ITEM 1.01 - ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
 
On January 24, 2012, Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“THI” or the “Company”), Trunity, Inc. (“Trunity”) and Trunity Acquisition Corporation (“TAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of THI, all Delaware corporations, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 24, 2012, TAC merged with and into Trunity, with Trunity remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of THI (the “Merger”).  As consideration for the Merger, as of the closing of the Merger, (i) each of the 961,974 shares of common stock of THI owned by Trunity was cancelled, (ii) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Trunity was converted into the right to receive one share of the common stock of THI; and (iii) each share of TAC was converted into one share of Trunity common stock.  As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of Trunity hold 99% of the common stock of THI. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.01 and is incorporated into this Item by reference.
 
In order to facilitate the reverse merger transaction, immediately prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, Trunity acquired a 90.1% interest in Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with the three principal shareholders of THI, as a result of which Trunity acquired 961,974 BTI shares for the price of $325,000 plus 325,000 shares of Trunity common stock.  As part of the transaction, on January 24, 2012, immediately prior to the Merger, BTI reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name from Brain Tree International, Inc. to Trunity Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the reincorporation, 105,064 minority shares of BTI automatically converted into the same number of shares of THI.

In connection with the Merger, the following individuals were appointed to their respective positions with THI set forth beside their names below:

FORM 10 DISCLOSURE
 
Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K provides that if a registrant reporting a transaction under Item 2.01 was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), in connection with such transaction the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if it were filing a general form for securities registration on Form 10.  Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined company after the Merger.  Since our operations after the Merger will consist solely of Trunity operations, except where the context otherwise requires, the following discussion of our business and operations, “Trunity,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” will mean or refer to Trunity’s business and operations. Any discussions of our or the Company’s post-Merger capital stock means or refers to THI and its common or preferred stock.

BUSINESS
 
General

Trunity is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Trunity has developed a cloud-based knowledge management and sharing platform that focuses on the rapidly growing e-learning, virtual textbook, customer experience and education marketplaces. As a result of the platform’s innovative architecture, Trunity enables unique real-time/end-to-end integration of knowledge and learning ecosystems, including (but not limited to) peer-reviewed crowdsourcing of high-value content from communities of expert contributors (today over 2,000 of the world’s top scientists use the Trunity platform) that gets assembled into virtual textbooks (Trunity Knowledge) and delivered through Trunity’s virtual classroom solution (Trunity Learn) to customers. Trunity has been the recipient of funding from several National Science Foundation (NSF) grants to develop this disruptive solution and is partnered with National Science Foundation (NSF), The National Academy’s of Science (NAS), The Encyclopedia of the Earth and the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) as core content contributors and customers.

Description of Products and Services

Trunity offers a Learning Content Management System (LCMS) that has been built from the ground up atop a robust knowledge gathering and management platform. With content as its core, Trunity is able to provide a truly unique experience to both professors and students. All content within the system is treated as assets  from lectures to assignments to exams  and may be shared, modified and re-used effortlessly across the ecosystem on a per-permission/policy/fee basis via Trunity’s integrated publishing and ecommerce infrastructure. The Trunity platform can be used as a stand-alone solution or may be integrated with existing data systems.
 
Trunity provides value to customers in three primary areas: Knowledge; Learn; and Connect. Depending on the application, any subset, combination or all of the functionality in these primary areas may be employed as part of a specific customer solution.

Knowledge

 Trunity’s platform allows subject matter experts to create content consisting of text and multimedia (videos, audios, pictures, hyperlinks, etc.) in manageable units for timely consumption. Professors and teachers can share, re-use and curate content from multiple authors to create engaging virtual textbooks that are customized to their needs. All content on the Trunity platform may be made available via Trunity’s unique process of Live Cross Publishing.  Live Cross Publishing enables content to be published to other users on the platform (with the author’s permission), with the added benefit of being automatically updated should the original content ever need changing. This technology allows curators and instructors to essentially create living course material or textbooks - ever updating to stay current with the latest developments.

The Trunity platform also has collections of peer-reviewed content that is available for inclusion via Live Cross Publishing, bringing the benefits of peer-reviewed crowd-sourcing to the classroom.

Learn

In addition to Trunity’s Knowledge capability, the platform facilitates learning for both online and blended educational environments. With features found in most existing Learning Management System platforms, Trunity allows professors to manage their course schedules, administer exams and quizzes, provide and grade assignments and more. The platform also allows students to collect all their grades, assignments and projects and maintain them in a personal online profile.  An ePortfolio enables students to share selected items (such as projects) with other classmates or with potential employers.

Connect

Finally, the Trunity platform enables collaboration with several social networking features. Whether it be in the form of student-to-student, student-to-professor, or professor-to-professor, collaboration has been shown to greatly aid the learning process for students as well as instructors. Whether it is the ability to rate content, add comments or engage in discussion forums, the Trunity platform is designed with the understanding that education works best when communication flows freely.  With this level of communication, course material and virtual textbooks can now be updated in real-time if new information becomes available.

Students can also see a list of their colleagues that are taking courses with them. This fosters a community feel for the students from day one, whether the class be on campus or online.

The same platform that enables a new style of learning environment for classrooms also serves corporations. Trunity enables corporations to educate and engage their customers, business partners and employees. Companies and their customers converse through forums, with customers sharing experiences and establishing best practices. The company can solicit feedback with surveys and forums. Business partners can take exams to become certified to sell the company’s products, and employees can share project information, HR policies, training materials and more leveraging Trunity’s content management capabilities.  As with the education market, all of this is provided in a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) environment, freeing the corporate IT groups to focus on mission critical applications.
 
Patents
 
Trunity has filed for two provisional patents:
 
 
System and Method for Virtual Textbook Creation and Remuneration : United States Provisional Patent Application #61524285; filed 16 August 2011; inventors are Kevin H. Eaton, Halldor F. Utne, Joakim F. Lindblom; assigned to Trunity Inc.
 
System and Method for Dynamic Cross Publishing of Content Across Multiple Sites : United States Provisional Patent Application # 61561700; filed 18 November 2011; inventor is Joakim F. Lindblom; assigned to Trunity Inc.
 
We are working on four additional patent applications which we expect to file in 2012. There can be no assurance that any of these patents will ultimately be issued.
 
Competition

Trunity faces substantial competition from numerous other companies, most of whom have financial and other resources substantially greater than those of the Company. The Company’s principal competitors consist of educational publishing companies and open source platforms such as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Pearson, Blackboard, Inc., and Moodle. These and other competitors may prove more successful in offering similar products and/or may offer alternative products that prove superior in performance and/or more popular with potential customers than the Company’s products. The Company’s ability to commercialize its products and grow and achieve profitability in accordance with its business plan will depend on its ability to satisfy its customers and withstand increasing competition by providing high-quality products at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain a successful competitive position.

Management
 
Trunity’s management consists of experienced sales, marketing and engineering professionals from the networking, technology and software industry. Biographical and other information on our executive officers and directors is set forth in the sections entitled “Directors and Executive Officers” of the Form 10 disclosure.
 
RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and all other information contained or referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K before investing in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by some or all of the matters described below or other currently unknown factors. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all of your investment.

Risks related to our business

General; We have limited operating history.

The Company was formed in 2009 and has a limited operating history with substantial operating losses. The Company has yet to generate any significant revenues, and the commercial value of its products and services is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. Further, the Company is subject to all the risks inherent in a new business including, but not limited to: intense competition; lack of sufficient capital; loss of protection of proprietary technology and trade secrets; difficulties in commercializing its products, managing growth and hiring and retaining key employees; adverse changes in costs and general business and economic conditions; and the need to achieve product acceptance, to enter and develop new markets and to develop and maintain successful relationships with customers.

Intellectual Property .

The Company relies primarily on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect its proprietary technology, which is its principal asset.

The Company’s ability to compete effectively will depend to a large extent on its success in protecting its proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad. There can be no assurance that (i) any patent that the Company applies for will be issued, (ii) any patents issued will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, (iii) that the Company will have the financial resources to enforce its patents or (iv) the patent rights granted will provide any competitive advantage. The Company could incur substantial costs in defending any patent infringement suits or in asserting its patent rights, including those granted by third parties, and the Company might not be able to afford such expenditures.

Although the Company has entered into confidentiality and invention agreements with its key personnel, there can be no assurance that these agreements will be honored or that the Company will be able to protect its rights to its non-patented trade secrets and know-how effectively. There can be no assurance that competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superior proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company’s trade secrets and know-how. In addition, the Company may be required to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. If the Company does not obtain required licenses, it could encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring these licenses could be foreclosed.

Need for Additional Funds.

The Company will need to raise substantial additional funds. Without such additional funds, the Company may have to cease operations. The Company will require substantial additional funding for its contemplated research and development activities, commercialization of its products and services and ordinary operating expenses. Adequate funds for these purposes may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. Insufficient funds may require the Company to delay or scale back its activities or to cease operations.
 
Going Concern.
 
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
Competition.

The Company faces substantial competition from numerous other companies, most of whom have financial and other resources substantially greater than those of the Company. The Company’s principal competitors consist of educational publishing companies and open source platforms such as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Pearson, Blackboard, Inc., and Moodle. These and other competitors may prove more successful in offering similar products and/or may offer alternative products that prove superior in performance and/or more popular with potential customers than the Company’s products. The Company’s ability to commercialize its products and grow and achieve profitability in accordance with its business plan will depend on its ability to satisfy its customers and withstand increasing competition by providing high-quality products at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain a successful competitive position.

Operational failures in our network infrastructure could disrupt our remote hosting and application services, could cause us to lose clients and sales to potential clients and could result in increased expenses and reduced revenues.

Unanticipated problems affecting our network systems could cause interruptions or delays in the delivery of the hosting services and other application services we provide to some of our clients. We provide remote hosting and other application services through computer hardware that is currently located in third-party co-location facilities in various locations in the United States. We do not control the operation of these co-location facilities. Lengthy interruptions in our hosting service or other application services could be caused by the occurrence of a natural disaster, power loss, vandalism or other telecommunications problems at the co-location facilities or if these co-location facilities were to close without adequate notice. Although we have developed redundancies in some of our systems, we are exposed to the risk of network failures in the future. We currently do not have adequate computer hardware and systems to provide alternative service for most of our hosting or application service clients in the event of an extended loss of service at the co-location facilities. Though some of our co-location facilities are served by data backup redundancy at other facilities, they are not equipped to provide full disaster recovery to all of our hosting and application services clients. If there are operational failures in our network infrastructure that cause interruptions, slower response times, loss of data or extended loss of service for our hosting and application services clients, we may be required to issue credits or pay penalties, current clients may terminate their contracts or elect not to renew them, and we may lose sales to potential clients. If we determine that we need additional hardware and systems, we may be required to make further investments in our network infrastructure, reducing our operating margins and diverting capital from other efforts.

Because we generally recognize revenues ratably over the term of our contract with a client, downturns or upturns in sales will not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods.

When our products are fully launched we will recognize most of our revenues from clients monthly over the terms of their agreements, which are expected to be 12 months. As a result, much of the revenue we will report in each quarter is attributable to agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in sales, client renewals, or market acceptance of our products in any one quarter would not necessarily be fully reflected in the revenues in that quarter, and would negatively affect our revenues and profitability in future quarters. This ratable revenue recognition also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenues through additional sales in any period, as revenues from new clients generally are recognized over the applicable agreement term.

Governmental Incentives.

The Company’s business plan relies to some extent on the availability of federal and state incentives for K12 schools to implement online course offerings. There can be no assurance that some or all of these incentives will not be substantially reduced or eliminated, nor can there be any assurance that any currently proposed incentives will actually take effect.

Government regulation of the Internet and eCommerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign agencies becomes more likely.  Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth and use of the Internet or other online services.  These regulation and laws may address pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of products and services.  It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales, and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet and eCommerce.  Unfavorable resolution of these issues could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of the operations and financial condition.

Management; Dependence on Key Personnel.

The success of the Company will depend in large part upon the skill and efforts of its founders and executive officers, Terry B. Anderton and Joakim Lindblom and other key personnel, including those who may be hired. Loss of any such personnel, whether due to resignation, death, and disability or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, as we seek to expand our organization, the hiring of qualified sales, technical and support personnel could be difficult due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Failure to attract, integrate and retain key personnel would result in disruptions to our operations, including adversely affecting the timeliness of product releases, the successful implementation and completion of company initiatives and the results of our operations.

Our current principal shareholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exercise significant influence over our affairs.

Our founders, including our executive officers and directors, as of January 30, 2012, beneficially own approximately 22.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.  The same group holds approximately 23.1% of the Company’s Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis.  Consequently, these shareholders may be able to determine the composition of the Board of Directors, retain the voting power to approve matters requiring shareholder approval and continue to have control over the Company’s operations.  The interests of these shareholders may be different from the interests of other shareholders on these matters.  The concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Calamities

Although the Company maintains insurance which it considers prudent, there can be no assurance that such insurance will prove adequate in the event of actual casualty losses or broader calamities such as terrorist attacks, earthquakes, financial crises, economic depressions or other catastrophic events, which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If our products contain errors, new product releases are delayed or our services are disrupted, we could lose new sales and be subject to significant liability claims.

Because our software products are complex, they may contain undetected errors or defects, known as bugs. Bugs can be detected at any point in a product’s life cycle, but are more common when a new product is introduced or when new versions are released. We have frequent new product and functionality releases, and those releases may be delayed from their scheduled date due to a wide range of factors. Finally, our service offerings may be disrupted causing delays or interruptions in the services provided to our clients. In the past, we have encountered defects in our product releases, product development delays and interruptions in our service offerings. Despite our product testing, planning and other quality control efforts, we anticipate that our products and services may encounter undetected defects, release delays and service interruptions in the future. Significant errors in our products, delays in product releases or disruptions in the provision of our services could lead to:
 
·
 
delays in or loss of market acceptance of our products;
·
 
diversion of our resources;
·
 
a lower rate of license renewals or upgrades;
·
 
injury to our reputation; and
·
 
increased service expenses or payment of damages.
 
Because our clients use our products to store, retrieve and utilize critical information, we may be subject to significant liability claims if our products do not work properly or if the provision of our services is disrupted. Such claims could result in significant expenses, disrupt sales and affect our reputation and that of our products. We cannot be certain that the limitations of liability set forth in our licenses and agreements would be enforceable or would otherwise protect us from liability, and our insurance may not cover all or any of the claims. A material liability claim against us, regardless of its merit or its outcome, could result in substantial costs, significantly harm our business reputation and divert management’s attention from our operations.

We depend heavily on our relationship with National Council for Sciences and the Environment.

The National Council for Sciences and the Environment (NCSE) represents, and is the fiscal agent for, the Environmental Information Coalition (EIC), which maintains numerous websites that provide expert content from scientists, professors, scholars, corporations and many other entities.  These websites, also known as the Encyclopedia of Earth (EOE), represent a large amount of content that is made available on the Internet.  The EOE is governed by an editorial board that is part of the EIC. The EOE was created, and is owned, by the EIC within the framework of a Creative Commons license, through the work of scientists, environmental professionals, and science-attentive individuals with quality control provided by experts in the many topic areas.  The Encyclopedia includes articles, books, reports, biographies, collections, curricula and other educational resources, and other materials.

NCSE contracts with the Company to provide a unified platform for EOE and its related websites to operate on a single platform, the Trunity platform.  The amount of content in the EOE is an important part of the Company’s business plan, and if Trunity were to lose this content it would have a material adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company.

If we fail to keep pace with rapid technological changes, our competitive position will suffer.

The eLearning industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Failure to respond to technological advances could make our business less efficient, or cause our products to be of a lesser quality than those of our competitors. These advances could also allow competitors to provide higher quality services at lower costs than we can provide. Thus, if we are unable to adopt or incorporate technological advances, our services will become uncompetitive.

We could lose revenues if there are changes in the spending policies or budget priorities for government funding of research institutions, foundations, universities and other education providers.

Most of our customers and potential customers are research institutions, foundations, universities and other education providers who depend substantially on government funding. Accordingly, any general decrease, delay or change in federal, state or local funding for colleges, universities, schools and other education providers could cause our current and potential customers to reduce their purchases of our products and services, or to decide not to renew service contracts, either of which could cause us to lose revenues. In addition, a specific reduction in governmental funding support for products such as ours would also cause us to lose revenues. The severe economic downturn experienced in the U.S. and globally has caused many of our clients to experience severe budgetary pressures, which has and will likely continue to have a negative impact on sales of our products. Continuing unfavorable economic conditions may result in further budget cuts and lead to lower overall spending, including information technology spending, by our current and potential clients, which may cause our revenues to decrease.

Security breaches could damage our business.
 
Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and the privacy of users may inhibit the growth of the Internet, social networking sites, online services and online commerce. Failure to successfully prevent security breaches could significantly harm the Company’s business and expose the Company to litigation. Anyone who is able to circumvent the Company’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary information, including personal data, cause interruptions in the Company’s operations or damage its brand and reputation. The Company cannot assure the investors that its financial systems and other technological resources are completely secure from security breaches or sabotage. The Company may have to incur significant costs to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Further, any well-publicized compromise of the Company’s security or the security of any other Internet provider could deter people from using the Company’s services or the Internet to conduct transactions that involve transmitting confidential information or downloading sensitive materials. The occurrence of one or more of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock; Liquidity Risks

Volatility of Stock Price.
  
The market prices for securities of emerging and development stage companies such as the Company have historically been highly volatile. Difficulty in raising capital as well as future announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including the results of testing, technological innovations or new commercial products, government regulations, developments concerning proprietary rights, litigation or public concern as to safety of potential products developed by the Company or others, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the Company’s stock.

We have no intention to pay dividends on our Common Stock.

For the near-term, we intend to retain any remaining future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends with respect to our Common Stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and there is minimal liquidity in the trading market for our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “BNTE” (which we expect to change in February 2012). There has been only minimal trading of our common stock since the Merger, and no assurance can be given as to when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares of our common stock.

Possible Depressive Effect on Price of Securities of Future Sales of Common Stock.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has issued to the former Trunity shareholders 33,231,037 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These shares are restricted securities subject to Rule 144. The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market under Rule 144 or otherwise could materially adversely affect the prevailing market prices of the Company’s Common Stock and could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.

Possible Adverse Effects of Authorization and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock. The issuance of any series of preferred stock having rights superior to those of the common stock may result in a decrease in the value or market price of the common stock and could further be used by the Board as a device to prevent a change in control favorable to the Company. Holders of preferred stock to be issued in the future may have the right to receive dividends and certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of such preferred stock could make the possible takeover of the Company or the removal of management of the Company more difficult, and adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holder of the common stock, or depress the market price of the Common Stock.

Disclosures Relating to Low Priced Stocks; Restrictions on Resale of Low Price Stocks and on Broker-Dealer Sale; Possible Adverse Effect of “Penny Stock” Rules on Liquidity for the Company’s Securities.

Since the Company has net tangible assets of less than $1,000,000, transactions in the Company’s securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, this Rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell any of the Company’s securities in the secondary market.

The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any non-NASDAQ equity security of a small Company that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share, or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain exceptions, and which is not traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ. For any transaction by broker-dealers involving a penny stock (unless exempt), the rules require delivery, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in an account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Overview
 
 
Trunity is a Delaware corporation with its principal office in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was formed on July 28, 2009 to develop a cloud-based knowledge-sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, customer experience and the education marketplace. The Company formed though the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development of its platform.

Except as specifically noted to the contrary, the following discussion relates only to Trunity since, as a result of the Merger, the only historical financial statements presented for the Company in periods following the merger with BTI will be those of the operating entity, Trunity, Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

 
10

 
 
Development Stage Operations

The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. We may not be able to obtain financing or capital on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue model consists of Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and hosting revenue, for sites using the Company’s platform, as well as consulting, and advertising revenue.  All SaaS Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Consulting revenues are earned for web site development services and are recognized on a time and materials basis, billed in accordance with contractual milestones negotiated with the customer.  Revenues are recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In such contracts, revenue is earned upon achievement of certain milestones indicated in the client agreements.  Services under these contracts are typically provided in less than a year and represent the contractual milestones or output measure, which reflect the earnings pattern.

Advertising revenue is earned from search engine providers based on search activity for sites hosted by the Company.

Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as Unbilled Revenue (an asset). Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as Deferred Revenue (a liability) until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.

Accounts Receivable

We estimate credit loss reserves for accounts receivable on an individual receivable basis. A specific impairment allowance reserve is established based on expected future cash flows and the financial condition of the debtor.  We charge off customer balances in part or in full when it is more likely than not that we will not collect that amount of the balance due.  We consider any balance unpaid after the contract payment period to be past due.  We believe all accounts receivable due at December 31, 2011 and 2010 to be collectible.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.   For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2011. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are expected to be minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. The tax years 2009, 2010 and 2011 are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Taxes on Revenue Producing Transactions

The Company earns revenues through various services.  Service revenue is taxable in some jurisdictions throughout the United States and The Company could be responsible for collecting those taxes subject to state or local requirements.  The Company is not aware of any transactions which would necessitate the fiduciary responsibility of collecting and remitting sales based taxes.

Research and Development Costs

The Company capitalizes research and development related to the development of its software platform. Research and development costs not associated with the development of the software platform are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to expense the fair value of stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value, and expected volatility of its shares. Therefore, as allowed for non-public entities, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of stock compensation.

Convertible Debt

The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value of conversion features of its debt that allows holders to convert holdings into common shares of the Company. It therefore elected to account for these conversion rights using the intrinsic value method.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and convertible debt, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.

 
12

 
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stockholders’ Equity

Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and consist of the Trunity Platform software development costs. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over three years.

Results of Operations

Years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

During 2011 and 2010, we focused on the development of our platform technology and bringing that platform to our target markets.  Revenues grew to $299,355 in 2011 from $190,432 in 2010, an increase of 57%.  Service revenues made up the majority of this growth.  Research and development expenses declined to $907,259 from $1,408,018 as the Company concentrated its development efforts on the learning market.  Selling, general and administrative expense grew to $1,303,579 from $789,351 as the selling efforts were increased and finance and accounting resources were brought in to ready us for the requirements of becoming a public company.  The loss from operations remained consistent in 2011 and 2010, at approximately $2.1 million in both years.

Interest expense in 2011 declined to $173,253 from $416,583 in 2010 due to the conversion of all of the Company’s long-term debt outstanding from 2010 through mid-2011 into equity in mid-2011.  Offsetting this savings was a one-time $293,092 non-cash expense related to the early retirement of this debt recorded in 2011.

Net losses remained consistent in 2011 and 2010 at approximately $2.5 million in both years.  As research and development costs are expected to continue into 2012 at the historical levels, the Company will generate substantial net losses until we are able to successfully penetrate our markets with our products, as to which there can be no assurance.

Years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

In 2010 we began selling our products and services, generating revenues of $190,432 for the year.  2009 was the year of inception for the Company and the focus was on developing the platform and exploring the market.  There were no revenues in 2009.  Research and development expenses grew to $1,408,018 in 2010 versus $1,200,465 in 2009 due to the effect of a full year in 2010 versus a partial year in 2009.  Selling, general and administrative expenses grew to $789,351 in 2010 from $670,292 in 2009 due to a full year of expense. Our net loss was $2.5 million in 2010 and $2.0 million in 2009. The increase in the loss was due to higher expenses in 2010 resulting from a full year of activity, as well as higher interest expenses from debt issued to finance operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 we had working capital deficits of $664,842, $1,119,001 and $674,565, respectively.

 
13

 
 
During 2011, we raised gross proceeds of $1,769,576 through the sale of 6,857,538 shares of our common stock to investors at an average price of $0.26 per share.  These sales of shares occurred at various times throughout 2011.  The Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $112,000 consisting chiefly of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.  In addition to the cash issuance costs, 1,698,318 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to our lead financial advisor, Martinez-Ayme Securities, Inc. (“MAS”), as compensation for MAS’s services.  Working capital was also raised from loans made to the Company by its founders, which were $117,620 in 2011.

On our balance sheet, capitalized software declined to $630,742 at December 31, 2011 versus $1,243,849 and $1,590,834 at the end of 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This decline is due to amortization of the capitalized costs exceeding the costs capitalized during the respective years. We amortize capitalized software over the expected useful life of three years.  At December 31, 2011 other assets includes non-refundable deposits of $175,000 made in connection with the BTI merger.

In 2011, the Company converted $4,063,811 of its long-term debt to common stock, thereby reducing interest expense and future principal obligations. Accounts payable grew to $492,132 at December 31, 2011 versus $279,826 and $328,273 at the end of 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This growth was due primarily to unpaid professional fees and expenses related to the planned merger with BTI.

In 2010 and 2009, the Company raised $711,500 and $853,308, respectively, from the sale of common stock and $939,757 and $2,300,960, respectively, from the issuance of debt instruments ($552.257 and $2,045,543 of the debt was from the three founders of the Company).  Operating activities and investments in the platform technology and fixed assets consumed nearly all funds raised in these years.

In January 2012, the Company sold 264,084 shares of common stock raising $66,021 and the founders loaned the Company $51,535.  These funds were used to fund operations and to cover the balance of the cash needed to close the Merger.  After the closing of the Merger, we will need to immediately raise substantial additional funds in order to continue operations.

We are actively seeking more funding from private debt and equity investors, as we will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to finance our plan of operations. Our cash position as of December 31, 2011 was $122,798.  This cash plus the funds raised in 2012 to date will not be adequate to support operations for the remainder of 2012.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary funds. If we do not raise the necessary funds, we will be forced to cease operations.

PROPERTIES
 
We do not own any real property. In August, 2010, we entered into a lease agreement for 6,400 square feet of office space in Newburyport, Massachusetts. This lease is effective through July 2013. The lease provides a free rent period for the first four months of the term and rent thereafter at $7,600 per month.  We believe that this facility is adequate to serve our needs for the foreseeable future.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Trunity’s three co-founders, Les V. Anderton, Terry Anderton and Joakim Lindblom, collectively own Trunity, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which was the holder of a $1.8 million promissory note made by Trunity bearing an interest of 8% payable with 120 monthly installments, maturing in June 2019. The loan balance at December 31, 2011 was approximately $142,000, consisting entirely of accrued but unpaid interest. Terms of the loan were disclosed in Note 6. In 2011, the Company made $153,500 in interest payments to the three founders.  No interest was paid in 2010.  In July 2011, all principal due on this note was converted to common shares of the Company and distributed to the three owners of Trunity, LLC.

Credit agreements exist with Terry B. Anderton and Les V. Anderton that allow Trunity to borrow up to $0.9 million, as needed, to fund working capital needs. These agreements carry an interest rate of 10% and will expire in September and December of 2012.  There were no outstanding balances related to these agreements at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2011, Terry B. Anderton, Les V. Anderton, and Joakim Lindblom advanced Trunity no interest loans of $22,041, $25,000 and $22,000, respectively, which remain outstanding at the end of the period.

Upon forming Trunity in 2009, 3,333,333 shares were issued to both Terry B. Anderton and Les V. Anderton for a total of 6,666,667 shares (as adjusted for a 1 for 3 reverse stock split in 2011). At December 31, 2011, Terry B. Anderton directly owned and controlled 4,728,983 shares, Les V. Anderton directly and indirectly, with his wife, controlled 7,247,683 shares and Joakim Lindblom directly owned and controlled 467,000 shares.

In 2009 and 2010, Joakim Lindblom was granted stock options to purchase 333,333 and 100,000 shares in Trunity, respectively, at a strike price of $0.33. In 2011, Mr. Lindblom was granted additional options to purchase an additional 333,333 and 60,000 shares at strike prices of $0.30 and $0.25, respectively.  All share amounts have been adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split that occurred in 2011.

In 2011, various notes with the founders were converted to shares of common stock in the Company. The following shares (after the 1 for 3 reverse split of its common shares) were issued to the founders upon conversion of the Trunity, LLC note payable and notes payable to the founders.

In December 2011, in connection with a private placement of Trunity common stock, Terry Anderton and Aureus Investments L.C. ( “Aureus ”)  agreed to match a share of their stock for every share purchased from the Company up to a maximum of 1,405,000 shares ($351,250).  This effectively reduced the investors’ cost per share from $0.25 to $0.125.  This matching offer was fully subscribed so that Terry Anderton transferred 609,349 shares to investors, and Aureus Investments L.C. transferred 795,651 shares to investors.
 
In 2011, Chris Outwater, who has provided intellectual property consulting services to Trunity and who joined our Board following the Merger, entered into a stock swap transaction with our founders whereby he exchanged 500,000 founders shares of his company Liberty Plugins Inc. for 500,000 founders shares of Trunity held by Les Anderton, Terry Anderton and Joakim Lindblom in the amount of 200,000, 200,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively.  Mr. Outwater has been paid approximately $5,000 for his consulting services to date.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company is not party to any disputes or legal proceedings at the time of this Report.
 
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

BTI’s common stock was included on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “BNTE”.  Because of the lack of trading volume in BTI’s stock and, after the Merger, our stock, no trading history is being presented.  There can be no assurance that a significant trading market for our stock will ever develop.  As a result of the Merger, our common stock has replaced the BTI stock on the OTCBB under the same symbol.  We expect to change the symbol in February 2012.
 
Dividends
 
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock.  The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.  Subject to the limitations described below, the holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive only such dividends (cash or otherwise) as may (or may not) be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.
 
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
We have sold securities only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since Trunity’s inception on July 28, 2009:
 
Shortly after the formation of the Company, a total of 7,300,667 shares were issued to founders of the Company and others at the direction of the founders.

During 2009, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $460,000 through the sale of 880,000 shares of its common stock to accredited investors in a private placement at an average price of $0.52 per share. The Company incurred stock issuance costs in the period that totaled $40,825 of which $30,825 was from the issuance of 33,333 shares to brokers in exchange for services related to the offering.

During 2010, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $653,000 through the sale of 1,282,005 shares of its common stock to accredited investors in a private placement at an average price of $0.51 per share. The Company incurred stock issuance costs in 2010 that totaled $12,160.

During 2011, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 million through the sale of 6,857,538 shares of its common stock to accredited investors in a private placement at an average price of $0.26 per share.  The Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $112,000 consisting chiefly of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.  In addition to the cash issuance costs, 1,698,318 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the lead advisor, MAS, for services pursuant to a contractual arrangement.

During 2009, the Company issued 822,000 shares of common stock related to the sale of $616,500 in principal amount of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes. The value of these shares was determined to be $411,082 and was recorded as an increase in stockholders’ equity and discount to notes payable.

In 2011, the Company converted all of its long-term debt to shares of its common stock.  These conversions happened throughout 2011 and are summarized in the table below.

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a payment agreement and mutual release with an investment-banking firm that had been hired to provide strategic guidance and secure investors in the Company. The settlement calls for the Company to pay the firm $25,000 upon the Company’s next capital raise, and to issue the firm 100,000 shares of common stock.  The Company valued the shares at $0.25 and has reflected this $50,000 total settlement as an administrative expense in the statement of operations. The Company expects to issue these shares to the investment firm in early 2012.

ITEM 4.01   CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
 
(a) Previous Independent Accountants
 
On January 24, 2012, upon closing of the Merger, the Board of Directors of the Company approved changing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from Madsen & Associates CPAs, Inc., Murray, Utah   (“Madsen”) to Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, L.L.P., Fort Lauderdale, Florida (“CBH”). The dismissal of Madsen, as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, was effective immediately.
 
Madsen’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, and for the period from July 26, 1983 (date of inception) to June 30, 2011 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
 
During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and through January 24, 2012, there were no disagreements between the Company and Madsen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Madsen, would have caused Madsen to make reference thereto in its report on the financial statements for such years.
 
During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and through January 24, 2012, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company has provided a copy of the disclosures above to Madsen and requested Madsen to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Madsen agrees with the foregoing statements and, if not, the respects in which it disagrees. A copy of the letter from Madsen to the Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
 
(b) New Independent Accountants
 
On January 24, 2012, the Company engaged CBH as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and the subsequent interim period through January 24, 2012, the Company did not consult with CBH regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

As a result of the closing of the Merger, the former shareholders of Trunity, Inc., own 99% of the total outstanding shares of THI capital stock and 99% of the total voting power of all of THI’s outstanding voting securities.   In addition, Trunity’s officers and directors became THI’s officers and directors.

EIGHT:  The total number of shares of stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 250,000,000 shares, divided into two classes of stock designated respectively “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock”, both of which shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share.  The number of shares of Common Stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is 200,000,000 shares. The number of shares of Preferred Stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares.
 
The Board of Directors of this corporation is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law and the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon including, but not limited to, the determination of dividend, voting, liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, preferences and limitations and any other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights.

(B) Indemnification.
 
1.           Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but in the case of any such amendment only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities, and loss including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
2.           Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but in the case of any such amendment only to be the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and loss including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification pursuant to this Section (B) 2 may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
 
 
3

 
 
The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 10 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation any expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the General Corporation Law of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of any undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
 
If a claim under Section (B) 1 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within 45 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its Stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its Stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
 
The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of  the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, agreement(s), vote of Stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
 
The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

ELEVEN:  At any regularly scheduled meeting of Stockholders, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been brought before the meeting (a) by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors, or (b) by any Stockholder of the corporation who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Article 11.  For a proposal to be properly brought before a meeting by a Stockholder, the Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive office of the corporation no less than 60 days prior to the scheduled meeting, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of that meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made, notice by the Stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered or received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which such notice of the date of the scheduled meeting was mailed or the day on which such public disclosure was made. A Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting: (a) a brief description of the proposal desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the Stockholder proposing such business and any other Stockholder known by such Stockholder to be supporting such proposal; (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation’s stock which are beneficially owned by the Stockholder on the date of such Stockholder’s notice and by any other Stockholders known by such Stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the date of such Stockholder notice; and (d) any financial interest of the Stockholder making the proposal or any other Stockholder known by such Stockholder to be supporting the proposal.
 
The presiding officer of the meeting shall determine and declare at or before the meeting whether the Stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the terms of this Article 9.  If the presiding officer determines that a Stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this Article 9, he or she shall so declare at the meeting and any such proposal shall not be acted upon at the meeting.
 
This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the meeting of reports of officers, directors and committees of the Board, but, in connection with such reports, no new business shall be acted upon at such meeting unless stated, filed and received as herein provided.
 
 
5

 
 
TWELVE:  No stockholder shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or receive additional shares of any class of stock, whether now or hereafter authorized, or any bonds, debentures or securities convertible into stock. Any such issuance of stock or securities convertible into stock shall be as directed by the Board of Directors, upon such terms as in its discretion it shall deem advisable.
 
THIRTEEN:  This Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend, modify or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware. All rights, preferences and privileges of any nature whatsoever conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whom so ever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the rights reserved in this article.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of January, 2012.

At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
Section 1.5.   Quorum; Required Vote.
 
Except as otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.  In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in these Bylaws until a quorum shall attend.  If no stockholders are present, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, the meeting may adjourn the meeting.
 
Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders.  Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
 
Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, where a separate vote by one or more classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class(es) or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class(es) or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such class(es) or series.

Section 1.7.   Voting; Proxies.
 
Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by the stockholder that has voting power upon the matter in question.  Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy.  Such authorization shall be in writing, which may include an electronic transmission, provided that any such transmission sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder, and a copy of such authorization shall be provided to the Secretary of the Corporation or other person appointed to act as secretary of a meeting of stockholders.  No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.  A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Corporation or other person appointed to act as secretary of a meeting of stockholders.
 
Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and, unless otherwise required by law, need not be conducted by inspectors of election.  In the event the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting directs that a vote be by written ballot, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder.

If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action to be taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (3) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

The Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing herein shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days before the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.  If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.  Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of directors, they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting.  The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Trunity, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Trunity, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from July 28, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010.  Trunity, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included 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 audit provides 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 Trunity, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from July 28, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010

Note 1 – Nature of Business

Trunity, Inc. (“We” or “the Company”) is a “C” Corporation organized under the Laws of Delaware with principal offices in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was formed on July 28, 2009 to develop a cloud-based knowledge sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, customer experience and education marketplace. The Company formed though the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development of its platform.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

Development Stage Operations - The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development.

Going Concern - The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. In 2010 and 2011, the Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized either ratably over the period of the related contract or as services are performed.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are capitalized, while replacement, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (continued) -   using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.   For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2010. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are expected to be minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. The tax years 2009 and 2010 are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Research and Development Costs - The Company capitalizes research and development related to the development of its software platform. Research and development costs not associated with the development of the software platform are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company capitalized approximately $342,000 of internal development costs.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to expense the fair value of stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value, and expected volatility of its shares. Therefore, as allowed for non-public entities, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of stock compensation.

Convertible Debt - The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value of conversion features of its debt which allows holders to convert holdings into common shares of the Company. It has therefore elected to account for these conversion rights using the intrinsic value method.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants - The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stockholders’ Equity - Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

Common stock share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 3 reverse stock split that occurred in 2011, as required by ASC Topic 505-20 (see Note 13).

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are recorded at cost and consist of the Trunity Platform software development costs. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled approximately $689,000.

Financial Instruments and Fair Values - The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.

The carrying amount of cash, trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.

Subsequent events - Subsequent events were evaluated through November 8, 2011, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets which removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) and clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance about the accounting for revenue contracts containing multiple elements, allowing the use of companies’ estimated selling prices as the value for deliverable elements under certain circumstances and to eliminate the use of the residual method for allocation of deliverable elements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect that this standard will have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements, including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This update had no impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU 2010-20”). This ASU requires enhanced disclosures with disaggregated information regarding the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. The update also requires disclosure of credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of financing receivables. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this ASU beginning with its annual reporting period ended December 31, 2010. This new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, “ Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method”, which provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with prospective application. Early adoption is permitted with specific provisions. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.

Trunity, LLC Note - Trunity, LLC was formed by the three founders of the Company to acquire the technology platform used by the Company. The assets of Trunity, LLC, which consisted chiefly of the rights to the technology platform, was sold to the Company for $1.8 million in the form of a Note bearing interest of 8% payable with 120 monthly installments, maturing in June 2019. No payments have been made on this note through December 31, 2010.

In July 2011, all principal due on this note was converted to common shares of the Company and distributed to the three owners of Trunity, LLC.

Notes Payable to Founders -   In 2009, the Company entered into line of credit agreements with two of the founders to borrow up to $0.9 million, as needed, to fund working capital needs of the Company. These notes carried an interest rate of 10% and were to expire in September and December 2012. During 2010, approximately $0.5 million was borrowed by the Company under these agreements. No repayments were made on these Notes through December 31, 2010.

In July 2011, all principal and interest due on these notes was converted to shares of common stock in the Company.

8% Convertible Promissory Notes - In 2009, the Company completed an offering of $616,500 in principal amount of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes. The notes had a maturity of July 1, 2014, and accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable maturity or conversion.

Notes To The Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
Note 6 – Notes Payable (continued)

8% Convertible Promissory Notes (continued) - The notes included conversion features that allowed holders to convert their holdings to shares of the Company’s stock upon:
 
 
A qualified financing event (defined as the sale of $1 million or greater of equity securities), debt automatically converts at a price equivalent to the offering price.
 
At the discretion of the debt holder for a fixed price of $1 per share.
 
Upon change of control of the Company, the debt holder could convert at fixed price of $1 per share.
 
Using the intrinsic value method, the Company determined that these conversion features had no value upon issuance or at December 31, 2010.

In consideration for the purchase of the notes, the investors received 4 shares of the Company’s common stock for every dollar invested in this offering. A total of 822,000 shares (2,466,000 shares as adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split in 2011) were issued to the Note purchasers. The Company determined that the value of these shares were $0.1667 per share, or $411,082 in total, and has accounted for these shares as a note discount to be amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

In February 2011, these notes and accrued but unpaid interest were automatically converted to common shares upon the completion of a qualified financing event.

9% Convertible Promissory Notes - In December 2009, the Company began an offering of 9% Convertible Promissory Notes. The notes had 5 year maturities from date issued, and interest on the notes accrued at the rate of 9% per annum and was paid monthly. The offering concluded in 2010 raising a total of $437,500. These notes included conversion features that allowed holders to convert their debt to Company’s stock within the first 3 years:
 
 
In years 1 and 2 notes were convertible at a price of $2 per share.
 
In year 3 notes were convertible a price of $3 per share.
 
Using the intrinsic value method, the Company determined that these conversion features had no value upon issuance or at December 31, 2010.

In April 2011, these notes were converted to common shares upon a special offer to convert the debt which all debt holders exercised.

Note Sold to an Outside Investor - In October 2010, the Company issued a single $50,000 promissory note to an investor.  The note called for fixed interest of $5,000 per month. This note had a maturity of January 8, 2011. Additionally, 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of Company stock were issued to this investor. See note 9 below, for a description of these warrants. In August 2011, this note with accrued but unpaid interest was converted to common shares.

Interest expense recognized on the above notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $416,600.

Note 8 – Stock Options

In 2009, the Company approved the 2009 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan and authorized an option pool of 5,500,000 shares. Stock options typically vest over a 3 year period and have a life of 10 years from the date granted.  In 2009, the Company accelerated the option vesting of certain employees who terminated their employment, but, agreed to work in a consulting capacity. In   exchange for the accelerated vesting, the employees agreed to shorter expiration periods for their options.  In 2010, the Company issued options to employees and consultants of the company to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share.

A summary of options issued, exercised and expired for the period ended December 31, 2010 is as follows (shares have been retroactively adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split in 2011):

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company did not provide a current U.S. federal or state income tax provision or benefit for the period presented because it has experienced operating losses. The Company recognized deferred tax assets, primarily for the benefit to be realized from offsetting its current net operating loss to taxable income in future periods. However, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, because evidence does not indicate that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized.
 
At December 31, 2010, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:
 
Net operating loss carryforward
  $ 1,779,738  
Less: valuation allowance
    (1,779,738 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $  
 
The Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to the loss from operations primarily because of the effect of the state tax benefit, net of federal benefit, and the change in the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $3.9 million that can be carried forward for up to twenty years and deducted against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2030 and may be subject to certain limitations under federal and state tax laws. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $985,000.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Trunity, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Trunity, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the period from July 28, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2009. Trunity, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 audit provides 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 Trunity, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 28, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
Note 1 – Nature of Business
 
Trunity, Inc. (“We” or “the Company”) is a “C” Corporation organized under the Laws of Delaware with principal offices in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was formed on July 28, 2009 to develop a cloud-based knowledge sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, customer experience and education marketplace. The Company formed though the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development ofits platform.
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Accounting -The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.
 
Development Stage Operations - The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development.
 
Going Concern - The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. In 2010 and 2011, the Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
Revenue Recognition - During the period from July 28, 2009 to December 31, 2009, the Company had no revenue.In future periods, revenue will be recognized either ratably over the period of the related contract or as services are performed.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are capitalized, while replacement, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) . Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.
 
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized.Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.
 
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2009. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are expected to be minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. The tax year 2009 is subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
 
Research and Development Costs - The Company capitalizes research and development related to the development of its software platform. Research and development costs not associated with the development of the software platform are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. For the period ended December 31, 2009 the Company capitalized approximately $122,000 of internal development costs.
 
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to expense the fair value of stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value, and expected volatility of its shares. Therefore,as allowed for non-public entities, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of stock compensation.
 
Convertible Debt - The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815,”Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value of conversion features of its debt which allows holders to convert holdings into common shares of the Company. It has therefore elected to account for these conversion rights using the intrinsic value method.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
   
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Stockholders’ Equity - Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.
 
Common stock share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 3 reverse stock split that occurred in 2011, as required in ASC Topic 505-20 (see Note 13).
 
Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are recorded at cost and consist of the Trunity Platform software development costs. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years. Amortization expense for the period from July 28, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2009 totaled $305,985.
 
Financial Instruments and Fair Values - The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.
 
The carrying amount of cash, trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.
 
Subsequent Events - Subsequent events were evaluated through November 8, 2011, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
 
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets which removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) and clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This new accounting guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This new accounting guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance about the accounting for revenue contracts containing multiple elements, allowing the use of companies’ estimated selling prices as the value for deliverable elements under certain circumstances and to eliminate the use of the residual method for allocation of deliverable elements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect that this standard will have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The assets of Trunity, LLC, which consisted chiefly of the rights to the technology platform, was sold to the Company for $1.8 million in the form of a Note bearing interest of 8% payable with 120 monthly installments, maturing in June 2019. No payments have been made on this note during 2009.
 
In July 2011, all principal due on this note was converted to common shares of the Company and distributed to the three owners of Trunity, LLC.
 
Notes Payable to Founders - During 2009, the Company entered into line of credit agreements with two of the founders to borrow up to $0.9 million, as needed, to fund working capital needs of the Company. These notes carried an interest rate of 10% and were to expire in September and December 2012. During 2009, approximately $0.3 million was borrowed by the Company under these agreements. No repayments were made on these Notes during 2009.
 
In July 2011, all principal and interest due on these notes was converted to shares of common stock in the Company.
 
8% Convertible Promissory Notes - During 2009, the Company completed an offering of $616,500 in principal amount of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes. The notes had a maturity of July 1, 2014, and accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable maturity or conversion.
 
The notes included conversion features that allowed holders to convert their holdings to shares of the Company’s stock upon:
 
 
·
A qualified financing event (defined as the sale of $1 million or greater of equity securities), debt automatically converts at a price equivalent to the offering price.
 
·
At the discretion of the debt holder for a fixed price of $1 per share.
 
·
Upon change of control of the Company, the debt holder could convert at fixed price of $1 per share.

Using the intrinsic value method, the Company determined that these conversion features had no value upon issuance or at December 31, 2009.
 
In consideration for the purchase of the notes, the investors received 4 shares of the Company’s common stock for every dollar invested in this offering. A total of 822,000 shares (2,466,000 shares as adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split in 2011) were issued to the Note purchasers. The Company determined that the value of these shares were $0.1667 per share, or $411,082 in total, and has accounted for these shares as a note discount to be amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.
 
In February 2011, these notes and accrued but unpaid interest were automatically converted to common shares upon the completion of a qualified financing event.

Note 9 – Stock Options (continued)
 
At December 31, 2009, there was approximately $104,000 in compensation cost related to nonvested awards that has not yet been recognized. The weighted-average period over which this cost is expected to be recognized is 2.62 years.
 
Note 10 – Income Taxes
 
The Company did not provide a current U.S. federal or state income tax provision or benefit for the period presented because it has experienced operating losses. The Company recognized deferred tax assets, primarily for the benefit to be realized from offsetting its current net operating loss to taxable income in future periods. However, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets,, because evidence does not indicate that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized.
 
At December 31, 2009, deferred tax assets, calculated at an effective tax rate of 39.4%, consisted of the following:
 
Net operating loss carryforward
  $ 794,457  
Less: valuation allowance
    (794,457 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $  
 
The Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to the loss from operations primarily because of the effect of the state tax benefit, net of federal benefit, and the change in the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets.
 
At December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $2 million that can be carried forward for up to twenty years and deducted against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2029 and may be subject to certain limitations under federal and state tax laws.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
Note 1 – Nature of Business

Trunity, Inc. (“We” or “the Company”) is a “C” Corporation organized under the Laws of Delaware with principal offices in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was formed on July 28, 2009 to develop a cloud-based knowledge sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, customer experience and education marketplace. The Company formed though the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development of its platform.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

Development Stage Operations - The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development.

Going Concern - The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue model consists of Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and hosting revenue, for sites using the Company’s platform, as well as consulting, and advertising revenue.  All SaaS Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Consulting revenues are earned for web site development services and are recognized on a time and materials basis, billed in accordance with contractual milestones negotiated with the customer.  Revenues are recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In such contracts, revenue is earned upon achievement of certain milestones indicated in the client agreements.  Services under these contracts are typically provided in less than a year and represent the contractual milestones or output measure, which reflect the earnings pattern.
 
Advertising revenue is earned from search engine providers based on search activity for sites hosted by the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010

 
Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as Unbilled Revenue (an asset). Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as Deferred Revenue (a liability) until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents may include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value due to interest rate, market price, or penalty on withdrawal. Amounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for daily liquidity without penalty, are classified as Cash and cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable - We estimate credit loss reserves for accounts receivable on an individual receivable basis. A specific impairment allowance reserve is established based on expected future cash flows and the financial condition of the debtor.  We charge off customer balances in part or in full when it is more likely than not that we will not collect that amount of the balance due.  We consider any balance unpaid after the contract payment period to be past due.  We believe all accounts receivable due at December 31, 2011 and 2010 to be collectible.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally three to seven years). Expenditures for major betterments and additions are capitalized, while replacement, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Deposits - In April 2011, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase a majority ownership stake in another company. The terms of this agreement call for certain actions to be undertaken by both parties. In 2011, the Company has made deposits of $175,000 pursuant to this agreement.  These deposits are not refundable in the event that either party does not or cannot fulfill its required actions.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.   For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2011. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are expected to be minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. The tax years 2009, 2010 and 2011 are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Taxes on Revenue Producing Transactions – The Company earns revenues through various services.  Service revenue is taxable in some jurisdictions throughout the United States and The Company could be responsible for collecting those taxes subject to state or local requirements.  The Company is not aware of any transactions which would necessitate the fiduciary responsibility of collecting and remitting sales based taxes.

Research and Development Costs - The Company capitalizes research and development related to the development of its software platform. Research and development costs not associated with the development of the software platform are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company capitalized approximately $160,000 and $342,000 of internal development costs, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to expense the fair value of stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value, and expected volatility of its shares. Therefore, as allowed for non-public entities, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of stock compensation.

Convertible Debt – The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As the Company is in the development stage, it was unable to reasonably determine the fair value of conversion features of its debt that allows holders to convert holdings into common shares of the Company. It therefore elected to account for these conversion rights using the intrinsic value method.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants - The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and convertible debt, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010

Stockholders’ Equity - Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

Common stock share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 3 reverse stock split that occurred in 2011, as required by ASC Topic 505-20 (see Note 7).

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are recorded at cost and consist of the Trunity Platform software development costs. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $773,000 and $689,000, respectively.

Financial Instruments and Fair Values - The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.  In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:

Level 1 — inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

Level 2 — inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.

Level 3 — inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significance in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment.

The carrying amount of cash, trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.  Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management uses Level 1 valuation methodology.

The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.  Because there is no ready market or observable transactions, management uses Level 3 valuation methodology for all other financial instruments.

Subsequent events - Subsequent events were evaluated through January 17, 2012, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets which removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) and clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance about the accounting for revenue contracts containing multiple elements, allowing the use of companies’ estimated selling prices as the value for deliverable elements under certain circumstances and to eliminate the use of the residual method for allocation of deliverable elements. This guidance was adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2011. This update had no impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements, including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2010. This update had no impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU 2010-20”). This ASU requires enhanced disclosures with disaggregated information regarding the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. The update also requires disclosure of credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of financing receivables. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this ASU beginning with its annual reporting period ended December 31, 2010. This new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, “ Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method”, which provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with prospective application. Early adoption is permitted with specific provisions. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
At December 31, 2011 the notes payable to founders consists of short-term loans with the three founders. There are no documented terms for these loans. The Company has treated the loans as interest free as it expects to repay them in a short period of time.
 
8% Convertible Promissory Notes - In 2009, the Company completed an offering of $616,500 in principal amount of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes. The notes had a maturity of July 1, 2014, and accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable maturity or conversion.

The notes included conversion features that allowed holders to convert their holdings to shares of the Company’s stock upon:
 
·  
A qualified financing event (defined as the sale of $1 million or greater of equity securities), debt automatically converts at a price equivalent to the offering price.
·  
At the discretion of the debt holder for a fixed price of $1 per share.
·  
Upon change of control of the Company, the debt holder could convert at fixed price of $1 per share.

Using the intrinsic value method, the Company determined that these conversion features had no value upon issuance or at December 31, 2010.

In consideration for the purchase of the notes, the investors received 4 shares of the Company’s common stock for every dollar invested in this offering. A total of 822,000 shares (2,466,000 shares as adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split in 2011) were issued to the Note purchasers. The Company determined that the value of these shares was $0.1667 per share, or $411,082 in total, and has accounted for these shares as a note discount to be amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

In February 2011, these notes and accrued but unpaid interest were automatically converted to common shares upon the completion of a qualified financing event.

9% Convertible Promissory Notes - In December 2009, the Company began an offering of 9% Convertible Promissory Notes. The notes had 5 year maturities from date issued, and interest on the notes accrued at the rate of 9% per annum and was paid monthly. The offering concluded in 2010 raising a total of $437,500. These notes included conversion features that allowed holders to convert their debt to Company’s stock within the first 3 years:

·  
In years 1 and 2 notes were convertible at a price of $2 per share.
·  
In year 3 notes were convertible a price of $3 per share.

Using the intrinsic value method, the Company determined that these conversion features had no value upon issuance or at December 31, 2010.

In April 2011, these notes were converted to common shares upon a special offer to convert the debt which all debt holders exercised.

Note 8 – Stock Options
 
In 2009, the Company approved the 2009 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (The Plan) and authorized an option pool of 5,500,000 shares. Stock options typically vest over a 3 year period and have a life of 10 years from the date granted.  In 2009, the Company accelerated the option vesting of certain employees who terminated their employment, but agreed to work in a consulting capacity. In   exchange for the accelerated vesting, the employees agreed to shorter expiration periods for their options.  In 2011, the Company issued options to employees of the company to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices of $0.30 and $0.25 per share.

Upon exercise of options by any Employee, Director or Consultant, the Company will retire the options and issue common shares commensurate with the plan. That transaction will record any cash received, the termination of options, and the issuance of common shares and related paid-in capital.  The Company will not recognize any income or expense upon option conversion.

A summary of options issued, exercised and expired for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 is as follows (shares have been retroactively adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split in 2011):

Note 9 – Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

In connection with the issuance of some Notes and the sale of shares of common stock in 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase 189,150 shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise price of $3.00 per share, as adjusted for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split that occurred in 2011. These warrants are all still outstanding as of December 31, 2011, and expire at various dates in 2013. Based on the intrinsic valuation method, the warrants were determined to have no fair value at the time issued and at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

A summary of warrants issued, exercised and expired for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 is as follows:

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company did not provide a current U.S. federal or state income tax provision or benefit for the period presented because it has experienced operating losses. The Company recognized deferred tax assets, primarily for the benefit to be realized from offsetting its current net operating loss to taxable income in future periods. However, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, because evidence does not indicate that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized.
 
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:
 
December 31,   2011     2010  
             
Net operating loss carryforward   $ 1,985,700     $ 1,779,738  
Less: valuation allowance     (1,985,700 )     (1,779,738 )
Net deferred tax asset   $     $  
 
T he Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to the loss from operations primarily because of the effect of the state tax benefit, net of federal benefit, and the change in the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets.
 
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $7.1 and $3.9 million, respectively.   These losses can be carried forward for up to twenty years and deducted against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2031 and may be subject to certain limitations under federal and state tax laws. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $206,000.
