800 COMMERCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Organization
Business
800 Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “800 Commerce”) was formed in the State of Florida on February 10, 2010. The Company was founded for the purpose of marketing credit card processing services on behalf of merchant payment processing service providers. The Company commenced revenue producing activities based on the marketing of credit processing services in March 2010. The Company generates revenue from the marketing of credit processing services by way of fees received from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf the Company brokers their processing services. On August 1, 2012, the Company began to receive additional revenue pursuant to a processing service provider’s assignment to the Company of a portion of its fee income under one of its service contracts in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of our common stock.
In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company has shifted its focus on the acquisition of revenue providing businesses within the mobile sector which will fund the re-launch of its online portal efforts. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.
On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Battery On The Go, Inc. (“BOTG”), a Florida based, mobile lifestyle and accessory company. BOTG develops mobile battery technologies under the brand name “Xsorii”. The LOI proposes that upon the successful closing of the acquisition, BOTG will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of 800 Commerce and 800 Commerce's Board of Directors will be expanded from two members to five members. New industry experienced management will be replacing and assuming the role of CEO, President and Executive Chairman of 800 Commerce.
While the specific terms of the acquisition will be announced upon the execution of a definitive agreement, the acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of October, 2014. The proposed acquisition of BOTG would be conditioned on, among other things, negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement and approval of the merger by the shareholders of both companies. The LOI contemplates that approximately 21 million shares of 800 Commerce stock would be issued to the BOTG shareholders upon closing as consideration for the purchase of 100% of BOTG. In addition, the LOI contemplates that the consummation of the acquisition will be conditioned upon other customary closing conditions and the availability of a Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) credit line as well as cash infusion of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) for working capital, pursuant to the terms of a proposed financing agreement.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 11, 2014. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2013 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.
4 |
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its processors. The Company charges certain merchants for processing services at a bundled rate based on a percentage of the dollar amount of each transaction and, in some instances, additional fees are charged for each transaction. The Company charges other merchant customers a flat fee per transaction, and may also charge miscellaneous fees to customers, including fees for returns, monthly minimums, and other miscellaneous services. All the charges and collections thereon flow through processors who then remit the fee due the Company within the month following the actual charges.
Marketable Securities
The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred.
Patents
The Company capitalizes patent pending acquisition costs, legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents. Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years using the straight-line method beginning on the issue date. No amortization expense was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as the Company’s patents are still pending as of September 30, 2014.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which commissions are earned.
5 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of marketable securities. Marketable securities are adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date, based on quoted prices; which are considered level 1 inputs (see Note 5). The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.
The Company’s derivative liability resulting from the issuance of convertible debt is adjusted to fair value based on recent sales of the underlying common stock and the use of an option pricing model, which are consistent with level 3 inputs. See Note 6.
The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for each fair value hierarchy level:
September 30, 2014 | Derivative Liability | Marketable Securities | Total | |||||||||
Level I | $ | — | $ | 54,000 | $ | 54,000 | ||||||
Level II | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||
Level III | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||
December 31, 2013 | ||||||||||||
Level I | $ | — | $ | 72,150 | $ | 72,150 | ||||||
Level II | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||
Level III | $ | 6,373 | $ | — | $ | 6,373 |
The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to related parties and convertible debt approximate fair value to their short term.
6 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2010 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included options to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
7 |
Note 4 – Sales Concentration and Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insured institution insures up to $250,000 on account balances. The amounts that are not insured by FDIC limitations are held in short-term securities. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Sales and Accounts Receivable
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 99% of the Company’s revenues for each period were received from one merchant service provider, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (see Note 9) compared to 96% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $29,353 (99% of accounts receivable) in accounts receivable from the same merchant service provider. The Company relies on a few processors to provide, on a non-exclusive basis, transaction processing and transmittal, transaction authorization and data capture, and access to various reporting tools.
Note 5 – Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities consist solely of 600,000 and 650,000, as of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively, shares of Agritek common stock, issued to the Company in connection with the Company’s formation in 2010. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold 0 and 50,000, respectively, shares of stock and recognized a gain of $0 and $7,054, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s holdings in Agritek’s common stock totaled $54,000 and $72,150 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The following summarizes the carrying value of marketable securities as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Historical cost | $ | 114,000 | $ | 123,500 | ||||
Unrealized gain (loss) included in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) | (60,000 | ) | (51,350 | ) | ||||

The Company owes Agritek $158,175 and $74,895 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, as a result of advances received from Agritek. These advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand and are included in amounts due related parties on the September 30, 2014, balance sheet herein.
Convertible Promissory Note
In May 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement with Mr. Climes, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, for the issuance of a convertible promissory note in the amount of $50,000 (the “Note”). Among other terms the Note was due one year from its issuance date, bears interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or shares at the Conversion Price as defined herewith, and was convertible at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to 65% of the lowest closing bid price within five days of any conversion. Additionally, there are limitations on the holder’s right to convert whereby there cannot be any conversion that would cause the holders beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Note, the Company was required to pay interest at 12% per annum and the holders may at their option declare the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Note provided for adjustments for dividends payable other than in shares of common stock, for reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock for another security or securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, where there is a change in control of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $43,000 of the Note. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid the remainder of the Note due.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Note represented an embedded derivative since the Note was convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Note was not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature was required to be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument was recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Note. Such discount was accreted from the date of issuance to the maturity date of the Note. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The beneficial conversion feature included in the Note resulted in an initial debt discount of $50,000 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $1,282 based on the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $51,282.
At December 31, 2012, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability. For the period from issuance to December 31, 2012, the Company decreased the derivative liability of $51,282 by $11,282 resulting in a derivative liability of $40,000 at December 31, 2012. On the dates of repayment of $43,000 in 2013 of principal, the Company reclassed the fair value of related conversion feature, $25,329, to additional paid in capital. On the dates of repayment of $7,000 of principal, the Company reclassed the fair value of the related conversion feature, $6,373, to additional paid in capital.

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Options
Effective August 1, 2012 the Company adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) whereby the Company has reserved five million shares of common stock to be available for grants pursuant to the 2012 Plan.
Effective August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two Advisory Board Agreements (“ABA”) pursuant to which, the Company granted to each of Dr. James Canton and Mr. Scott Climes a non-qualified stock option to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The options were granted under the 2012 Plan and have a three year term. Mr. Climes is now a member of the board of directors of the Company and Dr. Canton was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time (resigned January 15, 2014). All of the options granted are fully vested.
A summary of the activity of options for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:
Options | Weighted- Average exercise price | Weighted- Average grant date fair value | ||||||||||||
Balance January 1 and September 30, 2014 | 1,600,000 | $ | 0.30 | $ | 0.21 |
As of September 30, 2014, the remaining term of the options is .88 years, and 3,400,000 options are available for future grants under the 2012 Plan. All options are fully vested as of September 30, 2014 and no future expense related to these options is anticipated.
Note 8 – Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $385,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2030. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.
Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is not a party to any litigation and, to its knowledge, no action, suit or proceeding has been threatened against the Company.
Effective June 1, 2013, the Company began leasing office space in Detroit, Michigan. The lease covers approximately 1,722 square feet, is for two years with monthly rent of $1,950 for the first year and $2,010 for the second year. The Company leased the space for corporate offices as well as a call center for marketing the Company’s directory business. In November 2013, the Company was notified that the landlord was delinquent in their obligations to the mortgage holder of the building where the Company is leasing its office space.
In January 2014, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s lease in Detroit, Michigan, the Company decided to relocate its administrative offices to West Palm Beach, Florida. Effective April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a rent sharing agreement for the use of 1,300 square feet with a company controlled by the Company’s CFO. The Company has agreed to pay $750 per month for the space.
Rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $2,250 and $4,500 respectively.

Other Agreements
Our business agreements consist primarily of banking ISO agreements and technology licensing agreements. Banking agreements are typically agreements with merchant banks which provide all direct relationships with the credit card issuing banks, PCI compliant gateways for our merchant processing clients and administrative functions. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the banks and the Company based on interchange rate, agent commissions, or a fixed fee per transaction. Licensing agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables the Company to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application. Licensing agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the technology provider, carriers and the Company.
On August 1, 2012 the Company entered into a series of agreements with Payventures, LLC (“PV”) and Payventures Tech, LLC (“PVTECH”). PV operates a business of promoting merchant services offered by certain banks, including credit and debit card transaction processing and network services (“Merchant Services”) to merchants. Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (“PAA”) between PV and the Company PV assigned fifty percent (50%) of PV’s rights to receive residual payments from certain Assigned Customer(s), in exchange for five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The term of the Assignment Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of one (1) year after which it shall renew for successive one year terms automatically, unless terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then current Term, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. PV may terminate this Agreement at any time on thirty (30) days written notice to the Company provided however, that if such termination is without default or other material cause by the Company, then PV shall continue to pay the referral fees contemplated therein despite such termination, subject to the other provisions thereof that survive termination. In addition, PV may terminate the assignment of the Assigned Customer, and any obligation to pay the share of the Assigned Customer residual to the Company, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company. PV may terminate the assignment of the Assigned Customer and substitute one or more comparable Assigned Customers upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company. PV shall not be required to replace an Assigned Customer if such Assigned Customer terminates its merchant account with PV.
Effective October 1, 2012, PV and the Company entered into the First Amendment to Assignment Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment replaces the assignment to the Company of 50% of PV’s residuals from the initial Assigned Customer to the assignment of 30% of PV’s residual payments received from a newly Assigned Customer, and such account shall henceforth be the Assigned Customer under the Assignment Agreement. Subsequently, on May 1, 2013 and May 1, 2014, the parties entered into amendments to change the assigned customer.
PV and the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement, whereby PV will provide services to the Company, including; coordination of mobile messaging services, customer contact, customer assistance services and merchant acquisition and processing services. PV will be compensated at their standard hourly rate for such services. The term of the Consulting Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of one (1) year, after which it shall renew for successive one year terms automatically, unless terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. Either Party hereto has the right to terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time on thirty (30) days written notice.
Also on August 1, 2012, PV and the Company executed an Agent Referral Agreement, whereby PV will compensate the Company for any customer referred to PV by the Company that subsequently utilizes PV’s Merchant Services. The term of the Agent Referral Agreement is for two years and automatically renews for each year thereafter (the “Term”) unless 60 days prior written notice is given by either party.
PVTECH and the Company entered into a Hosted Platform License & Services Agreement (“HPLSA”) whereby PVTECH will provide the Company access to their hosted ecommerce and processing platform products, as well as related services and support. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay PVTECH a monthly licensing fee of $2,500 and a transaction fee of $0.07 per transaction, that beginning in April 2013, has a minimum transaction fee of $2,500 per month. Accordingly the Company has recorded, as part of cost of sales, $7,500 and $22,500, respectively, for the hosting fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and $7,500 and $22,500 for the minimum transaction fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The term of the HPSLA shall be for one (1) year, with automatic renewals for successive one (1) year terms thereafter (each a "Renewal Term") until either party gives written notice to terminate the HPLSA no less than three (3) calendar months prior to the commencement of a Renewal Term. Either party may terminate the HPLSA: (a) upon a material breach by the other party if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice to the breaching party; or (b) where the other party is subject to a filed bankruptcy petition or formal insolvency proceeding that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days.

On August 7, 2012, the Company entered into a Client Agreement with 3Cinteractive, LLC. (“3Ci”). 3Ci will make available to the Company their “Switchblade Platform”. The Switchblade Platform enables users to send and receive SMS messages directly to and from US Mobile Operator subscribers. The service includes, web-based, API and file based interfaces to facilitate interactions between the Company and the Company’s clients. The platform provides full service SMS services including but not limited to the ability to create and manage interactive workflows, keyboard campaigns, text –to-screen, immediate or schedules broadcasts, post notification services, dynamic group management, external API access, mobile configuration and reporting.

The Company has received a letter of default from 3Ci regarding past amounts due of $18,500. Included in accounts payable as of September 30, 2014 is $21,500 owed to 3Ci.
Note 10 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,614,205 and a working capital deficit of $265,168. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management’s Plans
The Company generates revenue from our marketing of credit processing services by way of fees we receive from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf we broker their processing services. On August 1, 2012, the Company began to receive additional revenue pursuant to a processing service provider’s assignment to us of a portion of its fee income under one of its service contracts in exchange for our issuance of 500,000 shares of our common shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company also sold 50,000 shares of Agritek common stock it owned and has realized proceeds of approximately $16,554 from the sales.
In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company has shifted its focus on the acquisition of revenue providing businesses within the mobile sector which will fund the re-launch of its online portal efforts. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.

The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 10 to the condensed financial statements filed herein.
(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $127,819 compared to $173,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company had a net loss $103,930 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $388,710 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Negative cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was as a result of the net loss and increases in operating assets and liabilities of $17,132 and by the gain on sale of marketable securities. The 2013 net loss was impacted by non-cash expenses of stock and option compensation expense of $168,250. The stock-based compensation expense is comprised of the vesting of options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock, valued at $147,000 and the amortization of $21,250 prepaid stock compensation for consulting services. Included in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was the non-cash amortization of deferred equity consideration for customer acquisition costs of $72,917 as a result of the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the initial one-year term of the Assignment Agreement. Additional non-cash expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were the amortization of the initial discounts of $22,465 on the convertible note. These non-cash add-backs were partially offset by a gain recorded on the sale of marketable securities of $67,841 and the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $8,374.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by investing activities was $15,854 received from the sale of marketable securities less payment of security deposits of $700. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $130,959, as a result of $134,338 received from the sale of marketable securities less the purchase of office furniture of $1,929 and payments related to patent costs of $1,450.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $118,228, compared $27,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The 2014 amount was comprised of a repayment of $7,000 on the convertible note and increases of $125,228 in amounts due shareholders for services provided to the Company and expenses paid for the Company. The 2013 financing activity was comprised of repayments of $43,000 on a convertible note and an increase of $70,621 in amounts due shareholders for services provided to the Company and expenses paid for the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased by $6,263 compared to a decrease of $14,651 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Ending cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 was $10,175 compared to $25,967 at September 30, 2013.
13 |
The Company has limited cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company maintains its’ daily operations and capital needs through revenue from our marketing of credit processing services by way of fees we receive from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf we broker their processing services, as well as from the sale of marketable securities the Company owns. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold 50,000 shares of Agritek common stock it owned and realized proceeds of approximately $16,554 from the sales.
In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company has shifted its focus on the acquisition of revenue providing businesses within the mobile sector which will fund the re-launch of its online portal efforts. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.
We will need to raise funds to continue to be able to support our operating expenses and to meet our other obligations as they become due. Sources available to us that we may utilize include the sale of unsecured convertible debentures from unaffiliated investors which may cause dilution to our stockholders. The company expects to increase sales of additional products over the course of this fiscal year.
(b) Results of Operations

Total operating expenses decreased by $230,488 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to stock compensation expense, included in management fees, of $168,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The stock based compensation in the 2013 period is comprised of the vesting of options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock, valued at $147,000 and the amortization of $21,250 prepaid stock compensation for consulting services. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, also included $25,000 and $41,665, respectively, of accrued compensation for services provided at the time, to Chairman of the board of Directors. Salaries and management fees (excluding stock based compensation) increased as a result of the increase of the amount accrued for the salaries of our CEO from $34,997 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $40,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Transfer agent and filing fees was $4,166 and $10,570 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $3,664 and $8,553 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a control deficiency. During
the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information.
Due to the size and operations of the Company, we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another
company.
