CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation, and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new initiatives; expectations regarding planned operations; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results, and future economic performance; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.
 
 
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Item 1.  Business

Overview

Youchange, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Arizona on August 22, 2008. We were organized as a software and services venture in the Green Technology (“GreenTech”) sector to develop a leading social movement to focus on the elimination of electronic waste (“eWaste”) in the United States, which includes any used, obsolete end-of-life consumer electronics and computer devices. The GreenTech sector is a recognized business sector also known as Environmental Technology or “Envirotech”. Companies in this sector apply environmental science in an effort to help conserve the environment and choose business approaches that are environmentally and economically sustainable.

On March 30, 2010, Youchange, Inc. and BlueStar Financial Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BSFG”), completed a merger transaction, which is described in further detail below, and resulted in Youchange, Inc. shareholders obtaining control of BSFG, a publicly traded entity. The surviving publicly traded entity following the merger transaction changed its name to “YouChange Holdings Corp” during May 2010.  The terms “youchange”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to YouChange Holdings Corp and its consolidated subsidiary, Youchange, Inc. following the date of the merger transaction, and to Youchange, Inc. prior to the date of the merger transaction. Our fiscal year end is June 30.

We plan to make youchange a leading provider of innovative clean-tech solutions in the Green Technology sector to develop a leading social movement to address the escalating eWaste dilemma. The Company plans to incorporate a “bricks and clicks” model with the collection and re-circulation of used electronic devices and refurbishing and recycling centers strategically staged for the restoration and proper disposal of electronic devices, respectively. The Company’s software and services applications have been, and continues to be, designed for the purpose and intent of implementing partnerships with small local retail locations such as hardware stores, coffee, ice cream and yogurt and grocery stores as well as big box consumer electronic and retail stores desirous of increasing store foot traffic around the pro social campaign of reducing and collecting eWaste. Youchange expects to benefit from these activities through the generation of revenue by the collection and resale of the electronics in addition to intended management fees.

The Company’s software includes a destination website, www.youchange.com, where users can join and refer friends to learn about the problem of electronic waste through content, blogs and forums. Site members are encouraged to take action through the turn-over and sale of their end-of-life, used or obsolete electronics, which reduces the risk of adding to the waste stream. Members access the youchange calculator and offer database through www.youchange.com and by answering a series of questions, may receive a real-time cash and/or reward points offer. Initially, reward points collected by members may be used to exchange for other items in the “Shop Green” area of the youchange.com website, which is an online marketplace where points can be exchanged for product. In addition to the youchange.com website, users can join and learn about local events and electronic collection drives through youchange Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In social media pages. The local electronic collection events play an important part of the youchange strategy and are done in partnership with local sports teams, businesses, individuals, schools and charity groups.

We plan to collect used electronics through:

 
(i)
Offers made to members through our website, which is discussed above.
 
 
(ii)
Using already existing retailers or businesses as drop-off locations for used electronics.  We plan to develop strategic alliances with retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers that may partner with youchange.  By listing retailers as drop-off locations on our website, we will encourage our members to visit these locations and thus, would expect an increase in foot traffic for those locations.  If members drop-off items rather than use our prepaid shipping mechanism, we expect to obtain these items at a lower cost. We are in discussions with Phoenix locations of a national car dealership, a major university, and several local charities and other organizations. We have drop-off agreements with a local computer repair store chain, Red Seven, the Phoenix location of the national Childhelp charity, and one of our recycling partners, E-Waste Harvesters Inc.
 
 
(iii)
Collecting used electronics through Company initiated collection events.  Local electronic collection events play an important part of the youchange strategy and are done in partnership with local sports teams, businesses and charity groups. We have developed a collection event and brand awareness model built around employees of third party companies bringing their excess electronics to work on designated days.  We have piloted these events over the past month in the Phoenix, Arizona area.  A second component of this collection event and brand awareness model is to partner with local sports teams to host pre-game collection and brand awareness events.  A third component of this model, which was launched in April 2011, is a new program we refer to as GREEN Ambassadors and GREEN Leaders, where members of the youchange community host collection events at various business or charity locations.  As with retail and business permanent drop-off locations, if members drop-off their items rather than use our prepaid shipping mechanism, we expect to obtain these items at a lower cost.

The GREEN Leaders program was piloted at two Phoenix private elementary schools and is expected to be expanded to public and private high schools and colleges. We have several school districts piloting the program this fall in Arizona, including schools in Tempe and Phoenix. The GREEN Ambassadors program is expected to be piloted in a retirement community and we are in discussions with a local umbrella charity organization to allow its members to become GREEN Ambassadors.

Youchange is developing an electronic Tracking System (“eTS”) to provide asset receiving, refurbishment and disposal recycling tracking though the complete handling cycle of all electronics collected. In addition, the website and the eTS are expected to allow business to business activity. Businesses can dispose of excess electronics in bulk. The eTS is expected to extend past the website and electronic pricing and rewards calculator previously launched through youchange.com and is intended to be used by local retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers that may partner with youchange. Youchange intends on generating revenue through the refurbishment, resale (“reCommerce”) and recycling of the electronics collected, facilitating the sustainability objectives by extending the lifecycle of these items and keeping such items from the electronic waste stream. Once developed and launched, the youchange eTS is expected to become part of a system that will allow youchange to establish a reCommerce business without an investment in bricks and mortar by partnering with, and charging a management fee to, local retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers.
 
 
The Company has realized minimal revenues from its planned business purpose to the date of this filing and currently has limited operations. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation. The Company has devoted its efforts to business planning and development and has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment in bringing its product to the market and raising capital.

We will require capital for key near-term milestones of our business, which we currently believe to include:

 
·
Acquiring or developing strategic relationships with recyclers and refurbishment centers in Phoenix, Arizona.

 
·
Completing certain key modules of eTS and identifying pilot locations as drop-off locations and recyclers and/or refurbishment centers.

 
·
Expanding collection events that are hosted by local businesses, schools and sports teams.

 
·
Expanding the youchange “GREEN Ambassadors” program, which we expect will allow us to expand our collection events by recruiting “Ambassadors” to host events that benefit their organizations and collect electronics for youchange.

 
·
Researching collection methods and equipment to develop permanent drop-off locations with local retailers.

 
·
Adding a national partner to have all mail-in online transactions sent directly to a partner in locations covering all of the United States.

 
·
Replication of the Phoenix, Arizona youchange model in other cities in the United States once the model is proven in this market.

Backgroud of BSFG

BSFG was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 12, 2002. BSFG had the principal business objective of working toward establishing “small ticket” equipment leases within a small niche of the equipment leasing market. BSFG intended to provide cost effective “small ticket item” leasing to small and middle market companies primarily within the hospitality, spa and resort communities. This business plan was never implemented and no significant business activities related thereto ever occurred. Since becoming incorporated, other than the reverse merger described below, BSFG did not make any significant purchases or sales of assets, nor did it engage in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations.

After careful consideration it became clear there could be great benefit to the economic downturn resulting in the liquidation of non-performing leases and used equipment.  It was further concluded that much of this excess equipment and used electronics from both small to middle market companies and individual consumers was classified as “eWaste” and presented a negative environmental impact.  This problem was growing and very few viable solutions have made it to market leaving a substantial void in this highly visible and much anticipated “GreenTech” sector.  It was decided that to fully take advantage and leverage this new market opportunity BSFG would need to expand the board and management team and begin an immediate search for a company with experience, relationships and leadership, focused in this newly defined sector of “GreenTech.”  As discussed more fully below, BSFG was successful in locating and merging with Youchange, Inc., a company that had the desired attributes. The youchange management team will lead and execute this new direction that will focus on the eWaste challenge by launching the youchange.com website, software and services application that is expected to include paying and providing reward points to businesses and consumers for their used electronics, refurbishing and recycling through established and certified strategic partners and generating revenue from the sales and reCommerce of these products as well as management fees for proprietary data.

Neither BSFG nor Youchange, Inc. have ever declared bankruptcy,  have ever been in receivership, nor been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Additional details about BSFG’s previous business plan are available in its Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 which is available at http://www.sec.gov.

Reverse Merger with BSFG

On March 15, 2010, BSFG and its wholly owned subsidiary BlueStar Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger  (the “Merger Agreement”) with Youchange, Inc., an Arizona corporation.  A copy of the Merger Agreement was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K that was filed on March 22, 2010.

The Merger Agreement and the acquisition agreed to therein (referred to as the “reverse merger” throughout this filing), was closed on March 30, 2010.  At the closing, Youchange, Inc. merged into Merger Sub, with Youchange, Inc. as the surviving entity.  BSFG acquired all 7,183,197 of the issued and outstanding common shares of Youchange, Inc. from Youchange, Inc. shareholders in exchange for 21,549,591 shares of BSFG Common Stock.  Youchange, Inc. shareholders received three shares of BSFG common stock for each share of Youchange, Inc. common stock.  These figures included 2,049,591 shares of BSFG Common Stock issued to the former note holders of Youchange, Inc. whereby the $500,000 principal amount of secured convertible promissory notes plus accrued interest of $13,681 was converted into 683,197 shares of Youchange, Inc. common stock immediately prior to the reverse merger. There are no agreements among the former Youchange, Inc. shareholders regarding their holdings of our Common Stock.  As a result of the reverse merger there are a total of 35,405,588 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the transaction, of which the former Youchange, Inc. shareholders hold 61%.

Under provisions of the Merger Agreement, Paul Voorhees, a director of BSFG prior to the reverse merger, tendered his resignation and no successor has yet been appointed.   The Pre-closing officers and directors of BSFG will be officers and directors of BSFG until their resignation or removal.  The Pre-closing officers and directors of Youchange, Inc. have become the officers and directors of youchange until their resignation or removal. As of the date of this filing, our Board of Directors consists of Jeffrey I. Rassás, who is also our Chief Executive Officer, and Richard A. Papworth, who is also our Chief Financial Officer. At the time the Merger Agreement was executed, Mr. Rassás and Mr. Papworth were directors and officers of both BSFG and Youchange, Inc.

The acquisition of youchange under the Merger Agreement was intended to qualify as a tax deferred reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to be accounted for on a purchase basis.  Jeffrey I. Rassás and Richard A. Papworth were directors and executive officers of BSFG prior to the reverse merger.  Prior to the reverse merger, both men also held executive officer positions with Youchange, Inc. and Mr. Rassás was the sole director of Youchange, Inc. Mr. Rassás, indirectly through the Hayjour Family Limited Partnership, an Arizona limited partnership, and Mr. Papworth directly held shares of Youchange, Inc. common stock and received shares of the surviving company’s Common Stock as a result of the reverse merger.

The summary of the Merger Agreement set forth above does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms of the Merger Agreement.  The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement which was filed as an Exhibit to Form 8-K filed March 22, 2010 and incorporated herein by reference.

Market Opportunity and Business Strategy

All statistics in this section are taken from the Environmental Protection Agency’s website.  In the U.S., an estimated 70% of heavy metals in landfills are derived from discarded electronics. Approximately 3.2 million tons of eWaste are dumped into landfills annually. The average lifespan of computers in developed countries has dropped from six years in 1997 to just two years in 2007. By 2014, there are expected to be two billion new computers in use.  Mobile phones have a lifecycle of 18 months in developed countries.  As of the date of this filing, it is estimated that over 600 million mobile phones are sold worldwide every year. The U.S. National Safety Council estimates that 75% of all personal computers sold since creation of the market are now gathering dust as surplus electronics.

Like virgin material mining and extraction, recycling of materials from electronic scrap is sustaining value. The material composition of personal computers is 26% silica and glass, 23% plastics, 20% ferrous metals, 14% aluminum and 17% heavy metals such as lead, copper, zinc, mercury and cadmium. Up to 38 separate chemical elements are incorporated into electronic waste items that can all be recycled back into new products. In addition to keeping hazardous elements from contaminating soil and water systems, we plan to ensure that proper recycled valuable metals, plastics and glass are returned to the commodity stream for reuse. Even the crude oil in plastics would be recycled, because the plastics already have the appropriate chemical mixture for electronic devices, which reduces the impact on the source.

We are working to build youchange into both an online interactive media site popularized through the strategic integration of the youchange platform into environmental sustainability informational websites both to monetize and aggregate the existing web traffic, as well as a bricks and mortar business with a company owned electronic refurbishment center. We plan to drive consumers to the youchange website through interaction with the Company’s retail partners, online media pro social campaigns, eWaste recycling drives, online videos, search engine optimization and leading environmental services sites. Once landed at the site, www.youchange.com, consumers will undergo a registration process and optional participation in the Company’s social networking pages on facebook and twitter and enter their initial electronic items into the youchange platform calculator. Cash through PayPal, check or gift card and/or reward points are expected to be conveyed for each registered electronic item. Shipping labels with integrated bar codes tracking the specific order are expected to be generated for the customer to facilitate transfer of the items to the refurbishment center. The youchange model incorporates drop off locations at retail chains, business and local collections events with charities and schools to promote convenience and present a mechanism for reward redemption. Through its planned reverse logistics network, electronic devices will be transported via established shipping networks to either a youchange refurbishment center or an electronic waste processing center for end-of-life items. Refurbished items will enter the reCommerce silo and will be subsequently re-circulated into the marketplace through youchange’s direct sales module and member rewards redemption or through another affiliate site such as ebay.

Our growth strategy includes:

 
·
Acquiring, opening and/or strategically partnering with additional refurbishment centers;

 
·
Expanding business-to-business sales and product acquisitions;

 
·
Leveraging existing management relationships to launch national retailer partnerships for membership expansion and collection of electronics;

 
·
Leveraging existing management relationships to launch national media pro-social campaigns targeting eWaste and electronic recycling;

 
·
Launching a geo-targeted electronic waste collection campaign to increase market and media awareness including local collections events done in partnership with charities and schools; and

 
·
Introducing a consumer loyalty rewards program.

With the need to provide accurate pricing for used items, the Company has entered into a partnership with a recognized industry resource for determining used market values for a myriad of items including professional electronics, audio equipment, musical instruments, cameras, guns, car stereos, copiers, power tools and video games.

The Company is currently negotiating with several leading online environmental resource websites focused on recycling and reuse to create primary awareness of the youchange eWaste platform for users searching to recycle electronics.

The Company is also in discussions with electronic recyclers to create its network of certified recycling processing companies.

Competition

The market for refurbishment and recycling of electronics is highly competitive.  There are a few new companies in this area of reCommerce.  We believe the principal competitive factors in the electronics reCommerce business include name recognition, price, product knowledge, reputation, timely delivery, ease in product processing and drop-off and customer service.  Quality and product availability are key to success in this industry.  Competitors include Gazelle.com, BuyMyTronics.com, CeXchange.com, flipswap.com and YouRenew.com.

Intellectual Property

Youchange is currently developing the software for its proprietary Enterprise Management Software as a Service platform.  Youchange is also developing mobile applications for the iphone, android phones, and blackberries. In addition, we are developing a youchange product to allow customers to receive offer prices on other company’s websites. We are planning to pilot this on a local computer manufacturer’s website so that the Company’s customers can sell their electronics when purchasing new computers. We also intend, subject to available funds among other factors, to pursue not only the development of additional intellectual properties but also its proactive acquisition when we identify opportunities to strengthen our proprietary position.

Government Regulation

Our operations are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.  Our business plan to enter the GreenTech and eWaste sectors for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices may require governmental approvals for the recycling process of electronics containing certain eWaste and periodic governmental reviews of our ongoing operations for disposition of obsolete electronic devices through these recycling centers.  The time for such regulatory reviews is not clearly known at this time.  If we are unable to meet the regulatory requirements for establishing these recycling facilities or, on an ongoing basis, meet the regulatory requirements for continued operations, we will not be able to continue offering recycling services and will not generate revenues for the recycled materials.  Even if we receive such regulatory approval, such approval may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which we may market our recycling services, which may limit our ability to generate significant revenues on recycled products and services.  Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws and regulations and enforcement policies, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us. We currently believe that changes in environmental laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the near term.

Employees

As of August 31, 2011, we employed three individuals, two of which were part time. Our employees are not part of a union and we believe that relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Risks Related to our Financial Results
 
We have limited cash resources, an accumulated deficit, are not currently profitable and expect to incur significant expenses in the near future.

As of June 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $100,000.  We have incurred a substantial net loss for the period from our inception on August 22, 2008 to June 30, 2011, and are currently experiencing negative cash flow. We expect to continue to experience negative cash flow and operating losses through calendar year 2011 and possibly thereafter.  As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability.


 
8

 

We may fail to become and remain profitable or we may be unable to fund our continuing losses, in which case our business may fail.

We are focused on product development and have generated minimal revenue to date.  We do not believe we will begin earning more than minimal revenues from operations until fiscal 2012 as we transition from a development stage company and / or complete a proposed acquisition.  We have incurred operating losses since our inception.  Our net loss for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011 was $755,275, $1,000,057 and $1,822,435, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011, we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $1,822,435.

We will be required to raise additional capital to fund our operations.  If we cannot raise needed additional capital in the future, we will be required to cease operations.

Based on our current plans, we believe our existing financial resources, and interest earned thereon, will not be sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital requirements. We will need additional capital within the next 90 days to sustain our operations in the near term and estimate that we will require approximately $1.0 million over the next 12 months in order to finance the development of our business plan and fund operating expenses.  We plan to seek such additional funding through private placement offerings of our securities.

You should be aware that in the future:

 
·
We may not obtain additional financial resources when necessary or on terms favorable to us, if at all; and

 
·
Any available additional financing may not be adequate.

If we cannot raise additional funds when needed, or on acceptable terms, we will not be able to begin development or implementation of our business plan.  We require substantial working capital to fund our operations.  Since we do not expect to generate significant revenues in the foreseeable future, in order to fund operations, we will be completely dependent on additional debt and equity financing arrangements.  There is no assurance that any financing will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements even for the immediate future.  No assurance can be given that any such additional funding will be available or that, if available, can be obtained on terms favorable to us.  If we are unable to raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we will not be able to develop or implement our business plan, take advantage of any future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.  A material shortage of capital will require us to take drastic steps such as reducing our level of operations, disposing of selected assets or seeking an acquisition partner.  If cash is insufficient, we will not be able to continue operations.

Our purposes in completing the reverse merger was to pursue our new business plan, but no assurance can be made that we can successfully implement our new business plan.

In the fall of 2009 we made the decision to reposition the company and focus our business on the GreenTech and eWaste sectors.  Youchange has developed a comprehensive business plan and plan of operations, including paying and providing reward points to businesses and consumers, for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise surplus, end-of-life and obsolete electronic devices through acquired or established refurbishment centers and certified recycling eWaste partners. Revenue is expected  to be generated from the sales and reCommerce of these products as well as management fees for proprietary data.  In addition, electronic products and devices determined to be at the end of their useful life will be responsibly recycled through strategic recycling partners.  Youchange has conducted research and analysis of these sectors and believes that significant opportunities exist to build a successful business in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors.

Although youchange has generated only minimal revenues from its business plan in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors, the Company has developed a business concept that should allow us to more quickly build a business in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors and will be led by a management team with experience and existing relationships in the electronic and environmental sustainability sectors.  Although no assurances can be made that this strategy will be successful, we believe the recent completion of the reverse merger to become a publicly traded company is in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders.

We have insufficient capital to implement our repositioned business plan.

Although we have taken steps to reposition the Company and focus our business on the GreenTech and eWaste sectors with the closing of the recent reverse merger, we currently have no ability to fund the development and implementation of the entire business plan.  We currently have minimal revenue, so we expect to rely on external sources of capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities in private placement offerings to provide funding for our business.  No assurances can be made that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.

We have deferred, and may continue to defer, payment of some of our obligations, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain goods and services in the future.

We estimate that we will require approximately $1.0 million to carry out our business plan and meet our expenses for the next 12 months and $0.5 million to satisfy our immediate obligations over the next 90 days.  Our immediate obligations primarily include only professional fees related to audit and review services by our auditors, payment for services rendered by our officers, legal expense and so forth.  Until such time, if at all, as we receive adequate funding, we intend to defer payment of all other obligations that are capable of being deferred.  Such deferral has resulted in the past, and may result in the future, in some vendors demanding cash payment for their goods and services in advance, and other vendors refusing to continue to do business with us, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain goods and services in the future, or to do so on favorable terms.

We will need to take significant additional actions to secure required facilities and establish processes for our business plan and expect to incur losses during such period.

Because we have just recently commenced implementation of our repositioned business in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors, we have to take additional actions to secure electronic refurbishment centers and recycling facilities as well as build the infrastructure necessary to implement the operational processes for the business.  In addition, to compete effectively, any future products or services must be easy to use, cost-effective and economical to deliver, as the case may be, on a commercial scale.  We may not achieve any of these objectives.

Our operating expenses are unpredictable, which may adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

As a result of our limited operating history, because of the emerging nature of the markets in which we will compete and the lack of implementation of our repositioned business in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors, our financial data is of limited value in planning future operating expenses.  We are currently a development stage enterprise and our historical financial performance is solely based upon basic start-up costs and is not reflective in any way of the financial requirements of our repositioned business in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors.

To the extent our operating expenses precede or are not rapidly followed by increased revenue, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.  Our expense levels will be based in part on our expectations concerning future revenues.  The size and extent of our revenues, if any, are wholly dependent upon the choices and demand of individuals for our products and services, which are difficult to forecast accurately.  We may be unable to adjust our operations in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues.  Further, business development and marketing expenses may increase significantly as we expand our operations.

Youchange has received a “going concern” opinion from its independent registered public accounting firm that expresses uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern due to our development stage nature and lack of revenues. We cannot be certain that our business plans will be successful or what actions may become necessary to preserve our business. Any inability to raise capital could cause our business to fail.

Our limited operating history makes our future operating results unpredictable rendering it difficult to assess the health of our business or its likelihood of success. The inability to assess these factors could result in a total loss of an investor's investment in youchange.

In the case of an established company in an ongoing market, investors may look to past performance and financial condition to get an indication of the health of the company or its likelihood of success. Our short history, development stage nature  and the evolving nature of the markets in which we plan to focus make it difficult to forecast our revenues, if any, and operating results accurately. We expect this unpredictability to continue into the future. Youchange could experience operating losses or even a total loss of our business which, as a result of the foregoing factors, would be difficult to anticipate and could thus cause a total loss of capital invested in youchange.

Risks Related to our Business

If our plan is not successful or management is not effective, the value of our common stock may decline.

As a corporate entity, we have  had nominal operations since inception and have generated minimal revenue to date.  As a result, we are a development stage company with a limited operating history that makes it impossible to reliably predict future growth and operating results. Our business and prospects for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise surplus, obsolete electronic and end-of-life devices must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. In particular, we have not demonstrated that we can:

 
·
build or acquire the infrastructure necessary to implement the operational processes for the business in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices;

 
·
secure electronic refurbishment centers and recycling facilities necessary for our planned business operations;

 
·
obtain the regulatory approvals necessary for recycling electronic products and devices determined to be at the end of their useful life;

 
·
educate consumers about our programs and services in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors and effectively tap consumers’ behavior and appeal to consumers to utilize our services and facilities for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices;

 
·
establish many of the business functions necessary to operate, including sales, marketing, administrative and financial functions, and establish appropriate financial controls; or

 
·
respond effectively to competitive pressures and alternative options for consumers to dispose of or discard otherwise obsolete electronic devices.

We cannot make any assurances that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing these risks and uncertainties.  If we are unable to do so, our business will not be successful.

Our lack of commercial marketing, sales and distribution may prevent us from successfully commercializing our services, which would adversely affect our level of future revenues, if any.

Our business plan to enter the GreenTech and eWaste sectors for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices is untested and unproven. We have extremely limited experience in marketing and sales in the GreenTech and eWaste sectors including services for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices to date.  We may not successfully arrange for the establishment of electronic refurbishment centers and recycling facilities and this could prevent us from commercializing our services or limit our profitability from any such proposed services.


 
11

 

The consumer marketplace may not accept and utilize our services, the effect of which would prevent us from successfully commercializing any proposed services and adversely affect our level of future revenue, if any.

Our ability to market and commercialize our services for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices depends on the acceptance of such services by consumers.  We have a consumer rewards based program planned but will also need to develop commercialization initiatives designed to increase awareness about us and our services to consumers of electronic devices in locations where our refurbishment centers and recycling facilities will be  located.  Currently, we have not developed any such initiatives.  Without success in these areas, we may not be able to successfully commercialize any proposed products or generate more than minimal revenues.

Product liability exposure on refurbished electronic devices may expose us to significant liability or costs which would adversely impact our future operating results and divert funds from the operation of our business.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability and other claims and lawsuits in the event that the recycle and reCommerce of refurbished electronic devices is alleged to have resulted in adverse effects.  We may not be able to avoid significant liability exposure.  We may not have sufficient insurance coverage, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost.  An inability to obtain product liability insurance at acceptable costs or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our services. A product liability claim could hurt our financial performance. Even if we avoid liability exposure, significant costs could be incurred that could hurt our financial performance.

We may fail to adequately protect our proprietary processes, which would allow competitors to take advantage of our concept development efforts, the effect of which could adversely affect any competitive advantage we may have.

We have not sought any patent or other intellectual property protection of our business plan process for the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices.

Our success may depend in part on our ability to obtain such patent protection and other intellectual property protection for our business processes, preserve our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.  Our long-term success largely depends on our ability to market technologically competitive processes and services.  If we fail to obtain or maintain these protections, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary rights.

We also rely upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation to remain competitive. We protect this information with reasonable security measures, including the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate collaborators. It is possible that these individuals will breach these agreements and that any remedies for a breach will be insufficient to allow us to recover our costs.  Furthermore, our trade secrets, know-how and other technology may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors.

Our proprietary technology may not be enforceable and the proprietary technology of others may prevent us from commercializing services, which would adversely affect our level of future revenues, if any.

Although we believe our proprietary technology may have some protection, the failure to obtain meaningful patent protection on our business processes may greatly diminish the value of our potential services and business processes.  No assurances can be made that any patent protection of our business processes is achievable.

We also rely upon non-patented trade secrets and know how, and others may independently develop substantially equivalent trade secrets or know how.  We also rely on protecting our proprietary technology in part through confidentiality agreements with our current and former corporate collaborators, employees, consultants and certain contractors. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breaches.  Litigation may be necessary to defend against claims of infringement, to enforce our patents or to protect trade secrets.  Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management efforts regardless of the results of the litigation.  An adverse result in litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed or require us to cease using certain technologies.


 
12

 

Our planned business plan could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may cause us to engage in costly litigation and, if not successful, could cause us to pay substantial damages and prohibit us from offering our services.  Because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent application is published or the patent is issued, applications may have been filed which relate to services similar to those offered by us. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.

If our potential products violate third-party proprietary rights, we cannot assure you that we would be able to arrange licensing agreements or other satisfactory resolutions on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  Any claims made against us relating to the infringement of third-party propriety rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and injunctions preventing us from providing services.  Such claims could severely harm our financial condition and ability to compete.

In addition, if another party claims the same subject matter or subject matter overlapping with the subject matter that we have claimed in a United States patent application or patent, we may decide or be required to participate in interference proceedings in the USPTO in order to determine the priority of invention.  Loss of such an interference proceeding would deprive us of patent protection sought or previously obtained and could prevent us from commercializing our products.

Participation in such proceedings could result in substantial costs, whether or not the eventual outcome is favorable.  These additional costs could adversely affect our financial results.

Failure to comply with environmental laws or regulations could expose us to significant liability or costs which would adversely impact our operating results and divert funds from the operation of our business which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations related to the collection, refurbishment (to factory condition) and reCommerce of otherwise obsolete electronic devices as well as the recycling of electronic products and devices determined to be at the end of their useful life.  We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and some waste products.  Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials will comply with the standards prescribed by these laws and regulations, the risk of contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated.  In the event of an incident, we could be held liable for any damages that result, and any liability could exceed our resources.  Current or future environmental laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on our operations, business and assets.

We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and the loss of a key executive could severely impact our operations.

The execution of our present business plan depends on the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Rassás, Chief Financial Officer, Richard A. Papworth, our Chief Operating Officer of Youchange, Inc., Mary Juetten and our Chief Technology Officer of Youchange, Inc., Naser Ahmad.  We currently do not maintain key-man insurance policies on the lives of these individuals and have not entered into employment agreements with any of our executive officers.  We believe the loss of any of their service would be detrimental to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders control our business and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of the non-principal shareholders.

Our officers, directors and principal shareholders, and their affiliates, in the aggregate, own a substantial portion of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As a result, such persons, acting together, have the ability to substantially influence all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and to control our management and affairs.  Accordingly, such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to other shareholders.


 
13

 

Our current business plan contemplates future growth levels that may not be obtainable or sustainable with our current resources.

We anticipate that the execution of youchange’s business plan will result in a rapid expansion of our operations, which may place a significant strain on youchange’s management, financial and other resources.  Youchange’s ability to manage the challanges associated with the expansion of our business operations after the reverse merger will depend, among other things, on our ability to monitor operations, control costs, maintain effective quality control, secure necessary marketing arrangements, expand internal management, technical information and accounting systems and attract, assimilate and retain qualified management and other personnel.  If we fail to effectively manage these issues, we may not be profitable in the near future, or ever.

Future acquisitions and strategic relationships, if any may be unsuccessful if we are unable to complete such acquisitions and integrate the acquired business or develop such strategic relationships, which subjects us to risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Part of our strategy to expand our business and execute our business plan involves the possible acquisition of, or development of strategic relationships with, recyclers and refurbishment centers.  If we are unable to successfully complete and integrate future acquisition, if any, we may not realize the expected benefits from such acquisition, including any expected benefits from the proposed integration of the acquired operation into our current business model. If we are unable to develop future strategic relationships, we would not realize any expected benefits from such strategic relationships.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Because we will likely issue additional shares of our common stock, or common stock equivalents, investment in our Company could be subject to substantial dilution.

Investors’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. As of August 31, 2011, we had 38,787,564 common shares outstanding. We are authorized to issue up to 60,000,000 common shares. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors’ investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our common stock could seriously decline in value.

The sale of our stock under convertible notes could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.

In many circumstances, the provision of financing based on the distribution of equity for companies that are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s ability to take up the increased stock or if we have not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used to grow our business. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Regardless of our activities, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our common stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more, which may cause other shareholders of the stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales of common stock in the market. If there are many more shares of our common stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our common shares will likely decline.

Trading in our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic, making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.

Our common stock is currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Our By-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over of our company.

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors. This could result in a disruption to the activities of our company, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company and any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in our stock’s price, which may never happen.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.

Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange or on the Nasdaq system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require brokers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common stock.

We do not currently have policies regarding the acquisition or sale of real estate assets primarily for possible capital gain or primarily for income. We do not presently hold any investments or interests in real estate, investments in real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

As of the date of this filing, we are not a party to any legal proceedings. We may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

Not applicable.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview and Recent Developments

On March 30, 2010, Youchange, Inc. and BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. (“BSFG”), a Nevada corporation and publicly traded shell company at such time, completed a merger transaction (referred to as the “reverse merger” throughout this filing), which is described in further detail below, and resulted in Youchange, Inc. shareholders obtaining control of BSFG. The surviving publicly traded entity following the reverse merger transaction changed its name to “YouChange Holdings Corp” during May 2010.  The terms “youchange”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to YouChange Holdings Corp and its consolidated subsidiary, Youchange, Inc., following the date of the merger transaction, and to Youchange, Inc. prior to the date of the reverse merger transaction. Our fiscal year end is June 30.

For accounting purposes, Youchange, Inc. is the acquirer in the reverse merger transaction, and consequently the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in these consolidated financial statements are those of Youchange, Inc. and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Youchange, Inc.  All shares and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of Youchange.

We were organized as a software and services venture in the Green Technology (“GreenTech”) sector to develop a leading social movement to focus on the elimination of electronic waste (“eWaste”) in the United States, which includes any used, obsolete end-of-life consumer electronics and computer devices.  The GreenTech sector is a recognized business sector also known as Environmental Technology or “Envirotech”.  Companies in this sector apply environmental science in an effort to help conserve the environment and choose business approaches that are environmentally and economically sustainable.

 
17

 

The Company’s software includes a destination website, www.youchange.com, where users can join and refer friends to learn about the problem of electronic waste through content, blogs and forums.  Site members are encouraged to take action through the turn-over and sale of their end-of-life, used or obsolete electronics, which reduces the risk of adding to the waste stream.  Members access the youchange calculator and offer database through www.youchange.com and by answering a series of questions, may receive a real-time cash and/or reward points offer. Initially, reward points collected by members may be used to exchange for other items  in the “Shop Green” area of the youchange.com website, which is an online marketplace where points can be exchanged for product. Members may send their items to us, or drop-off their items at our offices. In addition to the youchange.com website, users can join and learn about local events and electronic collection drives through youchange Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In social media pages.

We plan to collect used electronics through:

 
(i)
Offers made to members through our website, which is discussed above.
 
 
(ii)
Using already existing retailers or businesses as drop-off locations for used electronics.  We plan to develop strategic alliances with retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers that may partner with youchange.  By listing retailers as drop-off locations on our website, we will encourage our members to visit these locations and thus, would expect an increase in foot traffic for those locations.  If members drop-off items rather than use our prepaid shipping mechanism, we expect to obtain these items at a lower cost. We are in discussions with Phoenix locations of a national car dealership, a major university, and several local charities and other organizations. We have drop-off agreements with a local computer repair store chain, Red Seven, the Phoenix location of the national Childhelp charity, and one of our recycling partners, E-Waste Harvesters Inc.
 
 
(iii)
Collecting used electronics through Company initiated collection events.  Local electronic collection events play an important part of the youchange strategy and are done in partnership with local sports teams, businesses and charity groups. We have developed a collection event and brand awareness model built around employees of third party companies bringing their excess electronics to work on designated days.  We have piloted these events over the past month in the Phoenix, Arizona area.  A second component of this collection event and brand awareness model is to partner with local sports teams to host pre-game collection and brand awareness events.  A third component of this model, which was launched in April 2011, is a new program we refer to as GREEN Ambassadors and GREEN Leaders, where members of the youchange community host collection events at various business or charity locations.  As with retail and business permanent drop-off locations, if members drop-off their items rather than use our prepaid shipping mechanism, we expect to obtain these items at a lower cost.

The GREEN Leaders program was piloted at two Phoenix private elementary schools and is expected to be expanded to public and private high schools and colleges. We have several school districts piloting the program this fall in Arizona, including schools in Tempe and Phoenix.  The GREEN Ambassadors program is expected to be piloted in a retirement community and we are in discussions with a local umbrella charity organization to allow its members to become GREEN Ambassadors.

Youchange is developing an electronic Tracking System (“eTS”) to provide asset receiving, refurbishment and disposal recycling tracking though the complete handling cycle of all electronics collected.  In addition, the website and the eTS are expected to allow business to business activity. Businesses can dispose of excess electronics in bulk. The eTS is expected to extend past the website and electronic pricing and rewards calculator previously launched through youchange.com and is intended to be used by local retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers that may partner with youchange.  Youchange intends on generating revenue through the refurbishment, resale (“reCommerce”) and recycling of the electronics collected, facilitating the sustainability objectives by extending the lifecycle of these items and keeping such items from the electronic waste stream.  Once developed and launched, the youchange eTS is expected to become part of a system that will allow youchange to establish a reCommerce business without an investment in bricks and mortar by partnering with, and charging a management fee to, local retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers.

We intend on developing limited in-house  refurbishment, focusing on sanitizing data, and plan to out-source recycling to responsible recyclers with certifications (either R2 or e-stewards industry certifications).  We are currently meeting with  a local recycling and refurbishing company to discuss a supplier relationship.
 
The Company has realized minimal revenue from its planned business purpose to the date of this filing and currently has limited operations.  Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation.  The Company has devoted its efforts to business planning and development and has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment in bringing its product to the market and raising capital.

Background of BSFG

BSFG was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 12, 2002. BSFG had the principal business objective of working toward establishing “small ticket” equipment leases within a small niche of the equipment leasing market. BSFG intended to provide cost effective “small ticket item” leasing to small and middle market companies primarily within the hospitality, spa and resort communities. This business plan was never implemented and no significant business activities related thereto ever occurred. Since becoming incorporated, other than the reverse merger described below, BSFG did not make any significant purchases or sales of assets, nor did it engage in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations.

After careful consideration it became clear there could be great benefit to the economic downturn resulting in the liquidation of non-performing leases and used equipment.  It was further concluded that much of this excess equipment and used electronics from both small to middle market companies and individual consumers was classified as eWaste and presented a negative environmental impact.  This problem was growing and very few viable solutions have made it to market leaving a substantial void in this highly visible and much anticipated GreenTech sector.  It was decided that to fully take advantage and leverage this new market opportunity BSFG would need to expand the board and management team and begin an immediate search for a company with experience, relationships and leadership, focused in this newly defined sector of “GreenTech”.  As discussed more fully below, BSFG was successful in locating and merging with Youchange, Inc., a company that had the desired attributes. The youchange management team will lead and execute this new direction that will focus on the eWaste challenge by launching the youchange.com website, software and services application that is expected to include paying and providing reward points to businesses and consumers for their used electronics, refurbishing and recycling through established and certified strategic partners and generating revenue from the sales and reCommerce (resale online) of these products as well as management fees for proprietary data.

Reverse Merger with BSFG

On March 15, 2010, BSFG and its wholly owned subsidiary BlueStar Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger  (the “Merger Agreement”) with Youchange, Inc. The Merger Agreement and the acquisition agreed to therein was closed on March 30, 2010.  At the closing of the reverse merger, Youchange, Inc. merged into Merger Sub, with Youchange, Inc. as the surviving entity. At the time the Merger Agreement was executed, Jeffrey Rassás and Richard Papworth, currently our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, and directors of the Company, were directors and officers of both BSFG and Youchange, Inc. BSFG acquired all 7,183,197 of the issued and outstanding common shares of Youchange Inc. from Youchange Inc. shareholders in exchange for 21,549,591 shares of BSFG Common Stock.  Youchange, Inc. shareholders received three shares of BSFG Common Stock for each share of Youchange, Inc.  These figures included 2,049,591 shares of BSFG Common Stock issued to the former note holders of Youchange, Inc. whereby the $500,000 principal amount of secured convertible promissory notes plus accrued interest of $13,681 was converted into 683,197 shares of Youchange, Inc. common stock immediately prior to the reverse merger. As a result of the reverse merger there are a total of 35,405,588 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the transaction, of which the former Youchange, Inc. shareholders hold 61%. Additionally, following the completion of the reverse merger, we issued 1,456,000 shares of our common stock to the sellers of BSFG.

Feature Marketing Acquisition

Effective December 31, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Feature Marketing, Inc. (“Feature Marketing”) an Arizona corporation.  The Exchange Agreement provided for the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Feature Marketing in exchange for 3,030,303 shares of our common stock and $200,000 of cash. Feature Marketing owns and operates a computer and consumer electronics refurbishment center based in Scottsdale, Arizona, which we intended to integrate with our planned operations.

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, on February 25, 2011 the Company and Feature Marketing entered into a Rescission Agreement that provided for the rescission of the acquisition as of December 31, 2010, so that from an economic standpoint, the acquisition never occurred and all applicable shares were never exchanged. Accordingly, the financial position and results of Feature Marketing have not been, and are never expected to be, consolidated with those of the Company. The Company believes the rescission of this transaction was in its best interests based on the discovery of a mutual mistake and impossibility to perform under the agreement, which was not contemplated by either party.

The Company executed a non-exclusive fulfillment agreement with Feature Marketing on March 29, 2011.  Under the terms of the fulfillment agreement, Feature Marketing will provide receiving, refurbishment, shipping and storage services and  repay the amounts previously advanced towards the acquisition discussed above.  As of June 30, 2011 advances outstanding totaled approximately $97,000, which are secured by the assets of Feature Marketing and are supported by a promissory note from Feature Marketing.  These advances bear interest at a rate of 24.0% per annum.  We have recognized interest income totaling approximately $28,000 relative to these advances for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  During June 2011, Feature Marketing returned 75,000 common shares it had previously owned, in exchange for a reduction of amounts due us of approximately $26,000, which was the fair value of the shares at the time they were returned.  These shares have been accounted for as treasury stock as of June 30, 2011.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

General

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These areas include carrying amounts of long-lived assets and advances to Feature Marketing, deferred financing costs and deferred taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, our observance of trends in particular areas and information or valuations and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ significantly from amounts previously estimated.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies (refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report), the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:

Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of property and equipment or whether the remaining balance of property and equipment, or other long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. Instances that may lead to an impairment include: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset group; (ii) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition; (iii) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset or asset group, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (iv) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset or asset group; (v) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group; or (vi) a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

Upon recognition of an event, as previously described, we use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, over the remaining life of the property and equipment and long-lived assets in assessing their recoverability. We measure impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset(s) exceeds the fair value of the asset(s). We primarily employ two methodologies for determining the fair value of a long-lived asset: (i) the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties; or (ii) the present value of expected future cash flows grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable independent cash flows.

Beneficial Conversion Features

The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the common shares at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and losses for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets, which include tax loss carry-forwards, and liabilities, which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or increased in a period, we include an expense within the tax provision of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has established a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months.  Any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest.

Professional fees were $432,700 and $286,308 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $763,608 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Professional fees include fees incurred for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer of Youchange, Inc. and Chief Operating Officer of Youchange, Inc. of $327,583 and $181,500 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $532,583 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Also included in professional fees are legal, accounting and auditing fees. The increase in professional fees from fiscal 2010 to 2011 was primarily due to expense recognized for common shares issued for services rendered, which totaled approximately $350,000 for professional fees in fiscal 2011 as compared to $60,000 for fiscal 2010.

Salaries and wages totaled $98,738 for the year ended June 30, 2011 and the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Salaries and wages represent amounts paid or accrued to officers and other employees, which commenced during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as we began to hire staff in the anticipation of executing our business plan.  As of June 30, 2011, we employed one individual other than our executive officers.

Licensing fees were $89,130 the year ended June 30, 2011 and the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Licensing fees relate to the use of a database to support the consumer offer calculator on our website. During July 2010, we entered into a licensing agreement with a strategic partner for access to a database for pricing of used consumer electronic goods.  As described elsewhere herein, we issued 193,322 shares of common stock upon the execution of this agreement and will be required to pay $35,000 over the first year of the agreement and $63,000 over the second year of the agreement.  Additionally, we will be required to issue additional common shares valued at $30,000 after the one year anniversary of this agreement for the second year of the agreement.

General and administrative expense was $60,293 and $25,683 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $110,529 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  These expenses primarily consist of facility rent, travel, computer, network and internet costs. The increase in general and administrative expense from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011 primarily relates to increased rent expense.

Marketing expense was $47,787 and $11,739 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $59,526 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Marketing related costs relate primarily to events, marketing collateral, press releases and other public relations efforts. The increase in marketing expense from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011 relates to a general increase in activity, including press releases and brand awareness, as we work towards exiting the development stage.

As described above, during March 2010, we completed a reverse merger transaction.  We incurred $125,000 of cash based expense for this transaction, of which $37,500 remains to be paid as of the date of this filing, in addition to recording a $495,040 charge for shares issued in connection with this transaction.

We recognized total other expense of $30,401 and $56,287 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $84,638 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Since inception, other expense primarily relates to interest expense of $112,211, which relates to:  (i) $50,000 for the amortization of deferred financing costs; (ii) $13,681 for interest on convertible notes that were converted prior to the reverse merger on March 30, 2010; and (iii) interest on convertible notes that were issued during fiscal 2011 and the amortization of discounts associated with some of these notes.  Other income relates to interest income, which is primarily associated with advances previously made to Feature Marketing.

We anticipate that the execution of our business plan will result in a rapid expansion of our operations, which may place a significant strain on our management, financial and other resources.  Youchange’s ability to manage the challenges associated with the expansion of our business, develop strategic relationships and integrate future acquisitions, if any, will depend, among other things, on our ability to monitor operations, control costs, maintain effective quality control, secure necessary marketing arrangements, expand internal management, implement technical information and accounting systems and attract, assimilate and retain qualified management and other personnel. If we fail to effectively manage these issues, we may not be profitable in the near future, or ever.

The difficulties in managing these various business issues will be compounded by a number of unique attributes of our anticipated business operations and business strategy.  Should these and other concepts not perform as expected, youchange’s financial condition and the results of our operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had $66,264 of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $100,000.  Over the next twelve months we estimate in order to maintain reporting company status as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we will require cash for expenses, which include accounting, legal and other professional fees, as well as filing fees.  We must raise cash to cover these expenses and implement our business plan.  In addition to the amounts raised through the financing transactions discussed below, we estimate that we will need to raise $0.5 million to continue our proposed business and maintain our status as a reporting company for the next 90 to 120 days.

The Company’s ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to be raised.  If we do not raise at least $1.0 million, we will be unable to establish a base of operations, without which we will be unable to execute our current business plan.  The Company will need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock, notes payable or a combination of both, in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern. During fiscal 2011, we raised a total of $508,000, which is described in further detail below. We cannot assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely that operations would continue and any investment made by an investor would be lost in its entirety.

Although we have taken steps to focus our business on the GreenTech and eWaste sectors, we currently have no ability to fund the development and implementation of our business plan.  As is typical of companies going through the development stage, we currently have minimal revenue.   This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We expect to rely on external sources of capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities in private placement offerings to provide funding of our business.  We expect to initiate such actions to obtain additional capital to fund our business, however, no assurances can be made that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.

If youchange acquires its needed funding through the issuance of our equity securities, our existing shareholders may experience dilution and the value of their equity securities may decline.  The acquisition of funding through the issuance of debt could result in a substantial portion of our future cash flow from operations being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on that indebtedness, and could render us more vulnerable to competitive pressures and economic downturns.

We will require capital for key near-term milestones of our business, which we currently believe to include:

 
·
Acquiring or developing strategic relationships with recyclers and refurbishment centers in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
 
·
Completing certain key modules of eTS and identifying pilot locations as drop-off locations and recyclers and/or refurbishment centers.

 
·
Expanding collection events that are hosted by local businesses, schools and sports teams.

 
·
Expanding the youchange “GREEN Ambassadors” program, which we expect will allow us to expand our collection events by recruiting “Ambassadors” to host events that benefit their organizations and collect electronics for youchange.

 
·
Researching collection methods and equipment to develop permanent drop-off locations with local retailers.

 
·
Adding a national partner to have all mail-in online transactions sent directly to a partner in locations covering all of the United States.

 
·
Replication of the Phoenix, Arizona youchange model in other cities in the United States once the model is proven in this market.

Until such time, if at all, as we receive adequate funding, we intend to defer payment of all other obligations that are capable of being deferred.  Such deferment has resulted in the past, and may result in the future, in some vendors demanding cash payment for their goods and services in advance, and other vendors refusing to continue to do business with us, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain goods and services in the future, or to do so on favorable terms.

Cash Flows

The following discussion relates to the major components of our cash flows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $357,395 and $228,126 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $652,624 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Cash used in operating activities primarily relates to payments for professional fees and general and administrative costs.  We expect our operating activities will require additional cash in the future as we commence our planned operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $128,650 and $202,765 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $331,415 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2011 primarily relates to cash used for the development of our proprietary business platform and cash used for advances to Feature Marketing, which is described more fully above. Cash used in investing activities for the period from August 22, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011 also includes cash used for our reverse merger transaction in March 2010, which is discussed more fully above.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $508,000 and $453,311 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1,050,303 for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  Cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2011 relates to various convertible note agreements entered into and the private placement of our common shares, which are described further above.  Cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2010 relates to proceeds from various convertible notes, which were converted to shares of our common stock at the time of the reverse merger on March 30, 2010.   Cash provided by financing activities for the period from August 22, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011 primarily relates to the activities described above.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”).  ASU 2011-05 provides for the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of which format is chosen, the amendments establish a requirement for entities to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and for nonpublic entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012 and interim and annual periods thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASC 2011-04”).  The amendments in ASC 2011-04 were issued in order to align the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  However, many of the amendments in ASC 2011-04 will not result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective, on a prospective basis, for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and for nonpublic entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

During December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2010-28”). ASU 2010-28 addresses questions about entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts because some entities concluded that Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is passed in those circumstances because the fair value of their reporting unit will generally be greater than zero. The amendments in this update do not provide guidance on how to determine the carrying amount or measure the fair value of the reporting unit. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-17, Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method ("ASU 2010-17"). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The following criteria must be met for a milestone to be considered substantive. The consideration earned by achieving the milestone should be: (i) commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the item delivered as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the vendor's performance to achieve the milestone; (ii) related solely to past performance and (iii) reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No split of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement. Accordingly, an arrangement may contain both substantive and non-substantive milestones. ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely on a review of reports of ownership, reports of changes of ownership and written representations under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act that were furnished to us during fiscal 2011 for persons who were, at any time during fiscal 2011, our directors or executive officers or beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, all filing requirements for reporting persons were met, with the exception of a Form 4 filing by Richard Papworth, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for the ownership of 28,506 common shares.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may, upon request made to us in writing at the following address, be made available without charge: 2708 North 68th Street Suite 4, Scottsdale, Arizona 85257.

Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee

As of the date of this filing, we do not have a formal Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating Committee.  We completed a reverse merger transaction on March 30, 2010, which is described in more detail elsewhere in this filing.  We have two directors, Jeffrey Rassás and Richard Papworth, who also serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, and make all decisions that an audit committee would ordinarily make.  We have no independent members of our Board of Directors and accordingly, we have determined that the Company does not have a member of its Board of Directors (or Audit Committee) that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, or who is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we believe that at this time, retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated more than minimal revenues to date.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
YouChange Holdings Corp
(A Development Stage Company)
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YouChange Holdings Corp (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of YouChange Holdings Corp (a development stage company) at June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is currently in the development stage and has not earned significant revenue as of June 30, 2011.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YOUCHANGE HOLDINGS CORP
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization of Business and Basis of Presentation

On March 30, 2010, Youchange, Inc. and BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. (“BSFG”), a Nevada corporation and publicly traded shell company at such time, completed a merger transaction (referred to as the “reverse merger” throughout this filing), which is described in further detail below, and resulted in Youchange, Inc. shareholders obtaining control of BSFG. The surviving publicly traded entity following the reverse merger transaction changed its name to “YouChange Holdings Corp” during May 2010.  The terms “youchange”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to YouChange Holdings Corp and its consolidated subsidiary, Youchange, Inc., following the date of the merger transaction, and to Youchange, Inc. prior to the date of the reverse merger transaction. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year end is June 30.

For accounting purposes, Youchange, Inc. is the acquirer in the reverse merger transaction, and consequently the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in these consolidated financial statements are those of Youchange, Inc. and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Youchange, Inc.  All shares and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of Youchange.

We were organized as a software and services venture in the Green Technology (“GreenTech”) sector to develop a leading social movement to focus on the elimination of electronic waste (“eWaste”) in the United States, which includes any used, obsolete end-of-life consumer electronics and computer devices.  The GreenTech sector is a recognized business sector also known as Environmental Technology or “Envirotech”.  Companies in this sector apply environmental science in an effort to help conserve the environment and choose business approaches that are environmentally and economically sustainable.

The Company’s software includes a destination website, www.youchange.com, where users can join and refer friends to learn about the problem of electronic waste through content, blogs and forums.  Site members are encouraged to take action through the turn-over and sale of their end-of-life, used or obsolete electronics, which reduces the risk of adding to the waste stream.  Members access the youchange calculator and offer database through www.youchange.com and by answering a series of questions, may receive a real-time cash and/or reward points offer. Initially, reward points collected by members may be used to exchange for other items  in the “Shop Green” area of the youchange.com website, which is an online marketplace where points can be exchanged for product. In addition to the youchange.com website, users can join and learn about local events and electronic collection drives through youchange Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In social media pages.  The local electronic collection events play an important part of the youchange strategy and are done in partnership with local sports teams, businesses, individuals, schools and charity groups.

Youchange is developing an electronic Tracking System (“eTS”) to provide asset receiving, refurbishment and disposal recycling tracking though the complete handling cycle of all electronics collected.  In addition, the website and the eTS are expected to allow business to business activity. Businesses can dispose of excess electronics in bulk. The eTS is expected to extend past the website and electronic pricing and rewards calculator previously launched through youchange.com and is intended to be used by local retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers that may partner with youchange.  Youchange intends on generating revenue through the refurbishment, resale (“reCommerce”) and recycling of the electronics collected, facilitating the sustainability objectives by extending the lifecycle of these items and keeping such items from the electronic waste stream.  Once developed and launched, the youchange eTS is expected to become part of a system that will allow youchange to establish a reCommerce business without an investment in bricks and mortar by partnering with, and charging a management fee to, local retailers, electronic refurbishment centers and recyclers.
  
The Company has realized minimal revenues from its planned business purpose to the date of this filing and currently has limited operations.  Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation.  The Company has devoted its efforts to business planning and development and has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment in bringing its product to the market and raising capital.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include carrying amounts of long-lived assets and advances to Feature Marketing, deferred financing costs and deferred taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 
Reverse Merger with BSFG

On March 15, 2010, BSFG and its wholly owned subsidiary BlueStar Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger  (the “Merger Agreement”) with Youchange, Inc. The Merger Agreement and the acquisition agreed to therein was closed on March 30, 2010.  At the closing of the reverse merger, Youchange, Inc. merged into Merger Sub, with Youchange, Inc. as the surviving entity. At the time the Merger Agreement was executed, Jeffrey Rassás and Richard Papworth, currently our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, and directors of the Company, were directors and officers of both BSFG and Youchange, Inc. BSFG acquired all 7,183,197 of the issued and outstanding common shares of Youchange Inc. from Youchange Inc. shareholders in exchange for 21,549,591 shares of BSFG Common Stock.  Youchange, Inc. shareholders received three shares of BSFG Common Stock for each share of Youchange, Inc.  These figures included 2,049,591 shares of BSFG Common Stock issued to the former note holders of Youchange, Inc. whereby the $500,000 principal amount of secured convertible promissory notes plus accrued interest of $13,681 was converted into 683,197 shares of Youchange, Inc. common stock immediately prior to the reverse merger. As a result of the reverse merger there are a total of 35,405,588 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the transaction, of which the former Youchange, Inc. shareholders hold 61%. Additionally, following the completion of the reverse merger, we issued 1,456,000 shares of our common stock to the sellers of BSFG.

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.  If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources.  Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (i) obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses; (ii) obtaining funding from outside sources through the sale of its debt and/or equity securities; and (iii) as a last resort, seeking out and completing a merger with another company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attaining profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for deposits up to certain limits.  The Company had no uninsured cash as of June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010, but may from time to time have cash balances that exceed insured limits.
 
Inventory

Inventories consist of consumer electronics and computer devices and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. We establish reserves for inventory to reflect situations in which the cost of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, we consider such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventory and current and expected market conditions. We record provisions for inventory obsolescence as part of cost of products sold. Inventories are presented net of allowances relating to the above provisions; however, as of June 30, 2011, no provisions were deemed to be warranted or required by management.

YOUCHANGE HOLDINGS CORP
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)


 
Deferred Financing Costs

Debt financing costs are amortized over the contractual term of the underlying note payable using the effective interest method.  If debt is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. During fiscal 2010, the Company incurred $50,000 of deferred financing costs relative to the issuance of $500,000 of convertible notes payable. As described above, these notes, along with unpaid accrued interest of $13,681 were converted into common shares of Youchange, Inc. prior to the reverse merger transaction.  The notes bore interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum and under the terms of the note agreements, were convertible into shares of Youchange, Inc. at a rate of $0.75 per share and were due in six months from the date of issuance.  During fiscal 2010, the total $50,000 of deferred financing costs was amortized to interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when earned; that is, when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer upon delivery to the designated carrier. Cash discounts, sales incentives and returns are estimated and recognized at the time of sale based on historical experience and current customer commitments. Revenue is reported net of discounts and returns and excludes sales taxes.
  
Income taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized currently for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely that such assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and review the amount of such allowance annually. When we determine certain deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be utilized, we will reduce our valuation allowance accordingly.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months.  Any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense.  Since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. We are subject to tax audits for our U.S. federal and certain state tax returns for the tax years ending June 30, 2009 and 2010. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and other accrued expenses and notes payable.  All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at June 30, 2011.  The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 
·
Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
·
Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
·
Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
 
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We will evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 or 2010. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation commences at the time the assets are placed in service.  Gains or losses on disposals of assets are recognized as incurred.  As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, our property and equipment consists of furniture and fixtures at our corporate offices.  These assets have an estimated useful life of seven years and were placed in service on June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, accumulated depreciation was $1,200 and nil, respectively.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Impairment losses are to be recognized when the carrying amount of a long lived asset is not recoverable or exceeds its fair value.  The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a carrying value may not be recoverable.  The Company uses estimates of future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long lived asset or asset group to determine the recoverability of the asset.  These estimates only include the net cash flows directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. We have not recognized any impairment losses for the Company’s long lived assets from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.

Earnings Per Share Information

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of outstanding Common Stock purchase warrants and stock options using the treasury stock method and the dilutive effects of convertible securities using the if-converted method. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same for all periods reported due to the net losses attributable to common shareholders for all periods reported. As of June 30, 2011, we had convertible notes payable outstanding that, with accrued interest, were convertible into approximately 436,000 common shares.  As of June 30, 2011, the conversion ratio for these notes was lower than our closing stock price.  These convertible notes payable are described in more detail in Note 6.

Software Development Costs

The costs of developing internal–use software are to be evaluated during three stages of the development project.  The stages are: (i) the preliminary project stage; (ii) the application development stage; and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Only costs associated with the application development stage are capitalized.  Development costs associated with the other two stages are expensed as incurred.  Capitalizable costs include fees paid to third parties to develop the software during the application development stage, payroll costs for employees directly associated with the development project and only include specific time spent working directly on the development project and interest costs incurred while developing the project, if any. The Company has capitalized costs incurred in the application development stage totaling $88,650 and $40,000 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  These costs relate to our proprietary business platform.  We have contracted with a software development team to create this business platform and web-based interface.  During the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred approximately $87,000 and $40,000 of capitalized software development costs, respectively, from NOMA Enterprises, LLC, an entity controlled by Naser Ahmad, Chief Technology Officer of Youchange, Inc. These costs will be amortized over a period of three years following completion of the project.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was de minimis for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.

Beneficial Conversion Features

The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the common shares at the commitment date to be received upon conversion. 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”).  ASU 2011-05 provides for the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of which format is chosen, the amendments establish a requirement for entities to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and for nonpublic entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012 and interim and annual periods thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASC 2011-04”).  The amendments in ASC 2011-04 were issued in order to align the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  However, many of the amendments in ASC 2011-04 will not result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective, on a prospective basis, for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and for nonpublic entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

During December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2010-28”). ASU 2010-28 addresses questions about entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts because some entities concluded that Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is passed in those circumstances because the fair value of their reporting unit will generally be greater than zero. The amendments in this update do not provide guidance on how to determine the carrying amount or measure the fair value of the reporting unit. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-17, Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method ("ASU 2010-17"). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The following criteria must be met for a milestone to be considered substantive. The consideration earned by achieving the milestone should be: (i) commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the item delivered as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the vendor's performance to achieve the milestone; (ii) related solely to past performance and (iii) reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No split of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement. Accordingly, an arrangement may contain both substantive and non-substantive milestones. ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

3. Feature Marketing Acquisition

Effective December 31, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Feature Marketing, Inc. (“Feature Marketing”) an Arizona corporation.  The Exchange Agreement provided for the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Feature Marketing in exchange for 3,030,303 shares of our common stock and $200,000 of cash. Feature Marketing owns and operates a computer and consumer electronics refurbishment center based in Scottsdale, Arizona, which we intended to integrate with our planned operations.

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, on February 25, 2011, the Company and Feature Marketing entered into a Rescission Agreement that provided for the rescission of the acquisition as of December 31, 2010, so that from an economic standpoint, the acquisition never occurred and all applicable shares were never exchanged. Accordingly, the financial position and results of Feature Marketing have not been, and are never expected to be, consolidated with those of the Company. The Company believes the rescission of this transaction was in its best interests based on the discovery of a mutual mistake and impossibility to perform under the agreement, which was not contemplated by either party.

The Company executed a non-exclusive fulfillment agreement with Feature Marketing on March 29, 2011.  Under the terms of the fulfillment agreement, Feature Marketing will provide receiving, refurbishment, shipping and storage services and  repay the amounts previously advanced towards the acquisition discussed above.  As of June 30, 2011 advances outstanding totaled approximately $97,000, which are secured by the assets of Feature Marketing and are supported by a promissory note from Feature Marketing.  These advances bear interest at a rate of 24.0% per annum.  We have recognized interest income totaling approximately $28,000 relative to these advances for the period from August 22, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2011.  During June 2011, Feature Marketing returned 75,000 common shares it had previously owned, in exchange for a reduction of amounts due us of approximately $26,000, which was the fair value of the shares at the time they were returned.  These shares have been accounted for as treasury stock as of June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, management believes all outstanding advances to Feature Marketing, and interest on such advances, will be fully realized and accordingly, has not provided for any allowance for these balances as of June 30, 2011.

4. Common Stock

7. Provision for Income Taxes
