NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumption are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Operating results for the six months period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
About 3PEA International, Inc.
3PEA International, Inc. is a payment solutions company which currently focuses on providing prepaid debit program management and processing services. 3PEA provides a card processing platform consisting of proprietary systems and innovative software applications. 3PEA develops prepaid card programs for healthcare reimbursement payments, pharmaceutical assistance, corporate and incentive rewards, and general purpose re-loadable cards, travel cards, and expense reimbursement cards. 3PEA cards are offered to end users through our relationships with bank issuers.
Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted cash – restricted cash is a cash account controlled by the Company which funds are received related to the card programs from our customers. The Company has recorded a corresponding customer card funding liability.
Revenue and expense recognition – We recognize revenue when (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured. We recognize the costs of these revenues at the time revenue is recognized. Any fees paid up front are deferred until such time such services have been considered rendered. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there are no deferred revenues recorded.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)
We generate the following types of revenues:
· | Administration and usage fees, charged to our prepaid card clients when our programs are created, distributed or reloaded. Such revenues are recognized when such services are performed. | |
· | Transaction fees, paid by the applicable networks and passed through by our card issuing banks when our SVCs are used in a purchase or ATM transaction. Such revenues are recognized when such services are performed. | |
· | Maintenance, administration, transaction fees, charged to an SVC and not under any multiple element arrangements. Such revenues are recognized when such services are performed. | |
· | Program maintenance management fees charged to our clients. Such revenues are not under any multiple element arrangements and are recognized when such services are performed. | |
· | Software development and consulting services to our clients. Such revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605. |
The Company records all revenues on gross basis in accordance with ASC 605-45 since it is the primary obligor and establishes the price in the revenue arrangement. The Company is under no obligation for refunding any fees or has any obligations for disputed claim settlements.
Earnings (loss) per share - Basic earnings (loss) per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common stocks during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report are Forward Looking Statements. In the normal course of its business, the Company, in an effort to help keep its shareholders and the public informed about the Company’s operations, may from time-to-time issue certain statements, either in writing or orally, that contains or may contain Forward-Looking Statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such Forward Looking Statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies, past and possible future, of acquisitions and projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by the Company, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, levels of capital expenditures or other aspects of operating results.

Such important factors (“Important Factors”) and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations are disclosed in this report. All prior and subsequent written and oral Forward Looking Statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Important Factors described below that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations as set forth in any Forward Looking Statement made by or on behalf of the Company.
Overview
3PEA International, Inc. is a payment solutions company that focuses on providing prepaid debit program management and processing services. Utilizing its PaySign® Platform, the Company offers customizable prepaid debit card solutions for a variety of consumer and corporate applications. As part of the Company’s customized prepaid card solutions 3Pea provides transaction processing, card creation and fulfillment, cardholder enrollment, value loading, cardholder account management, reporting and in-house customer service. 3Pea strives to provide its clients with significant time-to market, cost, scalability, reliability and security benefits.
The Company divides prepaid cards into two general categories: corporate and consumer reloadable, and non-reloadable cards.
Reloadable Cards: These types of cards are generally incentive, payroll or general purpose reloadable (“GPR”) cards. Payroll cards are issued to an employee by an employer to receive the direct deposit of their payroll. GPR cards can also be issued to a consumer at a retail location or mailed to a consumer after completing an on-line application. GPR cards can be reloaded multiple times with a consumer’s payroll, government benefit, a federal or state tax refund or through cash reload networks located at retail locations. Reloadable cards are generally open loop cards as described below.
Non-Reloadable Cards: These are generally one-time use cards that are only active until the funds initially loaded to the card are spent. These types of cards are gift or incentive cards. These cards may be open loop or closed loop. Normally these types of cards are used for purchase of goods or services at retail locations and cannot be used to receive cash.
11 |
These prepaid cards may be open loop, closed loop or semi-closed loop. Open loop cards can be used to receive cash at ATM locations or purchase goods or services by PIN or signature at retail locations. These cards can be used virtually anywhere that Visa® or MasterCard® is accepted. Closed loop cards can only be used at a specific merchant. Semi-closed loop cards can be used at several merchants such as a shopping mall.
The prepaid card market is one of the fastest growing segments of the payments industry in the U.S. This market has experienced significant growth in recent years due to consumers and merchants embracing improved technology, greater convenience, more product choices and greater flexibility. Prepaid cards have also proven to be an attractive alternative to traditional bank accounts for certain segments of the population, particularly those without, or who could not qualify for, a checking or savings account.
We have developed prepaid card programs for healthcare reimbursement payments, pharmaceutical assistance, corporate and incentive rewards, and are expanding into payroll cards, general purpose re-loadable cards, travel cards, and expense reimbursement cards. Our cards are offered to end users through our relationships with bank issuers.
Our products and services are aimed at capitalizing on the growing demand for stored value and reloadable ATM/prepaid card financial products in a variety of market niches. Our proprietary platform is scalable and customizable, delivering cost benefits and revenue building opportunities to partners. We manage all aspects of the debit card lifecycle, from managing the card design and approval processes with banking partners and card associations, to production, packaging, distribution, and personalization. We also oversee inventory and security controls, renewals, lost and stolen card management and replacement.
Currently, the primary market for our cards is the healthcare reimbursement market, pharmaceutical marketing or drug sampling market, and corporate incentive card market, although we are expanding into other markets for stored value cards, including, pharmacy benefits cards, payment distribution and reimbursement cards and payroll cards. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we completed integration and launch of an incentive reward program targeting plasma donation centers. We anticipate steady growth of these programs over the next twenty-four months, having launched twenty five donation centers to date.
During the second quarter of 2013 we launched our newest payments platform, known as the PaySign® platform. The PaySign® platform was built on modern cross-platform architecture and designed to be highly flexible, scalable and customizable. The platform will allow 3Pea to significantly expand its operational capabilities, allowing 3Pea to enter new markets within the payments processing space. The PaySign® platform was designed to easily incorporate new payment technologies and applications as they evolve, keeping 3Pea at the forefront of payment innovation. The platform provides the flexibility and efficiencies that will allow 3Pea to significantly reduce the time and cost related to card program development and customization, resulting in increasing operating margins. The PaySign® platform is equipped to facilitate EMV (EuroPay, MasterCard, and Visa) smart card payment system (Chip and PIN) payments on a global basis. We expect to continue our practice of investing an appropriate level of resources to maintain, enhance and extend the functionality of our proprietary systems and existing software applications, to develop new and innovative software applications and systems in response to the needs of our customers, and to enhance the capabilities surrounding our infrastructure. In addition, we intend to offer products and services that are compatible with new and emerging delivery channels.
As part of our platform expansion development process, we evaluate current and emerging technology for applicability to our platform. To this end, we engage with various hardware and software vendors in evaluation of various infrastructure components. Where appropriate, we use third-party technology components in the development of our software applications and service offerings. Third-party software may be used for highly specialized business functions, which we may not be able to develop internally within time and budget constraints. Our principal target markets for processing services include prepaid card issuers, retail and private-label issuers, small third-party processors, and small and mid-size financial institutions in the United States and in emerging international markets.

To date, we have focused on developing a highly scalable business model through extensive investment in technology and infrastructure. , including the design and development of a fully integrated IVR system and in house call center. The company plans to devote more extensive resources to sales and marketing activities in the near future. We sell our products directly to customers in the U.S. but may work with a small number of resellers and third parties in international markets to identify, sell and support targeted opportunities.
In order to expand into new markets, we will need to invest additional capital in sales and marketing, technology and support services. We are considering raising capital in a private placement to enable us to diversify into new market verticals. If we do not raise new capital, we believe that we will still be able to expand into new markets using internally generated funds, but our expansion will not be as rapid.
In early 2013 the Company added an additional bank partner to our newest processing platform and rolled out new products with this bank in the first quarter of 2013. The Company is currently in the process of adding an additional bank partner to our processing platform and anticipates roll out of new products with this bank in the third quarter of 2013. We will work with various banks to distribute prepaid cards to consumers throughout the U.S. The Company will work with these banks to develop additional financial services for consumers, and to increase the functionality of both the programs and prepaid card usage.
Results of Operations
Three Months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $1,204,386, a decrease of $1,344,617 compared to the same period in the prior year, when revenues were $2,549,003. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to the timing of implementation and utilization of our pharmaceutical card programs, as discussed further below, which makes up the majority of our revenues. We expect our revenues to continue to trend upward as the economy improves and as we roll out additional debit card programs utilizing our PaySign® processing platform, diversify our product line and increase the number of support services offered to our customers.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $799,559, a decrease of $1,233,705 compared to the same period in the prior year, when cost of revenues were $2,033,264. Cost of revenues constituted approximately 66% and 80% of total revenues in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cost of revenues is comprised of transaction processing fees, data connectivity and data center expenses, network fees, card production costs, customer service and program management expenses, application integration setup and sales expense.
Our revenues and cost of revenues from our pharmaceutical marketing cards fluctuate widely due to a variety of factors beyond our control. The pharmaceutical companies often do not distribute the debit cards via their pharmaceutical sales representatives to various end points for distribution until days, weeks or months after they create a program, often with little advance warning to us. We also experience dramatic usage swings based on collateral marketing efforts by the pharmaceutical companies, such as print, web, radio and television advertising campaigns that run in association with one of our card programs. Constant variations in program start and stop dates, variations in program timelines which range anywhere between six and thirty six months, and variations in program characteristics such as the monetary value of the load, all contribute to provide dramatic variances in the revenue generated from the programs. As a result, our revenues and cost of revenues do no correlate neatly to the number of cards in circulation or even the number of programs that are active at any given time.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $404,827, a decrease of $110,912 compared to the same period in the prior year, when gross profit was $515,739. Our overall gross profit percentage approximated 34% and 20% during the fiscal years 2013 and 2012. The increase in our gross profit percentage can be attributed to a relative increase in higher margin revenue sources.

The increase is primarily due to additional costs incurred related to our card program management and customer call center which was launched during the first quarter of 2013. The increase is consistent with our overall expectations.
In the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded operating income of $94,723, as compared to operating income of $360,468 in the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $265,745.

Sources of Financing
We believe that our available cash on hand at June 30, 2013 of $865,635 and revenues anticipated for the remainder of 2013 will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. We were successful at convincing some of our larger debt holders to convert their loans into a combination of common stock and warrants during 2012, and we plan to request that some of our remaining creditors convert their debt into equity to improve our financial position. We are also seeking to raise additional capital during the next twelve months through an equity offering to high net worth and institutional investors. We plan to use the proceeds to finance our entry into other markets for our debit cards, and to ramp up business development, sales and product expansion. We recently entered into an agreement with a capital market advisor to raise money for us, but we do not have commitments from any investors at this time and do not even know the terms under which we may be able to raise capital. There is no assurance we will be able to obtain additional capital, or obtain the capital on acceptable terms and conditions. Our failure to obtain new capital may delay our entry into new markets, but will not jeopardize our ability to remain in business nor hinder our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that 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.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements. At this time, we are not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.
