The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the assets carrying value and fair value or disposable value. At June 30, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $53,999 pertaining to certain abandoned software development costs.
Prepaid Royalties |
The Companys agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.
Capitalized Software Development Costs |
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Companys software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it abandons.

Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration |
All issuances of the Companys stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.
Stock Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ACS Topic 505-50, formerly SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123. These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $0 and $3,457,846 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $1,152,625 and $9,221,002 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor.
Loss Per Share |
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of June 30, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 38,219,293 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $1,289,182 of debt convertible into 3,484,276 shares of the Companys common stock. Potential common shares as of June 30, 2009 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share were 33,113,934 warrants and $2,392,957 of debt convertible into 29,911,963 shares of the Companys common stock. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 125,408,456 and 122,412,447 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and weighted average common shares of 81,476,116 and 121,225,305 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk |
The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time-to-time exceed the federally insured limit.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, significantly all of the Companys revenue was generated from contracts with eight customers. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, significantly all of the Companys revenue was generated from contracts with ten customers.
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects 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 those estimates.
Convertible Debentures |
If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

13. Fair Value |
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of notes payable, convertible debentures and a derivative warrant liability. Notes payable and convertible debentures are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative warrant liability based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of its derivative warrant liability.
The Company believes all of the financial instruments recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.
The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), previously referred to as SFAS No. 157. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement (ASC 820-10-35), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. The Company also follows ASC 825 Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, previously referred to as FAS 107-1 to expand required disclosures.
ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below: Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010:

14. | Deferred Income |
In December 2005, the Company received $2,000,000 in connection with an option agreement and related service agreement. Under the terms of the option agreement, the third party payer had until July 30, 2006 to exercise the option to acquire the Company. The option was not exercised and the $2,000,000 is treated as an advance against royalties earned by the Company on the use of an application licensed to the third party payer. | |
Under the service agreement, the Company provides the application for the first four months at no cost, but is entitled to reimbursement for any direct pass through third party costs paid by the Company relating to the use of the licensed technology and related service. Thereafter the Company nets $.175 per transaction on the delivery of any mobile content to the third Party payer through the utilization of the application for a period of up to three years. As the $2,000,000 advance is not refundable, the Company is amortizing it into revenue evenly over the remaining 29 months of the license agreement pursuant to SFAS No. 50 (ASC Topic 928-10). Therefore on a monthly basis, the Company is reporting revenue relating to this license agreement the greater of the transaction fee earned or $68,966 ($2,000,000/29 months). In addition, during the first four months of the contract, the Company received the revenue generated under the service agreement as a contingency against future costs associated with the first four months of the agreement. The amount received during the four months totaled $488,952. The Company is also amortizing it into revenue on the straight-line basis pursuant to SFAS No. 50 (ASC Topic 928-10). Revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 under this agreement amounted to $0 and $0, respectively. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 under this agreement amounted to $0 and $249,329, respectively. | |

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates |
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified the following accounting policies that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require managements most difficult, subjective judgments.
Revenue Recognition. |
Under the terms of various service and licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to Accounting Codification Standard (ACS) Topic 605-45, formerly EITF 99-19 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.
Advanced service and licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with ACS Topic 928-10, formerly FASB SFAS #50.
Conventional Convertible Debt |
When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ACS Topic 470-20, formerly EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05), Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio, and formerly EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instrument(s) . In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Fair Value Measurement |
The Company adopted ACS Topic 820-10, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820-10), at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of Topic 820-10 did not impact the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10 are described below: Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. The Company has no Level 1 assets or liabilities.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
The Company has no Level 2 assets. The Companys Level 2 liabilities consist of notes payable, convertible debentures and a derivative warrant liability. The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative warrant liability based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of its derivative warrant liability.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.
Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services |
We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ACS Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, and formerly EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendors performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to ACS Topic 505, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantors balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.
Software Development Costs |
We account for our software development costs in accordance with ACS Topic 985-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Under ACS Topic 985-20, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, we amortize the costs capitalized over its expected useful life of the software, which is generally two years.

Plan of Operation
Single Touch Systems, Inc. is a provider of customized easy-to-use wireless solutions. Our patent pending technology simplifies adoption by reaching new data subscribers and generating new revenue streams for carriers, consumer brand companies and retailers. Single Touch's Mobile Dial Code (MDC) programs make mobile easy for brands, consumers and carriers. The simplicity of dialing a # plus a 3 to 6 digit branded telephone number has resulted in high response and download conversion rates. A large percentage of MDC consumers are first time data users, demonstrating how simple it is to deliver mobile data and campaigns through these MDC programs while also opening up a new market outside of Short Message Service (SMS).
Our MDC programs are a developing revenue source. The Company initially developed software applications utilized by end users in downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless communication devices. The Company has transitioned to a transaction based revenue model facilitating mobile commerce and advertising using our Enhanced Services Platform. The Company generates revenue from each voice call, data transmission, advertisement and mobile payment transaction that the platform enables.
Recently developed programs involve campaigns providing value added services to traditional retail customers; like notifying pharmacy customers that a prescription is ready for pick up and alerting customers to special product deals. We are also developing mobile couponing and other mobile payment services to address a broader market application of mobile data services.
Our focus of operations for the next 12-month period will be to develop our retail messaging business segment and focusing on growing operations in other product categories including retail to generate revenues. We intend to use profits from operations to maintain and grow each product category. We will continue our efforts to raise additional capital to maintain existing and generate expanded operations.

The terms of the warrant issued to our special advisor causes us to treat the warrant as a derivative financial instrument pursuant to ASC Topic 815, formerly EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock. We value the warrant using the Black-Sholes Option Model. The fair value of the warrant liability increased at June 30, 2010 by $11,842,600, resulting in an increase in our derivative liability and the charge to operations.
Revenues |
Revenues for the three month period ending June 30, 2010 were $131,451, resulting in a slight decrease from revenues of $133,866 for the comparable period in 2009. The revenue decrease in the three month period ended June 30, 2010 from the comparative period in 2009 was a result of the termination of our services to Telegence and Lavalife. Revenue increased 22.6% from the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2010 as our new programs began to ramp up. Our top three customers accounted for 86% of our revenues versus 83% in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Results of Operations for the Nine -Months Ended June 30, 2010 and, 2009
The Company reported a net loss of $16,943,810 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a loss from operations for the nine-months ended June 30, 2009 of $7,584,799, an increase in 2010 of $9,359,011. The significant cause in our increase in our net loss in 2010 compared to 2009 pertains to the change in the fair value of our warrant liability of a loss in 2010 of ($10,660,100) compared to a gain in 2009 of $9,631,629.
Our loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $5,728,314 as compared to $16,972,020 during the same nine month period in the prior year. Of the $5,728,314 operating loss we incurred in 2010, $1,152,625 pertains to stock based compensation and $1,888,987 pertains to the loss on the settlement of debt and noted payable. Of the $16,972,020 operating loss we incurred in 2009, $5,308,012 pertains to our research and development costs and $9,221,002 pertain to stock based compensation. Our loss from operations in 2010 excluding stock based compensation and settlement of debt and notes payable amounted to $2,686,702. Our loss from operations in 2009 excluding research and development costs and stock based compensation amounted to $2,443,006.
We had decreased royalties and application costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same nine-month period in 2009 of $205,408, a 32.06% decrease ($435,207 in 2010 compared to $640,615 in 2009). This decrease was significantly caused by a reduction in our fixed applications costs.
Revenues |
Revenues for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2010 were $265,546, resulting in a decrease of 65.77% over revenues of $775,760 for the comparable period in 2009. The revenue decrease in the nine-month period ended June 30, 2010 from the comparative period in 2009 was a result of the termination of our services to Telegence and Lavalife.
Changes in Assets and Liabilities |
At June 30, 2010, we had total assets of $7,009,622 and total liabilities of $17,074,072; comparably, at June 30, 2009, we had total assets of $6,342,993 and total liabilities of $9,754,309. Of the total assets at June 30, 2009, $4,610,501 pertains to the unamortized portion of the fair value of the warrants issued to our special advisor that was classified to prepaid expense. We have amortized the fair value of the warrant over the initial one year term of the consulting agreement. Total assets at June 30, 2009, excluding the prepaid consulting amounts to $1,732,492, which is $5,277,130 less than our total assets in June 30, 2010 of $7,009,622. The difference is principally made of an increase in our cash balance of $4,937,636 and an increase in our patents and patent applications costs of $1,021,963.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC. |
Of the total liabilities at June 30, 2010 of $17,074,072, $15,372,500 pertains to the derivative liability of the above indicated warrant. Of the total liabilities at June 30, 2009 of $9,754,309, $4,199,875 pertains to the derivative liability of the above indicated warrant. Total liabilities at June 30, 2010 and 2009 excluding the derivative warrant liabilities totaled $1,701,572 and $5,554,434, respectively. The decrease in total liabilities in 2010 over 2009 is primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,103,894, decrease in accrued compensation of $158,650, decrease in amount we owed on related party and third party debt of $2,441,373 and a decrease in convertible debentures of $720,115.
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
During the nine-month period ending June 30, 2010 cash used in operating activities totaled $3,150,381; cash used in investing activities totaled $1,305,215, primarily for the purchase of capitalized software development costs of $360,495 and for the purchase of patent and patent application costs of $904,720; cash provided by financing activities totaled $9,179,462 primarily from net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock and a convertible note. We had an overall net increase in cash for the nine month period in 2010 of $4,723,866; where the beginning balance for the period was $259,558 and the cash balance at the end of the period was $4,983,424. During the nine-month period ending June 30, 2009 cash used in operating activities totaled $1,506,039; cash used in investing activities totaled $540,953, primarily for purchase of capitalized software development costs of $521,171. During the nine-month period ending June 30, 2009 we received $1,917,719 in cash provided by financing activities including proceeds from convertible debt and other notes payable of $1,250,000. The resultant overall net decrease in cash for the period was $129,273; where the beginning balance for the period was $175,061, the cash balance at the end of the period was $45,788.
Historically, our operations have been funded through loans from our Founder/CEO Anthony Macaluso, loans from third parties, and proceeds from the issuance of our shares of common stock. We are not yet generating sufficient revenue to fully pay for our operations. We currently have sufficient cash on hand from financing activities and do not expect to experience cash flow difficulties in the next 12 month period. Although no assurances can be given, we believe that our cash flow deficit will improve as revenues and sales have increased and continue to increase from our current programs. These programs are experiencing substantially increasing demand from end users as they continue to roll out programs we have had in development and implementation with them for an extended period.
We have been able to secure significant financing during the period and have resolved our significant debt obligations with cash or equity. Although no assurances can be given, we believe that we may be able to secure additional equity and/or debt financing in the future if needed.
Our near term cash requirements are anticipated to be offset from cash reserves obtained from recent financing activities. Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing and issuance of common stock for cash and services.
Over the next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations and planned expansion.
Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, diversify our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities.
