NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
NOTE 1 – 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 is presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include application development, development of the Company’s business plan and the raising of capital. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $99,977 and $84,351, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and a deficit accumulated during development stage of $700,152 and stockholders’ equity of $15,468 at March 31, 2011 and is in the development stage with minimal revenues. 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.

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 March 31, 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 and geographic area
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 three months ending March 31, 2011 as follows:
Arrangement

||
2
|

|
62%
|
The Company has customers in countries other than USA. The customers located in the USA represented 70% of the total revenue.
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 March 31, 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, 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
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 three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
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.

APPS GENIUS CORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
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 longer
meet 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from December 17, 2009 (inception) to March 31, 2011, advertising expense was $215, $0 and $10,564 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from December 17, 2009 (inception) to March 31, 2011, research and development costs were $36,177, $43,767 and $412,099, 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 March 31, 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
Equity Incentive Plan
On September 23, 2010, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved the Apps Genius Corp Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which covers 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by enhancing the ability of the Company to (i) attract and retain employees and other persons or entities who are in a position to make significant contributions to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) reward such persons for such contributions; and (iii) encourage such persons or entities to take into account the long-term interest of the Company through ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share.
The Plan is intended to accomplish these objectives by enabling the Company to grant awards in the form of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, or other stock based awards. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company or, upon its delegation, by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Plan became effective on September 23, 2010 and will terminate on September 23, 2020.
Subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Plan shall be five million (5,000,000) shares; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days of the end of each fiscal year following the adoption of the Plan, the Board, in its discretion, may increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan by an amount not greater than the difference between (i) the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 15% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.
As of May 13, 2011, no shares of common stock have been issued under the Plan.

Item 2. 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.
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 gWallet and banner ads through Cubic.com, a division of adKnowledge. Our mobile applications are monetized by either charging fees for downloading through the iTunes Apple 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 we will be able to expand our business. 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 three months ended March 31, 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.
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.
12
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 three months ended March 31, 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 its 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 March 31, 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.
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized revenues of $6,107 and $53 respectively from the sale of applications and from advertising. This was an increase of $6,054 was mainly attributable to the sale of applications and advertising revenues related to games that were not yet developed in the 2010 period.

Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, operating expenses amounted to $106,117 and $59,376 respectively, and consisted of the following:

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred research and development expenses of $36,177 and $43,767 respectively, which consists primarily of salaries and fees paid to third parties for the development of software and applications. 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred administrative compensation of $7,000 and $10,100 respectively. We have reduced administrative staff due to the lack of working capital.
|
·
|
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred professional fees of $47,382 and $325 respectively. 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.
|
·
|
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $15,598 and $5,184 respectively, consisting of computer and internet expenses of $4,032 and $274, and rent of $3,300 and $1,000, respectively, and other administrative expenses. We will continue to reduce our general and administrative expenses because of our lack of working capital until we are able to raise additional funds, at such time we will resume the implementation of our business plan.
|
Other Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized interest income of $33 and $102 respectively.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $99,977 and $59,221 respectively, or $0.00 and $0.00 per common share (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 March 31, 2011, we had a cash balance of $37,075 and a working capital of $10,054. Since inception, we raised $692,000 from the sale of common stock to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. 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, and grow our company. 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.
14
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.

Selling and marketing expenses- Sales and marketing is performed through the placement of ads on social media networks such as Facebook. We estimate that we will incur approximately $18,000 in the next 12 months 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.

As of May 10, 2011, we have a cash balance of approximately $17,600. Accordingly, we will need additional cash of $395,400 to continue the implementation our business plan over the next 12 months assuming we collect expected sales of $60,000. Based on our projected monthly working capital needs, we have approximately three months of working capital remaining. 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.
