This Report on Form 10-K including our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act).

 

Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include the Company’s limited operating history; its limited financial resources; the Tarsin bankruptcy including the possible loss of the CAPSA platform; international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage or forecast growth; our failure to correctly anticipate market trends; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government laws and regulations; adverse publicity; competition including the activities of competitors and the presence of new or additional competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy; or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

  

Although the forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-K reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this filing.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

 

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” and subsequent to the reverse merger, the “Company”), formerly known as Implex Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2005. On April 9, 2009, Holdings changed its name to Consorteum Holdings, Inc. Our corporate headquarters are located at 6-14845 Yonge Street, Suite#348, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, L4G6H8.   Our telephone number is (775) 298-7001.

 

We provided systems integration of electronic transaction processing solutions to public and private sector companies initially to the following population groups or to the following industries: First Nations of Canada, golf clubs, owners and participating golf courses.  Our services provided were designed to be customized, innovative technology solutions that create, augment, and enhance customers existing financial, payment and transactional processing systems. The Company has a MasterCard © BIN (“Issuer Identification Number”) License and can utilize this license to issue card programs under the MasterCard © brand.
 

In June 2009, we closed an exchange agreement with Consorteum Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Consorteum Sub”), pursuant to which Consorteum Sub became our wholly owned subsidiary.  As a result of the exchange, we became a holding company and our business was conducted through Consorteum Sub.  

 

On June 6, 2011, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, as amended, with Media Exchange Group, Inc. (“MEXI”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to buy, transfer and assign to the Company, and MEXI has agreed to sell all of the rights, title and interests to, and agreements relating to, its digital trading card business and platform, as well as all other intangible assets of the business in exchange for the Company assuming an aggregate principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $2.1 million of indebtedness of MEXI in accordance with the terms of that certain assignment and assumption agreement executed on June 6, 2011.  On July 14, 2011, the Company completed its due diligence and finalized the asset purchase agreement with MEXI. A majority shareholder of MEXI and the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Director and Chairman of the Board of MEXI (who resigned on June 3, 2011) organized the asset purchase agreement with MEXI. The transaction between MEXI and the Company was deemed consummated between two entities under common control and the transfer of assets was recorded at historical cost.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed convertible notes amounting to $2,073,646 of MEXI (principal and accrued interest as of July 2011), and accordingly, recorded a corresponding charge in the deficit accumulated during the development stage in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

On October 4, 2011, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Tarsin LTD, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, whereby we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Tarsin, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tarsin”), for a total of 100,000,000 shares of our common stock.  Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Tarsin LTD further agreed to grant to us an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide perpetual license to use, distribute, and sell its CAPSA Mobile Platform technology (“CAPSA”). See below for discussion of termination of the acquisition agreement and acquisition of a license agreement with Tarsin.

 

In November 2011, the board of directors approved an amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, whereby the designations of Series A and Series B preferred stock were established, and the number of Series A preferred shares to be issued at 5,000,000 and the number of Series B preferred shares to be issued at 15,000,000 were set. The rights and privileges of the Series A shares consist of super voting rights at 200 votes per share held, conversion rights on a one-to-one basis with common stock, and liquidation preference as described below. The rights and privileges of the Series B shares consist of voting rights equal to one vote per share held, conversion rights equal to Series A and liquidation preference as described below. 

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any common stock or Series B preferred stock liquidation preference, the holders of the Series A preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the original amount paid by the holder thereof for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned by such holder as of the effective date of such liquidation, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned of record by such holder as of the liquidation date (as adjusted for any combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like with respect to such shares).  Series B preferred stock is next in liquidation preference after the Series A preferred stock, and is computed consistently with the formula above for the Series A preferred stock.

  

On May 18, 2012, Mr. Joseph A. Cellura was removed from his position as a CEO, director and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Consorteum. Mr. Cellura’s removal was accomplished through a written consent dated as of May 18, 2012 in lieu of a meeting. In the same Written Consent Mr. Craig A. Fielding, the sole remaining director of the Company was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective May 18, 2012. In addition to Mr. Craig A. Fielding’s resumption of his positions as CEO and President of our Company and Chairman of our Board of Directors, Mr. Fielding is also our Principal Financial Officer, and continues as CEO of Consorteum Sub.

 

The Series A & B Preferred Stock has been reflected as issued and outstanding as the Board of Directors held control and authorization of such shares. The Board of Directors approved the issuing of the super-voting Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to Craig Fielding and Pat Shuster.

On September 21, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved designations for Series C Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, we filed the designations with Nevada Secretary of State to reserve 40,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The shares are voting, will pay no dividend, each share is convertible into four (4) shares of common stock, and have a liquidation preference after the Series A & B Preferred Stock. No Series C shares have been issued to date.

 

In January 2012, the Company was informed that its licensing agreement with aVinci Media Inc. to market its products under the “myESPN” brand was no longer viable due to the announced Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing of aVinci Media Inc., a Nevada corporation. aVinci Media had previously entered into a Licensing Agreement with Media Exchange Group Inc., (“MEXI”) a Nevada corporation to grant MEXI a license to develop products under the myESPN brand. The licensing agreement was subsequently acquired by the Company as part of its announced Acquisition Agreement with Media Exchange Group, in July 2011. The Company subsequently evaluated the business potential associated with this licensing agreement in connection with one of its projects, the Digital Trading Card, and elected to focus its sales and marketing efforts on other projects and discontinue any work associated with the Digital Trading Card.

 

In June 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Marksal Communications Inc. (“Marksal”), a Canadian corporation, to create a joint venture in order to meet growing demand for next generation telecommunication and financial transaction services focused across the North America and international markets. Due to the delay in securing funding, the Company has elected to suspend any activities with the joint venture at this time. Upon completion of funding the Company intends to revisit the business case drivers that were the basis of this joint venture.

 

The Company was unable to secure the necessary funding to complete the acquisition of Tarsin. Although we raised capital of $162,500, which was used to fund the working capital needs of Tarsin during 2012, ultimately we were not able to fulfill all of the requirements as prescribed in the Tarsin Acquisition Agreement dated October 4, 2011.

 

In July 2012, the Company entered into new negotiations with Tarsin Inc. in order to reach an agreement that would preserve the value of the CAPSA platform as developed by Tarsin and allow the Company to leverage its relationships with existing Canadian based casinos and resorts as customers that could utilize the CAPSA platform to provide mobile wagering and gaming to their customers. On October 10, 2012, the Company reached a new exclusive licensing agreement with Tarsin that allows the Company to license the CAPSA platform to sell mobile gaming and wagering programs throughout Canada, Mexico, as well as certain customers in the United States. We ultimately wish to expand in Latin America, China and Europe. The Company agreed to unwind its Acquisition Agreement previously entered into. In connection therewith, the Company advanced monies for the license totaling approximately $234,000, loans totaling $423,100 and consulting fees to Tarsin’s president totaling approximately $73,000 through June 30, 2013. Tarsin Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Northern District of California. The Company is a creditor in this Case No. 13-53607. Until the outcome of this case is clear, the Company has elected to reserve the entire amount of this receivable.

 

In July 2012, we entered into negotiations with Knockout Gaming Limited (“Knockout”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Isle of Man, to resell their online gaming licensed platform, Fireplay. We intend to enter into a licensing and reselling agreement once Knockout launches their platform. Since that time, we paid $180,432 to Knockout as an interim payment against a future equity position in Knockout. Post funding as discussed in Items 1 and 7, we intend to purchase up to a 10% equity position in Knockout pending further due diligence.

 

In March 2013, we entered into negotiations with Knockout Entertainment (“KOE”), a Nevada corporation, for a future equity position in KOE. Post funding as discussed in Items 1 and 7, we intend to purchase up to a 5% equity position in KOE pending further due diligence. If and when funding is consummated, the Company will undertake further due diligence to determine whether or not the parties will move forward with the proposed transactions. The Company has elected to expense the funds advanced to date.

 

In September 2012, we entered into employment agreements with Mr. Craig Fielding, our CEO and Mr. Pat Shuster, our Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Secretary, which provide cash compensation, signing bonuses in Preferred stock, stock options and bonuses upon achieving revenue milestones through December 31, 2016. See Item 11 below. We believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to retain these individuals.

 

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into a binding term sheet commitment (the “Term Sheet”) for a $30,000,000 funding agreement with AIC Group Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“AIC” or “Funder”). Other than the Term Sheet, there is no other relationship between the registrant and its affiliates and AIC.

The Term Sheet provided that AIC agreed to lend $30,000,000 to the Company in six (6) consecutive monthly installments (the “Loan”) with the first portion of the funding was to begin no later than 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet. The installments will vary in size depending upon the working capital requirements of the Company at the time each installment is due. AIC may extend only the first installment one time for a period of up to 45 days. The Loan will bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning one year from the funding of the first portion of the Loan. The Loan and all remaining accrued and unpaid interest is due and repayable seven (7) years after the first funding installment; provided, however, that the Company may extend the repayment date for two successive one year periods by giving 90 day prior notice to AIC and paying an extension fee of 2% of the principal amount of the Loan to be renewed. If AIC defaults in making any installment of the Loan, then the Loan shall terminate forthwith and the Company shall have no repayment obligation to AIC. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Company will grant AIC a first priority security interest in and to all of its assets including its Intellectual Property (“IP”) as collateral security for the Loan. If the Company defaults in making any repayment of interest or principal or under any other material terms and conditions of the Loan, AIC shall have the rights of a secured party under the security agreement to foreclose on the Company collateral to satisfy the Loan. The Company will pay a total of four percent (4%) of the Loan in origination fees to two consultants as each portion of the Loan is funded, and a one- time administrative fee of $150,000 that will be refunded if the funding of the Loan does not occur as scheduled.

 

AIC had also agreed to use its best efforts to provide directly or through an affiliate a bridge loan for $2,000,000 (the “Bridge Loan”) within sixty (60) days of the execution of the Term Sheet. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and shall be repayable from the first proceeds under the Loan. If the Loan does not proceed, then the Bridge Loan (amended to $4,000,000 on May 22, 2013), if made, will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be repaid in one year from its date and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. The Bridge Loan did not close during the 60-day period, as discussed below.

 

As part of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue to AIC an amount of its shares of common stock as shall equal thirty–five percent (35%) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis (the “AIC Shares”); provided, however, that the issuance of the AIC Shares shall not occur until one year from the date of the first funding of the Loan by AIC to the Company. In the event that the Loan or any portion thereof is not funded as scheduled, the Company shall issue only that portion of the AIC Shares to AIC that is calculated as the percentage of the amount of the Loan actually funded by AIC to the total Loan amount. All of the AIC Shares shall be restricted shares and AIC shall enter into a covenant neither to engage in any short selling nor to sell more than certain specified numbers of its shares during each quarterly period.

 

There are other conditions to the Loan as follows: (1) AIC shall be given the right to designate up to two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors such appointments to be made in time with the funding of the Loan. (2) AIC and the Company shall enter into a Business Services Development Agreement under which AIC will assist and advise the Company in connection with development of its business under its business plan in effect from time to time. (3) The parties will negotiate and execute certain agreements to reflect all of these transactions including a loan agreement, a secured promissory note, a share issuance and shareholders agreement, a convertible bridge note, a business services development agreement, and such other documents as the parties may mutually agree.

 

The AIC Funding was expected to close on or before May 31, 2013. The closing delay was attributable to working through a complex process on the part of several international banks, which represent this transaction and the necessity of working through the due diligence items prior to closing. As a result of the delays, the Company has negotiated an Amendment No. 1 to the Term Sheet dated May 22, 2013 to increase the Bridge Loan from $2 million to $4 million with the remaining funds of $30 million to be paid out over the next six months. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. Ultimately AIC was unable to close this amended round of funding and experienced delays with its original funding partner and subsequently AIC secured an alternative funding partner. AIC has represented to the Company that the funds are now under AIC’s control and AIC is working with its bridge funding partners to provide the bridge financing on or before October 31, 2013. Due to the extreme delays experienced, the Company has informed AIC that should funding not occur as committed to, the Company will pursue all legal remedies available to recover its $150,000 funding deposit as well as damages relating to breach of contract and lost business opportunities. Furthermore, the Company has expensed the financing fees.

 

The Company received approximately $590,000 in cash proceeds in April through June 2013 from an existing convertible note holder with the intent to establish a note and provide for additional advances to the Company.

 

In July 2013 the Company made a decision to recast its business as a provider of digital content across mobile devices. To that end, we retained a senior level software development team. In conjunction therewith, the Company formed two Nevada subsidiaries: Bad Rabbit Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine Inc. Moving forward, ThreeFiftyNine sets out to be a highly differentiated business in the digital space, focusing on cloud infrastructure design, development and deployment, as well as in digital transaction management.

 

The business description below describes our business in greater detail.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Consorteum Holdings Inc. started out as a transaction management company focused on transaction processing solutions and products through a mix of on-deck partnerships, license agreements, and joint venture revenue share arrangements. It operates as a technology and services aggregator to meet the diverse needs of its client base by leveraging a wide range of products and services to develop end-to-end, turn-key card and payment transaction processing solutions. The Company has extensive expertise within the Payments and Transaction Industry in North America and internationally.

 

In 2011, the Company established a working relationship with Tarsin Inc. (a Nevada Corp), dedicated to the delivery of digital media across all mobile devices. The Company realized that a license agreement with Tarsin Inc. would allow us to develop a new generation of digital solutions utilizing secure transactional services that could be tailored specifically to defined geographic locations. At its essence, our ability to operate a platform that allows the delivery of digital content to any mobile device will allow us to develop solutions for many market verticals including medical, banking, and gaming, e-commerce, and government applications.

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada, with three subsidiaries, Bad Rabbit Inc. ThreeFiftyNine Inc. and Consorteum Sub. Our subsidiaries have, at their core, the delivery of digital media across diverse payment and other transactional platforms that are rapidly converging due to advances in smart phone mobile technology.

 

The licensing agreement that we have reached with Tarsin provides the Company with an exclusive right to license the CAPSA software platform in selected geographical markets throughout Canada, and Mexico, along with select customers within the United States and is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. Tarsin’s license agreement provides us with the proven capabilities in the mobile handset market, which we can use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets.  The ability to deliver next generation services to all customers depends on our ability to develop an application that is agnostic to the type of smart phone deployed.  The CAPSA platform was developed with the specific purpose of deploying rich multimedia content across diverse handsets.  We intend to leverage the license agreement with Tarsin in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming vertical to monetize its applications in branded partnership relationships. For more information on Tarsin and the CAPSA license, see below.

 

Combined with our experience in the payment processing and financial transaction markets, we believe that recent advances in technology have enabled smart phones to develop custom applications that will allow the phone to process payments, conduct banking transactions and emulate the traditional role that ATM machines now play.  We intend to leverage our expertise in mobile applications development to target new opportunities to provide traditional banking and payment services to our customers.

 

The formation of ThreeFiftyNineInc. brings in house a world-class software development team that is working to launch a second generation technology platform for the delivery of digital media and content.

 

The Company has faced and may continue to face significant uncertainty relating to liquidity and intends to continue to search for additional sources of working capital, and to actively search for collaborative partners. Many of the existing contracts and initiatives described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K require capital expenditures by Consorteum to move forward and management anticipates that delays in project implementation will continue if funds are not available to it.

 

CAPSA - the Solution for Going Mobile

 

Tarsin’s mobile platform, CAPSA, eases the challenges brands face in mobile.  There is urgency for brands to connect with consumers via mobile - regardless of tighter budgets and higher expectations in the mobile experience.  Unfortunately, today’s current mobile application and content solutions are limited - whether it be in how users can interact, or the number of devices it can actually support. As companies look to mobile strategies, the picture gets extremely cloudy in how to develop a rich mobile offering that can resonate within the mass market. CAPSA is able to take the “how” out of mobile planning, encompassing all the components that allow for a rich mobile experience to be delivered to a handset.  In order to initiate and maintain connections with mobile consumers, it is absolutely critical for its platform to be interoperable between any mobile network and device. This full-service approach redefines how brands develop mobile strategies to strengthen their connections to consumers. Tarsin works with operators and multi-tier networks to successfully execute programs on behalf of brands. Tarsin’s CAPSA platform provides an end-to-end, versatile framework for brands to design once and deliver unparalleled mobile experiences. CAPSA is the first universal mobile content delivery solution available that is based on web-standards and is carrier, operating systems and device agnostic. This allows companies to reach the broadest consumer base: 5200+ devices; 27+ languages; 180+ countries; non-native font support. Today, CAPSA supports millions of mobile consumers, with thousands added daily. Tarsin Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2013 and is in the process of reorganizing its business affairs. Should the license arrangement become impaired in the Tarsin bankruptcy, the Company will continue with its own technology development using its own team.

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

In 2011, smartphone sales surpassed computer sales for the first time. By 2012 desktop and portable computer sales contracted for the first time ever, and smartphone penetration in the US passed 50%. While for manufacturers this represents a notable change in the state of the market, such developments only reinforce our analysis that digital publishing is emerging past the tipping point as a leading mechanism for consumer transactions.

 

While overall retail sales are low, they are proven and represent high growth, with e-Marketer’s report of June 2013 predicting UK mobile sales (m-commerce) of £6.7 billion in 2013 growing to £17 billion in 2017. We believe this trend will continue in other worldwide markets over the coming years.

 

In the U.S. in 2012, there were 105 million mobile Internet subscribers (mobile phones, tablets, etc.). According to eMarketer, that number is poised to grow 24 percent in 2013. By 2016, U.S. mobile Internet subscribers will top 174 million people.

 

The global market has even more room for growth. Morgan Stanley estimates that while there were 1.1 billion global smartphone subscribers in 2012, the average growth rate for the top fifteen countries worldwide was an incredible 42 percent. This growth rate won’t slow soon—market penetration in these same fifteen countries is still only 17 percent of possible mobile subscribers.

 

Worldwide mobile phone users number over 5.5 billion, which provides a huge potential market just for those transitioning from regular mobile phones to smart phones.

 

Following on the heels of proven consumer adoption such as purchasing music, books and films from mobile industry distribution points such as the Apple Appstore, Android Marketplace, and Amazon e-reader, we see the wider business community looking for mechanisms to enter and be present in the space .

 

Utilizing the capability of the ThreeFiftyNine development team, we will be able to develop applications, which encompass all the components that allow for a rich mobile experience to be delivered to a handset.  In order to initiate and maintain connections with mobile consumers, we believe it is absolutely critical for our platform to be interoperable between any mobile network and device. This full-service approach redefines how brands develop mobile strategies to strengthen their connections to consumers.  While video and picture sharing on the Internet have been around for some time now, the task can be cumbersome and frustrating on most mobile devices.  Multiple carriers and phone types with limited or no interoperability can make this potentially powerful communications tool languish in the background while texting and social networking Internet sites continue to grow and thrive.  Compounding this problem is the continuing trend for mobile phone equipment manufacturers to offer new phones with additional capabilities while the mobile phone carriers are enhancing their 3G and 4G networks to allow users to take advantage of these capabilities.

 

Existing Solutions and Limitations

 

Multimedia Messaging Service

 

One possible solution is the use of MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) to send pictures and videos.  MMS is a standard developed by the Open Mobile Alliance, an industry consortium.  MMS can be an effective way to send pictures from one person to another, but as the mobile experience moves from photo to videos and more importantly from point to point communication to social networks, MMS may begin to encounter substantial scalability issues.  MMS approaches sending of rich media with a lowest common denominator to provide a video experience that will be common across handsets rather than providing the best possible experience a handset can provide.  More specifically, MMS does not work consistently for video.

 

Other limitations of MMS include:

 

  a. File size limitation.  MMS videos are generally limited in duration by file size.  Limits include 10, 15, or 30 second duration for video, and file size is often limited to 100, 200, or 300 Kbytes.  These limits can be imposed both by carriers and by handset makers.

 

  b. MMS video is not stored in “The Cloud.”  An MMS file is generally not accessed easily from a PC.  If the mobile phone user switches to another handset, that user must often first manually transfer the MMS picture or video to PC and then transfer it back to the new handset, a cumbersome process.

 

  c. Conversation limitations. MMS does not allow a fluid interface for back and forth “video conversations.” You cannot easily comment on someone’s MMS video.

 

  d. Difficulty interfacing with social networks.  While it is possible to post an MMS picture or video to a Facebook or Twitter account, it does not lend itself to a feature- rich mobile experience.
     
  e. Standard setting delays.  As new technologies to enhance MMS are developed, their adoption will be governed by the MMS standards setting process. This is likely to result in significant delays in enhancement, implementation, and evolution of the technology.

 

  f. Video on Mobile Phones.  Most major manufacturers of mobile phones already have, or plan to, deliver handsets with video capabilities into the market, often with multiple tiers of devices with unique profiles.  Dozens of companies have developed and continue to maintain databases that capture the differences between handsets, at significant expense.

Smartphones:

 

Smartphones have emerged as a fast growing sector of the market, blending multi-media, data and internet access and mobile communications. The smartphone market, most of which by definition is media enabled, will be a growth market that will allow carriers to add a variety of revenue streams attached to data and multi-media messaging.  The market, demand for video sharing services will grow dramatically.  Mobile phone equipment manufacturers continue to offer new phones with additional capabilities while the mobile phone carriers will need to enhance their 3G and 4G networks to allow users to take advantage of these capabilities.
 

Video and Picture Sharing Approaches.  The current market is highly fragmented, with many companies and organizations offering service for the mobile phone video and picture market.

 

Generally, these services fall under five categories:

 

  1. MMS, which was described earlier.
  2. Mobile-to-Web, where mobile phone users post their pictures or videos on a Website to share with others.  This category has a number of participants, and there is little product differentiation between and among them.
  3. Web-to-Mobile, when pictures or videos are posted on Websites and then shared to phones using an open or proprietary application.  This category may require a relationship with a carrier and also has a number of participants.
  4. Proprietary Mobile-to-Mobile, where the user utilizes a proprietary application to send pictures or video from one phone to another.  A carrier relationship may be required for this service.
  5. Open Mobile-to-Mobile, where no proprietary application is required, nor is a carrier relationship.

 

While the entire market is nascent, leaders will emerge based on their brand recognition, number, or users in their network, ease of use and financial resources. Additionally, many of these services are free while others charge a use or monthly fee.  Others appear to be focused on an advertising based model. At this time, the size of the market is indeterminable but is generally thought to be growing and viable.  The size and ultimate viability of the market will be based on the ease of use, cost to use, adoption rate of smartphones and the acceptance of brands where mobile content delivery is a viable advertising medium.

 

COMPETITION

 

The last year saw further evidence of continuing morphing, merging and re-fragmentation in the digital space. HTML5 readiness for simple apps improved, but the open-source standard is still not “standardized”, and we believe it will never offer answers for complex regulatory standards. Apple has further fragmented its once consolidated technology proposition with the introduction of the new iPad, the iPad mini, the retina display technology, and iOS7.

 

While Android has competed on a software-centric strategy, overtaking Apple handset sales, Microsoft has pulled away from an OEM-based distribution method and is consolidating around a handset strategy with the acquisition of Nokia’s mobile manufacturing arm, and of Skype (in a challenge to the carriers). Blackberry (formerly RIM) is also likely to be acquired by a big player. We foresee Microsoft and Blackberry market share increasing, causing a cost and complexity challenge for companies who have based their mobile digital publishing strategy around Apple and Android.

 

Cloud and SaaS models have broken through the trust barrier, giving hosted solutions full security approval in B2B markets. We believe the reduction upon reliance of installed and maintained hardware, with the associated freedom to drive scale across multi-national footprints, will drive even greater adoption of cloud-based infrastructure.

 

The main competition in this industry can be seen as the handset manufacture of OS development platforms such as Blackberry (formerly RIM), ANDROID and iOS (Apple). These companies provide a developer with the ability to design and produce an offering for a target industry such as gaming. Several companies provide offerings such as www.appcelerator.com , www.rhomobile.com , www.getelastic.com that allow simple application development across multiple platforms and operating systems. Our CAPSA license allows cross OS development but is unique in addressing the needs of the gaming industry, which is complex and highly regulated. Our offering addresses key issues such as security, user authentication, geo-location and geo-fencing. Addressing all the market needs allows rapid development and low cost of ownership and mass market mobile device coverage. Other companies such as Cantor Wireless, Harrah’s, IGT and Bally Tech have put forward public strategies and initial offerings within the gaming market but these companies do not have the history and pedigree in the needed technology to deliver a robust full featured mobile solution.

Current solutions typically fall into one of two categories: native applications or web technology. Native applications, while seemingly inexpensive to start require OS updates as new versions and devices emerge. As traffic increases these applications also suffer from an inability to properly scale. Web users experience browsers that are chaotic, painfully slow, and offer a poor passive user interface experience. Web based applications suffer limitations in device functionality like messaging, cameras, tilt, and geolocation. Our technology platform positions itself uniquely between the facets of web and native applications providing high levels of satisfaction for:

 

· User experience
· Content management
· Messaging and marketing capabilities
· Security and compliance
· Speed of market reach
· Powerful multi-regional capability
· Low cost of ownership

 

Because our technology solution is designed to work with all mobile handset devices, the fragmentation we see developing in the operating systems of the major suppliers will work to our advantage. There is a clear need to deliver new and innovative solutions that are agnostic to the mobile handset manufacturer. Ultimately ThreeFiftyNine is positioning itself to lead the industry in this capability.

 

OUR SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY
 

Digital Gaming Strategy

 

Publishing content and managing transactions in a highly regulated environment such as gaming has also passed a key tipping point in 2012. In the US, 44 States allow some category of paid gaming or betting, and in the last 12 months the first five or six States have made progress in, or completed, digital gaming regulatory approval processes, led by Nevada.

 

US gaming represents the most testing technical and regulatory challenges, even more challenging than mobile banking by an order of magnitude. Requirements include geofencing within territorial borders and on-property, plus a sophisticated range of anti-fraud measures to validate the user’s account and the device. Mobile- and simcard-based technologies offer a flexible range of solutions, more so than online or web-based technology (where variable IP addressing negates many anti-fraud measures).

 

We believe there is a true market hunger for partnerships to mobilize and publish gaming content in full compliance with all legal and regulatory demands, by regulator and by territory. In Europe, licenses are also issued by territory and therefore gaming abroad demonstrates many of the same needs as seen in the US. Gaming operators in the EU are more advanced in their digital solution offerings than the US market has seen, although they have uncovered a range of new hurdles; base management, profiling and engagement; maximizing cross-sell and up-sell to their base; push messaging based on location and social media connectivity.

 

Global gambling revenues passed US$ 400 billion, according to the latest research undertaken by Global Betting and Gaming Consultants for its Global Gambling Report – Betting on Regulation .

 

GBGC’s provisional figures show that gambling activities generated US$ 419 billion in revenues across the world in 2011.This figure is an increase of 5.6% on the previous year.

 

The internet has given rise to an ever increasing trend in gambling. It’s becoming easier than ever to take a chance online. Interactive gambling accounted for 8.4% of global gambling revenues in 2011, up from 8.0% in 2010. This figure would suggest there is still room for further growth in the Interactive sector, especially if the US does adopt some kind of federal or state regulation for Internet gambling in the coming years.

 

Commenting on the figures, GBGC’s Director Lorien Pilling said, “GBGC is forecasting that global gambling revenues will reach US$ 500 billion by 2014. The market trend towards digital gaming has been reinforced by major technology investments by William Hill, and Ladbrokes to name just a few with the focus on seizing market share of a growing digital gambling market estimated by Juniper Research to be worth $100 billion by 2017.

Some of the gaming opportunities we foresee include but are not limited to:

 

Mobile Marketing Services – Providing loyalty card and group offerings to Casinos and Hotel chains, allowing the property to have a presence with the members via SMS, MMS and mobile application offerings, creating a one to one marketing experience connecting ties to points, rewards and offerings.

 

Mobile Sports Book (real time) – Providing all the end- to- end mobile infrastructure from cloud hosting, application design, mCommerce, authentication, security, location services and application publishing for sports book operators globally.

 

Mobile Lottery – Providing a turnkey offering to allow lottery operators to take their retail proposition to mobile from the application design, mCommerce, security and publishing.

Sales and Distribution

 

We have existing business partners that we are currently working on developing applications for. We intend to extend our base of business globally. Once funding is achieved, we plan to enter into contracts with existing casinos that desire to add mobile gaming and wagering to their offerings. The addition of a mobile wagering/sports betting platform allows the casinos to brand a new capability and attracts new clients to the property. Typically we enter into a contract to provide custom gaming and wagering and additionally we charge a per user fee which may include a percentage of the wage or gaming “rake”.

 

Although the Company will focus its resources on generating revenue from the sale of mobile gaming and wagering contracts, we also intend to look for other non-casino based opportunities.

 

Having conducted a review of adjacent markets, we are confident that secure, compliant digital publishing and transaction solutions are a key component in the following:

 

E-health

1. increasingly turning mobile, for basic messaging communications right through to health apps
2. US security led by the HIPPA rules (Privacy, Security and Breach Notification)
3. The UN champions health apps in 7 key areas:

• Education and awareness

• Helpline

• Diagnostic and treatment support

• Communication and training for healthcare workers

• Disease and epidemic outbreak tracking

• Remote monitoring

• Remote data collection

 

Government

1. Local and national government organizations are looking to digital transformation to lead new ways of working
2. Increases accessibility, accountability and cost effectiveness
3. Increases population (and voter) engagement in the 35 and under age demographic

 

Finance and m-commerce

1. Micropayment solutions such as PayPal or adding small costs to phone bills are now widely accepted
2. Secure mobile banking solutions to underserved areas typically limited to “shadow banking” operations.

 

Our funding commitments have not yet materialized and there can be no assurance that we will raise any of the financing we need for the projects and applications described above. Our financial results to date are reflective of an early stage company that has pilot projects only in place but no active programs. If we are not successful in raising funding in the amounts and the times required, our ability to implement one or more of the projects described above will be adversely affected.

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Intellectual property that has been licensed as part of our current business deals include cloud development and deployment technology, operating system authentication, white and black list control, mobile device ID verification and empirical application feature support, geo-location support, geo-fence technology and multi brand and location mobile application support.

 

REGULATION

 

We are fully compliant with the main mobile regulatory controls such as VeriSign, Safe Harbor, and commerce, all carrier commerce and mobile consumer privacy regulations.  Tarsin’s CAPSA platform is approved by the NGB (Nevada Gaming Board) as a mobile payment based application and approved solution.

EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

 

At October 25, 2013 the Company (and its subsidiaries) had seven (7) employees. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees. The Company engages the services of independent contractors to assist it with developing our product offerings. We plan to engage full-time employees as our business develops and when we obtain sufficient working capital. All payments made to our officers in calendar 2013 will be properly reported to government agencies.

 

In July 2011, we entered into an Executive Employment agreement with Craig Fielding, CEO of Consorteum Sub. In December 2011, we entered into an Executive Employment agreement with Patrick Shuster, COO of Consorteum Holdings. Effective May 2012, we terminated Mr. Cellura who was operating as CEO without a written employment contract.

 

In September 2012, all existing management contracts were terminated by mutual agreement with the parties effective August 31, 2012. These changes in management contracts were undertaken in light of our financial position and in order to better position us to attract additional financing. Furthermore, as set out in the financial statements, these individuals exchanged significant liabilities that existed as of June 30, 2012, in consideration for issuance of common stock as a subsequent transaction.

 

On September 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Executive Employment agreement with Craig Fielding, CEO of Consorteum Holdings Inc. and Patrick Shuster, COO of Consorteum Holdings through December 31, 2016.

ITEM 3.  Legal Proceedings

 

On June 27, 2012 plaintiffs Joseph R. Cellura as Chairman and CEO of Game2Mobile and Joseph R. Cellura individually filed a summons and complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Action”) against the Company, our COO Patrick Shuster (“Shuster”), CEO Craig Fielding (“Fielding”) and certain other defendants not affiliated with the Company. The Company, Shuster and Fielding were never served with the summons and complaint, and, upon information and belief, neither were any of the remaining defendants. Plaintiffs allege 12 different causes of action against various defendants, but only Count XI is alleged against the Company. In this count, plaintiff Cellura individually alleges that the Company (among other defendants) breached his employment agreement with the Company and seeks damages in excess of $5,000,000. The complaint does not give any detail of the specific breaches by any of the defendants; nor does it describe how plaintiff has been damaged for a sum in excess of $5,000,000. As set forth elsewhere in this Report the Company never entered into any employment agreement with Mr. Cellura. The Company also has various counterclaims against Mr. Cellura. The complaint also alleges certain securities law violations against all individual defendants. Lastly, the complaint alleges various causes of action against the individual defendants for intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, and interference with various business opportunities, prospective advantage, and negligent supervision.

 

In October 2012 the Company and Cellura as well as certain of the individual defendants named in the Action entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which (among other matters) Cellura agreed to discontinue the Action against the Company and file a stipulation of discontinuance with prejudice with the Court in which the Action was pending. The parties also agreed to exchange general releases with each other such that all claims by Cellura and his affiliates against the Company were resolved.

 

The Company is a creditor in two related bankruptcy cases in the U.S.Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company has filed proof of claims in both In re Game2Mobile, Case No. 13-52062 and In re Tarsin,Inc. Case No. 13-53607. The Company will also be submitting administrative expense claims.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

 

Consorteum Holdings has spent the last year recasting the direction of the Company. We intend to take advantage of the opportunities that we have identified in the digital delivery of content to mobile devices. The market opportunities that are opened to a company that can master the technology of delivering any digital content in a secure, geographically precise area, across any smartphone or mobile device are simply staggering. Our main task has been to narrow our initial focus on the market of mobile gaming. The technology necessary to successfully deliver end-to-end gaming content for our customers requires the platform to be capable of a secure financial transaction, with complicated rules of winning, regulated by a government entity that depends on location based services. If you break apart each of the technology barriers outlined, you can begin to see how powerful our advantage will become as we go to market with our customers in the gaming, medical and pharmaceutical industry, government services and financial transaction e-commerce businesses.

 

Our decision to enter into a licensing agreement with Tarsin Inc. to enable the use of their first generation platform for mobile content delivery has enabled the company to validate the market opportunities. In addition, the Company took action to acquire the necessary engineering resources to develop its own platform for the delivery of mobile content. It is our belief that once developed our next generation platform will lead the market in the capability to deliver unique solutions to our customers that will become the basis of our revenue moving forward.

 

In August 2013, the Company announced the first organizational restructuring that has been designed to expedite new market entries in technology and payment solutions. A new business entity, ThreeFiftyNine Inc. was incorporated by us in Nevada. This subsidiary will act as the lead operational business unit. It is registered at the same address as its parent.

 

ThreeFiftyNine Inc. sets out to be a highly differentiated business in the digital space, with brand development continuing for a launch later this year. The business is commercializing a number of new business opportunities that have been under assessment. This involves formalizing a structure to support go-to-market programs that have already been through a business review and modeling process. The proposed programs are closely tied to key vertical market segments, with lead customers and partners in both direct and indirect distribution models.

 

A core technology development team has been recruited and is in place, including world-class resources in the areas of cloud infrastructure design, development, and deployment, as well as in digital transaction management.

 

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into a binding term sheet commitment (the “Term Sheet”) for a $30,000,000 funding agreement with AIC Group Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“AIC” or “Funder”). AIC has agreed to lend $30,000,000 to the Company in six (6) consecutive monthly installments (the “Loan”) with the first portion of the funding to begin no later than 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet. The installments will vary in size depending upon the working capital requirements of the Company at the time each installment is due. AIC may extend only the first installment one time for a period of up to 45 days. The Loan will bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning one year from the funding of the first portion of the Loan. The Loan and all remaining accrued and unpaid interest is due and repayable seven (7) years after the first funding installment; provided, however, that the Company may extend the repayment date for two successive one year periods by giving 90 day prior notice to AIC and paying an extension fee of 2% of the principal amount of the Loan to be renewed. If AIC defaults in making any installment of the Loan, then the Loan shall terminate forthwith and the Company shall have no repayment obligation to AIC. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Company will grant AIC a first priority security interest in and to all of its assets including its Intellectual Property (“IP”) as collateral security for the Loan. If the Company defaults in making any repayment of interest or principal or under any other material terms and conditions of the Loan, AIC shall have the rights of a secured party under the security agreement to foreclose on the Company collateral to satisfy the Loan. The Company will pay a total of four percent (4%) of the Loan in origination fees to two consultants as each portion of the Loan is funded, and a one time administrative fee of $150,000 that will be refunded if the funding of the Loan does not occur as scheduled. The Company has elected to expense the financing fees advanced rather than to defer these items.

 

AIC has agreed to use its best efforts to provide directly or through an affiliate a bridge loan for $2,000,000 (amended to $4,000,000 on May 22, 2013)(the “Bridge Loan”) within sixty (60) days of the execution of the Term Sheet. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and shall be repayable from the first proceeds under the Loan. If the Loan does not proceed, then the Bridge Loan, if made, will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be repaid in one year from its date and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. The Bridge Loan did not close during either of the 60-day periods, as discussed below.

 

11
 

 

 

As part of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue to AIC an amount of its shares of common stock as shall equal thirty–five percent (35%) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis (the “AIC Shares”); provided, however, that the issuance of the AIC Shares shall not occur until one year from the date of the first funding of the Loan by AIC to the Company. In the event that the Loan or any portion thereof is not funded as scheduled, the Company shall issue only that portion of the AIC Shares to AIC that is calculated as the percentage of the amount of the Loan actually funded by AIC to the total Loan amount. All of the AIC Shares shall be restricted shares and AIC shall enter into a covenant neither to engage in any short selling nor to sell more than certain specified numbers of its shares during each quarterly period.

 

There are other conditions to the Loan as follows: (1) AIC shall be given the right to designate up to two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors such appointments to be made in time with the funding of the Loan. (2) AIC and the Company shall enter into a Business Services Development Agreement under which AIC will assist and advise the Company in connection with development of its business under its business plan in effect from time to time. (3) The parties will negotiate and execute certain agreements to reflect all of these transactions including a loan agreement, a secured promissory note, a share issuance and shareholders agreement, a convertible bridge note, a business services development agreement, and such other documents as the parties may mutually agree.

 

The AIC Funding was expected to close on or before May 31, 2013 and is now expected to close on or before October 31, 2013. The closing delay was attributable to working through a complex process on the part of several international banks, which represent this transaction and the necessity of working through the due diligence items prior to closing. As a result of the delays, the Company has negotiated an Amendment No 1 to the Term Sheet dated May 22, 2013 to increase the Bridge Loan from $2 million to $4 million with the remaining funds of $30 million to be paid out pursuant to an agreed upon installment schedule. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. Ultimately AIC was unable to close this amended round of funding and experienced delays with its original funding partner and subsequently AIC secured an alternative funding partner. AIC has represented to the Company that the funds are now under AIC’s control and AIC is working with its bridge funding partners to provide the bridge financing on or before October 31, 2013. Due to the extreme delays experienced, the Company has informed AIC that should funding not occur as committed to, the Company will pursue all legal remedies available to recover its $150,000 funding deposit as well as damages relating to breach of contract and lost business opportunities. Furthermore, the Company has elected to expense the financing fees advanced rather than to defer these items.

 

In January 2013, we made a partial payment of $182,000 towards acquiring a 10% common equity investment in KO Gaming, Inc. and a 5% common equity investment in KO Entertainment, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million, which will be funded in its entirety when and if the funds are received from the $30 million investment discussed above and subject to further due diligence. The Company has elected to expense the funds advanced to date. Knockout Gaming, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, is dedicated to leading the online gaming industry worldwide by providing innovative i-gaming turnkey solutions in an expanding industry. Knockout Gaming’s executive management team has extensive expertise in this multi- billion-dollar industry. Knockout Gaming has aligned itself with industry leaders to provide cutting-edge online gaming solutions. Online gambling licenses are only awarded to companies that have passed a rigid vetting process. Knockout Gaming's license was issued on July 17, 2012 and is regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. The approval process has resulted in only 47 platforms to date being approved in the past eight years. In 2001, the Isle of Man Government was one of the first jurisdictions in the world to introduce legislation specifically designed to benefit gambling and e-gaming companies and fully protect customers. KO Entertainment, Inc. distributes quality entertainment and media products in online, digital, and print media. Its latest offering is the debut of Knockout LIVE on Roku IPTV Systems. Knockout LIVE will represent the launch of the first network to stream in Blu-Ray quality on IPTV. While intended primarily as a music network, Knockout LIVE will also be hosting exclusive pay-per-view interactive concerts and other events. We impaired this investment since we are not in a position to make any additional investment due to our illiquidity at the current time. 

 

On October 10, 2012, we entered into a licensing agreement with Tarsin Inc. for rights to the CAPSA technology. The agreement is for a term of three (3) years, and is subject to a royalty of 12.5% of revenues derived from the CAPSA technology. The agreement specifies an annual license fee of $100,000 and a support fee based on annual revenue generated from licensing the platform.

 

The licensing agreement that we have reached with Tarsin provides the Company with an exclusive right to license the CAPSA software platform in selected geographical markets throughout Canada, and Mexico, along with select customers within the United States and is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. We ultimately wish to expand in Latin America, China and Europe. The Company also retains the “Right of First Negotiation” to enter into markets in the US, which do not overlap with the existing contractual relationships that Tarsin has with Stations Casino in Nevada.

 

Tarsin provides us with proven capabilities in the mobile handset market, which we can use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets.  The ability to deliver next generation services to all customers depends on our ability to develop an application that is agnostic to the type of smart phone deployed.  The CAPSA platform was developed with the specific purpose of deploying rich multimedia content across diverse handsets.  We intend to leverage the license agreement with Tarsin in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming vertical to monetize its applications in branded partnership relationships.

Combined with our experience in the payment processing and financial transaction markets, we believe that recent advances in technology have enabled smart phones to develop custom applications that will allow the phone to process payments, conduct banking transactions and emulate the traditional role that ATM machines now play.  We intend to leverage our expertise in mobile applications development to target new opportunities to provide traditional banking and payment services to our customers.

 

Tarsin Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2013 and is in the process of reorganizing its business affairs. Should the license arrangement become impaired in the Tarsin bankruptcy, the Company will continue with its own technology development using its own team.

 

The Company may continue to face significant uncertainty relating to liquidity and intends to continue to search for additional sources of working capital, and to actively search for collaborative partners. Many of the existing contracts and initiatives described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K require capital expenditures by Consorteum to move forward and management anticipates that delays in project implementation will continue if funds are not available.

 

CAPSA - the Solution for Going Mobile

 

Tarsin’s mobile platform, CAPSA, eases the challenges brands face in mobile. There is urgency for brands to connect with consumers via mobile - regardless of tighter budgets and higher expectations in the mobile experience. Unfortunately, today’s current mobile application and content solutions are limited - whether it be in how users can interact, or the number of devices it can actually support.  As companies look to mobile strategies, the picture gets extremely cloudy in how to develop a rich mobile offering that can resonate within the mass market. CAPSA is able to take the “how” out of mobile planning, encompassing all the components that allow for a rich mobile experience to be delivered to a handset. In order to initiate and maintain connections with mobile consumers, it is absolutely critical for its platform to be interoperable between any mobile network and device. This full-service approach redefines how brands develop mobile strategies to strengthen their connections to consumers. Tarsin works with operators and multi-tier networks to successfully execute programs on behalf of brands. Tarsin’s proven CAPSA platform provides an end-to-end, versatile framework for brands to design once and deliver unparalleled mobile experiences.  CAPSA is the first universal mobile content delivery solution available that is based on web-standards and is carrier, operating systems and device agnostic.  This allows companies to reach the broadest consumer base: 5200+ devices; 27+ languages; 180+ countries; non-native font support. Today, CAPSA supports millions of mobile consumers, with thousands added daily.

 

The licensing agreement with Tarsin will become the keystone in our plans to rebrand ourselves as a leader in the mobile publishing and mobile gaming industry. All of our previous initiatives will be redesigned with the core focus of establishing our reputation for creative solutions in a mobile world. Tarsin is positioned to become a leading developer of mobile gaming on cross platform applications. The CAPSA platform facilitates our ability to develop mobile applications and can be leveraged into many different market verticals (including but not limited to):

 

· e-health
· Government
· Finance and m-commerce

 

We anticipate that in 2014 we will deliver to market a series of mobile applications in the gaming, entertainment, sports and mobile financial solutions industries.

 

In monetizing the platform itself, our B2B sales effort is focused on sports books and lotteries (who are already well aware of the compelling returns on mobile). We will leverage our compliance and audit proof points, and in addition to mobilizing their content we offer additional games from our content portfolio to generate cross-sell and higher revenues, maximizing ROI for the client on their customer base.

 

We have been focused on initiating new agreements and commencing pilot projects intended to demonstrate the efficacy of the business model.  The lack of working capital has challenged this process and at the end of the last fiscal year, we were forced to restructure our affairs.  The outcome of that process included the decision to reduce the number of business opportunities, the termination of all management contracts, and the arrangement with officers, employees, and suppliers to forgive certain indebtedness in September 2012.

 

We have incurred losses since commencing the above initiatives in June 2011 and will likely continue in 2013 and 2014 until such time that we can generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating needs. We have significant liabilities, some of which we acquired through the acquisition of MEXI, which we are currently converting into common stock, which should be completed by December 31, 2013. We will need to increase our authorized shares prior to converting all notes, which is in control of our two officers. We intend to work through reducing or eliminating the remaining liabilities, and to continue to raise additional working capital to meet the demands of the Company’s initiatives.

 

Our funding commitments have not yet materialized and there can be no assurance that we will raise any of the financing we need. The financial results of 2012 and 2013 are reflective of an early stage company.  The limited financial resources available have impacted results for the current year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash Flows – Fiscal 2013  

 

We had no cash balance at June 30, 2013.

 

During fiscal 2013, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $1,180,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss from continuing operations of approximately $4,809,000 primarily due to stock based compensation expense and impairment.  

 

During fiscal 2013, we used cash in our investing activities of approximately $700,000 for the proposed acquisition of Tarsin, which ultimately became a license agreement with Tarsin for certain territorial rights to their technology. We invested approximately $180,000 in minority ownership positions in both KO Gaming, Inc. and KO Entertainment, Inc. Both of these items have been expensed in the financial statements.  

 

During fiscal 2013, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $1,925,000, which consisted of proceeds from loans and the issuance of convertible promissory notes.  

 

Cash Flows – Fiscal 2012

 

During fiscal 2012, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $603,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss from continuing operations of approximately $1,621,000 primarily due to an increase in payables and accrued liabilities.

 

During fiscal 2012, we used cash in our investing activities of approximately $145,000 for the proposed acquisition of Tarsin, which ultimately became a license agreement with Tarsin for certain territorial rights to their technology. During fiscal 2012, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $753,000, which consisted of  proceeds from loans and the issuance of convertible promissory notes.

 

The Company may continue to face significant uncertainty relating to liquidity and intends to continue to search for additional sources of working capital, and to actively search for collaborative partners. Many of the existing contracts and initiatives require capital expenditures by Consorteum to move forward and management anticipates that delays will continue if funds are not available.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States assuming the Company will continue as a going-concern. We have incurred losses since inception and our ability to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and develop profitable operations. We have a working capital deficit of approximately $8,066,000 at June 30, 2013. Subsequent to such date, we have raised working capital of $845,000 through the issuance of notes to fund our working capital requirements. We are actively targeting sources of additional financing, which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations. The current market conditions and volatility increase the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern given the need to both curtail expenditures and to raise additional funds. The Company is and has experienced negative operating cash flows and needs to invest in continuing pilot projects and operating partnerships which cannot be met from existing cash balances. The Company will continue to search for new funds and for new collaborative partners for its projects but anticipates that  current market conditions may impact its ability to source such funds.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, we may be forced to sell or assign rights to our technologies. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

Revenues

 

We are a development-stage company with no operating revenues generated since our inception. Our first revenues from commercial sales and licensing are expected to be from the Tarsin license agreement. We expect our revenues to be derived from transactions processed using the CAPSA platform technology in certain countries outside the United States. Our first market we expect to generate revenues in is North America.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of consultant fees related to software development, marketing programs, which consists mostly of business development and advertising expenses, as well as other general and administrative expenses, including payroll expenses, necessary to support our marketing plans and our operations, legal expenses and professional fees.

 

The increase in our selling, general, and administrative expenses in fiscal 2013 when compared to fiscal 2012 is primarily attributable to expanding our development efforts.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest consists of interest payable pursuant to stated rates on interest bearing indebtedness, as well as amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs.

 

The increase in interest expense in fiscal 2013 when compared to fiscal 2012 is primarily due to the issuance of additional loans payable during the fiscal year.

 

Net Losses

 

We have continued to incur losses for the periods presented. Because we are a development-stage company, we expect to incur losses until the Company can generate revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The Company will need to continue to raise additional working capital to develop its business initiatives until they turn profitable.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company does not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

We do not have any significant contractual obligations to third parties other than an annual obligation to MasterCard and issuing banks under the Unity program initiative not exceeding $50,000 in any year.

 

There are no commitments for capital expenditures.

 

There are currently two management contracts.

 

The Company leases office space in Incline Village, Nevada pursuant to a lease executed in July 2013. The monthly rent is approximately $4,500. The initial lease is for three months with various options to extend through July 2015 if desired.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:  

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause future results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, lower than anticipated retail transactions, and inability to control expenses, the inability to raise funds for working capital, technology changes in the industry, relationships with processing agencies and networks, changes in its relationship with related parties providing operating services to the Company, the Tarsin bankruptcy, the activities of competitors and general uncertain economic conditions. Negative developments in these or other risk factors including the potential loss of the CAPSA platform could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future financial position, results of operations and cash flow. See also the Forward Looking Statements section of this report.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360, “Property plant and equipment,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the long-lived assets have been valued on a going concern basis. However, substantial doubt exists as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The asset values were materially impaired during the fourth quarter of 2013, largely due to our severe financial condition.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided for net deferred tax assets since we have no history of earnings. In addition, we have deferred tax assets related to our net operating losses; however, due to our issuances of common and preferred stock, we will not be able to recover such losses carry forward to offset future taxable income.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

In accordance with the provision of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” the Company, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, translates its balance sheet into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and translates its revenues and expenses at the average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are accumulated and charged directly to accumulated comprehensive income or (loss), a component of stockholders' equity or (deficit). Realized gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations for the period.

16
 

 

 

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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results will differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

 

Comparative Financial Information

 

Certain financial information for the fiscal 2012 has been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 9A.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Based on the foregoing, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013.

  

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Our internal control system is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

17
 

 

 

Because of our inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. As a result of its assessment, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the weaknesses described below, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of our assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013:

 

  · While there were internal controls and procedures in place that relate to financial reporting and the prevention and detection of material misstatements, these controls did not meet the required documentation and effectiveness requirements and therefore, management could not certify that these controls were correctly implemented. As a result, it was management’s opinion that the lack of documentation warranted a material weakness in the financial reporting process.

 

  · There is lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as one consultant performs our financial reporting and all accounting functions. This weakness is due to our lack of working capital to hire additional staff during the period covered by this report.

 

We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.  Even with this change, due to the increasing number and complexity of pronouncements, emerging issues and releases, and reporting requirements and regulations, we expect there will continue to be some risk related to financial disclosures. However, the process of identifying risk areas and implementing financial disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting required under SOX continues to be complex and subject to significant judgment and may result in the identification in the future of areas where we may need additional resources.  Additionally, due to the complexity and judgment involved in this process, we cannot guarantee that it will not find or have pointed out to it either by internal or external resources, or by its auditors, additional areas needing improvement or resulting in a future assessment that its controls are or have become ineffective as a result of overlooked or newly created significant deficiencies or unmitigated risks.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

An attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting is not required.

Under the promissory notes the conversion for all or any portion of the outstanding promissory notes can be made by the Trust at any time; therefore they are included in the table on as converted basis. These calculations are based upon the face amount of the Company promissory notes and do not include accrued and unpaid interest.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

Consorteum Holdings, Inc

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), a development stage company as of June 30, 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The accompanying financial statements of the Company for the period from July 1, 2011 (re-entering of development stage) through June 30, 2012 were not audited by us. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 2, 2012 expresses an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the period from July 1, 2011 (re-entering of development stage) through June 30, 2012, reflect a net loss of $ 1,621,051. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such prior periods as indicated in the accompanying financial statements for such periods from July 1, 2011 (re-entering of development stage) through June 30, 2012 is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

 

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. An audit also includes 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 provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as agoing concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company is in the development stage, has a working capital deficit, and has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CONSORTEUM HOLDINGS, INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.         Organization, Development Stage Activities, and Going Concern

 

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings" or the “Company”), formerly known as Implex Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2005. On April 9, 2009, Holdings changed its name to Consorteum Holdings, Inc.

 

On June 6, 2011, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, as amended, with Media Exchange Group, Inc. (“MEXI”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to buy, transfer and assign to the Company, and MEXI has agreed to sell all of the rights, title and interests to, and agreements relating to, its digital trading card business and platform, as well as all other intangible assets of the business in exchange for the Company assuming an aggregate principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $2.1 million of indebtedness of MEXI in accordance with the terms of that certain assignment and assumption agreement executed on June 6, 2011.  On July 14, 2011, the Company completed the transaction. A majority shareholder of MEXI and the former Chief Executive Officer, Director and Chairman of the Board of MEXI (who resigned on June 3, 2011) organized the asset purchase agreement with MEXI.  In addition, the control persons of MEXI were effectively issued 5,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock (see Note 11, which have super voting rights, causing such persons to have voting control of the Company. Accordingly, the transaction was deemed consummated between two entities under common control and the transfer of assets was recorded at historical cost.  MEXI’s rights, title and interests to, and agreements relating to, its digital trading card business and platform were valued at the historical cost basis of zero since MEXI’s activities were related to research and development. However, in connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed convertible notes amounting to $2,073,646 of MEXI (principal and accrued interest as of July 2011), and accordingly, recorded a corresponding charge in the deficit accumulated during the development stage in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2012, and the statement of Stockholders’ Deficit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (see Note 12).

 

On July 8, 2011, the former Chief Executive Officer of MEXI assumed the position of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and, in accordance with the Board of Director’s authorization, was directed to submit an executory employment contract which promised 4,000,000 shares of Consorteum’s Series B preferred stock as part of his compensation in accordance with the terms of his executory contract. However, the board of directors never approved the executory contract. (see Note 12).

 

On October 4, 2011, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tarsin (Europe) LTD, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“Seller”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Tarsin, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tarsin Subsidiary”) from Seller. On November 4, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement and the Amendment, the Company was to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Tarsin Subsidiary from Seller for: (1) a total of 24,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued at a deemed issuance price of $0.10 per share; and(2) a cash payment of $3,000,000 to Seller. Pursuant to the Amendment No. 1 , Seller further agreed to grant to the Company an exclusive, worldwide perpetual license to use, distribute, and sell its CAPSA Mobile Platform technology in consideration for a 12.5% royalty fee calculated on future net revenues from the use of the CAPSA Mobile Platform technology. The Company was further obligated to provide or procure working capital to Tarsin. The Company has been unable to meet these obligations because the Company was unable to provide the necessary financing. The acquisition was not completed because the Company was unable to provide the necessary financing. In July 2012, the Company entered into new negotiations with Tarsin Inc. in order to reach an agreement that would preserve the value of our investment and the CAPSA platform as developed by Tarsin, and allow the Company to leverage its relationships with existing Canadian based casinos and resorts as customers that could utilize the CAPSA platform to provide mobile wagering and gaming to their customers. The Company reached a new exclusive licensing agreement with Tarsin that allows the Company to license the CAPSA platform to sell mobile gaming and wagering programs throughout Canada, Mexico and select customers within the United States, as well as other countries. The Company agreed to unwind its acquisition agreement previously entered into. Tarsin is operating as a privately held Nevada corporation. In connection therewith, the Company advanced monies for the license totaling approximately $234,000, loans totaling $423,100 and consulting fees to Tarsin’s president totaling approximately $73,000 through June 30, 2013. Tarsin, Inc. recently entered into bankruptcy because of its inability to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to retain and commercialize its license rights to the CAPSA technology, nor whether the Company will be able to recover its notes receivable and costs incurred with the license. As a result, as of June 30, 2013, the license was deemed impaired and the note receivable reserved. See Note 4.

 

F- 8
 

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into a binding term sheet commitment (the “Term Sheet”) for a $30,000,000 funding agreement with AIC Group Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“AIC” or “Funder”). Other than the Term Sheet, there is no other relationship between the registrant and its affiliates and AIC.

 

The Term Sheet provided that AIC agreed to lend $30,000,000 to the Company in six (6) consecutive monthly installments (the “Loan”) with the first portion of the funding which was to begin no later than 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet. The installments, if the note is closed, will vary in size depending upon the working capital requirements of the Company at the time each installment is due. The Loan will bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning one year from the funding of the first portion of the Loan. The Loan and all remaining accrued and unpaid interest is due and repayable seven (7) years after the first funding installment; provided, however, that the Company may extend the repayment date for two successive one year periods by giving 90 day prior notice to AIC and paying an extension fee of 2% of the principal amount of the Loan to be renewed. If AIC defaults in making any installment of the Loan, then the Loan shall terminate forthwith and the Company shall have no repayment obligation to AIC. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Company will grant AIC a first priority security interest in and to all of its assets including its Intellectual Property (“IP”) as collateral security for the Loan. If the Company defaults in making any repayment of interest or principal or under any other material terms and conditions of the Loan, AIC shall have the rights of a secured party under the security agreement to foreclose on the Company collateral to satisfy the Loan. The Company will pay a total of four percent (4%) of the Loan in origination fees to two consultants as each portion of the Loan is funded;the Company paid a one-time, refundable administrative fee of $150,000 (see below for impairment).

 

AIC had also agreed to use its best efforts to provide directly or through an affiliate a bridge loan for $2,000,000 (the “Bridge Loan”) within sixty (60) days of the execution of the Term Sheet. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and shall be repayable from the first proceeds under the Loan. If the Loan does not proceed, then the Bridge Loan(amended to $4,000,000 on May 22, 2013), if made, will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be repaid in one year from its date and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. The Bridge Loan did not close during the 60-day period, as discussed below.

 

As part of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue to AIC an amount of its shares of common stock as shall equal thirty–five percent (35%) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis (the “AIC Shares”); provided, however, that the issuance of the AIC Shares shall not occur until one year from the date of the first funding of the Loan by AIC to the Company. In the event that the Loan or any portion thereof is not funded as scheduled, the Company shall issue only that portion of the AIC Shares to AIC that is calculated as the percentage of the amount of the Loan actually funded by AIC to the total Loan amount. All of the AIC Shares shall be restricted shares and AIC shall enter into a covenant neither to engage in any short selling nor to sell more than certain specified numbers of its shares during each quarterly period.

 

There are other conditions to the Loan as follows: (1) AIC shall be given the right to designate up to two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors such appointments to be made in time with the funding of the Loan. (2) AIC and the Company shall enter into a Business Services Development Agreement under which AIC will assist and advise the Company in connection with development of its business under its business plan in effect from time to time. (3) The parties will negotiate and execute certain agreements to reflect all of these transactions including a loan agreement, a secured promissory note, a share issuance and shareholders agreement, a convertible bridge note, a business services development agreement, and such other documents as the parties may mutually agree.

The AIC Funding was expected to close on or before May 31, 2013. The closing delay was attributable to working through a complex process on the part of several international banks which represent this transaction and the necessity of working through the due diligence items prior to closing. As a result of the delays, the Company has negotiated an Amendment No. 1 to the Term Sheet dated May 22, 2013 to increase the Bridge Loan from $2 million to $4 million with the remaining funds of $30 million to be paid out over the next six months. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. Ultimately AIC was unable to close this amended round of funding and experienced delays with its original funding partner and subsequently AIC secured an alternative funding partner. AIC has represented to the Company that the funds are now under AIC’s control and AIC is working with its bridge funding partners to provide the bridge financing on or before October 31, 2013. Due to the extreme delays experienced, the Company has informed AIC that should funding not occur as committed to, the Company will pursue all legal remedies available to recover its $150,000 funding deposit, as well as damages relating to breach of contract and lost business opportunities. Furthermore, the Company has charged to expense the financing fees advanced rather than to defer these items because of the uncertainties regarding completing the funding.

 

Development Stage Activities

The Company previously operated as a technology and services aggregator to meet the diverse needs of its client base by leveraging its wide-ranging partner technologies to develop end-to-end, turnkey card and payment transaction processing solutions. On or about July 14, 2011, the Company changed its date of inception as a result of the change in business for accounting of development-stage activities under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  Activities prior to such date are included in development activities and the historical accumulated losses are segregating in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in stockholders’ deficit.  In June 2011, the Company began to focus its efforts to acquire Tarsin, Inc.; however, the Company was unsuccessful in completing the acquisition because the Company could not secure the financing necessary to close. In October 2012, the Company secured a license to market and license the CAPSA technology from Tarsin. The Company expects to generate revenues from licensing the CAPSA technology in fiscal 2014 subject to the outcome of the Tarsin bankruptcy (see Note 4). The Company has established an inception date effective July 1, 2011 (“Inception”).

 

Going Concern Assumption

The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage and has suffered losses from operations. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of approximately $8.1 million. The Company's working capital deficit and recent losses raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has secured working capital of approximately $2,000,000 during the year ended June 30, 2013. Subsequent to such date, the Company has raised additional capital totaling approximately $845,000; such proceeds were used for working capital of the business, to secure a funding agreement with AIC and other Tarsin related activities. The Company require additional equity or debt financing to meet its obligations as they become due. In the event that such financing is not secured, the Company will not be able to satisfy its liabilities. Furthermore, certain debt is overdue and is secured by all assets of the Company. The Company is attempting to restructure some of the debt and secure cash from an executed capital raise agreement and additional financing partners to satisfy its existing obligations and provide for sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s future obligations but there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to do any of these things.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year. Set forth below are the Company's significant accounting policies:

 

F- 10
 

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consorteum Holdings, Inc. Consorteum Inc., and Bad Rabbit Inc. which was formed on May 30, 2013 with no operating activity as of the fiscal year end. Subsequently, the Company formed ThreeFiftyNine Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The merger of Holdings and Consorteum has been recorded as a recapitalization of Holdings, with the net assets of Consorteum and Holdings brought forward at their historical bases and represents a continuation of the financial statements of Consorteum. The substance of the Company’s share issuance and the reorganization is a transaction which results in Consorteum becoming a listed public entity through Holdings’ acquisition of Consorteum's net assets.

 

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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the estimated useful lives of equipment, the utilization of future income tax assets, the potential impairments of long-lived assets and the valuation of stock-based compensation. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results will ultimately differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank balances and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful life of the property and equipment, is provided over a period of three years.

 

Intangible asset

Intangible asset represents a software license right acquired as part of exclusive licensing agreement with Tarsin Inc. to use the CAPSA platform in defined territories. The license is subject to an annual license fee, which was satisfied for 2013 in consideration for a total of approximately $234,000 paid to Tarsin. Amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $51,000 and $0 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, management determined that impairment of the intangible asset was appropriate, (see Note 4).

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, plant and equipment," long lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell.

 

Deferred finance charges

Deferred finance charges represent the unamortized financing costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments and are amortized over the terms of the respective financing arrangement using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2013, the Company paid an outside broker a one-time refundable administrative fee of approximately $150,000 related to a $30,000,000 financing transaction that was to initially close by May 31, 2013 (see AIC transaction in Note 1). Due to the uncertainty of the transaction and recoverability of the funding deposit, the Company has charged the $150,000 to expense rather than to defer this amount.

 

Convertible Debt with Beneficial Conversion Features

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC 740 “Beneficial Conversion Features”. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to paid-in-capital.

 

F- 11
 

The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued, if any, with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee options for purposes of ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount or premium and is amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense. For a conversion price change of a convertible debt issue, the additional intrinsic value of the debt conversion feature, calculated as the number of additional shares issuable due to a conversion price change multiplied by the previous conversion price, is recorded as additional debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt.

  

Convertible Debt with Adjustable Conversion Options

Convertible debt which contains rights that allow the holders to adjust their conversion price in the event the Company issues common stock at a price per share below their conversion price or convert principal into a variable number of shares with no floor price.  Accordingly, the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) apply and must be evaluated by us. ASC 815 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. These conversion features are bifurcated and recorded at fair value at each reporting date using the Black Sholes valuation model.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company will recognize revenue based on the following criteria: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Share-Based Payments

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees and consultants under ASC 718 “Share-Based Payment”. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite vesting period.

 

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505 “Equity”. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company's common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty's performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

Income taxes  

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

   

Foreign currency translation

In accordance with the provision of ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters," the Company, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, translates its balance sheet into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and translates its revenues and expenses at the average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are accumulated and charged directly to accumulated comprehensive income or (loss), a component of stockholders' equity or (deficit). Realized gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations for the period.

 

F- 12
 

Comprehensive Income or loss

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange translation are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Earnings or loss per share

The Company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," which requires disclosure on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities outstanding for each year. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented as its effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The Company excluded 20,000,000 and 16,500,000 options and 3,172,184 and 2,492,184 warrants from the calculation for the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as the exercise prices were in excess of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, all conversion prices of convertible debt were in excess of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, and accordingly, excluded from dilutive share calculation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

ASC 825 "Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. From time to time, the Company may have funds on deposit with commercial banks that exceed federally insured limits. Management does not consider this to be a significant credit risk as these banks and financial institutions have good standing.

 

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a commercial bank and in an institutional money-market fund account. The total cash balances held in a commercial bank are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000, although on January 1, 2014 this amount is scheduled to return to $100,000 per depositor, per insured bank. At times, the Company has cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. In addition, the Institutional Funds Account is insured through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $500,000 per customer, including up to $100,000 for cash. At times, the Company has cash deposits in excess of federally and institutional insured limits.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. Except for the ASUs listed above, those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

 

Reclassification

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the presentation at June 30, 2013.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Cash, (Level 1), note receivables, due to stockholders, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and loans payable (Level 2) are reflected in the balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

4 . Note Receivable and License Agreement with Tarsin

 

On October 10, 2012, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Tarsin for rights to the CAPSA technology; the agreement is for a term of three (3) years. In connection therewith, the Company acquired exclusive rights to market, sell and service CAPSA in Canada, Mexico, as well as select customers in the United States. The Company must pay $100,000, annually, beginning in year two of the agreement. Under the license, the Company is subject to a royalty of 12.5% of revenues generated by the Company from the CAPSA technology. The Company also retains the “Right of First Negotiation” to enter into markets in the United States, which do not overlap with the existing contractual relationships that Tarsin has with Stations Casino in Nevada. Since the date of the license agreement, the Company advanced Tarsin approximately $234,000 and applied such amount to the license. Amortization of said license for the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $51,000 and zero, respectively. Management determined that due to the financial difficulties of Tarsin and their bankruptcy filing, the ability for the Company to execute on the licensed technology may be hindered. Accordingly, the remaining capitalized amounts of approximately $183,000 were impaired as of June 30, 2013. The charge for impairment is included in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company made advances to Tarsin totaling $241,000. The Company entered into a note agreement with Tarsin to be repaid by September 16, 2013, with interest at 0.25%, per annum. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company advanced Tarsin an additional $182,000 with aggregate advances of approximately $423,000. This note and additional advances was not repaid as of June 30, 2013. Management determined that due to the financial difficulties of Tarsin and their bankruptcy filing, there is substantial doubt about the ability to be repaid on the aggregate amount of the note receivable from Tarsin. Accordingly, management reserved the full amount of advances totaling $423,000 and charged operations.

 

The Company paid consulting fees to Tarsin’s president of approximately $73,000 during the 2013 fiscal year.

 

5.   Investment, at cost and Deferred Financing Costs

 

Investment, at cost

During 2013, the Company made a partial payment of approximately $180,000 towards acquiring a 10% common equity investment in KO Gaming, Inc. and a 5% common equity investment in KO Entertainment, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million. If the funds are received from the $30 million investment discussed in Note 1, management will perform further due diligence and reassess the business opportunities.

 

Management determined that since the initial investment was made, an impairment of the asset value had occurred. Management determined that the remaining value was minimal, if any, and fully impaired the investment as of June 30, 2013. The charge for impairment is included in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

Per the terms of the of a funding agreement disclosed in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements with AIC Group Holdings Limited, the Company paid a one-time administration fee of $150,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. As discussed in Note 2, due to the uncertainty surrounding the transaction the Company has charged the $150,000 to expense rather than to defer this amount.

 

6. Equipment, Net

 

Equipment consists of cost of computer equipment of approximately $25,000 and $20,400, at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and related accumulated depreciation of approximately $18,900 and $17,700 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $1,200 and $1,200 during fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

F- 14
 

 

7. Bank Indebtedness

 

Bank indebtedness was comprised of a Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) demand term loan and an operating credit facility. Starting July 2008, the loan was repayable on a monthly basis at $1,792 plus interest, at RBC’s prime rate plus 2% per annum. The loan was scheduled to mature in June 2013. The loan was secured by a general security agreement signed by the Company constituting a first ranking security interest in all personal properties of the Company and personal guarantees from certain stockholders. In 2010, the Company defaulted on the note and RBC obtained a judgment against the Company and it guarantors.

 

In May 2012, the loan was satisfied by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who was a co-guarantor on the debt, in the amount of $162,500. The Company entered into a note agreement to repay CEO the funds used to satisfy the RBC note. The co-guarantor was responsible for $51,000 of the bank indebtedness and remitted said funds along with funds provided by the Company’s CEO. The co-guarantor forgave the Company of any indebtedness due him as part of the settlement. Accordingly, a total gain of approximately $69,000 was recognized on settlement of debt during the year ended June 30, 2012.

In connection with the assumption of convertible notes from MEXI in June 2011 of approximately $2.1 million, the Company required each holder to agree to certain terms and conditions. The holders agreed to accept shares of common stock at $0.01 or $0.05 per share, depending on the nature and terms of their then existing note. No holder may demand repayment under the terms of the assumption. All notes will be converted into common stock based on the original principal of the note, exclusive of accrued interest. If all notes were converted at their respected principal amounts, the Company would issue approximately 128 million shares of our common stock. As of the audit report date, the Company has converted approximately $636,060 of these notes. The Company intend to satisfy the remaining notes with common stock by fiscal year end 2014.

 

During the year ended matured June 30, 2013, the Company issued convertible notes totaling approximately $130,000 to various parties for cash.

On June 27, 2012 plaintiffs Joseph R. Cellura as Chairman and CEO of Game2Mobile and Joseph R. Cellura individually filed a summons and complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Action”) against the Company, our COO Patrick Shuster (“Shuster”), our CEO Craig Fielding (“Fielding”) and certain other defendants not affiliated with the Company. The Company, Shuster and Fielding were never served with the summons and complaint, and, upon information and belief, neither have any of the remaining defendants. Plaintiffs allege 12 different causes of action against various defendants, but only Count XI is alleged against the Company. In this count, plaintiff Cellura individually alleges that the Company (among other defendants) breached his employment agreement with the Company and seeks damages in excess of $5,000,000. The complaint does not give any detail of the specific breaches by any of the defendants; nor does it describe how plaintiff has been damaged for a sum in excess of $5,000,000. As set forth elsewhere in this Report the Company never entered into any employment agreement with Mr. Cellura. The Company also has various counterclaims against Mr. Cellura. The complaint also alleges certain securities law violations against all individual defendants. Lastly, the complaint alleges various causes of action against the individual defendants for intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, interference with various business opportunities, prospective advantage, and negligent supervision.

 

In October 2012 the Company and Cellura as well as certain of the individual defendants named in the Action entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which (among other matters) Cellura agreed to discontinue the Action against the Company and file a stipulation of discontinuance with prejudice with the Court in which the Action was pending. The parties also agreed to exchange general releases with each other such that all claims by Cellura and his affiliates against the Company were resolved.

 

The Company is a creditor in two related bankruptcy cases in the U.S.Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company has filed proof of claims in both In re Game2Mobile, Case No. 13-52062 and In re Tarsin Inc, Case No. 13-53607. The Company will also be submitting administrative expense claims.

 

12. Stockholders’ Deficit

 

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. At the present time, assuming all of the rights and obligations to issue approximately 253,000,000 shares of common stock under convertible notes, warrants and stock options became due as of June 30, 2013, the Company would not have sufficient authorized common shares to fulfill such obligations. However, Company’s two officers, who are also directors, control sufficient votes through their holdings of Series A and B Preferred Stock to increase the authorized shares at any time, when deemed appropriate. The Company intends to increase our authorized common shares in the near future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company has 100,000,000 preferred shares authorized, having a par value of $.001 per share.

 

In November 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, whereby the designations of Series A and Series B preferred stock were established, and the number of Series A preferred shares to be issued at 5,000,000 and the number of Series B preferred shares to be issued at 15,000,000 were set. The rights and privileges of the Series A shares consist of super voting rights at 200 votes per share held, conversion rights on a one-to-one basis with common stock, and liquidation preference as described below. The rights and privileges of the Series B shares consist of voting rights equal to one vote per share held, conversion rights equal to Series A and liquidation preference as described below.

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any common stock or Series B preferred stock liquidation preference, the holders of the Series A preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the original amount paid by the holder thereof for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned by such holder as of the effective date of such liquidation, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned of record by such holder as of the liquidation date (as adjusted for any combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like with respect to such shares). Series B preferred stock is next in liquidation preference after the Series A preferred stock, and is computed consistently with the formula above for the Series A preferred stock.

 

F- 19
 

 

On September 21, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved designations for Series C Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, the Company filed the designations with Nevada Secretary of State to reserve 40,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The shares are voting, will pay no dividend, each share is convertible into four (4) shares of common stock, and have a liquidation preference after the Series A & B Preferred Stock. No Series C shares have been issued.

 

On December 1, 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved employment contracts with two additional employees. In connection therewith, the two employees were to be issued 4,000,000 and 2,000,000 Series B Preferred stock, respectively, which were deemed vested on the date of commitment. The 6,000,000 preferred shares were valued at $0.007 on the date of issuance based on the market value of the Company’s common stock, and as a result, the Company recorded $42,000 of compensation expense which is included in selling, general and administrative expense during year ended June 30, 2012. These shares were not issued and were deemed cancelled in May 2012. As appropriate,the Company did not reverse the compensation expense upon the cancellation of the commitment to issue such shares in May 2012.

Such warrants were issued in connection with an issuance of convertible notes amounting to approximately $130,000. The Company determined that the value associated with the granting of these warrants associated with this convertible note was approximately $3,000, all of which was amortized in fiscal 2013.

Options

 

On September 1, 2011, the Company granted 20,000,000 stock options to directors and officers of the Company, pursuant to the stock option plan established by the Company. One fourth of the options vested immediately, with one quarter vesting on each anniversary thereafter. The options are exercisable at $0.007 per share and have a ten-year contractual life. The grant date fair value of these options was determined to be $140,000 at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of options granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model during the year ended June 30, 2012:

 

Annual dividend yield      
Expected life (years)     6.5  
Risk-free interest rate     0.97 %
Expected volatility     346 %

 

At June 30, 2013, there is approximately $25,000 of unrecognized expense associated with the issuance of stock options, of which $17,500 and $7,500 in expense is expected to be recognized in fiscal 2014 and 2015, respectively.

 

During February 2013, the Company issued 10,000,000 options to a third-party consultant for services to be rendered. There were no terms to the options and thus, it has been determined that the exercise price is the fair market value on the date of exercise and the options carry a ten (10) year contractual life. Half of the options vest upon commencement of the contract, and the other half vest at the anniversary date of the contract. The options are valued at each reporting date based on the guidance of ASC 505. The Company used the following range of inputs to the Black-Scholes pricing model during the year ended June 30, 2013:

 

Annual dividend yield      
Expected life (years)     5.25-5.5  
Risk-free interest rate     0.78-1.41 %
Expected volatility     339-341 %

 

Stock option expense related to these options was approximately $17,500 during the year ended June 30, 2013. Stock option expense for all stock options during the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $208,000 and $53,000, respectively.

13. Income Tax

 

The Company's income taxes are as follows:

 

    June 30,     June 30,  
    2013     2012  
             
Expected income tax benefit at the combined statutory rate of 35%   $ 1,603,000     $ 516,000  
Non-deductible stock compensation and other     (558,000 )     (67,000 )
U.S. effective rate in excess of Canadian tax rate     (79,000 )     (51,000 )
Valuation allowance     (966,000 )     (398,000 )
                 
Benefit from income taxes   $     $  

 

The components of deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

    June 30,
2013
    June 30,
2012
 
             
Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 1,495,000     $ 450,000  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities     799,000       391,000  
Valuation allowance     (2,294,000 )     (841,000 )
                 
Net   $     $  

 

The components of net loss for fiscal 2013 and 2012 before income tax consisted of the following: 

 

    Year Ended June 30,  
Description   2013     2012  
             
U.S. Operations   $ (3,878,000 )   $ (1,024,000 )
Canadian Operations     (930,000 )     (597,000 )
Total net loss   $ (4,808,000 )   $ (1,621,000 )

 

F- 22
 

 

The Company has net operating loss carry forwards available to be applied against future years' taxable income.  Due to the losses from operations and expected future operating results, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carry forward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred tax assets and current income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $2,700,000 of Federal, provincial and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards available to offset future years’ taxable income. Such carry forwards expire between 2026 and 2032. Due to a change in ownership as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to share issuances exceeding 50%, these net operating losses will likely be limited to a nominal amount, annually. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company excluded NOLs prior to fiscal 2012 from its deferred tax assets. The Canadian NOL will be calculated using the Canadian tax rate of 26% compared to the U.S. tax rate of 36%.

 

The Company has not filed its United States Federal and State tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2012 or 2013. Management intends to comply with the requirements to file the tax returns upon raising capital. Failure to file the tax returns could result in penalties assessed against the Company. The Company has identified the United States as its "major" tax jurisdiction.  The United States Federal return years 2008 through 2011 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service; however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations.

  

During September 2011, the Canada Revenue Agency informed the Company that business losses amounting to approximately $1.2 million from fiscal 2007 and 2008 are disallowed.  

 

The Company is required to report compensation for its officers. During the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid advances to two officers totaling $0 and $125,675. The Company has not reported these advances as wages subject to withholding of Federal and state income taxes. The Company may be subject to taxes, penalties and interest if such advances are not properly reported in a timely manner.

 

14. Subsequent Events

 

In June 2013 the Company formed Bad Rabbit Inc., a Nevada corporation. Bad Rabbit was initially set up in order to operationally segment Company’s development team, which the Company began hiring in July 2013. Concurrent with the hiring, the Company engaged a marketing company in the UK, The Alternative Ltd., to advise the Company on creating a new brand for Company’s mobile platform. A London-based agency, The Alternative, purveyors of brand engineering since 1996, started their business to provide fresh thinking and bespoke alternatives for clients wanting to be brand leaders. Their core services include B2B campaigns and creative direction, employee engagement and internal marketing, event management and launch events, social media, and leadership development and engagement. Their clients include Skype, Orange, Sainsburys, YO! Sushi, Friends Life, Microsoft, American Express and Virgin.

 

In August 2013 the Company formed ThreeFiftyNine Inc., a Nevada corporation, as the first step in establishing a brand.

 

The Company leases office space in Incline Village, Nevada pursuant to a lease executed in July 2013. The monthly rent is approximately $4,500. The initial lease is for three months with various options to extend through July 2015 if desired.

 

From July 1, 2013 until October 15, 2013 the Company raised funding in the amount of $845,000 from the issuance of loan agreements. The terms of the loans have been disclosed in Note 9.

 

From July 1, 2013 through October 15, 2013 the Company paid approximately $170,000 to the CEO. Approximately $60,000 was paid as salary and approximately $110,000 was paid to satisfy a loan the CEO advanced the Company relating to the RBC Note (see Notes 7 and 10).

 

From July 1, 2013 through October 15, 2013 the Company paid approximately $75,000 to the COO. Approximately $60,000 was paid as salary and approximately $15,000 was paid to reimburse office allowance per the employment agreement.

 

From July 1, 2013 through October 28, 2013 the Company issued an aggregate of 35 million shares as a result of debt conversions amounting to $425,000. In addition 5 million shares were issued for services valued at approximately $35,000.

 

The Company is proposing an increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock available for future issuance in order to have shares available for a variety of corporate purposes including the conversion to common stock of outstanding convertible notes. Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, including 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 15,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the Company is proposing to increase the authorized common stock to 750,000,000 shares. The Company currently have 452,400,864 shares of common stock outstanding and 13,352,184 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants and 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 4,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. The Company do not propose to increase our authorized preferred stock, which will remain unchanged. In August 2013, the Company filed a PREFORM 14C with the SEC to increase the authorized shares of its common stock to 750 million. The Company will be finalizing and filing that document and then notifying shareholders as required and changing our Articles of Incorporation to reflect the additional shares. Once this process is complete the Company will have sufficient common shares to convert existing note holders.

11.  Indemnification.  The following indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be contractual in nature and not subject to retroactive removal or reduction by amendment.

 

(a)  This corporation shall indemnify any director and any officer 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 or criminal, judicial, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he/she is or was serving at the request of this corporation as a director or officer or member of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he/she acted in good faith or in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of this corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he/she had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.  However, with respect to any action by or in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought determines, on application, that despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in view of all the circumstances of the case.

 

Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or in a plea of nolo contendere or its  equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the party did not meet the applicable standard of conduct.  Indemnification hereunder may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding, on a preliminary determination that the director, officer, employee or agent met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(b)           The corporation shall also indemnify any director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, against all expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith, without the necessity of an independent determination that such director or officer met any appropriate standard of conduct.

 

(c)           The indemnification provided for herein shall continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such persons.

 

(d)           In addition to the indemnification provided for herein, the corporation shall have power to make any other or further indemnification, except an indemnification against gross negligence or willful misconduct, under any resolution or agreement duly adopted by the Board of Directors, or duly authorized by a majority of the shareholders.

 

12.  Stock Splits without Stockholder Approval.  The Board of Directors, without the consent of the stockholders of the corporation, may adopt any recapitalization affecting the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation by effecting a forward or reverse split of all of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of the corporation, with appropriate adjustment to the corporation’s capital accounts.

11.  Indemnification.  The following indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be contractual in nature and not subject to retroactive removal or reduction by amendment.

 

(a)  This corporation shall indemnify any director and any officer 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 or criminal, judicial, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he/she is or was serving at the request of this corporation as a director or officer or member of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he/she acted in good faith or in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of this corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he/she had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.  However, with respect to any action by or in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought determines, on application, that despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in view of all the circumstances of the case.

 

Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or in a plea of nolo contendere or its  equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the party did not meet the applicable standard of conduct.  Indemnification hereunder may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding, on a preliminary determination that the director, officer, employee or agent met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(b)           The corporation shall also indemnify any director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, against all expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith, without the necessity of an independent determination that such director or officer met any appropriate standard of conduct.

 

(c)           The indemnification provided for herein shall continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such persons.

 

(d)           In addition to the indemnification provided for herein, the corporation shall have power to make any other or further indemnification, except an indemnification against gross negligence or willful misconduct, under any resolution or agreement duly adopted by the Board of Directors, or duly authorized by a majority of the shareholders.

 

12.  Stock Splits without Stockholder Approval.  The Board of Directors, without the consent of the stockholders of the corporation, may adopt any recapitalization affecting the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation by effecting a forward or reverse split of all of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of the corporation, with appropriate adjustment to the corporation’s capital accounts.

Section B.     Liquidation Rights .  In the event of any Liquidation (as defined below), dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the Corporation shall be made in the following manner:

 

B.1           Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock or Series B Liquidation Preference (as defined below), the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation an amount (the “ Series A Liquidation Preference ”) per share of Series A Preferred equal to the product of (i) the original amount paid by the holder thereof (the “ Original Issue Price ”) for each share of Series A Preferred owned by such holder as of the effective date of such liquidation (the “ Liquidation Date ”), multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred owned of record by such holder as of the Liquidation Date (as adjusted for any combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like with respect to such shares in the manner set forth herein).

 

B.2           Thereafter, the Series B Liquidation Preference shall be made out of any of the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any.

 

B.3           Thereafter, any remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock.

 

B.4           The following events shall be considered a liquidation under this Section B, provided such event has been approved by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Common Stock voting as a separate class:

 

        (a)           any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization own less than 50% of the Corporation’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or any transaction or series of related transactions in which in excess of 50% of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred (an “Acquisition”); or

 

        (b)           a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (an “Asset Transfer”).

 

B.5           If, upon any liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series A Preferred of the Liquidation Preference set forth in Section I.B.1 after payment in full of all other outstanding debts, judgments or other obligations of the Corporation as of the Liquidation Date, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred at the time outstanding, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled if the entire amount due and payable pursuant to Section I.B.1 above were available for distribution at such time.

 

Section C.     Voting Rights .  On all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of the Series A Preferred held by such holder multiplied by 200, on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter.  If no such record date is established, the date to be used for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters shall be the date on which notice of the meeting of the shareholder at which the vote is to be taken is marked, or the date any written consent of shareholders is solicited if the vote is not to be taken at a meeting.  The holders of Series A Preferred shall not vote as a separate class, but shall vote with the holders of the Common Stock.

 

24
 

 

Section D.     Conversion Rights .  Each share of Series A Preferred  shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, provided, however, that such conversion would not violate any applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation, or any judgment, writ, decree, or order binding upon the Corporation or the holder, or any provision of the Corporation’s or holder’s, if applicable, amended Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor conflict with or contravene the provisions of any agreement to which the Corporation and the holder are parties or by which they are bound. The foregoing conversion calculation shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Ratio.” Said Conversion Ratio shall be subject to equitable adjustment at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation in the event of the occurrence of capital events which make such adjustment appropriate, such as a dividend payable in shares of common stock, combinations of the common stock, a merger or consolidation, or the like.

 

D.1            Conversion Procedure . The holder shall effect conversions by surrendering the certificate(s) representing the Series A Preferred to be converted to the Corporation, together with a form of conversion notice satisfactory to the Corporation, which shall be irrevocable. If the holder is converting less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred represented by the certificate tendered, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the holder a new certificate representing the Series A Preferred not converted. Not later than five calendar days after the conversion date, the Corporation will deliver to the holder, (i) a certificate or certificates, which shall be subject to restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue such certificates until the Series A Preferred certificate or certificates is/are delivered to the Corporation. If the Corporation does not deliver such certificate(s) by the date required under this paragraph, the holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before receipt of such Common Stock certificate(s), to rescind such conversion.

 

D.2            Adjustments on Stock Splits, Dividends and Distributions .  If the Corporation, at any time while any Series A Preferred is outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, whether payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue reclassification of shares of any Common Stock shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to this paragraph, the Corporation shall promptly mail to the holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

25
 

 

D.3            Adjustments on Reclassifications, Consolidations and Mergers .  In case of reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then each holder of Series A Preferred then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series A Preferred only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of the Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would have been entitled.  The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this paragraph upon any conversion following such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers, or share exchanges.

 

D.4            Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred.  All shares of Common Stock (including a fraction thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share.  If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, round the fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.

 

Section E.    No Redemption.  The Corporation shall be under no obligation to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred at any time.

 

ARTICLE II:   The Series B Preferred shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth as follows:

 

Section A.     Dividend Rights .  Holders of Series B Preferred shall not be entitled to any dividend rights.

 

Section B.     Liquidation Rights .  In the event of any Liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the Corporation shall be made in the following manner:

 

26
 

 

B.1           Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock, but only after giving effect to the Series A Liquidation Preference, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation an amount (the “ Series B Liquidation Preference ”) per share of Series B Preferred equal to the product of (i) the original amount paid by the holder thereof (the “ Original Issue Price ”) for each share of Series B Preferred owned by such holder as of the effective date of such liquidation (the “ Liquidation Date ”), multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred owned of record by such holder as of the Liquidation Date (as adjusted for any combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like with respect to such shares in the manner set forth herein).

 

B.2           Thereafter, any remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock.

 

B.3           The following events shall be considered a liquidation under this Section B, provided such event has been approved by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Common Stock voting as a separate class:

 

        (a)           an Acquisition; or

 

        (b)           an Asset Transfer.

 

B.4           If, upon any liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series B Preferred of the Liquidation Preference set forth in Section II.B.1 after payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and all other outstanding debts, judgments or other obligations of the Corporation as of the Liquidation Date, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred at the time outstanding, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled if the entire amount due and payable pursuant to Section II.B.1 above were available for distribution at such time.

 

Section C.     Voting Rights .  On all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of the Series B Preferred held by such holder on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter.  If no such record date is established, the date to be used for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters shall be the date on which notice of the meeting of the shareholder at which the vote is to be taken is marked, or the date any written consent of shareholders is solicited if the vote is not to be taken at a meeting.  The holders of Series B Preferred shall not vote as a separate class, but shall vote with the holders of the Common Stock.

 

Section D.     Conversion Rights .  Each share of Series B Preferred  shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, provided, however, that such conversion would not violate any applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation, or any judgment, writ, decree, or order binding upon the Corporation or the holder, or any provision of the Corporation’s or holder’s, if applicable, amended Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor conflict with or contravene the provisions of any agreement to which the Corporation and the holder are parties or by which they are bound. The foregoing conversion calculation shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Ratio.” Said Conversion Ratio shall be subject to equitable adjustment at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation in the event of the occurrence of capital events which make such adjustment appropriate, such as a dividend payable in shares of common stock, combinations of the common stock, a merger or consolidation, or the like.

(i) In respect to remuneration paid to Executive if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication which is non appealable that such remuneration was in violation of law;

(ii) On account of conduct which is finally adjudged and non-appealable to have been willful misconduct by Executive; and

(iii) If a final decision by a Court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification to Executive is not lawful, and such decision is non-appealable.

 

(c) All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Executive is a director, Executive, officer, consultant or agent of Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, Executive, partner, consultant or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Executive shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive was an officer or director of Company or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

 

(d) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Executive under this Employment Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent.

(g) To the extent allowable under Nevada law, the burden of proof with respect to any proceeding or determination with respect to Executive’s entitlement to indemnification under this Employment Agreement shall be on Company.

 

(h) If any provision of this Section 13 shall be determined as conflicting with any provision of (1) Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, (2) Nevada law, or (3) the provisions of any other agreement between the parties as to indemnification, and such other document or law would provide Executive with greater rights to benefits of indemnification, then such other document or law shall prevail; it being the intention of the parties hereto to provide maximum indemnification to Executive. Otherwise, unless prohibited by law, any document or law which affords Executive with greater rights of indemnification by Company than do the provisions of this Employment Agreement shall have superiority over the provisions of this Employment Agreement.

 

(i) In support of its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees to maintain a director’s and officer’s liability and other insurance policies covering the Executive and further agrees that these policies shall be maintained both during and after the end of the Term of employment so as to provide as broad and as complete coverage as is reasonably available in relation both to the Executive’s position during the Term of Employment and to any claims arising thereafter but related to said Term of Employment.

Consorteum Holdings Inc. (the Company)

And Craig Fielding (Executive)

 

Exhibit A

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT is made this 1 st day of September 2012 by and between Consorteum Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the "Company") and Craig Fielding (the "Indemnitee").

 

RECITALS

 

A. The Indemnitee has been requested to serve, or is presently serving, as a Director and/or an Officer of the Company. The Company desires the Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve in such capacity. The Company believes that the Indemnitee's undertaking or continued undertaking of such responsibilities is important to the Company and that the protection afforded by this Agreement will enhance the Indemnitee's ability to discharge such responsibilities under existing circumstances. The Indemnitee is willing, subject to certain conditions including without limitation the execution and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the Company's agreement to provide the Indemnitee at all times the broadest and most favorable (to Indemnitee) indemnification permitted by applicable law (whether by legislative action or judicial decision), to serve or to continue to serve in that capacity.

 

B. In addition to the indemnification to which the Indemnitee is entitled under the Composite Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate") or the By-laws, as amended, of the Company (the "By-laws"), the Company has/will purchased and maintains insurance protecting its officers and directors and certain other persons (including the Indemnitee) against certain losses arising out of actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings to which such persons may be made or threatened to be made parties ("D&O Insurance").

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the reliance of the Indemnitee hereon in continuing to serve the Company in his present capacity and in undertaking to serve the Company in any additional capacity or capacities, the Company and the Indemnitee agree as follows:

 

1. Indemnification - General. The Company shall indemnify and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to Indemnitee to the fullest extent, and only to the extent, permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement. Although there can be no assurance as to the continuation or renewal of the D&O Insurance or that any such D&O Insurance will provide coverage for losses to which the Indemnitee may be exposed, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, taking into consideration availability of D&O Insurance in the marketplace, to continue D&O Insurance in effect at current levels for the duration of Indemnitee's service and for six (6) years thereafter.

 

14
 

 

2. Proceedings Other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 2 if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to, or otherwise incurs Expenses in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

3. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 3, if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to, or otherwise incurs Expenses in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company if applicable law prohibits such indemnification; provided, however, that, if applicable law so permits, indemnification against Expenses shall nevertheless be made by the Company despite such adjudication of liability, if and only to the extent that the Courts of the State of Nevada, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine.

 

4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For the purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

5. Contribution. In the event that the indemnity contained in Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient to hold Indemnitee harmless in a Proceeding described therein, then in accordance with the non-exclusivity provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes and General Corporation Law and the Certificate and By-laws, and separate from and in addition to, the indemnity provided elsewhere herein, the Company shall contribute to Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other in the acts, transactions or matters to which the Proceeding relates and other equitable considerations.

 

15
 

 

6. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The determination of Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 90 days after receipt by the Company of the written request for indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

 

(b) Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification under any of Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall be determined in the specific case: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined); (ii) by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), in a written opinion if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs; or (iii) by the stockholders of the Company. If, with regard to Section 5 of this Agreement, such a determination is not permitted by law or if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, such determination shall be made by the proper Court of the State of Nevada or the court in which the Proceeding giving rise to the claim for indemnification is brought.

 

(c) In the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Indemnitee may, within 7 days after receipt of such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of "Independent Counsel" as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected shall be disqualified from acting as such. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected, or if selected shall have been objected to, in accordance with this Section 6(c), either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of the State of Nevada for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

 

16
 

 

7. Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee shall, and hereby undertakes to, repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

 

8. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. The termination of any proceeding described in any of Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

9. Term of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall commence as of the time the Indemnitee commenced to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or commenced to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue for so long as Indemnitee shall so serve or shall be, or could become, subject to any possible Proceeding in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder.

 

10. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

 

(a) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.

 

(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, or (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above.

 

(c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding or claim affected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

17
 

 

11. Enforcement.

 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving or continuing to serve in such capacity.

 

(b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of Indemnitee's reasonable fees and Expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

 

12. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate, the By-laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.

 

13. Definitions.

 

For purposes of this Agreement:

 

(a) "Corporate Status" describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.

 

(e) "Proceeding" includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

18
 

 

14. Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

(i) Against any and all expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable incurred by Executive in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the name of Company) to which Executive is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Executive is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, Executive, consultant, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a Director, officer, Executive, consultant, partner, trustee or agent regardless of his subsequent title or position at another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise;

(ii) Otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to Executive by the Company under the by-laws of the Company and Nevada General Corporation Law (“GCL”).

 

(b) No indemnity pursuant to this Section 13 shall be paid by Company:

(i) In respect to remuneration paid to Executive if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication which is non appealable that such remuneration was in violation of law;

(ii) On account of conduct which is finally adjudged and non-appealable to have been willful misconduct by Executive; and

(iii) If a final decision by a Court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification to Executive is not lawful, and such decision is non-appealable.

 

(c) All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Executive is a director, Executive, officer, consultant or agent of Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, Executive, partner, consultant or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Executive shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive was an officer or director of Company or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

 

(d) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Executive under this Employment Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent.

(e) The Company will pay all Executive fees, costs and expenses incurred under, or related to, Executive’s indemnification under this Section 13, including all legal and accounting bills, immediately upon the presentment of bills for such expenses.

This Employment Agreement shall not affect any rights of Executive against Company, any insurer, or any other person to seek indemnification or contribution.

 

(f) If Company fails to pay any expenses (including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, legal fees and expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding), Executive shall be entitled to institute suit against Company to compel such payment and Company shall pay Executive all costs and legal fees incurred in enforcing such right to prompt payment.

(g) To the extent allowable under Nevada law, the burden of proof with respect to any proceeding or determination with respect to Executive’s entitlement to indemnification under this Employment Agreement shall be on Company.

 

(h) If any provision of this Section 13 shall be determined as conflicting with any provision of (1) Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, (2) Nevada law, or (3) the provisions of any other agreement between the parties as to indemnification, and such other document or law would provide Executive with greater rights to benefits of indemnification, then such other document or law shall prevail; it being the intention of the parties hereto to provide maximum indemnification to Executive. Otherwise, unless prohibited by law, any document or law which affords Executive with greater rights of indemnification by Company than do the provisions of this Employment Agreement shall have superiority over the provisions of this Employment Agreement.

 

(i) In support of its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees to maintain a director’s and officer’s liability and other insurance policies covering the Executive and further agrees that these policies shall be maintained both during and after the end of the Term of employment so as to provide as broad and as complete coverage as is reasonably available in relation both to the Executive’s position during the Term of Employment and to any claims arising thereafter but related to said Term of Employment.

THIS AGREEMENT is made this 1 st day of September 2012 by and between Consorteum Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the "Company") and Patrick Shuster (the "Indemnitee").

 

RECITALS

 

A. The Indemnitee has been requested to serve, or is presently serving, as a Director and/or an Officer of the Company. The Company desires the Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve in such capacity. The Company believes that the Indemnitee's undertaking or continued undertaking of such responsibilities is important to the Company and that the protection afforded by this Agreement will enhance the Indemnitee's ability to discharge such responsibilities under existing circumstances. The Indemnitee is willing, subject to certain conditions including without limitation the execution and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the Company's agreement to provide the Indemnitee at all times the broadest and most favorable (to Indemnitee) indemnification permitted by applicable law (whether by legislative action or judicial decision), to serve or to continue to serve in that capacity.

 

B. In addition to the indemnification to which the Indemnitee is entitled under the Composite Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate") or the By-laws, as amended, of the Company (the "By-laws"), the Company has/will purchased and maintains insurance protecting its officers and directors and certain other persons (including the Indemnitee) against certain losses arising out of actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings to which such persons may be made or threatened to be made parties ("D&O Insurance").

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the reliance of the Indemnitee hereon in continuing to serve the Company in his present capacity and in undertaking to serve the Company in any additional capacity or capacities, the Company and the Indemnitee agree as follows:

 

1. Indemnification - General. The Company shall indemnify and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to Indemnitee to the fullest extent, and only to the extent, permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement. Although there can be no assurance as to the continuation or renewal of the D&O Insurance or that any such D&O Insurance will provide coverage for losses to which the Indemnitee may be exposed, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, taking into consideration availability of D&O Insurance in the marketplace, to continue D&O Insurance in effect at current levels for the duration of Indemnitee's service and for six (6) years thereafter.

2. Proceedings Other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 2 if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to, or otherwise incurs Expenses in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

3. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 3, if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to, or otherwise incurs Expenses in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company if applicable law prohibits such indemnification; provided, however, that, if applicable law so permits, indemnification against Expenses shall nevertheless be made by the Company despite such adjudication of liability, if and only to the extent that the Courts of the State of Nevada, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine.

 

4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For the purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

5. Contribution. In the event that the indemnity contained in Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient to hold Indemnitee harmless in a Proceeding described therein, then in accordance with the non-exclusivity provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes and General Corporation Law and the Certificate and By-laws, and separate from and in addition to, the indemnity provided elsewhere herein, the Company shall contribute to Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other in the acts, transactions or matters to which the Proceeding relates and other equitable considerations.

6. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The determination of Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 90 days after receipt by the Company of the written request for indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

 

(b) Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification under any of Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall be determined in the specific case: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined); (ii) by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), in a written opinion if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs; or (iii) by the stockholders of the Company. If, with regard to Section 5 of this Agreement, such a determination is not permitted by law or if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, such determination shall be made by the proper Court of the State of Nevada or the court in which the Proceeding giving rise to the claim for indemnification is brought.

 

(c) In the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Indemnitee may, within 7 days after receipt of such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of "Independent Counsel" as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected shall be disqualified from acting as such. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected, or if selected shall have been objected to, in accordance with this Section 6(c), either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of the State of Nevada for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

 

16
 

 

7. Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee shall, and hereby undertakes to, repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

 

8. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. The termination of any proceeding described in any of Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

9. Term of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall commence as of the time the Indemnitee commenced to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or commenced to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue for so long as Indemnitee shall so serve or shall be, or could become, subject to any possible Proceeding in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder.

 

10. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

 

(a) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.

 

(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, or (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above.

 

(c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding or claim affected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

17
 

 

11. Enforcement.

 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving or continuing to serve in such capacity.

 

(b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of Indemnitee's reasonable fees and Expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

 

12. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate, the By-laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.

 

13. Definitions.

 

For purposes of this Agreement:

 

(a) "Corporate Status" describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company.

 

(b) "Disinterested Director" means a director of the Company who is not and was not at any time a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

 

(c) "Expenses" shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or Expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend or investigating a Proceeding.

 

(d) "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.

 

(e) "Proceeding" includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

18
 

 

14. Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

 

15. Governing Law; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination.

 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF- LAW RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER TO THE LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE OR COUNTRY.

 

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon Indemnitee and upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

 

(c) No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing by the parties.

 

The parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
