General
We were incorporated in the State of California on December 14, 2001. We are a customer experience management solutions company, focused on helping large, medium and small enterprises plan, measure and improve the experiences that they deliver to their customers. We currently offer professional and software-enabled services, and are developing on-demand software solutions designed to measure, optimize and improve customer experiences for businesses of all sizes.
We maintain our primary business address at 201 Spear Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA 94105. Our telephone number is (415) 526-2655. Our registered agent for service of process is National Registered Agents, Inc.
Industry Background
It is generally recognized by executive management in large, medium and small enterprises that business value is derived from its customers. Consequently, companies have been trying to improve customer relationships for years, investing heavily in technologies and services such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Marketing Management Consulting and Marketing Research industry sectors.
In our opinion, these three industry sectors exist for only one reason: to help corporations better understand and serve their customers by driving insights into customer actions, opinions and perceptions, and devising strategies to accomplish these things.
Yet investments in these areas are costly, time consuming and resource intensive, each requiring complex, industry- and company-specific customization.
Enter Customer Experience Management (CEM). CEM is a series of disciplines, methodologies and processes used to understand, measure and comprehensively manage a customer’s cross-channel interactions and transactions with a company.
While the CEM ecosystem is broad and complex, our solutions are focused on the needs of large, medium and small enterprises specifically interested in voice-of-the-customer insights, and a straightforward way to gather, measure, monitor and improve customer experience over time.
We believe that a series of three macro trends sets the stage for market acceptance of our solutions. These trends include:
|
§
|
Digitally-empowered consumers are changing the traditional company-customer dynamic: Until recently, corporations have been able to ‘control’ customer relationships in large part because they controlled customer data and access to information. With the now wide-spread adoption of smart phones and broadband wireless access, customers are able to quickly assess competitive alternatives. As a result, many businesses run the risk of becoming “perceptually commoditized” unless they can offer customers a differentiated customer experience.
|
|
§
|
Market interest in Customer Experience Management: In the face of this first trend, a large majority of corporate executives have said that customer experience strategies are an important part of their organization’s agenda, and that it is critical to their future success. The reasons for this are generally recognized to be the ability of a firm to better compete in an otherwise commoditized business by offering superior customer experiences.
|
|
§
|
Widespread acceptance of cloud computing. Cloud computing – including hosted data, on-demand software and services in the “cloud” – has gained widespread acceptance with corporate IT departments as well as consumers. As a result, the historical cost structure associated with designing, maintaining and upgrading software has changed dramatically, making it easier to and less expensive by historical standards to scale growth and control product development.
|
In our opinion, improving customer experience drives significant value for corporations, increasing loyalty, driving brand engagement and helping customers stay longer and buy more. As a result, we believe that in the coming years companies are likely to invest heavily to improve customer experience, shifting existing budgets from the areas of marketing management consulting, marketing research and customer relationship management to the emerging market of Customer Experience Management.
Our Strategy
In mid-2010, we made the decision to shift the strategic focus of our business from a primary focus on professional services with software in a secondary, supporting role to a primary focus on on-demand software solutions and software-enabled services. With this refocusing, professional services are migrating to a secondary role supporting our software deployment.
Our decision to re-focus our business on the development of on-demand, Internet cloud-based (SaaS) software and software-enabled professional and consulting services was based primarily on the scalability of these products and related services versus non- software-enabled professional and consulting services. By commercializing our Touchpoint Mapping® analytical and research methodologies as software, our firm has the potential to grow more rapidly and profitably because we plan to leverage technology to scale our business, versus the labor or capital investment requirements required to scale a typical service business.
Once we made the decision to shift the strategic focus of our business, we made the further decision to do so utilizing the expertise of available staff and resources, rather than committing to the significant expense of bringing new, untested resources to bear. As a result, we narrowed our service offerings in a shift away from implementation-oriented projects towards strategy, focusing delivery efforts on more profitable customers, while re-tasking other resources to focus on “productizing” our service offerings in an on-demand software platform. Just as we shifted resources away from implementation-oriented projects towards product development, we anticipate that we will shift a portion of these resources away from product development and back towards service delivery, as immediate product development requirements are replaced by the need to engage in sales and resulting product support.
The market factors that make this strategy both possible and strategically relevant include the widespread acceptance of cloud computing, which means that the historical cost structure associated with designing, maintaining and upgrading software has changed dramatically, making it both easier to and less expensive by historical standards to scale growth and control product development. Additionally,
there has been increasing market interest in and global demand for Customer Experience Management solutions, which can be met more easily through a distributed, cloud-based technology solution delivered through a global partner and reseller distribution channel.
We plan to use our expertise as a customer experience strategy expert to create a leading customer experience management technology company. Our ability to accomplish these goals will stem from the commercialization of Touchpoint Mapping®, our analytical and research methodologies delivered in the form of on-demand, Internet cloud-based (SaaS) software and software-enabled professional and consulting services, the business intelligence which we derive as a result, and the licensing of our proprietary systems as we continue to develop products and services that help companies better serve their customers by improving their ability to manage customer experience, thereby reducing or eliminating bad experiences for their customers.
Research-based approach to “outside in” customer insights:
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) -- which generally doesn’t take into account a customer’s view of the company, and usually doesn’t capture how these interactions make customers feel -- relies on an internally-generated “inside out” view of the customer. Touchpoint Mapping provides a Voice of the Customer (VoC) based, “outside-in” view of the customer. It is a fact-based approach that can help companies impact experience by measuring the customers’ perspective, as well as how well their wants and needs are being met.
Best-in-breed technology and integration:
Our product solution is designed to be highly scalable and cloud-based, and uses a combination of proprietary and commercially available software. With the continued growth and widespread acceptance of cloud computing, our firm can leverage multiple, separate purpose-built technologies through strategic commercial relationships on a subscription or other similar fee basis, allowing us to limit technology risk (including development costs), while focusing product development on those areas of proprietary technology and services creation that drive the greatest enterprise value for the firm.
Licensee and partner distribution channels
In addition to direct sales, we plan to establish a global partner and reseller distribution channel. We anticipate that these will primarily be small and medium-size companies such as general business management consulting firms, CRM consultants, ad agencies and social media marketing firms, industry-focused technology and consulting firms and others looking for new ways to drive revenue and provide insights to existing customers.
Our Services and Software Products
We currently offer professional and software-enabled services, and are engaged in the business of developing and subsequently selling on-demand software solutions designed to optimize customer experiences for businesses of all sizes. These professional and software-enabled services and our on-demand software together fall into the broader category of Customer Experience Management (CEM).
Our currently offered professional services fall into three primary categories; consulting services, creative and production services and research services. Consulting services include strategy development, planning, education, training and best practices consulting. Creative and production services are primarily related to the articulation and implementation of customer-centric strategies. Research services include the development and execution of customized research and analytical solutions, based on a client’s specific business application. Consulting, creative and research services have been offered primarily through our consulting services group, MCorp, which is a dba of the Company. Our currently offered software-enabled services leverage the analytical frameworks of Touchpoint Mapping and our currently offered research services, with a particular focus on analytical solutions in support of customer experience improvement initiatives.
Our primary on-demand software products include scalable, cloud-based software which will help large, medium and small enterprises gather and display customer experience insights and business intelligence in near real-time.
Our services and software products will help our client companies better understand both positive and negative customer perceptions of customer experience and the specific interactions that drive these perceptions. As a result, the data which is gathered by and displayed in our Touchpoint Mapping® products is designed to help our clients increase their understanding of their customers, providing them the detailed insights they need to take action to improve customer experiences, driving increased customer value in these primary areas:
|
§
|
Increase retention, by keeping customers longer;
|
|
§
|
Get existing customers to spend more, more often;
|
|
§
|
Increase acquisition of new customers through positive word-of-mouth, and;
|
|
§
|
Reduce the cost of serving customers by improving or eliminating ineffective interactions.
|
Our business strategies, product development and sales and marketing efforts are focused around the commercialization of five primary revenue streams. These include a focus on the small and medium enterprises with Touchpoint Mapping® on-demand, which will be customized and pre-populated for targeted industry niches – e.g., banking, home building, hospitals and hospitality. Secondly, we plan to focus on needs of medium-sized enterprises across multiple industries with “semi-custom” Touchpoint Mapping on demand, which will populate our basic, pre-configured on-demand software with a combination of industry- and client-specific data. Third, we plan to focus on the needs of large enterprises, with fully-customized Touchpoint Mapping on-demand products and software-enabled services, leveraging the data gathering and analytical frameworks of all Touchpoint Mapping products and services, but would also include the potential to be modified dramatically based on the data gathering and reporting requirements of different organizations. Our fourth revenue stream is expected to generate revenue from large, medium and small enterprises, and will include consulting, education, research, creative and production services sold either with an initial software license, or on a fee-for-service basis, fully dependent on the needs of our clients’ organizations. The fifth area includes aggregation and analysis of industry data, to be used for the development of related information products. We plan to license all products and services for distribution worldwide.
Touchpoint Mapping®
Currently, we offer one product for sale to our customers. It is Touchpoint Mapping® on-demand. Pricing of Touchpoint Mapping® on-demand varies based on industry, size of company, number of employees, number of locations, number of customers and other variables.
We have customized it for small and medium enterprises in the banking industry, and began sales and marketing activities in August of 2012. However, no revenues have been generated from the sale thereof. We have also customized it for small and medium enterprises in the home building industry, and began marketing activities in the 4th Quarter of 2012.
“Semi-custom” Touchpoint Mapping® on-demand, customized software that is prepared for the particular needs of particular clients and focused on medium-sized enterprises across multiple industries, is also is available for sale to customers today. Sales and marketing activities began in September of 2012, however, no revenues have been generated from the sale thereof.
In 2013, we anticipate further developing Touchpoint Mapping on-demand by customizing it for small and medium enterprises in the hospital and hospitality industries.
Product Launch
The product launch will include the active promotion of our first and second industry-specific products, including: Bank Touchpoint Mapping, to mid-size, regional and community banks and credit unions, and Builder Touchpoint Mapping to mid-size, regional residential real estate developers. We will distribute press releases to industry publications, conduct webinars showcasing product benefits, and engage in direct sales activities to potential customers throughout North America.
Both Bank Touchpoint Mapping and Builder Touchpoint Mapping have been fully developed, and have completed live beta testing and user feedback with prospective customers.
There are many potential unforeseen and significant market and competitive risks associated with launching any new product in any market. It is our expectation that numerous unforeseen challenges will be encountered as we enter banking, as well as subsequent markets. These include the fact that we are early in market, which may extend the sales cycle. While Customer Experience Management is a concept that is becoming well recognized, some companies may be confused by the differences with Customer Relationship Management or be wedded to more traditional customer satisfaction approaches. Some existing Customer Relationship Management vendors are rebranding their Customer Relationship Management software as Customer Experience Management, which has the potential to create both unforeseen competitive barriers and market confusion.
There are a number of significant features of the product which can help companies impact experience by measuring the customers’ perspective, as well as how well their wants and needs are being met. These include the ability to pinpoint which specific interactions are meeting customer wants and needs and which are not, by measuring the gap between customer expectations and the actual customer experience they receive. In addition to customer insight, Touchpoint Mapping on-demand collects data on direct competitors’ customers to provide insight on competitive threats. Touchpoint Mapping on-demand also identifies where gaps in alignment exist in customer and employee perceptions of experience, to help companies’ target and focus efforts.
Competition
Multiple potential competitors exist in the overlapping areas of marketing research, CRM and marketing management consulting. These include both large and small management consulting firms and more often smaller Customer Experience Management (CEM) consulting firms. In addition, many CRM
software companies are beginning to include CEM-specific insights as adjunct capabilities to their existing platforms, and as a result these companies have the ability to compete directly with us as well. Given the growth of CEM, there are likely to be many other competitors we have not identified.
Petro Portfolio
On July 16, 2007, we acquired certain assets of International Resource Management Corp. The assets were a media property comprised of a website and a registered domain name (petroportfolio.com), a newsletter, a database of opt-in email subscribers, and a library of related content. The consideration for purchase of the assets was 262,302 restricted shares of our common stock. We valued the shares at $0.50 per share. The value of the assets was agreed upon by International Resource Management Corp. and us in an arm’s length transaction based upon International Resource Management Corp.’s total investments in developing the assets, as well as our belief that the assets had the potential to generate revenues for us. At the time of the acquisition, International Resource Management Corp. owned less that 10% of our outstanding shares of common stock and was not an affiliate. Subsequent to the acquisition of the assets, International Resource Management Corp. acquired additional shares of our common stock and currently owns 1,962,302 shares of our common stock or 14.94% of our total outstanding shares of common stock. The assets were used to operate a website and distribute a newsletter and were active from the time of purchase until mid-2008. However, our belief that there was an adverse business climate for media properties resulted in our decision to cease all Petro Portfolio-related activities in late 2008. While the assets have not been updated since this time we currently believe that the assets have potential to generate revenues, and we are unwilling at the present time to re-initiate operations of them. Further, there is no assurance that we will re-initiate activities in the future. We carried the assets on our financial statements at $131,151.00 which reflected the 262,302 restricted shares of common stock which were valued at $0.50 per share. In the second quarter of 2012 we elected to impair the assets in the amount of $72,000 and now carry the assets on our financial statements at $59,151. The impairment was calculated following a review of the assets for indicators of impairment. Three separate tests for recoverability were conducted, including 1) analysis of undiscounted future cash flows, 2) the fair market cost of recreating the assets, and 3) an analysis of costs to return the assets to their relative market position at the time operations ceased, based on management’s opinion. The resulting charge for impairment was based on management’s review of these analyses, and accurately represents management’s opinion of current value.
Insurance
We maintain health insurance, workman’s compensation and general liability insurance.
Employees
We currently have five full-time employees and nine independent contractors. We intend to hire more employees and independent contractors on an as-needed basis.
Offices
We have four business addresses. Our primary business address is located at 201 Spear Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Our additional addresses include a business office in San Anselmo, California located at 251 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, 94960. We lease the aforementioned from the Annette Kaufman Survivor Trust, 2 Magnolia Avenue, San Anselmo, CA 94960 pursuant to a 36 month lease entered into on August 15, 2010. Our monthly rental was $1,788 until July 18, 2012 and $1,840 thereafter.
Our office in Charlotte, North Carolina is located at 15720 John J. Delaney Dr., Suite 300, 28277. We lease the San Francisco and Charlotte spaces from Davinci Virtual LLC, 2150 South 1300 East, Suite 200, Salt Lake City UT 84106 pursuant to a commercial lease on a month to month basis. Our monthly rental is $190.00 for our San Francisco location and $80.00 per month for our Charlotte, North Carolina location. Our office in Vancouver, British Columbia is located at 2901-1050 Burrard Street, V6Z 2S3 (Canada), and is made available to us for no charge on a month-to-month basis under a verbal contract, by IREMCO. IREMCO is a controlling shareholder of Touchpoint Metrics.
Government Regulation
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
None.
Our corporate headquarters are in leased space located in San Francisco, California. The Company also leases office space in San Anselmo, California and Charlotte, North Carolina. We lease the San Anselmo office pursuant to a 36 month lease entered into on August 15, 2010. Our monthly rental under this lease is $1,840. We lease the San Francisco and Charlotte spaces pursuant to a commercial lease on a month to month basis. Our total monthly rental for the two locations is $270.00. Our office in Vancouver, British Columbia is made available to us for no charge on a month-to-month basis under a verbal contract, by IREMCO. IREMCO is a controlling shareholder of Touchpoint Metrics. In 2007, we obtained undeveloped, real property in the unincorporated area of Blue Lake County of Lake, California.
We believe that our existing facilities and offices are adequate to meet our current requirements. If we require additional space, we believe that we will be able to obtain such space on acceptable, commercially reasonable terms.
We are not presently a party to any litigation.
None.

We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must
make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as bid and offer quotes, a dealers spread and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers’ duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers’ rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis 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,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Overview
We are engaged in the business of developing and delivering technology-enabled products and services that improve customer experience management capabilities for corporations.
Customer experience management is the collection of processes a company uses to track, oversee and organize interactions between a customer and the organization throughout the customer lifecycle. The goal of customer experience management is to optimize interactions from the customer’s perspective and, as a result, foster customer loyalty.
Until 2011, our professional services included consulting services, creative and production services and research services. In 2012, we narrowed our service offerings to consulting services in order to focus more resources on developing our software product, Touchpoint Mapping® On-Demand. All of our professional services are software-enabled, using technology to more efficiently deliver solutions supporting customer experience improvement initiatives.
Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand is a data gathering and analytical software that gathers and analyzes feedback on customer interactions from the customers’ and client employees’ perspectives, and delivers the results to clients over the Internet as a SaaS (software-as-a-service) based technology platform that helps companies automate and systematize customer experience feedback. Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand has been customized and pre-populated for small and medium enterprises in the banking industry, and as a “semi-custom” offering for medium enterprises across multiple industries.
Development is ongoing, as Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand is refined and improved based on customer feedback, and as it is customized for specific industry sectors. The services delivered with Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand may include consulting, creative and production and research services, in addition to planned services such as assessment, product implementation, and additional offline analysis of data gathered and reporting.
Although we began sales and marketing activities for Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand in 2012, we cannot predict the timing, nor probability, of generating sales revenue from the product as we currently do not have dedicated sales professionals on staff to identify and develop product sales opportunities.
Sources of Revenue
Our revenue consisted primarily of professional consulting services in 2012, while derived from professional consulting services, creative and production services, research services, and products in 2011. Consulting services include strategy, planning, education, training and best practices consulting. Creative and production services are primarily related to the articulation and implementation of customer-centric strategies. Research services include the development and execution of customized research and analytical solutions, based on a client’s specific business application. Product revenue is from productized and software-enabled service sales not elsewhere classified, while other revenue includes reimbursement of related travel costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
While our plan of operations is based on migrating the majority of our service revenue from these categories to recurring SaaS subscription fees, we anticipate that fees for professional consulting services will remain a significant revenue source in the near future. As of December 31, 2012, we have not obtained a sales commitment for our software product, Touchpoint Mapping® On-Demand. We have not engaged the necessary sales staff to develop and execute product sales opportunities and cannot predict when those positions will be filled.
Should we successfully launch Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand, we anticipate that subscription agreements and related professional services associated with delivering our software solutions will become a source of significant revenue. Subscriptions and associated professional services pricing will be based upon our gross margin objectives, growth strategies and the specific needs of our clients’ organizations, measured primarily by the following metrics: industry type, size of company, number of locations and number of seats. Additional fees will be assessed based on the number and type of customer, non-customer and employee records uploaded to our software portal, and subsequently surveyed by our customers.
We anticipate that subscription agreements for our software solutions will be offered as monthly term agreements which contain a minimum commitment period of at least 12 months, and which include related setup, upgrades, hosting and support. Professional services will include consulting fees related to implementation, customization, configuration, training and any other value added services.
Based on data gathered during setup of our beta client engagements, we believe the average time it will take our clients from placing an order to live deployment of our products is between 30 and 45 days. We plan to invoice clients upon inception of their subscription agreements for setup and total subscription fees contracted over the term of the agreements, with payment due within 30 days. Professional services related to the subscription agreements will be invoiced at the inception of the professional services agreement at one-third or fifty percent of total fees, with the balance of payments due over the duration of the contract as project milestones are met. Amounts invoiced will be recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses
Our costs of revenue and operating expenses are detailed at the sub-category level in our Income Statements. And while the financial results for these categories are further explained in the Results of Operations section below, a general description of these categories follows:
1) Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of expenses directly related to providing professional and consulting services. Those expenses include contract labor, third-party services and subscriptions, materials and travel expenses related to providing professional services to our clients.
As Touchpoint Mapping® On-Demand is launched, costs of goods will include all product-related hosting and monitoring costs, licenses for products embedded in the application, related sales commissions, service support, account management and credit card fees.
Should our client base grow, we intend to continue to invest additional resources in our hosting, technical support and professional services, as well as our utilization of third-party licensed software. We expect our professional services costs to increase in absolute dollars as we increase our overall revenue, but expect that professional services as a percentage of total revenue will decrease as we continue to shift
our business towards sales of on-demand software solutions and software-enabled services. Because cost as a percentage of revenue is higher for professional services revenue than for software, hosting and support revenue, a decrease in professional services as a percentage of total revenue will likely increase gross profit as a percentage of total revenue.
2) General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses for management, finance and accounting, legal, information systems and human resources personnel. Expenses also include contract services, administrative costs, automobile expenses, computer and software expenses, insurance, marketing and promotion, professional fees, rent and a portion of travel expenses and other overhead.
Sales and marketing expenses are currently reflected in contract labor, salaries and wages, marketing and promotion and other related overhead expense categories. While we have not yet recognized commissionable sales for Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand, we plan to expense product sales commissions through cost of goods sold. Since we will be recognizing revenue over the terms of the subscriptions or professional services engagements, we expect to experience a delay between increases in selling and marketing expenses and the recognition of revenue. We expect significant increases in sales and marketing expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of expenses as we hire sales and additional marketing personnel and increase the level of marketing activities.
In 2011, research and development expenses consisted of preliminary project stage activities and are reflected in contract labor, salaries and wages and other related overhead expense categories. The majority of product development expenses during the last three quarters of 2012 related to application development stage expenses and were capitalized on our balance sheet, to be amortized over the estimated useful life.
We expect that total general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel in connection with the growth of our business. In addition to increases in sales and marketing and research and development expenses, we anticipate we will also incur additional employee salaries and related expenses, professional service fees and insurance costs related to the growth of our business and operations to meet the requirements of a public company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, income taxes, stock-based compensation, research and development costs and the impairment of long-lived assets, have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We plan to enter into arrangements with multiple-deliverables that generally include nonrefundable setup fees, subscription fees, professional services and consulting fees. We account for multiple-element arrangements by following ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.
Under the accounting guidance, in order to treat deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. To date, we have concluded that subscription services and the associated nonrefundable setup fees do not have standalone value as such services are not sold separately, while professional services and consulting fees included in multiple-deliverable arrangements executed have standalone value as they are often sold separately and will have value to the customer on a standalone basis.
Under the accounting guidance, when multiple-deliverables included in an arrangement are separated into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units based on a relative selling price hierarchy. We determine the relative selling price for a deliverable based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available; and our best estimate of selling price (“BESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Due to the introduction of the new product, and its related services, and due to differences in our service offerings compared to other parties and the lack of availability of relevant third-party pricing information, we have determined that VSOE and TPE are not practical alternatives. Therefore, the company uses BESP to determine selling price of significant deliverables.
We determine BESP by considering our overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include our discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, the customer demographic and our market strategy. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by management, taking into consideration our market strategy. As our market strategy evolves, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative selling prices, including BESP.
Revenue recognition requires judgment, including whether the arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether VSOE or TPE of fair value exists for those elements. A portion of revenue may be recorded as unearned due to undelivered elements. Changes to the elements in a software arrangement, the ability to identify VSOE, TPE or BSEP for those elements, and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. Judgment is also required to assess whether future releases of certain software represent new products or upgrades and enhancements to existing products. Variations in the actual outcome of these variables could materially impact our financial statements.
Income Taxes
The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Accounting literature provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax
positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date using a Black-Scholes valuation model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment and assumptions, including expected volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be impacted.
Research and Development Costs
We capitalize the software development costs incurred during the application development stage of certain internally developed computer software to be sold as a service when application development begins, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. Our policy provides for the capitalization of certain external direct costs of materials and services associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software and certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with the computer software development projects. The capitalized costs are included in other assets on our balance sheets. Straight-line amortization of these costs over the estimated useful life, which is typically three years, is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. Judgment is required in determining when the application development stage has begun as well as in allocating certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the projects.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related assets. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are considered impaired and an expense, equal to the amount required to reduce the carrying value of the assets to the estimated fair value, is recorded in the statements of operations. Significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows.
Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts. Impairment charges could materially decrease our future net income and result in lower asset values on our balance sheet.

Revenue
Our revenues for year ended December 31, 2012 were $900,132 as compared to revenues of $611,374 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Revenues increased by $288,758, or 47%. Consulting revenues were $833,609 as compared to $290,221 in the previous year, an increase of $543,388 or 187%. Products & Other revenue increased by $18,652 or 39%, to $66,523, while revenues from Creative & Production Services and Research services decreased by 100%. These changes are due primarily to the acquisition of two significant consulting engagements in Q4 of 2012 and a shift away from implementation-oriented projects, such as Creative & Production and Research services, towards strategy services consulting and product development.
Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $203,913 and $241,874, respectively, representing a decrease of $37,961 or 16%. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased by 17% from 2011. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased from historical results as we have narrowed our service offerings and focused our efforts on our more profitable professional services and consulting customers. We have also sourced more cost-effective vendors, thus lowering the total cost of direct labor and associated services related to our service offerings.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was 112% and 128% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Administrative expenses increased by $10,886 to $42,431 over 2011 as a result of increases in interest expense, third party administrative costs associated with a significant consulting engagement entered into in Q4 of 2012 and filing fees related to our trademarks filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Automobile expenses decreased by $8,895 to $13,528 during the year ended December 31, 2012 over 2011. This 40% decrease primarily resulted from refinancing an auto lease and decreases in gas, parking and tolls related to a strategic reduction in business development strategies requiring travel to prospect locations.
Computers and software expenses increased by $43,694 to $65,681 during 2012 as a result of investments in the third party software and technology required in the planning and preliminary project development stage of our SaaS product Touchpoint Mapping® On-Demand.
Contract services expenses increased by $73,165, or 82%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 to $162,206 from $89,041 during the previous year. The increase primarily relates to significant expansion in research and development and business development activities, in accordance with our strategic plan.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, insurance expenses decreased by 20%, or $6,761 over the comparative period in 2011 to $27,003 primarily due to the capitalization of certain portions of benefits for employees directly associated with the development of our SaaS product Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased by 33%, or $10,722 in 2012 to $43,046 primarily due to referral fees incurred, as well as advertising placed and marketing materials developed in support of our business development efforts.
Professional fees increased by $34,785, or 77%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 to $80,262 from $45,475 during the year ended December 31, 2011. This is a direct result of the increase in use of technology and market research services to aid in our efforts to initiate marketing our SaaS product, as well as the legal, accounting and advisory services related to our registration with the SEC.
Salaries and wages increased by $83,851, or 19%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 to $523,452 from $439,601 during the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase primarily relates to significant expansion in research and development and business development activities, as well as the addition of administrative and project management staff, in accordance with our strategic plan.
Travel expenses decreased by $13,843, or 54% during the year ended December 31, 2012 to $12,049 from $25,892 during 2011. This decrease primarily relates to our strategic move towards an emphasis on internet-based business development strategies.

In 2011, we financed our operations, working capital needs and product development through operating activities, debt financing, and private sales of common stock. Specifically, we received an aggregate of $40,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of stock in 2011 as well as $150,000 from non-convertible, long-term debt instruments. A $100,000 CDN note was executed with Brad Holland, an 8.09% shareholder on September 16, 2011. The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 4% APR non-compounding accrued interest. The maturity date of the note is September 16, 2014. The principal and accrued interest payable at maturity will be $112,000. A $50,000 USD note was executed with McLellan Investment Corporation, an unrelated party, on September 7, 2011. The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 4% APR non-compounding accrued interest. The maturity date of the note is September 7, 2014. The principal and accrued interest payable at maturity will be $56,000.
Through the year ended December 31, 2012 we were able to finance our operations, including capital expenditures for infrastructure, product development and marketing through operating activities, cash on hand, and additional private sales of common stock. In 2012, we received an aggregate of $595,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Subsequent to December 31, 2012, material revenues receivable from two significant services engagements exceeded their payment terms by over 45 days. This resulted in material fluctuations in our cash flow and necessitated a $25,000 short-term, non-convertible debt instrument to be executed with our President, Michael Hinshaw to finance operations. The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 3.25% APR non-compounding accrued interest. Interest is to begin accruing on the unpaid balance thirty (30) days from the date of the note. The maturity date of the note is April 1, 2013. The principal and accrued interest payable at maturity will be $25,068. We expect to collect these client receivables in Q1 of 2013.
Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that a significant reliance on unrealized future services revenue which we anticipate will be generated from ongoing operations, as well as with our available cash and cash equivalents and working capital balances, will allow us to generate sufficient cash to satisfy capital requirements and other planned expenditures for the next twelve months. If working capital and cash flows from operations are not sufficient to fund planned expenditures, management may elect to reduce the investment in these planned expenditures, and/or raise additional capital through debt financing and/or through sales of common stock.
Anticipated Uses of Cash
We prioritized our resources in 2012 to strengthen our infrastructure, market and sell our products and services, expand product development activities and maintain capital reserves. This prioritization of resources to allowed us to complete market-ready production development of our initial industry vertical product offerings, engage in and finalize both beta testing and formal soft-launch of our products into the designated verticals.
In 2013, to support our initiative to successfully launch our SaaS product, our primary areas of investment are expected to support sales and marketing activities, and will include sales and marketing staff, advertising services and media, marketing and sales automation software and other related services. A secondary area of investment is anticipated to include client support staff, to support deployment and delivery of the SaaS product offering, and the management of ongoing client relationships.
We currently plan to fund these expenditures with cash flows generated from ongoing operations during this period.
We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Cash Flow
Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
Operating Activities. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we reported negative cash flows from operations of $351,739. This consisted of our net loss of $306,948 adjusted by the increase in accounts receivable of $51,029 which was primarily due to an increase in total revenues in 2012 over 2011. This increase in revenues and corresponding increase in accounts receivable were a direct result of two consulting services engagements initiated in Q4 of 2012. The net loss was also adjusted by a decrease in accounts payable of $19,387. The decrease in accounts payable was partially offset by an increase in credit card expenses due to costs associated with development of our products. Depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense increases of $7,730 and $13,347, respectively also offset our net loss.
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) during the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately 46 days, up from approximately 37 days during the year ended December 31, 2011. This was a direct result of entering into services agreements which had terms of 45 days. Payment terms for clients have historically been less than 30 days.
We reported negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December 31, 2011. Our net cash used in operating activities of $302,831 consisted of a net loss of $413,273, adjusted primarily by a decrease in total accounts receivable of $41,014 and increases in accounts payable of $57,141. The accounts receivable decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues as a direct result of the strategic shift of our business from a primary focus on professional services to a primary focus on development of on-demand software solutions. The increase in accounts payable was due to increased costs associated with development of our products. Depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense increases of $11,179 and $11,056, respectively also offset our net loss.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $188,371 and $2,932, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to capitalization of software costs for the development of the SaaS product offering. While net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 resulted from a net increase in equipment during the year.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $595,000 and $190,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $595,000. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ending December 31, 2011 was primarily due to entering two notes payable totaling $150,000 and from net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $40,000.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2012.
Contractual Obligations
We lease one facility in northern California from Annette Kaufman and Michael Mirsky, co-trustees Annette Kaufman Survivor Trust and Annette Kaufman trustee, Mozart Kaufman Exemption Trust under an operating lease that we expect to expire in 2013. We do not have any debt capital lease obligations. As of December 31, 2012, the following table summarizes our contractual obligation under the foregoing lease agreement and the effect such obligation is expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Touchpoint Metrics, Inc.
San Francisco, California
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. (a California corporation) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TOUCHPOINT METRICS, INC.
DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a for profit corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of California, United States of America on December 14, 2001. The corporation operated as The Innes Group, Inc., dba MCorp Consulting until filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation renaming the company Touchpoint Metrics, Inc., effective October 18, 2011.
The Company maps and improves the touchpoints between organizations and their customers. Their focus assists companies who wish to improve business performance by measuring and transforming the ways they interact with customers.
The Company services a wide variety of industries and customer size.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company are presented on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies followed are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader.
The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of less than three months that are not reported as investments. While the Company may maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits, they have not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Portions of the bank deposit accounts are held in Canadian banks on a Canadian and US Dollar basis. The balances in these accounts at times exceed Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. They have not experienced any losses in these accounts.
Management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Investments
The Company reports marketable investments at published market or fair value with gains and losses reported in the income statements.
For investments without a readily available market, valuation is recorded at historical cost and tested for impairment as of each reporting period.
F-6
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair market hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels based on the reliability of the inputs to determine the fair value:
Level 1, defined as inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for use when little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the Company’s note payable approximates book value as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
We measure property, plant and equipment, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. No impairments on property, plant and equipment were taken during the period.
Property, Improvements, and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost or estimated historical cost through appraisal. Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs over $1,000 that extend the life of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance are expensed.
The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized as other income or expense. Depreciation and amortization is computed on various methods as follows:

Software Development Costs
Costs for the development and delivery of the SaaS technology are capitalized once planning is completed and development begins. Capitalized costs include only direct external costs of materials and services as well as compensation and benefits for employees directly associated with the software project. Such amounts are included in the accompanying balance sheets under the caption “capitalized software development costs.”
F-7
Intangibles
Intangible assets include an online media asset and fully amortized organization costs. The online media asset is periodically reviewed for impairment indicators and tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss, if any, would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value determined by discounted future cash flows.
Other Assets
Other assets are comprised of security deposits and prepaid expenses.
Revenue Recognition
Consultation and research engagements
Revenues are traditionally derived from consultation and research engagements. Consultation and research engagements normally span a period of 45 to 120 days in duration and may be fixed price, or time and materials engagements.
The company enters into engagements with one of two contracted payment arrangements. The contracts call for a deposit to be made at the time of contract signing and payment as project milestones are achieved or no deposit and payment as project milestones are achieved.
For engagements where a deposit is received, the company reports the deposit amount as unearned revenue on the balance sheet. Revenue is recognized and reported as project milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts. The revenue for production and product sales are recognized as incurred.
Time and material engagements are not common for the company, but when such an engagement is entered into, contractual terms are arranged that provide for the company to submit periodic invoices to the customer as per the contract terms for the time and materials used during the period for the customer’s benefit. The contracts will generally specify the rate for specific types of functions to be performed.
Products
The company has added SaaS (Software as a Service) technology to its offerings. SaaS is a subscription based offering that includes nonrefundable setup fees, subscription fees, professional services, and consulting fees related to implementation, customization, configuration, training, and other value added services. The company accounts for multiple-element arrangements by following ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. At the inception of the arrangement, and again as each element is delivered, the company evaluates all deliverables in the offering to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting based on the following criteria: 1) the items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and 2) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially in the control of the company.
The company determines the relative selling price for a deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available; and best estimate of selling price (“BESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.
VSOE. The company determines VSOE based on historical pricing and discounting practices for the specific solution when sold separately. In determining VSOE, it is required that a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. Due to the introduction of new services, the non-refundable set-up fee and the SaaS subscription have not been not historically priced. As a result, VSOE has been used to allocate the selling price of deliverables in limited circumstances.
F-8
TPE. When VSOE cannot be established for deliverables in multiple element arrangements, the company applies judgment with respect to whether it can establish selling price based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. It has been determined that TPE is not a practical alternative due to differences in service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third-party pricing information.
BESP. When the company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, BESP is used to determine selling price of significant deliverables. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the company would transact a sale if the service were sold on a stand-alone basis. The process for determining BESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE involves management’s judgment. BESP is determined by considering overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of transactions, the customer demographic, and market strategy. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the company to consider additional factors, BESPs could change in future periods.
The guidance of SEC Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins Topic 13(A)(3)(f) is followed in accounting for nonrefundable setup fees. Each of the revenue areas relating to the SaaS offering may or may not be sold as part of a sale to a customer, with the exception of the nonrefundable set-up fee and SaaS technology subscription. Each of the items, except for the set-up fee and SaaS technology subscription, can and often are sold separately and will have value to a customer on a standalone basis. The nonrefundable set-up fee and the SaaS subscription are the only two revenue streams that do not exist without each other. The subscription and services provided are essential to the customer receiving the expected benefit of the set-up fee. Therefore, the set-up fee is earned and recognized as the related services are delivered and performed over the term of the subscription.
The SaaS subscriptions are sold with three payment options. The subscription can be paid annually, quarterly, or monthly and are all payable prior to services being provided. The company determines fair value for the individual elements in these arrangements as the estimated relative selling price charged for each individual element when sold on a standalone basis.
As payments are received for any of the subscription options, the revenue is reported as unearned revenue on the balance sheet and recognized at the end of each monthly period as service is provided. The company measures and allocates the arrangement consideration to the individual elements based on the relative estimated selling price of each item as sold on a standalone basis.
The non-refundable setup fees are recognized over the term of the initial subscription period. The professional services and consulting fees included in the offering follow the same revenue recognition process as the consultation and research services.
Subscription agreements provide service-level commitments of 99.5% uptime per period, excluding scheduled maintenance and any unavailability caused by defined circumstances beyond reasonable control. Failure to meet this availability commitment requires a credit to qualifying customers equal to the value of the time unavailable, up to a maximum of one month of subscription fees. Reserves equal to the maximum potential credits are recorded on the balance sheet and are treated as a reduction in revenue. Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use, and excise taxes.
Reimbursed Expenses
We classify reimbursed expenses in both other revenues and cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of income. Other revenue is earned from reimbursable expense revenues that are incidental to the consultation and research efforts. The project related expenses consist of costs incurred by the Company on behalf of the customer. This will generally consist of travel costs or products and services purchased as a convenience for the customer.
F-9
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.
A full valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its business strategy, we determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to our ability to generate sufficient profits from our business model.
Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (“ASU 2012-03”). This update was issued in order to codify various amendments and corrections included in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, SEC Release 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics: Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. The amendments and corrections included in this update are effective upon issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements, (“ASU 2012-04”). This update includes source literature amendments, guidance clarification, reference corrections and relocated guidance affecting a variety of topics in the Codification. The update also includes conforming amendments to the Codification to reflect ASC 820’s fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update that will not have transition guidance are effective upon issuance. The amendments in this update that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 5: Stock-Based Compensation
The Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. stock-based compensation program is designed to attract and retain high quality employees while aligning employees’ interests with the interests of the shareholders.
The program was established in 2008. Plan Shares cannot exceed 30% of any outstanding issue or 2,500,000 shares, whichever is the lower amount.
The company entered into two option commitments during 2011. The first grant date was on February 7, 2011 with an option for 300,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.35. The options carry a vesting schedule with 20% vesting on February 7, 2012 and an additional 20% vesting every six months thereafter. The optioned shares will fully vest after 36 months on February 7, 2014. The options will remain open for 10 years, expiring on February 7, 2021.
The second grant date is on December 15, 2011 with an option for 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.25. The options carry a vesting schedule with one-third of the total optioned shares becoming vested every 12 months. The optioned shares will fully vest after 36 months on December 15, 2014. The options will remain open for 5 years, expiring on December 15, 2016.
Stock options are valued under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and have a 10-year term.
The Black-Sholes Values for the two options granted are $0.120 and $0.101and are amortized to expense over the vesting period of three years.
The weighted-average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions are as follows:

The expected life is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury T-Bond rate at the grant date. Volatility reflects movements in the stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life.
The option grant #1 shares will incur a compensation expense of $36,000 to be realized over 36 months beginning with the option vesting date of February 7, 2012. Option grant #2 shares will incur a compensation expense of $2,020 over 36 months beginning with the first vesting date of December 15, 2012.
At December 31, 2012, there was $24,403 of total recognized compensation cost related to vested share-based compensation grants.
126,667 stock options were exercisable at December 31, 2012.

During 2012, the Company entered a consulting services agreement with mfifty, which is a related party. The President of the Company is also the owner of mfifty. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the company earned revenues of approximately $51,632 from this related party.
Sales are made without collateral and the credit-related losses have been insignificant or non-existent. Accordingly, there is no provision made to include an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Note 7: Capitalized Software Development Costs
Costs incurred to develop Software as a Service (SaaS) technology consist of external direct costs of materials and services and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who directly devote time to the project. Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage were expensed as incurred. Capitalization began when the preliminary project stage was completed. Costs incurred during the operating stage of the software application relating to upgrades and enhancements are capitalized to the extent that they result in the extended life of the product. All other costs are expensed as incurred.
The capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the three year expected useful life of the software. $188,371 was capitalized as project development costs during the twelve months ended December 30, 2012. Amortization of software development costs will commence at the end of the project development process or when the first sales commitment is obtained.
Note 8: Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include an online media asset, Petro Portfolio, and fully amortized organization costs. Petro Portfolio is an online media asset with a website and registered domain name (petroportfolio.com), newsletter, and a database of approximately 80,000 registered subscribers. The asset was purchased on July 16, 2007 in a stock trade with a related party. The asset had a valuation of $131,151 on the trade date. 262,032 restricted common shares valued at $0.50 per share were issued to complete the purchase.
The website and newsletter remained highly active until mid-2008. Macroeconomic events during this period created an adverse business climate, resulting in management’s decision to cease Petro Portfolio-related operations in late 2008, eliminating associated costs. Petro Portfolio remains an inactive asset at this time, and in management’s opinion, carrying costs are negligible.
The Petro Portfolio assets are periodically reviewed for indicators of impairment. Should an impairment indicator be present, a test for recoverability is conducted including 1) analysis of undiscounted future cash flows, 2) the fair market cost of recreating the assets, and 3) an analysis of costs to return the assets to their relative market position at the time operations ceased, based on management’s opinion. In the event that the recoverability tests result in values less than the asset’s carrying amount, management determines the fair value of the asset and recognizes an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and its fair value.

Note 9: Other Assets
Other assets are comprised of security deposits and prepaid expenses.
Note 10: Accounts Payable
Accounts payable consists of trade accounts payable and credit card debt.
Note 11: Long-Term Debt
The company entered into two long-term, non-convertible debt instruments during 2011.
A $100,000 CDN note was executed with Brad Holland, an 8.09% shareholder on September 16, 2011. The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 4% APR non-compounding accrued interest. The maturity date of the note is September 16, 2014. The principal and accrued interest payable at maturity will be $112,000.
A $50,000 USD note was executed with McLellan Investment Corporation, an unrelated party, on September 7, 2011. The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 4% APR non-compounding accrued interest. The maturity date of the note is September 7, 2014. The principal and accrued interest payable at maturity will be $56,000.

The Company has experienced operating losses since inception. A full valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets based on a “more likely than not” threshold. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward periods provided in the tax law. While the Company’s statutory tax rate is 35%, its effective tax rate is 0% due to the effects of the valuation allowance described above. The Company does not have any material uncertainties with respect to its provisions for income taxes.
Note 13: Net Loss per Share
Basic net income per common share is net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period.
The computations for basic and diluted net income per common share are as follows:

IREMCO, a controlling shareholder, provides the company with office space on a month-to-month basis at no charge under a verbal agreement. The office space was vacant and not in use by IREMCO. This space provides the company with a foreign location and will be eliminated if IREMCO has a need for the space.
These related party transactions do not present any evidence of preferential treatment for either shareholder or the Company.
Note 17: Subsequent Events
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Michael Hinshaw, President, to loan $25,000 to the Company. The loan is secured with a non-convertible Promissory Note with an interest rate set at 3.25%. The rate is what would be expected in an arm’s length transaction.
The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and non-compounding accrued interest. Interest is to begin accruing on the unpaid balance thirty (30) days from the date of the note. The maturity date of the note is April 1, 2013. The principal and accrued interest payable at maturity will be $25,068.

F-14
There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012 and through the date of this report. Our financial statements for the periods from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012, included in this report have been audited by Hillary CPA Group, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, 9465 Counselors Row, Suite 200, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240, telephone (317) 222-1416, as set forth in its report included in this annual report.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently
reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Conflicts of Interest
There are no conflicts of interest with respect to our officers, directors and key employees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are only beginning our commercial operations, at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Audit Committee and Charter
We have a separately-designated audit committee of the board. Audit committee functions are performed by our board of directors. None of our directors are deemed independent. One of our directors also holds several officer positions. Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee. A copy of the audit committee charter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 with this Form 10-K.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a corporate code of ethics. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 with this Form 10-K.
Disclosure Committee and Charter
We have a disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. A copy of the disclosure committee charter is filed as Exhibit 99.2 with this Form 10-K.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of information available to us and a review of the information filed with the SEC, all officers, directors and owners of 10% or more of our shares of common stock have filed all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On February 1, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with Lynn Davison, pursuant to which she agreed to serve as our Vice President. Ms. Davison’s agreement provides for an annual base salary of $132,000. In addition, Ms. Davison is eligible for bonus compensation as established by us from time to time. On February 7, 2011, we granted Ms. Davison 10-year options, with an exercise price of $0.35 per share, to purchase 300,000 share of our common stock. The options vest as follows: one fifth 12 months after the grant date, and one fifth every six months thereafter until all options are fully vested. The options remain open for ten years, expiring on February 7, 2021.
Michael Hinshaw does not have an employment agreement with the company.

In addition, in 2012, we granted Kris Clark an option to acquire up to 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share with one-third of the shares vesting December 15 of each year commencing 2012.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he or she is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him or her against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of California.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be permitted to directors or officers under California law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
|
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this offering, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares. Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants exercisable within 60 days from the date of this table are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of others.
The information in this table reflects “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. To our knowledge, and unless otherwise indicated, the stockholders listed below have direct ownership of their shares and possess sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.
