The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared by us without audit, and in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of September 30, 2012, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, and determined there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

The information contained in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Agreement  with Simon Property Group, L.P.

In April 2011, we signed an exclusive rights agreement with a Top Mall Developer (the "Simon Property Group") to create a location-based mobile marketing network called Mobiquity Networks. The 50 mall agreement runs through December of 2015 and includes top malls in the Simon Mall portfolio. This new alliance will give advertisers the opportunity to reach millions of mall visitors per month with mobile digital content and offers when they are most receptive to advertising messages.

In connection with Eye Corp., Mobiquity Networks will deliver digital content and offers to shoppers on their mobile devices through Eye Corp’s extensive Mall Advertising Network. Eye Corp and Mobiquity Networks have an exclusive agreement to build a location-based mobile marketing network throughout Eye Corp’s Mall Advertising network. New properties to be added to the Mobiquity Networks portfolio will include iconic malls in the top DMA’s (designated market area) in the US. These prestigious malls further complement Mobiquity Networks’ portfolio of prominent malls including Queens Center Mall in New York City, Northbridge in Chicago, and Santa Monica Place in Los Angeles.

Ace's Location-Based Mobile advertising medium is designed to reach on-the-go shoppers via their mobile devices with free rich media content delivered using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This advertising medium offers extremely targeted messaging engineered to engage and influence shoppers as they move about the mall environment. Eye Corp, along with Ace Marketing, will jointly create mobile marketing programs for existing clients in conjunction with their already active in mall advertising programs. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing units will be strategically positioned in shopping malls near entrances, anchor stores, escalators and other high-traffic, and high dwell-time areas. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing unit placement takes advantage of the opportunity to provide a reminder to consumers and touch them just before making a purchase decision. These units generate high awareness and brand recognition at the right time and place. When combined with the impact of other visual advertising mediums (in mall assets) or as a stand-alone medium, Mobiquity Networks is a great mobile solution to promote a brand on a local or national level.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise.  The Company applies the revenue recognition principles which provides for revenue to be recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has been completed, (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt, (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 4: LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share gives effect to stock options and warrants, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 15,600,000 and 14,200,000 because they are anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 5: STOCK COMPENSATION

Compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements utilizing the straight line method for the cost of these awards.

The Company's results for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $(23,000) and  $85,000, respectively. The Company's results for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $944,000 and $262,000, respectively.  Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling, general and administrative expenses. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements due to a history of operating losses.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

NOTE 6: STOCK OPTION PLAN

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") for the granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 4,000,000.  In October 2009, the Company established and the stockholders approved a 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan") for granting up to 4,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and awards to directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Company. (The 2005 Plan and the 2005 Plan are collectively referred to as the "Plans".)

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date.

The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, after taking into certain discounts. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously, such assumptions were determined based on historical data.

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $.69 and $0.33, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at September 30, 2012 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $0.45 closing price of the Company's common stock on September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was zero.

NOTE 11: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reportable operating segment is determined based on Ace Marketing & Promotion Inc.’s management approach. The management approach, as defined by accounting standards which have been codified into FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance. Our chief operating decision-maker is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

While our results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in two operating segments: (i) Branding & Branded Merchandise (ii) Mobil Marketing

Corporate management defines and reviews segment profitability based on the same allocation methodology as presented in the segment data tables below:

All intersegment sales and expenses have been eliminated from the table above.

Overview

Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. is a publicly traded company on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol: AMKT. The Company began as a promotional products company and has since evolved into an integrated marketing solutions company. Ace currently focuses on four business verticals; Branding, Interactive, Direct Relationship Marketing and Mobile Marketing.

The Mobile Marketing advertising medium continues to gain momentum in marketing spending. Technology allows advertisers to target and deliver rich media content to specific locations and times where it is most relevant. It gives advertisers the ability to reach consumers with their message as they are ready to make their purchasing decision.

Ace Marketing & Promotions’ subsidiary Mobiquity Networks provides location-based mobile marketing services via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that requires no GPS tracking and no need to download an application. Mobiquity utilizes a targeted, location-based approach to reach audiences on their mobile devices when it matters most. Mobiquity employs a combination of leading-edge mobile technologies to deliver virtually any digital media content including images, videos, audio mp3s, maps, games, applications and coupons to mobile phones within targeted geographic locations.  

The Company has built an extensive location based mobile marketing mall network which currently enables access to over 96 million mobile customer visits per month while they are shopping. Our network allows brands to engage their potential customers with the right offer at the right place at the right time....when they are about to make a purchasing decision. 

Mobiquity currently has over 600 zones throughout 75 malls with over 96 million monthly visits to those malls. These zones create a cloud of coverage so that visitors do not need to go directly to one of these zone access points. Some of our land mark malls include, but are not limited to:

Location-Based Mobile Marketing combined with Out-Of-Home Advertising results in strong opt-in rates due to proximity of the Network. Through its subsidiary Mobiquity Networks, Management believes that Ace is the first Location-Based Mobile Marketing Company focused on US shopping malls and has built and controls the only national proximity marketing mall network. An exclusive contract with leading Out-Of-Home advertising company, Eye Corp. will enable Ace to remain a leader in US malls. According to the agreement, Eye Corp. is exclusive to Ace for five years. Eye Corp. is a subsidiary of Ten Network Holdings, a public company with its headquarters in Australia. Eye Corp. has an exclusive agreement with Simon Malls to manage their non-digital assets in all mall properties and has a full-time sales force that maintains relationships with over 800 brands. The sales team of Eye Corp. will be paid a commission and will be required to fulfill a sales quota on Mobiquity proximity products. Discussions have begun between Eye Corp. and Ace about expanding their exclusive relationship to global malls and airports.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is accounted by reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since our company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Our company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors: (a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, (c) customer credit worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment terms.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation. Share-based compensation expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black Scholes method. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain selected unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues. The following discussion relates to our results of operations for the periods noted and is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or any future fiscal year. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance.

We generated revenues of $770,392 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $650,370 in the same three month period ended September 30, 2011. The increase in revenues of $120,022 in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the increased efforts of the Company’s sales force.

Cost of revenues was $567,628 or 73.7% of revenues in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $484,032 or 74.4% of revenues in the same three months of 2011. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. Cost of revenues  in 2012 include $50,514 costs associated with purchasing air cards for our proximity marketing business and the installations costs  of connecting the air cards to our servers. These costs have $40,000 of revenues associated with the costs for the 2012 third quarter.

Gross profit was $202,764 in the third quarter of 2012 or 26.3% of net revenues compared to $166,338 in the same three months of 2011 or 25.6% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers. Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller orders. If you exclude the proximity costs of $50,514 from our third quarter of 2012 cost of revenues, our gross profit percentage would have been approximately 32.8%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $844,576 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $852,186 in the same three months of 2011. Such costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents, professional, consulting and public awareness fees.  The $7,610 decrease in costs relates primarily to an decrease in commissions of $101,869 and an decrease in stock compensation of $61,318, an increases in rents of $60,764, $69,481 in salaries and $22,169 in depreciation and amortization costs.

Net loss was $(641,812) in the third quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss of $(685,848) for the same three months in 2011, a decrease of $44,036. The third quarter net loss for 2012 includes a $120,022 increase in revenues and a $83,596 increase in cost of revenues and an increase in rents of $60,764, an increase in salaries of $69,481, decrease of $61,318 in stock based compensation.  No benefit for income taxes is provided for in 2012 and 2011 due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.

We generated revenues of $2,014,091 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $2,284,573 in the same nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenues of $270,482 in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the downturn in the overall economy.

Cost of revenues was $1,533,893 or 76.2% of revenues in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $1,761,655 or 77.1% of revenues in the same nine months of 2011. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. Decrease in cost of revenues of $227,762 in 2012 is related to an decrease in sales and a decrease in purchases due to the mix of items our customer base has ordered during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of revenues  in 2012 include $159,949 costs associated with purchasing air cards for our proximity marketing business and the installations costs  of connecting the air cards to our servers. These costs have approximately $64,000 in revenues associated with the costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Gross profit was $480,198 in the first nine months of 2012 or 23.8% of net revenues compared to $522,918 in the same nine months of 2011 or 22.9% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers. Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller orders. If you exclude the proximity costs of $159,949 from our 2012 nine month cost of revenues, our gross profit percentage would have been approximately 31.8%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,331,975 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $2,107,440 in the same nine months of 2011. Such costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents, professional, consulting and public awareness fees. The $1,224,535 increase in costs relates to a $722,531 increase in stock based compensation (non-cash), increase in (mall) rents of $377,282 and salaries increased by $183,967, are proximity related to the development of the Company’s Mobiquity Network segment.

Net loss from operations was $2,851,777 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to a net loss from operations of $1,584,522 for the same nine months in 2011, an increase of $1,267,255. The first nine months net loss for 2012 includes a decrease in revenues of approximately $270,000 and an increase of $722,531 in stock based compensation (non-cash), increase in rents of $377,282 and salaries increased by $183,967. No benefit for income taxes is provided for in 2012 and 2011 due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.

Mobiquity Networks

In February 2012, we announced our plans to have the architecture for our proprietary mobile marketing solutions; “Mall-Offers Wi-Fi” and “malloffers.com” completed by the end of the first quarter of 2012 and that we begin to rollout the solutions on our nationwide Mobiquity Network.

Mobiquity Networks is currently operational in 75 malls across the US and has access to approximately 96 million shopper visits per month.

The Mall-Offers Platform will list specials from retailers in each mall throughout the Mobiquity Network. The specials will be accessible on the secured Wi-Fi network that Mobiquity has already installed in each of its 75 malls across the US. Shoppers with smart phones will simply connect to “Mall-Offers Wi-Fi” and browse by either retailer or category on their mobile device. The solution will not require the shopper to download an app and access to Mall Offers will be completely free for the user. Malloffers.com is a website that aggregates all of the special offers, coupons and discounts offered by all of the participating retailers in all of the malls within the Mobiquity Network. Consumers will have the ability to search for specials by mall, store name or category prior to going to the mall or on their mobile devices. This will help the consumer to choose which mall to visit as well as which store within the mall to purchase their item of interest. The website will also offer consumers the ability to register for special alerts from their favorite stores. The consumer can choose to receive an email or text whenever their favorite store has a special offer.

Our Mall-Offers Platform should help address the mobile marketing industry’s single largest issue, which is delivering relevant offers to consumers at the point of purchase. Management believes that most mall retailers desire to have a mobile marketing strategy but haven’t figured out how to get in front of consumers at the point of sale. The Mall-Offers Platform gives us the ability to offer the hundreds of retailers in each mall within the Mobiquity Network a true mobile marketing solution. In 2012 both companies and their sales agencies now realize the implementation of a mobile strategy is now a necessity. The activation needs to go beyond simple banner and pop-up ads on a mobile website or the development of an app. Consumers are seeking relevant content and valuable offers, not ambush advertising. The new Mall Offers Wi-Fi Network will give retailers and company brands access to consumers and consumers’ access to the offers they want to see.

As a result of the foregoing, Management is excited to have several million dollars of proposals that we have provided to fortune 500 and other companies (and their advertising agencies) and Management believes that with a three to nine month sales cycle that we are operating under with most of these large companies, that a significant ramp up of sales across our network will be realized in the upcoming months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $630,310 at September 30, 2012. Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,624,775. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $3,006,496 partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $73,332 and $48,973 in prepaid expenses and other assets. Net cash of $242,764 was used by investing activities to acquire property and equipment. Net cash was provided by financing activities totaling $1,892,286 resulting from the issuance of common stock, $1,626,761 and net loan proceeds of $265,525.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,094,001 at September 30, 2011. Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,436,115. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $1,585,105 partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $44,045 and $268,173 in prepaid expenses and other assets. Net cash of $497,715 was used by investing activities to acquire property and equipment. Net cash was provided by financing activities totaling $2,264,250 resulting from the issuance of common stock.

Our Company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our Company that have been repaid. Since 1999, we have relied primarily on equity financing from outside investors to supplement our cash flow from operations.

We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, hire additional sales persons, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. The primary sources of funding for such requirements will be cash generated from operations, raising additional capital from the sale of equity or other securities and borrowings under debt facilities which currently do not exist. We believe that we can generate sufficient cash flow from these sources to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In the event we should need additional financing, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.  

Recent Financings

In the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and the period January 1, 2012 through January 31, 2012, the Company completed the following private placement offerings with non-affiliated persons except as otherwise noted:

On December 8, 2009, Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. entered into an Introducing Agent Agreement with Legend Securities, Inc., a FINRA registered broker-dealer ("Legend"), to attempt to raise additional financing through the sale of its Common Stock and Warrants. Between December 8, 2009 and March 15, 2010, the Company closed on gross proceeds of $1,025,000 before commissions of $117,000.

Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In July 2011, the Company commenced a private placement offering. Pursuant to said offering between July14, 2011 and August 1, 2011, the Company raised $975,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 1,950,000 shares of common stock and a like number of warrants, exercisable at $.60 per share through July 31, 2014.  Of the $975,000, $250,000 was invested by Thomas Arnost who later became a director of the Company in December 2011. Mr. Arnost received 500,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares in the offering. Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On January 30, 2012, the Company’s private placement offering was terminated. Rockwell Global Capital LLC acted as Placement Agent. The Company received gross proceeds of $575,000 from the sale of 958,338 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $.60 per share. The private placement offering also included the sale of Warrants to purchase 191,671 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $.60 per share and expiring on January 18, 2016. The Placement Agent received a $25,000 advisory fee, $51,750 in commissions and warrants to purchase 95,833 shares identical to the warrants sold to investors in the offering. Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company is required to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold in the private placement offering and the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class AA Warrants (collectively the “Registrable Shares”).  If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares is not filed with the SEC on or before March 15, 2012 or is not declared effective within 120 days of January 30, 2012 (subject to a 60 day extension in the event the SEC is performing a full review of the Registration Statement), the Company shall pay to each investor as liquidated damages, a payment equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such investor in the offering, cumulative for every 30 day period until such Registration Statement has been filed or declared effective or a portion thereof. Such liquidated damages shall not exceed 15% per annum. The Company, at its sole discretion, shall pay the liquidated damage payment in cash and/or Common Stock of the Company based upon the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading day preceding the date triggering the payment of the liquidated damages. As of September 30, 2012, the Registration Statement has not been filed and the Company has elected to issue an aggregate of 51,736 shares as a liquidation penalty for the period March 16, 2012 through June 30, 2012 and 63,670 shares as liquidation penalty for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

In April 2012, the Company received $270,000 from the exercise of Warrants and issued 900,000 shares of its Common Stock.  Between April 1, 2012 and May 15, 2012, the Company sold 470,000 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share pursuant to an ongoing plan of financing. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series 1 Preferred Stock are as set forth in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On July 10, 2012, the Company sold 1,347,201 shares of its Common Stock to various investors at $.45 per share subject to certain anti-dilution rights for a period of twenty four months. The Company received gross proceeds of $606,240 before offering costs. Each investor received Fixed Price Warrants to purchase 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Offering. The Fixed Price Warrants are exercisable at any time from the date of issuance through July 10, 2017 at an exercise price of $.55. Each investor also received a Warrant to purchase 20% of the number of shares that were purchased in the Offering (the “Milestone Warrants”). The Milestone Warrants will automatically be exercised without any additional consideration to be paid in the event the Company reports audited gross revenues of less than $5,000,000 for the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 unless the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Common Stock exceeds $1.00 per share for a period of at least 30 trading days prior to January 5, 2013. Exemption from registration for the sale of securities is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.
