquidity available in the market for a cash sale of a vehicle by consumers and dealers through our cash offer to buy program. Dealers and consumers can sell us a vehicle independent of a purchase. Using our free and simple appraisal tool, consumers and dealers can receive a haggle-free, guaranteed 3-day firm cash offer for their pre-owned vehicle within minutes and, if accepted, receive prompt payment. Our cash offer to buy is based on the use of extensive pre-owned retail and wholesale vehicle market data. When a consumer accepts our offer, we ship their vehicles to our closest regional partner where the vehicle is inspected, reconditioned and prepared for pending sale. We believe buying pre-owned vehicles directly from consumers is the primary driver of our source of supply for sale and a key to our ability to offer competitive pricing to buyers. By being one of the few online sources for consumers to receive cash for their vehicle, we have a significant opportunity to buy product at a lower cost since dealer and auction markup is eliminated from these consumer purchases. In addition, we believe our willingness to provide cash offers and purchase a customer’s vehicle sight unseen, whether or not the customer is buying a vehicle from us, provides a competitive sourcing advantage for vehicles. ● Purchase a pre-owned vehicle. Our 100% online marketplace approach to retail consumer and dealer distribution addresses the many issues currently facing the consumer and dealer distribution marketplace for pre-owned vehicles, a marketplace we believe is primed for a disruptive change. We believe the issues facing the marketplace include: (i) heavy use of inefficient listing sites, (ii) a highly fragmented dealer network; (iii) a limited selection of high quality pre-owned vehicles for sale; (iv) negative consumer perception of the current buying experience; and (v) a massive consumer shift to online retail. We offer consumers and dealers a large selection of pre-owned vehicles at a value-oriented price that can be purchased in a seamless transaction in minutes. In addition to a transparent buying experience, our no haggle pricing, coupled with an inspected, reconditioned and certified vehicle, backed by a fender-to-fender warranty and a 3-day money back guarantee, addresses consumer dissatisfaction with the current buying processes in the marketplace. As of December 31, 2017, including vehicles of our dealer partners, we have 751 pre-owned vehicles listed for sale on our website, where consumers can select and purchase a vehicle, including arranging financing, directly from their desktop 1 or mobile device. Selling pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers is the key driver of our business. ● Finance a purchase. Customers can pay for their vehicle using cash or we will provide a range of finance options from unrelated third parties such as banks or credit unions. Customers fill out a short online application form, and, if approved, apply the financing to their purchase. ● Protect a purchase. Customers have the option to protect their vehicle with unrelated third-party branded Extended Protection Plans (“EPPs”) and vehicle appearance protection products as part of our online checkout process. EPPs include extended service plans which are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection, 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. To enable a seamless consumer and dealer experience, we are building a vertically-integrated pre-owned vehicle supply chain marketplace, supported by proprietary software systems and data which include the following attributes: ● Vehicle sourcing and acquisition. We acquire virtually all of our pre-owned vehicle inventory directly from consumers and dealers. Using pre-owned retail and wholesale vehicle market data obtained from a variety of internal and external data sources, we evaluate a significant number of vehicles daily to determine their fit with consumer demand, internal profitability targets and our existing inventory mix. The supply of pre-owned vehicles is influenced by a variety of factors, including: the total number of vehicles in operation; the rate of new vehicle sales, which in turn generate pre-owned vehicles; and the number of pre-owned vehicles sold or remarketed through our consumer and dealer channels. Based on the large number of vehicles remarketed each year, consumer acceptance of our cash offer to buy, and the large size of the United States market relative to our needs, we believe that sources of pre-owned vehicles will continue to be sufficient to meet our current and future needs. ● Inspection, reconditioning and logistics. After acquiring a vehicle, we transport it to one of our closest regional partners who are paid to perform an inspection and to recondition the vehicle to meet “RumbleOn Certified” standards. High quality photographs are then taken, the vehicle is listed for sale on Rumbleon.com and the regional partner stores the vehicle pending delivery to the buyer. This process is supported by a custom pre- owned vehicle inventory management system, which tracks vehicles through each stage of the inspection, reconditioning and logistic process. The ability to leverage and provide a high margin source of incremental revenue to the existing network of regional partners in return for providing inspection, reconditioning, logistics and distribution support reduces our need for any significant investment in retail or reconditioning facilities. Corporate History RumbleOn, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada in October 2013 as a development stage company under the name Smart Server, Inc. In July 2016, Berrard Holdings Limited Partnership (“Berrard Holdings”) acquired 5,475,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the prior owner of such shares pursuant to an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 13, 2016. The shares acquired by Berrard Holdings represented 99.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Steven Berrard, a director and our Chief Financial Officer, has voting and dispositive control over Berrard Holdings. The aggregate purchase price of the shares was $148,141. In addition, at the closing, Berrard Holdings loaned the Company, and the Company executed a promissory note, in the principal amount of $191,858 payable to Berrard Holdings. Effective August 31, 2017, the note was amended to increase the principal amount by $5,500 to $197,358 in aggregate amount payable to Berrard Holdings. In October 2016, Berrard Holdings sold an aggregate of 3,312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to Marshall Chesrown, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and certain other purchasers. The 2,412,500 shares acquired by Mr. Chesrown represented 43.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The remaining shares owned by Berrard Holdings after giving effect to the transaction represented 39.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. On November 28, 2016, the Company completed a private placement with certain purchasers, with respect to the sale of an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $1.50 per share for total consideration of $1,350,000 (the “2016 Private Placement”). In connection with the 2016 Private Placement, the Company also entered into loan agreements, pursuant to which the purchasers would loan to the Company their pro rata share of up to 2 $1,350,000 in the aggregate upon the request of the Company at any time on or after January 31, 2017 and before November 1, 2020. On January 8, 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “NextGen Agreement”) with NextGen, Halcyon Consulting, LLC (“Halcyon”), and members of Halcyon signatory thereto (“Halcyon Members,” and together with Halcyon, the “Halcyon Parties”) pursuant to which NextGen agreed to sell to the Company substantially all of the assets of NextGen in exchange for a payment of approximately $750,000 in cash, the issuance to NextGen of 1,523,809 unregistered shares of Company common stock (the “Purchaser Shares”), the issuance of a subordinated secured promissory note issued by the Company in favor of NextGen in the amount of $1,333,333 (the “Acquisition Note”) and the assumption by the Company of certain specified post-closing liabilities of NextGen under the contracts being assigned to the Company as part of the transaction (the “NextGen Acquisition”). On February 8, 2017, the Company assigned to NextGen Pro, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“NextGen Pro”), the right to acquire NextGen’s assets and liabilities (but not any other rights or obligations under the NextGen Agreement). On January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders holding 6,375,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to change the name Smart Server, Inc. to RumbleOn, Inc. and to create an additional class of Company common stock. The Certificate of Amendment became effective on February 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), after the notice and accompanying Information Statement describing the amendment was furnished to non- consenting stockholders of the Company in accordance with Nevada and Federal securities law. Immediately before approving the Certificate of Amendment, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Authorized Common Stock”), including 6,400,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Outstanding Common Stock,” and together with the Authorized Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Authorized Common Stock as Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), which Class A Common Stock ranks pari passu with all of the rights and privileges of the Common Stock, except that holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and (ii) all other shares of Common Stock, including all shares of Outstanding Common Stock were deemed Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), which Class B Common Stock are identical to the Class A Common Stock in all respects, except that holders of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. On January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board and stockholders holding 6,375,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock approved the issuance to (i) Mr. Chesrown of 875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Chesrown, and (ii) Mr. Berrard of 125,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Berrard. Also, on February 8, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), RumbleOn and NextGen Pro completed the NextGen Acquisition in exchange for approximately $750,000 in cash, the Purchaser Shares, the Acquisition Note, and the other consideration described above. The Acquisition Note matures on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”). Interest accrues and will be paid semi-annually (i) at a rate of 6.5% annually from the Closing Date through the second anniversary of such date and (ii) at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the Closing Date through the Maturity Date. The Company’s obligations under the Acquisition Note are secured by substantially all the assets of the NextGen Pro pursuant to an Unconditional Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), by and among NextGen and NextGen Pro, and a related Security Agreement between the parties, each dated as of the Closing Date. Under the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, NextGen Pro has agreed to guarantee the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the Acquisition Note. On March 31, 2017, we completed funding of the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement. The purchasers were issued 1,161,920 shares of Class B Common Stock and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $667,000, (the “Private Placement Notes”), in consideration of cancellation of loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount committed by the purchasers of $1,350,000. Also on March 31, 2017, we completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,480,000 in a private placement offering, (the “2017 Private Placement.”) We sold an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with the 2017 Private Placement on April 30, 2017. Our officers and directors acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. Proceeds from the 2017 Private Placement were used to complete the launch of our website, acquire vehicle inventory, continue development of our platform, and for working capital purposes. 3 On October 23, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “2017 Public Offering”) of 2,910,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock at a price of $5.50 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $14.5 million. In connection with the 2017 Public Offering, on October 19, 2017, the Class B Common Stock uplisted from the OTCQB and began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RMBL.” Our Strategy RumbleOn’s strategy is to provide a 100% online supply chain marketplace solution for the retail distribution of pre- owned vehicles to consumers and dealers, while providing regional partners access to software solutions and services allowing them to earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales leads, and fees earned from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. The recognition of the need for the RumbleOn solutions is the result of our management team gaining a clear understanding of the key drivers of complete supply chain solutions to create a different and disruptive way to both acquire and distribute pre-owned vehicles online from their deep experience in the automotive sector with disruptive businesses such as: AutoNation™, Auto America™, and Vroom™. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to disrupt the pre-owned marketplace in powersports and recreational vehicles as it suffers from many of the same negative consumer sentiments and dealer practices that existed in the automotive sector prior to the advent of and the significant influx of new entrants with improved business models. In addition, the powersports and recreation vehicle segment lacks the significant competition that exists in the automotive sector due to its fragmented dealer network, relative size and the niche nature of its products. Management believes consumers prefer to transact through a well-designed simple online/mobile solution, with a broad selection of pre-owned vehicles at highly competitive prices. RumbleOn applications provide a cash offer financing options and logistics/delivery solutions designed to provide an exceptional consumer experience. We intend to replicate and improve upon the positive attributes of the various “Sell us your car” and other related programs that have proven successful in automotive retail for entities such as AutoNation™, CarMax™, Carvana™, Vroom™ and others. RumbleOn’s regional partner strategy is focused on creating a synergistic relationship wherein regional partners have the ability to leverage the RumbleOn online marketplace and partner services offerings to drive increased revenue through the purchase or sale of pre-owned vehicles via the online marketplace platform and the ability to earn fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. Regional partners have the ability to show the complete RumbleOn vehicle inventory on their website and have access to preferred pricing on the acquisition of vehicles. We intend to add additional regional partners to our network and we are currently in discussions with a number of other potential partners regarding joining the network. We believe that our operations, designed to be both capital and infrastructure light, will leverage the regional partner network to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution, thus minimizing the number of warehouse locations, reconditioning centers and logistics facilities we operate. We plan to primarily operate a centralized headquarter, call center, and limited number of strategically located warehouses as needed. RumbleOn’s initial focus was on pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles as it provided a targeted, identifiable segment to establish the functionality of the platform and the RumbleOn brand. Harley-Davidson is a highly regarded and dominant brand (representing approximately 50% market share of new 601cc+ on-road motorcycles according to both Harley-Davidson public filings and the Motorcycle Industry Council) in the motorcycle market, with a base of over three million pre-owned motorcycles registered for use in the United States. According to Harley-Davidson, as disclosed in their 2017 investor meeting presentation, and management estimates, each year approximately 400,000 pre-owned Harley- Davidsons are sold, with Harley-Davidson dealers selling approximately 125,000 units, 250,000 units sold in private consumer and independent dealer transactions, and 25,000 sold via other means. As our business has evolved we have expanded into other powersports and recreational vehicle with a strong emphasis on the “metric” brands of motorcycles (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc.) which essentially doubles the available market and is a natural extension as these vehicles are often sold or traded for Harley-Davidson vehicles. The metric market and dealer profile closely mirror that of the Harley-Davidson market although it is more highly fragmented and the average pre-owned vehicle selling price is less than a pre-owned Harley Davidson. In addition, many of the metric dealers also retail other powersport vehicles including ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and personal watercraft providing RumbleOn an opportunity for product extensions by leveraging existing regional partner relationships. Our Growth Strategy We intend to transform the way pre-owned vehicles are bought and sold and thereby significantly grow our business and gain market share by targeting the large number of private consumer transactions driven by listing only sites such as Craigslist. Management believes a significant number of pre-owned vehicle transactions are completed on a peer to peer basis. We believe these transactions are highly inefficient and consumers view the process as cumbersome. Our online consumer direct sourcing strategy, wherein we make a cash offer to a consumer or dealer utilizing our website or mobile 4 application allows us to deliver value pricing on our vehicles for sale. We believe our large-scale inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale, coupled with our 100% online marketplace platform, transparent selling process, certified and reconditioned pre-owned vehicles and ability to offer financing and ancillary products provides a unique customer experience as compared to current alternatives when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. We believe we can aggressively drive RumbleOn brand recognition and awareness at a relatively low expense by utilizing digital, social media and guerrilla marketing techniques, as there are few national competitors and consumers are very brand focused and loyal. For example, approximately 15 key motorcycle events, such as Daytona Bike Week and the Sturgis Bike Rally, attract millions of attendees annually, many of whom are motorcycle and other powersport and recreational vehicle enthusiasts. We intend to have a significant presence at these type of events, with onsite advertising and sales facilities to build brand awareness. In addition, we anticipate engaging with or sponsoring powersport groups, providing us a targeted audience to which to market RumbleOn and showcase the ease with which they can buy, sell, or trade a vehicle online. Once powersports and recreational vehicle enthusiasts have sampled our website, we believe the unique experience will be compelling and drive organic growth. Over time, management believes we will build a proprietary database of customers and their interests, which will facilitate customer retention and cross sell activities. Our Market We currently operate in the powersports and recreational vehicle market with significant scale and breadth of products. The Motorcycle Industry Council estimates that in 2014, 9.2 million people owned 10.1 million motorcycles in the United States. 87% of these were on-highway models, our initial targeted segment. According to the Powersports Business 2016 Market Data Book, or the 2016 Market Data book, pre-owned motorcycle registrations were 1.1 million units in 2015 with new unit sales of approximately 573,000 or approximately $7 billion in new vehicle sales. The owner demographic is favorable to the market outlook as millennials and baby boomers are maturing into the median ranges. The owner group is characterized by brand loyal riding enthusiasts. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, in 2014 the median owner age was 47 years with a median income of $62,200 which is approximately 10% above the United States’ average. The dealer market is fragmented with an estimated 10,000 outlets authorized to sell powersports and recreation vehicles that include new and pre-owned motorcycles, scooter, and all-terrain vehicles. The ATV, UTV/side-by-side, snowmobile and personal watercraft vehicle, or PWC, markets, are a logical next extension for our platform, as there is significant overlap in the motorcycle dealer base with dealers of these products. According to data from Power Product Marketing and the 2016 Market Data Book, there were approximately 630,000 sales of ATV/UTV/Side-by-sides in 2015. There are approximately 1.2 million snowmobiles registered in the United States (another 600,000 in Canada) and in 2016, approximately 95,000 snowmobiles were sold in the United States and Canada. Lastly, according the National Marine Manufacturers Association and the Personal Watercraft Industry Association, in 2015 there were more than 54,000 new PWCs sold in the United States and there are currently approximately 1.2 million PWCs registered in the United States. As we look to further extend the platform, the two largest adjacent segments are represented by the recreational boating and recreational vehicle (motor vehicle or trailer equipped with living space and amenities found in a home) industries. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, there were approximately 15.7 million recreational boats in the United States in 2014, and there were approximately 940,000 sales of pre-owned boats in 2014. Correspondingly, the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association estimates that currently more than 8.9 million households own an RV and in 2017 there will be over 470,000 shipments of RVs from manufacturers to dealers. Competition The United States pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicle marketplace is highly fragmented, and we face competition from franchised dealers, who sell both new and pre-owned vehicles; independent dealers; online and mobile sales platforms; and private parties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry are delivering an outstanding consumer experience, competitive sourcing of vehicles, breadth and depth of product selection, and value pricing. Our competitors vary in size and breadth of their product offerings. We believe that our principal competitive advantages in pre-owned vehicle retailing includes our ability to provide a high degree of customer satisfaction with the buying experience by virtue of our low, no-haggle prices and our 100% online marketplace platform including our website and mobile application and our ability to make a cash offer to purchase a vehicle with our customer-friendly sales process and our breadth of selection of the most popular makes and models available on our website. In addition, we believe our willingness to make a cash offer to purchase a customer’s vehicle, whether or not the customer is buying a vehicle from us, provides a competitive sourcing advantage for retail vehicles allowing us to offer value-oriented pricing. We believe the principal competitive factors for our ancillary products and services include an ability to offer a full suite of products at competitive prices delivered in an efficient manner to the customer. We will compete with a variety of entities in offering 5 these products including banks, finance companies, insurance and warranty providers and extended vehicle service contract providers. We believe our competitive strengths in this category will include our ability to deliver products in an efficient manner to customers utilizing our technology and our ability to partner with key participants in each category to offer a full suite of products at competitive prices. Lastly, additional competitors may enter the businesses in which we will operate. Seasonality Historically, the industry has been seasonal with traffic and sales strongest in the spring and summer quarters. Sales and traffic are typically slowest in the fall quarter but increase in February and March, coinciding with tax refund season. Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights Our brand image is a critical element of our business strategy. As of December 31, 2017, we have a trademark registration for “RumbleOn” and various applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Government Regulation Various aspects of our business are or may be subject, directly or indirectly, to U.S. federal and state laws and regulations. Failure to comply with such laws or regulations may result in the suspension or termination of our ability to do business in affected jurisdictions or the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines or the award of significant damages against us and our dealers in class action or other civil litigation. State Motor Vehicle Sales, Advertising and Brokering Laws The advertising and sale of new or pre-owned motor vehicles is highly regulated by the states in which we do business. Although we do not anticipate selling new vehicles, state regulatory authorities or third parties could take the position that some of the regulations applicable to dealers or to the manner in which powersports and recreational vehicles are advertised and sold generally are directly applicable to our business. If our products and services are determined to not comply with relevant regulatory requirements, we could be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines, or the award of significant damages in class action or other civil litigation as well as orders interfering with our ability to continue providing our products and services in certain states. In addition, even absent such a determination, to the extent dealers are uncertain about the applicability of such laws and regulations to our business, we may lose, or have difficulty increasing the number of dealers in our network, which would affect our future growth. Several states have laws and regulations that strictly regulate or prohibit the brokering of motor recreational vehicles or the making of so-called “bird-dog” payments by dealers to third parties in connection with the sale of motor vehicles through persons other than licensed salespersons. If our products or services are determined to fall within the scope of such laws or regulations, we may be forced to implement new measures, which could be costly, to reduce our exposure to those obligations, including the discontinuation of certain products or services in affected jurisdictions. Additionally, such a determination could subject us to significant civil or criminal penalties, including fines, or the award of significant damages in class action or other civil litigation. In addition to generally applicable consumer protection laws, many states in which we may do business either have or may implement laws and regulations that specifically regulate the advertising for sale of new or pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles. These state advertising laws and regulations may not be uniform from state to state, sometimes imposing inconsistent requirements on the advertiser of a new or pre-owned recreational vehicle. If the content displayed on the websites we operate is determined or alleged to be inaccurate or misleading, we could be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines, or the award of significant damages in class action or other civil litigation. Moreover, such allegations, even if unfounded or decided in our favor, could be extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant sums in settlements, and could interfere with our ability to continue providing our products and services in certain states. Federal Advertising Regulations The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), has authority to take actions to remedy or prevent advertising practices that it considers to be unfair or deceptive and that affect commerce in the United States. If the FTC takes the position in the future that any aspect of our business constitutes an unfair or deceptive advertising practice, responding to such allegations could require us to pay significant damages, settlements, and civil penalties, or could require us to make adjustments to our products and services, any or all of which could result in substantial adverse publicity, loss of participating dealers, lost revenue, increased expenses, and decreased profitability. 6 Federal Antitrust Laws The antitrust laws prohibit, among other things, any joint conduct among competitors that would lessen competition in the marketplace. Some of the information that we may obtain from dealers may be sensitive and, if disclosed inappropriately, could potentially be pre-owned by dealers to impede competition or otherwise diminish independent pricing activity. A governmental or private civil action alleging the improper exchange of information, or unlawful participation in price maintenance or other unlawful or anticompetitive activity, even if unfounded, could be costly to defend and adversely impact our ability to maintain and grow our dealer network. In addition, governmental or private civil actions related to the antitrust laws could result in orders suspending or terminating our ability to do business or otherwise altering or limiting certain of our business practices, including the manner in which we handle or disclose pricing information, or the imposition of significant civil or criminal penalties, including fines or the award of significant damages against us in class action or other civil litigation. The foregoing description of laws and regulations to which we are or may be subject is not exhaustive, and the regulatory framework governing our operations is subject to continuous change. The enactment of new laws and regulations or the interpretation of existing laws and regulations in an unfavorable way may affect the operation of our business, directly or indirectly, which could result in substantial regulatory compliance costs, civil or criminal penalties, including fines, adverse publicity, loss of participating dealers, lost revenue, increased expenses, and decreased profitability. Further, investigations by government agencies, including the FTC, into allegedly anticompetitive, unfair, deceptive or other business practices by us, could cause us to incur additional expenses and, if adversely concluded, could result in substantial civil or criminal penalties and significant legal liability. Employees As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately 40 employees all of which are full-time. Available Information Our Internet website is www.rumbleon.com.

Risk Factors Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the events or developments described below occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially or adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. Risks Related to Our Business We have a limited operating history and we cannot assure you we will achieve or maintain profitability. Our business model is unproven, and we have a limited operating history. We are only in the initial development stage of our business. We expect to make significant investments in the further development and expansion of our business and these investments may not result in the successful development, operation, or growth of our business on a timely basis or at all. We may not generate sufficient revenue and we may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including a lack of demand for our products and services, increasing competition, weakness in the powersports, and recreational vehicle industries generally, as well as other risks described in these Risk Factors, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown factors relating to the development and operation of our business. Accordingly, we may not be able to successfully develop and operate our business, generate revenue, or achieve or maintain profitability. 7 Our annual and quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, each of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline. We expect our operating results to be subject to annual and quarterly fluctuations, and they will be affected by numerous factors, including: ● ● a change in consumer discretionary spending; a shift in the mix and type of vehicles we sell which could result in lower sales price and lower gross profit; ● weather, which may impact the ability or desire for potential end customers to consider whether they wish to own a powersports and recreational vehicle; ● the timing and cost of, and level of investment in, development activities relating to our software development and services, which may change from time to time; ● our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel; ● ● ● expenditures that we will or may incur to acquire or develop additional product and service offerings; future accounting pronouncements or changes in our accounting policies; and the changing and volatile U.S., European and global economic environments. If our annual or quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Class B Common Stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any annual or quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our stock to fluctuate substantially. We believe that annual and quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. The initial development and progress of our business to date may not be indicative of our future growth prospects and, if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively. We expect that, in the future, as our revenue increases, our rate of growth will decline. In addition, we will not be able to grow as fast or at all if we do not accomplish the following: ● maintain and grow our regional partner network; ● ● ● ● ● increase the number of users of our products and services, and in particular the number of unique visitors to our website and our branded mobile applications; increase the number of transactions between our users and both RumbleOn and our regional partners; introduce third party ancillary products and services; acquire sufficient number of pre-owned vehicles at attractive cost; and sell sufficient number of pre-owned vehicles at acceptable prices. We may not successfully accomplish any of these objectives. We plan to continue our investment in future growth. We expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on: ● marketing and advertising; ● product and service development; including investments in our website, business processes, infrastructure, inventory, product and service development team and the development of new products and services and new features for existing products; and ● general administration, including legal, accounting and other compliance expenses related to being a public company. 8 In addition, our anticipated growth may place and may continue to place significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. As we grow, we expect to hire additional personnel. Also, our organizational structure will become more complex as we add additional staff, and we will need to ensure we adequately develop and maintain operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. We may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If capital is not available on terms acceptable to us or at all, we may not be able to develop and grow our business as anticipated and our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed. We intend to continue to make investments to support the development and growth of our business and, we may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. However, additional funds may not be available when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Volatility in the credit markets may also have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain debt financing. Also, the incurrence of leverage, the debt service requirements resulting therefrom, and the possibility of a need for financing or any additional financing could have important and negative consequences, including the following: (a) the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, or general corporate or other purposes may be impaired in the future; (b) certain future borrowings may be at variable rates of interest, which will expose the Company to the risk of increased interest rates; (c) the Company may need to use a portion of the money it earns to pay principal and interest on their credit facilities, which will reduce the amount of money available to finance operations and other business activities, repay other indebtedness, and pay distributions; and (d) substantial leverage may limit the Company’s flexibility to adjust to changing economic or market conditions, reduce their ability to withstand competitive pressures and make them more vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected. The success of our business relies heavily on our marketing and branding efforts, especially with respect to the RumbleOn website and our branded mobile applications, and these efforts may not be successful. We believe that an important component of our development and growth will be the business derived from the RumbleOn website and our branded mobile applications. Because RumbleOn is a consumer brand, we rely heavily on marketing and advertising to increase the visibility of this brand with potential users of our products and services. Our business model relies on our ability to scale rapidly and to decrease incremental user acquisition costs as we grow. Some of our methods of marketing and advertising may not be profitable because they may not result in the acquisition of a sufficient users visiting our website and mobile applications such that we may recover these costs by attaining corresponding revenue growth. If we are unable to recover our marketing and advertising costs through increases in user traffic and in the number of transactions by users of our platform, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth, results of operations and financial condition. The failure to develop and maintain our brand could harm our ability to grow unique visitor traffic and to expand our regional partner network. Developing and maintaining the RumbleOn brand will depend largely on the success of our efforts to maintain the trust of our users and dealers and to deliver value to each of our users and dealers. If our potential users perceive that we are not focused primarily on providing them with a better pre-owned vehicle buying experience, our reputation and the strength of our brand will be adversely affected. Complaints or negative publicity about our business practices, our marketing and advertising campaigns, our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the integrity of the data that we provide to users, data privacy and security issues, and other aspects of our business, irrespective of their validity, could diminish users’ and dealers’ confidence in and the use of our products and services and adversely affect our brand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop, maintain or enhance our brand, and failure to do so would harm our business growth prospects and operating results. 9 We rely on Internet search engines to drive traffic to our website, and if we fail to appear prominently in the search results, our traffic would decline, and our business would be adversely affected. We depend in part on Internet search engines and social media such as Google™, Bing™, and Facebook™ to drive traffic to our website. For example, when a user searches the internet for a particular type of powersports or recreational vehicle, we will rely on a high organic search ranking of our webpages in these search results to refer the user to our website. However, our ability to maintain high, non-paid search result rankings is not within our control. Our competitors’ Internet search engine and social media efforts may result in their websites receiving a higher search result page ranking than ours, or Internet search engines could revise their methodologies in a way that would adversely affect our search result rankings. If Internet search engines or social media companies modify their search algorithms or display technologies in ways that are detrimental to us, or if our competitors’ efforts are more successful than ours, overall growth in our user base could slow or our user base could decline. Internet search engine providers could provide recreation vehicle dealer and pricing information directly in search results, align with our competitors or choose to develop competing services. Any reduction in the number of users directed to our website through Internet search engines could harm our business and operating results. A significant disruption in service on our website or of our mobile applications could damage our reputation and result in a loss of consumers, which could harm our business, brand, operating results, and financial condition. Our brand, reputation and ability to attract consumers, affinity groups and advertisers depend on the reliable performance of our technology infrastructure and content delivery. We may experience significant interruptions with our systems in the future. Interruptions in these systems, whether due to system failures, computer viruses, or physical or electronic break-ins, could affect the security or availability of our products on our website and mobile application, and prevent or inhibit the ability of consumers to access our products. Problems with the reliability or security of our systems could harm our reputation, result in a loss of consumers, dealers and affinity group marketing partners, and result in additional costs. We intend to locate our communications, network, and computer hardware used to operate our website and mobile applications at facilities in various parts of the country to minimize the risk and create an environment where we can remain online if one of the facilities in which our equipment is housed goes offline. Nevertheless, we will not own or control the operation of these facilities, and our systems and operations will be vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, acts of war, electronic and physical break-ins, computer viruses, earthquakes, and similar events. The occurrence of any of these events could result in damage to our systems and hardware or could cause them to fail. Problems faced by any third-party web hosting providers we may utilize could adversely affect the experience of our consumers. Any third-party web hosting providers could close their facilities without adequate notice. Any financial difficulties, up to and including bankruptcy, faced by any third-party web hosting providers or any of the service providers with whom they contract may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. If our third-party web hosting providers are unable to keep up with our growing capacity needs, our business could be harmed. Any errors, defects, disruptions, or other performance or reliability problems with our network operations could cause interruptions in access to our products as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities and services and could harm our reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition. We may be unable to maintain or grow relationships with information data providers or may experience interruptions in the data feeds they provide, which may limit the information that we are able to provide to our users and regional partners as well as adversely affect the timeliness of such information and may impair our ability to attract or retain consumers and our regional partners and to timely invoice all parties. We expect to receive data from third-party data providers, including our network of dealers, dealer management system data feed providers, data aggregators and integrators, survey companies, purveyors of registration data and possibly others. There may be some instances in which we use this information to collect a transaction fee from those dealers and recognize revenue from the related transactions. From time to time, we may experience interruptions in one or more data feeds that we receive from third-party data providers, particularly dealer management system data feed providers, in a manner that affects our ability to timely invoice the dealers in our network. These interruptions may occur for a number of reasons, including changes to the software used by these data feed providers and difficulties in renewing our agreements with third-party data feed providers. Additionally, when an interruption ceases, we may not always be able to collect the appropriate fees and any such shortfall in revenue could be material to our operating results. 10 If we are unable to provide a compelling powersport or recreation vehicle buying experience to our users, the number of transactions between our users, RumbleOn and dealers will decline, and our revenue and results of operations will suffer harm. We cannot assure you that we are able to provide a compelling vehicle buying experience to our users, and our failure to do so will mean that the number of transactions between our users, RumbleOn and dealers will decline, and we will be unable to effectively monetize our user traffic. We believe that our ability to provide a compelling powersport and recreation vehicle buying experience is subject to a number of factors, including: ● our ability to launch new products that are effective and have a high degree of consumer engagement; and ● compliance of the dealers and regional auctions within our network with applicable laws, regulations and the rules of our platform. If key industry participants, including powersports and recreation vehicle dealers and regional auctions, perceive us in a negative light or our relationships with them suffer harm, our ability to operate and grow our business and our financial performance may be damaged. We anticipate that we will derive a significant portion of our revenue from fees paid by existing powersports and recreation vehicle dealers for dealer services we may provide them. In addition, we intend to utilize a select set of regional partners to perform services for our benefit, including, among other things, vehicle reconditioning, vehicle storage and vehicle photography. If our relationships with our network of regional partners suffer harm in a manner that leads to the departure of these regional partners from our network, then our ability to operate our business, grow revenue, and lower our costs will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will maintain strong relationships with the regional partners in our network or that we will not suffer partner attrition in the future. We may also have disputes with regional partners from time to time, including relating to the collection of fees from them and other matters. We may need to modify our products, change pricing or take other actions to address regional partner concerns in the future. If we are unable to create and maintain a compelling value proposition for regional partners to become and remain in our network, our network will not grow and may begin to decline. If a significant number of these regional partners decided to leave our network or change their financial or business relationship with us, then our business, growth, operating results, financial condition and prospects could suffer. Additionally, if we are unable to attract regional partners to our network, our growth could be impaired. The growth of our business relies significantly on our ability to increase the number of regional partners in our network such that we are able to increase the number of transactions between our users and regional partners. Failure to do so would limit our growth. Our ability to grow the number of regional partners in our network is an important factor in growing our business. We are a new participant in the powersport and recreational vehicle industry, our business may be viewed in a negative light by powersports and recreation vehicle dealerships, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or grow the number of regional partners in our network. Our ability to grow our complementary product offerings may be limited, which could negatively impact our development, growth, revenue and financial performance. As we introduce or expand additional offerings for our platform, such as recreation vehicle trade-ins, lead management, transaction processing, financing, maintenance and insurance, we may incur losses or otherwise fail to enter these markets successfully. Our expansion into these markets may place us in competitive and regulatory environments with which we are unfamiliar and involves various risks, including the need to invest significant resources and the possibility that returns on such investments will not be achieved for several years, if at all. In attempting to establish such new product offerings, we may incur significant expenses and face various other challenges, such as expanding our sales force and management personnel to cover these markets and complying with complicated regulations that apply to these markets. In addition, we may not successfully demonstrate the value of these ancillary products to consumers or dealers, and failure to do so would compromise our ability to successfully expand into these additional revenue streams. We rely on third-party financing providers to finance a portion of our customers’ vehicle purchases. We rely on third-party financing providers to finance a portion of our customers’ vehicle purchases. Accordingly, our revenue and results of operations are partially dependent on the actions of these third parties. We provide financing to qualified customers through a number of third-party financing providers. If one or more of these third-party providers cease 11 to provide financing to our customers, provide financing to fewer customers or no longer provide financing on competitive terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and results of operations. Additionally, if we were unable to replace the current third-party providers upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events, it could also have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and results of operations. We rely on third-party providers to supply EPP products to our customers. Accordingly, our revenue and results of operations will be partially dependent on the actions of these third-parties. If one or more of these third-party providers cease to provide EPP products, make changes to their products or no longer provide their products on competitive terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue and results of operations. Additionally, if we were unable to replace the current third-party providers upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events, it could also have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue and results of operations. Our sales of powersports/recreation vehicles may be adversely impacted by increased supply of and/or declining prices for pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles and excess supply of new powersports and recreational vehicles. We believe when prices for pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles have declined, it can have the effect of reducing demand among retail purchasers for new powersports and recreational vehicles (at or near manufacturer’s suggested retail prices). Further, the manufacturers of powersports and recreational vehicles can and do take actions that influence the markets for new and pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles. For example, introduction of new models with significantly different functionality, technology or other customer satisfiers can result in increased supply of pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles, and a corresponding decrease in price of pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles. Also, while historically manufacturers have taken steps designed to balance production volumes for new powersports and recreational vehicles with demand, those steps have not always proven effective. In other instances, manufacturers have chosen to supply new powersports and recreational vehicles to the market in excess of demand at reduced prices which has the effect of reducing demand for pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles. We rely on a number of third parties to perform certain operating and administrative functions for the Company. We rely on a number of third parties to perform certain operating and administrative functions for us. We may experience problems with outsourced services, such as unfavorable pricing, untimely delivery of services, or poor quality. Also, these third parties may experience adverse economic conditions due to difficulties in the global economy that could lead to difficulties supporting our operations. In light of the amount and types of functions that we will outsource, these service provider risks could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We participate in a highly competitive market, and pressure from existing and new companies may adversely affect our business and operating results. We face significant competition from companies that provide listings, information, lead generation, and powersports and recreation vehicle buying services designed to reach consumers and enable dealers to reach these consumers. We will compete for a share of overall powersports and recreation vehicle purchases as well as powersport and recreation vehicle dealer’s marketing and technology spend. To the extent that powersports and recreation vehicle dealers view alternative strategies to be superior to RumbleOn, we may not be able to maintain or grow the number of dealers in our network, we may sell fewer powersports and recreation vehicles to users of our platform, and our business, operating results and financial condition will be harmed. We also expect that new competitors will continue to enter the online powersports and recreation vehicle retail industry with competing products and services, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue, business and financial results. Our competitors could significantly impede our ability to expand our network of dealers and regional auctions and to reach consumers. Our competitors may also develop and market new technologies that render our existing or future products and services less competitive, unmarketable or obsolete. In addition, if our competitors develop products or services with similar or superior functionality to our solutions, we may need to decrease the prices for our solutions in order to remain competitive. If we are unable to maintain our current pricing structure due to competitive pressures, our revenue will be reduced, and our operating results will be negatively affected. Our current and potential competitors may have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have, and the ability to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and support of their products and services. Additionally, they may have more extensive recreation vehicle industry relationships than we have, longer operating histories and greater name recognition. As a result, these competitors may be better able to respond more 12 quickly to undertake more extensive marketing or promotional campaigns. If we are unable to compete with these companies, the demand for our products and services could substantially decline. In addition, if one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future third-party data providers, technology partners, or other parties with whom we may have relationships, thereby limiting our ability to develop, improve, and promote our solutions. We may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and competitive pressures may harm our revenue, business and financial results. Seasonality or weather trends may cause fluctuations in our unique visitors, revenue and operating results. Our revenue trends are likely to be a reflection of consumers’ recreation vehicle buying patterns. While different types of recreation vehicles are designed for different seasons (motorcycles are typically for non-snow seasons, while snowmobiles are typically designed for winter), our revenue may be cyclical if, for example, powersport and recreation vehicles and powersports and recreational dealers continue to represent a large percentage of our revenue. Historically, the industry has been seasonal with traffic and sales strongest in the spring and summer quarters. Sales and traffic are typically slowest in the fall quarter but increase in February and March, coinciding with tax refund season. Our business will also be impacted by cyclical trends affecting the overall economy, specifically the retail recreation vehicle industry, as well as by actual or threatened severe weather events. We collect, process, store, share, disclose and use personal information and other data, and our actual or perceived failure to protect such information and data could damage our reputation and brand and harm our business and operating results. We collect, process, store, share, disclose and use personal information and other data provided by consumers, dealers and auctions. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect secure transmission of such information. We may need to expend significant resources to protect against security breaches or to address problems caused by breaches. Any failure or perceived failure to maintain the security of personal and other data that is provided to us by consumers and dealers could harm our reputation and brand and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, any of which could harm our business and operating results. In addition, from time to time, it is possible that concerns will be expressed about whether our products, services, or processes compromise the privacy of our users. Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could harm our business and operating results. There are numerous federal, state and local laws around the world regarding privacy and the collection, processing, storing, sharing, disclosing, using and protecting of personal information and other data, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and which may be costly to comply with and may be inconsistent between countries and jurisdictions or conflict with other rules. We generally comply with industry standards and are subject to the terms of our privacy policies and privacy-related obligations to third parties. We strive to comply with all applicable laws, policies, legal obligations and industry codes of conduct relating to privacy and data protection, to the extent possible. However, it is possible that these obligations may be interpreted and applied in new ways or in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices or that new regulations could be enacted. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to consumers or other third parties, or our privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of sensitive information, which may include personally identifiable information or other user data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause consumers and recreation vehicle dealers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, if vendors, developers or other third parties that we work with violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may also put consumer or dealer information at risk and could in turn harm our reputation, business and operating results. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could harm our business and operating results. A portion of our success may be dependent on our intellectual property, the protection of which is crucial to the success of our business. We expect to rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright law and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property. In addition, we will attempt to protect our intellectual property, technology, and confidential information by requiring our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements and third parties to enter into nondisclosure agreements. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, intellectual property, or technology and 13 may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, intellectual property, or technology. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our website features, software, and functionality or obtain and use information that we consider proprietary. Competitors may adopt service names similar to ours, thereby harming our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to user confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of the term “RumbleOn” or “RMBL.” We currently hold the “RumbleOn.com” Internet domain name and various other related domain names. The regulation of domain names in the United States is subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars, or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may not be able to acquire or maintain all domain names that use the name RumbleOn or RMBL. We may in the future be subject to intellectual property disputes, which are costly to defend and could harm our business and operating results. We may from time to time face allegations that we have infringed the trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties, including from our competitors or non-practicing entities. Patent and other intellectual property litigation may be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict and may require us to stop offering some features, purchase licenses or modify our products and features while we develop non-infringing substitutes or may result in significant settlement costs. In addition, we use open source software in our products and will use open source software in the future. From time to time, we may face claims against companies that incorporate open source software into their products, claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software or derivative works that were developed using such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our platform or services, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and operating results. Even if these matters do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessary to litigate or resolve them, could harm our business, our operating results and our reputation. We depend on key personnel to operate our business, and if we are unable to retain, attract and integrate qualified personnel, our ability to develop and successfully grow our business could be harmed. We believe our success will depend on the efforts and talents of our executives and employees, including Marshall Chesrown, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Steven R. Berrard, our Chief Financial Officer. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. In addition, the loss of any of our senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and strategy, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. Our executive officers are at-will employees, which means they may terminate their employment relationship with us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees. If we do not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business could be materially and adversely affected. We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to grow our business in response to the demands of consumers, dealers and other constituents within the powersports and recreation vehicle industry as well as competitive pressures. In some circumstances, we may determine to do so through the acquisition of complementary businesses and technologies rather than through internal development. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time- consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified acquisitions. The risks we face in connection with acquisitions include: ● diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to addressing acquisition integration challenges; 14 ● ● ● ● ● ● coordination of technology, research and development and sales and marketing functions; transition of the acquired company’s users to our website and mobile applications; retention of employees from the acquired company; cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization; integration of the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resources, and other administrative systems; the need to implement or improve controls, procedures, and policies at a business that prior to the acquisition may have lacked effective controls, procedures, and policies; ● potential write-offs of intangibles or other assets acquired in such transactions that may have an adverse effect our operating results in a given period; ● ● liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, commercial disputes, tax liabilities, and other known and unknown liabilities; and litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, consumers, former stockholders, or other third parties. Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with our future acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, cause us to incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally. Future acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, or the impairment of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. Also, the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions may not materialize to the extent we anticipate or at all. Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock The trading price for our Class B Common Stock may be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in per share price. Our Class B Common Stock is listed for trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “RMBL,” however historically there has been a limited public market for our Class B Common Stock. The liquidity of any market for the shares of our Class B Common Stock will depend on a number of factors, including: ● the number of stockholders; ● our operating performance and financial condition; ● ● ● the market for similar securities; the extent of coverage of us by securities or industry analysts; and the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the shares of our common stock. The market price for our Class B Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the price of shares of our Class B Common Stock could decline significantly if our future operating results fail to meet or exceed the expectations of market analysts and investors and actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results could negatively affect our share price. Other factors may also contribute to volatility of the price of our Class B Common Stock and could subject our Class B Common Stock to wide fluctuations. These include, but are not limited to: ● developments in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies; ● announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors; 15 ● ● announcements by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry; significant sales of our Class B Common Stock or other securities in the open market; ● variations in interest rates; ● ● changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and changes in accounting principles. Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and an even greater percentage of the Company’s voting power and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval. Our executive officers and directors as a group beneficially own shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately 74.5% in aggregate of our voting power, including approximately 62.5% in aggregate voting power held by Messrs. Chesrown and Berrard as the only holders of our 1,000,000 outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, which has ten votes for each one share outstanding. As a result, these stockholders have the ability to determine all matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, these stockholders are able to control elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that you may believe are in your best interest as a stockholder or to take other action that you may believe are not in your best interest as a stockholder. This may also adversely affect the market price of our Class B Common Stock. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline. The trading market for our Class B Common Stock may be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Because our Class B Common Stock may be deemed a low-priced “penny” stock, an investment in our Class B Common Stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions. When the trading price of our Class B Common Stock is $5.00 per share or lower, it is deemed a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, and subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to: ● deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document; ● disclose certain price information about the stock; ● disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker- dealer; ● ● send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and in some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. Consequently, if our Class B Common Stock is $5.00 per share price or lower, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the Class B Common Stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their Class B Common Stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future. 16 A significant portion of our total outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock is restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class B Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class B Common Stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Class B Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Class B Common Stock. On February 8, 2017, our executive officers, directors, and certain stockholders entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), restricting the stockholders’ ability to transfer shares of our common stock through the earlier of (i) October 19, 2017, or (ii) the date on which we receive at least $3,500,000 in proceeds of any equity financing, subject to certain exceptions. Approximately 7.3 million shares of our Class B Common Stock were subject to these restrictions. In addition to the Stockholders Agreement, our executive officers, directors and certain stockholders entered into lock-up agreements, which restricted the sale of our common stock by such parties through December 31, 2017. Approximately 7.1 million shares of our Class B Common Stock were subject to these lock-up agreements. In addition, approximately 6.3 million shares of our Class B Common Stock are currently subject to a contractual lock-up through April 21, 2018 with the underwriters of the 2017 Public Offering. Subject to certain limitations, including sales volume limitations with respect to shares held by our affiliates, following April 21, 2018, substantially all of our outstanding shares of common stock will become eligible for sale. Sales of stock by the stockholders currently subject to these lock-ups could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. We do not currently or for the foreseeable future intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future on the shares of common stock. We intend to reinvest any earning in the development and expansion of our business. As a result, any return on your investment in our common stock will be limited to the appreciation in the price of our common stock, if any. We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenue exceeds $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million. Even if we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” we may still be subject to reduced reporting requirements so long as we are considered a “smaller reporting company.” Many of the exemptions available for emerging growth companies are also available to smaller reporting companies like us that have less than $75 million of worldwide common equity held by non-affiliates. So, although we may no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still be subject to reduced reporting requirements. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock. Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or any 17 subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. We are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis and our management will be required to assess the effectiveness of these controls annually. However, for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls could detect problems that our management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal controls could lead to financial statement restatements and require us to incur the expense of remediation. Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline. Nevada law and our charter, bylaws, and other governing documents contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders, which could cause our stock price to decline. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. None. Item 2. Properties. We currently maintain our corporate offices at 4521 Sharon Road, Suite 370, Charlotte, NC 28211. We currently have no monthly rent, nor do we accrue any expense for monthly rent for our corporate offices, although we pay for internet and telephone services at these offices. We sublease our Dallas, Texas operations center and pay approximately $3,700 a month. This sublease expires on April 30, 2018. We believe we can extend the sublease on a month-to-month basis while we look for a new, larger location for our operations team and we expect that the terms of any lease we enter will be at market rates. We are a co-leasee on a warehouse space in Missouri from which we operate our licensed dealer operation; total shared monthly rent for the building is $4,250. Also, we pay for space to store vehicles on a monthly basis in Washington state from a dealer that is separate and distinct from the location of the dealership, on the same terms as paid by the dealer. This facility serves as our northwestern regional distribution center. Included in accounts payable at December 31, 2017 is $30,000 for rent owed to the dealer. For additional information, see Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence - Test Dealer. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. We are not a party to any material legal proceedings. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not Applicable. 18 PART II Item 5. Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchase Of Equity Securities Market Information As of October 29, 2017, our Class B common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol RMBL. Before October 29, 2017, our common stock traded on the OTCQB Market under the symbol RMBL, and before January 1, 2017, our common stock was not traded, except for 5,000 shares, which traded on the OTC Markets Pink Sheets on January 22, 2016 at a price of $0.245 per share. The following table sets forth the high and low closing sales prices per share of our common stock for the period indicated: Year Ending December 31, 2017 First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter Holders of Common Stock High Low $ $ $ $ 5.00 $ 7.00 $ 9.50 $ 10.00 $ 0.00 3.40 6.50 4.05 As of February 23, 2018, we had approximately 43 stockholders of record of 11,928,541 issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and two holders of record of 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Dividends We have never declared or paid any cash dividends. We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future on the shares of common stock. We intend to reinvest any earning in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common stockholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our board of directors, based upon the Board’s assessment of: ● our financial condition; ● earnings; ● need for funds; ● capital requirements; ● prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and outstanding; and ● other factors, including any applicable law. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock will ever be paid. Item 6. Selected Financial Data. This item is not applicable, as we are considered a smaller reporting company. 19 Item 7. 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 audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in this annual report. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview RumbleOn operates a capital light disruptive e-commerce platform facilitating the ability of both consumers and dealers to Buy-Sell-Trade-Finance pre-owned vehicles in one online location. Our 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. Our initial focus is the market for vin specific pre-owned vehicles with an emphasis on motorcycles and other powersports. Serving both consumers and dealers, through our online marketplace platform, we make cash offers for the purchase of pre-owned vehicles. In addition, we offer a large inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. 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 our regional partners, including dealers and auctions. We utilize regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles as well as to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, we can earn fees and transaction income, while our regional partners can earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. Our business model is driven by a technology platform we acquired in February 2017, through our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NextGen. The acquired system provides integrated vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive the online marketplace. Over the past 16 years, the developers of the software have designed and built, for large multi-national clients, a number of dealer and, what we believe to be, high quality applications solutions. Key Operation Metrics As our business expands we will 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 Regional partners Average monthly unique users Vehicle inventory available on website Average days to sale Total average gross margin per vehicle Vehicles Sold Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 678 21 97,877 751 38 750 $ - - - - - - We define vehicles sold as the number of pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers and dealers in each period, net of returns under our three-day return policy. 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. 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 in the acquisition of powersport vehicles and regional partner locations provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. 20 Correspondingly, we earn fees and transaction income, and regional partners earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and 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 Monthly Unique Users We define a monthly unique user as an individual who has visited our website within a calendar month, based on data provided by Google Analytics. We calculate average monthly unique users as the sum of monthly unique users in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period, including vehicles of our dealer partners. We view average monthly unique users as a key indicator of the strength of our brand, the effectiveness of our advertising and merchandising campaigns and consumer awareness. 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. 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. Total Average Gross Margin per Vehicle We define total average gross margin per vehicle as the aggregate gross margin in a given period divided by pre- owned vehicles sold in that period. Total average gross margin per vehicle is driven by sales of pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers which, provides an opportunity to generate finance and vehicle service contract revenue from consumer sales. We believe average gross margin per vehicle is a key measure of our growth and long-term profitability. COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue Revenue is derived from two primary sources: (1) the Company’s online marketplace, which is the largest source of revenue and includes: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; and (iv) retail merchandise sales; and (2) subscription and other fees relating to the RumbleOn software solution, which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; (iv) equity mining (v) implementation: and (vi) training. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the Company’s payment is probable. See Item 8 of Part II, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1— “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” for a further description of the Company’s revenue recognition. 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. 21 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 sales 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 in average selling price will drive changes in revenue. The number of pre-owned vehicles we sell depends on our volume of website traffic, 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. Additionally, we have shifted away from our initial focus on solely acquiring and selling of higher priced pre-owned Harley- Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley Davidson and lower priced pre-owned powersports vehicles that is a better representation of the overall powersport market. As a result of this change in mix, we expect our average selling price of pre-owned vehicles will decline from current levels, however we anticipated the decrease in average selling price to be offset, in part, by an increase in volume sales of metric brands. We anticipate however that our gross margin percentage will be the same or could improve. 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. 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. At that time 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. ● Retail Merchandise Sales. We sell branded and other merchandise and accessories at events. 22 Subscription and other fees We generate subscription fees from regional partners under a license arrangement that provides access to our software solution and ongoing support. Regional partners and other dealers pay a monthly subscription fee for access to and ongoing support for portions of the RumbleOn software solution, which includes: (i) vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; (iv) equity mining; (v) implementations and (vi) training. Regional partners and dealers may also be charged an initial software installation and training fee. Regional Partners and dealers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software and may cancel the license for these products and services by providing a 30-day notice. Installation and training do not have value to the user without the license and ongoing support and maintenance. 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; and (iii) guaranteed asset protection. 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. Vehicle Gross Margin Gross margin is generated on pre-owned vehicle sales from the difference between the vehicle selling price and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. The aggregate dollar gross margins 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 margin since the vehicle is sold directly to the consumer. Pre-owned vehicles sold to dealers are sold at a price below the retail price offered to consumers, thus the dealer and RumbleOn are sharing the gross margin. Factors affecting gross margin 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 margins increasing or decreasing in any given channel. Additionally, the Company has shifted away from its initial focus on solely acquiring and selling higher priced pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley Davidson and lower priced pre-owned powersports vehicles that is a better representation of the overall powersport market. Because of this change in mix our average selling price of pre-owned vehicles will decline from current levels; however, we anticipate the decrease in average selling price to be offset, in part, by an increase in volume sales of metric brands. We anticipate however that our gross margin percentage will be the same or could improve. 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. 23 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. 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 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 Item 8 of Part II, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 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 Revenue is derived from two primary sources: (1) the Company’s online marketplace, which is the largest source of revenue and includes: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; (iv) retail merchandise sales; and (2) subscription and other fees relating to the RumbleOn software solution, which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; (iv) equity mining; (v) implementation: and (vi) training. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the Company’s payment is probable. The Company sells pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers primarily through our website or regional partners, which include auctions. Revenue from pre-owned vehicle sales is recognized when the vehicle is delivered, a sales contract is signed, and the purchase price has either been received or collectability has been established, net of a reserve for returns. Our return policy allows customers to return their purchases within three days from delivery. Our reserve for sales returns is estimated using historical experience and trends. The establishment of reserves for sales returns is dependent on a number of variables. 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 for sales fees is recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the purchase price has either been received or collectability has been established. 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. The Company 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 24 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. Other fees are comprised of software installation and training. Revenue is recognized when installation and training is complete, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable. 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 sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Purchase Accounting for Business Combinations On February 8, 2017, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of NextGen, which was accounted under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction costs, of approximately $4,750,000 to acquire NextGen 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 NextGen based upon the fair value of the consideration paid which included 1,523,809 shares of Class B Common Stock issued at a negotiated fair value. 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 purchase 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. Most of these assumptions were based on available historical information. As a result of this valuation during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company finalized the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded at the acquisition date and made a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation which included: (i) an increase to technology development of $1,500,000; (ii) a decrease in goodwill of $1,390,000; (iii) a decrease to customer contracts of $10,000; and (iv) a decrease to non-compete agreements of $100,000. The measurement period adjustment also resulted in a $166,250 net increase in accumulated amortization and amortization expense previously recorded for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017. This measurement period adjustment has been recorded in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Consolidated Financial Statements as if the measurement period adjustment had been made on February 8, 2017, the date of the acquisition. The company made these measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and did not result from intervening events subsequent to such date. See Item 8 of Part II, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Note 2 “Acquisitions” for additional discussion. 25 Goodwill The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company has concluded that currently it has one reporting unit. We performed our test for impairment at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 using a two-step quantitative process. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and step two of the impairment test (measurement) must be performed. Step two of the impairment test, if necessary, requires the estimation of the fair value for the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit in order to calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by management and includes the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management utilized the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow technique as a means for estimating fair value. This discounted cash flow analysis requires various assumptions including those about future cash flows, transactional and customer growth rates and discount rates. Expected cash flows will be based on historical customer growth and the growth in transactions, including attrition, future strategic initiatives and continued long-term growth of the business. The discount rates used for the analysis will reflect a weighted average cost of capital based on industry and capital structure adjusted for equity risk and size risk premiums. These estimates can be affected by factors such as customer and transaction growth, pricing, and economic conditions that can be difficult to predict. There was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2017. Common Stock Warrants The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Any warrants that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock is classified as equity. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any warrants that (i) require net- cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control), (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception. The Company assesses classification of its common stock warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company’s freestanding derivatives consisting of 218,250 warrants to purchase common stock that were issued to underwriters in connection with the October 23, 2017 public offering of Class B common stock satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments as these warrants do not contain cash settlement features or variable settlement provision that cause them to not be indexed to the Company’s own common stock. We use the Black- Scholes pricing model to value the derivative warrant as an equity instrument. The Black-Scholes pricing model, which is based, in part, upon unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions for: (i) risk-free interest rate; (ii) volatility of the market price of the Company’s common stock; and (iii) expected dividend yield. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, the warrant equity value and the change in estimated fair value could be materially different. Generally, as the market price of our common stock increases, the fair value of the warrant increases, and conversely, as the market price of our common stock decreases, the fair value of the warrant decreases. Also, a significant increase in the volatility of the market price of the Company’s common stock, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement; and a significant decrease in volatility would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. 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 26 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. 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 Item 8 of Part II, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Note 1 “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies— Stock-Based Compensation.” Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through cost of revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2017-4, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The standard must be applied prospectively. Upon adoption, the standard will impact how the Company assesses goodwill for impairment. The Company will adopt this guidance for periods after January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 27 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table provides our results of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, including key financial information relating to our business and operations. This financial information should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II. Revenue: Pre-owned vehicle sales Other sales and revenue Subscription fees Total revenue Cost of revenue Selling general and administrative Depreciation and amortization Total expenses Operating loss Interest expense Net loss before provision for income taxes Benefit for income taxes Net Loss 2017 2016 $ 7,020,070 $ 159,230 126,602 7,305,902 - - - - 7,027,793 7,586,999 668,467 15,283,259 - 211,493 1,900 213,393 (7,977,357 ) (213,393 ) 595,966 11,698 (8,573,323 ) (225,091 ) - 513 $ (8,573,323 ) $ (224,578 ) Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2016 Revenue Total revenue increased $7,305,902 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue was driven by the initial launch of our e-commerce platform, including the launch of the RumbleOn website, expanded inventory selection, enhanced social media advertising, aggressive event marketing efforts, increased brand awareness and customer referrals. We anticipate that pre-owned vehicle sales will continue to grow as we increase our available online pre-owned vehicle inventory while continuing to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets of consumers and dealers through brand building and direct response marketing. Sales of pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers through our online marketplace increased $7,020,070 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was driven by the sale of 678 pre- owned vehicles to consumers and dealer during the year ended December 31, 2017. The average selling price of the pre- owned vehicles sold for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $10,363. The average selling price of pre-owned vehicles sold will fluctuate from period to period as a result of changes in the sales mix to consumers and dealers in any given period. The Company continues to transition from its initial focus on solely acquiring and selling higher priced Harley-Davidson motorcycles to acquiring a mix of both Harley Davidson and lower priced powersports vehicles that is a better representation of the overall powersport market. Because of this change in mix our average selling price will decline from current levels; however, we anticipate the decrease in average selling price to be offset, in part, by an increase in volume sales of metric brands. We anticipate however that our gross margin percentage will be the same or could improve from current levels. There were no sales of pre-owned vehicles to consumers or dealers for the year ended December 31, 2016. Other sales and revenue increased $159,230 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in pre-owned vehicles sold to consumers which led to an increase in loans originated and sold, vehicle service contracts and retail merchandise sales. There were no loans originated and sold, vehicle service contracts or retail merchandise sales for the year ended December 31, 2016. 28 Subscription and other fees Subscription and other fee revenue increased $126,602 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Selling, general and administrative Selling general and administrative: Compensation and related costs Advertising and marketing Professional fees Technology development General and administrative 2017 2016 - $ 3,111,363 $ - 1,731,028 153,668 890,580 - 452,957 1,401,071 57,825 $ 7,586,999 $ 211,493 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7,375,506 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is a result of the initial launch of our e-commerce platform, including the launch of our website and mobile application 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 and distribution system, managing our logistics system; (iii) continued investment in technology development; (iv) transportation cost associated with selling vehicles; and (v) other corporate overhead costs and expenses, included legal, accounting, finance and business development. Compensation and related costs increased $3,111,363 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was driven by the growth in headcount at our Dallas, Texas operations center and Charlotte, North Carolina corporate office and included payroll related cost and expenses, benefits and stock-based compensation related to new hires in our marketing, product and inventory management, accounting, finance, information technology, and administration departments. As our business continues to grow these expenses will increase as we add headcount in all areas of the business. 29 Advertising and marketing increased $1,731,028 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016. The increase was from the costs associated with the launch of our website and mobile application, aggressive event marketing and development of a multi-channel approach to consumers and dealers. We began to utilize a combination of brand building and direct response channels to efficiently source and scale our addressable markets. Our paid advertising efforts included advertisements through search engine marketing, social media, inventory site listing, retargeting, organic referral, display, direct mail and branded pay-per-click channels. We believe our strong consumer and dealer focus ensures loyalty which will drive both high participation in the buy and selling process while increasing referrals. In addition to our paid channels, in future periods we intend to attract new customers through increased media spending and public relations efforts and further invest in our proprietary technology platform. Professional fees increased $736,912 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily a result of legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with the: (i) NextGen Acquisition; (ii) 2017 Private Placement; (iii) second tranche of 2016 Private Placement; (iv) Senior Secured Promissory Notes (defined below); (v) the 2017 Public Offering; (vi) Nasdaq listing; and (vii) various corporate matters resulting from the growth and expansion of the RumbleOn business plan. See Item 8 of Part II, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Note 2 “Acquisitions,” Note 5—”Notes Payable”, and Note 6—”Stockholders’ Equity” for additional discussion. 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 development expenses increased $452,957 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Total technology costs and expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $959,743 of which $506,786 was capitalized. For the year ended December 31, 2017, a third-party contractor billed $914,099 of the total technology development costs. The amortization of capitalized technology development costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $588,519, which included $125,000 of amortization resulting from the increase in capitalized technology development costs associated with a measurement period adjustment for the NextGen Acquisition that was recorded in the 4th quarter as if the measurement period adjustment had been made on February 8, 2017, the date of the acquisition. There were no technology development costs incurred and no amortization of capitalized development costs for the period end December 31, 2016. 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. General and administrative expenses increased $1,343,246 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is a result of the cost and expenses associated with the continued progress made in the development of our business, the establishment of our Dallas operations center and meeting the requirements of being a public company.

On February 8, 2017, in connection with the NextGen Acquisition, the Company issued the NextGen Note. Interest accrues and will be paid semi-annually (i) at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and (ii) at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the Maturity Date. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the NextGen Note shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holder. The Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note are secured by substantially all the assets of NextGen Pro, pursuant to an Unconditional Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), by and among NextGen and NextGen Pro, and a related Security Agreement between the parties, each dated as of February 8, 2017. Under the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, NextGen Pro has agreed to guarantee the performance of all the Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note. Interest expense on the NextGen Notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $76,457.

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed funding of the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement (as defined below). The investors were issued 1,161,920 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company and promissory notes (the “Private Placement Notes”) in the amount of $667,000, in consideration of cancellation of loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount committed by the purchasers of $1,350,000. Under the terms of the Private Placement Notes, interest shall accrue on the outstanding and unpaid principal amounts until paid in full. The Private Placement Notes mature on March 31, 2020. Interest accrues at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the maturity date. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Private Placement Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. Based on the relative fair values attributed to the Class B Common Stock and promissory notes issued in the 2016 Private Placement, the Company recorded a debt discount on the promissory notes of $667,000 with the corresponding amounts as addition to paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Private Placement Notes in March 2020 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2017 was 26.0%. Interest expense on the Private Placement Notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $158,740, which included debt discount amortization of $126,076 for the year ended December 31, 2017. See Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 5—Notes Payable” for additional discussion. On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001, at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,480,000 in the private placement (the “2017 Private Placement”). Officers and directors of the Company acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. In May 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. Proceeds from the 2017 Private Placement were used to complete the launch of the Company’s website, www.rumbleon.com, acquire vehicle inventory, continue development of the Company’s platform, and for working capital purposes. See Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 6—Stockholders’ Equity” for additional discussion. On September 5, 2017 the Company executed Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Senior Secured Promissory Notes”) in favor of several investors, including certain executive officers and directors of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (“Principal Amount”), which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $150,000. The proceeds to the Company from the Senior Secured Promissory Notes, net of original issuance discount, was $1,500,000. The Senior Secured Promissory Notes were secured by an interest in all the Company’s Collateral, as such term was defined in the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. The Senior Secured Promissory Notes maturity was September 15, 2018 and borer interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum through December 31, 2017, and a rate of 10% per annum thereafter. Interest was payable monthly in arrears. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Promissory Notes would become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. The Principal Amount and any unpaid interest accrued thereon could be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the Maturity Date without premium or penalty upon five days prior written notice to the Noteholder. If the Company consummated in one or more transactions financing of any nature resulting in net proceeds available to the Company of $5,000,000 or more, then the Noteholders could require the Company to prepay the Senior Secured Promissory Notes on thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. The original issue discount was amortized to interest expense through repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes using the effective interest method. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed the 2017 Public Offering and used approximately $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the offering for the repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest of $11,075, which resulted in the termination of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. 32 On October 23, 2017, the Company completed the 2017 Public Offering of 2,910,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock at a price of $5.50 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $14.5 million. In connection with the 2017 Public Offering, on October 19, 2017, the Class B Common Stock uplisted from the OTCQB and began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RMBL”. The Company used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the 2017 Public Offering for the repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. See Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 6—Stockholders’ Equity” for a further discussion. On November 2, 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary RMBL Missouri, LLC (the “Borrower”), entered into a floor plan line of credit (the “Credit Line”) with NextGear Capital, Inc. (“NextGear”) in the amount of $2,000,000, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of the Borrower from time to time, pursuant to that certain Demand Promissory Note and Loan and Security Agreement. As of November 2, 2017, the effective rate of interest was 6.5%. Advances and interest under the Credit Line are due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 150 days from the date of request for the advance (or the date of purchase in the case of a universal funding agreement) or of the receivable, as applicable. The Credit Line is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of the Borrower and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of NextGear and its affiliates. On February 20, 2018, the Company notified NextGear that it was terminating the Credit Line, and all security or other credit documents entered into in connection therewith. At the time of the notification, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Line. Year Ended December 31, 2016 On July 13, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible note (the “BHLP Note”) with Berrard Holdings, an entity owned and controlled by a current officer and director, Mr. Berrard, pursuant to which the Company was required to repay $191,858 on or before July 13, 2026 plus interest at 6% per annum. The BHLP Note was also convertible into common stock, in whole, at any time before maturity at the option of the holder at the greater of $0.06 per share or 50% of the price per share of the next qualified financing which is defined as $500,000 or greater. Effective August 31, 2016, the principal amount of the BHLP Note was amended to include an additional $5,500 loaned to the Company, on the same terms. On November 28, 2016, the Company completed its qualified financing at $1.50 per share which established the conversion price per share for the BHLP Note of $0.75 per share, resulting in the principal amount of the BHLP Note being convertible into 263,144 shares of Class B Common Stock. As such, November 28, 2016 became the “commitment date” for determining the value of the BHLP Note conversion feature. Because there had been no trading in the Company’s common stock since July 2014, other than the purchase by Berrard Holdings of 99.5% of the outstanding shares in a single transaction, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation to determine the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the BHLP Note, which resulted in a value in excess of the principal amount of the BHLP Note. Thus, the Company recorded a note discount of $197,358 with the corresponding amount as an addition to paid in capital. This note discount was amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the BHLP Note in July 2026 or until it was converted using the effective interest method. On March 31, 2017, the Company issued 275,312 shares of Class B Common Stock upon full conversion of the BHLP Note, having an aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest, of $206,484 and a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In connection with the conversion of the BHLP Note, the remaining debt discount of $196,076 was charged to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related deferred tax liability was credited to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data— Note 5—Notes Payable” for additional discussion. On November 28, 2016, the Company completed a private placement with certain purchasers, with respect to the sale of an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $1.50 per share for total consideration of $1,350,000 (the “2016 Private Placement”). In connection with the 2016 Private Placement, the Company also entered into loan agreements, pursuant to which the purchasers would loan to the Company their pro rata share of up to $1,350,000 in the aggregate upon the request of the Company at any time on or after January 31, 2017 and before November 1, 2020. On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement. See Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 5—Notes Payable” for additional discussion.” Investment in Growth At December 31, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $9,170,652. 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 $9,019,300 from our operations through December 31, 2017 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 33 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. Also, on February 16, 2018, the Company, through Borrower, entered into an Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Ally Bank, a Utah chartered state bank (“Ally Bank”) and Ally Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ally” together with Ally Bank, the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender may provide up to $25 million in financing, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of the Borrower from time to time, as part of its floorplan vehicle financing program. Advances under the Credit Facility require 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. 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. Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Credit Facility), the Lender may, at its option and without notice to the Borrower, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Lender and its affiliates by the Borrower and its affiliates. The Credit Facility is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of the Borrower and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of the Lender, and secured by the Company pursuant to a General Security Agreement. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of September 30, 2017, 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. 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. Forward-Looking Statements This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements and involves risks and uncertainties that could materially affect expected results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, and business prospects. These statements include, among other things, statements that: ● We have a limited operating history and we cannot assure you we will achieve or maintain profitability; ● Our annual and quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, each of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline; ● The initial development and progress of our business to date may not be indicative of our future growth prospects and, if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively; 34 ● We may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If capital is not available on terms acceptable to us or at all, we may not be able to develop and grow our business as anticipated and our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed; ● The success of our business relies heavily on our marketing and branding efforts, especially with respect to the RumbleOn website and our branded mobile applications, and these efforts may not be successful; ● The failure to develop and maintain our brand could harm our ability to grow unique visitor traffic and to expand our dealer network; ● We rely on Internet search engines and social media to drive traffic to our website, and if we fail to appear prominently in the search results, our traffic would decline, and our business would be adversely affected; ● A significant disruption in service on our website or of our mobile applications could damage our reputation and result in a loss of consumers, which could harm our business, brand, operating results, and financial condition; ● We may be unable to maintain or grow relationships with information data providers or may experience interruptions in the data feeds they provide, which may limit the information that we are able to provide to our users and dealers as well as adversely affect the timeliness of such information and may impair our ability to attract or retain consumers and our dealers and to timely invoice all parties; ● ● If key industry participants, including powersports and recreation vehicle dealers and regional auctions, perceive us in a negative light or our relationships with them suffer harm, our ability to operate and grow our business and our financial performance may be damaged; If we are unable to provide a compelling recreation vehicle buying experience to our users, the number of transactions between our users, RumbleOn and dealers will decline, and our revenue and results of operations will suffer harm; ● The growth of our business relies significantly on our ability to increase the number of dealers and regional auctions in our network such that we are able to increase the number of transactions between our users, dealers and auctions. Failure to do so would limit our growth; ● Our ability to grow our complementary product offerings may be limited, which could negatively impact our development, growth, revenue and financial performance; ● We rely on third-party financing providers to finance a significant portion of our customers’ vehicle purchases; ● Our sales of powersports/recreational vehicles may be adversely impacted by increased supply of and/or declining prices for pre-owned powersports and recreational vehicles and excess supply of new powersports and recreational vehicles; ● We rely on a number of third parties to perform certain operating and administrative functions for the Company; ● We participate in a highly competitive market, and pressure from existing and new companies may adversely affect our business and operating results; ● Seasonality or weather trends may cause fluctuations in our unique visitors, revenue and operating results; ● We collect, process, store, share, disclose and use personal information and other data, and our actual or perceived failure to protect such information and data could damage our reputation and brand and harm our business and operating results; ● Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could harm our business and operating results; ● We may in the future be subject to intellectual property disputes, which are costly to defend and could harm our business and operating results; 35 ● Results of operations from quarter to quarter may be volatile as a result of the impact of fluctuations in the fair value of our outstanding warrants; ● We depend on key personnel to operate our business, and if we are unable to retain, attract and integrate qualified personnel, our ability to develop and successfully grow our business could be harmed; ● We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results; ● The trading price for our Class B Common Stock may be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in per share price; ● Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and an even greater percentage of the Company’s voting power and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval; ● If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline; ● Because our Class B Common Stock may be deemed a low-priced “penny” stock, an investment in our Class B Common Stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions; ● A significant portion of our total outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock is restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class B Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well; ● We do not currently or for the foreseeable future intend to pay dividends on our common stock; ● We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors; ● Even if we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company”, we may still be subject to reduced reporting requirements so long as we are considered a “smaller reporting company”; ● If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock; ● Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline; ● other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report; as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies.

See Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Marshall Chesrown and Steven R. Berrard, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on their evaluation, Messrs. Chesrown and Berrard concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit 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 principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control, as is defined in the Exchange Act. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls, including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made and in accordance with our management and directors authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only the management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Correspondingly, the Company will earn fees and transaction income, and the regional partner may earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. In connection with the development of the regional partner program, the Company tested various aspects of the program by utilizing a dealership to which Mr. Chesrown, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has provided financing in the form of a $400,000 convertible promissory note (the “Dealer”). The note matures on May 1, 2019, interest is payable monthly at 5% per annum and can be converted into a 25% ownership interest in the Dealer at any time.

These services may include audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services. The policy provides for the annual establishment of fee limits for various types of audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services, within which the services are deemed to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee back up information with respect to the performance of such services. All services provided by Scharf Pera during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated to its Chair the authority to pre-approve services, up to a specified fee limit, to be rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm and requires that the Chair report to the Audit Committee any pre-approved decisions made by the Chair at the next scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee. 47 Item 15.

Financial Statements REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of RumbleOn, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RumbleOn, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Scharf Pera & Co., PLLC We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016 Charlotte, North Carolina February 27, 2018 F-2 RumbleOn, Inc.

F-6 Notes to Financial Statements 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 Smart Server was originally formed to engage in the business of designing and developing mobile application payment software for smart phones and tablet computers. After Smart Server ceased its technology development activities in 2014, it had no operations and nominal assets, meeting the definition of a “shell company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and regulations thereunder. 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 recreation vehicles in one online location. The Company’s goal is for the platform to be widely recognized as the leading online solution for the sale, acquisition, and distribution of recreation vehicles by providing users with the most efficient, timely and transparent experience. The Company’s business plan is currently driven by a technology platform it acquired on February 8, 2017 from NextGen Dealer Solutions, LLC (“NextGen”), which the Company owns and operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary NextGen Pro, LLC (“NextGen Pro”). The NextGen platform provides vehicle appraisal, inventory management, customer relationship management and lead management, equity mining, and other key services necessary to drive the online marketplace. For additional information, see Note 2— “Acquisitions.” Serving both consumers and dealers, through our online marketplace platform, we make cash offers for the purchase of pre-owned vehicles. In addition, we offer a large inventory of pre-owned vehicles for sale along with third-party financing and associated products. 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 regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles as well as to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, we earn fees and transaction income, and regional partners will earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. Year end In October 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from November 30 to December 31. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, carrying value of intangible assets, sales returns, receivables valuation, restructuring-related liabilities, taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. 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. F-7 Revenue Recognition Revenue is derived from two primary sources: (1) the Company’s online marketplace, which is our largest source of revenue and includes: (i) the sale of pre-owned vehicles through consumer and dealer sales channels; (ii) vehicle financing; (iii) vehicle service contracts; and (iv) retail merchandise sales and (2) subscription and other fees relating to the RumbleOn software solution, which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; (iv) equity mining (v) implementation; and (vi) training. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (iii) the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the collection of the Company’s payment is probable. Pre-owned Vehicle Sales The Company sells pre-owned vehicles to consumers and dealers primarily through our website or regional auctions. The source of these vehicles is primarily from the Company’s cash offer to buy program and customers who trade-in their existing vehicles when making a pre-owned vehicle purchase. Revenue from pre-owned vehicle sales is recognized when the vehicle is delivered, a sales contract is signed, and the purchase price has either been received or collectability has been established, net of a reserve for returns. We allow the customer to return the vehicles we sell with a 3-day, money-back guarantee. Pre-owned vehicle sales revenue is recognized net of a reserve for returns, which is based on historical experience and trends. Retail Merchandise Sales The Company sells branded and other merchandise and accessories at events and recognizes sales revenue, net of sales taxes at the time it sells the merchandise or in the case of online sales when the merchandise is delivered to the customer and payment has been received. Vehicle Financing Consumers can pay for their vehicle using cash or the Company offers a range of finance options through unrelated third-parties such as banks or credit unions. These third-party providers generally pay the Company 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. The Company may be charged back for commissions in the event a contract is prepaid, defaulted upon, or terminated. Revenue for these finance fees are recognized upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, when the sales contract is signed, and the financing has been arranged. Vehicle Service Contracts At the time of vehicle sale, the Company provides customers, on behalf of unrelated third parties who are the primary obligors, a range of other related products and services, including extended protection plan products and vehicle appearance protection. Extended protection plan products include extended service plans that are designed to cover unexpected expenses associated with mechanical breakdowns and guaranteed asset protection, 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. The Company receives commissions from the sale of these product and service contracts and has no contractual liability to customers for claims under these products. The extended protection plan and vehicle appearance protection currently offered to consumers provide coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while guaranteed asset protection covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. Commission revenue on vehicle sales contracts is recognized at the time of sale, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is estimated based upon historical industry experience and recent trends and is 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 commission revenue that we receive. Subscription Fees Subscription fees are generated from dealer partners, under a license arrangement that provides access to our software solution and ongoing support. Unless waived by the Company dealers pay a monthly subscription fee for access to and ongoing support for portions of the RumbleOn software solution which includes: (i) a vehicle appraisal process; (ii) inventory management system; (iii) customer relationship and lead management program; and (iv) equity mining. Dealers F-8 may also be charged an initial software installation and training fee. Dealers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software and may cancel the license for these products and services by providing a 30-day notice. Installation and training do not have value to the user without the license and ongoing support and maintenance. Revenue for installation and training is recognized when complete, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable. Because a dealer has the right to cancel the license with 30 days’ notice revenue recognition of monthly subscription fees commences upon completion of installation, acceptance has occurred, and collectability of a determinable amount is probable. 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 is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each year. Goodwill will also be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company has concluded that currently it has one reporting unit. Goodwill is being amortized for income tax purposes over a 15-year period. We performed our test for impairment at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 using a two-step quantitative process. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and step two of the impairment test (measurement) must be performed. Step two of the impairment test, if necessary, requires the estimation of the fair value for the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit in order to calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by management and includes the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Fair value can be determined by utilizing a combination of valuation methods, including EBITDA and revenue multiples (market approach) and the present value of discounted cash flows (income approach). Management utilized the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow technique as a means for estimating fair value. This discounted cash flow analysis requires various assumptions including those about future cash flows, transactional and customer growth rates and discount rates. Expected cash flows will be based on historical customer growth and the growth in transactions, including attrition, future strategic initiatives and continued long-term growth of the business. The discount rates used for the analysis will reflect a weighted average cost of capital based on industry and capital structure adjusted for equity risk and size risk premiums. These estimates can be affected by factors such as customer and transaction growth, pricing, and economic conditions that can be difficult to predict. There was no impairment of Goodwill as of December 31, 2017. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2017-4, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating Step two from the goodwill impairment test. The Company will adopt this guidance for periods after January 1, 2018. For additional information, see Note 1 “Recent Pronouncements.” Other Assets Included in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are amounts related to acquired internet domain names which are considered to be an indefinite lived intangible assets. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis using an income approach or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. There was no impairment of indefinite lived assets as of December 31, 2017. F-9 Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are 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. Transportation costs are expensed as incurred. 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. Valuation Allowance for Accounts Receivable The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including overall credit quality, age of outstanding balances, historical write-off experience and specific account analysis that projects the ultimate collectability of the outstanding balances. Ultimately, actual results could differ from these assumptions. 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 December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months. 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. F-10 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand. ASC Topic 820-10-30-2-Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company, whereas unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets. Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. Inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, are Level 2 inputs. Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants. 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. Common Stock Warrants The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Any warrants that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock is classified as equity. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any warrants that (i) require net- cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control), (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception. The Company assesses classification of its common stock warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company’s freestanding derivatives consisting of 218,250 warrants to purchase F-11 common stock that were issued to underwriters in connection with the October 23, 2017 public offering of Class B common stock satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments as these warrants do not contain cash settlement features or variable settlement provision that cause them to not be indexed to the Company’s own stock. Cost of Revenue Cost of vehicle sales includes the cost to acquire vehicles and the reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing the vehicles for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles the Company acquires, 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 vehicles. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition. Cost of sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of subscription and other fee revenue includes the (i) various data feeds from third parties; (ii) hosting of the customer facing website; (iii) commissions for new sales; and (iv) implementation and training of new and existing customers. These costs and expenses are charged to Cost of revenue as incurred. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs and expenses for compensation and benefits, advertising to consumers and dealers, development and operating our product procurement and distribution system, managing our logistics system, transportation cost associated with selling vehicles, establishing our dealer partner arrangements, and other corporate overhead expenses, including expenses associated with technology development, legal, accounting, finance, and business development. Advertising and Marketing Costs Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising and marketing expenses was $1,731,028 for the year ended December 31, 2017. There were no advertising and marketing costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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. During the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company granted 741,000 RSUs under the Plan to members of the Board of Directors, officers and employees. Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $503,023. and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017 total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs was $2,258,718 and the weighted average period over which this cost is expected to be recognized is 2.5 years. Income Taxes The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. F-12 The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2017, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. Recent Pronouncements Effective in the Current Period. The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through Cost of revenue in the accompanying Consolidated statements of operations. Effective in Future Periods In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2014-09) related to revenue recognition. This ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions and the effective date of ASU 2014-09, provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and the timing of when it is recognized. The entity will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This standard will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted using either a full retrospective method, which requires a restatement of prior periods presented, or a modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. We will adopt this standard for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. While we continue to assess all potential impacts of this standard, we generally do not expect adoption of the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We primarily sell products and recognize revenue at the point of sale or delivery to customers, at which point the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Our performance obligations are clearly identifiable, and we do not anticipate significant changes to the assessment of such performance obligations or the timing of our revenue recognition upon adoption of the new standard. Our primary business processes are consistent with the principles contained in the ASU, and we do not expect significant changes to those processes, our internal controls or systems. We are still evaluating the impact of the new standard on our financial statement disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2016-02) related to the accounting for leases. This pronouncement requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet while also disclosing key information about those lease arrangements. Under the new guidance, lease classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease will affect the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The classification criteria to distinguish between finance and operating leases are generally consistent with the classification criteria to distinguish between capital and operating leases under existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We expect to adopt the new standard for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with practical expedients available for election as a package. We do not expect that this standard will have a material effect on our Consolidated balance sheets since we currently do not have a significant number of leases in effect. In May 2016, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2016-12), which provided narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The improvements address completed contracts and contract modifications at transition, noncash consideration, the presentation of sales taxes and other taxes collected from customers, and assessment of collectability when determining whether a transaction represents a valid contract. The pronouncement has the same effective date as the new revenue standard, which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our Consolidated financial statements. F-13 In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2016-15) related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement provides clarification guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues that have developed due to diversity in practice. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and cash receipts from payments on beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, and do not expect it to have a material effect on our Consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2017-4, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The standard must be applied prospectively. Upon adoption, the standard will impact how the Company assesses goodwill for impairment. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, and do not expect it to have a material effect on our Consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS On February 8, 2017, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of NextGen in exchange for $750,000 in cash, plus 1,523,809 unregistered shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, which were issued at a negotiated fair value of $1.75 per share and a subordinated secured promissory note issued by the Company in favor of NextGen in the amount of $1,333,334 (the “NextGen Note”). The NextGen Note matures on the third anniversary of the closing date (the “Maturity Date”). During the fourth quarter of 2017, the company finalized the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded at the acquisition date and made a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation which included:(i) an increase to technology development of $1,500,000; (ii) a decrease in goodwill of $1,390,000; (iii) a decrease to customer contracts of $10,000; and (iv) a decrease to non-compete agreements of $100,000. The measurement period adjustment also resulted in a $166,250 net increase in accumulated amortization and amortization expense previously recorded for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017. This measurement period adjustment has been recorded as of December 31, 2017 and is reflected in the table below. The company made these measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and did not result from intervening events subsequent to such date. The measurement period adjustment did not have a material impact on the Company’s net loss in any period during the year ended December 31, 2017.

For additional information, see Note 2 “Acquisitions” At December 31, 2017, capitalized technology development costs were $3,406,786 which includes $2,900,000 of software acquired in the NextGen transaction. Total technology development costs incurred was $959,743 for the year ended December 31, 2017 of which $506,786 was capitalized and $452,957 was charged to expense in the accompanying Consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of capitalized technology development costs was $588,519 for the year ended December 31, 2017. There were no technology development costs incurred and no amortization of capitalized development costs for the year ended December 31, 2016. Depreciation expense on vehicles, furniture and equipment was $79,948 and $475, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Interest accrues and will be paid semi-annually (i) at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and (ii) at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the Maturity Date. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the NextGen Note shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holder. The Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note are secured by substantially all the assets of NextGen Pro, pursuant to an Unconditional Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), by and among NextGen and NextGen Pro, and a related Security Agreement between the parties, each dated as of February 8, 2017. Under the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, NextGen Pro has agreed to guarantee the performance of all the Company’s obligations under the NextGen Note. Interest expense on the NextGen Notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $76,457. Notes Payable-Private Placement On March 31, 2017, the Company completed funding of the second tranche of the 2016 Private Placement (as defined below). The investors were issued 1,161,920 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company and promissory notes (the “Private Placement Notes”) in the amount of $667,000, in consideration of cancellation of loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount committed by the purchasers of $1,350,000. Under the terms of the Private Placement Notes, interest shall accrue on the outstanding and unpaid principal amounts until paid in full. The Private Placement Notes mature on March 31, 2020. Interest accrues at a rate of 6.5% annually from the closing date through the second anniversary of such date and at a rate of 8.5% annually from the second anniversary of the closing date through the maturity date. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Private Placement Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. Based on the relative fair values attributed to the Class B Common Stock and promissory notes issued in the 2016 Private Placement, the Company recorded a debt discount on the promissory notes of $667,000 with the corresponding amounts as addition to paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Private Placement Notes in March 2020 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2017 was 26.0%. Interest expense on the Private Placement Notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $158,740, which included debt discount amortization of $126,076 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Notes Payable-Senior Secured Promissory Notes On September 5, 2017, the Company executed Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in favor of several investors, including certain executive officers and directors of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (“Principal Amount”), which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $150,000. The proceeds to the Company from F-17 the Senior Secured Promissory Notes, net of original issuance discount, was $1,500,000. The Senior Secured Promissory Notes are secured by an interest in all the Company’s Collateral, as such term is defined in the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. The Senior Secured Promissory Notes mature on September 5, 2018 and bear interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum through December 31, 2017, and a rate of 10% per annum thereafter. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Promissory Notes shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the holders. The Principal Amount and any unpaid interest accrued thereon may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty upon five days prior written notice to the noteholder. If the Company consummates in one or more transactions financing of any nature resulting in net proceeds available to the Company of $5,000,000 or more, then the noteholders may require the Company to prepay the Senior Secured Promissory Notes on thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. The original issue discount is amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes in September 2018 using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2017 was 10.0%. Interest expense on the Senior Secured Promissory Notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $161,075 which included $150,000 of original issue discount amortization. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed a public offering and used approximately $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the offering for the repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. Line of Credit-Floor Plan On November 2, 2017, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary RMBL Missouri, LLC (the “Borrower”), entered into a floor plan line of credit (the “Credit Line”) with NextGear Capital, Inc. (“NextGear”) in the amount of $2,000,000, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of the Borrower from time to time, pursuant to that certain Demand Promissory Note and Loan and Security Agreement. Any advance under the Credit Line bears interest on a per annum basis from the date of the request of such advance (or date of the financed receivable, as applicable), based upon a 360-day year, and such interest shall be compounded daily until such outstanding advances are paid in full at a rate of interest set forth in schedules published by NextGear. As of November 2, 2017, the effective rate of interest is 6.5%. Advances and interest under the Credit Line are due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 150 days from the date of request for the advance (or the date of purchase in the case of a universal funding agreement), or of the receivable, as applicable. Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Credit Line), NextGear may, at its option and without notice to the Borrower, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to NextGear and its affiliates by the Borrower and its affiliates. The Credit Line is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of the Borrower and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of the NextGear and its affiliates. Convertible Note Payable-Related Party On July 13, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible note (the “BHLP Note”) with Berrard Holdings, an entity owned and controlled by a current officer and director, Mr. Berrard, pursuant to which the Company was required to repay $191,858 on or before July 13, 2026 plus interest at 6% per annum. The BHLP Note was also convertible into common stock, in whole, at any time before maturity at the option of the holder at the greater of $0.06 per share or 50% of the price per share of the next qualified financing which is defined as $500,000 or greater. Effective August 31, 2016, the principal amount of the BHLP Note was amended to include an additional $5,500 loaned to the Company, on the same terms. On November 28, 2016, the Company completed its qualified financing at $1.50 per share which established the conversion price per share for the BHLP Note of $0.75 per share, resulting in the principal amount of the BHLP Note being convertible into 263,144 shares of Class B Common Stock. As such, November 28, 2016 became the “commitment date” for determining the value of the BHLP Note conversion feature. Because there had been no trading in the Company’s common stock since July 2014, other than the purchase by Berrard Holdings of 99.5% of the outstanding shares in a single transaction, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation to determine the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the BHLP Note, which resulted in a value in excess of the principal amount of the BHLP Note. Thus, the Company recorded a note discount of $197,358 with the corresponding amount as an addition to paid in capital. This note discount was amortized to interest expense until the scheduled maturity of the BHLP Note in July 2026 or until it was converted using the effective interest method. On March 31, 2017, the Company issued 275,312 shares of Class B Common Stock upon full conversion of the BHLP Note, having an aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest, of $206,484 and a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In connection with the conversion of the BHLP Note, the remaining debt discount of $196,076 was charged to interest expense in the Consolidated statements of operations and the related deferred tax liability was credited to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. F-18 NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY 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 will allow 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 December 31, 2017, 11,928,541 shares are issued and outstanding, resulting in up to 1,431,424 shares available for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has granted 741,000 RSUs under the Plan to certain officers and employees of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the RSUs, net of expected forfeitures was $2,761,740. 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. Compensation expense recognized for these grants for the year ended December 31, 2017 is $503,023. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has approximately $2,258,718 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, with an average remaining vesting period of 2.5 years. On January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders holding 6,375,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), to change the name of the Company to RumbleOn, Inc. and to create an additional class of common stock of the Company, which was effective on February 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). Immediately before approving the Certificate of Amendment, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Authorized Common Stock”), including 6,400,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Outstanding Common Stock, and together with the Authorized Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of Authorized Common Stock as Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), which Class A Common Stock ranks pari passu with all of the rights and privileges of the Common Stock, except that holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, and all other shares of Common Stock, including all shares of Outstanding Common Stock shall be deemed Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), which Class B Common Stock is identical to the Class A Common Stock in all material respects, except that holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Also on January 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders holding 6,375,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock approved the issuance to (i) Marshall Chesrown of 875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Chesrown, and (ii) Steven R.

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001, at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,480,000 in the private placement (the “2017 Private Placement”). Officers and directors of the Company acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. In May 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. Proceeds from the 2017 Private Placement were used to complete the launch of the Company’s website, www.rumbleon.com, acquire vehicle inventory, continue development of the Company’s platform, and for working capital purposes. On June 30, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC covering the resale of 8,993,541 shares of Class B Common Stock issued in the NextGen acquisition and the 2017 F-19 Private Placement and other shares previously held by our stockholders, including our officers and directors. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on July 7, 2017. In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, our officers and directors and certain stockholders entered into a lock-up agreement restricting, through December 31, 2017, the resale of an aggregate of 6,848,800 shares of our common stock held by them and subject to the Registration Statement. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,910,000 shares of Class B common stock at a public offering price of $5.50 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $14,500,000 after deducting the underwriting discount and offering fees and expenses payable by the Company (the “Offering”). The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option, which expires on November 19, 2017, to purchase up to an additional 436,500 shares of Class B common stock to cover over-allotments. The Company used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the Offering for the repayment of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds of 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. Also, in connection with the Offering, on October 19, 2017, the Class B Common Stock uplisted from the OTCQB and began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RMBL.” At December 31, 2016, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Authorized Common Stock”), including 6,400,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Outstanding Common Stock, and together with the Authorized Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).

For additional information, see Note 5— “Notes Payable.” NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK WARRANTS In connection with the October 23, 2017 public offering of 2,910,000 shares of Class B common stock the Company issued to underwriters warrants to purchase 218,250 shares of Class B common stock, which was equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock sold in the Offering. The Warrants are exercisable at a per share price of $6.325, which was equal to 115% of the Offering price per share of the shares sold in the Offering. The Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four-year period commencing one year from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Offering. The Company has classified the warrants as equity in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of the warrants were valued at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Warrants exercise price Fair value price per share of common stock Warrants outstanding Volatility Expected term remaining (years) Risk-free interest rate Dividend yield $ $ 6.325 5.50 218,250 62.0 % 5.0 1.31 % - The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention to do so. The risk-free interest rate used for each warrant classified as a derivative is equal to the U.S. Treasury rate. The expected term is based on the remaining contractual lives of the warrants at the valuation date. Since the Company’s stock was not traded frequently in the years before the valuation date the volatility may not reasonably reflect the Company’s true volatility. Therefore, we relied on the average volatility of selected comparable companies. There were no F-20 warrants exercised or forfeited for the year ended December 31, 2017. There was no aggregate intrinsic value in the warrants at December 31, 2017. The fair value of the warrants at the initial valuation date was $505,273. NOTE 8 – SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE The following table summarizes the detail of selling, general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016: Selling, General and Administrative Compensation and related costs Advertising and marketing Professional fees Technology development General and administrative 2017 2016 $ 3,111,363 $ 1,731,028 890,580 452,957 1,401,071 - - 153,668 - 57,825 $ 7,586,999 $ 211,493 NOTE 9 – SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION The following table includes supplemental cash flow information, including noncash investing and financing activity for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016: Cash paid for interest Note payable issued on acquisition Conversion of notes payable-related party Issuance of shares for acquisition NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES U.S. Tax Reform 2017 2016 $ 203,578 $ 17,909 $ 1,333,334 $ $ 206,209 $ $ 2,666,666 $ - - - 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 December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any foreign subsidiaries and the international aspects of the Tax Act are not applicable. In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 26.1%. The remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax balance was primarily offset by application of its valuation allowance. F-21 Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary difference between amounts recorded for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for tax purposes. The major components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforward Stock-based compensation Total deferred income taxes Deferred tax liabilities: Basis difference in property and equipment Basis difference in goodwill Debt discount-private placement Total deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax asset Valuation allowance Net deferred tax asset (liability) 2017 2016 $ 2,281,369 $ 131,465 2,412,834 87,614 - 87,614 114,150 32,190 116,840 263,180 2,149,654 - - 78,430 78,430 9,184 (2,149,654 ) - $ $ (87,614 ) (78,430 ) A reconciliation of the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate on income tax rate on continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. U.S. Federal statutory rate Impact of tax reform on net deferred tax assets State and local, net of Federal benefit Valuation allowance Effective tax rate 2017 2016 34.0 % (13.0 ) 5.1 % (26.1 )% - 34.0 % - 6.0 % (39.9 )% 0.01 % No current provision for Federal income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the Company’s operating losses. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has operating loss carryforwards of $8,740,879 and $230,564, respectively, which begin to expire in 2033. We have provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of $2,149,654 and $87,614 for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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 11 – LOSS PER SHARE Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the year ended, 2017 did not include 735,000 of restricted stock units or 218,250 of warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock as their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no restricted stock units or warrants outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2016. NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 620,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. Officers and directors of the Company acquired 175,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. In May 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 37,500 shares of Class B Common Stock in the 2017 Private Placement. For additional information, see Note 6— “Stockholders’ Equity.” A key component of the Company’s business model is to regional partners in the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles as well as utilize these regional partners to provide inspection, reconditioning and distribution services. Correspondingly, the Company will earn fees and transaction income, and the regional partner may earn incremental revenue and enhance profitability through increased sales, leads, and fees from inspection, reconditioning and distribution programs. In connection with the development of the regional partner program, the Company tested various aspects of the program by utilizing a F-22 dealership to which Mr. Chesrown, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has provided financing in the form of a $400,000 convertible promissory note. The note matures on May 1, 2019, interest is payable monthly at 5% per annum and can be converted into a 25% ownership interest in the Dealer at any time.

This amount is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For additional information, see Note 2— “Acquisitions.” In connection with the NextGen acquisition, the Company entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Halcyon Consulting, LLC (“Halcyon”), to provide development and support services to the Company. Mr. Kakarala currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Halcyon. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company will pay Halcyon hourly fees for specific services, set forth in the Services Agreement, and such fees may increase on an annual basis, provided that the rates may not be higher than 110% of the immediately preceding year’s rates. The Company will reimburse Halcyon for any reasonable travel and pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its services to the Company.

The Notes included an aggregate of $150,000 in original issue discount. Officers and directors held $1,214,144 of the Notes. On October 23, 2017, the Company completed a public offering and used $1,661,075 of the net proceeds of the offering for the repayment of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the termination of the Notes.

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 December 31, 2017 and 2016 we were not aware of any threatened or pending litigation. F-23 NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 16, 2018, the Company, through Borrower, entered into an Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Ally Bank, a Utah chartered state bank (“Ally Bank”) and Ally Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ally” together with Ally Bank, the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender may provide up to $25 million in financing, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of the Borrower from time to time, as part of its floorplan vehicle financing program. Advances under the Credit Facility require 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. 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. Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Credit Facility), the Lender may, at its option and without notice to the Borrower, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Lender and its affiliates by the Borrower and its affiliates. The Credit Facility is secured by a grant of a security interest in the vehicle inventory and other assets of the Borrower and payment is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty in favor of the Lender, and secured by the Company pursuant to a General Security Agreement.
