FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

 

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 success of our fundraising efforts; our ability to meet our obligations, continue as a going concern or realize on our assets, if necessary to meet liabilities; international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to achieve, 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; risks related to new product development and introduction including our Universal Mobile Interface (UMI); competition including the activities of competitors and the presence of new or additional competition; the failure to gain and/or 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 obtain and/or maintain key licensing arrangements, including the CAPSA license, joint ventures and partnerships; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. Reference is made to our discussion of Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 on file with the SEC.

 

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto, or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

1.         Organization, Business 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.

 

In July 2013 the Company made a decision to recast its business as a provider of digital content across mobile devices. In conjunction therewith, the Company formed two new Nevada subsidiaries: Bad Rabbit Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine Inc. (359) and hired a senior level software development team. Moving forward, ThreeFiftyNine aims primarily at securely delivering rich mobile content across mobile devices as well as delivering diverse payment and other transactional platforms that are rapidly converging due to advances in smart phone mobile technology. ThreeFiftyNine intends 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.

 

Holdings has spent the last three years developing relationships and licensing agreements that will enable us to participate in the emerging market of mobile gaming. We intend to build our company with the capabilities to deliver rich mobile content to end users who will use their smart phones in radical new ways. In July 2013, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, ThreeFiftyNine Inc. and hired a software development team that had previously designed the world’s first regulatory compliant mobile platform for delivery of gaming content originally known as CAPSA, which met the rigorous standards of the Nevada Gaming Board. CAPSA represents the first generation software delivery platform for mobile devices.

 

The development team that we hired had spent the past five years and millions of dollars in non-recurring engineering costs to complete the development of the platform. At the heart is the capability to deliver any digital content across any cellular network to any mobile device or smart phone. This key differentiator makes it possible for us to approach many different markets that are in the business of providing mobile connectivity and mobile content.

 

In October 2012, we secured a license to market and license the CAPSA technology from Tarsin Inc. (“Tarsin”). The licensing agreement provided 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. The Tarsin license provided us with capabilities in the mobile handset market which we could use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. Tarsin Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company was a creditor in this Case No. 13-53607. In resolving the bankruptcy case, NYG Holdings LLC (“NYG”) acquired the original intellectual property from Tarsin Inc., which included the first generation CAPSA platform. On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is effective October 20, 2014, grants latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface (“UMI”). We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals. The multi-year license agreement is for five years and is thereafter renewable annually. The Company is responsible to pay royalties fees of 10% of net revenues plus $100,000 annually. However, the first 18 months of the agreement will be royalty free and the first three years of annual payments waived.

 

The UMI, which our team is developing, will be a second generation platform and will represent a key advantage for our Company as we enter into the mobile gaming market as the UMI allows content providers the ability to develop content once, while the UMI platform identifies the mobile device and delivers the proper display format for that mobile device. Without a universal platform, content providers must reprogram their mobile application each time they update or add to their content; or the mobile device operating system is updated. We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals.

 

7
 

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 may enter into a licensing and reselling agreement once Knockout launches their platform. Since July 2012, we paid $180,432 to Knockout as an interim payment against a future equity position in Knockout. If the Company obtains funding, we may purchase up to a 10% equity position in Knockout pending further due diligence.

 

Going Concern and Management Plan

 

The Company's condensed 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 has suffered losses from operations. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of approximately $11.8 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 $411,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. Subsequent to such date, the Company has raised additional capital totaling approximately $126,000; such proceeds were used for working capital of the business. The Company requires 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:

 

Basis of Presentation

The foregoing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for all the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consorteum Holdings, Inc., Consorteum Inc., Bad Rabbit, Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine, Inc.; ThreeFiftyNine, Inc. had very few activities during the year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

8
 

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 the utilization of future income tax assets, potential penalties on certain wages, 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.

 

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 options and 3,172,184 warrants from the calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, 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.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity, or DSE, in its entirety from GAAP. Under existing guidance, DSEs are required to report incremental information, including inception-to-date financial information, in their financial statements. A DSE is an entity devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and for which either planned principal operations have not yet commenced or have commenced but there has been no significant revenues generated from that business. Entities classified as DSEs will no longer be subject to these incremental reporting requirements after adopting ASU No. 2014-10. ASU No. 2014-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required for the elimination of incremental DSE disclosures. Prior to the issuance of ASU No. 2014-10, the Company had met the definition of a DSE since its inception. The Company elected to adopt this ASU early, and therefore it has eliminated the incremental disclosures previously required of DSEs, starting with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40)”, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and the Company will continue to assess the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

3.        Note Receivable and License Agreement with Tarsin

 

On October 10, 2012, the Company entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with Tarsin for rights to the CAPSA technology. The licensing agreement provided 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. 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. The license was being amortized; however, 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 amount as of June 30, 2013 of approximately $183,000 was impaired. 

 

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 was 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 in fiscal 2013.

 

The Company paid consulting fees to Tarsin’s president of approximately $50,100 and $34,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 the Company owed Tarsin’s president $100,000 for services rendered.

 

4. Accrued Expenses

 

The Company's accrued expenses are as follows:

Other Matters  

 

As of the 2014 fiscal year end, the Company was a creditor in two related bankruptcy cases in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California (“Court”). The Company filed proofs of claim and submitted an administrative expense claim for critical support services rendered to debtors in both In re Game2Mobile, Case No. 13-52062 and In re Tarsin, Inc. Case No. 13-53607. On or about June 10, 2014, the Court approved the debtors’ motion to sell substantially all of their assets to NYG Holdings, LLC (“NYG”) and a related motion to approve a compromise of controversy with Tarsin (Europe) LTD., the largest unsecured creditor in these bankruptcy cases. As related to the sale, the Company negotiated a settlement with NYG whereby, among other things, NYG would grant the Company a new license for the CAPSA platform and the Company would withdraw its claims in the bankruptcy cases upon receipt of the license with NYG.

 

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is effective October 20, 2014, grants latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface. We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals. The multi-year license agreement is for five years and is thereafter renewable annually. The Company is responsible to pay royalties fees of 10% of net revenues plus $100,000 annually. However, the first 18 months of the agreement will be royalty free and the first three years of annual payments waived.

 

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 was for three months with various options to extend through July 2015 if desired.

8. 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 186,000,000 shares of common stock under convertible notes, warrants and stock options became due as of June 30, 2015, 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 September 30, 2014, the Company has 100,000,000 preferred shares authorized, having a par value of $.001 per share.

 

Of the preferred shares authorized, 5,000,000 have been designated as Series A preferred shares and 15,000,000 have been designated as Series B preferred shares. 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 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.

 

Common Stock

 

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. The Company does 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 in the near future 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.

 

Warrants

 

There were no warrants issued to purchase common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, there were warrants exercisable for 3,172,184 shares of common stock.

 

14
 

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.

At September 30, 2014, there is approximately $2,917 of unrecognized expense associated with the issuance of these stock options, which will be recognized during fiscal 2015.

 

Stock option expense related to these options was approximately $4,375 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Stock option expense for all stock options during the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $4,875 and $16,875, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2014, 20,000,000 options were outstanding with 19,375,000 exercisable.

  

9. Subsequent Events

 

From October 1, 2014 until November 12, 2014 the Company received an advance from the CEO of the Company in the amount of $186,000.

 

On October 20, 2014, the Company executed an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license grants latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface.

Item 2.         Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

OVERVIEW

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.

 

In July 2013 the Company made a decision to recast its business as a provider of digital content across mobile devices. In conjunction therewith, the Company formed two new Nevada subsidiaries: Bad Rabbit Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine Inc. (359) and hired a senior level software development team. Moving forward, ThreeFiftyNine aims primarily at securely delivering rich mobile content across mobile devices as well as delivering diverse payment and other transactional platforms that are rapidly converging due to advances in smart phone mobile technology. ThreeFiftyNine intends 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.

 

Holdings has spent the last three years developing relationships and licensing agreements that will enable us to participate in the emerging market of mobile gaming. We intend to build our company with the capabilities to deliver rich mobile content to end users who will use their smart phones in radical new ways. In July 2013, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, ThreeFiftyNine Inc. and hired a software development team that had previously designed the world’s first regulatory compliant mobile platform for delivery of gaming content originally known as CAPSA, which met the rigorous standards of the Nevada Gaming Board. CAPSA represents the first generation software delivery platform for mobile devices.

 

The development team that we hired had spent the past five years and millions of dollars in non-recurring engineering costs to complete the development of the platform. At the heart is the capability to deliver any digital content across any cellular network to any mobile device or smart phone. This key differentiator makes it possible for us to approach many different markets that are in the business of providing mobile connectivity and mobile content.

 

In October 2012, we secured a license to market and license the CAPSA technology from Tarsin Inc. (“Tarsin”). The licensing agreement provided 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. The Tarsin license provided us with capabilities in the mobile handset market which we could use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. Tarsin Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company was a creditor in this Case No. 13-53607. In resolving the bankruptcy case, NYG Holdings LLC (“NYG”) acquired the original intellectual property from Tarsin Inc., which included the first generation CAPSA platform. On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is effective October 20, 2014, grants latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface (“UMI”). We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals. The multi-year license agreement is for five years and is thereafter renewable annually. The Company is responsible to pay royalties fees of 10% of net revenues plus $100,000 annually. However, the first 18 months of the agreement will be royalty free and the first three years of annual payments waived.

 

The UMI, which our team is developing, will be a second generation platform and will represent a key advantage for our Company as we enter into the mobile gaming market as the UMI allows content providers the ability to develop content once, while the UMI platform identifies the mobile device and delivers the proper display format for that mobile device. Without a universal platform, content providers must reprogram their mobile application each time they update or add to their content; or the mobile device operating system is updated. We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals.

 

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 may enter into a licensing and reselling agreement once Knockout launches their platform. Since July 2012, we paid $180,432 to Knockout as an interim payment against a future equity position in Knockout. If the Company obtains funding, we may purchase up to a 10% equity position in Knockout pending further due diligence.

 

16
 

 

We have continued to incur losses for the periods presented. 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.

 

We have significant liabilities which we acquired through the acquisition of MEXI and through the development of our business and the raising of working capital through loans and notes. We intend to work through reducing or eliminating our liabilities, and to continue to raise additional working capital to meet the demands of the Company’s new product offerings.

 

The Company’s 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 for the quarters presented are reflective of an early stage company that has pilot projects only in place but no active programs. Results for the periods presented have been impacted by the limited financial resources available.

 

See “Forward Looking Statements” on the first page of this Report.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We had $60,636 in cash at September 30, 2014.  Our working capital deficit amounted to approximately $11.8 million at September 30, 2014.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $352,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss from continuing operations of approximately $882,000 adjusted accrued interest of approximately $270,000 and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $252,000.

 

The Company did not use or were provided cash from investing activities.

 

The Company had positive cash of approximately $367,000 from financing activities, all of which related to proceeds from stockholder advances.

 

There are no significant commitments for the purchase of capital assets or intangible assets, or for operating leases.

 

Going Concern

 

We have suffered losses since inception, and at September 30, 2014, we have a working capital deficit of approximately $11.8 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have secured net working capital of approximately $367,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. We require additional equity or debt financing to meet our 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 past due and is secured by all assets of the Company. We are attempting to restructure some of the debt and secure additional financing to satisfy our existing obligations and provide for sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s future obligations but there are no guarantees that we will be able to do so.

 

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. 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.

Results of Operations

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and wages for our employees, including stock based compensation, along with professional fees and service fees in connection with maintaining our status as a public company.

 

The increase in our selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 when compared with the prior period is primarily attributable to a minimal increase in an employee’s wages of approximately $15,000 and additional travel of $15,000. In addition, stock compensation was reduced by $60,000 offset by additional legal expense of $50,000.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest consists of interest payable at stated rates on interest bearing indebtedness.

 

The decrease in interest expense during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 when compared with the prior period is primarily due to the absence of initial flat fee interest charged which were present in the quarter ending September 30, 2013 for a certain note holder.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act ) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of September 30, 2014, 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 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 September 30, 2014.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014. We identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

 

18
 

 

  o 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.

 

  o 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.

 

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 as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during our last quarter (our fourth quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 7.6 Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party.

Element Descriptions:

 

The Capsa platform is an architecture allowing for a single application to be deployed and run on multiple devices regardless of limiting factors such as operating systems, screen resolutions, development languages, distribution methods, etc. In order to accomplish this, the platform was broken down into two key components: the Capsa Viewer and the Brand Application. The Capsa Viewer is installed directly on each device, while the Brand Application is housed completely server side and is delivered to the device at run-time and displayed via the Capsa Viewer.

 

The Capsa viewer, in its most basic terms, is a custom designed mobile browser. Nearly every device on the market has differing levels of functionality and compatibility due to unique operating systems, web browsers, development platforms, and hardware limitations. In order to combat these issues, the Capsa platform must level the playing field across all of these devices, which is exactly what the Capsa Viewer does. The Capsa Viewer itself is built natively for each group of commonalities between phones, be that operating system, or development platform, with a specific set of functionality that is common for all instances. This means that a version of the Capsa Viewer that is built for Java based phones will have the exact same capabilities as a version that is built for BREW based phones. Leveling the playing field in this way allows Tarsin to build Brand Applications that can be designed to the capabilities of the Capsa viewer, which is common to all platforms, instead of designing applications around the key constraints of each device.

The Capsa Viewer has been built to function using a wide range of standard web based technologies including JavaScript, HTML, XHTML, CSS, etc. This provides a broad range of design possibilities for Brand Applications as most anything that can be designed for web usage can also be designed easily for mobile as well.

 

One of the major benefits of building our platform based on the Capsa Viewer is that the only piece of the overall application that is actually installed onto a device is the Viewer itself. The Brand Application as a whole is housed completely on a server, which is delivered at run-time. This provides two important value-adds for the customer. First, the installed application on device is very small, since it does not contain any of the content that is brand specific. This means that the installed application can be delivered very quickly as well as run on devices with low memory capabilities that would generally otherwise not be able to run very robust applications. The second major benefit is that since the brand application is being delivered at run-time, changes can be made to the brand application itself without the need for any interaction from the user. The current process for making changes to an installed application vary by device and carrier, but generally require that the application be verified by an external QA team which can add a considerable amount of time and cost to the process, and once approved, the user must find and download the updated application themselves. Since Capsa delivers the content of the brand application at run-time via server architecture, any changes that need to be made to the brand application can be made directly on the server and are immediately available to the end user, completely bypassing any carrier or user interaction.

 

Web services allow the developer of the solution to integrate external systems to the Capsa platform. This allows integration for the management of account access, information or services.

 

Within most applications, some form of real time information is needed, either as part of the content interface, or as part of the feedback to the system. These external data feeds are managed through a series of Web services that can be developed as part of the mobile client or as part of a Web solution

 

The Capsa platform supports over 30 languages in over 120 countries, allowing offerings to be scaled and released on a global basis. A simple example would be the release of a service in the US where both English and Spanish are needed. In this case, the Web and Mobile clients could dynamically support both languages for the service.

 

Cloud Architectures are designs of software applications that use Internet-accessible on-demand services. Applications built on Cloud Architectures are built so that the underlying computing infrastructure is used only when it is needed, draw the necessary resources on-demand, perform a specific job, then relinquish the unneeded resources and often dispose them after the job is done. While in operation the application scales up or down elastically based on resource needs.

Cloud Architectures address key difficulties surrounding large-scale data processing:

 

· In traditional data processing it is difficult to get as many machines as an application needs.
· It is difficult to get the machines when one needs them.
· It is difficult to distribute and co-ordinate a large-scale job on different machines, run processes on them, and provision another machine to recover if one machine fails.
· It is difficult to auto-scale up and down based on dynamic workloads.
· It is difficult to get rid of all those machines when the job is done.

 

Cloud Architectures solve these difficulties as well as providing some clear business benefits such as:

 

· Almost zero upfront infrastructure investment
· The ability to scale in real-time
· More efficient resource utilization
· Usage-based costing
· Potential for the shrinking of required processing time

 

 

Because of its underlying architecture, the Capsa Platform is built to work with any carrier across the globe. We currently have customers using our application on all of the major US carriers and many worldwide.
