(the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included.

This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended October 31, 2012.
NOTE 2: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
On October 9, 2012 RealBiz Holdings, Inc. (RealBiz) n.k.a. Realbiz Media Group, Inc., formerly a private entity, was party to two transactions. In the first transaction shares of its common stock were acquired by an unrelated public company, Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (the Parent). This transaction was accounted for by the Parent as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the fair value adjustments were "pushed down" to RealBiz's books in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J "New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances. In the second transaction RealBiz entered into a reverse acquisition transaction with another public company, Webdigs, Inc. (Webdigs) whereby Webdigs acquired 100% of RealBiz in exchange for Webdigs issuing a voting preferred stock to the Parent giving the Parent control over Webdigs. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of RealBiz. Webdigs then changed its name to Realbiz Media Group, Inc.
The chronological historical events leading to the above transactions are as follows:
On August 8, 2012, Next 1 Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Next 1”) together with its subsidiary Next One Realty (the trade name for Next 1’s wholly owned subsidiary Attaché Travel International, Inc.) entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Acknew Purchase Agreement”) with Acknew Investments Inc. (“Acknew”) and RealBiz Holdings Inc. Under the Acknew Purchase Agreement, Next 1 had agreed to acquire from Acknew common shares of RealBiz Holdings, Inc. representing approximately an 85% ownership interest in RealBiz Holdings, Inc. RealBiz Holdings Inc. is the parent corporation of RealBiz 360, Inc. and RealBiz 360 Enterprise (Canada), Inc. (together referred to as “RealBiz”).
Pursuant to the Acknew Purchase Agreement, Next 1 and Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs” or the “Company”) would consummate a share exchange transaction contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 5, 2012 (“Share Exchange Agreement”) by and between Next 1 and Webdigs. In that contemplated share exchange transaction, Next 1 would receive a controlling interest in Webdigs through its receipt of approximately 93 million shares of newly designated preferred stock representing approximately 92% of the total outstanding capital stock of Webdigs immediately after the transaction. In exchange, Next 1 would transfer its entire share ownership in Attaché Travel International, Inc. (Next One Realty) to Webdigs.
On October 9, 2012, Webdigs and Next 1 completed the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Webdigs received all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc. (“Attaché”). In exchange for Webdigs’s receipt of the Attaché shares from Next 1, Webdigs issued to Next 1 a total of 93 million shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (our “Series A Stock”). The exchange of Attaché shares in exchange for the Series A Stock of Webdigs is referred to as the “Exchange Transaction.”
As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, the Company changed its name from “Webdigs, Inc.” to “RealBiz Media Group, Inc.” on October 9, 2012, by engaging in a short-form parent-subsidiary merger in the State of Delaware.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended July 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 2: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Nature of Business
We are engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. We currently generate revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. We have three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs); (ii) our TV media contracts (Extraordinary Vacation Homes/ Third home) division; and (iii) our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group (Realbiz 360). The cornerstone of all three divisions is our proprietary technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music. We provide video, search and purchase capabilities on multiple platform dynamics for web, mobile, interactivity on TV and Video On Demand. Once a video created using our proprietary technology, these home listing videos are automatically distributed to multiple media platforms (Television, broadband, web and mobile) for consumer viewing.
A more detailed description of our three sources of revenue is set forth below:
| 1. | Our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media Group allows real estate agents to have a video created of their customer’s homes and then posted on television, over 200 real estate websites, You Tube, and mobile applications for a monthly fee of $89. The Company currently works with over 20,000 agents monthly. Though photos and virtual tours are listed as highly important on the home buyer’s lists, the astonishing growth of YouTube and Social Media fueled by the change in consumer demographics has left the Real Estate Industry scrambling to keep up. Our direct feed services into listing databases provide for the automated creation and syndication of Virtual Tours and YouTube Videos posted directly to YouTube Channels and promoted on Social Networks. These solutions continue to support our Agent/Broker revenue base through setup and monthly recurring fees. Due to the broad media exposure of highly targeted consumers, we believe that we will also be able to generate revenue from pre-roll/post-roll advertising for televisions, lead generation fees, banner ads and cross market advertising promotions, however to date our revenue from this division has been solely derived from the monthly fee paid to us by real estate agents. All of the Company’s revenue is currently derived from this division |
| | |
| 2. | Through our Realtor.com Partnership we have expanded our home tour networks to include Video Portal, Widget and Mobile applications. We currently operate an INTERACTIVE VOD Network for Real Estate in conjunction with our partner Realtor.com. The network is branded under the name of Home Tour Network and is carried on Cox Communications and Comcast stations. In late May 2012, we signed a multiyear partnership with Realtor.com that included agreements to rebrand the network to “Realtor.com channel” and expand the network into 55 million households. Additionally we have been commissioned to develop a major real estate web portal and enhanced Widget/Microvideo app platforms to work in conjunction with Realtor.com and other major real estate brokerage groups. |
| | |
| 3. | Our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs) can derive revenue from its licensed broker that engage in traditional real estate sales We have participating brokers licensed in 38 states and believe that this division is positioned to take advantage of the improving real estate market. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended July 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 2: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 include the operations of Webdigs, Inc., which includes the dormant wholly owned subsidiaries of Home Equity Advisors, LLC, and Credit Garage, LLC from the recapitalization date of October 9, 2012, and the historical operations of RealBiz Media Group, Inc, which includes its subsidiaries RealBiz 360 Enterprise (Canada), Inc. and RealBiz 360, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
On May 17, 2012, the Company effected a 1 for 200 reverse stock split. All share and per share information in the consolidated financial statements presented has been retrospectively adjusted for the split.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates are used in accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. The Company recognizes accounts receivable for amounts uncollected from the credit card service provider at the end of the accounting period. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.
Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
| 1. | Significant underperformance to expected historical or projected future operating results; |
| 2. | Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and |
| 3. | Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount book value exceeds fair value. The Company measures fair value based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended July 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Convertible Debt Instruments
The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and loans payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected fee for services yet to be delivered.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes costs attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as credit card fees, sales commission to business partners, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black- Scholes option pricing model.
In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss) include items such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities. For the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, the accumulated comprehensive gain was $31,612 and $14,362, respectively.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed in the same manner, but also considers the effect of common stock shares underlying the following:
| | July 31, 2013 | | July 31, 2012 | | ||
Common stock options | | | 1,000 | | | 4,000 | |
Common stock warrants | | | 1,571,000 | | | 1,000 | |
Convertible note | | | 4,033,000 | | | - | |
All of the common shares underlying the stock options and warrants above were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively because their effects were considered anti-dilutive.
Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are related to the real estate industry and its prospects for success are tied indirectly to interest rates and the general housing and business climates in the United States.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 ("ASU 2012-04"). The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred net losses of $1,439,624 and $742,111 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. At July 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,618,378 and an accumulated deficit of $7,936,798. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of common stock and or through the issuance of debt instruments. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.
NOTE 4: INTANGIBLE ASSETS

General Overview
On October 9, 2012 RealBiz Holdings, Inc. (RealBiz) n.k.a. Realbiz Media Group, Inc., formerly a private entity, was party to two transactions. In the first transaction shares of its common stock were acquired by an unrelated public company, Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (the Parent). This transaction was accounted for by the Parent as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the fair value adjustments were "pushed down" to RealBiz's books in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J "New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances. In the second transaction RealBiz entered into a reverse acquisition transaction with another public company, Webdigs, Inc. (Webdigs) whereby Webdigs acquired 100% of RealBiz in exchange for Webdigs issuing a voting preferred stock to the Parent giving the Parent control over Webdigs. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of RealBiz. Webdigs then changed its name to Realbiz Media Group, Inc.
The chronological historical events leading to the above transactions are as follows:
On August 8, 2012, Next 1 Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Next 1”) together with its subsidiary Next One Realty (the trade name for Next 1’s wholly owned subsidiary Attaché Travel International, Inc.) entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Acknew Purchase Agreement”) with Acknew Investments Inc. (“Acknew”) and RealBiz Holdings Inc. Under the Acknew Purchase Agreement, Next 1 had agreed to acquire from Acknew common shares of RealBiz Holdings, Inc. representing approximately an 85% ownership interest in RealBiz Holdings, Inc. RealBiz Holdings Inc. is the parent corporation of RealBiz 360, Inc. and RealBiz 360 Enterprise (Canada), Inc. (together referred to as “RealBiz”).
Pursuant to the Acknew Purchase Agreement, Next 1 and Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs” or the “Company”) would consummate a share exchange transaction contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 5, 2012 (“Share Exchange Agreement”) by and between Next 1 and Webdigs. In that contemplated share exchange transaction, Next 1 would receive a controlling interest in Webdigs through its receipt of approximately 93 million shares of newly designated preferred stock representing approximately 92% of the total outstanding capital stock of Webdigs immediately after the transaction. In exchange, Next 1 would transfer its entire share ownership in Attaché Travel International, Inc. (Next One Realty) to Webdigs.
On October 9, 2012, Webdigs and Next 1 completed the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Webdigs received all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc. (“Attaché”). In exchange for Webdigs’s receipt of the Attaché shares from Next 1, Webdigs issued to Next 1 a total of 93 million shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (our “Series A Stock”). The exchange of Attaché shares in exchange for the Series A Stock of Webdigs is referred to as the “Exchange Transaction.”
As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, the Company changed its name from “Webdigs, Inc.” to “RealBiz Media Group, Inc.” on October 9, 2012, by engaging in a short-form parent-subsidiary merger in the State of Delaware.
3
As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, our Company changed its name from “Webdigs, Inc.” to “RealBiz Media Group, Inc.” on October 3, 2012, by engaging in a short-form parent-subsidiary merger in the State of Delaware.
As a result of the Exchange Transaction and the conversion of liabilities referred to above, the shareholders of our Company before the Exchange Transaction retained approximately 365,176 shares of common stock (after giving effect to a reverse split effected as of May 3, 2012), representing approximately .364% of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (both common and preferred) immediately after the Exchange Transaction. Unless otherwise indicated, all common share figures set forth in this Current Report are on a post-split basis.
Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
For the three months ended July 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2012
Revenues
Our total revenues decreased 2.1% to $272,853 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $278,606 for the three months ended July 31, 2012, a decrease of $5,753. The decrease is due to decreased real estate advertising revenue from virtual tours due to drop in available listings.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenues decreased 40.4% to $15,538 for three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $26,054 for the three months ended July 31, 2012, a decrease of $10,516. The decrease in costs was primarily associated with the Company’s decrease in costs associated with the decrease in virtual tours due to drop in available listings.
Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses increased 65.8% or $339,466 to $855,066 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $515,600 for the three months ended July 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses due to the amortization of intangible assets offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income increased to $96 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to a other expense of $78,682 for three months ended July 31, 2012.
Net Loss
Net loss increased 74.9% to $597,655 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to net loss of $341,730 for the three months end July 31, 2012, an increase in loss of $255,925 primarily due to the increased amortization of intangible costs.
4
For the nine months ended July 31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2012
Revenues
Our total revenues decreased 3.6% to $864,022 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $896,226 for the nine months ended July 31, 2012, a decrease of $32,204. The decrease is due to reduced real estate advertising revenue from virtual tours due to drop in available listings.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenues decreased 35.7% to $51,157 for nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $79,531 for the nine months ended July 31, 2012, a decrease of $28,374. The decrease in costs was primarily associated with the Company’s decrease in costs associated with the decrease in virtual tours due to drop in available listings in a tough real estate environment.
Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses increased 76.3% or $1,140,144 to $2,634,308 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $1,494,164 for the nine months ended July 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses due to the amortization of intangible assets offset by a decrease in selling and promotions expense.
Other Income (Expense)
Gain on forgiveness of notes payable and accrued liabilities increased to $384,304 to account for expenses related to previous officers for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to a loss of $960 for nine months ended July 31, 2012.
Net Loss
Net loss increased 94.0% to $1,439,624 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to net loss of $742,111 for the nine months end July 31, 2012, an increase in loss of $697,513 primarily due to increased amortization of intangible costs.
Assets and Employees; Research and Development
We do not currently anticipate purchasing any equipment or other assets in the near term, however, as we expand operations, we will need additional equipment and employees to create and market our products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Anticipated Financing Needs
At July 31, 2013, the Company had $19,700 cash on-hand, a decrease of $16,708 from $36,408 at the end of fiscal 2012. The decrease in cash was due primarily to operating expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities was $587,564 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, an increase of $501,500 from $86,064 used during the nine months ended July 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to additional amortization partially offset by gain on forgiveness of liabilities and additional net loss.
We have financed our operations since inception primarily through proceeds from equity financings and revenue derived from operations. During the nine months ended July 2013, we raised $802,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants. Our continued operations will primarily depend on our ability to raise additional capital from various sources including equity and debt financings, as well as our revenue derived from operations. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs or will be on favorable terms. Based on our current plans, we believe that our cash provided from the above sources will be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned operating needs for at least the next 12 months.
We have based our estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our shares or debt and other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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, and related disclosures. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant estimates are determining some of the inputs for our stock option fair value calculation and assessing the valuation allowance for income taxes.
We consider the following accounting policies to be those most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition:
Revenue Recognition. Real estate brokerage revenues were recognized at the closing of a real estate transaction. Fees due to third party real estate agents or clients are accrued at the time of closing and treated as an offset to gross revenues.
Share-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 includes compensation cost for restricted stock awards and stock options. The Company uses the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted as of the grant date.
Accounts Receivable. The Company reviews the outstanding receivables on a monthly basis and receivables are considered past due when payment has not been received 30 days after a transaction closes. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to receivables. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers. At July 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company considers its accounts receivable to be fully collectible and therefore, has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Intangible Assets.
On October 9, 2012, the Company entered a Share Exchange Agreement (Note 1). The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Company is the acquiree for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company applied push-down accounting and has recorded the intangible asset as described herein.
The Company is in review of the facts and circumstances surrounding events to determine if the carrying amount of held-and-used identifiable amortized intangibles acquired during the October 2012 acquisition may be reallocated under the provisions of ASC 350 and ASC 805. The Company has until October 2013 (12 months) to determine the final allocations and it is studying a reallocation with more emphasis on “customer relationships and customer lists”. No amortization has been calculated based on the original allocations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-05 Presentation of comprehensive income
ASU 2011-05 was the result of a joint project with the IASB and amends the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the new guidance now requires entities to present all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements.
All entities that report OCI items will be impacted by the changes in this ASU. The components of OCI have not changed, nor has the guidance on when OCI items are reclassified to net income; however, the amendments require entities to present all reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the statement of comprehensive income.
The amendments to ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, included in ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income , are effective for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (that is, the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 for calendar-year entities) for public entities and for interim and annual periods thereafter. The amended guidance must be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this recently issued accounting pronouncement to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation and taking into account that certain material weaknesses existed as of July 31, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared with particular attention to the material weaknesses previously disclosed. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal controls that continue to exist as of July 31, 2013, we have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as required for interim financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2013, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the material weaknesses in internal control as described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012 have not been remediated. Due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters and the expenses associated with increasing the number of employees to remediate the disclosure control and procedure material weaknesses that have been identified, the Company continued to operate without changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q while continuing to seek the expertise its needs to remediate the material weaknesses.
