PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
General
 
Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Touchpoint Metrics”) was incorporated in the State of California on December 14, 2001. We are a customer experience management solutions company providing Touchpoint Mapping ® , an on-demand (“cloud based”) suite of customer experience software and related services designed to help organizations improve customer experiences, increase customer loyalty, reduce costs and increase revenue.
 
We believe that delivering better customer experiences is a powerful, sustainable way for any organization to differentiate from their competition.  We are engaged in the business of developing and delivering technology-enabled products, value-added and professional services that help large, medium and small organizations to do this by improving their customer experience management capabilities. Our technology enables an organization’s personnel to leverage a common application to see where and how to improve their customers’ experiences across multiple channels and touchpoints, including web, sales, marketing, contact center, social, mobile, physical locations and others.
 
Additionally, the on-demand delivery approach, which includes hosted data, on-demand software and services in the “cloud”, has gained widespread acceptance with corporate IT departments as well as business customers. As a result, we have been able to eliminate much of the complexity associated with designing, maintaining and upgrading software, compared to on premise software solutions. This makes it easier to and less expensive by historical standards to scale growth and control product development. Our value-added and professional services include analysis and review of client data gathered through our application, customer experience training, strategy consulting and business process optimization, and are directed toward increasing our customers’ adoption of our products and services, helping maximize their return on investment, and improving our customers’ efficiency.
 
We maintain our primary business address at 201 Spear Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA 94105. Our telephone number is (855) 938-8100.  Our registered agent for service of process is National Registered Agents, Inc.  Our web address is http://www.touchpointmetrics.com. The inclusion of our internet address in this report does not include or incorporate by reference into this report any information contained on, or accessible through, our website. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,current reports on Form 8-K, amendments to those reports and other Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, filings are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Our common stock trades on OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol TPOI.
 
Products and Services
 
Customer experience is simply “how customers perceive their interactions with a company.” Customer experience management is a series of disciplines, methodologies and processes used to comprehensively understand, plan, measure and manage a customer’s experiences, with the goal of improving customer perceptions. A majority of corporate executives have said that customer experience management is an important part of their organization’s strategic agenda, and that it is critical to their future success.  While there are multiple reasons for this, among the most widely recognized is the ability of an improved customer experience to help an organization increase customer loyalty, better compete in otherwise commoditized businesses, and drive greater revenue.
 
While the customer experience management ecosystem is broad and complex, our software solutions are primarily focused on the needs of large, medium and small organizations interested in voice-of-the-customer insights, and a straightforward way to measure and improve customer experience over time. By gathering and analyzing customer experience data, our solutions help companies better understand both the positive and negative customer perceptions of customer experience and the specific interactions that drive these perceptions.

Touchpoint Mapping® On-Demand
 
Our current product is called Touchpoint Mapping ® On-Demand. Pricing of Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand varies based on breadth of insights sought, number of employees, number of customers and customer segments, frequency of insights gathered and other variables.
 
Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand is a research-based software solution designed to improve customer experience, brand, and loyalty. It is meant to be a comprehensive customer experience solution for customer-centric organizations to measure and gather customer data across all their touchpoints, channels and interactions with their customers. Data is analyzed and can be displayed across multiple axes including customer segments, location, time and many other variables of interest to personnel within an organization.
 
Our software solution gives companies the ability to pinpoint which specific touchpoints are meeting customer wants and needs and which are not, by measuring the gap between customer expectations and the actual customer experience they receive. In addition to customer data, we can collect data from an organizations employees to identify any gaps between customer and employee perceptions of experience, and can collect data from prospective and competitors’ customers to provide insight on the competitive market. Our solution also provides companies with the ability to coordinate disparate resources across the organization to develop, execute and manage their brand and customer experience strategies.
 
Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand is delivered through a cloud-based platform. The platform, accessible from our client portal, provides access to survey deployment, gives the ability to manage customer data and facilitates access to customer-driven business intelligence (BI) by displaying data in a series of online dashboards.  Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand includes and integrates three primary measurement areas, including customer experience, brand and loyalty, which are delivered through our cloud platform as illustrated below.


Customer Experience Mapping
 
Customer Experience Mapping measures customer experience in three areas. The first is the degree to which individual customer interactions or touchpoints meet customer wants. The second is a measure of the overall and most recent customer experiences. And the third is a measure of the customer experience across different stages of the customer relationships lifecycle.
 
Brand Mapping
 
Brand Mapping measure brand perceptions in four areas. The first is area the degree to which the brand meets the emotional needs of customers. The second is overall awareness of an organization in the competitive market. The third is how an organization is perceived by customers in the context of its competitors. And the fourth is the degree to which brand drives engagement with an organization.

Loyalty Mapping ®
 
Loyalty Mapping measures customer loyalty in four areas.  The first area is through a loyalty-based customer segmentation model, segmenting customers into four groups based on degree of loyalty. The second is through loyalty metrics, such as CSAT and NPS ® , or other loyalty metrics an organization may wish to assess. The third area is the identification of loyalty drivers, which can include brand, individual touchpoints and other areas such as channel or overall experience. The last area is the identification of dissatisfiers, which are aspects of the brand and the experience responsible for creating customer dissatisfaction.
 
Professional Services
 
Our Client Services Managers drive product adoption and value by working with customers over time to measure key performance indicators, leverage best practices, and improve customer experience, brand and customer loyalty. We offer value-added and professional services that include custom data analysis, roadmap development, implementation planning and customer experience training, among other services.
 
Customer experience consulting services are offered primarily through our consulting services group, MCorp, which is a dba of the Company. MCorp services include customer experience management consulting in the areas of strategy development, planning, education, training and best practices, and includes the articulation of customer-centric strategies and implementation roadmaps in support of these strategies. Our software-enabled services leverage the analytical frameworks of, and in most cases the data gathered through, Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand ® , with a particular focus on analytical solutions in support of customer experience improvement.
 
Our Strategy
 
In mid-2010, we made a decision to shift the strategic focus of our business from a primary focus on professional services to a primary focus on on-demand software solutions and software-enabled services.
 
The majority of the firm’s resources in the year 2011 were spent codifying and systematizing the analytical and monitoring functionality of Touchpoint Mapping in preparation for product development.
 
In 2012 we established technological feasibility for our product, bringing our cloud-based software, Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand, to a broader market in 2013. While professional services continue to represent a majority of our revenue, they continue to migrate to a secondary focus of the company.
 
We believe that a combination of growing market demand for customer experience management solutions and increasing market adoption of on-demand, cloud-based software will help to pave the way for future growth of our company through a distributed, cloud-based technology solution delivered through a planned global partner and reseller distribution channel.
 
Our ability to achieve our objectives will stem from our ability to successfully commercialize Touchpoint Mapping ® On-Demand, the business intelligence which we derive as a result, and the licensing of our systems as we continue to develop new products and services that help companies better serve their customers.
 
Competition
 
The market for customer experience management solutions is highly competitive and increasingly fragmented. It is subject to rapidly changing technology, shifting organizational priorities and requirements, frequent introductions of new products and services, and increased marketing activities of other industry participants.
 
Multiple competitors exist in the overlapping areas of on-demand and traditional marketing research, customer relationship management (CRM) software, management consulting and customer experience management consulting. For example, many CRM software companies are beginning to include customer experience-specific insights as adjunct capabilities to their existing platforms, and others have rebranded their existing CRM software or customer satisfaction research software as customer experience software, which has the potential to create unforeseen competitive barriers and market confusion.
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 6 -


 
 
 
Many of our current and potential competitors have a larger market presence, greater name recognition, access to more potential customers and substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing, management, support and other resources than we have. As a result, many of our competitors are likely able to respond more quickly than we can to new or changing opportunities and technologies, and may devote greater resources to the marketing, promotion and sale of their products than we can.
 
Given the growth of customer experience management and on-demand software, there are likely many other competitors we have not identified. As a result, we expect that new competitors will continue to enter the on demand customer experience software market with competing products as the market continues to develop and mature. It is possible if not likely that these new competitors could rapidly acquire significant market share.
 
There are many potential unforeseen and significant market and competitive risks associated with launching any new product in any market. It is our expectation that numerous unforeseen challenges will be encountered as we continue to develop, market and sell our products and services. We cannot assure you that that we will be able to compete successfully against current or potential competitors, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
 
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
 
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as bid and offer quotes, a dealers spread and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers’ duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers’ rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
Overview
 
We are a customer experience management solutions company providing Touchpoint Mapping ® , an on-demand (“cloud based”) suite of customer experience software and related services designed to help organizations improve customer experiences, increase customer loyalty, reduce costs and increase revenue.
 
We believe that delivering better customer experiences is a powerful, sustainable way for any organization to differentiate from their competition.  We are engaged in the business of developing and delivering technology-enabled products and services that help large, medium and small organizations to do this by improving their customer experience management capabilities.
 
Our product, Touchpoint Mapping ® On-Demand, is a research-based software solution designed to be a comprehensive customer experience solution for customer-centric organizations to measure and gather customer data across all their touchpoints, channels and interactions with their customers. It enables an organization’s
 
 

 
 
 
- 10 -


 
 
personnel to leverage a common application to see where and how to improve brand and customer loyalty, and their customers’ experiences across multiple channels and touchpoints, including web, sales, marketing, contact center, social, mobile, physical locations and others.
 
Development is ongoing, as Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand is refined and improved based on customer feedback, and as it is customized for specific organizations and industry sectors. The services delivered with Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand may include consulting and additional research services, as well as services such as assessment, integration, implementation and additional offline analysis and reporting of data.
 
Although we began sales and marketing activities for Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand in Q4 2012, we did not offer it to a broader market until late 2013. We cannot predict the timing, nor probability, of generating material sales revenue from the product as we continue to build our sales and marketing team to identify, develop, and close sales opportunities.  As of this filing, we have yet to engage the necessary sales and marketing staff to develop and execute material product sales opportunities, and currently lack sufficient resources to market and sell our products in the manner which we believe is required to achieve our product sales and revenue growth objectives.
 
Sources of Revenue
 
Our revenue consisted primarily of professional and software-enabled consulting services, product sales and other revenues in 2013 and 2012. Consulting services include customer experience management consulting in the areas of strategy development, planning, education, training and best practices, and includes the articulation of customer-centric strategies and implementation roadmaps in support of these strategies. Product revenue is from productized and software-enabled service sales not elsewhere classified, while other revenue includes reimbursement of related travel costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
 
While our plan of operations is based on migrating the majority of our service revenue from these categories to recurring SaaS subscription fees, we anticipate that fees for professional and software-enabled consulting services will remain a significant revenue source in the near future. As of December 31, 2013, we have successfully delivered certain features and functionality of our software product, Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand, to several clients. However, we have not obtained material stand-alone sales commitments for Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand, and do not anticipate being able to do so until we engage the necessary sales and marketing staff to develop and execute product sales opportunities.
 
Should we successfully launch Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand as a stand-alone software product, we anticipate that subscription agreements and related professional services associated with delivering our software solutions will become a source of significant revenue. Subscriptions and associated professional services pricing will be based upon our gross margin objectives, growth strategies and the specific needs of our clients’ organizations, measured primarily by the following metrics: breadth of insights sought, number of employees, number of customers and customer segments, frequency of insights gathered, and other variables.
 
We anticipate that subscription agreements for our software solutions will be offered as monthly term agreements which contain a minimum commitment period of at least 12 months, and which include related setup, upgrades, hosting and support. Professional services will likely include consulting fees related to implementation, customization, configuration, training and other value added services.
 
Based on data gathered during the implementation stage of on-demand software and software-enabled services engagements, , we believe that the average time it will take our clients from placing an order to live deployment of our products is between 30 and 45 days. We plan to invoice clients upon inception of subscription agreements for setup and total subscription fees contracted over the term of the agreements, with payment due within 30 days. Professional services related to the subscription agreements will be invoiced at the inception of the professional services agreement at one-third or fifty percent of total fees, with the balance of payments due over the duration of the contract as project milestones are met. Amounts invoiced will be recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Our costs of revenue and operating expenses are detailed at the sub-category level in our Income Statements. And while the financial results for these categories are further explained in the Results of Operations section below, a general description of these categories follows:
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of expenses directly related to providing professional and consulting services. Those expenses include contract labor, third-party services and subscriptions, and materials and travel expenses related to providing professional services to our clients.
 
As certain features of Touchpoint Mapping® On-Demand were made available for general release in 2013, costs of goods also included product-related hosting and monitoring costs, licenses for products embedded in the application, amortization of capitalized software development costs, related sales commissions, service support, account management and credit card fees, as applicable.
 
Should our client base grow, we intend to continue to invest additional resources in our hosting, technical support and professional services capabilities, as well as our utilization of third-party licensed software. We expect our professional services costs to increase in absolute dollars as we increase our overall revenue, but expect that professional services as a percentage of total revenue will decrease as we continue to shift  our business towards sales of on-demand software solutions and software-enabled services. Because cost as a percentage of revenue is higher for professional services revenue than for software product sales revenue, a decrease in professional services as a percentage of total revenue will likely increase gross profit as a percentage of total revenue.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses for management, client delivery, finance and accounting, and sales personnel. Expenses also include contract services, marketing and promotion, professional fees, software license fee expenses, administrative costs, insurance, rent and a portion of travel expenses and other overhead.
 
Sales and marketing expenses are currently reflected in salaries and wages, contract labor, marketing and promotion, and other related overhead expense categories. While we have not yet recognized material commissionable sales for Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand, we plan to expense product sales commissions through cost of goods sold. Since we will be recognizing revenue over the terms of the subscriptions or professional services engagements, we expect to experience a delay between increases in selling and marketing expenses and the recognition of revenue. We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of expenses as we hire sales and additional marketing personnel and increase the level of marketing activities.
 
We expect that total general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel in connection with the growth of our business. In addition to increases in sales and marketing and research and development expenses, we anticipate we will also incur additional employee salaries and related expenses, professional service fees and insurance costs related to the growth of our business and operations to meet the requirements of a public company.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, income taxes, stock-based compensation, research and development costs and the impairment of long-lived assets, have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We enter into arrangements with multiple-deliverables that generally include nonrefundable setup fees, subscription fees, professional services and consulting fees. We account for multiple-element arrangements by following ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.
 
Under the accounting guidance, in order to treat deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. To date, we have concluded that subscription services and the associated nonrefundable setup fees do not have standalone value as such services are not sold separately, while professional services and consulting fees included in multiple-deliverable arrangements executed have standalone value as they are often sold separately and will have value to the customer on a standalone basis.
 
Under the accounting guidance, when multiple-deliverables included in an arrangement are separated into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units based on a relative selling price hierarchy. We determine the relative selling price for a deliverable based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available; and our best estimate of selling price (“BESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Due to the introduction of the new product, and its related services, and due to differences in our service offerings compared to other parties and the lack of availability of relevant third-party pricing information, we have determined that VSOE and TPE are not practical alternatives. Therefore, the company uses BESP to determine selling price of significant deliverables.
 
We determine BESP by considering our overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include our discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, the customer demographic and our market strategy. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by management, taking into consideration our market strategy. As our market strategy evolves, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative selling prices, including BESP.
 
Revenue recognition requires judgment, including whether the arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether VSOE or TPE of fair value exists for those elements. A portion of revenue may be recorded as unearned due to undelivered elements. Changes to the elements in a software arrangement, the ability to identify VSOE, TPE or BSEP for those elements, and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. Judgment is also required to assess whether future releases of certain software represent new products or upgrades and enhancements to existing products. Variations in the actual outcome of these variables could materially impact our financial statements.
 
Income Taxes
 
The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Accounting literature provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date using a Black-Scholes valuation model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment and assumptions, including expected volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be impacted.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
We capitalize the software development costs incurred once planning is completed and technological feasibility is established. Costs associated with planning activities, training, maintenance and all other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. Our policy provides for the capitalization of certain external direct costs of materials and services associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software and certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with the computer software development projects. The capitalized costs are included in other assets on our balance sheets. Straight-line amortization of these costs over the estimated useful life, which is typically three years, is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. Judgment is required in determining when the application development stage has begun as well as in allocating certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the projects.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related assets. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are considered impaired and an expense, equal to the amount required to reduce the carrying value of the assets to the estimated fair value, is recorded in the statements of operations. Significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows.
 
Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts. Impairment charges could materially decrease our future net income and result in lower asset values on our balance sheet.

Cost of goods sold increased during the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.  The increase was primarily due to amortization of software development costs, product-related hosting and monitoring costs, and licenses for products embedded in Touchpoint Mapping On-Demand which began in 2013.  In addition, we shifted towards use of higher-cost contractors on our consulting engagements so salaried employees

could focus on marketing and sales of our SaaS product.  Labor costs related to two significant consulting services engagements were higher due to the added labor expenses associated with the use of a third party administrator required by the client, and also contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold.

Contract services decreased during the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a change in payment structure of business development and sales personnel from hourly to commission based.  The decrease in contract services also resulted from a decrease in direct product development contract labor expenses.  Costs expensed in 2013, after certain features of the product were available for general release, related to minor modifications and maintenance activities and were significantly less than costs expensed during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Decreases in contract business development and sales personnel expenses and contract product development expenses were partially offset by increases in contract marketing and consulting services costs incurred during this period.

Other general and administrative costs increased for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 based on the following:
 
·  
An increase of approximately $47,500 in marketing expenses related to lead generation, copywriting, marketing content development, marketing automation, pay-per-click (PPC) management, and market research.
·  
An increase of approximately $33,000 in professional fees as a direct result of the increased use of legal and advisory services related to SEC and SEDAR filings, completion of a private placement of common stock, as well as our application for eligibility to distribute new and secondary offerings.
·  
An increase of approximately $19,600 in insurance premium expenses due to increases in business auto, errors and omission, employee health coverage, and workers compensation premiums.
·  
An increase of approximately $14,000 in third-party administrative costs associated with two consulting services engagements.
·  
An increase of approximately $3,800 in other miscellaneous charges.
·  
A decrease of approximately $34,500 in software license expenses related to costs incurred to establish technological feasibility in the first quarter of 2012.

Other income (expense) decreased $88,194 from the year ended December 31, 2012 to the year ended December 31, 2013.  This decrease was primarily due to the write off of leasehold improvements with a net book value of approximately $62,900, which were written off as the lease term of the subject property had been terminated.  In addition, management charged an impairment of approximately $17,500 to an intangible asset based on management’s yearend assessment of current value.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We measure our liquidity in a variety of ways, including the following:
 
   
December 31, 2013
   
December 31, 2012
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
  $ 653,990     $ 106,999  
Working Capital
  $ 451,830     $ 166,928  
 
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we were able to finance our operations, including capital expenditures for infrastructure, product development and marketing activities through operating activities, private sales of common stock, and cash on hand.   On July 2, 2013 the Company completed a private placement of 2,948,856 restricted shares of common stock.  Gross proceeds from that private placement totaled $1,032,100.
 
In 2012 we were able to finance our operations, including capital expenditures for infrastructure, product development and marketing through operating activities, cash on hand, and additional private sales of common stock. In 2012, we received an aggregate of $595,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of 3,820,000 restricted shares of common stock.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the consolidated financial statements included in this report, for the year ended December 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $715,656, and a net loss of $306,948 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  We have had material operating losses and have not yet created positive cash flows.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to achieve a level of profitability, or raise additional capital through debt financing and/or through sales of common stock.  We cannot provide any assurance that profits from operations will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our working capital needs and service our existing debt, nor that sufficient capital can be raised through debt or equity financing.  The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Anticipated Uses of Cash
 
In 2013, to support the launch our SaaS product, our primary areas of investment were additional product development and support of sales and marketing activities, including sales and marketing staff, advertising services and media, marketing and sales automation software and other related services.
 
In 2014, our primary areas of investment are expected to continue to be ongoing product development and supporting sales and marketing activities, including building our sales and marketing staff, marketing and advertising services, and other related services.  A secondary area of investment will include hiring client support staff to support SaaS product delivery and client relationship management.
 
We currently plan to fund these expenditures with cash flows generated from ongoing operations during this period. We will consider raising capital through debt financing and/or additional sales of common stock if necessary.

Cash Flow
 
Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
 
Operating Activities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we reported negative cash flows from operations of $446,688.  This consisted of our net loss of $715,656 adjusted primarily by a loss on asset disposal of $62,982, depreciation and amortization of $59,072, stock compensation expense of $19,120, impairment of an intangible asset of $17,537, decrease in accounts receivable of $37,269 and an increase in accounts payable of $59,250.
 
The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of invoicing significant clients. At December 30, 2013, one material consulting services invoice was outstanding while two material engagement invoices were outstanding at the beginning of the period.
 
The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to entering services agreements with clients whose third-party administrator’s payment terms to our contractors was approximately 45 days.  Contractor payables remain recorded in accounts payable until the third-party administrator remits payment.  Payment terms for contractors have historically been 30 days or less.  In addition, increased spending due to a shift towards use of higher-cost contractors for consulting engagements also contributed to the increase in accounts payable.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we reported negative cash flows from operations of $351,739. This consisted of our net loss of $306,948 adjusted by the increase in accounts receivable of $51,029 which was primarily due to an increase in total revenues in 2012 over 2011. This increase in revenues and corresponding increase in accounts receivable were a direct result of two consulting services engagements initiated in Q4 of 2012. The net loss was also adjusted by a decrease in accounts payable of $19,387. The decrease in accounts payable was partially offset by an increase in credit card expenses due to costs associated with development of our products.  Depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense increases of $7,730 and $13,347, respectively also offset our net loss.
 
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) during the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 29 days, down from approximately 37 days during the year ended December 31, 2012.  This was a direct result of entering into services agreements with clients whose payment terms more closely matched our historical 30 days.  During 2012, two of our significant clients’ payment terms were 45 days.
 
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $38,421 and $188,371, respectively and primarily consisted of capitalized software development costs.
 
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $1,032,100 and $595,000, respectively and were primarily related to the sale of our restricted common stock.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2013.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
We lease one facility in northern California from Four Kays, under an operating lease that we expect to expire in 2016. We do not have any debt capital lease obligations. As of December 31, 2013, the following table summarizes our contractual obligation under the foregoing lease agreement and the effect such obligation is expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Touchpoint Metrics, Inc.
San Francisco, California
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. (a California corporation) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TOUCHPOINT METRICS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013
 
 
Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Touchpoint Metrics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a for profit corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of California, United States of America on December 14, 2001. The corporation operated as The Innes Group, Inc., dba MCorp Consulting until filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation renaming the company Touchpoint Metrics, Inc., effective October 18, 2011.
 
The Company develops and delivers technology-enabled products and services that improve customer experience management capabilities for corporations. Their focus assists companies who wish to improve business performance by measuring and transforming the ways they interact with customers.
 
The Company services a wide variety of industries and customer size.
 
 
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The financial statements of the Company are presented on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies followed are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader.
 
The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of less than three months that are not reported as investments. While the Company may maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits, they have not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
Portions of the bank deposit accounts are held in Canadian banks on a Canadian and US Dollar basis. The balances in these accounts at times exceed Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. They have not experienced any losses in these accounts.
 
Management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
ASC 820 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 at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair market hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels based on the reliability of the inputs to determine the fair value:
 
 
 
F-6
 
 
 

 
 
- 24 -


 
 
 
Level 1, defined as inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for use when little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the Company’s note payable approximates book value as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
We measure property, plant and equipment, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
Property, Improvements, and Depreciation
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost or estimated historical cost through appraisal. Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs over $1,000 that extend the life of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance are expensed.
 
The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized as other income or expense. Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight line method over the applicable estimated depreciable life as follows:
 
Depreciable Asset Class
Depreciable Life
Real Property Improvements
15-Years
Computer Equipment
5-Years
Furniture and Fixtures
7-Years
Leasehold Improvements
15-Years
Machinery and Equipment
7-Years
 
Software Development Costs
 
Costs for the development and delivery of the SaaS technology are capitalized once planning is completed and technological feasibility is established.  Costs incurred during the operating stage of the software application relating to upgrades and enhancements are capitalized to the extent that they result in the extended life of the product.  All other costs are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized costs include only direct external costs of materials and services as well as compensation and benefits for employees directly associated with the software project.  Such amounts are included in the accompanying balance sheets under the caption “capitalized software development costs.”
 
Intangibles
 
Intangible assets include an online media asset, title and interest in a LinkedIn group, and fully amortized organization costs.  The online media asset is periodically reviewed for impairment indicators and tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss, if any, would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value determined by discounted future cash flows.

Revenue Recognition
 
Products
 
The company has added SaaS (Software as a Service) technology to its offerings. SaaS is a subscription based offering that includes nonrefundable setup fees, subscription fees, professional services, and consulting fees related to implementation, customization, configuration, training, and other value added services. The company accounts for multiple-element arrangements by following ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements , as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements . At the inception of the arrangement, and again as each element is delivered, the company evaluates all deliverables in the offering to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting based on the following criteria: 1) the items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and 2) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or perfor­mance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially in the control of the company.
 
The company determines the relative selling price for a deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available; and best estimate of selling price (“BESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.
 
VSOE. The company determines VSOE based on historical pricing and discounting practices for the specific solution when sold separately. In determining VSOE, it is required that a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. Due to the introduction of new services, the non-refundable set-up fee and the SaaS subscription have not been not historically priced. As a result, VSOE has been used to allocate the selling price of deliverables in limited circumstances.
 
TPE. When VSOE cannot be established for deliverables in multiple element arrangements, the company applies judgment with respect to whether it can establish selling price based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. It has been determined that TPE is not a practical alternative due to differences in service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third-party pricing information.
 
BESP. When the company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, BESP is used to determine selling price of significant deliverables. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the company would transact a sale if the service were sold on a stand-alone basis.  The process for determining BESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE involves management’s judgment. BESP is determined by considering overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of transactions, the customer demographic, and market strategy.  If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the company to consider additional factors, BESPs could change in future periods.
 
The guidance of SEC Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins Topic 13(A)(3)(f) is followed in accounting for nonrefundable setup fees.  Each of the revenue areas relating to the SaaS offering may or may not be sold as part of a sale to a customer, with the exception of the nonrefundable set-up fee and SaaS technology subscription. Each of the items, except for the set-up fee and SaaS technology subscription, can and often are sold separately and will have value to a customer on a standalone basis. The nonrefundable set-up fee and the SaaS subscription are the only two revenue streams that do not exist without each other. The subscription and services provided are essential to the customer receiving the expected benefit of the set-up fee.  Therefore, the set-up fee is earned and recognized as the related services are delivered and performed over the term of the subscription.
 
SaaS subscriptions are sold with three payment options. The subscription can be paid annually, quarterly, or monthly and are all payable prior to services being provided. The company determines fair value for the individual elements in these arrangements as the estimated relative selling price charged for each individual element when sold on a standalone basis.
 
 
F-8
 
 

 
 
- 26 -


 
 
 
As payments are received, the revenue is reported as unearned revenue on the balance sheet and recognized at the end of each monthly period as service is provided.  The company measures and allocates the arrangement consideration to the individual elements based on the relative estimated selling price of each item as sold on a standalone basis.
 
The non-refundable setup fees are recognized over the term of the initial subscription period. The professional services and consulting fees included in the offering follow the same revenue recognition process as the consultation and research services.
 
Subscription agreements provide service-level commitments of 99.5% uptime per period, excluding scheduled maintenance and any unavailability caused by defined circumstances beyond reasonable control. Failure to meet this availability commitment requires a credit to qualifying customers equal to the value of the time unavailable, up to a maximum of one month of subscription fees. Reserves equal to the maximum potential credits are recorded on the balance sheet and are treated as a reduction in revenue. Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use, and excise taxes.
 
Professional Services
 
Revenues are primarily derived from professional and software-enabled consulting services . Engagements normally span a period of 45 to 120 days in duration and may be fixed price or, less commonly, time and materials engagements.
 
The company typically enters into engagements with one of two contracted payment arrangements. The contracts call for a deposit to be made at the time of contract signing and payment as project milestones are achieved, or no deposit is made and payment as project milestones are achieved.
 
For engagements where a deposit is received, the company reports the deposit amount as unearned revenue on the balance sheet. Revenue is recognized and reported as project milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts. The revenue for production and product sales are recognized as incurred.
 
Time and material engagements are not common for the company, but when such an engagement is entered into, contractual terms are arranged that provide for the company to submit periodic invoices to the customer as per the contract terms for the time and materials used during the period for the customer’s benefit. The contracts will generally specify the rate for specific types of functions to be performed.
 
Reimbursed Expenses
 
We classify reimbursed expenses in both other revenues and cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of income.  Other revenue is earned from reimbursable expense revenues that are incidental to the consultation and research efforts. The project related expenses consist of costs incurred by the Company on behalf of the customer. This will generally consist of travel costs or products and services purchased as a convenience for the customer.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.
 
 
 
F-9
 
 

 
 
- 27 -


 
 
 
A full valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its business strategy, we determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to our ability to generate sufficient profits from our business model.
 
 
Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements, (“ASU 2012-04”). This update includes source literature amendments, guidance clarification, reference corrections and relocated guidance affecting a variety of topics in the Codification. The update also includes conforming amendments to the Codification to reflect ASC 820’s fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update that will not have transition guidance are effective upon issuance. The amendments in this update that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01”).  This update clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Company is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 by the Company did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires companies to provide information regarding the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, companies are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the accompanying notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income.  ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2013-02 was adopted January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit in a particular jurisdiction, or a portion thereof, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless the uncertain tax position is not available to reduce, or would not be used to reduce, the NOL or carryforward under the tax law in the same jurisdiction; otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a gross liability and should not be combined with a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Note 5: Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company’s stock-based compensation program was established in 2008. Plan Shares cannot exceed 30% of any outstanding issue or 2,500,000 shares, whichever is the lower amount.
 
All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and have a 10-year term.
 
In order to calculate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used was based on historical volatility of similar sized companies due to lack of historical data of the Company’s stock price.  The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.  The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
The company currently has three active option commitments. The first option commitment was granted February 7, 2011 with an option for 300,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.35. The options have a graded vesting schedule and a ten-year term.
 
The second grant date was on September 3, 2013 with an option for 300,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.40.  These options have a graded vesting schedule and a ten-year term.
 
The third option commitment was granted November 25, 2013 with an option for 80,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.50. The options have a graded vesting schedule and a ten-year term.
 
At December 31, 2013, 240,000 stock options were exercisable and $43,523 of total compensation cost related to vested share-based compensation grants had been recognized.  Unrecognized compensation expense from stock options was $93,277 at December 31, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.56 years beginning January 1, 2014.

Note 7: Capitalized Software Development Costs
 
Costs incurred to develop Software as a Service (SaaS) technology consist of external direct costs of materials and services and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who directly devote time to the project. Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage were expensed as incurred. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Costs incurred during the operating stage of the software application relating to upgrades and enhancements are capitalized to the extent that they result in the extended life of the product. All other costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Amortization of software development costs commences when the product is available for general release to customers. The capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the three year expected useful life of the software. Capitalized software development costs, net of amortization, were $164,480 and $188,371 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expense incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $54,827 and $0, respectively.

At year end, management identified impairment indicators and performed tests for recoverability resulting in values less than the PetroPortfolio asset’s carrying amount.  A resulting charge for impairment of $17,537 was based on management’s review of these analyses, and the balance at December 31, 2013 accurately represents management’s opinion of current value.  There was no impairment of intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2012.

On September 16, 2011, a $100,000 CDN note was executed with Brad Holland, a 2.67% shareholder.  The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 4% APR non-compounding accrued interest on its maturity date of September 16, 2014.  As of December 31, 2013, principal and accrued interest was $100,000 and $9,000, respectively.
 
On September 7, 2011, a $50,000 USD note was executed with McLellan Investment Corporation, an unrelated party.  The note is structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and 4% APR non-compounding accrued interest on its maturity date of September 7, 2014.  As of December 31, 2013, principal and accrued interest was $50,000 and $4,500, respectively.

On July 2, 2013 the Company completed a private placement of 2,948,856 restricted shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.35 per share.  The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,032,100 from the private placement.

Note 14: Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are summarized as follows for the year ended December 31, 2013:
 
   
December 31, 2013
 
Current benefit
  $ (715,656 )
Deferred benefit
    715,656  
Net income tax (benefit) expense
  $ -  
 
A full valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets based on a “more likely than not” threshold. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward periods provided in the tax law. While the Company’s statutory tax rate is 35%, its effective tax rate is 0% due to the effects of the valuation allowance described above. The Company does not have any material uncertainties with respect to its provisions for income taxes.
 
 
Note 15: Net Loss per Share
 
Net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the assumed exercise of share options are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss and are excluded from the determination of net loss per share – basic and diluted.  Accordingly, net loss per share basic and diluted are equal in all periods presented.
 
The computations for basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
 
   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Net loss
  $ (715,656 )   $ (306,948 )

Note 16: Related Party Transactions
 
The Company has a related party transaction involving a significant shareholder. The nature and details of the transaction are described in Note 10. The Company also has two related party transactions with its President, the nature, description and details of the transaction are described in Note 6 and this note.
 
IREMCO, a controlling shareholder, provides the company with office space on a month-to-month basis at no charge under a verbal agreement. The office space was vacant and not in use by IREMCO. This space provides the company with office space in Canada and will be eliminated if IREMCO has a need for the space.
 
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Michael Hinshaw, President, to loan $25,000 to the Company. The loan was a non-convertible Promissory Note with an interest rate of 3.25%.  The note was structured to incur a balloon payment of the principal and non-compounding accrued interest. Interest began accruing on the unpaid balance thirty (30) days from the date of the note. The note was paid in full in August, 2013.

Note 17: Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had a net loss of $715,656.  In addition, the Company had a net loss of $306,948 for the year ended December 31, 2012. These circumstances result in substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably or raise additional capital through debt financing and/or through sales of common stock.

The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability or obtain the additional funding would be detrimental to the Company.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
 
ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE .
 
There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013 and through the date of this report. Our financial statements for the periods from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, included in this report have been audited by Hillary CPA Group, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, 9465 Counselors Row, Suite 200, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240, telephone (317) 222-1416, as set forth in its report included in this annual report.
 
 
ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our CEO and CFO does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
 
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications
 
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework . Based on our assessment, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Conflicts of Interest

We have a separately-designated audit committee of the board.  Audit committee functions are performed by our board of directors. None of our directors are deemed independent.

Whistleblower Policy
 
We have adopted a Whistleblower Policy that provides for the protection of our employees from our retaliation where an employee believes that we are violating some law, rule or regulation and wants to disclose the same to proper authorities or to the public at large.  This policy further provides a mechanism whereby the employee may disclose the information to us in a confidential manner and may possibly resolve the issue he may want to disclose to third parties without the need of going to third parties outside of our organization.

Indemnification
 
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he or she is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him or her against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of California.
 
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be permitted to directors or officers under California law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this offering, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares.  Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants exercisable within 60 days from the date of this table are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of others.
 
The information in this table reflects “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

Progress engages Supplier to perform services such as customer experience measurement and brand management strategy consulting services, which may include the provision of certain deliverables (collectively, the “Services”) and which are further described in Progress Purchase Order (“PO”) and/or Statement of Work (“SOW”), generally in the form attached hereto as Schedule A, to be executed during the Term of this Agreement by an authorized representative from each party.
 
 
1.2.  
Each PO and/or SOW issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into and governed by the terms of this MSA, and the Supplier’s provision of Services shall be governed by this MSA.  Where the terms of a PO and/or SOW conflict with the terms of this MSA, the terms of the MSA shall prevail, except to the extent that the PO and/or SOW expressly states that the MSA is to be overridden or modified.  No Progress financial obligation will arise without issuance of a PO and/or SOW.
 
 
1.3.  
Progress may at any time, in writing, make reasonable changes in the work described in a PO and/or SOW.  If any changes cause an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for the performance of, any work under a PO and/or SOW, an equitable adjustment shall be made in Supplier’s fee or delivery schedule, or both.  Any Supplier claim for an adjustment must be asserted within ten (10) days of Supplier’s receipt of the change notification, and must be approved in a written amendment (“Change Order”).  Estimates of cost, time, and/or other items that may be included within a PO and/or SOW shall not be exceeded unless authorized in advance and in writing by Progress.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail over any additional or conflicting terms or conditions of Supplier contained in any "shrink-wrap" or "click-through" agreements, used in connection with any of Supplier’s applications or otherwise made available to Progress in connection with the applications, and Progress and its employees and agents shall not be bound by any such terms and conditions.

For the purposes of any PO and/or SOW issued by a Progress Affiliate hereunder, shall be deemed to include only the Progress Affiliate issuing such PO and/or SOW.  The parties expressly agree that PROGRESS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY NOR SHALL PROGRESS INCUR ANY OBLIGATION OR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF ANY PROGRESS AFFILIATE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PO AND/OR SOW PLACED HEREUNDER.

18.5.  
Termination for Default . Time is of the essence in this Agreement.  Except for delay, which is due to causes beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of Supplier and its suppliers (lasting not more than ten (10) business days), Progress may, by written notice of default, terminate the whole or any part of this Agreement in any one of the following circumstances if:
 
18.5.1.

- 13 -

 
 
 
 
Such termination shall become effective if Supplier does not cure such failure within a period of ten (10) days or such longer period as Progress may authorize in writing.  Upon termination, Supplier shall continue performance of this Agreement to the extent not terminated, and Progress may procure, upon such terms as it shall deem appropriate, Services and/or deliverables similar to those so terminated, and Supplier shall be liable to Progress for any excess costs for such Services and/or deliverables.  In lieu of termination for default, Progress, at its sole discretion, may elect to extend the delivery schedule and/or waive other deficiencies in Supplier's performance, in which case an equitable reduction in the amount of payments to be made under the Agreement shall be negotiated.  If Supplier for any reason anticipates difficulty complying with any required delivery dates hereunder, or in meeting any of the other requirements of this Agreement, Supplier shall promptly notify Progress in writing.  If Supplier does not comply with any schedule hereunder, Progress may require delivery by the fastest means available and charges resulting from any such premium transportation must be fully pre-paid and absorbed by Supplier.  The rights and remedies of Progress provided in this clause shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by contract, law or equity.
 
18.6.  
Suspension . Progress may at any time, by written notice to Supplier, suspend performance of work hereunder, specifying the date of suspension and the estimated duration.  Upon receiving any such notice of suspension, Supplier shall promptly suspend performance of work hereunder to the extent specified, and during the period of such suspension, properly care for and protect all work in progress and materials, supplies and equipment related to the work.  Progress may at any time withdraw the suspension by written notice to Supplier specifying the effective date and scope of withdrawal, and Supplier shall resume diligent performance of the work for which the suspension is withdrawn on the specified effective date of withdrawal.
 
18.7.  
Obligations Upon Expiration or Termination . Neither Progress nor Supplier shall be liable by reason of the termination, expiration or non-renewal of this Agreement to the other for compensation, reimbursement or damages on account of the loss of prospective or anticipated revenues or on account of expenditures, investments, leases or commitments in connection with the business or good will of Progress or Supplier or otherwise.  However, this limitation is not intended to limit the liability of either party for defaults under Section 18.5.  Upon expiration or after receipt of a notice of termination, Supplier shall immediately:
 
18.7.1.  
stop work as directed in the notice;
 
18.7.2.  
place no further subcontracts or POs for materials, services or facilities hereunder, except as necessary to complete the continued portion of this Agreement; and
 
18.7.3.  
terminate all subcontracts to the extent they relate to work terminated.
 
After termination, Supplier shall deliver to Progress all completed work and work in process, including all designs, drawings, specifications and other documentation and material required or produced in connection with such work.  Progress shall reimburse Supplier for the cost of all work performed under this Agreement before the date of receipt of the notice of termination, less any costs Progress incurred as a result of the termination, or due to Supplier’s breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.
 
19.  
Release of Claims. In consideration of the execution of this Agreement by Progress, Supplier hereby releases Progress from all claims, demands, contracts and liabilities, if any, as of the date of execution of this Agreement, except indebtedness, which may be owing upon a written contract signed by Progress.
 
20.  
Waiver and Failure to Enforce. No claim or right arising out of a breach of this Agreement can be discharged in whole or in part by a waiver or renunciation unless the waiver or renunciation is supported by consideration and is in writing signed by the aggrieved party.  Progress’s failure to enforce at any time or for any period of time any provision hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of the right to Progress thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.
 
21.  
Notices. Notices and other communications between the parties shall be in English and shall be deemed to be validly given if transmitted in writing, by registered mail, overnight courier or personal delivery, in all cases signature required, to the other party at the address and to the contact set forth below.  Either party may change its address by giving notice to the other party as provided for herein.

Execution and Modification.
 
23.1.  
This Agreement and all documents incorporated herein by reference constitute the complete and final agreement concerning the subject matter hereof.  Any representations, terms or conditions not incorporated herein shall not be binding upon either party.  No course of prior dealings between parties, no course of performance and no usage of trade shall be relevant to determine the meaning of this Agreement even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the performance and opportunity for objection.  The invalidity, in whole or in part, of any of the foregoing Sections of this Agreement shall not affect the remainder of such Sections or any other Section of this Agreement.
 
23.2.  
The parties negotiated this Agreement in good faith.  Any ambiguities in the language of this Agreement are not to be construed or resolved against either party based on the fact that such party was principally responsible for drafting this Agreement.
 
23.3.  
This Agreement wholly cancels, terminates and supersedes all previous negotiations, commitments and writings between the parties in connection therewith.  This Agreement shall not become effective or binding upon Progress until signed by an authorized representative of Progress at which time it will be deemed retroactively effective upon the Effective Date.
 
23.4.  
No change, modification, extension, renewal, ratification, rescission, termination, notice of termination, discharge, abandonment or waiver of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof; nor any representation, promise or condition relating to this Agreement shall be binding upon Progress unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Progress.  Any modifications to or acknowledgments sent under this Agreement may be sent via postal service or by electronic means.  These electronic transmissions shall be deemed to satisfy any and all legal formalities requiring that agreements be in writing.  Neither party shall contest the validity or enforceability of any such electronic transmission under any applicable statute of frauds.  Computer maintained records when produced in hard copy form shall constitute business records and shall have the same validity as any other generally recognized business records.
 
24.  
In the event any provision of this Agreement, in whole or in part, is invalid, unenforceable or in conflict with the applicable laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, such provision will be replaced, to the extent possible, with a provision which accomplishes the original business purposes of the provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain unaffected and in full force.
 
25.  
Neither party shall be responsible for failure to perform its obligations if such failure is as a result of a force majeure condition, including without limitation fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane (or other natural disaster), war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (regardless of whether war is declared), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or confiscation, terrorist activities, government sanction, blockage, embargo, labor dispute, strike, lockout or interruption or failure of electricity or telephone service.  If a party asserts force majeure as an excuse for failure to perform its obligations, then the nonperforming party must prove that it took reasonable steps to minimize delay or damages caused by foreseeable events, that it substantially fulfilled all non-excused obligations, and that the other party was timely notified of the likelihood or actual occurrence of an event described above.

PROGRESS TRAVEL AND EXPENSE POLICY
 
 
 
 
 
This policy covers all reimbursable travel and living expenses incurred by Supplier's personnel while such personnel are providing Services to Progress at Progress’ premises.  Full documentation (copies of all receipts) must be submitted to Progress for reimbursement.
 
AIRLINE TRAVEL:  Airline travel expenses are reimbursed based on actual cost incurred.  Supplier must choose the most economical rates and must fly in coach class.  Business class travel is only authorized for international flights of eight hours or more from the gateway city.  When applicable, discount fares should be employed.  However, Supplier should weigh the likelihood of changes in travel plans, resulting in penalties, against advance purchase discounts.
 
CHARTER AIRCRAFT:  Progress will not reimburse Supplier for the cost of a personally owned, corporate owned or a specifically chartered aircraft.  If personally owned, corporate owned or charter airplane is used, Progress will reimburse Supplier for the lowest comparable airfare.
 
LODGING:  Detailed breakdown of room charges must be submitted for reimbursement.  Entertainment charges, such as in-room movies, are considered personal expenses and will not be reimbursed.
 
MEALS:  Supplier will be reimbursed for reasonable meal expenses incurred while Supplier's personnel are providing Services to Progress at Progress’ premises where business travel is required.  Meal expenses reported should reflect actual cost incurred, including tax and tips.  Reimbursement for meal expenses will not include expenses associated with business entertainment or meal expenses involving Progress employees, and will be subject to the following daily limits:
 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
$20
$30
$50
     
 
GROUND TRANSPORTATION:  Reasonable expenses for non-commuting ground transportation (taxi, bus, or train) are reimbursable.  Preferred mode of intra-city transportation is the lowest-cost method that meets business needs and that is practical and safe.
 
AUTOMOBILE RENTAL:  Supplier should rent automobiles only when other transportation is not feasible or where automobile rental is less expensive than other modes of transportation.  Intermediate-size or compact cars should be selected unless there is a business reason to rent a larger car (i.e. groups of four or more).  Progress will NOT reimburse for insurance on car rentals.
 
USE OF PERSONAL AUTOMOBILES:  When a Supplier’ automobile must be used for business travel, reimbursement will be computed using Progress’ current business mileage reimbursement rate times the actual business miles driven.  Normal commuting expenses, defined as less than 40 miles one way to a Progress site, are not reimbursable.  No reimbursement will be made for the cost of repairs or other costs associated with the vehicle such as fines, court costs, or towing charges.
 
MISCELLANEOUS TRAVEL EXPENSES:
Progress will reimburse Suppliers for the following items while traveling on Progress business:
Telephone calls:  Business calls and a reasonable number of calls home to family necessary due to business travel;
Tipping:  Below are examples of reasonable tipping guidelines:
 
o  
Business Meals: 15%-20% of the pre-tax bill.
 
o  
Courtesy Shuttle: $1-$2 per person or $4-$5 for a group.
 
o  
Taxi: 15% of the total fare.
 
o  
Porter/Doorman:  $1-$2 for calling a taxi.

o  
Room Service: 15% if gratuity or service charge is not already included.
 
o  
Maid Service: $2-$3 per night.
 
o  
 
 
NOTE: Tips should be included with the cost of the associated expense, where applicable.
Tolls and Parking:  Tolls and parking fees are reimbursed for travel using a personal or rental automobile.
Progress WILL NOT REIMBURSE items of a personal nature, such as:
Personal goods:  Cigarettes, bar bills, magazines, newspapers, toiletries, laundry/dry cleaning services etc.
Personal entertainment:  Theaters, movies (including in-room movies), sports events, etc.
Personal fees and dues to clubs: Airline membership clubs; out of town athletic club fees, personal credit card fees, etc.

Upon the Effective Date, an amount equal to one-third of the total amount of fees specified in the Budget Estimate above (i.e., ninety four thousand five hundred U.S. Dollars or $94,500, the “Project Fee Total”) will be invoiced and due upon receipt of such invoice ($31,500).  Based on an anticipated timeline of 16 weeks, the second invoice for an additional one-third of the Project Fee Total ($31,500) will be sent out eight (8) weeks after the Effective Date.  The third and final invoice for the remaining one-third of the Project Fee Total ($31,500) will be sent upon delivery of the final report and all deliverables specified in the Project Description, or 16 weeks after the Effective Date, whichever comes second.  All invoices, except the initial invoice which is due upon receipt, are due Net 15 days.

Out-of-pocket expenses include (but are not limited to) color outputs, transcription services, copies, deliveries, sample acquisition or remuneration, phone, travel, etc. All out-of-pocket expenses are billed at cost, and are estimated not to exceed 10% of Project Fee Total. If the demands of the project dictate expenses that exceed this, then written approval will be obtained from Client in advance of these expenses being incurred. Out-of-pocket expenses $5,000 and up that are agreed to in advance by Client are subject to a 50% deposit, payable to the Company prior to ordering the service.

Description of S ervices
 
Pursuant to and in conformance with any standards and/or specifications which may be provided by Microsoft to Vendor from time to time, Vendor Personnel shall deliver to and/or perform for Microsoft the following goods, services and/or other items or materials as a work made for hire (collectively, the “Services”).
 
MCorp will apply its proven approach to assist the Microsoft Information Technology organization (MSIT) and the Customer Experience Management team from Strategic Enterprise Services (SEA) to help the #digital team codify the end-to-end meeting experience for Microsoft FTEs, through the development of a set of three personas (meeting attendees) that are uniquely identified in meetings workstream, their touchpoints and creation of “As-Is” (current state) journey maps for each.
 
Specifically, MCorp will assist MSIT and SEA to support the #digital vision of providing ‘Meetings as a Service’ by:
 
·  
Providing #digital a better understanding of the current experience of meeting attendees (‘customers’), including the “current state” of the end-to-end meeting experience.
 
·  
Understand what issues cause poor experiences, including:
 
o  
the weighted importance of these issues as factors driving the meeting experience, and
 
o  
the relative importance and effectiveness of the various touchpoints, systems, interactions and processes which contribute to the overall meeting experience.
 
·  
Identifying opportunities for improvement, including the possibility of “Quick Wins”
 
MCorp will work side-by-side with MSIT and SEA as a team to accomplish the engagement objectives.
 
These end-to-end lifecycle views will uncover major issues and needs, touching multiple business processes, systems and functions while informing, guiding and supporting meeting experience improvement findings and recommendations for #digital MEETINGS WORKSTREAM.
