ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Organization
Apps Genius Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 17, 2009. The Company’s principal business is focused on creating innovative social games and mobile applications that let people play together with real-world friends and family using the currently available infrastructure built by both social and mobile networks. The Company’s cross-platform gaming and mobile applications allow users to play and interact with multiple people on multiple networks whether or not they have a preexisting relationship with them. The Company’s Social Gaming and Mobile App technology allows users and players to reach across the multiple networks into a virtual application or gaming environment. Additionally, the Company has developed unique player incentive platforms that allow users to share in the success of the game or application. Currently, the Company is developing its platform for Facebook, MySpace, iPhone and Android.
Basis of presentation and going concern
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for Apps Genius Corp have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The Company was previously presented as a development stage company. Planned principal operations are underway and generating revenue, therefore the Company has exited the development stage.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $194,556 and $180,813, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and an accumulated deficit of $794,731 at September 30, 2011 and has minimal revenues. These matters raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, raise additional capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the 2011 and 2010 periods include the useful life of property and equipment, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation and fees.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Concentrations
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Balances at financial institutions in the United States are insured up to $250,000 at each bank. There were no deposits in excess of federally insured limits at September 30, 2011. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Concentration of revenue
The Company sells its products to its customers through five revenue sharing arrangements. The following represents identifiable concentrations for any arrangement where revenue exceeded 10% of the total revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 as follows:

|
0.0%
|
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company does not, based on a review of its outstanding balances, have an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
*
|
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
|
*
|
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
|
*
|
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
|
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and amounts due to related party approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Software development costs
Costs incurred in connection with the development of software products are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 985 “Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed.” Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense. Software development costs are capitalized after a product is determined to be technologically feasible and is in the process of being developed for market. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins upon initial product shipment. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated life of the related product (generally thirty-six months), using the straight-line method. The Company evaluates its software assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of software assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such software assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the software asset. During the 2011 and 2010 periods, the Company did not capitalize any software development costs.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews, long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. For all revenue sources discussed below, in accordance ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations”, the Company recognizes revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities pursuant to revenue sharing agreements. The Company’s specific revenue recognition policies are as follows:
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its social games and mobile applications (“Apps”) when the App is sold and downloaded by the customer and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenues from the placement of banner ads on its social games and mobile applications upon placement of the banner and when collection is reasonably assured.
Some of the Company’s social games contain a virtual currency or point systems that allow users to increase their game playing levels and gain special privileges. Users collect points by moving through the levels, buying them or by completing offers from third-party advertisers that convert into points or virtual currency. When a user completes an offer for one of our third-party advertisers, the advertiser pays the Company a commission. The commission is recognized as revenue upon completion of the offer and the receipt by the Company of an electronic confirmation from the advertiser and when collection is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of virtual currency to users upon the delivery of the virtual currency to the user’s account and when collection is reasonably assured.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
Income taxes
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the United States. The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to 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.
Under ASC Topic 740, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.
A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longermeet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. There were no options outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Advertising
Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expense was $215 and $2,000, respectively.
Research and development
Research and development costs which consist primarily of salaries and fees paid to third parties for the development of software and applications are expensed as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, research and development costs were $43,960 and $296,314, respectively.
Net loss per share of common stock
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

The Rodman Warrants shall have the same terms as the warrants (if any) issued to the Purchasers in the Placement except that the exercise price shall be 125% of the public offering price per share and the expiration date shall be five years from the effective date of the required registration statement.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Licensing Agreement
On October 17, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement (the “License Agreement”) with NEP Snooki Enterprises, LLC (the “Licensor”) and Starz Management & PR (“Starz”), which grants the Company the right to use Nicole Polizzi’s (known by the stage name “Snooki”) name and likeness in the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of social applications and social games (the “Apps”) to be released and offered on the Android, Apple's iOS, Facebook, and Google+ platforms. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company will develop a total of four Apps within one year of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), with the release of the first App scheduled for late November 2011. The term of the License (the “Term”) shall be one (1) year from the earlier of (i) the Release Date of fourth App described above or (ii) eight months after the Effective Date. In the event that the Company successfully releases four Products within the Term, the Company, with the mutual agreement of the parties and the payment of the an additional cash fee, shall be entitled to release up to four additional new Products and the Initial Term shall be extended for an additional one-year period.
In consideration for the exclusive license granted by Licensor during the Initial Term, the Company paid a non-refundable license fee of $55,000 (the “Cash Fee”). In the event that the Company and the Licensor mutually agree to extend the Term and produce additional products, then upon such mutual agreement, the Company shall pay an Additional Cash Fee of $50,000. The Company shall be entitled to recover the Cash Fees or Additional Cash Fees from any revenue generated by the sale of the products related to the License Agreement by deducting the Cash Fee (or Additional Cash Fees, if applicable) prior to the payment of any royalties, as described below; provided, however, the Company shall only be entitled to deduct a maximum of $13,750 for each product.
The Company shall pay Licensor non-returnable royalties (“Royalties”) in an amount equal to 50% of the revenue generated, directly or indirectly, from the virtual sale of the Products, advertising sponsorship, commercial tie-ins and/or product placement related to the licensed property, and shall pay Starz Royalties equal to 10% of the revenue generated from the sale of the products related to the licensed property. The revenue shall be calculated as the gross revenue less any mandatory third party commissions, including fees from all sites that sell and market the products and any additional marketing or advertising expenses, and any recovery of Cash Fees as permitted, as discussed above.
In addition, the Company has issued Licensor or assignees warrants exercisable for the purchase of 1,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.31 per share on a for-cash or cashless exercise basis (the “Warrants”) and 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Starz. The Warrants will be exercisable by Licensor until the later of (iii) one hundred fifty (150) days following the end of the Term (and any extensions thereto) or (iv) eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date. If at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant shares by the holder, then this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise.
The Company shall account for the equity instruments issued pursuant to the License Agreement in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”.
The Company calculated the fair value of the 1,100,000 warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded the fair value of $147,884 as a deferred license costs which will be amortized over the initial estimated license term of 18 months. In applying the Black-Scholes method, the Company calculated volatility based upon the volatility of several similar companies with historical market prices for their common stock, utilized discount rates obtained from the Federal Reserve Statistical Release for treasury instruments of the same duration, and an expected term based on the estimated contractual term of the warrants of 23 months. Since the expiration date of the warrants has not been determined, the fair market value of warrants granted pursuant to the License Agreement is subject to adjustment by the Company if the estimates of the initial expiration date changes.
In connection with issuance of the 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company valued these common shares at the fair value of $0.315 per common share based on the quoted trading price of the common stock on the grant date which is the measurement date. In connection with issuance of these common shares, the Company recorded a deferred license cost of $22,050 which will be amortized over the initial estimated license term of 18 months.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Plan of Operations
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 17, 2009 as Apps Genius Corp.
We create innovative social games and mobile application that let you play together with real-world friends and family using the infrastructure built by social and wireless networks. Our cross-platform gaming and mobile applications allow users to play and interact with the same people such user would play cards, board games or go bowling within the real world, regardless of the network they are on. Our Social Gaming and Mobile App technology allows users and players to reach across the different networks into a virtual application or gaming environment. Additionally, we have developed unique player incentive platforms that allow users to share in the success of the game or application. Currently we are developing our platform for Facebook, MySpace, iPhone and Android.
We monetize our social games through virtual currencies through Radium One (formerly gWallet) and banner ads through Cubics.com, a division of adKnowledge. Our mobile applications are monetized by either charging fees for downloading through the Apple iTunes Store or by offering free applications with banner advertising supplied by Cubics. To date, we have commenced limited operations and will require outside capital to implement our business model.
Limited Operating History
We have generated limited financial history and have not previously demonstrated that wewill be able to expand ourbusiness. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
14
Software development costs
Costs incurred in connection with the development of software products are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 985 “Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed.” Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense. Software development costs are capitalized after a product is determined to be technologically feasible and is in the process of being developed for market. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins upon initial product shipment. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated life of the related product (generally thirty-six months), using the straight-line method. The Company evaluates its software assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of software assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such software assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the software asset. We have not capitalized any software development costs.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. We did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. For all revenue sources discussed below, in accordance ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations”, we recognize revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities pursuant to revenue sharing agreements. Our specific revenue recognition policies are as follows:
We recognize revenue from the sale of our social games and mobile applications (“Apps”) when the App is sold and downloaded by the customer and collection is reasonably assured.
We recognize revenues from the placement of banner ads on social games and mobile applications upon placement of the banner and when collection is reasonably assured.
Some of the our social games contain a virtual currency or point systems that allow users to increase their game playing levels and gain special privileges. Users collect points by moving through the levels, buying them or by completing offers from third-party advertisers that convert into points or virtual currency. When a user completes an offer for one of our third-party advertisers, the advertiser pays us a commission. The commission is recognized as revenue upon completion of the offer and the receipt by us of an electronic confirmation from the advertiser and when collection is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of virtual currency to users upon the delivery of the virtual currency to the user’s account and when collection is reasonably assured.
Stock-based compensation
We account for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. There were no options outstanding as of September 30, 2011. We account for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, research and development expenses, which consists primarily of salaries and fees paid to third parties for the development of software and applications decreased by $252,354 or 85.2% as compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, research and development expenses decreased by $252,547 or 100% as compared to the same period in 2010. Due to a lack of working capital, we reduced the number of research and development personnel. In May 2011, we temporarily ceased our research and development activities until we generate sufficient revenues from our current portfolio of products or we are able to raise additional working capital funds from debt or equity financing or loans. At such time we will resume our research & development activities to develop new applications.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, administrative compensation decreased by $12,183 or 23.3% as compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, administrative compensation decreased by $30,108 or 71.5% as compared to the same period in 2010. We have reduced administrative staff due to the lack of working capital.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, professional fees decreased by $12,804 or 34.4% as compared to the same period in 2010. We expect professional fees to increase as we incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred stock based professional fees of $3,444 and $30,444 related to business development and investor relations services, respectively.

Other Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized interest income of $37 and $670, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized interest income of $0 and $568, respectively. The decrease in interest income was attributable to having a lower cash balance with which to earn interest on. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred aggregate interest expense of $704 and $704 related to outstanding notes payable and a related party note, respectively,
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $194,556 and $421,786, or a net loss per common share of $0.01 and $0.02 (basic and diluted), respectively. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $40,423 and $362,565, or a net loss per common share of $0.00 and $0.01 (basic and diluted), respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. To date, we have funded our operations through the sale of our common stock.
Our primary uses of cash have been for salaries and fees paid to third parties for the development of our products. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and establishing brand portfolios. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:
o
|
An increase in working capital requirements to finance additional product development,
|
|
o
|
Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
|
|
o
|
Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as the company expands within existing markets or enters new markets,
|
|
o
|
The cost of being a public company, and
|
|
o
|
Capital expenditures to add additional technology.
|
Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At September 30, 2011, we had a cash balance of $13,113. Since inception, we raised gross proceeds of $692,000 from the sale of common stock to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Additionally, from June 2011 to September 2011, we borrowed $80,000 ($75,000 from third parties and $5,000 from our chief executive officer). These funds were used to working capital purposes and to pay the fee for the License Agreement. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We do not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, grow our company, and to develop products as required by our License Agreement. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2011. Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be required to further curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern on their audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.
Assuming that we receive financing, our business plan within 12 months is outlined below:

Selling and marketing expenses- Sales and marketing is performed through the placement of ads on social media networks such as Facebook. Upon the resumption of the implementation of our business plan, we estimate that we will incur approximately $18,000 during a twelve month period on these advertisements.
Research and development activities- In May 2011, we temporarily ceased our research and development activities until we generate sufficient revenues from our current portfolio of products or we are able to raise additional working capital funds from debt or equity financing or loans. We have reduced our other research and development costs which presently only consist of hosting fees and server maintenance to approximately $1,000 per month. Upon the resumption of the implementation of our business plan, we estimate that we will incur approximately $250,000 during a twelve month period on research and development activities.

As of November 10, 2011, we have a cash balance of approximately $8,500. Accordingly, in order to pay our outstanding obligations of approximately $124,000 at September 30, 2011 and to continue to implement our business plan, we will need additional cash of $605,500 over the next 12 months assuming we collect expected sales of $100,000. Based on our projected monthly working capital needs, we need working capital to pay our outstanding obligations, to fund our business plan, and to continue operating. We have scaled back our operations, and have reduced our monthly operating expenses from $40,000 per month to under $5,000 per month. It will be unlikely that we will be able to pursue our overall business plan without raising additional working capital.

In connection with our plans to raise funds, we signed an agreement with Rodman &Renshaw, LLC ("Rodman" or the "Placement Agent"), whereby Rodman shall serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a "reasonable best efforts" basis, in connection with a proposed placement (the "Placement") of registered securities (the "Securities") of the Company, including shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares" or "Common Stock") and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. As compensation for the services provided by Rodman hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to Rodman:
(A) The fees set forth below with respect to the Placement:
1. A cash fee payable immediately upon the closing of the Placement and equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement.
2. Such number of warrants (the "Rodman Warrants") to Rodman or its designees at the Closing to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Shares sold in the Placement, plus any Shares underlying any convertible Securities sold in the Placement to such purchasers. The Rodman Warrants shall have the same terms as the warrants (if any) issued to the Purchasers in the Placement except that the exercise price shall be 125% of the public offering price per share and the expiration date shall be five years from the effective date of the required registration statement. The Rodman Warrants shall not have anti-dilution protections or be transferable for six months from the date of the Placement, except as permitted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (''FINRA'') Rule 5110, and further, the number of Shares underlying the Rodman Warrants shall be reduced if necessary to comply with FINRA rules or regulations.
(B) The Company agreed to pay Rodman a fee equal to 5% in kind consideration of the aggregate consideration paid or received by the Company in connection with a transaction consummated during the term or tail period, as defined, with (a) a candidate introduced to the Company by Rodman (a “Rodman Candidate”) or (b) a candidate introduced to the Company by a Rodman candidate. A transaction or combination of transactions shall include the purchase of sale of assets or outstanding stock, or a merger, acquisition or other business combinations.
(C) The Company also agreed to pay to Rodman a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement (provided, however, that such expense cap in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement). Such non-accountable expense allowance shall be payable immediately upon (but only in the event of) the closing of the Placement. In September 2011, we paid a $7,500 advance to Rodman upon execution of this Agreement, which shall be applied against the 2.0% non-accountable expense allowance.
Operating activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $180,813 and $437,381, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operations of $180,813 was primarily attributable to our net losses of $194,556 offset by the add back of non-cash items such as depreciation expense of $1,010, stock based compensation of $30,444, and contributed services of $6,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $23,711. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operation of $437,381 was primarily attributable to our net losses of $421,786 offset by the add back of non-cash items such as depreciation expense of $708 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(16,303).
Investing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 net cash used in investing activities were $0 and $5,895, respectively, and represented the purchase of property and equipment.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On September 19, 2011, we issued 400,000 shares of our common stock to a consultant for investor relations services rendered. We valued these common shares at the fair value of $0.31 per common share based on the quoted trading price of common stock on the grant date which is the measurement date. In connection with issuance of these common shares, the Company recorded professional fees in 2011 of $3,444 and a prepaid expense at September 30, 2011 of $120,556.
These issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of that Act,. Each person to whom the shares were issued was an accredited investor and acquired the shares for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution and received information concerning us, our business and our financial condition, and the stock certificates bear an investment legend. No brokerage fees were paid in connection with any of these stock issuances.
