FOREX INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORP.
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Forex International Trading Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in Kensington, Maryland. On September 9, 2009 the Company filed Form S-1 Registration Statement to provide for the registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company’s principal business activities have been to engage in foreign currency market trading for non-US resident professionals and retail clients over its web-based trading systems. In addition, the Company is analyzing investments in joint ventures and is selectively pursuing acquisitions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forex International Trading Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Forex” or the Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and reports and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all, or include a condensed version of, the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company believes, however, that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the periods shown. Results shown for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year or for any future period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements. Actual results might differ from management’s estimates.
The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recently audited financial statements and in the above referenced Annual Report on Form 10-K.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, allowances for doubtful accounts and loan losses, valuation of common and preferred stock issuances, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Notes and Short-Term Receivable
The note and short-term receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company measures the impairment of loans based on its historical loan collection experience and existing economic conditions. Impairment is recognized when management believes it is probable that payments will not be received on some portion of the loan, which is determined on an individual loan basis. The Company evaluates loans for impairment on an annual basis or when there are indications that the loan may not be collected. When management determines that a loan is impaired it is placed on non-accrual status, and an allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the estimated amount of impairment. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
As required by U.S. GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost. The re-issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first in, first-out basis and any difference between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged or credited to additional paid-in capital.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.
U.S. GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2012, and is current in its tax filings...
Revenue Recognition
Income from foreign currency operations is earned by referring potential customers to foreign exchange trading companies. Foreign exchange trading companies remit a percentage of their revenues to the Company in exchange for customer leads, which the Company recognizes when the exchange trading occurs.
The Company recognizes consulting fees when services have been rendered.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense including compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards based on their estimated grant date fair values. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over any required service period. No such expenses were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock, such as options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings (loss). Such potential additional common shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted loss per share has not been computed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 because any potential additional common shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an antidilutive effect.
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 raise equity and debt financing, generate revenues and upon future profitable operations from the development of new business opportunities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the Company’s assets or the payment of its liabilities in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated condensed financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
3. Acquisition and Divestiture/Restatements
Investment in Private Company—Triple 8
On November 17, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on December 30, 2010, to acquire 17,924 common shares, representing 44.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Triple 8 Limited (“Triple 8”) from A.P. Holdings Limited (“APH”) (the “APH Agreement”). In consideration for its purchase the Company issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock and a Note Payable (the “APH Note”) in the principal amount of $1,200,000, bearing interest at an annual rate of 6% and convertible into 6 million shares of common stock. The APH Note was originally due on February 15, 2011. Concurrently, certain shareholders agreed to surrender 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation to avoid diluting the ownership of the other existing shareholders. Following the purchase of Triple 8 shares from APH, the Company entered into another Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 1,996 common shares, or 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triple 8, from the H.A.M. Group Limited (“HAM”). As a result, the Company’s ownership of Triple 8 increased to 49.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares. As consideration for its purchase, the Company issued HAM 12,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a 6% Convertible Debenture for $600,000, due September 30, 2011 (the “HAM Note”). The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, thus representing 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Company defaulted on its note payable to APH and on its obligation under the HAM Note. In order to avoid costly litigation and the potential detrimental impact of a judgment against the Company, as a result of two defaults, the Company entered into an agreement to annul its purchases of its ownership interest in Triple 8. As a part of the Annulment:
·
|
Triple 8 has agreed to pay the Company $2,001,000 (the “Triple Payments”) over time through November 2012. If Triple 8 fails to make any of the payments for a period of 60 days, it must transfer the original number of its common shares (17,924) purchased back to the Company. In addition, Triple 8 is not entitled to have any previous payments returned.
|
·
|
The Company issued a new $1,000,000 promissory note (the "CDOO Note") to an assignee of HAM and APH as consideration for the termination of the APH Note and the HAM Note, which were both in default. The assignee has the ability to foreclose on all shares of Triple 8 held by the Company. The CDOO note bears interest at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) and is due and payable in full on November 30, 2012. In the event that Triple 8 fails to make the Triple Payments, then the amount payable under the CDOO Note is to be reduced by half of the amount of any missed payment.
|
·
|
APH and HAM agreed to return all of their stock holdings to the Company for cancellation.
|
The Annulment closed on December 7, 2011, and the Company received its initial Triple Payment of $732,000 in cash at that time. Subsequently, the Company received Triple Payments in the aggregate amount of $653,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 per the terms of the agreement.
The Company initially accounted for its acquisition of Triple 8 using the acquisition method as prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method, the acquirer must recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Although the Company acquired less than 50% of the ownership of Triple 8, the use of the acquisition method and the accounting treatment of Triple 8 were considered appropriate because the Company believed that it had acquired control of Triple 8. The basis behind the determination that the Company acquired control of Triple 8 even though it owned a minority stake, was that an employee of the Company became the sole member of the Board of Triple 8’s operating subsidiary and continued to be in that role until June 2011. In addition, the Company believed that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation under U.S. GAAP as a Variable Interest Entity.
However, in June 2011, Triple 8’s operating subsidiary’s management unilaterally removed the Company’s employee from its Board and asserted its control over business operations. Since then, the Company has reevaluated its determination that it had acquired control of Triple 8 and that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation as a Variable Interest Entity. As a result, management concluded that it never really had control and that the use of the acquisition method of accounting was not appropriate. Upon reconsideration, management also concluded that Triple 8 was not subject to consolidation as a Variable Interest Entity essentially because the Company had no equity investment at risk. In coming to these conclusions, the Company considered the following:
1.
|
The fair value of the consideration paid in both of the Share Exchange Agreements is questionable. The original consideration included the Company’s stock and notes payable. Given that the fair value of the Company’s stock and the fair value of Triple 8 was difficult to determine and that the Company never made any cash payments for its obligations under the notes payable, there is a legitimate argument that no consideration was paid for the Triple 8 stock received under the Share Exchange Agreements.
|
a.
|
With respect to exchange value of the company’s stock, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements the Company’s stock was not trading. [Since then, the Company’s stock has been a thinly traded penny stock that has had a high level of price volatility with respect to what stock has been traded and has not been rated by any analysts.]
|
b.
|
With respect to value in use of the would-be acquiree, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements Triple 8 was a newly formed entity in business for only 2 years. Under the circumstances, any valuation of Triple 8 would be highly subjective. A market or cost approach to valuing Triple 8 was not feasible and an income approach requires highly subjective estimates about future operations, profits, and cash flows.
|
c.
|
The Company’s failure to make debt payments and the continuing revisions indicate that the Company’s Notes Payable were of little value to Triple 8’s sellers.
|
2.
|
The unilateral removal of the Company’s employee from the Triple 8 Board and Triple 8’s operating subsidiary management assertion of its control over business operations indicates the Company’s inability to control Triple 8.
|
These considerations have led the Company to conclude that the purchase of Triple 8 involved no real consideration. Furthermore, the Share Exchange Agreement transactions do not meet the conditions necessary to qualify as a business combination achieved without the transfer of consideration under U.S. GAAP.
The Company has also considered the use of the equity method and the cost method of accounting in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement transactions for the purchase of Triple 8. Generally, U.S. GAAP requires that investments in common stock or in entities over which the investor can exercise significant influence, but not control, be accounted for using the equity method. Otherwise, an investment should be accounted for at cost. In addition, the Company believes that its investment in Triple 8 should be accounted for at cost because it did not have significant influence over the period from the closing of the APH Agreement through to date of the annulment agreement. While the Company did not have significant influence over Triple 8 during that period, the counterparties to the annulment agreement acknowledged the Company’s investment by entering into the annulment agreement. Therefore, these financial statements have been restated to present the investment in Triple 8 on a cost basis, with cost being determined by the market value of the Company’s stock paid and the stated value of the note payable issued under the APH Agreement.
Presented below are restatements of the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to reflect the deconsolidation of Triple 8, a restatement for shares issued for services of $360,000 that had been previously been capitalized and correction of the weighted average common shares outstanding.

10. Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.
On or about June 13, 2011 the Company initiated a complaint against an individual and website for defamation, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, negligent and violations of business and professions codes. The Complaint was filled with the Superior Court of the State of California - County of San Diego. On August 22, 2011, the defendants filed a notice of motion to strike the complaint under the anti-slapp statute. On September 14, 2011, the Company submitted a request for dismissal, without prejudice to the court. On January 20, 2012 the court heard the defendants’ motion (where the Company failed to appear) and the judge ruled in favor of the defendant and awarded attorney fees and court costs in the amount of $21,462. The Company filed a motion to vacate the judgment and the motion was vacated..
On or around September 14, 2012, the judged awarded the defendant $12,000 in fees. The Company believes it is owed approximately the same amount by buying the interest in a different lawsuit which involved the same defendant. In that lawsuit, the rights to attorney fees and costs were awarded to the Company. The Company believes that the amounts due them from that particular lawsuit approximately equals the amount that it owes to satisfy the judgment against them.
11. Per Share Information
Loss per share
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share of common stock (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding. At September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 (restated), there were 26,232,169 and 11,005,071, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at September 30, 2012 arise from (x) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 15 million shares, (y) the issuance of the Rasel note which is convertible into 230,068 shares, and (z) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share which are convertible into 11,000,000 common shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock. 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.

General Overview
On April 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Software Licensing Agreement with Triple 8 Limited (“Triple 8”), which is a currency trading platform, organized under the laws of Cyprus whereby the Company licensed Triple 8’s proprietary trading software (the “Software”) for the purpose of developing a Forex Trading Platform and introducing prospective clients (“End Users”). Triple 8 created a website for the Company under the domain www.4xint.com which is blocked for US and Canadian clients. The Company maintains a corporate website under the domain www.forex-international-trading.com.
Triple 8 Investments and Settlement
On November 17, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the transaction was effectively closed on December 30, 2010) to acquire 17,924 common shares, representing 44.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Triple 8 Limited (“Triple 8”) from A.P. Holdings Limited (“APH”) (the “APH Agreement”). In consideration for its purchase, Forex issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock and a Note Payable (the “APH Note”) in the principal amount of $1,200,000, bearing interest at an annual rate of 6% and was convertible into 6 million shares of common stock. The APH Note was originally due on February 15, 2011. Concurrently, certain shareholders of Forex agreed to surrender 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation to avoid diluting the ownership of other existing shareholders.
Following the purchase of Triple 8 shares from APH, we entered into another Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 1,996 common shares, or 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triple 8, from the H.A.M. Group Limited (“HAM”). As a result, our ownership of Triple 8 increased to 49.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares. As consideration for its purchase, Forex issued HAM 12,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a 6% Convertible Debenture for $600,000, due September 30, 2011 (the “HAM Note”). The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, thus representing 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Company defaulted on its note payable to APH and on its obligation under the HAM Note. In order to avoid costly litigation and the potential detrimental impact of a judgment against the Company, as a result of two defaults, entered into an agreement to annul its purchases of its ownership interest in Triple 8. As a part of the Annulment:
·
|
Triple 8 has agreed to pay Forex $2,001,000 (the “Triple Payments”) over time through November 2012. If Triple 8 fails to make any of the payments for a period of 60 days, it must transfer the original number of its common shares (17,924) purchased back to the Company. In addition, Triple 8 is not entitled to have any previous payments returned.
|
·
|
Forex issued a new $1,000,000 promissory note (the "CDOO Note") to an assignee of HAM and APH as consideration for the termination of the APH Note and the HAM Note, which were both in default. The assignee has the ability to foreclose on all shares of Triple 8 held by the Company. The CDOO note bears interest at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) and is due and payable in full on November 30, 2012. In the event that Triple 8 fails to make the Triple Payments, then the amount payable under the CDOO Note is to be reduced by half of the amount of any missed payment.
|
·
|
APH and HAM agreed to return all of their stock holdings to the Company for cancellation.
|
The Annulment closed on December 7, 2011, and the Company received its initial Triple Payment of $732,000 in cash at that time. Subsequently, the Company received Triple Payments in the aggregate amount of $653,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 per the terms of the agreement.
Forex initially accounted for its acquisition of Triple 8 using the acquisition method as prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method, the acquirer must recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Although the Company acquired less than 50% of the ownership of Triple 8, the use of the acquisition method and the accounting treatment of Triple 8 were considered appropriate because Forex believed that it had both significant influences over the operations of Triple 8 as well as equity investment risk as the Triple 8’s primary beneficiary. The basis behind the determination that Forex had acquired control of Triple 8 even though it owned a minority stake in Triple 8, was that an employee of the Company became the sole member of the Board of Triple 8’s operating subsidiary and continued to be in that role until late June 2011. In addition, Forex believed that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation under U.S. GAAP as a Variable Interest Entity.
However in June 2011, Triple 8’s operating subsidiary’s management unilaterally removed our Company’s employee from its Board and asserted its control over business operations. Since then, the Company has reevaluated its determination that it had acquired control of Triple 8 and that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation as Variable Interest Entity. As a result, management has concluded that it never really had control and that the use of the acquisition method of accounting was not appropriate. Upon reconsideration, management also concluded that Triple 8 was not subject to consolidation as a Variable Interest Entity essentially because the Company had no equity investment at risk. In coming to these conclusions, Forex considered the following:
1.
|
The fair value of the consideration paid in both of the Share Exchange Agreements is questionable. The original consideration included the Company’s stock and notes payable. Given that the fair value of the Company’s stock and the fair value of Triple 8 was difficult to determine and that the Company never made any cash payments for its obligations under the notes payable, there is a legitimate argument that no consideration was paid for the Triple 8 stock received under the Share Exchange Agreements.
|
a.
|
With respect to exchange value of the Company’s stock, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements the Company’s stock was not trading. [Since then, the Company’s stock has been a thinly traded penny stock that has had a high level of price volatility with respect to what stock has been traded and has not been rated by any analysts.]
|
b.
|
With respect to value in use of the would-be acquiree, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements Triple 8 was a newly formed entity in business for only 2 years. Under the circumstances, any valuation of Triple 8 would be highly subjective. A market or cost approach to valuing Triple 8 was not feasible and an income approach requires highly subjective estimates about future operations, profits, and cash flows.
|
c.
|
The Company’s failure to make debt payments and the continuing revisions indicate that the Company’s Notes Payable were of little value to Triple 8’s sellers.
|
2.
|
The unilateral removal of the Company’s employee from the Triple 8 Board and Triple 8’s operating subsidiary management assertion of its control over business operations indicates the Company’s inability to control Triple 8.
|
These considerations have led the Company to conclude that the purchase of Triple 8 involved no real consideration. Furthermore, the Share Exchange Agreement transactions do not meet the conditions necessary to qualify as a business combination achieved without the transfer of consideration under U.S. GAAP.
The Company has also considered the use of the equity method and the cost method of accounting in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement transactions for the purchase of Triple 8. Generally, U.S. GAAP requires that investments in common stock or in entities, over which the investor can exercise significant influence, but not control, be accounted for using the equity method. Otherwise, an investment should be accounted for at cost. In addition, the Company believes that its investment in Triple 8 should be accounted for at cost during the period from the closing of the APH Agreement through to the date of the annulment agreement. While the Company did not have significant influence over Triple 8 during that period, the counterparties to the annulment agreement acknowledged the Company’s investment by entering into the annulment agreement. Therefore, these financial statements have been restated to present the investment in Triple 8 on a cost basis, as cost being determined by the market value of the Company’s stock paid and the stated value of the note payable issued under the APH Agreement. The gain on settlement of Triple 8 is accounted for as other income in the 2011 statement of operations.
This section of the report should be read together with Notes of the Company’s consolidated financials as well as the other matters described in this filing.

On November 1, 2011, the Company swapped its existing convertible notes outstanding to Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share representing 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Interest expense in fiscal 2012 is lower as a result of exchanging the convertible debt for Preferred Series B Shares. On April 29, 2011, GV Global Communications, Inc. (“GV”) provided funding to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $111,000 (the “Loan”). On September 25, 2012, the Company and GV entered into a separate conversion agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to convert the loan into 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, which resulted in a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $111,340 and is reflected in other income (expenses).

On November 1, 2011, the Company swapped its existing convertible notes outstanding to Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share representing 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Interest expense in fiscal 2012 is e lower as a result of exchanging the convertible debt for Preferred Series B Shares. On April 29, 2011, GV provided the Loan to the Company. On September 25, 2012, the Company and GV entered into a separate Conversion Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to convert the Loan into 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, which resulted in a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $111,340. In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a $100,000 recovery of a previously written off note receivable. We recorded a recovery of allowance for credit losses of $100,000 in the second quarter of 2012 when we received full collection of a $150,000 note that previously had been reserved for.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,920 and $411,656 for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, a decrease of $409,736.
Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $(393,602), and $(302,745), respectively. The primary reason for the use of cash in operations was the net loss incurred at September 30, 2012 and 2011; respectively Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a non cash loss on the settlement of a note payable converted to Series C preferred stock, and reduced its accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the period ending September 30, 2011, the Company had non- cash issuances of common shares of $362,000 for services, as well as an increase in its accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $757,598 and $(150,000), respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company collected a $150,000 note receivable and $653,926 from the settlement of the Triple 8 investment, and invested $31,328 in a joint venture in the solar industry. The Company issued a short-term receivable of $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $(773,732) and $17,816, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company paid $773,732 to reduce the Cordellia note balance. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company received $28,345 in proceeds from the private placement which began in December 2010 and bought back treasury shares in the amount of $10,529.
On February 13, 2012, Direct JV Investments Inc (“Direct JV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Direct JV”), entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc. (“Vulcan”), whereby the Company will from time to time provide financing to certain Vulcan alternative, green and solar energy projects (the “Projects”) with the goal of sharing in any rebates awarded by the government on any of the Projects. For all the Projects in the U.S. residential market, profits and losses of each of the Projects will be allocated at the conclusion of each fiscal year at a ratio of 60% to Vulcan and 40% to the Company. For all other projects, the profit and loss allocation will be determined on a case by case basis. There is no guarantee that the Projects will generate any revenues. As of September 30, 2012, Direct JV advanced Vulcan $31,328 per the agreements on specific projects.
On September 30, 2012, Vulcan entered into a cooperative joint venture with two other companies to form the entity Project Day4 Marketing (“PD4M”), Vulcan’s share of PD4M’s profits and losses is 40%. Per the joint venture agreement formed between the Company and Vulcan, the Company’s share of Vulcan’s profits and losses is 40%. Therefore, the Company’s share of the profits and losses for PD4M is 16%.
The Company had no income or loss from the joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Vulcan, in connection with its solar activities, imported from Canada approximately 50KW of solar panels (“Basis Inventory”) during the third quarter of 2012. Vulcan intends to commence marketing the Basis Inventory through cooperative agreement with third parties, with which the Company is not affiliated, and its own operation, in order to penetrate the Los Angeles market. Vulcan estimates that its cost for penetrating the market will be approximately $135,000 per month, and its costs consist of a small direct sales force, promotional expense, and overhead expenses.
The Company intends to invest approximately $242,000 by the end of the year in Vulcan to partially offset Vulcan’s expenses incurred in penetrating the Los Angeles market. The Company may invest up to $750,000 more in the Joint Venture in the next 12 months, depending on how quickly revenues ramp up. The subsequent investment may be a combination of cash and securities, and will be determined taking into account market conditions at the time that the investment is made.
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 must obtain additional funds through equity or debt financing, strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources. There is no guarantee that these sources would be available at all or available on acceptable terms.
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 $50,000 per month, minimum. We expect to be able to remain in operation for a period of 12 months with cash on hand and/or cash from collecting receivables and/or other debts. We also expect to receive monthly collections from our settlement agreement with Triple 8 to support our operations for the remainder 2012. The Company expects that its operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future and will depend on a number of factors including the state of the worldwide economy and financial markets, which are outside the Company's control.
The investment in Vulcan is expected to generate profit and loss activity in 2013, which may partially offset our need to raise funds to generate operating capital. Our investment in Vulcan will be offset by extending the maturity of the Glendon and Rasel notes payable. As of September 30, 2012, we cannot guarantee our ability to be able to extend the maturity of those notes at yearend.

Group Limited (“HAM“) and Cordellia d.o.o., a Croatian company ("CDOO"), third party which is not affiliated with the Company, entered into a Settlement and Foreclosure Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"), whereby the Company provided CDOO, as the assignee of HAM and APH, with the ability to foreclose on all shares of Triple 8 held by the Company in consideration of the termination of the APH Note and the HAM Note, which were in default, and the issuance of a new promissory note in the name of CDOO in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the "CDOO Note"). The CDOO note bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is due and payable in full on November 30, 2012. In the event that Triple 8 fails to make the Triple Payments, then the amount payable under the CDOO Note shall be reduced by half of the amount of the missed payment.
The balance of the CDOO note including accrued interest as of September 30, 2012 is $279,123.
ATL Note:
On July 8, 2010, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to a third party - 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.
On November 1, 2011, the Company and the ATL Indebted Parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement") whereby without admitting any wrongdoing on either part, the parties thereby settled all previous agreements and resolved any existing disputes. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the Indebted Parties 45,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company on a pro-rata basis, and the Undelivered Shares were returned to the treasury of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share representing 15,000,000 common shares. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis and carries standard anti-dilution rights.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.
As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the applicable period to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As a smaller reporting company, without material revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and U.S. GAAP compliance. As is the case with many smaller reporting companies, the Company will continue to work with its external auditors and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the foreseeable future. The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management's review of key financial documents and records.
As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis, and the Company's external auditor conducts reviews on a quarterly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as set forth above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal period ended September 30, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.
On or about June 13, 2011 the Company initiated a complaint against an individual and website for defamation, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, negligent and violations of business and professions code. The Complaint was filled with the Superior Court of the State of California - County of San Diego. On August 22, 2011, the defendants filed a notice of motion to strike the complaint under the anti-slapp statute. On September 14, 2011, the Company submitted a request for dismissal, without prejudice to the court.
On January 20, 2012 the court heard the defendant’s motion (the Company failed to appear) and the judge ruled in favor of the defendant as a default judgment and awarded attorney fees and court costs in the amount of $21,462. The Company filed a motion to vacate the judgment and the motion was vacated.
On or around September 14, 2012, the judged awarded the defendant $12,000 in fees. The Company believes it is owed approximately the same amount by buying the interest in a different lawsuit which involved the same defendant. In that lawsuit, the rights to attorney fees and costs were awarded to the Company. The Company believes that the amounts due them from that particular lawsuit approximately equals the amount that it ows to satisfy the judgement against them.
Other than the above, we are currently unaware of any such additional legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Repurchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer
On April 25, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 1,000,000 of its shares of common stock in open market transactions at the discretion of management. All stock repurchases will be subject to the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and other rules that govern such purchases. As of September 30, 2012 and as of December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 38,000 of its common shares in the open market, which were returned to treasury.
