Wheatley is an NFA Registered Introducing Broker (IB), Forex Firm and Commodity Trading Adviser (CTA). On February 23, 2011, the Company entered into additional Securities Purchase Agreement with Forex NYC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire an additional thirty percent (30%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Forex NYC (the “FNYC Interest”) on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the additional FNYC Interest, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Forex NYC 675,000 shares of common stock of the Company. A dispute has arisen between the Company and Wheatley and Forex NYC. Due to the failure of Wheatley and Forex NYC to deliver the required audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, it is the Company’s position that the agreements entered February 23, 2011 are void and, as a result, the closings of such interest in Wheatley and Forex NYC did not occur. The Company is presently negotiating a settlement with these parties. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in finalizing such settlement.
As part of finalizing the Wheatley and Forex NYC acquisitions, on February 24, 2011 the Company entered into a consulting agreement for M&A activities with Cross Point Capital Advisors (“Cross Point”). The Company agreed to pay Cross Point a consulting fee of $150,000 in cash plus retainer of $9,500 per month for the next 18 months commencing on April 1, 2011 for bringing the Company M&A-related opportunities, and for structuring and advising the Company on those opportunities, pending the closing of the Wheatley and FOREX NYC transactions. As a result of the above referenced dispute, the Company has not commenced paying the agreed-upon fees to Cross Point.
The Company defaulted on its note payable to APH in connection with the acquisition of Triple. The note was due on February 15, 2011, but by settlement agreement between the companies, was amended and extended to mature in June 30, 2011.

On March 28, 2011, the Company’s transfer agent informed the Company that its shares became eligible to be wired electronically via fast transfer method.
On March 28, 2011 the Company approved issuing to William Jordan ("WJ") 10,000 restricted shares as part of the Company consideration under consulting agreement. WJ served as consultant to the Company.
Risk Management
Overview
The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market price risk. The company's Management has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Company's risk management within parameters established by the board of Directors. Triple activities, given the above mentioned risks, are monitored and managed as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a client fails to meet its margin requirements due to a loss of funds. Clients are required to deposit cleared funds as margin before they can trade. If the clients' margin falls below the minimum margin requirement to maintain a position, they will be issued a margin call.
The clients either have to increase the margin that they have deposited by providing additional funds or to reduce and/or close out their position. At any point the clients' account is in a status of margin call, the company may, at its discretion, liquidate some or all of that client's positions in order to bring them back into line with their margin requirements. The company also has potential credit risk exposure to market counterparties with which it hedges and with banks that hold company's funds and customers' funds. The Company manages a number of accounts with leading international banks and brokers and does not expect such counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.
Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The company continuously monitors its working capital adequacy, including forecast and actual gross profit and cash flows from operations.
Market price risk
Market risk arises from open contracts with customers and counterparties. Exposure to market risk is closely monitored in accordance with limits, and reduced through hedging with other institutions. (i.e. clearing the contracts and recognize a loss or revenue from actions in derivative financial instruments). The company is exposed to currency risk for its financial assets and liabilities which are denominated predominantly in US dollars. The gains and losses arising from the company's exposure are recognized in the profit and loss account.
NOTE 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary and all variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, whether the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The balance sheet of Triple 8 Limited and its subsidiary was consolidated, not including consolidation of Triple 8 Limited (and its subsidiary) operations, as the acquisition took place at yearend. .
Marketable securities
The Company determines the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. The Company assesses whether temporary or other-than-temporary gains or losses on its marketable securities have occurred due to increases or declines in fair value or other market conditions. The Company had marketable securities within continuing operations during the year, which have been sold in the market.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash.
9
Revenue Recognition
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for all transactions. The Company recognized revenue and gains when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred.
Fixed and Other Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Office furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over seven years. Computer equipment and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life or the life of the lease (three years).
Costs of software acquired along with payroll costs and consulting fees relating to the development of internal use software, including that used to provide internet solutions, are capitalized. Once the software is placed in service, the costs are amortized over the estimated useful life.
Costs of Debt Discount are amortized over the life of the note that was discounted, typically two years.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE's”), where it is the entity’s primary beneficiary. VIE's are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The primary beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, the balance sheets and results of operations of FOREX INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORP M.S. LTD, (our wholly owned subsidiary, which is not active in operation and serving as our agent) and Triple were consolidated into these financial statements.
On November 17, 2010, Forex International Trading Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “APH Agreement”) with AP Holdings Limited (“APH”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 17,924 ordinary shares of Triple 8 Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Cyprus, engaged in the business of operating a Forex trading platform (“Triple”). The securities acquired from APH represent approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding securities of Triple. Pursuant to the APH Agreement, in consideration for the securities of Triple, the Company agreed to issue 36,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as well as a 6% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 due February 15, 2011 (the “APH Note”). On December 30, 2010, the Company and APH entered into an amendment to the APH Agreement whereby the number of shares to be delivered by the Company was reduced from 36,000,000 to 25,000,000. Further, on December 30, 2010, in order to expedite the transaction and avoid further dilution of the existing shareholders, Medirad Inc. and Rasel Ltd., shareholders of the Company, have agreed to return an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon closing of the APH Agreement. The above transaction closed on December 30, 2010.
Although the Company acquired approximately 45% of Triple at yearend, the Company determined that Triple was a VIE, and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s residual gains and losses. The Company has therefore consolidated Triple’s financial statements for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 in the financial statements herein.
Loss per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Codification Topic 260 Section S99-1 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had 2,948,333 dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or warrants as of the date of these financials.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
The Company considers the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or "$") to be the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The reporting currency of the Company is the US Dollar and accordingly, all amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been presented or translated into US Dollars. For non-US subsidiaries that do not utilize the US Dollar as its functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated to US Dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.
10
Fair value of financial instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, loans payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s note receivable approximates its fair value based on management’s best estimate of future cash collections.
Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires a full set of general-purpose financial statements to be expanded to include the reporting of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non owner sources. As of March 31, 2011, foreign currency translation adjustments were the only items of other comprehensive income for the Company.
Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of ASC Codification Topic 220 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.
Recent pronouncements
In May 2008, FAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts”, and SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, were issued. In March 2008, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 was issued.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 168 – become effective on July 1, 2009 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which makes the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The adoption of ASC Topic 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or result of operations. Other recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and has adopted the disclosure only alternative of ASC Codification Topic 220 and SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by ASC Codification Topic 220 and SFAS No. 123.
Year End
On October 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of Forex the Company approved a change in the Company's fiscal year of July 31 to December 31 (the “Fiscal Year Change”). The Company filed a transition report on Form 10-Q covering the transition period of August 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (the “Transition Period”). The Company also filed its Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 accordingly.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
NOTE 3
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Pursuant to the APH agreement the Company agreed to issue 36,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as well as a 6% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 due February 15, 2011 (the “APH Note”). On December 30, 2010, the Company and APH entered into an amendment to the APH Agreement whereby the number of shares to be delivered by the Company was reduced from 36,000,000 to 25,000,000. Further, on December 30, 2010, in order to expedite the transaction and avoid further dilution of the existing shareholders, Medirad Inc. and Rasel Ltd., shareholders of the Company, have agreed to return an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon closing of the APH Agreement. The above transaction closed on December 30, 2010.
11
Although the Company acquired approximately 45% of Triple at yearend, the Company determined that Triple was a VIE, and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s residual gains and losses. The Company has therefore consolidated Triple’s financial statements for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 in the financial statements herein.
The following reflects the pro-forma income statement if Triple had been acquired on January 1, 2010, rather than at the end of 2010, and shows the combined income statement for 2010 only (the unaudited, consolidated first quarter of fiscal 2011 is shown in the financial statements):

During December 2010 and followed during February 2011 the Company entered into series of agreements to acquire 50% of Wheatley and Forex NYC. A dispute has arisen between the Company and Wheatley and Forex NYC. Due to the failure of Wheatley and Forex NYC to deliver the required audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, it is the Company’s position that the agreements entered February 23, 2011 are void and, as a result, the closings of such interest in Wheatley and Forex NYC did not occur. The Company is presently negotiating a settlement with these parties. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in finalizing such settlement. The companies mentioned in this paragraph are not consolidated into these financials, so there is no impact on the financial statements shown herein.
NOTE 4
Short Term Secured Note & Accrued Interest
The Company owes APH on a short-term note payable in the amount of $1,200,000, and $26,800 in accrued interest at 3/31/11, which by settlement agreement between the companies amended and extended to mature in June 30, 2011. The note and accrued interest are thus classified as a short-term liability on the financial statements included herein reflecting the anticipated extension of maturity. The Note carries 6% annual interest, and is convertible to common shares at $0.20 conversion price per share.

NOTE 6
Other Assets and Goodwill:
Gold Project JV
The Company entered into a joint venture with a third party to obtain exploring and exporting gold license from the Republic of Ghana. The Company utilized its contacts, know-how and expertise to obtain the desire licensing. After the end of the year, it was decided, based on the results of findings gathered in due diligence, to put the development of the joint venture on hold indefinitely, and as such all accrued costs were amortized in the 2010 financial statements.
Capitalization of Offering Costs
The Company determined that it had booked certain costs associated with its offering (mostly legal expenses, and expenses associated with producing its financial statements) as expenses in error, which caused a restatement of the financials in 2010. The net amount to be capitalized is $50,626.
Debt Discount on Convertible Note, Net
The Company recognizes a debt discount for the difference in the face value of the A.T. Limited Notes (“ATL notes”) issued and received by the Company: $100,000. Said Note Discount will be amortized over the life of the Company note: two years. The current portion of Note Discount was presented as current assets, while the remaining long term balance was presented in Other Assets.
Acquisition of 20% of FOREX NYC
On December 18, 2010, the “Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Forex NYC pursuant to which the Company acquired 20% of the issued and outstanding equity of FNYC Interest on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the FNYC Interest, the Company issued and sold to Forex NYC 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, at a valuation of $200,000. Forex NYC is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York with headquarters located at One Grand Central Place. Forex NYC is a based Forex investment training facility.
Acquisition of approximately 45% of Triple 8 Limited
On November 17, 2010, the Company entered into the APH Agreement with APH, as detailed in footnotes above. The goodwill recorded in the transaction was $26,594,710. As part of its due diligence process, the Company hired an outside firm to conduct a fairness opinion on the valuation of Triple. One of the methods employed by that firm for assessing the fairness of the transaction to the Company was the Net Adjusted Asset method, which assumes as its premise that the fair market value of the assets is equal to the cost and book value of those assets. Triple’s balance sheet was audited at 12/31/10 by a separate audit firm, and it was determined that no additional write-up (or write-down) to the value of the assets and liabilities of Triple was needed to bring those assets and liabilities from audited book value to fair market value, because there was only one buyer for those assets, and the assets, particularly the Property Plant and Equipment, had a very specific use. Therefore, the premium in purchase price over the approximately 45% of book value of the net assets acquired was allocated entirely to goodwill.
The Company will assess impairments to goodwill on a quarterly basis. To assess possible impairments, we will assess differences between budget to actual on several key operating metrics, including growth in accounts net of churn, and also trading volume on the Triple trading platform. The Company will also assess, on a periodic basis, significant changes in the volatility of Company stock, which could change the Company’s theoretical cost of equity through the so-called “beta” coefficient, given that Company stock was the currency used for the purchase of the interest in Triple.
White Label License & Websites, Net
On April 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Software Licensing Agreement with Triple which was dated April 12, 2010 whereby the Company will license Triple’s proprietary trading software (the “Software”) for the purpose of developing a Forex Trading Platform and introducing prospective clients (“End Users”). Triple created a website for the Company, which was funded by the Company at a cost of $50,000 (the “Setup Fee”). Upon the Company and Triple 8 generating $100,000 in revenue under the agreement, the Company will be reimbursed 50% of the Setup Fee ($25,000). The Company will receive 30% of the net profit generated from End Users, which will be increased to 50% in the event that the monthly volume generated by the Company is in excess of $250 million. Said agreement with Triple is considered by the Company as a mid-term-solution and in order to examine the system closely, the Company evaluate the platforms capabilities and flexibility to create a custom trading platform for the Company’s FUTURE clients. While the Company is developing its own custom software platform, it began operating said affiliate program with Triple ’s existing trading platform. The custom platform will be designed to help clients evaluate risk not only on a per trade basis, but also from a portfolio perspective. The Company will then add additional features to their platform such as: (i) Easy deposit and withdrawal or funds transfers between existing banking/investment accounts; (ii) Total portfolio integration of client’s currency accounts with other investment accounts; and (iii) Detailed real time calculations of profits and losses, among others. As disclosed before, costs of software acquired along with payroll costs and consulting fees relating to the development of internal use software, including that used to provide internet solutions, are capitalized. Once the software is placed in service, the costs are amortized over the estimated useful life. As the Company treating said agreement as a midterm evaluation tool, no amortization was recorded on said costs.

NOTE 8
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable on the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The provisions for income taxes differ from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to Income before provision for income taxes. The source and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

The Company accounts for the income taxes under ASC Codification Topic 740 and SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the current enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

On July 8, 2010, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to A.T. Limited (“ATL”) in aggregate principal amounts of $500,000 (the “Forex Note”). In consideration for the Company issuing the ATL Note, ATL issued the Company a Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principle amount of $400,000 (the “ATL Note”).
The Forex Note bears interest at 10%, matures two years from the date of issuance and is convertible into our common stock, at ATL’s option, at a conversion price of $0.20 subject to adjustment. On the 21st trading day following each conversion, the number of shares of common stock issuable to ATL pursuant to the Forex Note shall be adjusted such that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to ATL is equal to the amount converted divided by 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices during the 20 trading days following delivery of the shares of common stock upon the initial conversion. Concurrent with the conversion of the Forex Note, ATL must make a payment to the Company reducing a pro rata amount owed to the Company under the ATL Note. As of July 12, 2010, the Company is received a trading symbol (FXIT) but has not commenced trading. Based on a fixed conversion price of $0.20, the Forex Note in the aggregate amount of $500,000, excluding interest, is convertible into 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. ATL has agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Forex Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The ATL Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and matures one year from the date of issuance. No interest or principal payments are required until the maturity date, but both principal and interest may be prepaid prior to maturity date and ATL is required to pay down an amount equal to any amounts converted under the Forex Note. The ATL Note is secured by shares of common stock of a publicly listed company on the Tel Aviv and London Stock Exchanges with an approximate market value of $400,000 (the “ATL Collateral”). In the event that ATL defaults on the ATL Note, the Company may take possession of the ATL Collateral and, in the event that the ATL Collateral is insufficient to pay the full debt owed under the ATL Note, the Company may pursue further remedies against ATL.
On November 8, 2010, the Company and ATL agreed that various loans in the principal amount of $71,736 (the “Prepaid Amount”) provided by ATL to the Company shall be applied to the ATL Note reducing the principal of the ATL Note by such amount. Accordingly, upon the initial conversions of the Forex Note, ATL will not be required to make such pro-rata payment reducing the ATL Note until the Prepaid Amount has been exceeded. On or about January 18, 2011 the Company issued 324,234 common shares to ATL to settle the Prepaid Amount in lieu of cash.
The Forex Note was offered and sold to ATL in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. ATL is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
The accrued balance of the Forex note including interest as of March 31, 2011 is $464,874. The balance of the note was reduced by the Prepaid Amount when the Company paid the Prepaid Amount by issuing 324,324 shares.

16
Although the Company acquired approximately 45% of Triple at yearend, the Company determined that Triple was a VIE, and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s residual gains and losses, because it gained de-facto control of the Company’s operations through the appointment of one of its employees as the sole director of the VIE. The Company has therefore consolidated Triple’s financial statements for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 in the financial statements herein.
The Company defaulted on its note payable to APH in connection with the acquisition of Triple. The note was due on February 15, 2011, but by settlement agreement between the companies was amended and extended to mature in June 30, 2011 (see Subsequent Events).

Earnings per share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the quarter. Diluted net loss per common share (“Diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. At March 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010, , there were 8,708,333 and 0 potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per common share.

Further, the Series A Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis multiplied by three and carries standard anti-dilution rights. The Series A Preferred Stock does not carry preferential liquidation rights. The HAM Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share.

Mr. Weissman verbally notified the Company that he sold certificate number 213 representing 1,000,000 shares issued to Forex NYC.

See "Forward-Looking Statements" included in this report.
General Overview

We offer online trading services to non US residents, professional and retail clients over a web-based live and real-time proprietary trading system. The Company corporate website is: www.forex-international-trading.com . The website is currently under further development and construction and modifications may apply.

This section of the report should be read together with Notes of the Company’s restated consolidated financials as well as the disclosures in this filing.

In 2010, the fiscal year for the Company changed from July 31 to December 31. Due to this change, and to the fact that the Company has consolidated the results of Triple in the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, the periods are not comparable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2011, our cash, cash equivalents were $2,514,478 (at December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents were $3,078,339), a decrease of approximately $563,861. The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents is primarily the result of operating our business, and an investment in the fixed assets of Triple. In our financial statements included herein, we have consolidated the financial statements of Triple with ours for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011; thus, the first fiscal quarter is not comparable to the third fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010, which does not reflect that consolidation.
Cash flow used by operating activities for the March 31, 2011 was $740,686, and cash flow used by operating activities during the period ended April 30, 2010 was $107,192. Cash flow used by investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $2,204,628, and cash flow used by investing activities for the period ended April 30, 2010 in 2009 was $18,258. Cash provided by financing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $900,081, and reflects issuances of stock for the Prepaid Amount of the ATL Note and cash flow provided by financing activities was $157,753 for the quarter ended April 30, 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, FXIT completed a private placement in the amount of $548,345, of which $520,000 was completed during the fourth quarter of 2010.
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on numerous factors, including the successful commercialization of our products, competing technological and market developments, and the development of strategic alliances for the development and marketing of our products. Our Company intends to try to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financing, strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources. On October 6, 2009, October 20, 2009 and January 29, 2010, Rasel Ltd., a shareholder of our company, loaned $25,000, $50,000 and $50,000, respectively, to our company.
We expect to use the proceeds to fund our short-term capital requirements including paying administrative expenses associated with maintaining our public company’s filings for the next 12 months. In order to implement our business plan and pay various administrative expenses on a minimal basis for 12 months, we expect that we will need approximately a minimum of $50,000 per month. We expect to be able to remain in operation for a period of 12 months with cash on hand. In the event Forex's plans change or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or the funds available prove to be insufficient to fund operations at the planned level (due to further unanticipated expenses, delays, and problems or otherwise), Forex could be required to obtain additional funds earlier than expected. Forex does have committed sources of additional financing, though there can be no assurance that additional funding, if necessary, will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to further delay, scale-back, or eliminate certain aspects of our operations or attempt to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, product candidates, products, or potential markets. If adequate funds are not available, Forex's business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Until required for operations, Forex's policy will be to invest its cash reserves in bank deposits or deploy its cash in short term loans. Forex expects that its operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future and will depend on a number of factors, most of which are outside Forex's control.

On October 20, 2009 the Company signed a Note Payable for $50,000 payable to Rasel due on October 20, 2010 at 4% per annum. These proceeds were used to pay for startup costs, audit fees and future expenses.
On January 22, 2010 the Company signed a Note Payable for $50,000 payable to Rasel due on October 30, 2011 at 4% per annum. These proceeds will be used for working capital and future expenses.
On January 22, 2010 the Company signed an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Notes in the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 dated October 6, 2009 and October 20, 2009, respectively, to October 30, 2011.

On July 8, 2010, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to A.T. Limited (“ATL”) in aggregate principal amounts of $500,000 (the “Forex Note”). In consideration for the Company issuing the ATL Note, ATL issued the Company a Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principle amount of $400,000 (the “ATL Note”).
The Forex Note bears interest at 10%, matures two years from the date of issuance and is convertible into our common stock, at ATL’s option, at a conversion price of $0.20 subject to adjustment. On the 21st trading day following each conversion, the number of shares of common stock issuable to ATL pursuant to the Forex Note shall be adjusted such that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to ATL is equal to the amount converted divided by 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices during the 20 trading days following delivery of the shares of common stock upon the initial conversion. Concurrent with the conversion of the Forex Note, ATL must make a payment to the Company reducing a pro rata amount owed to the Company under the ATL Note. As of July 12, 2010, the Company is received a trading symbol (FXIT) but has not commenced trading. Based on fixed conversion price of $0.20, the Forex Note in the aggregate amount of $500,000, excluding interest, is convertible into 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. ATL has agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Forex Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The ATL Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and matures one year from the date of issuance. No interest or principal payments are required until the maturity date, but both principal and interest may be prepaid prior to maturity date and ATL is required to pay down an amount equal to any amounts converted under the Forex Note. The ATL Note is secured by shares of common stock of a publicly listed company on the Tel Aviv and London Stock Exchanges with an approximate market value of $400,000 (the “ATL Collateral”). In the event that ATL defaults on the ATL Note, the Company may take possession of the ATL Collateral and, in the event that the ATL Collateral is insufficient to pay the full debt owed under the ATL Note, the Company may pursue further remedies against ATL.
On November 8, 2010, the Company and ATL agreed that various loans in the principal amount of $71,736 (the “Prepaid Amount”) provided by ATL to the Company shall be applied to the ATL Note reducing the principal of the ATL Note by such amount. Accordingly, upon the initial conversions of the Forex Note, ATL will not be required to make such pro-rata payment reducing the ATL Note until the Prepaid Amount has been exceeded. On or about January 18, 2011 the Company issued 324,234 common shares to ATL to settle the Prepaid Amount in lieu of cash.
The Forex Note was offered and sold to ATL in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. ATL is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
The accrued balance of the Forex note including interest as of March 31, 2011 is $464,874. The balance of the note was reduced by the Prepaid Amount when the Company paid the Prepaid Amount by issuing 324,324 shares.
