NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business
Virtual Piggy, Inc. (“the Company” or “Virtual Piggy”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.   Virtual Piggy is a technology company that delivers an online e-commerce solution for the family. Its system allows parents and their children to manage and allocate funds and track the child’s expenditures, savings and charitable giving online. Its system is designed to allow the child to transact online without a credit card by gaining the parent’s permission ahead of time and allowing the parent to set up the rules of use and authorized spending limits.

The Virtual Piggy product enables online businesses to interact and transact with the “Under 18” market in a manner consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other similar international children’s privacy laws.  Virtual Piggy was launched in the US in 2012 and was launched in the European market in 2013.

The Company has secured 143 agreements with merchants, retail and gaming e-commerce platforms and payment processors.  Over 20 of the merchants are using Virtual Piggy live with their e-commerce systems and the Company is in the process of integrating the other signed merchants. The Company is continuing to add merchants. In addition, Virtual Piggy has the capability to offer and deliver digital gift cards.

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.  
 
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 and accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses 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.
 

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.  Expenditures for new equipment and major expenditures for existing equipment are capitalized and depreciated using the straight line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.  All other ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company’s depreciation and amortization policies on property and equipment are as follows:


 
Useful life
 
(in years)
   
Computer equipment
 3 - 5
Furniture and fixtures
 7

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment.

The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company determined that no impairment was required after going through the impairment testing related to the operating long-lived assets (property and equipment and patents and trademarks).

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 at the time of the sale utilizing Virtual Piggy payment method at checkout.
 
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 2012 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

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 September 30, 2013 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 September 30, 2013, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified in order for them to be in conformity with the 2013 presentation.

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 inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan.  The Company is paying 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 currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations.  In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or 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 would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would 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 generate additional revenue to support operations.

Overview

Virtual Piggy, Inc. (the “Company” or “Virtual Piggy”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.   Virtual Piggy is a technology company that delivers an online ecommerce solution for the family. Its system allows parents and their children to manage and allocate funds and track the child’s expenditures, savings and charitable giving online. Its system is designed to allow the child to transact online without a credit card by gaining the parent’s permission ahead of time and allowing the parent to set up the rules of use. In addition to its main focus, the Company is also working on technology that will make the overall online experience safer for the “Under 18” market (“U18s”).
 
 The Virtual Piggy product enables online businesses to interact and transact with the U18s market in a manner consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other similar international children’s privacy laws.  The Virtual Piggy product offering was launched in the United States in 2012 and was launched in European markets in 2013.
 
 
The Company has secured 143 agreements with merchants, game publishers, e-commerce platforms, gaming platforms and payment processors. Over 20 of the merchants and game publishers are using Virtual Piggy live with their e-commerce systems and the Company is in the process of integrating the other signed merchants and gaming publishers. The Company is continuing to add merchants and gaming publishers. In addition, Virtual Piggy has the capability to offer and deliver digital gift cards.
         
Strategic Outlook

We believe that the e-commerce 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.

Our primary strategic objective over the next 12-24 months is to continue our merchant acquisition program and rapidly expand our consumer acquisition program which will generate revenue that we believe will ultimately cover our operating expenses and allow us to become profitable.   We began our user acquisition efforts in March 2013 and currently have over 500,000 system users, which we define as a registered account that has accessed the Virtual Piggy product within the past 12 months.  Our goal for 2013 is to acquire one million system users by year end. We plan to achieve this objective by advertising our product and services to consumers through public relations programs, merchant promotions and affiliate marketing programs.  As our service grows, we intend to hire additional information staff 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, and consumer spending through our system.  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 September 30, 2013 and 2012

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.

Revenue/Net Loss

We are a development stage company and have not generated significant revenue since our inception.  For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we generated revenues of $1,382 and $8, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we processed $50,292 of merchant transactions and $13,764 of gift card sales compared to essentially none in the third quarter of last year.  We commenced our user acquisition campaign in March 2013 and currently have over 500,000 system users.  During this initial startup phase, the majority of our system users have not processed a transaction through our system to purchase an item from a merchant.  However, we expect these transactions to occur and are continuing to market to these system users, and expect that many of them will become active system users over time, particularly as we continue to add merchants to our network and continually market to our user base.  We earn revenue by charging a percentage to the merchant for each transaction processed through such merchants through the Virtual Piggy network.  In the second and third quarter of the current year, we have added online gaming sites which have generated repeat transactions from gaming users.

Our net loss increased $3,286,752 to $5,305,486 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,018,734 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which was the result of increased expenses as we have expanded our business as further described below.

Consulting Expenses
  
Consulting expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $1,034,270 as compared to $242,116 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $792,154.  The increase was the result of fees for investor relations activities, merchants meeting option milestones and increased use consultants in our London office for certain software and product development efforts.
  
Marketing Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, marketing expenses were $1,462,861, an increase of $1,319,377 from $143,484 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the last 12 months Virtual Piggy has developed a strong international marketing department headquartered out of Hermosa Beach office. With the introduction of class A merchants such as Claires Inc. and Habbo Hotel in the third quarter, Virtual Piggy has run and continues to run co-marketing campaigns alongside these and newly acquired merchants to promote both the Virtual Piggy service and the availability of the particular merchant on the Virtual Piggy network. These marketing efforts have directly led to the acquisition of new users and of new merchants. The campaigns have also led to greater awareness of the Virtual Piggy brand. Virtual Piggy has signed a contract with the American Media firm Universal McCann to help deliver marketing outreach campaigns. We expect to continue this spending in future quarters.
 
Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased $9,241 to $179,476 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $188,717 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  These costs resulted from the Company’s continued efforts to develop its platform, including mobile applications, and the integration of merchants into the platform.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased $137,572 to $256,296 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $118,724 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase related primarily to increased public company costs, including SOX compliance, fees related to our certification compliance with privacy and COPPA regulations and legal and professional fees related to our expansion into Europe.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $587,342 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $320,052 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $267,290.   The increase is primarily related to the expansion of our offices, the addition of our London office, an increase in staff to support our operations and the general expansion of our business.

Consulting expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1,931,801 as compared to $4,422,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $2,490,440.  The decrease resulted primarily from the settlement of a dispute related to a marketing agreement in 2012 and stock based compensation related to consulting agreements entered into  in 2012 (representing an aggregate of $3,845,386), as well as the Company hiring employees rather than using consultants to perform key functions.
   
Marketing Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, marketing expenses were $2,037,589, an increase of $1,574,480 from $463,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the last 12 months Virtual Piggy has developed a strong international marketing department headquartered out of Hermosa Beach office. With the introduction of class A merchants such as Claires Inc. and Habbo Hotel in the third quarter, Virtual Piggy has run and continues to run co-marketing campaigns alongside these and newly acquired merchants to promote both the Virtual Piggy service and the availability of the particular merchant on the Virtual Piggy network. These marketing efforts have directly led to the acquisition of new users and of new merchants. The campaigns have also led to greater awareness of the Virtual Piggy brand. Virtual Piggy has signed a contract with the American Media firm Universal McCann to help deliver marketing outreach campaigns. We expect to continue this spending in future quarters.
 
Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased $256,862 to $612,958 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $356,096 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increased costs resulted from the Company’s continued efforts to develop its platform, including mobile applications, and the integration of merchants into the platform.

Travel Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, travel expenses were $717,931 an increase of $352,450 from $365,481 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The expenses incurred were primarily associated with increased sales and marketing activities in the United States and Europe, capital raising and investor relations activities.
 
Professional Fees

Professional fees increased $291,267 to $652,303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $361,036 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase related primarily to increased public company costs, including SOX compliance, fees related to our certification compliance with privacy and COPPA regulations and legal and professional fees related to our expansion into Europe. 
        
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,512,797 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $871,823 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $640,974.   The increase is primarily the result of the expansion of our offices, the addition of our London office, an increase in staff related to support our operations and the general expansion of our business.

Interest Expense

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred no interest expense as compared to $90,560 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Interest expense in 2012 related to interim debt financing prior to the completion of several private placements of securities, the proceeds of which were used to pay off debt.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the filing date of this report, we had cash on hand of approximately $2.7 million.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $9,777,170, as compared to $4,532,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increased use of $5,244,498. The increase resulted primarily from expanded operations including marketing the Virtual Piggy product, hiring additional staff, commencing our user acquisition campaign and opening an office in London.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $298,284, as compared to $292,363 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $5,921.  These investments are principally for the purchase of equipment and costs of patents and trademarks.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,287,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $469,963 from $7,757,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company completed a number of private placements of its securities aimed at the continued financing of the business.  The Company also received $1,612,595 through option and warrant exercises in 2013.
 
As we have not generated any meaningful revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through private placement offerings of equity and debt securities.  We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.  

We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months.  Our current cash on hand should sustain our operations through December 2013.  We have recently commenced our revenue generating activities and we need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the continued development of our platform, and execute our business plan.  If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.  The sale of equity securities is dependent upon shareholders’ approval of an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock (see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors).  The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders.  If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we would be unable to execute our business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, 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 summary of these policies is included in Note 1 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 Standards 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 term of the consulting agreement.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission 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 at the time of the sale of the associated product.
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of September 30, 2013, 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 September 30, 2013, 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 September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not a party to any legal proceedings.

RISK FACTORS.
 
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and in our 2012 Form 10-K, under the caption “Risk Factors”, our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the other information in our 2012 Form 10-K. Readers should carefully review those risks, as well as additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Management’s judgment could impact the amount of non-cash compensation expense
 
To estimate the fair value of our stock option awards we currently use the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model. The determination of the fair value of equity-based awards on the date of grant using an options pricing model is affected by our then current stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Management is required to make certain judgments for these variables which include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected term of options based on employee exercise behaviors, and the risk-free interest rate. One of the factors used in determining such value is stock volatility.  Because of the limited trading activity of our common stock, we use the stock volatility of four peer companies.  To the extent that we used different peer companies to measure volatility, a different stock volatility factor may result which would cause a different stock valuation and a related increase or decrease in non-cash compensation expense. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments used in estimating key assumptions, in future periods, the stock option expense that we record for future grants may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
 
We require shareholders to authorize additional shares for us to properly finance our business

Upon the Company’s formation, our shareholders authorized the issuance of up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock.  Currently, only 4.6 million of such shares remain available for issuance after accounting for reserved shares. The Company also has 2 million preferred shares which are currently authorized but unused.  In September, 2013, our board of directors approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock by 30,000,000 to 180,000,000. On October 8, 2013, the Company mailed a proxy to all shareholders to vote on this increase at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting to be held on November 18, 2013. However, such shares cannot be used until the increase is approved by shareholders representing over 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.   To finance and continue to grow our business, we will require additional capital and have historically relied upon the issuance of common stock for such financing.  Should our shareholders be unwilling to approve a sufficient increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock, we would be required to finance our business with debt or other instruments, which may be difficult or impossible to secure on terms acceptable to us.  If that were to occur, we may not be able to (a) pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, (b) execute our business plan, (c) take advantage of future opportunities, or (d) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements or in the extreme case, liquidate the Company.

We may not be able to qualify to have our common stock listed on a national stock exchange
 
The Company’s common stock currently trades on the Over the Counter Market (“OTC QB”) in the United States.  To facilitate liquidity and trading in the Company’s shares, the Company has stated that it is the Company’s goal to be listed on a national stock exchange.  Listing requirements include financial and trading requirements that, as of September 30, 2013 the Company does not meet.  The listing process can be lengthy and is discretionary.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s application will be approved or that the Company will ever be listed on a national stock exchange.  Currently, the Company does not qualify for listing based on its stock price, among other things. If the Company’s listing is not approved or if the Company withdraws from the application process, the Company’s shares would continue to trade on the OTC QB.  In that event, certain institutional investors may not be able to purchase the Company’s common stock as a result of their own ownership guidelines and liquidity in the Company’s common stock would remain more limited that it would have been if such listing application had been approved.  Further, the Company’s ability to raise money through subsequent offerings of its common stock will be more limited if the Company is not able to up-list to a national exchange.
 
The Company may be subject to credit card transaction fraud

The Company’s business model depends upon the processing of credit cards and includes the sale of gift cards.  In cases where the Company is the merchant of record on a gift card sale, the Company could be held financially responsible for the value of gift cards which are purchased using a fraudulent or stolen credit card. While the Company uses software and safeguards to ensure that credit cards it accepts are valid, there can be no assurance that credit card fraud will not occur.  In addition, in the case of transactions where the Company’s merchant is in the United States and is the merchant of record, the Company is not generally responsible for credit card fraud.  However, given that the Company’s business is dependent on the successful processing of credit cards and payment solutions, fraudulent processing could have an adverse effect on our merchant relationships and could result in liability.  Additionally, other countries have varying rules on who the responsible party would be in certain variations of credit card or other payment fraud these cases.  While the Company is researching such international policies and rules and is implementing safeguards to minimize risk, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur liability relating to credit card or other payment fraud.
