1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Snap Interactive, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, eTwine, Inc. and Snap Mobile Limited (collectively, the “Company”). The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. We have not included certain information normally included in annual financial statements pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosure included herein is adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2014.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information contains all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and changes in cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results and the results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2014, or for any other period.
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the reclassification of a letter of credit of $115,104 from cash and cash equivalents to restricted cash.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2014.
3. Restricted Cash
During 2011, the Company established a line of credit with Sentinel Benefits Group, Inc.

Accordingly, the Company has recorded $115,327 including interest as restricted cash on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
On January 11, 2013, the Company obtained a letter of credit from JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JP Morgan”) in the amount of $200,000 in favor of Hewlett Packard Financial Services Company (“HP”).

5. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value framework under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows:
●
|
Level 1: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
●
|
Level 2: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
|
|
●
|
Level 3: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.
|

The Company issued warrants to purchase common stock in January 2011 in conjunction with an equity financing. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the warrants are recognized in earnings on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in each subsequent period.
The Company’s warrant liability is carried at fair value and was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In order to calculate fair value, the Company uses a custom model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert. This model calculates the fair value of the warrant liability at each measurement date using a Monte-Carlo style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant liability would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model.

For the purposes of determining fair value, the Company used “adjusted volatility” in favor of “historical volatility” in its Monte-Carlo style simulation. Historical volatility of the Company was calculated using weekly stock prices over a look back period corresponding to the remaining contractual term of the warrants as of each valuation date. Management considered the lack of marketability of these instruments by incorporating a 10% incremental discount rate through a reduction of the volatility estimate (also known as volatility haircut) to calculate the adjusted volatility as of each valuation date.
ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”), indicates that “in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability.” In accordance with ASU 2011-04, management estimated fair value from the perspective of market participants.
6. Cost-Method Investment
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Darrell Lerner and DCL Ventures, Inc. (“DCL”) in connection with Mr. Lerner’s separation from the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has made multiple investments in DCL by purchasing (i) 50,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 in April 2013, (ii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in July 2013, (iii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in October 2013, (iv) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in January 2014 and (v) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in April 2014. These nonmarketable securities have been recorded in “Investments” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet measured on a cost basis (See Note 15).
As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s cost-method investment in DCL, which was a non-controlled entity, was $125,000. The Company assesses all cost-method investments for impairment quarterly. No impairment loss was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company does not reassess the fair value of cost-method investments if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments (See Note 15).

The Company only holds fixed assets in the United States. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $43,263, as compared to $42,033 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
8. Notes Receivable
At March 31, 2014, the Company had notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $171,799 due from three former employees. The employees issued the notes to the Company since the Company paid taxes for stock-based compensation on these employees’ behalf during 2011 and 2012. The outstanding amounts under the notes are secured by pledged stock certificates and are due at various times during 2021-2023. Interest accrues on these notes at rates from 2.31% and 3.57% per annum.
9. Income Taxes
We had no income tax benefit or provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Since the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014, there was no income tax expense for the period. Increases in deferred tax balances have been offset by a valuation allowance and have no impact on our deferred income tax provision.
In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known for the period and applies that rate to the earnings or losses for the most recent interim period. The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement income and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of a discrete item, such as changes in estimates, changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or changes in tax laws or regulations.

The expected life of the options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise. The expected life of options has been determined using the "simplified" method as prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The volatility of the Company’s common stock is calculated using the Company’s historical volatilities beginning at the grant date and going back for a period of time equal to the expected life of the award.

At March 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $20,000 and $0, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $99,435. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the fair value of such awards as of the period-end date.
Stock-based compensation expense was $47,654 and $91,075 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We estimate potential forfeitures of stock awards and adjust recorded stock-based compensation expense accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized in future periods.

12. Common Stock Warrants
In January 2011, the Company completed an equity financing that raised gross proceeds of $8,500,000 from the issuance of 4,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,125,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable any time on or before January 19, 2016 and have an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Company received $7,915,700 in net proceeds from the equity financing after deducting offering expenses of $584,300. The exercise price of the warrants and number of shares of common stock to be received upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions.
The Company also issued warrants to purchase 255,000 shares of its common stock to the Company’s placement agent and advisors in January 2011 in connection with the equity financing as consideration for their services. These warrants have the same terms, including exercise price, registration rights and expiration, as the warrants issued to the investors in the equity financing.
Warrant Liability
The Company has recorded a warrant liability on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of the warrants. The warrants are valued at the end of each reporting period with changes recorded as mark-to-market adjustment on warrant liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of these warrants was $70,275 and $140,550 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, based on a model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert.
The gain on change in fair value of warrants on these warrants was $70,275 and $1,100,975 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, and was not presented within loss from operations.
Common Stock Issued for Warrants Exercised
In April 2011, we issued 37,500 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of $88,125 after an investor exercised warrants at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

13. Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share. Diluted net loss per common share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and stock equivalents. To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, 16,823,528 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, 11,764,955 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Operating Lease Agreements
On May 23, 2011, the Company executed a non-cancelable operating lease for corporate office space which began on June 1, 2011 and expires on March 30, 2015. Total base rent due during the term of the lease is $973,595. Monthly rent escalates during the term, but is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company can terminate the final five months of the lease with eight months prior notice and the payment of unamortized costs. Rent expense under this lease for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $63,495.
During 2012, the Company entered into multiple two-year lease agreements with HP for equipment and certain other assets. During 2013, we entered into two additional two-year lease agreements with HP for equipment and certain financed items. Rent expense under this lease for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $73,844. On January 11, 2013, the Company obtained a letter of credit from JP Morgan in the amount of $200,000 in favor of HP. This letter of credit expired on January 31, 2014 but was replaced with a new letter of credit in the amount of $270,000 as of March 31, 2014 (See Note 3).
The Company entered into a two-year service agreement with Equinix Operating Co., Inc. (“Equinix”) whereby Equinix will provide certain products and services to the Company from January 2013 to January 2015.

15. Related Party Transactions
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Darrell Lerner and DCL in connection with his separation from the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company purchased (i) 50,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 in April 2013, (ii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in July 2013, (iii) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in October 2013, (iv) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in January 2014 and (v) 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in April 2014.
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Lerner, pursuant to which Mr. Lerner agreed to serve as a consultant to the Company for a three-year period, beginning on February 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lerner agreed to assist and advise the Company on legal, financial and other matters for which he has knowledge that pertains to the Company, as the Company reasonably requests. As compensation for his services, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lerner a monthly fee of $25,000 for the initial two year period of the agreement and a monthly fee of $5,000 for every month thereafter. The monthly payments under the agreement are conditioned upon Mr. Lerner’s compliance with a customary confidentiality covenant covering certain information concerning the Company, a covenant not to compete during the term of the agreement and for a period of one year following the termination of the agreement, a non-solicitation covenant for a period of six months immediately following the later of the termination of the agreement or the end of the term of the agreement and a non-disparagement covenant regarding the Company.
The consulting agreement is for a three-year period; provided, however, that the Company may terminate the agreement at any time without notice and may renew the term of the agreement by providing written notice to Mr. Lerner prior to or at the expiration of the term. If the Company terminates the agreement without “cause” (as defined in the agreement) prior to the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company has agreed to (i) pay Mr. Lerner the amount of the monthly fees owed to Mr. Lerner for the period from the Effective Date to the two year anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) take all commercially reasonably actions to cause (A) 325,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company previously granted to Mr. Lerner, (B) 600,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company previously granted to Mr. Lerner and (iii) 150,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company granted to Mr. Lerner pursuant to the agreement, to be vested as of the date of such termination.
16. Subsequent Events
On April 18, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Business Development Agreement (the “Amended Development Agreement”) with Match.com, L.L.C. (“Match.com”). Pursuant to the Amended Development Agreement, the Company agreed to promote Match.com on its AYI.com social dating website and software application and develop various integrations of Match.com’s dating properties into the core AYI.com experience in exchange for an upfront payment of $300,000. The Company agreed to continuously provide certain integration features during the term of the Amended Development Agreement to the Company’s users on the AYI.com website and AYI’s Facebook application, with certain exceptions. The term of the original Business Development Agreement with Match.com was through May 16, 2014.

Overview
We are an Internet company providing services in the expanding social dating market. We own and operate a social dating software application under our AYI brand (formerly known as AreYouInterested.com) that can be accessed on Facebook, mobile devices such as iPhone and Android, and a stand-alone website. Our application is fully integrated across these gateways and incorporates the Facebook Connect integration tool, which enables users to easily “connect” their Facebook profile to our website. Since August 2007, AYI has been one of the leading dating applications on Facebook based on the publicly reported number of DAUs and MAUs.
As of May 5, 2014, we had more than 2.0 million MAUs of AYI across all of our platforms. We primarily generate revenue from subscription fees and, as of May 5, 2014, we had approximately 94,000 active subscribers. The number of our DAUs and MAUs, which includes non-paying users and paying subscribers, varies greatly on a daily and monthly basis, and is greater than the number of our active subscribers for any same measurement period.
We believe that the number of active subscribers and new subscription transactions are important operating metrics, and we plan to increase these metrics by increasing user acquisition campaigns, building a recognizable brand and increasing user engagement on AYI through the development of a superior feature set.
We believe that our extensive user base, which includes more than 25 million Facebook connected users and more than 2.0 billion pieces of structured interest data, allows us to create a favorable experience for users looking to meet people with mutual friends or similar interests.
Operational Highlights and Objectives
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we executed key components of our objectives for 2014:
·
|
increased our messaging activity, user engagement and user conversion rates;
|
|
·
|
increased the number of six month subscriptions (with greater total revenues recognized during the subscription term) as compared to one month subscriptions (with lower total revenues recognized during the subscription term) through the periodic use of promotional discounts for six month subscriptions;
|
|
·
|
reduced total costs and expenses, including employee headcount, which decreased from 42 employees at December 31, 2013 to 37 employees at March 31, 2014;
|
|
·
|
expanded relationships with new advertising and marketing partners; and
|
|
·
|
increased resources dedicated to advertising revenue, including the integration of the marketing relationship with Match.com L.L.C. (“Match.com”).
|
For the remainder of 2014, our business objectives include:
·
|
diversifying advertising and marketing channels to identify new growth opportunities;
|
|
·
|
increasing revenue generated from subscribers;
|
|
·
|
reducing general and administrative expense and programming, hosting and technology expense in order to generate positive cash flow from operations; and
|
|
·
|
increasing the prominence of our mobile applications on iOS and Android platforms.

Sources of Revenue
We operate AYI so that users can utilize the application and search for matches for free. We generate revenue primarily when users purchase a subscription to obtain unlimited messaging and certain other premium features on our application. We also generate a small portion of our revenue through micro-transactions that allow users to access certain other premium features and advertisements on our application.
Subscription. We provide our users with the opportunity to purchase a subscription that provides for unlimited messaging and other premium features for the length of the subscription term. We believe that users choose to become paid subscribers to better communicate with potential matches and to enhance the online dating experience. We believe that users are more likely to purchase subscriptions when they have mutual friends or similar interests with other users.
Facebook is currently the primary platform for our application. The majority of our revenue is generated from subscriptions originating through the Facebook platform, and a significant amount of our revenue is being generated from subscriptions through mobile platforms.
Users can purchase subscriptions through various payment methods including credit card, electronic check, PayPal, Fortumo, or as an In-App purchase through Apple Inc.’s iPhone App Store. Pursuant to Apple Inc.’s terms of service, Apple Inc. retains 30% of the revenue that is generated from sales on our iPhone application through In-App purchases in the United States.
We recognize revenue from monthly premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are provided during the subscription term.
Micro-transactions. We introduced micro-transactions in August 2012 in conjunction with the launch of the redesigned AYI application to allow users to access certain premium features by paying for such features without purchasing a recurring subscription. While micro-transactions are not currently a significant driver of revenue, we believe that such micro-transactions may increase user engagement with the application and the likelihood that users will become a paid subscriber. Revenue from micro-transactions is recognized over a two-month period.
Advertising. We generate advertising revenue from advertising agreements with third parties. We recognize advertising revenue from these agreements ratably over the term of the agreement.
In December 2013, the Company entered into a Business Development Agreement (the “Business Development Agreement”) with Match.com, which was amended in April 2014, whereby the Company received an upfront payment in exchange for developing various integrations of Match.com’s dating properties into the core AYI.com experience. The initial upfront payment was recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2014 as deferred advertising revenue and began to be recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations ratably upon the commencement of the three-month term on February 14, 2014.
Historically, advertising revenue was a small portion of our revenue and primarily consists of revenue from our display ads. We generally reported our advertising revenue net of amounts due to agencies, brokers and counterparties. We recognize advertising revenue as earned on a click-through, impression, registration or subscription basis. When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicked on through our application (CPA basis), or clicks on an offer to subscribe to premium features on our application, the contract amount is recognized as revenue.
Costs and Expenses
Programming, hosting and technology. Our programming, hosting and technology expense includes salary and stock-based compensation for our engineers and developers, data center, domain name and other hosting expenses and software licensing fees and various other technology related expenses.
Compensation. Our compensation expense includes salary and stock-based compensation for management and employees (other than expense for engineers and developers recorded in programming, hosting and technology expenses above).
Professional fees. Our professional fees include fees paid to our independent accounting firm, legal expenses and various other professional fees and expenses incurred in our business.
Advertising and marketing. Our advertising and marketing expense consists of online advertising, primarily consisting of user acquisition campaigns. We execute these campaigns through affiliate or affiliate networks that advertise or promote our application and earn a fee whenever visitors click through their advertisement to our application or website and create a profile on our application. For our user acquisition campaigns, we pay to market and advertise our application across the Internet, including on Facebook and other third party platforms.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expense includes investor relations, public relations, credit card processing fees, overhead and various other employee related expenses.
15
Non-Operating Expenses
Gain (loss) on change in fair value of warrants. Our outstanding warrants are considered derivative instruments that require liability classification and mark-to-market accounting. Our warrant liability is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the changes in fair value reported in earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have included the mark-to-market adjustment on warranty liability as a non-operating expense as we do not believe that it is indicative of our core operating results.
We use a custom model that, at each measurement date, calculates the fair value of the warrant liability using a Monte-Carlo style simulation that uses the following assumptions at each valuation date: (i) closing stock price, (ii) contractual exercise price, (iii) remaining contractual term, (iv) historical volatility of the stock prices, (v) an adjusted volatility that incorporates a 10% incremental discount rate premium through a reduction of the volatility estimate to reflect the lack of marketability of the warrants and (vi) risk-free interest rates that are commensurate with the term of the warrant.
An increase or decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability will increase or decrease the amount of our earnings, respectively, separate from income or loss from operations. The primary cause of the change in the fair value of the warrant liability is the value of our common stock. If our common stock price goes up, the value of these derivatives will generally increase, and if our common stock price goes down, the value of these derivatives will generally decrease.
Key Metrics
Our management relies on certain performance indicators to manage and evaluate our business. The key performance indicators set forth below help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies. We discuss revenues and net cash used in operating activities under ‟Results of Operations” and ‟Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Deferred revenue and bookings, additional measures of our performance, are also discussed below.

Deferred Subscription Revenue
Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized over the length of the subscription term rather than when the subscription is purchased. Because a significant amount of our subscription revenue comes from subscriptions with a term of three or more months, we apportion that revenue over the duration of the subscription term even though it is collected in full at the time of purchase. The difference between the gross cash receipts collected and the revenue recognized to date from those sales is reported as deferred revenue.
Bookings
Bookings is a financial measure representing the aggregate dollar value of subscription fees and micro-transactions received during the period but is not a financial measure that is calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We calculate bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized during the period. We record subscription revenue from subscription fees and micro-transactions as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue ratably over the length of the subscription term. We use bookings internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and to assess the effectiveness of, and plan future, user acquisition campaigns. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business because we believe, as compared to subscription revenue, it is a better indicator of the subscription activity in a given period. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to bookings in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
While the factors that affect bookings and subscription revenue are generally the same, certain factors may affect subscription revenue more or less than such factors affect bookings in any period. While we believe that bookings is useful in evaluating our business, it should be considered as supplemental in nature and it is not meant to be a substitute for subscription revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.

Limitations of Bookings
Some limitations of bookings as a financial measure include that:
●
|
Bookings does not reflect that we recognize subscription revenue from subscription fees and micro-transactions over the length of the subscription term; and
|
|
●
|
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate bookings differently or choose not to calculate bookings at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
|
Because of these limitations, you should consider bookings along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred subscription revenue, net loss and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Revenues
Revenues decreased to $3,292,353 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $3,469,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in one-month subscriptions (with a higher average monthly subscription price) and an increase in six-month subscriptions (with a lower average monthly subscription price) as a component of the overall mix of subscription transactions and decreased subscription prices for the six-month subscriptions from periodic promotional discounts. The decrease in subscription revenue was partially off-set by a greater quantity of subscription transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.
The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue and total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, the decrease between those periods, the percentage decrease between those periods, and the percentage of total revenue that each represented for those periods:

Programming, Hosting and Technology – The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect a decrease in programming, hosting and technology expense of $442,980 or 32%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in this expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation, consulting expense and hosting expense. Programming, hosting and technology expense as a percentage of total revenues was 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 39.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Compensation – The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect a decrease in compensation expense, which excludes the cost of developers and programmers included in programming, hosting and technology expense above, of $27,667, or 3.5%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily driven by decreased stock-based compensation expense and reduced headcount in management and support areas as compared to the comparable period in 2013. Compensation expense as a percentage of total revenues was 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 23.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Advertising and Marketing – The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect an increase in advertising and marketing expense of $340,530, or 30.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by a increase in the number of user acquisition campaigns. We anticipate that advertising and marketing expense will increase during the remainder of 2014 (as compared to our advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014) as we promote our AYI application. Advertising and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues was 44.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 32.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
General and Administrative – The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect a decrease in general and administrative expense of $282,609, or 24.7%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the comparable period in the prior year, was primarily driven by lower recruiting and public relations expenses.

We have historically financed our operations through cash generated from our equity offering in January 2011, subscription fees received from our application, fees for premium features on our application and revenues derived from advertisements purchased on our application.
19
As of March 31, 2014, we had $432,869 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $927,352 as of December 31, 2013. Historically, our working capital has been generated through operations and equity offerings. If we continue to grow and expand our operations, our need for working capital will increase. Though the Company has reduced the cash consumption from operating activities, we do not anticipate being profitable during 2014. Our growth objectives require a continued investment in marketing and advertising expense during the remainder of 2014 to acquire new users. We intend to finance our business and growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof. To the extent that these are not successful, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents will further decrease during 2014.
A significant portion of our expenses are related to user acquisition costs. Our marketing and advertising expenses are primarily spent on channels where we can estimate the return on investment without long-term commitments. Accordingly, we can adjust our marketing and advertising expenditures quickly based on the expected return on investment, which provides flexibility and enables us to manage our marketing and advertising expense.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $464,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,171,845 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease in net cash used in operating activities of $707,325 was primarily a result of the increase in deferred revenue.
Significant items impacting cash flow in the three months ended March 31, 2014 included significant cash outlays relating to advertising and marketing expense, increases in programming, hosting and technology expense, professional fees and related benefits associated with the growth of our business. These uses of cash were offset in part by collections in subscription revenues received during the period.
Significant items impacting cash flow in the three months ended March 31, 2013 included increased cash outlays relating to advertising and marketing expense, and an increase in salaries and related benefits associated with the growth of our business. These uses of cash were offset in part by increased collections on subscription revenues, credit card collections, and payments received from the growth of advertising revenue during the quarter.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $29,963 and $21,465, respectively. Cash used in investing activities included purchases of property and equipment totaling $3,730 and $20,296 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These purchases consisted primarily of computers and servers during the periods. We continue to invest in technology hardware and software to support our growth. Purchases of property and equipment may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations and software development. In addition, we also acquired 25,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 under our subscription agreement with DCL and Darrell Lerner during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Financing Activities
There was no cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in “Note 14. Commitments” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and refunds on subscription revenue, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2014, which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Based on the evaluation as of March 31, 2014, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s 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.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control our financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, the Company determined that the following items constituted a material weakness:
●
|
The Company did not have an independent audit committee in place, which would provide oversight of the Company’s officers, operations and financial reporting function.
|
|
● | The Company did not have effective internal controls in place over its financial statement close process, which could result in the Company's failure to detect material misstatements in the Company's financial statements. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the best of our knowledge, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, except for the following:
We may be unable to repay our indebtedness or make future investments necessary to implement our business strategy.
We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary capital to repay our indebtedness or make future investments necessary to implement our business strategy, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, on our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations. In recent years, the global capital and credit markets experienced a period of uncertainty and the disruption in the credit markets, created difficult conditions for companies to access capital or other sources of funds. Although access to capital and other sources of funding has improved, we cannot provide any assurance that conditions will not deteriorate or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.
To address constraints on our access to capital, we could, among other things, (i) obtain commitments from banks or other lenders to either refinance indebtedness or increase amounts of indebtedness under existing promissory notes, (ii) access the public capital markets, or (iii) dispose of assets. As with other public companies, our access to debt and equity capital depends, in part, on the trading prices of our common stock, which, in turn, depend upon market conditions that change from time to time, such as the market’s perception of our financial condition, our growth potential and our current and future earnings. Our failure to meet the market’s expectation with regard to future earnings and cash distributions could impact our ability to access capital or increase our borrowing costs. If we cannot access capital at an acceptable cost or at all, we may be required to sell assets.
For more information concerning our risk factors, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
