NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Annual Report"), filed with the Commission on April 16, 2013. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation.
 
The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“Trunity” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Trunity, Inc. (“Trunity, Inc.” or the “Company”), as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012  and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
 
The Company is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Company was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders to develop a cloud-based knowledge-sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, customer experience and the education marketplace. It has developed a collaborative knowledge management, publishing and education delivery platform which provides an end-to-end solution for the rapidly growing e-textbook, e-learning, enterprise training, and education marketplaces. As a result of the platform’s innovative multi-tenant cloud-based architecture, Trunity enables a unique integration of academic content with learning management systems. All content powered by Trunity is seamlessly integrated with learning management, social collaboration, standards and measurement tagging, real-time analytics, and royalty tracking functionality. The content is available to be purchased or shared via the Trunity Knowledge Exchange or within private communities powered by the Trunity platform.

On January 24, 2012, Trunity Holdings, Inc. Trunity, Inc. and Trunity Acquisition Corporation (“TAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trunity Holdings, Inc. , all Delaware corporations, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 24, 2012, TAC merged with and into Trunity, Inc., with Trunity, Inc. remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trunity (the “Merger”). In order to facilitate the reverse merger transaction, immediately prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, Trunity acquired a 90.1% interest in Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI). As part of the transaction, on January 24, 2012, immediately prior to the Merger, BTI reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name from Brain Tree International, Inc. to Trunity Holdings, Inc.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS - Continued

On March 20, 2013 the Company executed a five year licensing agreement with the Ukraine Government’s Open World National Project to use the Trunity eLearning Platform in exchange for a license fee of $400,000. Upon signing, the initial payment of $100,000 was received and the remaining payment of $300,000 was received in April 2013. The impact of this transaction was a $400,000 payment that was reflected in the Company’s third quarter financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2013 as deferred revenue of $332,850 for the portion representing the remaining professional hours and license term on the agreement.

      On June 5, 2013, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with its new institutional investor, Pan-African Investment Company, LLC (“PIC”), whereby PIC will assist with the introduction and marketing of the Trunity eLearning Platform in African nations seeking to improve the quality of education for their citizens.   Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the MOU, PIC has been granted a seven-year exclusive right to introduce Trunity’s products and services to the governments of each of the countries on the African continent with a goal of improving, modernizing and providing these countries with a sustainable education platform.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Accounting -The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

Development Stage Operations - The Company had operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development. The Company emerged from development stage operations during the first quarter of 2013.

Going Concern - The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and had negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company experiences negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company has historically obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issuances. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient revenues to provide positive cash flow or that financing at acceptable terms, if at all, will be available to maintain its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
Website and Platform Development Costs - The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 Intangible-Goodwill and Other. Research and development costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed, while development costs of the website to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are capitalized and amortized over the estimated three year life of the asset. Development costs of computer software to be leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company's products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Therefore, costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological feasibility are usually not significant, and generally most software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
 
Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue model consists of Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and hosting revenue, for sites using the Company’s platform, as well as consulting, and advertising revenue. All SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
Consulting revenues are earned for web site development services and are recognized on a time and materials basis, billed in accordance with contractual milestones negotiated with the customer. Revenues are recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In certain contracts, revenue is earned upon achievement of certain milestones indicated in the client agreements. Services under these contracts are typically provided in less than a year and represent the contractual milestones or output measure, which reflect the earnings pattern.

Digital content book revenues are earned and recognized as transactions are entered on the Trunity eLearning Platform by customers purchasing digital content through the Trunity Knowledge Exchange website.

Advertising revenue is earned from search engine providers based on search activity for sites hosted by the Company.

Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as Deferred Revenue (a liability) until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and carries them at fair value.

For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability and that are designated as fair value hedges, both the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in earnings in the current period. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through current income. The Company currently does not engage in fair value hedges.

Stock-Based Compensation - We recognize compensation costs to employees under ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either (a) a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants - The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - On July 1, 2012, the Company adopted the updated guidance to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, issued by the FASB. The update required companies to present comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements and eliminated the option that permits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. The Company adopted the method of presentation using one consecutive financial statement.
 
 In January 2013, the FASB issued another update to the guidance in ASC Topic 220. This update does not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements, but rather improves the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The new guidance was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2013, and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The update simplifies the guidance for testing impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Examples of intangible assets subject to the guidance include indefinite-lived trademarks, licenses, and distribution rights. The amendment allows a company the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. A company electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the company determines, based on such qualitative assessment, that it is "more likely than not" that the asset is impaired. The changes to Codification Topic 350 were effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2013, the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature equal to the excess of the fair value of one Unit over the conversion rate of 0.32 Canadian Dollars.  The fair value of one Unit was estimated based on the most recent sale of common stock in a private placement immediately preceding the issuance of the July Notes and, for the warrant contained in one Unit, using a Black Scholes valuation model and the following assumptions: volatility – 50.50%, risk free rate - 0.22%, dividend rate – 0.00%.  The Company recorded a discount against the debt for the beneficial conversion feature totaling $84,788, which is being amortized into interest expense through the maturity dates of the July Notes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded amortization of the discount of $10,599 and $31,797, respectively.  As of September 30 2013, the net carrying value of the July Notes totaled $171,812, net of unamortized discount of $35,328.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, interest expense on the July Notes of $5,383 and $16,147, respectively, was recorded.

In connection with the issuance of the July Notes, the Company paid transactions fees to brokers consisting of cash of $85,237, and warrants to purchase 43,497 shares over a two-year period for an exercise price of 0.40 Canadian Dollars.  The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black Scholes valuation model and the following assumptions: volatility – 50.49%, risk free rate –  0.22%, dividend rate – 0.00%.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVES

The Company’s convertible debt issued in November 2012 with a face value of $42,500 provides for conversion of the note into the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the average of the lowest three trading prices during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  Because of the uncertainty regarding the number of common shares that may be issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debt, the embedded conversion option is required to be accounted for separately and presented as a derivative liability on the Company’s balance sheet, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Company’s statement of operations.  The Company determined the fair value of derivative liabilities using Monte Carlo simulations.  The Company used the following assumptions in estimating the fair value of the derivative liabilities on the issuance date through the conversion dates of the debt.

NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - Continued

In 2012, the Company approved the 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and authorized an option pool of 7,500,000 shares. Stock options typically vest over a three year period and have a life of ten years from the date granted.  As of September 30, 2013, there were 5,315,000 shares available for awards under this plan.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 315,000 and 960,000 options, respectively, to acquire shares of common stock to employees, directors or consultants.

The grant-date fair value of options is estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model.  The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2013 was $0.38 and was determined using the following assumptions:  expected price volatility ranging between 51% to 53%, risk-free interest rate ranging from .79% to 1.66%, zero expected dividend yield, and six years expected life of options.  The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2012 was $0.19 and $0.17 and was determined using the following assumptions:  expected price volatility 57% and 51%, risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.04% to 1.61%, zero expected dividend yield, and six years expected life of options. The expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The Company makes assumptions with respect to expected stock price volatility based on the average historical volatility of peers with similar attributes. In addition, the Company determines the risk free rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury with maturities similar to the expected terms of grants, quoted on an investment basis in effect at the time of grant for that business day.
 
As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $426,662 of total unrecognized stock compensation expense, related to unvested stock options under the both Plans.  This expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of the outstanding options of 1.75 years.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Item 1.01. “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Business” in our Current Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2012.

Overview

Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“Trunity” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We have a wholly-owned subsidiary, Trunity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Trunity, Inc. “or the “Company”), also based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property by our three founders. We have developed a cloud-based collaborative knowledge management, publishing and education delivery platform which provides an end-to-end solution for the rapidly growing e-textbook, e-learning, enterprise training, and education marketplaces. As a result of the platform’s innovative multi-tenant cloud-based architecture, it enables a unique integration of academic content with learning management systems. We allow content from multiple sources to be assembled into customized living textbooks and courseware and delivered with real-time updates directly to the student on any internet-enabled computer or smart mobile device. All content powered by us is seamlessly integrated with learning management, social collaboration, standards and measurement tagging, real-time analytics, and royalty tracking functionality. The content is available to be purchased or shared via the Trunity Knowledge Exchange or within private communities powered by our platform. Content modularization capabilities allow products to be mixed and matched and purchased in whole or in part. Our core products, Knowledge, Learn and Connect, are in production and operational, and are currently in use by certain paying customers; however, our revenues are well below the level needed for profitability. We believe that our focused marketing efforts as well as the impact of positive “word of mouth” from satisfied users will enable us to substantially increase revenues; however, there can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability.

We encounter a variety of challenges that may affect our business and should be considered as described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in the section of this quarterly report captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ­ Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe are most likely to occur. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which are recorded in the period in which they become known.
 
Our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, web development assets, derivative instruments, and share-based compensation. Since December 31, 2012, there have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to those critical accounting policies.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
Results of Operations

Prior to the three months ended March 31, 2013, we reported our results as a development stage entity.  Based on the development of our products and our change in focus from development to sales, we emerged from the developmental stage in the first quarter of 2013.Although we have begun to record revenue, our cash revenues continue to be minimal and operations and revenues need to be increased substantially in order to achieve profitability.

Our revenues of $67,899 and $80,619 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $152,400 and $124,323 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are primarily related to licensing agreements for the Trunity eLearning Platform, sales for our digital content books, sales of services, and advertising revenue. The current periods’ revenues were mainly due to recognition of  licensing revenues from the Ukraine agreement that  were deferred and are being recognized based on the terms within the contract. In addition to the Ukraine revenue we had sales of our digital content books that increased offset by a decrease in other licensing, service and advertising revenue in comparison to the prior year periods.  We believe that our revenue will increase in the remainder of  2013 as we are aggressively pursuing new opportunities, have initiated specific marketing efforts and expect increased usage of our platform from “word of mouth” satisfied users; however, there can be no assurance that this expected revenue increase will occur.  In addition, at September 30, 2013, we had recorded approximately $335,100 of deferred revenue that we anticipate will continue to be recognized throughout the duration of all the on-going contracts.

Our total operating expenses of $774,401 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 74% from $445,844 in comparison to the prior period in 2012 and operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $2,219,455 increased 34% from $1,651,872 in the comparable period in 2012. The increase in operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily attributable to increase in salary and related benefit expense due to hiring of nine new employees including our newly appointed CFO, investor and public relations expense, marketing consulting expenses, travel expenses, accounting and consulting fees, rental expense, administrative platform costs, stock compensation expense and interest expense offset by a decrease in legal, sales commission, amortization and depreciation expenses.  We expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase in future periods as our business expands.

 
20

 
 
Amortization and depreciation expense included within operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased 0.6% (from $114,811 to $114,114) in comparison to the prior period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 amortization and depreciation expense decreased 39.3% (from $604,734 to $367,167) in comparison to the prior period in 2012. The substantial decrease in amortization and depreciation expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 occurred because the initial investment amount for the platform was fully amortized by 2012 and various assets were fully expensed in 2012. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in future periods as our business expands.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, increased $46,556 (95.6%) and $251,865 (517.4%) respectively, over the comparable periods in 2012.  These increases were primarily due to interest accrued in the 2013 periods on the debentures issued in the second half of 2012.

      The net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $825,203 and $2,434,753, respectively, compared with a net loss in the prior comparable periods in 2012 of $445,348 and $1,618,549, respectively, representing an increase of 85.3% and 50.4%, respectively.  The net loss increase is principally due to additional operating expenses, interest expense and stock compensation costs recorded in the current period versus the prior period, offset by decreased amortization and depreciation expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for operations. At September 30, 2013, we had working capital of $661,993 as compared to negative working capital of $891,159 at December 31, 2012. Our change from negative working capital to a substantial positive amount is primarily attributable to our generation of additional cash from our second quarter 2013 - private placement.

Our current assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 included cash and accounts receivable, net. Our current liabilities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 included accounts payables, notes payable – related parties, accrued interest, professional fees and vacation expense and amounts owed to shareholders for working capital loans, convertible note payables and deferred revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,559,069 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $1,133,942 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Working capital changes provided cash of $119,143 in the current period as compared to cash utilized of $202,259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the receipt of cash from the Ukraine licensing contract and the equity private placement during the current period. In addition net income was adjusted for non-cash items by increased expenses of $756,543 in the current year as compared to $686,866 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to additional stock compensation expense as a result of more issuances of options to employees, accretion expense for debt discount and issuance costs not incurred in the prior period offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization costs due to many of the related assets being fully amortized or depreciated.

Net cash used in investing activities was $409,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to net cash used of $592,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was a result of the acquisition of our subsidiary that was purchased in the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $3,520,765 as compared to $1,604,703 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due mainly to the proceeds from the private sale of our securities­, notes payable due to related parties, and exercise of stock options offset by repayment of notes payable to related parties and conversion of convertible note payable.

We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures during the next 12 months nor do we have any committed external sources of capital. We believe our working capital is sufficient to fund our operations and permit us to satisfy our obligations as they become due for at least the next six months. We have continued to expand our business and our expenses are increasing despite our focused cost-control efforts. Even if we are successful in substantially increasing our revenues from expected sales, we will still need to raise substantial additional working capital. We do not have any firm commitments to provide the additional capital which is needed and there are no assurances that we will be able to secure capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to significantly increase our revenues and successfully raise additional working capital is key to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not successful in both of these efforts, we may be forced to significantly curtail or cease our operations.

Plan of Operation

We have developed a collaborative knowledge management, publishing and education delivery platform which provides an end-to-end solution for the rapidly growing digital content books, e-learning, enterprise training and education marketplaces. As a result of the platform’s innovative multi-tenant cloud-based architecture, this enables a unique integration of academic content with learning management systems. It allows content from multiple sources to be assembled into customized living textbooks and courseware and delivered with real-time updates directly to the student on any Internet-enabled computer or smart mobile device. All content powered by us is seamlessly integrated with learning management, social collaboration, standards and measurement tagging, real-time analytics and royalty tracking functionality. The content is available to be purchased or shared via the Trunity Knowledge Exchange or within private communities powered by the platform. Content modularization capabilities allow products to be mixed and matched and purchased in whole or in part.

The Trunity Knowledge Exchange delivers quality content from various sources, such as traditional publishers, collaborative crowd-sourced communities, individual authors and teachers, as well as institutional repositories and content partners. Our platform currently hosts a growing community of over 4,300 expert contributors made up of many of the world’s top scientists and educators, who create peer-reviewed educational content. We have customers both domestically and internationally, as we have won a significant national project in Ukraine.. In addition, we host many National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA­­-funded projects, including The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE), Encyclopedia of Earth (EoE) and Climate Adaptation and Mitigation E-Learning (CAMEL), all of which also serve as core content contributors to the Trunity Knowledge Exchange. In addition, we completed a significant project for The National Academy of Sciences to develop and deploy an online collaboration workspace for scientists to exchange and publish scientific findings from the investigation of declassified satellite earth imagery. We believe that our cloud-based platform, which tightly integrates expert validated learning content with learning management, is poised to disrupt the traditional education marketplace.

On March 20, 2013, we entered into a transaction pursuant to which the Trunity eLearning Platform was selected by the Ukraine Government’s Open World National Project to serve as the foundation for the country’s national educational network for public school students in grades five through nine, representing approximately 1,500,000 students.

 
22

 

In connection with the transaction, we entered into a share purchase agreement and a project agreement providing us with a 15% stake in EDUCOM, a Ukrainian limited liability company (the “JV Company”); and the JV Company entered into a license agreement with us providing the JV Company with a five-year renewable license to use our platform in exchange for a license fee of $400,000, of which $100,000 was paid upon signing and the $300,000 balance was paid in April 2013. We expect to generate additional revenue from the Ukrainian joint venture, above and beyond the initial license fee, through the sale of content from the Trunity Knowledge Exchange and from the Ukrainian Knowledge Exchange to be established by us in connection with the venture however, we have yet to generate any such revenue and there can be no assurance that we will ever do so.

On June 5, 2013, we completed a $3.575M strategic funding led by Pan-African Investment Company (PIC), which was founded by Dick Parsons and Ronald Lauder.  Parsons and Lauder formed PIC to identify, invest in and provide solutions that effect growth and development in Africa. In addition to the investment, we entered into an agreement appointing PIC as our exclusive sales agent in Africa. We anticipate a presence in Africa as part of our strategy to bring our platform to the African continent.

Our Virtual Textbook solution has seen strong adoption since its initial launch in the Fall of 2012. The first Virtual Textbook authored on the Trunity eLearning Platform was deployed in the first semester at Boston University and sold to 150+ students in a single class at $50 each, expanding to four universities and seven courses by the second semester. The first textbook has now been adopted at 10 universities, two high schools and 20 courses, with approximately 50+ U.S. higher education institutions considering it for adoption for the 2014/ 2015 school year.  Following in these footsteps, several new textbooks are being authored entirely on our platform and as a result are nearing completion. In addition our first authored textbook geared specifically towards professional trade certifications, is completed and is expected to be deployed in 2014.

In addition to the continued organic author sign-ups, we are preparing to launch a large scale author-teacher recruitment campaign which is specifically geared toward gathering premium content (full textbooks, chapters, courses, modules, videos, PowerPoint and other learning resources) to be sold on the Trunity Knowledge Exchange.

Under development for over a year we have released version 2.0 of the Trunity eLearning Platform. This release constitutes the largest single release to date and provides us with a next-generation technology foundation with powerful new programming and scalability features we believe that will serve us well for years to come. Key components include a next-generation content engine based on highly flexible and scalable NoSQL database technology, as well as a robust new Java-based Application Programming Interface (API). New functionality included in this release includes an easily customizable publishing workflow, extensible standards tagging framework (includes Common Core alignment), automatic reading level tagging, and self-assessment, among other new features.

The latest release has allowed us to augment our platform with meta-tagging capabilities that allows content to be categorized and aligned to various educational standards such as Common Core. This allows authors, curriculum developers and teachers to find and pull together (via Trunity’s Live-Cross Publishing technology) different content modules to create textbooks and courses customized for specific curriculum standards and differentiated student learning needs. In particular, the Common Core framework built around the concept of modularized content – adopted by 46 out of 50 states for their K-12 curriculum – has presented unique challenges that traditional textbook publishers have been ill-equipped to address with their monolithic textbook publishing model. As federal funding is often tied to the adoption of these standards and corresponding learning outcomes, we believe that we are well positioned with both the school districts and traditional publishers that have adopted the Common Core standards.

 
23

 

We are currently engaged in advanced discussions with a number of publishers currently underway in an effort to bring a large numbers of textbooks and other educational content to the platform and make this content available through Trunity’s domestic and international distribution channels. Trunity’s API architecture enables us to import textbooks and other digital content from traditional publishers to our platform. We have engaged and outsourced an engineering team in the Ukraine, which is currently in the process of creating content import scripts with the first batch of imported textbooks underway. As we continue to build the amount of content available on the platform along with the number of teachers and students requiring content to learn, we believe this growth will continue to drive increased revenues in the future.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future.  Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Item 3.                     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

This item is not required for a smaller reporting company.

Item 4(T).                Controls and Procedures.

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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures 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.

 
24

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this by this quarterly report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·
 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
     
·
 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
     
·
 
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 September 30, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of September 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the first, - second and third quarters of fiscal 2013. Based on its evaluation, management, including the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, has concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II   —   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                     Legal Proceedings
 
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject and, to the best of our knowledge, no such actions against us are contemplated or threatened, except:

 In February 2012, Trunity and our former CEO Terry Anderton were served with a complaint filed by an ex-Trunity employee, William Horn, in the Nashua, New Hampshire Superior Court. The plaintiff served as Executive Vice President of Marketing & Business Development from March until August 2011 at an annual salary of $100,000. He asserts whistleblower status and alleges that he was wrongfully terminated because of his allegations that the Company had violated securities, tax and employment laws. The complaint seeks unspecified damages under the New Hampshire Whistleblower Act and common law, including reinstatement, back pay and attorney’s fees and costs.  In May 2012, we responded to the complaint by denying all material allegations and filing a counterclaim against the plaintiff for breach of contract, tortious interference with contractual and business relations, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Discovery has begun; a deposition of Mr. Horn was conducted on March 25, 2013.  No expert has been disclosed by Mr. Horn for liability or damages. 
 
        On June 13, 2013, the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss Terry Anderton, in his individual capacity, from the case. Therefore, Trunity remains the sole defendant in this matter.  We continue to proceed with discovery and may schedule a second deposition of the plaintiff based upon the additional documents and information produced by the plaintiff pursuant to the Court’s Order. As discovery continues, third party depositions are expected to be scheduled.
 
Trial of the case is now scheduled for the weeks of June 16 and June 23, 2014.  Based on the preliminary information available to us, we believe that the complaint is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the case and prosecute the counterclaim. 
 
There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject and, to the best of our knowledge, no such actions against us are contemplated or threatened.
 
Item 1A.                 Risk Factors
 
We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2013.

Item 2.                     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the first quarter of 2013, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $263,000 through the sale of 658,055 shares of common stock to accredited investors in private placement transactions at a price of $.40 per share.  Each investor also received a two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for each $1.00 invested. We incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $7,000 consisting primarily of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.  The net proceeds of this offering were used for working capital.

During the second quarter of 2013, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $3,602,000 through the sale of 9,003,970 shares of common stock to accredited investors in private placement transactions at a price of $.40 per share.  Each investor also received a two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for each $1.00 invested. We incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $279,663 consisting primarily of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.  The net proceeds of this offering were used for working capital.

These issuances were made pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
