PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read this prospectus in its entirety before investing in our common stock, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

Prior to founding theMaven in 2016, its founding team worked on a variety of digital media platforms, with the common thread of achieving economies of scale by assembling a network of publishers, covering particular niche media interests, on a unified technology and business platform. One of the founders and the Chief Executive Officer of theMaven, Mr. James C. Heckman, created the first version of this model in 1991, leveraging early digital technology for NFL teams for “NFL Exclusive,” and later founded Rivals.com, which is still operated today by Yahoo!. theMaven’s founders have worked together since 1999, building many different socially focused, single platform media models, including Scout.com, Rivals.com, Rivals.net (Europe), Zazzle, and 5to1.com.

theMaven was founded as an entirely new enterprise to build and operate an exclusive network of professionally managed media channels and interest groups, each operated by a group of experts, reporters, group evangelists and social leaders as “Channel Partners.” These Channel Partners will be able to leverage theMaven’s proprietary, socially-driven, mobile-enabled, video-focused technology platform to engage niche audiences within a single network (“theMaven Platform”).

We believe that our media model will appeal to the users and subscribers of theMaven Platform in a way similar to how the model has previously appealed to sports fans in our founders’ previous ventures. We intend theMaven Platform to appeal to professional publishers who currently struggle to monetize on their existing platforms, or are operating with less-than-world-class features in one or more areas (mobile, video, community, etc.). Typically, only the largest national publishers are able to afford or recruit the level of technical expertise and achieve the scale that theMaven Network is seeking to have. We believe that we will be able to provide professional publishers with an ability to monetize their content that is superior to their current operations due to our economies of scale and proprietary experience in optimizing content and community interaction. The consumer-facing product of theMaven Platform will be made available on the web and as iOS (Apple) and Android mobile applications for multiple device form factors.

Our platform and media channel operations were launched in beta stage with eight initial channel partners on June 1, 2017. We do not expect to have any customers during the beta stage of our technology or at the commencement of business operations establishing a media audience.

The Preview Channels: Thirteen coalition partners are previewing theMaven platform, as of July 19 and are now in beta, with another several dozen to debut in later in the third quarter. These twelve channels are currently active and can be accessed by users. The content on our Channel Partners channel pages are not incorporated herein by reference.

Once full operations are launched in the third quarter, we believe that there will be two primary revenue sources, one of which will be online advertising and sponsorships and one of which will be paid memberships (subscriptions). Because we have not yet generated revenue, we do not have definitive estimates regarding the relative magnitude of advertising and membership revenue, although we expect that advertising will comprise the majority of our total revenues. We expect that advertising and sponsorships will be sold primarily by theMaven and/or major media partner(s), including trading desks on a programmatic basis, to companies to promote their brands, products and services, amplify their visibility and to target an audience based on the professionally managed media channels and interest groups on theMaven platform.

At this stage of the Company’s development, operations have primarily consisted of software development, building a list of selective, invite-only Channel Partners, reaching out to those Channel Partners for discussion, and launching the beta stage. Our immediate focus will be further development of the technology platform and continuing to grow the number of channel partners operating on theMaven platform. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, net cash used for operations and investing activities were $536,000 and $432,000, respectively. The aggregate net cash used of $968,000 is expected to continue at this level or more for at least the next several quarters as we continue further development and launch operations. We will seek additional capital late in 2017 or early 2018 in order to complete the initial stages of our business plan, however, we have not determined the amount of the capital raise required, the terms of any capital to be sought and have no agreements for any capital raise at this time.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus by theMaven, Inc. (“Parent”) and theMaven Network, Inc. (“Subsidiary”) (collectively “theMaven,” “Company” or “we”) contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and include, without limitation, statements concerning the Company’s business strategy, future revenues, market growth, capital requirements, product introductions and expansion plans and the adequacy of the Company’s funding. Other statements contained in this prospectus that are not historical facts are also forward-looking statements. The Company has tried, wherever possible, to identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and other comparable terminology.

The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this prospectus, or that the Company may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company. Such statements are based on assumptions, and the actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond the Company’s control or ability to predict. Although the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, the Company’s actual future results can be expected to differ from its expectations, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based only on known results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends. Certain risks are discussed in this prospectus and also from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

This prospectus and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks materialize, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

Because we are an early growth company, we face many obstacles as a new venture, and therefore we may never be able to fully execute our business plan. To date, our operations have focused on research and development and initial business development efforts. We have no revenues to date. If we are not able to develop our revenues, obtain additional capital as needed from time to time, and achieve market acceptance for our technology platform, we will have to reduce or curtail our business operations. In such case, investors will lose all or a portion of their investment.

Because our business and marketing plans may be unsuccessful, we may not be able to continue operations as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow that is sufficient to fund operations or finding adequate investment or borrowed capital to support our operations. To date we have relied entirely on equity financing and loans from our shareholders and related parties to fund our operations. Our platform and product development objectives and our business and marketing plans may not be successful in achieving a sustainable business and generating revenues. We have no arrangements in place for sufficient financing to be able to fully implement our business plan. If we are unable to continue as planned currently, we may have to curtail some or all of our business plan and operations. In such case, investors will lose all or a portion of their investment.

We currently have been generating operating losses, and we may never achieve profitability. We have had and we expect to continue to have losses in the near term and will rely on capital funding or borrowings to fund our operations. To date, capital funding has been limited in amount. We cannot predict whether or not we will ever become profitable or be able to continue to find capital to support our development and business plan.

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast whether or not our business will be successful. Since founding of theMaven in July 2016, the management team has focused entirely on the theMaven Platform development and product strategy, hiring technological talent, and signing channel partners. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history in the development stage and no market oriented operations; this limited operating experience makes it difficult to forecast our future operating results. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in an early stage of development and product introduction, particularly companies engaged in rapidly evolving technology offerings and markets. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing these risks and keeping pace with developments, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our operating results may be variable, and therefore our future prospects may be difficult for investors and analysis to assess. Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors. Due to the potential breadth of the markets in which we plan to deploy our platform and seek market acceptance and our limited operating history, we believe it will be difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results in our market launch phases. Factors that may slow or harm our business or cause our operating results to fluctuate include the following:

| • | The market acceptance of, and demand for, our products;

| • | Our inability to attract new Channel Partners and Internet unique visitors or maintain existing users satisfaction at a reasonable cost;

| • | The revenue based on our technology;

4

| • | Changes in alternative technologies, industry standards and customer or end user preferences;

| • | The length of our advertising and membership sales cycles;

| • | The timing of customer payments and payment defaults by customers;

| • | Our inability to attract and retain key personnel, including experienced software developers;

| • | A gain or loss of significant customers and publishers or their confidence in our platform;

| • | Software design, development and operational defects and other quality problems;

| • | Significant security breaches, technical difficulties, or interruptions to our technology platform;

| • | Economic conditions affecting our potential customers;

| • | Extraordinary expenses such as litigation;

| • | The number, timing and significance of product enhancements and new product introductions by competitors; and

| • | Our failure to increase sales and or penetrate new markets.

Any change in one or more of these factors, as well as others, could cause our annual or quarterly operating results to fluctuate. Any change in one or more of these factors could reduce our gross margins in future periods.

The market in which we participate is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed. There are many players in the digital media market. The market offerings range from groups of similar media to some that are unique, but quickly replicable. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, customer and user requirements and trends. With the introduction of new technologies, the evolution of our platform, and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. Some of our current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more rapidly than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. In addition, our customers and strategic partners may become competitors in the future. Certain of our competitors may be able to negotiate alliances with strategic partners on more favorable terms than we are able to negotiate. Pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses, or the failure of our platform to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

We are dependent upon the acceptance of theMaven platform. The market for our media platform is constantly evolving and is characterized by rapid change and competitor entrants. Our future operating results depend on the development and growth of the market for our media platforms. We intend to spend considerable resources educating potential channel partners and the ultimate users about our platforms. However, we cannot provide assurance that such expenditures will enable our platform to achieve or maintain any significant degree of market acceptance.

We may have difficulty managing our growth. As we approach the launch of our technology platform, we expect to add channel partner and end-user support capabilities, to continue software development activities and to expand our administrative operations. This expansion is expected to place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. To manage any further growth, we will be required to improve existing, and implement new, operational, customer service and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand, train and manage our growing employee base. We also will be required to expand our finance, administrative, technical and operations staff. There can be no assurance that our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our anticipated growth, that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or that our management will be able to successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business could be harmed.

5

The strategic relationships that we may be able to develop and on which we may come to rely may not be successful. We will seek to develop strategic relationships with advertising, media, technology and other companies to enhance the efforts of our market penetration, business development, and advertising sales revenues. These relationships are expected to, but may not, succeed. There can be no assurance that these relationships will develop and mature, or that potential competitors will not develop more substantial relationships with attractive partners. Our inability to successfully implement our strategy of building valuable strategic relationships could harm our business.

If our efforts to attract and retain users are not successful, our business will be adversely affected. We are currently developing our platforms and do not yet have any users of our services. In the future, our ability to attract users will depend in part on our ability to provide our users with unique and focused content choices. The relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of competitors to our service and products may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain users. If users do not perceive our service offering to be of value, we may not be able to attract and retain users and may not be able to get any revenue from paid membership. Furthermore, if we cannot build a meaningful membership base, we may not be able to engender interest from potential advertisers and generate any revenue from advertising and sponsorship. Even if we can successfully attract users to subscribe for our services, users will be able to cancel our service for many reasons. We must continually add new users both to replace canceled memberships and to grow our business beyond the then current user base. If we are unable to successfully attract users, our business will be adversely affected.

The sales and payment cycle for online advertising is long, and such sales may not occur when anticipated or at all. The decision process is typically lengthy for brand advertisers and sponsors to commit to online campaigns. Some of their budgets are planned a full year in advance. The decision process for such purchases is subject to delays and aspects that are beyond our control. In addition, some advertisers and sponsors take months after the campaign runs to pay, and some may not pay at all, or require partial “make-goods” based on performance. As we have not commenced substantive approaches to the Channel Partners, we cannot yet determine the terms of use they will demand or their payment behavior. Any delay or loss in sales of online advertising could adversely affect our operating results.

The sales cycle for paid memberships may be longer than currently anticipated. We anticipate selling the memberships directly to consumers via online methodologies. It may take longer than we currently anticipate to start generating a significant volume of subscribers. We understand that we will have to convince consumers to purchase memberships, which in turn will depend on their perception of the value provided by our channel partners’ content and communities. Such value perception is subject to aspects that are beyond our control. Sales will usually be through online credit card transactions; these types of transactions are subject to chargebacks and cancellations that may reduce revenues. Any delay in generating membership sales or losses in sales of online memberships could adversely affect our operating results.

We are dependent on the continued services and on the performance of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers, such as Messrs. Heckman, Sornsin, Joldersma, Jacobs and Heimbigner or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Although we have employment contracts with our key personnel, these are at will employment agreements, albeit with non-competition and confidentiality provisions and other rights typically associated with employment agreements. We also depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, operational, business development and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. The failure to attract and retain necessary skilled personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our revenues could decrease if our platforms do not operate as intended. Our platform technologies will perform complex functions and are vulnerable to undetected errors or unforeseen defects that could result in a failure to operate or inefficiency. There can be no assurance that errors and defects will not be found in current or new products or, if discovered, that we will be able to successfully correct them in a timely manner or at all. The occurrence of errors and defects could result in loss of or delay in revenue, loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, increased development costs, diversion of development resources and injury to our reputation or damage to our efforts to build brand awareness.

6

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure may adversely affect our business and operating results. Our growth will depend in part on the ability of our users and channel partners to access our technology platform at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. We believe that our platform is proprietary, and we rely on the expertise of members of our engineering, operations, and software development teams for their continued performance. It is possible that once theMaven platforms are up and running, we may experience performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing our platform software simultaneously, denial of service attacks, or other security related incidents. Until we have operating experience, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of any performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may be that it will be difficult to maintain and/or improve our performance, especially during peak usage times and as our platform becomes more complex and our user traffic increases. If our platform software is unavailable or if our users are unable to access it within a reasonable amount of time or at all, our business would be negatively affected. Therefore, in the event of any of the factors described above, or certain other failures of our infrastructure, partner or user data may be permanently lost. Moreover, we expect our channel partner agreements to include service level standards that obligate us to provide credits or termination rights in the event of a significant disruption in our platform. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

We intend to operate our exclusive network of professional-managed online media channels on third party cloud platforms and data center hosting facilities. We will rely on software and services licensed from, and cloud platforms provided by, third parties in order to offer our digital media services. Any errors or defects in third-party software or cloud platforms could result in errors in, or a failure of, our digital media services, which could harm our business. Any damage to, or failure of, these third-party systems generally could result in interruptions in the availability of our digital media services. As a result of this third-party reliance, we may experience the aforementioned issues, which could cause us to render credits or pay penalties, could cause channel partners to terminate their contractual arrangements with us, and could adversely affect our ability to grow our audience of unique visitors, all of which could reduce our ability to generate revenue. Our business would also be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our product and services offerings are unreliable.

Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our technology platforms could adversely affect our operating results and growth prospects. Because our technology platform will be complex, undetected errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may occur, especially when updates are deployed. Despite testing by us, errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may not be found in our technology platform until after they are deployed to our customers. We expect from time to time to discover software errors, failures, vulnerabilities, and bugs in our technology platforms and anticipate that certain of these errors, failures, vulnerabilities, and bugs will only be discovered and remediated after deployment to channel partners and used by subscribers. Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our software could result in negative publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our technology platforms, loss of competitive position, or claims by channel partners or subscribers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem.

If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with channel partners and publishers, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. We believe that growth in our business is dependent upon identifying, developing, and maintaining strong relationships with channel partners that can drive substantial revenue by delivering strong content and communities to end users. If we fail to identify channel partners that provide the right content and foster the communities we need for growth and branding, in a timely and cost-effective manner, or at all, or are unable to assist our channel partners in delivering great content and communities that drive both advertising and membership and subscription revenue, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. If our channel partners do not effectively deliver great content and communities, or fail to meet the needs of end users, our reputation and ability to grow our business may also be adversely affected.

If the protection of trademark, brands and other proprietary rights is inadequate, we could lose our proprietary right, suffer a diminution of reputations and experience a loss of revenues. Our success significantly depends on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure and invention assignment agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary technology. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy portions of our products or reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that our platforms will be protectable by patents, but if they are, any efforts to obtain patent protection that is not successful may harm our business in that others will be able to use our technologies. For example, previous disclosures or activities unknown at present may be uncovered in the future and adversely impact any patent rights that we may obtain. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, copyrights and similar proprietary rights. If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our IP rights, those proceedings could be expensive and time-consuming and could distract our management from our business operations.

The brand “TheMaven®” and any related trademarks will be an important part of our sales effort. We believe that establishing and maintaining the “TheMaven®” brand name and any related trade and service marks will be important to our success and crucial in gaining new users and new channel partners and publishers. The importance of brand recognition may increase as a result of established and new competitors offering service and products similar to ours. To the extent we are able, with our limited funding and personnel, we intend to increase our marketing and branding expenditures in an effort to increase awareness of “TheMaven®” brand. If our brand-building strategy is unsuccessful, these expenses may never be recovered, we may be unable to obtain sponsorships or generate any revenue, and our business could be harmed.

Intellectual property claims against us can be costly and could impair our business. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims of infringement against us, or whether any future assertions or prosecutions will harm our business. Although we take significant steps to make sure that our technologies do not infringe on the rights of others, as our employees have worked in our industry for many years, there is always the possibility that another person or company may assert that we have built on their proprietary rights. If we are forced to defend against any such claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor, we may face costly litigation, diversion of technical and management personnel, or product launch delays, any of which could adversely impact our business. As a result of such a dispute, we may have to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If there is a successful claim of intellectual property infringement against us and we are unable to develop non-infringing technology or to license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, our business could be impaired.

We will be subject to a wide range of privacy laws and other internet laws. A number of government authorities, both in the United States and abroad, and private parties are increasing their focus on privacy issues, the use of personal information, market collection data and activities that might be considered spam. Enforcement may be by state attorney general offices and federal prosecutors acting under a wide range of state and federal laws about privacy, data collection and use of the internet in certain ways, some of which laws may be applicable to us through our users and clients, such as our advertisers, within our communities. Some laws require encryption systems which may make our operations more costly to develop and monitor for continuing compliance. Overall, all of these laws will require substantial compliance efforts, which will be at an economic cost to us. If we violate these laws, we may be subject to monetary penalties and other civil fines. Some statutes may have criminal liability associated with violations. These laws are under constant review and amendment or addition as issues are seen to develop as the internet continues to become a more active part of the way we do business and interact. Our business could be adversely affected if there are new laws and regulations or decisions that are restrictive or impose difficult or expensive operations processes regarding the storage, transmission, use and/or disclosure of personal information and use of the social media aspects of our platforms and products or otherwise affect our users, advertisers and media partners. We cannot currently indicate what new legislation or regulation that might be that would impose new or additional technology requirements on us, limit our ability to collect, transmit, store and use the information, or if government authorities or private parties challenge our privacy and business practices.

8

Prior employers of our employees may assert violations of past employment arrangements. Our employees are highly experienced, partly because they have worked in our industry for many years; prior employers may try to assert that our employees are breaching restrictive covenants and other limitations imposed by past employment arrangements. We believe that all of our employees are free to work for us in their various capacities and have not breached past employment arrangements. Notwithstanding our care in our employment practices, a prior employer may assert a claim. Such claims will be costly to contest and highly disruptive to our work environment, and may result in a detrimental effect on our operations.

Our products may require availability of components or known technology from third parties and their non-availability can impede our growth. We license/buy certain technology integral to our products from third parties, including open-source and commercially available software. Our inability to acquire and maintain any third-party product licenses, or integrate the related third-party products into our products in compliance with license arrangements, could result in delays in product development until equivalent products can be identified, licensed and integrated. We also expect to require new licenses in the future as our business grows and technology evolves. We cannot provide assurance that these licenses will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Government regulations may increase our costs of doing business. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to online media, communities, commerce, security and privacy could harm our business, operating results and financial condition by increasing our costs and administrative burdens. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, security, libel, consumer protection and taxation apply. Laws and regulations directly applicable to Internet activities are becoming more diverse and prevalent in all global markets. We must comply with regulations in the United States, as well as any other regulations adopted by other countries where we may do business. The growth and development of Internet content, commerce and communities may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, privacy laws and data protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, as well as new laws governing the taxation of these activities. Compliance with any newly adopted laws may prove difficult for us and may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We will require additional capital in the future, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our offerings and competing technological and market developments. We will to need to raise funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such funding, will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Furthermore, any equity financing will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility with respect to certain business matters. Strategic arrangements may require us to relinquish our rights or grant licenses to some or substantial parts of our intellectual property. If funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share, and such equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our existing capital stock. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue operating, develop or enhance products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Management has the right to vote a substantial amount of the Common Stock, and will be able to influence the business of the Company. Management, including the directors and officers of the Company, beneficially own about 13,511,714 shares of Common Stock, representing about 50% of the Common Stock. As a result of this amount of ownership, management will be able to influence the election of directors and will be able to influence the business plan and overall business direction of the Company.

There is not an active market for the Common Stock. We provide no assurances of any kind or nature whatsoever that an active market for the Common Stock will ever develop. There has been no sustained activity in the market for the Common Stock. Investors should understand that there may be no alternative exit strategy for them to recover or liquidate their investments in the Common Stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to bear the entire economic risk of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time. If an active market ever develops for the Common Stock, we anticipate that our then financial condition, platform and product offerings, and our roll out strategy and implementation will greatly impact the market value of the Common Stock. The market value at any point in time may not reflect the value of the business or our business prospects.

9

There may be no liquid market for our Common Stock. Even if a trading market develops over time, we cannot predict how liquid that market might become. The trading price of the Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

These factors include:

| • | Quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;

| • | Announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new products and services, significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments;

| • | Disruption or substantive changes to our operations;

| • | Variations in our sales and earnings from period to period;

| • | Commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;

| • | Any major change in our board or management;

| • | Changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals; and

| • | General market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our own operating performance.

In addition, the stock market in general experiences price and volume fluctuations that often are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of public companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of the Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This type of litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States securities laws, which will require expenditure of capital and other resources. We are a public reporting company subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other federal securities laws, including, without limitation, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Sarbanes”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be substantially higher than they would otherwise be if we were privately-held. It will be difficult, costly, and time-consuming for us to develop and implement internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes, and we will require additional staff and third-party assistance to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and procedures. If we fail to or are unable to comply with Sarbanes, we will not be able to obtain independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

Investor confidence and market price of our shares may be adversely impacted because we are unable to attest to the adequacy of the internal controls over our financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The SEC, as directed by Section 404 of Sarbanes, adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management of their internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting. We have reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that management concluded there is a material weakness in our internal controls and procedures. The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in our financial reporting process and our utilization of outside third party consultants. We do not have a separately designated audit committee. These weaknesses are also due to our lack of additional accounting and operational staff. To remedy this material weakness, we plan to engage an internal accounting staff to assist with financial reporting.

10

We may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms or securities analysts in our efforts to raise capital. In due course, we plan to seek to have the Common Stock quoted on a national securities exchange in the United States. There can be no assurance that we will be able to garner a quote for the Common Stock on an exchange. Even if we are successful in doing so, security analysts and major brokerage houses may not provide coverage of us. We may also not be able to attract any brokerage houses to conduct secondary offerings with respect to our securities.

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules as our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced. If a trading market does develop for our stock, it is likely that our stock will be subject to the regulations applicable to "Penny Stock." The regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act that require additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The SEC regulations define penny stocks to be any non-exchange equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Unless an exception is available, those regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a standardized risk disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the purchaser’s account, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage market investor interest in and limit the marketability of the Common Stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy the Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Because future sales by our stockholders could cause the stock price to decline, our investors may lose money on their investment in our stock. No predictions can be made of the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of the Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of significant amounts of the Common Stock could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common stock, as well as impair our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity securities.

Risks Relating to the Offering by the Selling Stockholders

We may become obligated to pay liquidated damages if we fail to file, obtain effectiveness and maintain effectiveness of a registration statement under a registration rights agreement we entered into with the selling stockholders.

We have granted to the selling stockholders resale registration rights pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement. In addition to the registration rights, the selling stockholders are entitled to receive liquidated damages upon the occurrence of a number of events relating to filing, becoming effective and maintaining an effective registration statement covering the securities being registered. The liquidated damages will be payable upon the occurrence of each of those events and each monthly anniversary thereof until cured. The amount of liquidated damages payable per monthly period is equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each selling stockholder, provided, however, the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a selling stockholder is 7.5% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by a selling stockholder pursuant to the private placement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

2017 Private Placement Financing

On April 4, 2017, we closed on securities purchase agreements with 25 purchasers (the “Investors”), which provided for the sale by us of an aggregate of 3,765,000 shares of our common stock, at a price of $1.00 per share.

In connection with the private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated April 4, 2017, with the Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale by the Investors the shares of common stock purchased by them pursuant to the purchase agreements. We have committed to file the registration statement no later than 45 days after the closing and to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than the earlier of (i) seven business days after the SEC informs us that no review of the registration statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on the registration statement or (ii) July 30, 2017. The registration rights agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including our failure to file the registration statement or cause it to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of liquidated damages payable to an Investor would be 1% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period, or pro rata portion thereof, during which the default continues, up to a maximum amount of 7.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor. We filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the SEC pursuant to the registration rights agreement.

MDB Capital Group LLC acted as placement agent in the financing. For its services as placement agent, we agreed to pay to MDB Capital Group LLC a cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from the private placement and issue 162,000 shares of our common stock. MDB Capital Group LLC is a selling stockholder.

2016 Share Exchange

On October 14, 2016, Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with theMaven Network, Inc., and the shareholders of theMaven Network, holding all of the issued and outstanding shares of theMaven Network. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Christopher Marlett, Robert Levande and Peter Mills, all then directors of the Company, and Gary Schuman, the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer, were granted, piggyback registration rights, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 4, 2016, to permit them to have their securities included in a registration statement for resale by the them when filed by the Company.

Selling Stockholder Table

The following table sets forth for each selling stockholder, the name, the number and percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of July 19, 2017, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus and the number and percentage of shares of common stock that would be beneficially owned after the sale of the maximum number of shares of common stock, and is based upon information provided to us by each selling stockholder for use in this prospectus. The information presented in the table is based on 25,983,461 shares of our common stock outstanding on July 19, 2017.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

| • | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

| • | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

| • | privately negotiated transactions;

| • | short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

| • | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

| • | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

BUSINESS

The Company is developing an exclusive network of professionally-managed online media channels, based on a Company developed technology platform. Each channel will be operated by an “invite only” “Channel Partner” drawn from subject matter experts, reporters, group evangelists and social leaders. As of July 19, 2017 we have signed agreements with fifty-five (55) Channel Partners. As further described below in the Business Overview section we are in the process of beta testing with an initial eight Channel Partners. We plan to advance to full operations in the third quarter. Channel Partners will publish content and oversee an online community for their respective channels, leveraging the Company’s proprietary, socially-driven, mobile-enabled, video-focused technology platform to engage niche audiences within a single network. Our approach to the selection and invitation of Channel Partners is to identify, through proprietary online and offline methods, leading experts or mavens, in particular categories of interest to users/consumers. Given the expertise of the founding team with similar social media focused platforms, the Company has developed a set of proprietary criteria against which we evaluate whether a prospective Channel Partner will likely be a good fit for optimization on theMaven Network.

We operate a website at www.themaven.net. The information contained on our official website and information about the Company on any other personal, viral, social network informational websites or software applications, will not constitute part of this prospectus.

The shares of Common Stock are traded in the over-the-counter market (OTCQB), under the trading symbol “MVEN.” Historically the frequency of trades and the volume of trading has been low, and there can be no assurance that an active or sustained public market for our shares will develop.

Corporate History

Our Subsidiary, theMaven Network, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2016 (“Inception”), under the name “Amplify Media, Inc.” On July 27, 2016, the corporate name was amended to “Amplify Media Network, Inc.” and on October 14, 2016, the corporate name was changed to “theMaven Network, Inc.”

theMaven, Inc., the parent company, was formerly known as Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Integrated”). From June 2007 until November 4, 2016, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the SEC. On August 11, 2016, Integrated entered into a loan to Subsidiary that provided initial funding totaling $735,099 for the Subsidiary’s operations. On October 14, 2016 Integrated entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Share Exchange Agreement”) with the Subsidiary and the shareholders of the Subsidiary holding all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary (collectively, “Subsidiary Shareholders”). The Share Exchange Agreement was amended on November 4, 2016, to include certain newly issued shares of the Subsidiary in the transaction and make related changes to the agreement and the Share Exchange was consummated. The transaction resulted in the Company acquiring Subsidiary by the exchange of all of the outstanding shares of Subsidiary for 12,517,152 newly issued shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value ( “Common Stock”) of Parent, representing approximately 56.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the transaction. We refer to this transaction as the “Recapitalization.” The Recapitalization was consummated on November 4, 2016, as a result of which theMaven Network, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrated (“Closing”). The note payable between Integrated and Subsidiary was an interdependent transaction with the Recapitalization and was ultimately cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization. On December 2, 2016, Integrated amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from “Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.” to “theMaven, Inc.”

Our executive offices are located at 2125 Western Avenue, Suite 502, Seattle, WA 98121. At this location we also carry out the software development and other operational activities of the Company. The current telephone number is (775) 600-2765.

Recapitalization Accounting

From June 2007 until the closing of the Recapitalization, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the SEC and, accordingly, the Recapitalization was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization rather than a business combination. As the Subsidiary is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes under reverse recapitalization accounting, the Company’s financial statements are presented as a continuation of Subsidiary, and the accounting for the Recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of Parent as of the Closing accompanied by a recapitalization. In making the accounting conclusion the primary factor was determining which party, directly or indirectly holds greater than 50 percent of the voting shares has control and considered to be the acquirer. Because the former shareholders of the Subsidiary received 56.7 percent voting control of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company after the transaction, the transaction was considered to be a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes. Other factors that indicated that the control of the Company after the transaction included, (1) fully diluted equity interests, (2) composition of senior management, (3) former officers of the Parent ceded day-to-day responsibilities to officers of the Subsidiary, and (4) composition of Board of Directors. On a fully diluted basis, the former shareholders of the Subsidiary received 53.5 percent of the equity interests in the Company. All the members of senior management of the Company, other than the part-time Chief Financial Officer, were former shareholders of the Subsidiary. The former officers of the non-active shell ceded day-to-day management to officers of the Subsidiary. The Board of Directors, immediately after the Recapitalization included three members from the Parent, of which two were associated with the investment banking firm MDB Capital and one was an independent director, and two members from the Subsidiary. Because the former shareholders of the Subsidiary did not have any voting restrictions, they could vote to make changes in the Board composition. As such, the conclusion was that control of the Board, in substance, was vested in the former shareholders of the Subsidiary.”

theMaven Overview

theMaven Business

Prior to founding theMaven in 2016, its founding team worked on a variety of digital media platforms, with the common thread of achieving economies of scale by assembling a network of publishers, covering particular niche media interests, on a unified technology and business platform. One of the founders and the Chief Executive Officer of theMaven, Mr. James C. Heckman, created the first version of this model in 1991, leveraging early digital technology for NFL teams for “NFL Exclusive,” and later founded Rivals.com, which is still operated today by Yahoo!. theMaven’s founders have worked together since 1999, building many different socially focused, single platform media models, including Scout.com, Rivals.com, Rivals.net (Europe), Zazzle, and 5to1.com.

theMaven was founded as an entirely new enterprise to build and operate an exclusive network of professionally managed media channels and interest groups, each operated by a group of experts, reporters, group evangelists and social leaders as “Channel Partners.” These Channel Partners will be able to leverage theMaven’s proprietary, socially-driven, mobile-enabled, video-focused technology platform to engage niche audiences within a single network (“theMaven Platform”).

We believe that our media model will appeal to the users and subscribers of theMaven Platform in a way similar to how the model has previously appealed to sports fans in our founders’ previous ventures. We intend theMaven Platform to appeal to professional publishers who currently struggle to monetize on their existing platforms, or are operating with less-than-world-class features in one or more areas (mobile, video, community, etc.). Typically, only the largest national publishers are able to afford or recruit the level of technical expertise and achieve the scale that theMaven Network is seeking to have. We believe that we will be able to provide professional publishers with an ability to monetize their content that is superior to their current operations due to our economies of scale and proprietary experience in optimizing content and community interaction. The consumer-facing product of theMaven Platform will be made available on the web and as iOS (Apple) and Android mobile applications for multiple device form factors.

Our platform and media channel operations were launched in beta stage with eight initial channel partners on June 1, 2017. We do not expect to have any customers during the beta stage of our technology or at the commencement of business operations establishing a media audience.

The Preview Channels: Thirteen coalition partners are previewing theMaven platform, as of July 19 and are now in beta, with another several dozen to debut in later in the third quarter. These eight channels are currently active and can be accessed by users. The content on our Channel Partners channel pages are not incorporated herein by reference.

Once full operations are launched in the third quarter, we believe that there will be two primary revenue sources, one of which will be online advertising and sponsorships and one of which will be paid memberships (subscriptions). Because we have not yet generated revenue, we do not have definitive estimates regarding the relative magnitude of advertising and membership revenue, although we expect that advertising will comprise the majority of our total revenues. We expect that advertising and sponsorships will be sold primarily by theMaven and/or major media partner(s), including trading desks on a programmatic basis, to companies to promote their brands, products and services, amplify their visibility and to target an audience based on the professionally managed media channels and interest groups on theMaven platform.

At this stage of the Company’s development, operations have primarily consisted of software development, building a list of selective, invite-only Channel Partners, reaching out to those Channel Partners for discussion, and launching the beta stage. Our immediate focus will be further development of the technology platform and continuing to grow the number of channel partners operating on theMaven platform. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, net cash used for operations and investing activities were $536,000 and $432,000, respectively. The aggregate net cash used of $968,000 is expected to continue at this level or more for at least the next several quarters as we continue further development and launch operations. We will seek additional capital late in 2017 or early 2018 in order to complete the initial stages of our business plan, however, we have not determined the amount of the capital raise required, the terms of any capital to be sought and have no agreements for any capital raise at this time.

Technology and Intellectual Property

theMaven Platform, which is currently in beta stage and subject to ongoing development, incorporates state-of-the-art mobile, video, communications, social, notifications and other technology, including modern DevOps processes with continuous integration/continuous deployment and an entirely cloud-based back-end. theMaven platform will be designed to operate on (1) smart phone sized mobile devices, (2) tablet sized mobile devices and (3) full desktop sized devices. We are targeting mobile devices with both a web browser application (currently in beta) and native applications for both iOS and Android (anticipated later in 2017). It has been an industry trend that media applications, such as theMaven Network, are increasingly accessed by users on mobile devices. Thus, we expect that over time that mobile will be the primary way consumers/users access our media channels.

We believe that innovation is one of the keys to its competitiveness and will be necessary for future sustained growth. Currently, theMaven relies on the confidentiality of its operations, proprietary know-how and business secrets. All theMaven employees have entered into confidentiality agreements and it considers its employees’ work to be proprietary and owned by theMaven. There can be no assurance that theMaven will be able to enforce its rights if its intellectual property is improperly taken by theMaven’s employees or adopted by its competitors without the approval of theMaven.

The competitive position of theMaven may be seriously damaged if it cannot maintain and obtain patent protection for important differentiating aspects of its products or otherwise protect its intellectual property rights in its technology. theMaven relies on a combination of contracts, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect its proprietary rights in its technology. However, it may not be able to prevent misappropriation of its intellectual property, its competitors may be able to independently develop similar technology and the agreements it enters into to protect its proprietary rights may not be enforceable.

18

In the future, when necessary and where practical, we will take additional steps to protect our intellectual property interests under the laws of the United States and the jurisdictions in which we operate. As the business develops, we plan to develop specific trademarks for our products and seek registration of those marks with government authorities for their protection. We also plan to seek opportunities to obtain patent protection. We do not currently hold any patents.

The Company has a federally registered trademark for the Company’s name, “theMaven”; US TM App. No. 87/196,910, Filing Date: October 7, 2016 (serial number 87196910).

Seasonality

Once we are providing services to our customer base, we expect to experience typical media company ad and sponsorship sales seasonality, which is strong in the fourth quarter and slower in the first quarter.

Competition

Currently we believe that there are dozens of competitors delivering niche media content on the web and on mobile devices. All those competitors use mobile alerts, invest heavily in video and leverage social media. We believe that theMaven has developed distribution, production and technology tactics that are superior because our tactics in the past have proven to be highly engaging and effective for our particular model, which organizes channels into interest groups, led by its expert partners – the Channel Partners.

The web provides unlimited access to the market by niche or general media companies, so there are a large number and variety of direct competitors of theMaven competing for audience and ad and sponsorship dollars. The general business of online media, combined with some level or method of leveraging community attracts many potential entrants, and in the future there may be strong competitors that will compete with theMaven in general or in selected markets. These and other companies may be better financed and be able to develop their markets more quickly and penetrate those market more effectively. Below is a list of possible competitors and categories:

| • | Vice – niche content, leveraging social, mobile and video

| • | Buzzfeed – socially enabled content

| • | Business Insider – expert, niche content, leveraging social, mobile and video

| • | WordPress, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook – open platform to all, also includes experts and professionals

| • | Medium - publishing

| • | Reddit – community, UBC focused, including delivery of niche content

| • | Affiliate “networks” such as Liberty Alliance – publishing, advertising

| • | Fortune, CNN, Yahoo!, Google, et al - all major media companies are investing in deep content for users and leveraging social media in their own way, to reach and engage users more effectively.

We anticipate that theMaven will compete on the basis of its technology, ease of use, value delivered to both consumers and Channel Partners, and platform evolution through a continuing development program. We believe that theMaven methods, technology and experience will enable it to compete for a material amount of market share of media dollars and subscription revenue. We also believe theMaven will rapidly establish a reputation for its business, distribution and technology methods within selected initial markets, which can be enhanced over time as theMaven gains customer awareness and channel partner success. Concurrent with the growth of its customer base, we believe theMaven will develop brand awareness, which translates to sponsorship support, and will obtain data from its users that will allow theMaven to expand our content and advertising offerings.

Research and Development

We believe that innovation is one of the keys to our competitiveness, and innovation will be necessary for future sustained growth. To the extent it is able, and given the limited financial resources at our disposal, the Company is investing in core technical competencies to be able to do more product development. Furthermore, we will file to protect our intellectual property in appropriate market segments.

In the period since Inception on July 22, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the Company has spent $951,887, including $207,217 of stock-based compensation, for software development, of which $540,146 was capitalized as Website Development Costs and $411,741 was expensed as Research and Development Costs. The Company expects that in future periods it will continue to use a substantial amount of its financial resources for software development of its platform and products. We will evaluate each reporting period the amount of software development that is capitalized as Website Development Costs and the amount expensed as Research and Development

Employees

As of July 19, 2017, the Company had twenty-five full-time employees, of which five were in senior executive positions, eleven were in software development, testing, and operations, six were in business and network development, two were in user experience and design and one in administration. None of the employees are covered by any collective bargaining agreement. In the future, theMaven expects to expand its management employees for financial compliance, and add operational employees as the channel partner network expands. Its future success will depend in part on its ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical and management personnel.

Government Regulations

Our operations, once commenced in the public sphere will be subject to a number of U.S. federal and state laws and regulations that involve privacy, rights of publicity, data protection, content regulation, intellectual property, or other subjects. Many of these laws and regulations are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations often are uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate.

A number of government authorities, both in the United States and abroad, and private parties are increasing their focus on privacy issues and the use of personal information. Most states have enacted some form of data privacy legislation, including data breach notification laws, and laws penalizing the misuse of personal information in violation of published privacy policies. Certain states have also enacted legislation requiring certain encryption technologies for the storage and transmission of personally identifiable information, including credit card information, and more states are considering laws for or have enacted laws about information security regulations and may require the adoption of written information security policies that are consistent with state laws if businesses have personal information of residents of their states. Data privacy and information security legislation also is being considered at the federal level, among other statutes and regulations concerning privacy of individuals and use of internet and market information. In the United States the FTC and attorneys general in several states have oversight of business operations concerning the use of personal information and breaches of the privacy laws under existing consumer protection laws. In particular, an attorney general or the FTC may examine privacy policies to ensure that a company fully complies with representations in the policies regarding the manner in which the information provided by consumers and other visitors to a website is used and disclosed by it and the failure to do so could give rise to a complaint under state or federal unfair competition or consumer protection laws. We will have to review our privacy policies and our overall operations on a regular basis to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state laws, and to the extent applicable, any foreign laws. Our business could be adversely affected if new regulations or decisions regarding the storage, transmission, use and/or disclosure of personal information are implemented in such ways that impose new or additional technology requirements on us, limit our ability to collect, transmit, store and use the information, or if government authorities or private parties challenge our privacy practices that result in restrictions on us, or we experience a significant data or information breach which would require public disclosure under existing notification laws and for which we may be liable for damages or penalties.

20

The United States Congress enacted the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM, regulating “commercial electronic mail messages” (i.e., e-mail), the primary purpose of which is to promote a product or service. The FTC has promulgated various regulations applying CAN-SPAM and has enforcement authority for violations of CAN-SPAM. Any entity that sends commercial e-mail messages for itself and clients, and those who re-transmit such messages, must adhere to the CAN-SPAM requirements. Violations of its provisions may result in civil money penalties and criminal liability. Compliance with these provisions may limit our ability to send certain types of e-mails on our own behalf and on behalf of our advertising clients. While we intend to operate our businesses in a manner that complies with the CAN-SPAM provisions, we may not be successful in so operating. If it turns out we have violated the provisions of CAN-SPAM we may face enforcement actions by the FTC or FCC or face civil penalties, either of which could adversely affect our business.

In addition to the federal CAN-SPAM regulations, many states have comparable legislation. There have been a number of cases brought as class actions based on the federal and state statutes. At the state level the courts have tended to decide in favor of the plaintiffs and awarded substantial damages. An award of damages, at either the federal or state level could have a detrimental impact on our financial results.

Social networking websites are under increasing scrutiny. Legislation has been introduced on the state and federal level that could regulate social networking websites. Some rules call for more stringent age-verification techniques, attempt to mandate data retention or data destruction by Internet providers, and impose civil and/or criminal penalties on owners or operators of social networking websites.

The FTC regularly considers issues relating to online behavioral advertising and has issued reports containing a new set of “guidelines” for industry self-regulation. The FTC’s reports and issue consideration may result in future regulation at the federal and state levels of the collection and use of online consumer data, which could potentially place restrictions on our ability to utilize our database and other marketing data on our own behalf and on behalf of our advertising clients, which may adversely affect our business.

Legislation concerning the above described online activities has either been enacted or is in various stages of development and implementation in other countries around the world and could affect our ability to make our websites available in those countries as future legislation is made effective. It is possible that state and foreign governments might also attempt to regulate our transmissions of content on our website or prosecute us for violations of their laws.

Governments of states or foreign countries might attempt to regulate our transmissions or levy sales or other taxes relating to our activities even though we do not have a physical presence and/or operate in those jurisdictions. As our platforms, products and advertisement activities are available over the Internet anywhere in the world, multiple jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each of those jurisdictions and pay various taxes in those jurisdictions.

Property

theMaven currently subleases approximately 2,900 square feet for its executive offices and operational facilities on a month-to-month basis at 2125 Western Avenue, Suite 502, Seattle, WA 98121. The annual lease payments aggregate to approximately $72,000. The Company believes that the rates it is paying under its property lease are competitive in the Seattle real estate market, and it would be able to find comparable lease properties in the event it changed locations.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that it believes would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

The Company was incorporated under the name of Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc. in Delaware in 1990. It was founded to design, manufacture, sell and service image-directed, computer-controlled robotic software and hardware products for use in orthopedic surgical procedures. On June 28, 2007, Integrated completed the sale of substantially all of its operating assets. After completion of the sale, the Integrated no longer engaged in any business activities and then sought to locate a suitable acquisition target to complete a business combination. From June 2007 until the closing of the Recapitalization on November 4, 2016, the Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the SEC. As a result of the Recapitalization, on a going forward basis, the Company will continue to file its public reports with the SEC on an operating company basis. On December 2, 2016, the corporate name was changed from “Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.” to “theMaven, Inc.”

theMaven Network, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2016, under the name “Amplify Media, Inc.” On July 27, 2016, the corporate name was amended to “Amplify Media Network, Inc.” and on October 14, 2016, the corporate name was changed to “theMaven Network, Inc.” theMaven Network, Inc. is a 100% owned subsidiary of the theMaven, Inc.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below.

The Company has not generated any operating revenues since July 22, 2016 (Inception) and has financed its operations through (i) the Recapitalization transaction with Parent, (ii) a loan from Parent that was cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization, and (iii) a private placement of common stock in April 2017. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since July 22, 2016 (Inception), and it expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next few years. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In April 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $3,765,000 in gross proceeds. The Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of the first quarter of 2018. In order to continue business operations past that point, the Company currently anticipates that it will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any additional financing on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. If cash resources become insufficient to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its technology development programs, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), or to discontinue its operations entirely.

We anticipate needing a substantial amount of additional capital to sustain our current operations and implement the current business plan of the Company as now budgeted. We do not believe that the proceeds of the private placement of common stock completed on April 4, 2017, will be sufficient to allow us to implement our business plan to the point where our revenues will cover our operating costs and the expansion of our offerings. Without additional funding, we will have to modify our longer-term business plan. The funds that we will need may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We anticipate thereafter that we will need additional capital as we expand our operations, and do not anticipate that our income will cover our full operating expenses for the foreseeable future. We have no contracts or arrangements for any additional funding at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any funding or will be able to meet our accrued obligations. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our business activities and our ability to raise capital from our shareholders or other sources.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We will pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Seasonality

Once we are actively providing services to our customer base, we expect to experience typical media company ad and sponsorship sales seasonality, which is strong in the fourth quarter and slower in the first quarter.

Effects of Inflation

To date inflation has not had a material impact on our business or operating results.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Subsidiary for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 and that of Integrated after the Closing (see Note 2). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

24

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Office equipment and computers | 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures | 5-8 years
Website development costs | 2-3 years

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets consist of the cost of a purchased website domain name with an indefinite useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets, consisting of fixed assets and intangible assets, held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. Management has determined that there was no impairment in the value of long-lived assets during the period ended December 31, 2016.

Website Development Costs

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize website and software development costs for internal use when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company places capitalized website and software development assets into service and commences depreciation/amortization when the applicable project or asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to capitalized website and software development assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality.

The Company capitalizes internal labor costs, including compensation, benefits and payroll taxes, incurred for certain capitalized website and software development projects related to the Company’s technology platform. The Company’s policy with respect to capitalized internal labor stipulates that labor costs for employees working on eligible internal use capital projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of the project when the impact, as compared to expensing such labor costs, is material.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred and amounted to $411,741 for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016.

25

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

| · | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

| · | Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3.

The carrying value of other current assets and liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains cash at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit throughout the year. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of (a) restricted stock awards to employees, (b) vested stock grants to directors, (c) stock option grants to employees, directors and independent contractors, and (d) common stock warrants to Channel Partners and other independent contractors.

The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock based compensation to employees and directors. The estimated fair value of stock based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 in 2016 with early application and account for actual forfeitures of awards as they occur.

The fair value of restricted stock awards by Subsidiary at Inception was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization.

Restricted stock that was subject to an escrow arrangement and/or a performance condition in conjunction with the Recapitalization was remeasured and fair value was estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the Recapitalization. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow.

The fair value of fully vested stock awards is estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life.

26

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” FASB ASC 505 -50 states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliability measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date). Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measured at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The fair value of common stock warrants is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform.

The Company issues common stock upon exercise of equity awards and warrants.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Deferred tax assets arising primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards, and research and development credit have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at December 31, 2016.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock, and warrants. Restricted stock is considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the shares are no longer forfeitable. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding restricted stock (which are forfeitable) are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where there is a net loss, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count. At December 31, 2016, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 14,510,126.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue to date. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

27

In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects, marketing and sales operations as well as extensive human capital. The Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company's industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company's products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or unmarketable. The Company's future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance its current technology under development.

Recently Adopted Standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-10). ASU 2014-15 provided guidance as to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In connection with preparing these consolidated financial statements management evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As fully described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of first quarter of 2018.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Management has adopted this standard early in 2016 and it did not have a material effect on the financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have any impact on Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 refines how companies classify certain aspects of the cash flow statement in regards to debt prepayment, settlement of debt instruments, contingent consideration payments, proceeds from insurance claims and life insurance policies, distribution from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. No early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on the financial statements and related disclosures.

28

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (ASC 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and most industry specific guidance. The standard's core principle is that revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The guidance in ASU 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. ASC 606 requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. ASC 606 also requires more extensive disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The FASB has also issued several additional ASUs which amend ASU 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606.

Public business entities are required to apply the guidance of ASC 606 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar year end reporting companies), including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has not yet estimated the financial statement impact of the expected changes. The Company will continue to assess the impact of ASC 606 as it works through the adoption in 2017.

Management believes that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2017

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

The Company was incorporated under the name of Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc. (“Integrated”) in Delaware in 1990. It was founded to design, manufacture, sell and service image-directed, computer-controlled robotic software and hardware products for use in orthopedic surgical procedures. On June 28, 2007, Integrated completed the sale of substantially all of its operating assets. After completion of the sale, the Integrated no longer engaged in any business activities and then sought to locate a suitable acquisition target to complete a business combination. From June 2007 until the closing of the Recapitalization (as defined in Note 2 of Item 1. Financial Statements) on November 4, 2016, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the SEC. As a result of the Recapitalization, on a going forward basis, the Company continued to file its public reports with the SEC on an operating company basis. On December 2, 2016, the corporate name was changed from “Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.” to “theMaven, Inc.”

theMaven Network, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2016, under the name “Amplify Media, Inc.” On July 27, 2016, the corporate name was amended to “Amplify Media Network, Inc.” and on October 14, 2016, the corporate name was changed to “theMaven Network, Inc.” theMaven Network, Inc. is a 100% owned subsidiary of the theMaven, Inc.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below.

The Company has not generated any operating revenues since July 22, 2016 (Inception) and has financed its operations through (a) the Recapitalization transaction with Parent, (b) a loan from Parent that was cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization, and (c) a private placement of common stock in April 2017. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since July 22, 2016 (Inception), and it expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next few years. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2016 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In April 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $3,765,000 in gross proceeds. The Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of the first quarter of 2018. In order to continue business operations past that point, the Company currently anticipates that it will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any additional financing on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. If cash resources become insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its technology development programs, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), or to discontinue its operations entirely.

30

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, total net loss was approximately $1,004,828 or $0.11 loss per basic and diluted share.

Research and development expenses |  | $ | 64,022 |
General and administrative expenses |  | $ | 947,970 |
Loss from operations |  | $ | (1,011,992 | )

Research and development expenses

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company spent $691,006 including $212,156 of stock-based compensation, for software development, of which $626,984 was capitalized as Website Development Costs incurred during the application development stage and $64,022 was expensed as Research and Development Costs. The Company was actively developing the software and the underlying technology platform for an exclusive network of professionally managed online media channels. As of March 31, 2017, the online media network had not launched and no capitalized Website Development Costs were amortized to expense.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $947,970 including primarily stock based compensation of $286,149, wages and benefits paid in cash of $279,275 and professional fees of $168,175. Our expenses are due to our general administrative expenses of carrying on a business, including administrative compensation, office space lease expenses, and legal and accounting expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

The Company had working capital of approximately $2.3 million as of March 31, 2017. This was an increase of approximately $2 million due to the receipt of gross proceeds of $3.5 million received during the quarter from the private placement, net of stock issuance costs and cash used in operations and for investment during the quarter.

|  | March 31, 2017 |  |  | December 31, 2016 |
Current Assets |  | $ | 3,230,210 |  |  | $ | 719,881 |
Current Liabilities |  | $ | (886,229 | ) |  | $ | (346,327 | )
Working Capital |  | $ | 2,343,981 |  |  | $ | 373,554 |

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2017:

|  | March 31, 2017 |
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities |  | $ | (535,471 | )
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities |  |  | (432,419 | )
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities |  |  | 3,483,935 |
Increase in Cash during the Period |  | $ | 2,516,045 |
Cash at Beginning of Period |  |  | 598,294 |
Cash at End of Period |  | $ | 3,114,339 |

31

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $535,471 which was due to the net loss reduced by non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation of approximately $286,000 and working capital changes of approximately $196,000 of expenses accrued and paid after the end of the quarter.

We anticipate needing a substantial amount of additional capital to sustain our current operations and implement the current business plan of the Company as now budgeted. We do not believe that the proceeds of the private placement of common stock completed on April 4, 2017, will be sufficient to allow us to implement our business plan to the point where our revenues will cover our operating costs and the expansion of our business offerings. Without additional funding, we will have to modify our longer-term business plan. The funds that we will need may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We anticipate thereafter that we will need additional capital as we expand our operations, and do not anticipate that our income will cover our full operating expenses for the foreseeable future. We have no contracts or arrangements for any additional funding at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any funding or will be able to meet our accrued obligations. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our business activities and our ability to raise capital from our shareholders or other sources.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We will pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Seasonality

Once we are actively providing services to our customer base, we expect to experience typical media company ad and sponsorship sales seasonality, which is strong in the fourth quarter and slower in the first quarter.

Effects of Inflation

To date inflation has not had a material impact on our business or operating results.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

32

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Subsidiary for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 and that of Integrated after the Closing of the Recapitalization. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Furniture and fixtures |  | 5-8 years
Website development costs |  | 2-3 years

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets consist of the cost of a purchased website domain name with an indefinite useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets, consisting of fixed assets and intangible assets, held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. Management has determined that there was no impairment in the value of long-lived assets during the period ended March 31, 2017.

33

Website Development Costs

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize website and software development costs for internal use when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company places capitalized website and software development assets into service and commences depreciation/amortization when the applicable project or asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to capitalized website and software development assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality.

The Company capitalizes internal labor costs, including compensation, benefits and payroll taxes, incurred for certain capitalized website and software development projects related to the Company’s technology platform. The Company’s policy with respect to capitalized internal labor stipulates that labor costs for employees working on eligible internal use capital projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of the project when the impact, as compared to expensing such labor costs, is material.

Research and Development Expenses

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company spent $691,006 including $212,156 of stock-based compensation of which $626,984 was capitalized as Website Development Costs incurred during the application development stage and $64,022 was expensed as Research and Development Costs.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

| · | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

| · | Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3.

The carrying value of other current assets and liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains cash at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit throughout the year. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of (a) restricted stock awards to employees, (b) vested stock grants to directors, (c) stock option grants to employees, directors and independent contractors, and (d) common stock warrants to Channel Partners and other independent contractors.

The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock based compensation to employees and directors. The estimated fair value of stock based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 in 2016 with early application and account for actual forfeitures of awards as they occur.

The fair value of restricted stock awards by Subsidiary at Inception was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization.

Restricted stock that was subject to an escrow arrangement and/or a performance condition in conjunction with the Recapitalization was remeasured and fair value was estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the Recapitalization. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow.

The fair value of fully vested stock awards is estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life.

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” FASB ASC 505 -50 states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliability measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date). Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measured at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The fair value of common stock warrants is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform.

The Company issues common stock upon exercise of equity awards and warrants.

35

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Deferred tax assets arising primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards, and research and development credit have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at March 31, 2017.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock, and warrants. Restricted stock is considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the shares are no longer forfeitable. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding restricted stock (which are forfeitable) are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where there is a net loss, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count. At March 31, 2017, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 16,439,723.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue to date. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects, marketing and sales operations as well as extensive human capital. The Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company’s products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or unmarketable. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance its current technology under development.

Recently Adopted Standards

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have any impact on Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have any impact on Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

36

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 refines how companies classify certain aspects of the cash flow statement in regards to debt prepayment, settlement of debt instruments, contingent consideration payments, proceeds from insurance claims and life insurance policies, distribution from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. No early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (ASC 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and most industry specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The guidance in ASU 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. ASC 606 requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. ASC 606 also requires more extensive disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The FASB has also issued several additional ASUs which amend ASU 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606.

Public business entities are required to apply the guidance of ASC 606 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar year end reporting companies), including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has not yet estimated the financial statement impact of the expected changes. The Company will continue to assess the impact of ASC 606 as it works through the adoption in 2017.

Management believes that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers, directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a class of the equity securities of the Company that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act within specified time periods to file certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of copies of the reports furnished to the Company and written representations from persons concerning the necessity to file these reports, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Company is not aware of any failure to file reports or report transactions in a timely manner.

Board; Committees of the Board of Directors; Financial Expert; and Independence

The board of directors is currently composed of six persons. The Company does not have securities listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system that has director independence or committee independence requirements. Accordingly, the Company is not required to comply with any director independence requirements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing lack of applicable independence requirements, the board of directors currently has two members that qualify as "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 5605 of The Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules. These persons are Mr. Ross Levinsohn, and Mr. Peter B. Mills.

We are not required to have and we do not have currently an Audit Committee. The Company's board of directors performs the same functions of an Audit Committee, including: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the financial statements; reviewing the auditors' independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

Although we do not have and are not required to have an Audit Committee, the directors have determined that Mr. Peter Mills qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” This director has financial statement preparation and interpretation ability obtained over the years from past business experience and education.

40

Our board of directors currently does not have nominating or compensation committees nor does it have a written nominating or compensation committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.

Code of Ethics

A Code of Ethics that applies to the executive officers and the other employees of the Company, was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors on April 8, 2004. Copies of the Code of Ethics may be obtained free of charge by written request to theMaven, Inc., attention Chief Financial Officer, 2125 Western Avenue, Suite 502, Seattle, WA 98121.

Conflict of Interest

We have not adopted any policies or procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of any transaction between the Company and any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director, 10% shareholder, or family member of such persons, required to be reported under paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that corporations may include a provision in their certificate of incorporation relieving directors of monetary liability for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition to the foregoing, our bylaws provide that we may indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law and we have agreed to provide such indemnification to each of our directors.

The above provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and in the written indemnity agreements may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders. However, we believe that the foregoing provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Equity Awards

The Company has adopted an equity award plan for the company and its subsidiaries, which will be used to supplement the cash compensation of its directors, officers, employees and consultants, so as to tie a portion of their compensation to the overall success of the Company. On December 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2016 Stock Option Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to a maximum of 1,670,867 shares of Common Stock. The Company has issued awards to its employees and consultants for up to 1,224,137 shares of common stock. The awards vest over three years, have a per share exercise price ranging from $1.02 per share to $1.23 per share, and expire during the period from December 28, 2026 to May 1, 2027. The shareholders have not yet approved this plan.

On December 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program to be administered by management that authorized the Company to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to warrants to provide equity incentive to its Channel Partners in order to motivate and reward them for their services to the Company and to align the interests of the Channel Partners with those of the stockholders of the Company. The Company in late December 2016 issued awards has issued awards to six of the Channel Partners for up to 350,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of. The awards vest over three years, have a per share exercise price ranging from $0.95 to $1.09 with a weighted average of $1.05, and expire in five years from issuance. From January 1, 2017 to May 5, 2017, the Company has issued warrants to Channel Partners for an additional 1,725,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $1.14 and ranging from $1.00 to $1.33. In addition to the three-year vesting condition, the warrants have performance conditions that determine how many warrants are earned. The performance conditions are generally based on the average number of unique visitors on the Channel operated by the Channel Partner or the revenue generated during the period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. These performance conditions do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance such that the fair value measure is not fixed until performance is complete as of December 31, 2017. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized. This program has not been approved by the shareholders of the Company.

44

In addition to the equity awards under the foregoing 2016 plan and Channel Partner program, the Company also has outstanding options not issued under any plan issued to directors to acquire 175,000 shares of common stock, which are fully vested, with an exercise price of $0.17 per share and expire on May 15, 2019.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

theMaven, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of theMaven, Inc. (formerly Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.) and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) through December 31, 2016. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) through December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a new business and has incurred losses from operations since Inception. The Company’s operations are dependent upon it raising additional funds through an equity offering or debt financing. The Company has no committed sources of capital and is not certain whether additional financing will be available when needed on terms that are acceptable, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

theMaven, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016

1. Nature of Operations

theMaven, Inc. (“Parent”) and theMaven Network, Inc. (“Subsidiary”) (collectively “theMaven” or the “Company”) are developing an exclusive network of professionally managed online media channels, with an underlying technology platform. Each channel will be operated by a “invite only” “Channel Partner” drawn from subject matter experts, reporters, group evangelists and social leaders. Channel Partners will publish content and oversee an online community for their respective channels, leveraging a proprietary, socially-driven, mobile-enabled, video-focused technology platform to engage niche audiences within a single network.

2. Basis of Presentation

theMaven Network, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2016, under the name “Amplify Media, Inc.” On July 27, 2016, the corporate name was amended to “Amplify Media Network, Inc.” and on October 14, 2016, the corporate name was changed to “theMaven Network, Inc.”.

theMaven, Inc. was formerly known as Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Integrated”). From June 2007 until November 4, 2016, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On August 11, 2016, Integrated entered into a loan to Subsidiary that provided initial funding totalling $735,099 for the Subsidiary’s operations. On October 14, 2016 Integrated entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Subsidiary and the shareholders of Subsidiary, holding all of the issued and outstanding shares of Subsidiary (collectively, “Subsidiary Shareholders”). The Share Exchange Agreement was amended on November 4, 2016 to include certain newly issued shares of Subsidiary in the transaction and make related changes to the agreement and the Share Exchange was consummated. The transaction resulted in Parent acquiring Subsidiary by the exchange of all of the outstanding shares of Subsidiary for 12,517,152 newly issued shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) of Parent, representing approximately 56.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the transaction. The transaction is referred to as the “Recapitalization.” The Recapitalization was consummated on November 4, 2016, as a result of which theMaven Network, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrated (the “Closing”). The note payable between Integrated and Subsidiary was an interdependent transaction with the Recapitalization and was ultimately cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization. On December 2, 2016, Integrated amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from “Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.” to “theMaven, Inc.”

From June 2007 until the closing of the Recapitalization, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the SEC and, accordingly, the Recapitalization was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization rather than a business combination. As the Subsidiary is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes under reverse recapitalization accounting, the Company’s financial statements are presented as a continuation of Subsidiary, and the accounting for the Recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of Parent as of the Closing accompanied by a recapitalization. See Note 9 for summary of the assets acquired, transaction costs and the consideration exchanged in the Recapitalization.

3. Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below.

The Company has not generated any operating revenues since July 22, 2016 (Inception) and has financed its operations through (a) the Recapitalization transaction with Parent, (b) a loan from Parent that was cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization and (c) a private placement of common stock in April 2017. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and it expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next few years. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

F-7

As fully described in Note 13, in April 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $3.5 million net of cash offering costs. The Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of the first quarter of 2018. In order to continue business operations past that point, the Company currently anticipates that it will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any such additional financing on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. If cash resources become insufficient to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company will be required to scale back or discontinue its technology development programs, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), or to discontinue its operations entirely.

4. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Subsidiary for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 and that of Integrated after the Closing (see Note 2). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Office equipment and computers | 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures | 5-8 years
Website development costs | 2-3 years

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets consist of the cost of a purchase website domain name with an indefinite useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets, consisting of fixed assets and intangible assets, held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. Management has determined that there was no impairment in the value of long-lived assets during the period ended December 31, 2016.

Website Development Costs

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize website and software development costs for internal use when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company places capitalized website and software development assets into service and commences depreciation/amortization when the applicable project or asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to capitalized website and software development assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality.

F-8

The Company capitalizes internal labor costs, including compensation, benefits and payroll taxes, incurred for certain capitalized website and software development projects related to the Company’s technology platform. The Company’s policy with respect to capitalized internal labor stipulates that labor costs for employees working on eligible internal use capital projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of the project when the impact, as compared to expensing such labor costs, is material.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred and amounted to $411,741 for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

| · | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

| · | Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3.

The carrying value of other current assets and liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains cash at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit throughout the year. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of (a) restricted stock awards to employees, (b) vested stock grants to directors, (c) stock option grants to employees, directors and independent contractors, and (d) common stock warrants to Channel Partners and other independent contractors.

F-9

The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock based compensation to employees and directors. The estimated fair value of stock based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 in 2016 with early application and account for actual forfeitures of awards as they occur.

The fair value of restricted stock awards by Subsidiary at Inception was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization.

Restricted stock that was subject to an escrow arrangement and/or a performance condition in conjunction with the Recapitalization was remeasured and fair value was estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the Recapitalization. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow.

The fair value of fully vested stock awards is estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life.

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” FASB ASC 505 -50 states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliability measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date). Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measured at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The fair value of common stock warrants is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform.

The Company issues common stock upon exercise of equity awards and warrants.

F-10

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Deferred tax assets arising primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards, and research and development credit have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at December 31, 2016.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock, and warrants. Restricted stock is considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the shares are no longer forfeitable. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding restricted stock (which are forfeitable) are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where there is a net loss, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count. At December 31, 2016, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 14,510,126.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue to date. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects, marketing and sales operations as well as extensive human capital. The Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company's industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company's products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or unmarketable. The Company's future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance its current technology under development.

Recently Adopted Standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-10). ASU 2014-15 provided guidance as to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In connection with preparing these consolidated financial statements management evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As fully described in Note 3, the Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of first quarter of 2018.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Management has adopted this standard early in 2016 and it did not have a material effect on the financial statements and related disclosures.

F-11

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have any impact on Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 refines how companies classify certain aspects of the cash flow statement in regards to debt prepayment, settlement of debt instruments, contingent consideration payments, proceeds from insurance claims and life insurance policies, distribution from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. No early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (ASC 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and most industry specific guidance. The standard's core principle is that revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The guidance in ASU 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. ASC 606 requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. ASC 606 also requires more extensive disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

F-12

The FASB has also issued several additional ASUs which amend ASU 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606.

Public business entities are required to apply the guidance of ASC 606 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar year end reporting companies), including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has not yet estimated the financial statement impact of the expected changes. The Company will continue to assess the impact of ASC 606 as it works through the adoption in 2017.

Management believes that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

5. Fixed Assets

At December 31, 2016, fixed assets, net consisted of the following:

Office equipment and computers |  | $ | 8,048 |
Website development costs |  |  | 540,146 |
|  |  | 548,194 |
Accumulated depreciation and amortization |  |  | (390 | )
Fixed assets, net |  | $ | 547,804 |

At December 31, 2016, the Company has not yet launched its website and accordingly no amortization of capitalized website development cost was recorded during the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016.

6. Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company maintained an investment portfolio consisting of available-for-sale-securities during the period ended December 31, 2016, which it had acquired through the Recapitalization. All available-for-sale-securities either matured or were liquidated prior to December 31, 2016.

7. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized 1,000,000 shares of undesignated, serial preferred stock. Preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and designation of any such series without any further vote or action by the Company’s stockholders.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s only outstanding series of convertible preferred stock is the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G”).

The Series G stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share, and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest sale price of the common stock on its quoted/listed market over the five trading days preceding the date of conversion ("Beneficial Conversion Feature"), subject to a maximum conversion price. The number of shares of common stock that may be converted is determined by dividing the stated value of the number of shares of Series G to be converted by the conversion price. The Company may elect to pay the Series G holder in cash at the current market price multiplied by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion.

F-13

For the period ended December 31, 2016, no shares of Series G were converted into shares of common stock. At December 31, 2016, the outstanding Series G shares were convertible into a minimum of 198,231 shares of common stock.

Upon a change in control, sale of or similar transaction, as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series G, each holder of the Series G has the option to deem such transaction as a liquidation and may redeem his or her shares at the liquidation value of $1,000, per share, for an aggregate amount of $168,496. The sale of all the assets on June 28, 2007 triggered the preferred stockholders’ redemption option. As such redemption is not in the control of the Company, the Series G stock has been accounted for as if it was redeemable preferred stock and is classified on the balance sheet between liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

The conversion feature of the preferred stock is considered a derivative according to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, therefore, the fair value of the derivative is reflected in the financial statements as a liability, which was determined to be $137,177 as of December 31, 2016, and has been included as “conversion feature liability” on the accompanying balance sheets. As of the Closing, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be $137,177.

The fair value of the conversion feature liability is calculated under a Black-Scholes Model, using the market price of the Company’s common stock on each of the balance sheet dates presented, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the redemption and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considering factors specific to the conversion feature liability. Since some of the assumptions used by the Company are unobservable, the conversion feature liability is classified within the level 3 hierarchy in the fair value measurement.

The expected volatility of the conversion feature liability was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life assumption was based on the expected remaining life of the underlying preferred stock redemption. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion feature liability was based on the average market rate on U.S. treasury securities in effect during the applicable quarter. The dividend yield reflected historical experience as well as future expectations over the expected term of the underlying preferred stock redemption. Therefore, the fair value of the conversion feature liability is sensitive to changes in above assumptions and changes of the Company’s common stock price.

The table below shows the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of level 3 conversion feature liability at December 31, 2016:

Expected life of the redemption in years |  |  | 1.0 |
Risk free interest rate |  |  | 0.85 | %
Expected annual volatility |  |  | 174.84 | %
Annual rate of dividends |  |  | 0 | %

The changes in the fair value of the derivative are as follows:

Beginning as of November 4, 2016 (Closing) |  | $ | 138,562 |
Decrease in fair value |  |  | (1,385 | )
Ending balance as of December 31, 2016 |  | $ | 137,177 |

8. Recapitalization

As described in Note 2, the Company has accounted for the Recapitalization, which closed on November 4, 2016, as a reverse recapitalization. Because Integrated was a non-operating public shell corporation the transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance rather than a business combination. The transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of the Parent accompanied by a recapitalization.

Prior to the Recapitalization, Integrated had 9,530,379 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In the Recapitalization, holders of Subsidiary’s common stock received 4.13607 shares of Parent common stock for each Subsidiary share, totaling 12,517,152 shares. After the Recapitalization a total of 22,047,531 shares of Parent common stock are outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

Integrated and Subsidiary agreed to the terms of Recapitalization to reflect the arms-length negotiated fair value of the Subsidiary as $2.5 million relative to the fair value of Integrated’s cash and available for sale investment securities. This resulted in the former shareholders of Subsidiary obtaining 56.7% voting control of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The intent of the Recapitalization was to provide funding for Subsidiary’s operations initially under a loan that was canceled upon closing of the Recapitalization.

The following table summarizes the calculation of the relative voting control:

|  | Shares |  |  | Per Share |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Voting % |
Integrated shareholders pre-Recapitalization |  |  | 9,530,379 |  |  | $ | 0.20 |  |  |  | 1,903,464 |  |  |  | 43.3 | %
Integrated options pre-Recapitalization |  |  | 175,000 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0.0 | %
Warrant issued to MDB Capital Group |  |  | 1,169,607 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0.0 | %
TheMaven Network, Inc. shareholders |  |  | 12,517,152 |  |  | $ | 0.20 |  |  |  | 2,500,000 |  |  |  | 56.7 | %
Total fully diluted shares |  |  | 23,392,138 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 4,403,464 |  |  |  | 100.0 | %
Shares issued and outstanding |  |  | 22,047,531 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

In accordance with the Investment Banking Advisory Agreement more fully described in Note 11, Integrated issued warrants to MDB Capital Group, LLC to purchase 1,169,607 shares of Parent common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on November 4, 2021. Integrated incurred transaction costs of $921,698 consisting of $744,105 for the fair value of warrants issued to MDB and $177,593 in cash for legal and related transaction costs. The costs incurred by Integrated were recorded in financial statements of the Parent prior to Recapitalization and reduced the net monetary assets acquired. The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants at December 31, 2016 is $994,000.

The transaction resulted in the acquisition of gross assets of $1,447,000 consisting primarily of cash and available for sale investment securities and the assumption of $470,000 of liabilities. Included in the total liabilities assumed was 168 shares of Class G Preferred Stock, which is reported as a liability at aggregated liquidation value of $168,496 because it is a redeemable instrument at the option of the holder (see Note 7).

Prior to the closing of the Recapitalization, the Subsidiary had received $735,099 in multiple borrowings from Integrated on a note payable beginning on August 11, 2016 and ending on November 4, 2016. The note payable was cancelled as part of the Recapitalization and the proceeds from the borrowing from Integrated is considered as cash received due to the Recapitalization in addition to the net assets acquired. Legal and transaction costs incurred by Subsidiary of $50,000 related to the capital transaction were expensed and charged to General and Administrative expense.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of which 22,047,531 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

Restricted Stock Awards

On August 11, 2016, management and employees of Subsidiary in conjunction with the incorporation on July 22, 2016 received 12,209,677 shares of common stock as adjusted for the Recapitalization exchange ratio of 4.13607. These shares are subject to a Company option to buy back the shares at the original cash consideration paid, which totaled $2,952 or approximately $0.0002 per share. A total of 7,966,070 shares were subject to the Company buy back right as of August 1, 2016 and 4,094,708 were made subject to the Company buy back right on November 4, 2016 in conjunction with the Recapitalization. The employees vest their ownership in these shares over a three-year period beginning August 1, 2016 with one-third vesting on August 1, 2017 and the balance monthly over the remaining two years. The fair value of these shares of Subsidiary stock was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization (See Note 8). Because these shares require continued service to the Company the estimated fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

On October 13, 2016, Subsidiary granted 62,041 shares of common stock to an employee. On October 16, 2016 an additional 245,434 shares of Subsidiary common stock were granted to a director. The fair value of these shares of Subsidiary stock was estimated on the date of the awards based on the quoted closing stock price on November 4, 2016 since the Recapitalization was pending. These shares are subject to a Company option to buy back the shares at the original cash consideration paid.

F-15

As a condition of the Recapitalization, a total of 4,094,708 shares were required to be placed into an escrow arrangement for purposes of enforcement of the Company option to buy back shares for the balance of the three-year service period. A total of 4,381,003 shares, which includes 35% of the 4,094,708 shares added to the buy back option, are escrowed and subject to a performance condition requiring the Company to achieve certain operating metrics regarding monthly unique users by December 31, 2017. Pursuant to a negotiated schedule the performance condition can be satisfied in partial increments up to the full number of shares escrowed. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow. At December 31, 2016 it was estimated that 72.5% of the shares subject to the performance condition will be released. Pursuant to FASB ASC 718, escrowed share arrangements in a capital raising transaction are considered to be compensatory, as such, the shares subject to these escrow provisions were remeasured as of November 4, 2016, the date of the Recapitalization. The estimated fair value of these shares was determined based on the quoted closing stock price on November 4, 2016. Because these shares require continued service to the Company the estimated fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

Restricted stock award activity for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 was as follows:

|  | Shares |  |  | Shares Remeasured |  |  | Weighted- Average Price |
Stock awards granted at Inception |  |  | 12,209,677 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 0.20 |
Granted October 13, 2016 |  |  | 62,041 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 0.70 |

| * | The number of shares Remeasured as of November 4, 2016 reflect the effect of the Monte Carlo simulation determination of the estimated number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow. This estimate will be reevaluated at each quarter end until the final outcome of the performance condition is satisfied on December 31, 2017.

At December 31, 2016, total compensation cost related to restricted stock awards but not yet recognized was $3,953,000. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line method over a period of approximately 2.6 years.

Stock Options

On December 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) and reserved 1,670,867 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, including options and restricted performance stock awards. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and there were no grants prior to the formation of the Plan. Shares of common stock that are issued under the Plan or subject to outstanding incentive awards will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan, provided, however, that that shares subject to an incentive award that expire will automatically become available for issuance. Options issued under the Plan may have a term of up to ten years and may have variable vesting provisions.

The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock option awards are estimated at the grant date as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The fair values of our stock option grants were estimated with the following average assumptions:

F-16

The fair value of stock options granted during 2016 were estimated with the following assumptions:

|  | 2016 |
Expected life |  |  | 6.0 years |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.17 | %
Expected annual volatility |  |  | 113.79 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | %

For the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 option activity was as follows:

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) |  |  | Average Intrinsic Value |

The Company has granted 100,137 options under the Plan at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, with an expiration of December 28, 2026, and vests over three years. None of these options are yet vested. In 2016, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $5,542 related to this grant. At December 31, 2016, total compensation cost related to stock option granted under the Plan but not yet recognized was $82,816. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line method over a period of approximately 2.8 years. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of our common stock for the number of options that were in-the-money at year end.

In addition, the Company assumed 175,000 fully-vested options in connection with the Recapitalization with an exercise price of $0.17 per share which expire on May 15, 2019.

Common Stock Warrants – Channel Partner Program

On December 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program to be administered by management that authorized the Company to issue up to 5,000,000 common stock warrants to provide equity incentive to its Channel Partners to motivate and reward them for their services to the Company and to align the interests of the Channel Partners with those of stockholders of the Company.

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) |  |  | Average Intrinsic Value |

In December 2016, the Company issued 350,000 common stock warrants to six of the Channel Partners. The warrants have a performance condition and vest over three years and expire in five years from issuance. The exercise prices range from $0.95 to $1.09 with a weighted average of $1.05. The performance conditions are generally based on the average number of unique visitors on the Channel operated by the Channel Partner generated during the period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 or the revenue generated during the period from issuance date through June 30, 2019. Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measures at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

F-18

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform. As of December 31, 2016, the Monte Carlo simulation determined that an estimated 239,000 shares will be earned. The estimate will be reevaluated each quarter end until the final outcome of the performance condition is satisfied on December 31, 2017. The Company did not record compensation related to Channel Partner warrants in 2016.

In accordance with the Investment Banking Advisory Agreement more fully described in Note 11, Integrated issued warrants to MDB Capital Group, LLC to purchase 1,169,607 shares of Parent common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on November 4, 2021. The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants at December 31, 2016 is $994,000.

Common Stock to be Issued

The Company agreed to compensate its four non-management directors by issuing common stock in addition to cash for services rendered in 2016. Two of these directors are affiliated with the advisory service s firm that provided investment banking services to the Company. The number of shares issued to each director was determined based upon the equivalent cash compensation accrued divided by the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the compensation is fully earned each quarter, which is the last day of such quarter. The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $6,250 for the period subsequent to the Recapitalization, which is recorded as common stock to be issued.

Stock-based Compensation

The impact on our results of operations of recording stock-based compensation expense was as follows:

|  | Restricted Stock at Inception |  |  | Stock Options |  |  | Channel Partner Warrants |  |  | Common Stock to be Issued |  |  | Total |
Research and development |  |  | 67,842 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 67,842 |

10. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Parent’s net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) and credit carryforwards are subject to limitations on the use of the NOLs by the Company in consolidated tax returns after the Reverse Recapitalization. Where there is a “change in ownership” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Parent’s net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation. The Company believes that such an ownership change occurred because the shareholders of the Subsidiary acquired 56.7 percent of the Parent’s stock. Because the Parent’s value at the date of recapitalization was attributable solely to non-business assets, the utilization of the carryforwards is limited such that the majority of the carryforwards will never be available. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded those NOL carryforwards and credit carryforwards in its deferred tax assets.

The Parent is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had deferred tax assets primarily consisting of its current year net operating losses and accrued liabilities not currently deductible. However, because of the current loss since Inception, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance such that its net deferred tax asset is zero.

Deferred tax assets consist of the following components:

|  | 2016 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |
Accrued liabilities not currently deductible |  | $ | 64,210 |
Net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards |  |  | 506,259 |
Gross deferred tax assets |  |  | 570,469 |
Valuation allowance |  |  | (417,581 | )
Gross deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance |  |  | 152,888 |
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  |  |
Stock-based compensation |  |  | 16,625 |
Website development costs and fixed assets |  |  | 136,263 |
Net deferred tax asset |  | $ | - |

The Company must make judgments as to whether the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that the Company believes that recovery is not likely, it must establish a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets which the Company does not believe meet the “more likely than not” criteria. The Company’s judgments regarding future taxable income may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies or other factors. If the Company’s assumptions and consequently its estimates change in the future, the valuation allowances it has established may be increased or decreased, resulting in a respective increase or decrease in income tax expense.

F-20

At December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.5 million for federal income tax purposes. The NOL carryforward may be used to reduce taxable income, if any, in future years through their expiration in 2036.

The provision for income taxes on the statement of comprehensive loss differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate to income before the provision for income taxes, as follows:

|  | 2016 |  |  |  |
Federal expense expected at statutory rate |  | $ | (743,838 | ) |  |  | 34.0 | %
Permanent differences |  |  | 373,367 |  |  |  | -17.1 | %
Change in valuation allowance |  |  | 370,470 |  |  |  | -16.9 | %
Tax benefit and effective tax rate |  | $ | - |  |  |  |  |

The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain position only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties in general and administrative expenses. There were no interest and penalties recorded for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2016.

11. Related Party Transactions

The Parent entered into an Investment Banking Advisory Services agreement in November 2007 with MDB Capital Group LLC (“MDB”), and the parties extended the agreement indefinitely in April 2009. The agreement terminated on completion of the Recapitalization. Under the agreement, MDB acted as an advisor to the Parent in connection with the Recapitalization. At the closing of the Recapitalization, the Parent paid MDB a cash fee of $54,299 (including $4,299 to reimburse MDB’s expenses in connection with the Recapitalization) and issued to MDB and its designees, Mr. Christopher A. Marlett, Robert Levande, and Mr. Schuman, a 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,169,607 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, representing 5% of the number of shares of the Parent on a fully diluted basis immediately after the Closing. The fair value of the warrants using Black Scholes Option Pricing model was determined to be $744,105. These amounts were recorded in the financial statements of the Parent prior to the Recapitalization.

On April 4, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, selling 3,765,000 shares at $1.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3,765,000. In connection with the offering, the Company paid $188,250 and issued 162,000 shares of common stock to MDB Capital Group LLC, which acted as placement agent.

Mr. Christopher Marlett, a director of the Company, is also the Chief Executive Officer of MDB. Mr. Gary Schuman, who is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is also the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer of MDB. The Company compensates Mr. Schuman for his services at the rate of $3,000 per month. Mr. Robert Levande, who is director of the Company, is also a senior managing director of MDB, Mr. Levande was compensated $6,250 in 2016 (from the date of the Recapitalization through December 31, 2016), which was paid in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.

Prior to and interdependent upon the closing of the Recapitalization, the Parent provided a series of advances for an aggregated amount of approximately $735,000 to the Subsidiary under a promissory note (the “Term Note”). The Term Note was guaranteed by MDB in the amount of $150,000 and Mr. Heckman in the amount of $350,000 and secured by a mortgage held by the Parent on certain properties owned by Mr. Heckman located in the State of Washington and the Province of British Columbia (“Mortgage”). At the Closing of the Recapitalization, the Term Note was cancelled and the Personal Guarantee, the Mortgage and the MDB Guarantee were terminated.

On August 17, 2016 the Subsidiary borrowed $35,000 from a shareholder on demand. This loan was non-interest bearing and repaid on September 16, 2016 with proceeds from a loan from Integrated.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that it believes would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company may have a liability for additional state franchise taxes payable in the amount of approximately $44,000, plus interest at 18% per annum, for the years 2008-2014. Because of state statutory provisions, the underpaid amount will only be due once assessed and demanded by the state. The tax liability and associated interest has not been included as an accrued liability because management has determined that the likelihood of the state making the assessment is low. Depending on circumstances, management may change its estimate of the probability of an assessment and establish either an accrual or record a payment for the tax liability if assessed.

13. Subsequent Events

On January 18, 2017, the Company issued 2,976 shares of common stock to one director, and 5,953 shares of common stock to a second director as compensation for the three months ended December 31, 2016. These shares, totaling 8,929 were valued at a per share price of $1.05, or a total of $9,375.

On April 4, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, selling 3,765,000 shares at $1.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3,765,000. In connection with the offering, the Company paid $188,250 and issued 162,000 shares of common stock to MDB Capital Group LLC, which acted as placement agent. The approximate transaction costs of $424,000, including $201,000 of non-cash expenses, have been recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital. The net cash proceeds were approximately $3.5 million. The shares issued through this offering have registration rights, and it is expected that registration will be filled within forty-five days of the offering completion date. The registration rights provide for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s failure to file the registration statement or cause it to become effective by the deadline.

From January 1, 2017 to May 5, 2017, the Company has issued warrants to thirty-six of the Channel Partners for up to 1,725,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $1.14, and ranging from $1.00 to $1.33. The warrants vest over three years and expire in five years from issuance. In addition to the three-year vesting condition, the warrants have performance conditions that determine how many warrants are earned. The performance conditions are generally based on the average number of unique visitors on the Channel operated by the Channel Partner during the period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 or the revenue generated in any consecutive 12-month period during the period from issuance date to June 30, 2019. These performance conditions do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance such that the fair value measure is not fixed until performance is complete. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

From January 1, 2017 to May 5, 2017, the Company has granted options under the Stock Incentive Plan to nine employees for up to 1,124,000 shares with exercise prices ranging from $1.15 to $1.23 per share. The plan has not been approved by the shareholders of the Company at this time.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

theMaven, Inc. (“Parent”) and theMaven Network, Inc. (“Subsidiary”) (collectively “theMaven” or the “Company”) are developing an exclusive network of professionally managed online media channels, with an underlying technology platform. Each channel will be operated by a “invite only” “Channel Partner” drawn from subject matter experts, reporters, group evangelists and social leaders. Channel Partners will publish content and oversee an online community for their respective channels, leveraging a proprietary, socially-driven, mobile-enabled, video-focused technology platform to engage niche audiences within a single network.

2. Basis of Presentation

theMaven Network, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2016, under the name “Amplify Media, Inc.” On July 27, 2016, the corporate name was amended to “Amplify Media Network, Inc.” and on October 14, 2016, the corporate name was changed to “theMaven Network, Inc.”.

theMaven, Inc. was formerly known as Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Integrated”). From June 2007 until November 4, 2016, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On August 11, 2016, Integrated entered into a loan to Subsidiary that provided initial funding totaling $735,099 for the Subsidiary’s operations. On October 14, 2016 Integrated entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Subsidiary and the shareholders of Subsidiary, holding all of the issued and outstanding shares of Subsidiary (collectively, “Subsidiary Shareholders”). The Share Exchange Agreement was amended on November 4, 2016 to include certain newly issued shares of Subsidiary in the transaction and make related changes to the agreement and the Share Exchange was consummated. The transaction resulted in Parent acquiring Subsidiary by the exchange of all of the outstanding shares of Subsidiary for 12,517,152 newly issued shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) of Parent, representing approximately 56.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the transaction. The transaction is referred to as the “Recapitalization.” The Recapitalization was consummated on November 4, 2016, as a result of which theMaven Network, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrated (the “Closing”). The note payable between Integrated and Subsidiary was an interdependent transaction with the Recapitalization and was ultimately cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization. On December 2, 2016, Integrated amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from “Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.” to “theMaven, Inc.”

From June 2007 until the closing of the Recapitalization, Integrated was a non-active “shell company” as defined by regulations of the SEC and, accordingly, the Recapitalization was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization rather than a business combination. As the Subsidiary is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes under reverse recapitalization accounting, the Company’s financial statements are presented as a continuation of Subsidiary, and the accounting for the Recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of Parent as of the Closing accompanied by a recapitalization. See Note 9 for summary of the assets acquired, transaction costs and the consideration exchanged in the Recapitalization.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods.

3. Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below.

F-27

The Company has not generated any operating revenues since July 22, 2016 (Inception) and has financed its operations through (a) the Recapitalization transaction with Parent, (b) a loan from Parent that was cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization and (c) a private placement of common stock in April 2017. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and it expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next few years. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2016 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As fully described in Note 9, in April 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $3.5 million net of cash offering costs. The Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of the first quarter of 2018. In order to continue business operations past that point, the Company currently anticipates that it will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any such additional financing on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. If cash resources become insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company will be required to scale back or discontinue its technology development programs, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), or to discontinue its operations entirely.

4. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Office equipment and computers | 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures | 5-8 years
Website development costs | 2-3 years

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets consist of the cost of a purchase website domain name with an indefinite useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets, consisting of fixed assets and intangible assets, held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. Management has determined that there was no impairment in the value of long-lived assets during the period ended March 31, 2017.

F-28

Website Development Costs

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize website and software development costs for internal use when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company places capitalized website and software development assets into service and commences depreciation/amortization when the applicable project or asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to capitalized website and software development assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality.

The Company capitalizes internal labor costs, including compensation, benefits and payroll taxes, incurred for certain capitalized website and software development projects related to the Company’s technology platform. The Company’s policy with respect to capitalized internal labor stipulates that labor costs for employees working on eligible internal use capital projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of the project when the impact, as compared to expensing such labor costs, is material.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred and amounted to $64,022 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

| · | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

| · | Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3.

The carrying value of other current assets and liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains cash at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit throughout the year. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash.

F-29

Stock-based Compensation

The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of (a) restricted stock awards to employees, (b) vested stock grants to directors, (c) stock option grants to employees, directors and independent contractors, and (d) common stock warrants to Channel Partners and other independent contractors.

The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock based compensation to employees and directors. The estimated fair value of stock based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 in 2016 with early application and account for actual forfeitures of awards as they occur.

The fair value of restricted stock awards by Subsidiary at Inception was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization.

Restricted stock that was subject to an escrow arrangement and/or a performance condition in conjunction with the Recapitalization was remeasured and fair value was estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the Recapitalization. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow. Each quarter the Company reevaluates the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow until the final determination is made as of December 31, 2017.

The fair value of fully vested stock awards is estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life.

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” FASB ASC 505-50 states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliability measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date). Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measured at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The fair value of common stock warrants is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform.

The Company issues common stock upon exercise of equity awards and warrants.

F-30

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Deferred tax assets arising primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards, and research and development credit have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at March 31, 2017.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock, and warrants. Restricted stock is considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the shares are no longer forfeitable. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding restricted stock (which are forfeitable) are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where there is a net loss, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count. At March 31, 2017, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 16,439,723.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue to date. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects, marketing and sales operations as well as extensive human capital. The Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company’s products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or unmarketable. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance its current technology under development.

Recently Adopted Standards

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have any impact on Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

F-31

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 refines how companies classify certain aspects of the cash flow statement in regards to debt prepayment, settlement of debt instruments, contingent consideration payments, proceeds from insurance claims and life insurance policies, distribution from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. No early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (ASC 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and most industry specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The guidance in ASU 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. ASC 606 requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. ASC 606 also requires more extensive disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The FASB has also issued several additional ASUs which amend ASU 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606.

Public business entities are required to apply the guidance of ASC 606 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar year end reporting companies), including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has not yet estimated the financial statement impact of the expected changes. The Company will continue to assess the impact of ASC 606 as it works through the adoption in 2017.

Management believes that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

5. Fixed Assets

At March 31 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, fixed assets, net consisted of the following:

|  | March 31, 2017 |  |  | December 31, 2016 |
Office equipment and computers |  | $ | 11,772 |  |  | $ | 8,048 |
Furniture and Equipment |  |  | 13,867 |  |  |  | 0 |
Website development costs |  |  | 1,167,130 |  |  |  | 540,146 |
|  |  | 1,192,769 |  |  |  | 548,194 |
Accumulated depreciation and amortization |  |  | (1,271 | ) |  |  | (390 | )
Fixed assets, net |  | $ | 1,191,498 |  |  | $ | 547,804 |

At March 31, 2017, the Company has not yet launched its website and accordingly no amortization of capitalized website development cost was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

6. Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company maintained an investment portfolio consisting of available-for-sale-securities during the period ended December 31, 2016, which it had acquired through the Recapitalization. All available-for-sale-securities either matured or were liquidated prior to December 31, 2016.

7. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized 1,000,000 shares of undesignated, serial preferred stock. Preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and designation of any such series without any further vote or action by the Company’s stockholders.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s only outstanding series of convertible preferred stock is the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G”).

The Series G stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share, and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest sale price of the common stock on its listed market over the five trading days preceding the date of conversion (“Beneficial Conversion Feature”), subject to a maximum conversion price. The number of shares of common stock that may be converted is determined by dividing the stated value of the number of shares of Series G to be converted by the conversion price. The Company may elect to pay the Series G holder in cash at the current market price multiplied by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion.

F-33

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, no shares of Series G were converted into shares of common stock. At March 31, 2017, the outstanding Series G shares were convertible into a minimum of 163,827 shares of common stock.

Upon a change in control, sale of or similar transaction, as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series G, each holder of the Series G has the option to deem such transaction as a liquidation and may redeem his or her shares at the liquidation value of $1,000, per share, for an aggregate amount of $168,496. The sale of all the assets on June 28, 2007 triggered the preferred stockholders’ redemption option. As such redemption is not in the control of the Company, the Series G stock has been accounted for as if it was redeemable preferred stock and is classified on the balance sheet between liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

The conversion feature of the preferred stock is considered a derivative according to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, therefore, the fair value of the derivative is reflected in the financial statements as a liability, which was determined to be $130,067 and $137,177 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively and has been included as “conversion feature liability” on the accompanying balance sheets.

The fair value of the conversion feature liability is calculated under a Black-Scholes Model, using the market price of the Company’s common stock on each of the balance sheet dates presented, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the redemption and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considering factors specific to the conversion feature liability. Since some of the assumptions used by the Company are unobservable, the conversion feature liability is classified within the level 3 hierarchy in the fair value measurement.

The expected volatility of the conversion feature liability was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life assumption was based on the expected remaining life of the underlying preferred stock redemption. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion feature liability was based on the average market rate on U.S. treasury securities in effect during the applicable quarter. The dividend yield reflected historical experience as well as future expectations over the expected term of the underlying preferred stock redemption. Therefore, the fair value of the conversion feature liability is sensitive to changes in above assumptions and changes of the Company’s common stock price.

The table below shows the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of level 3 conversion feature liability at March 31, 2017:

Expected life of the redemption in years |  |  | 1.0 |
Risk free interest rate |  |  | 1.03 | %
Expected annual volatility |  |  | 168.93 | %
Annual rate of dividends |  |  | 0 | %

The changes in the fair value of the derivative are as follows:

Beginning as of January 1, 2017 |  | $ | 137,177 |
Decrease in fair value |  |  | (7,110 | )
Ending balance as of March 31, 2017 |  | $ | 130,067 |

8. Recapitalization on November 4, 2016

As described in Note 2, the Company has accounted for the Recapitalization, which closed on November 4, 2016, as a reverse recapitalization. Because Integrated was a non-operating public shell corporation the transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance rather than a business combination. The transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of the Parent accompanied by a recapitalization.

Prior to the Recapitalization, Integrated had 9,530,379 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In the Recapitalization, holders of Subsidiary’s common stock received 4.13607 shares of Parent common stock for each Subsidiary share, totaling 12,517,152 shares. After the Recapitalization a total of 22,047,531 shares of Parent common stock are outstanding as of December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, a total of 22,056,461 shares of Parent common stock are issued and outstanding.

Integrated and Subsidiary agreed to the terms of Recapitalization to reflect the arms-length negotiated fair value of the Subsidiary as $2.5 million relative to the fair value of Integrated’s cash and available for sale investment securities. This resulted in the former shareholders of Subsidiary obtaining 56.7% voting control of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The intent of the Recapitalization was to provide funding for Subsidiary’s operations initially under a loan that was canceled upon closing of the Recapitalization.

The following table summarizes the calculation of the relative voting control:

|  | Shares |  |  | Per Share |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Voting % |
Integrated shareholders pre-Recapitalization |  |  | 9,530,379 |  |  | $ | 0.20 |  |  |  | 1,903,464 |  |  |  | 43.3 | %
Integrated options pre-Recapitalization |  |  | 175,000 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0.0 | %
Warrant issued to MDB Capital Group |  |  | 1,169,607 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0.0 | %
TheMaven Network, Inc. shareholders |  |  | 12,517,152 |  |  | $ | 0.20 |  |  |  | 2,500,000 |  |  |  | 56.7 | %
Total fully diluted shares |  |  | 23,392,138 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 4,403,464 |  |  |  | 100.0 | %
Shares issued and outstanding |  |  | 22,047,531 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

In accordance with the Investment Banking Advisory Agreement more fully described in Note 11, Integrated issued warrants to MDB Capital Group, LLC to purchase 1,169,607 shares of Parent common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on November 4, 2021. Integrated incurred transaction costs of $921,698 consisting of $744,105 for the fair value of warrants issued to MDB and $177,593 in cash for legal and related transaction costs. The costs incurred by Integrated were recorded in financial statements of the Parent prior to Recapitalization and reduced the net monetary assets acquired. The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants at March 31, 2017 is $1,216,000.

The Recapitalization resulted in the acquisition of gross assets of $1,447,000 consisting primarily of cash and available for sale investment securities and the assumption of $470,000 of liabilities. Included in the total liabilities assumed was 168 shares of Class G Preferred Stock, which is reported as a liability at aggregated liquidation value of $168,496 because it is a redeemable instrument at the option of the holder (see Note 7).

Prior to the closing of the Recapitalization, the Subsidiary had received $735,099 in multiple borrowings from Integrated on a note payable beginning on August 11, 2016 and ending on November 4, 2016. The note payable was cancelled as part of the Recapitalization and the proceeds from the borrowing from Integrated is considered as cash received due to the Recapitalization in addition to the net assets acquired. Legal and transaction costs incurred by Subsidiary of $50,000 related to the capital transaction were expensed and charged to General and Administrative expense in 2016.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of which 22,056,461 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2017.

Restricted Stock Awards

On August 11, 2016, management and employees of Subsidiary in conjunction with the incorporation on July 22, 2016 received 12,209,677 shares of common stock as adjusted for the Recapitalization exchange ratio of 4.13607. These shares are subject to a Company option to buy back the shares at the original cash consideration paid, which totaled $2,952 or approximately $0.0002 per share. A total of 7,966,070 shares were subject to the Company buy back right as of August 1, 2016 and 4,094,708 were made subject to the Company buy back right on November 4, 2016 in conjunction with the Recapitalization. The employees vest their ownership in these shares over a three-year period beginning August 1, 2016 with one-third vesting on August 1, 2017 and the balance monthly over the remaining two years. The fair value of these shares of Subsidiary stock was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization (See Note 8). Because these shares require continued service to the Company the estimated fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

On October 13, 2016, Subsidiary granted 62,041 shares of common stock to an employee. On October 16, 2016 an additional 245,434 shares of Subsidiary common stock were granted to a director. The fair value of these shares of Subsidiary stock was estimated on the date of the awards based on the quoted closing stock price on November 4, 2016 since the Recapitalization was pending. These shares are subject to a Company option to buy back the shares at the original cash consideration paid.

As a condition of the Recapitalization, a total of 4,094,708 shares were required to be placed into an escrow arrangement for purposes of enforcement of the Company option to buy back shares for the balance of the three-year service period. A total of 4,381,003 shares, which includes 35% of the 4,094,708 shares added to the buy back option, are escrowed and subject to a performance condition requiring the Company to achieve certain operating metrics regarding monthly unique users by December 31, 2017. Pursuant to a negotiated schedule the performance condition can be satisfied in partial increments up to the full number of shares escrowed. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow.

Pursuant to FASB ASC 718, escrowed share arrangements in a capital raising transaction are considered to be compensatory, as such, the shares subject to these escrow provisions were remeasured as of November 4, 2016, the date of the Recapitalization. The estimated fair value of these shares was determined based on the quoted closing stock price on November 4, 2016. Because these shares require continued service to the Company the estimated fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

At December 31, 2016, it was estimated that 72.5% of the shares subject to the performance condition will be released. At March 31, 2017, the expected achievement of the performance condition was reevaluated and it was determined that the shares estimated to be released had increased to 95.5%.

F-36

Restricted stock award activity for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to March 31, 2017, including the reevaluation of the shares estimated to be release, was as follows:

|  | Shares |  |  | Shares Remeasured |  |  | Weighted- Average Price |
Stock awards granted at Inception |  |  | 12,209,677 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 0.20 |

| * | The number of shares Remeasured as of November 4, 2016 reflect the effect of the Monte Carlo simulation determination of the estimated number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow. This estimate will be reevaluated at each quarter end until the final outcome of the performance condition is satisfied on December 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2017, total compensation cost related to restricted stock awards but not yet recognized was $4,175,000. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line method over a period of approximately 2.4 years.

Stock Options

On December 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) and reserved 1,670,867 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, including options and restricted performance stock awards. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and there were no grants prior to the formation of the Plan. Shares of common stock that are issued under the Plan or subject to outstanding incentive awards will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan, provided, however, that that shares subject to an incentive award that expire will automatically become available for issuance. Options issued under the Plan may have a term of up to ten years and may have variable vesting provisions.

The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock option awards are estimated at the grant date as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The fair values of our stock option grants were estimated with the following average assumptions:

F-37

The fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were estimated with the following assumptions:

Expected life |  |  | 6.0 years |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.13 | %
Expected annual volatility |  |  | 114.20 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | %

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 option activity was as follows:

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) |  |  | Average Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at January 1, 2017 |  |  | 275,137 |  |  |  | 0.48 |  |  |  | 5.15 |  |  |  |  |

The Company has granted 764,137 options under the Plan. None of these options are yet vested. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $17,278 related to the grants. Of the total stock-based compensation, $15,496 was expensed in General and Administrative expenses and $1,782 was capitalized as Website Development Costs. At March 31, 2017, total compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plan but not yet recognized was $538,000. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line method over a period of approximately 2.87 years. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of our common stock for the number of options that were in-the-money at March 31, 2017.

In addition, the Company assumed 175,000 fully-vested options in connection with the Recapitalization with an exercise price of $0.17 per share which expire on May 15, 2019.

Common Stock Warrants – Channel Partner Program

On December 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program to be administered by management that authorized the Company to issue up to 5,000,000 common stock warrants to provide equity incentive to its Channel Partners to motivate and reward them for their services to the Company and to align the interests of the Channel Partners with those of stockholders of the Company. The following table summarizes the activity in Channel Partner Warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2017:

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) |  |  | Average Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at January 1, 2017 |  |  | 350,000 |  |  |  | 1.05 |  |  |  | 4.75 |  |  |  |  |

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 1,280,000 common stock warrants to 28 of the Channel Partners. The warrants have a performance condition and vest over three years and expire in five years from issuance. The exercise prices range from $1.05 to $1.33 with a weighted average of $1.11. The performance conditions are generally based on the average number of unique visitors on the Channel operated by the Channel Partner generated during the period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 or the revenue generated during the period from issuance date through June 30, 2019. Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measures at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

F-39

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform. The Company did not record compensation related to Channel Partner warrants in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Other Warrants

In accordance with the Investment Banking Advisory Agreement more fully described in Note 11, Integrated issued warrants to MDB Capital Group, LLC to purchase 1,169,607 shares of Parent common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on November 4, 2021. The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants at March 31, 2017 is $1,216,000.

On March 21, 2017, the Company issued a warrant with performance conditions to be completed prior to June 21, 2017 to purchase 20,000 shares of Parent common stock with an exercise price of $1.18. Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measured at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. No expense was recognized related to this warrant since at quarter end it was not probable that the performance conditions would be satisfied.

Common Stock to be Issued – Private Placement of Common Stock

On April 4, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, selling 3,765,000 shares at $1.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3,765,000. A total of $3,515,000 of the gross proceeds was received prior to March 31, 2017. In connection with the offering, the Company paid $188,250 and issued 162,000 shares of common stock to MDB Capital Group LLC, which acted as placement agent. The approximate transaction costs of $424,000, including $201,000 of non-cash expenses, have been recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital. The proceeds received prior to March 31, 2017, net of a proportionate share of the transaction costs, in the amount of $3,120,644 have been recorded as Common Stock to be Issued as of March 31, 2017.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 stock-based compensation totaling $212,156 during the application and development stage was capitalized for website development.

10. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

F-40

The Parent’s net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) and credit carryforwards are subject to limitations on the use of the NOLs by the Company in consolidated tax returns after the Reverse Recapitalization. Where there is a “change in ownership” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Parent’s net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation. The Company believes that such an ownership change occurred because the shareholders of the Subsidiary acquired 56.7 percent of the Parent’s stock. Because the Parent’s value at the date of recapitalization was attributable solely to non-business assets, the utilization of the carryforwards is limited such that the majority of the carryforwards will never be available. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded those NOL carryforwards and credit carryforwards in its deferred tax assets.

The Parent is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had deferred tax assets primarily consisting of net operating losses and accrued liabilities not currently deductible. However, because of the current loss since Inception, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance such that its net deferred tax asset is zero.

Deferred tax assets consist of the following components:

|  | March 31, 2017 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |
Accrued liabilities not currently deductible |  | $ | 74,355 |
Net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards |  |  | 882,892 |
Gross deferred tax assets |  |  | 957,247 |
Valuation allowance |  |  | (663,317 | )
Gross deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance |  |  | 293,930 |
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  |  |
Stock-based compensation |  |  | 16,625 |
Website development costs and fixed assets |  |  | 277,305 |
Net deferred tax asset |  | $ | - |

The Company must make judgments as to whether the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that the Company believes that recovery is not likely, it must establish a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets which the Company does not believe meet the “more likely than not” criteria. The Company’s judgments regarding future taxable income may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies or other factors. If the Company’s assumptions and consequently its estimates change in the future, the valuation allowances it has established may be increased or decreased, resulting in a respective increase or decrease in income tax expense.

F-41

At March 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.6 million for federal income tax purposes. The NOL carryforward may be used to reduce taxable income, if any, in future years through their expiration in 2036 and 2037.

The provision for income taxes on the statement of comprehensive loss differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate to income before the provision for income taxes for the three months ended, as follows:

|  | March 31, 2017 |  |  |  |
Federal expense expected at statutory rate |  | $ | (344,010 | ) |  |  | 34.0 | %
Permanent differences |  |  | 97,895 |  |  |  | -9.7 | %
Change in valuation allowance |  |  | 246,115 |  |  |  | -24.5 | %
Tax benefit and effective tax rate |  | $ | - |  |  |  | 0 | %

The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain position only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties in general and administrative expenses. There were no interest and penalties recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

11. Related Party Transactions

On April 4, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, selling 3,765,000 shares at $1.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3,765,000. In connection with the offering, the Company paid $188,250 and issued 162,000 shares of common stock to MDB Capital Group LLC, which acted as placement agent.

Mr. Christopher Marlett, a director of the Company, is also the Chief Executive Officer of MDB. Mr. Gary Schuman, who was the Chief Financial Officer of the Company until May 15, 2017, is also the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer of MDB. The Company compensates Mr. Schuman for his services at the rate of $3,000 per month. Mr. Robert Levande, who is director of the Company, is also a senior managing director of MDB.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that it believes would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company may have a liability for additional state franchise taxes payable in the amount of approximately $44,000, plus interest at 18% per annum, for the years 2008-2014. Because of state statutory provisions, the underpaid amount will only be due once assessed and demanded by the state. The tax liability and associated interest has not been included as an accrued liability because management has determined that the likelihood of the state making the assessment is low. Depending on circumstances, management may change its estimate of the probability of an assessment and establish either an accrual or record a payment for the tax liability if assessed.

13. Subsequent Events

On April 4, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, selling 3,765,000 shares at $1.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $3,765,000. A total of $3,515,000 of the gross proceeds was received prior to March 31, 2017. In connection with the offering, the Company paid $188,250 and issued 162,000 shares of common stock to MDB Capital Group LLC, which acted as placement agent. The approximate transaction costs of $424,000, including $201,000 of non-cash expenses, have been recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital. The net cash proceeds were approximately $3.5 million. The shares issued through this offering have registration rights, and a registration statement on Form S-1 was timely filed on May 15, 2017 within forty-five days of the offering completion date. The registration rights provide for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s failure to file the registration statement or cause it to become effective by the deadline.

From April 1, 2017 to May 19, 2017, the Company has issued warrants to ten of the Channel Partners to purchase up to 555,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $1.23, and ranging from $1.19 to $1.25. The warrants vest over three years and expire in five years from issuance. In addition to the three-year vesting condition, the warrants have performance conditions that determine how many warrants are earned. The performance conditions are generally based on the average number of unique visitors on the Channel operated by the Channel Partner during the period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 or the revenue generated in any consecutive 12-month period during the period from issuance date to June 30, 2019. These performance conditions do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance such that the fair value measure is not fixed until performance is complete. The Company recognizes expense for equity based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized.

From April 1, 2017 to May 19, 2017, the Company has granted options under the Stock Incentive Plan to five employees for up to 485,000 shares with exercise prices ranging from $1.19 to $1.23 per share. The plan has not been approved by the shareholders of the Company at this time.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

| ITEM 13. | Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The following table lists the costs and expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering of securities covered by this prospectus, other than any sales commissions or discounts. All amounts shown are estimates except for the SEC registration fee, and all of the fees and expenses will be borne by the Company.

SEC registration fee |  | $ | 1,227 |
Accounting fees and expenses |  |  | 20,000 |
Legal fees and expenses |  |  | 10,000 |
Printing expenses |  |  | 5,000 |
Miscellaneous expenses |  |  | 500 |
Total |  | $ | 36,727 |

| ITEM 14. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents.

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors and officers.

In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and its officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

| ITEM 15. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On April 4, 2017, the Registrant sold 3,765,000 shares of its common stock to 25 accredited investors at a price of $1.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,765,000. The Company also issued to MDB Capital Group LLC, in partial consideration for its services as placement agent for the offering, 162,000 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock issued in the offering and to the placement agent were offered and sold exclusively to accredited investors in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction not involving a public offering, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On December 19, 2016, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved the ability of management to issue warrants to Channel Partners that would allow the warrant holders to purchase up to a maximum of 5,000,000 warrants in the aggregate. The warrants will be issued to individual Channel Partners with individualized vesting criteria under a program designed to encourage the Channel Partner to drive user traffic and generate new Channel Partner participants on TheMaven Platform. The warrants have a composition of vesting that is time based and performance based. The Registrant has granted since inception of the program an aggregate of 2,075,000 warrants through May 5, 2017 at exercise prices ranging from $0.95 to $1.33 per share, with expiration periods ending from December 19, 2021 to May 5, 2022. These Channel Partner warrants have no registration rights, and vest over three years. None of the Channel Partner warrants are yet vested. The warrants were issued on the basis of being a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

| II-1 |

We believe the offers, sales, and issuances of the above securities by us were exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates, notes and warrants issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about our company. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

| ITEM 16. | Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a) Exhibits. We have filed the exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules. All financial statement schedules are omitted because the information called for is not required or is shown either in the consolidated financial statements or in the notes thereto.

| ITEM 17. | Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

| (i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(5) For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

| (i) | That each prospectus filed by the undersigned pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

| (ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

| (iii) | Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
