NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of the Business
Virtual Piggy, Inc. (“the Company”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008. The Company initially concentrated its efforts on developing a business plan which was designed to allow it to create the massive multiplayer online gaming platform (the “Platform”) and massive multiplayer online games (“MMOGs”) for use on its Platform. Those activities included, but were not limited to, securing initial capital in order to fund the development of a demonstration model for portions of the Platform and working capital, securing a board of directors, management personnel and consultants who the Company believes will assist in developing the Platform and meet the business goals, conducting market research regarding the MMOG industry and the Platform and planned MMOGs, and other pre-marketing activities. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2010, in light of the Company’s belief that increased market interest towards the security aspects of online gaming and social networking have emerged, the Company has refocused its efforts towards delivering a platform technology designed to manage the under 18 age group’s online experience in a secure manner. The Company has developed and introduced the Virtual Piggy product to the marketplace and is attempting to develop and introduce the ParentMatch product to the marketplace in 2013 to 2014.
Virtual Piggy is designed to provide an online piggy bank security service that allows parents to setup and control their children’s spending online. Parents and guardians will be able to determine who is allowed to contribute to their child’s account as well as provide notification mechanisms back to the contributors when the funds are spent. The parent can establish how much a child can spend in a single transaction and how much they can spend over time. The Virtual Piggy service tracks all spending and the parent can receive alerts and reports on spending patterns. A third-party site would prompt a child to enter their VirtualPiggy ID – when they attempt to make a transaction. This ID along with category, pricing and descriptive information about the purchase would be sent to the VirtualPiggy webservice. Based on the rules set out by the parent, VirtualPiggy would send back a Yes/No signal to the requesting service and either allow or prohibit the transaction.
ParentMatch, and its companion product, ParentPlayback, will be designed to provide the parent/guardian with a higher level of control than is currently provided by ‘nanny’ type services. In addition the ID follows the child whenever they are on a computer as opposed to traditional controls which are resident on a PC by PC basis. ParentMatch provides filtering for the parent to be able to control such areas as (i) sites a child may access; (ii) types of content they may view and (iii) who they can interact with online. ParentPlayback will provide the parent with a video transcript of their child’s online session. Since inception, substantially all of the efforts of the Company have been developing technologies for multiplayer online role playing games and the Virtual Piggy, ParentMatch and ParentPlayback platforms. The Company is in the development stage of raising capital, financial planning, establishing sources of supply, and acquiring property and equipment. The Company anticipates establishing global markets for its services.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 915 for development stage entities. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comprehensive Income
The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable. The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable approximate fair value, because of their short maturity.
Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash
The Company may have deposits with a financial institution which at times exceed Federal Depository Insurance coverage of $250,000.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), the Company will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company will generally recognize revenue from Virtual Piggy and Virtual Parent at the time of the sale of the associated product.
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Tax years from 2008 through 2011 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
Loss Per Share
The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share were the same.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Start-up Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 720, start-up costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As of March 31, 2012 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
As of March 31, 2012, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations during the development stage. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Since our inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing our business plan. The Company has begun to pay salaries to management and has utilized offshore programmers on a work for hire basis to assist in developing the demonstration model. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company is currently in need of approximately $2.7 million of additional capital aside from what has been raised through March 31, 2012 to enable it to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the continued development of our Platform, and execute the business plan. The Company intends to raise such financing through the sale of debt and equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed, or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s current monetization model is to derive a percentage of all revenues generated by online merchants using the Virtual Piggy service. Merchants are billed at the end of each month for all transactions that have been processed by the Company on their behalf in the prior month. As the merchant base and consumer base grows, and as the trend to higher online spending levels continues, the Company expects to see significant revenue generated through this approach. Based on current rollout plans and projections, the Company expects to see significant revenue generated by this model by late 2013 or early 2014 and to be supplemented by the addition of new revenue models planned for late 2013. Even if the Company is successful in raising sufficient capital to complete the development of the Virtual Piggy and ParentMatch products, the Company’s ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when revenues reach a level that sustains the business operations.
Virtual Piggy, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
If sufficient funding cannot be obtained in the short term, the Company will need to reduce monthly expenditures to a level that will enable the Company to continue until such funds can be obtained. The Company has raised $2,717,650, net of stock issuance costs of $28,000 through a private placement from December 31, 2011 through March 31, 2012. The Company also raised $3,727,579 through an additional private placement from April 5, 2012 through May 14, 2012. In addition, on May 2, 2012, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-U.S. person, pursuant to which such person committed to purchase $1 million of the Company's securities. An initial funding of $150,000 occurred on May 2, 2012 and the remaining $850,000 will be funded in a series of six closings, which will occur on the 1st day of each month commencing on June1, 2012 and continuing until November 1, 2012.
The Company is in the development stage at March 31, 2012. Successful completion of the Company’s development program, and the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level.
NOTE 3 – PATENTS
The Company continues to apply for patents. Accordingly, costs associated with the registration of these patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (20 years). During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were capitalized patent costs of $74,957 and $0. Amortization expense for patents was $1,054 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE
In September 2011, the Company commenced a private placement of up to 10 units at a price of $50,000 per unit to accredited investors. One unit consists of a non interest bearing demand note payable in the amount of $50,000 due November 12, 2012, warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share and a term expiring November 12, 2012, and 15,000 shares of common stock. In December 2011, the Company completed the private placement and raised $500,000. The warrants were valued at $20,930, fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 39.8% to 62.8%, risk free interest rate of .1% and expected option life of 1.2 years. The shares of common stock were valued at $82,655 or $.45 to $.70 per share, fair value. Both the warrant value and the shares of common stock were treated as a discount to the value of the note payable in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and are being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $37,106 and $0 of interest was accreted on the notes payable.
On February 8, 2012, February 27, 2012, and April 10, 2012, $100,000, $50,000, and $25,000 respectively, of the notes payable was repaid.
On April 26, 2012, the remaining balance of the notes payable of $175,000 was converted into 564,516 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 282,258 shares of the Company’s common stock.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
As of January 1, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2012 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2012. Tax years from 2008 through 2011 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, since management has determined that the realization of the net tax deferred asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

NOTE 7 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
During 2008, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock to any officer, other employee or director of, or any consultant or other independent contractor who provides services to the Company. The Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Incentive Stock Options”). All options granted under the Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory Stock Options”). As of March 31, 2012, 12,960,000 options have been issued and are unexercised, and 3,040,000 options that are available to be issued under the Plan. Of the 12,960,000 options that have been issued and are unexercised, 10,415,000 options were granted to employees or persons who later became employees and 2,545,000 options were granted to non-employees.
The Plan is administered by the Board, which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted, and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the terms of the Plan.
In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company).
Volatility in all instances presented is the Company’s estimate of volatility that is based on the volatility of other public companies that are in closely related industries to the Company.
During 2008, the Company issued the Secretary of the Company options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $.04 per share which were valued at $8,825 and expensed immediately. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 51.8%, risk free interest rate of 2.5%, and expected option life of 5 years. The options expire five years from the date of issuance.
During 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, whereby, the President and Chief Executive Officer was issued options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $.04 per share which were valued at $71,871 and expensed immediately. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 51.8%, risk free interest rate of 3.3%, and expected option life of 5 years. The options expire five years from the date of issuance.
During 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Director of Corporate Development whereby the Director of Corporate Development was issued options to purchase 2,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $.04 per share which were valued at $197,645 and expensed immediately. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 51.8%, risk free interest rate of 3.3% and expected option life of 5 years. The options expire five years from the date of issuance.
During 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors whereby the member of the Board of Directors was issued options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $.04 per share which were valued at $89,838, fair value, and expensed immediately. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 51.8%, risk free interest rate of 3.3%, and expected option life of 5 years. The options expire five years from the date of issuance.

Overview
We were incorporated in Delaware in February 2008. We are a development stage company and have had limited business operations. For the period from inception through March 31, 2012, we have concentrated our efforts on developing a business plan which is designed to allow us to create our Platform. Those activities included, but were not limited to, securing initial capital in order to fund the development of a demonstration model for portions of the Platform and working capital, securing a board of directors, management personnel and consultants who we believe will assist us in developing the Platform and meet our business goals, conducting market research regarding the industry and our Platform, and other pre-marketing activities.
We are a technology development company that delivers an online security platform, which we refer to as the “Platform.” The Platform is currently composed of three separate products and is designed for the management of the “Under 18” age group’s online experience. Our overarching mission is to deliver solutions to meet the exponential growth of the “Under 18” age group transacting in the global online market. Our Platform is designed to enable online businesses to interact with “tweens” or children between the ages of 8-14 in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), and other similar international children’s privacy laws.
Our Platform currently consists of three separate security management products targeted at the Under 18 market:
·
|
Virtual Piggy;
|
|
·
|
ParentMatch and ParentPlayback; and
|
·
|
Age Verification Service
|
Our Virtual Piggy product, which has been launched in the market, enables online businesses to interact and transact with the “Under 18” market in a manner consistent with “COPPA” and other similar international children’s privacy laws. Virtual Piggy provides an online payment profile that allows parents to set up, monitor and control their children’s online spending. Parents can establish how much a child can spend in a single transaction, or over time, and also control the merchants with which the child can transact business. Parents also have the ability to set up approval rules and notification methods.
Our ParentMatch and ParentPlayback products are currently under development and are designed to provide the parent/guardian with a higher level of control than is currently provided by ‘nanny’ type services. In addition, the web service ID will follow the child whenever he or she is on a computer, unlike traditional controls that are resident on a PC by PC basis.
Age Check will be a persistent software system and service designed to provide a verification mechanism for the age of a person online. The system and service will provide a rapid secure checking mechanism to determine a person’s age. The main purpose of this system and service is to determine whether setup information supplied by a person to gain access to a social network or other online site is correct.
Our Plan of Operation
A phased approach to the introduction of our Platform is planned.
As of the date of this report, we have completed the design and development of Virtual Piggy. We announced the release of Virtual Piggy in January 2011 and commenced marketing and distribution efforts in February 2011. We released our Virtual Piggy mobile application on the iOS platform in early 2012. We are in discussions with several global merchants and we plan a market introduction of Virtual Piggy into Europe by early 2013. The Virtual Piggy service is running live and processing live transactions with real merchants and consumers.
We are planning the release of ParentMatch and Parent Playback in 2013-2014 to line up with our international marketing campaign of Virtual Piggy. These technologies are currently in the design and prototyping phases, but we expect that they will be developed and released as a single application that provides both sets of functionality. Our plan is to market this technology to customers of our Virtual Piggy platform and the mobile market.
The last component of our solution is Age Verification Service. We expect to complete the design and development of Age Verification in 2014. This service is still in the design phase and, therefore, our commercialization strategy for this service is still in the preliminary stages and has yet to be finalized.
We are seeking additional funds to help fund the operations and in particular the planned marketing programs. We are relocating our headquarters to the Los Angeles, California area where a significant number of our merchants have their global headquarters. We have retained a public relations agency in the Los Angeles area – Bender Helper Impact to help us with our public relations and consumer outreach campaigns.
As of May 15, 2012, we have approximately $4.1 million in cash on hand. Our ability to execute on our current plan was dependent on raising approximately $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 of additional capital, of which we have raised $7,070,229 net of stock issuance costs of $28,000 since December 16, 2011. Even though we have raised the capital that we have projected we need to implement our plan, future unanticipated events may occur that require the Company to raise additional capital; and/or achieve profitable operations. The foregoing projected implementation plan was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based.
Strategic Outlook
We believe that the online gaming market and virtual goods market will continue to grow over the long term. Within the market, we intend to provide services to the online industry to allow them to transact with children in compliance with COPPA and similar international privacy laws. We believe that this particular opportunity is relatively untapped and expect to be a leading provider of online transactions for children.
The Company’s current monetization model is to derive a percentage of all revenues generated by online merchants using the Virtual Piggy service. Merchants are billed at the end of each month for all transactions that have been processed by the Company on their behalf in the prior month. As the merchant base and consumer base grows, and as the trend to higher online spending levels continues, the Company expects to see significant revenue generated through this approach. Based on current rollout plans and projections, the Company expects to see significant revenue generated by this model by late 2013 or early 2014 and to be supplemented by the addition of new revenue models planned for late 2013.
Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, the continued growth of the online market, and compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan. The online payment industry is intensely competitive, and most participants have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service, other resources, and greater name recognition. In addition, certain potential customers, particularly large organizations, may view our small size and limited financial resources as a negative even if they prefer our offering to those of our competitors.
Our primary strategic objective over the next 12-24 months, is to fully develop and implement our Platform and generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our operating expenses and support additional growth over the next several years. We plan to achieve this objective by completing the development and implementation of the Platform in a timely and efficient manner and supplementing the roll-out of each phase of our service with an extensive, layered marketing approach. As our service grows, we intend to hire additional information technology professionals to maintain our product offerings and develop new products to increase our market share.
We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our service. Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.
Net Loss for Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Lack of Revenue: We are a development stage company and have not generated any significant revenue since our inception. For the three months March 31, 2012 and 2011, we generated revenues of $1,168 and $326, an increase of $842. During such time we devoted our efforts to formalizing our business plan, and raising initial capital to commence our operations.
Expenses: The following amounts represent the most significant components of expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:
a) General and Administrative expenses: For the three months ended March 31, 2012 general and administrative expenses were $341,178, an increase of $215,233 from $125,945 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase resulted primarily from approximate increases in board fees of $25,000, employee benefits of $5,400, marketing of $132,900, meals and entertainment of $8,200, video and logo animation of $13,800, and website expense of $18,500. The increases resulted from continued expenses related to the development of our Platform and marketing the Virtual Piggy product.
b) Consulting Expense: For the three months ended March 31, 2012, consulting expenses were $641,849, an increase of $313,754 from $328,095 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase resulted primarily from a settlement entered into with a former consultant and from an increase in payments to consultants related to marketing and infrastructure, as well as stock based compensation related to consultant agreements.
c) Payroll Expenses: During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $206,796 of compensation expenses as compared to $16,733 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $190,243. The increase resulted from the hiring of eight employees as well as employee stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
d) Professional Fees: During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $144,913 of professional fees as compared to $103,449 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $41,464. The increase related primarily to legal and accounting fees associated with the private placements and option issuances.
e) Research and Development: During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $86,606 of research and development expenses as compared to $77,726 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $8,880. The increase was due to the development costs of our Virtual Piggy, ParentMatch and ParentPlayback applications.
f) Travel: For the three months ended March 31, 2012 travel expenses were $87,768, an increase of $16,841 from $70,927 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The expenses incurred were primarily associated with capital raising activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, we had cash on hand of approximately $4.1 million.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased to $1,149,486 from $567,526 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 an increase of $581,960 as a result of expanded operations including marketing the Virtual Piggy product, hiring employees and establishing the infrastructure of the Company.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased to $90,169 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase resulted from the purchase of computer equipment and costs of patents and trademarks.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,567,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $2,567,650 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We repaid notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and completed one private placement. Cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of the issuance of shares of commons stock and warrants.
As we have not generated any meaningful revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and private offerings of debt and equity securities. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. The following sets forth our primary sources of capital during the previous two years:
Between August 2010 and December 2010, we raised proceeds of $2,000,000 through the sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock in a private placement transaction to accredited investors.
During 2010, we realized aggregate proceeds of $160,000 and $240,000 from the exercise of options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 and 6,892,858 shares of our common stock, respectively.
During 2010, we issued a series of unsecured promissory notes to certain of our affiliates and other investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $342,500. All of the notes were repaid in 2010 either with cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
During 2011, we issued a series of unsecured promissory notes to certain investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000. None of the notes have been repaid in 2011.
During 2011, we commenced a private placement and raised $2,717,650 in proceeds, net of stock issuance costs of $28,000.
Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We have not paid any salaries to management and have utilized offshore programmers on a work for hire basis to assist in developing the demonstration model. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. The Company is currently in need of approximately $2.7 million of additional capital aside from what has been collected through March 31, 2012 to enable it to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the continued development of our Platform, and execute the business plan. The Company intends to raise such financing through the sale of debt and equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
Even if we are successful in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the marketing of our Virtual Piggy and development of our ParentMatch products, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. We raised approximately $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. The Virtual Piggy product was introduced to the marketplace in the third quarter of 2011. We do not project that significant revenue will be developed until late 2013. While it is impossible to predict the amount of revenues, if any, that we may receive from our Virtual Piggy product, we presently believe, based solely on our internal projections, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our planned business operations if the Virtual Piggy product is marketed effectively and the ParentMatch product is developed in accordance with our plans. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan to aggressively develop, complete, and market our Virtual Piggy and ParentMatch products. Moreover there can be no assurance that even if our Virtual Piggy product is marketed effectively and the ParentMatch product is developed, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.
The foregoing project implementation and projections were prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans for our Virtual Piggy and ParentMatch products.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
Stock-based Compensation
We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 718. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “ Share-Based Payment ” (“SAB 107”) in March, 2005, which provides supplemental FASB ASC 718 application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under FASB ASC 718, compensation cost recognized includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718.
We have used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the option fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire).
Compensation expense for unvested options granted to non-employees in previous periods is being amortized over the vesting period of the options, or the term of the consulting agreement, whichever is longer.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), we will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, we will generally recognize revenue from Virtual Piggy and ParentMatch at the time of the sale of the associated product and will recognize revenue from the sale of role playing games when shipped.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
|
As of March 31, 2012, we carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
