NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Calpian Inc. as Calpian Company, we, us and our. Calpian was incorporated in 2006. The Companys common stock (Common Stock) trades on the OTC ® under the symbol CLPI.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we are in the business of acquiring recurring monthly residual income streams derived from credit card processing fees paid by retail merchants in the United States (residual portfolios). Small and medium-sized retail merchants typically buy their credit card processing and acquiring services from Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs). ISOs are sales agents authorized by contract with one or more credit card processors to sell processing and acquiring services on their behalf. ISOs shepherd the merchants application for processing and acquiring services through the labyrinth of approvals, credit checks, guarantees, etc. that are required before the merchant can be approved to accept consumer credit cards for payment. We act not as a credit card processor, but simply as a purchaser of revenue streams resulting from the relationships between processors and ISOs and other ISOs. In addition, we may also seek to acquire servicing rights with respect to residual portfolios acquired from ISOs and invest in payments-industry related opportunities.
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE
The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes of Calpian have been prepared pursuant to Article 8-03 of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments and information (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and retrospective adjustments for an increased equity investment ownership percentage) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the Companys audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The functional currency of our equity investment is the Indian rupee (denoted as INR or Rs.). Its assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date, and resulting translation gains or losses are accumulated in other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders equity. Revenue and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and is dependent upon the Companys ability to establish itself as a profitable business. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
The Company has generated positive monthly cash since September 2011. Using that cash flow, along with funds available under the acquisition credit facility, the Company expects to acquire additional residual portfolios we anticipate will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future.
In August 2012, the maturity dates of all outstanding subordinated debt were modified to mature on December 31, 2014. As such, we believe the primary factor giving rise to a going concern opinion issued by our independent accountants included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, has been eliminated. There can be no assurance other factors will not arise resulting in a similar opinion in the future.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were no new accounting pronouncements issued that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers cash deposits and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions that may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
Residual Portfolios Acquired
Residual portfolios acquired represent our investment in recurring monthly residual income streams derived from credit card processing fees paid by retail merchants in the United States. Such residual portfolios are acquired for long-term investment and are expected to be held-to-maturity defined as a point where cash flows generated by the portfolio are nominal. Although history within the industry indicates the cash flows from such residual income streams are reasonably predictable, at the point of acquisition, the Companys right to receive cash flows is predicated upon future purchases by consumers at merchants included in the portfolio we acquired.
The Company amortizes its investment in residual portfolios based upon the future expected cash flows derived on each individual portfolio acquired as each portfolio is underwritten separately and may reflect unique cash flow patterns. The future expected cash flow is re-evaluated periodically by the Company and the future amortization is adjusted prospectively in accordance with ASC 350, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. The expected amortization period of residual portfolios is between 10 and 12 years, and no residual value is likely.
Equity Investment
Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method. To the extent the amount invested exceeds the Companys proportionate share of the investees net assets, the excess is allocated to its net assets based on their fair values and goodwill using the acquisition method of accounting. The carrying value of our investment in the net assets, but not any related goodwill, is tested periodically for other than temporary impairment. Prior to obtaining significant influence, such investments are accounted for using the cost method. Upon obtaining significant influence, our prior period financial statements are retrospectively adjusted as if equity method accounting had been in effect based on the ownership percentages during those periods.
Intangible Assets Acquired
The intangible assets acquired consist of the Calpian name and related trademark and domain name acquired from ART Holdings, Inc. (ART). The assets have indefinite lives, are carried at cost, and are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Company does not engage in hedging activities and does not have any derivative instruments in place. The Company has no non-financial assets measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We believe the current assets and current liabilities approximate their estimated fair values at the balance sheet dates, due to their short maturities. We believe the carrying value of our non-current liabilities approximate their estimated fair value at the balance sheet dates for debt with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings.
7
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its residual portfolios based upon actual cash receipts from residual portfolios acquired.
Earnings per Share
In calculating earnings per share (EPS) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, no recognition was given to warrants and options exercisable for 2,687,393 shares, respectively, of our Common Stock. In calculating EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, no recognition was given to 23,836 potentially dilutive convertible preferred shares (outstanding only until May 27, 2011, when they automatically converted into 2,383,600 shares of Common Stock), and no recognition was given to warrants exercisable for 2,146,968 shares of our Common Stock. Due to the net loss applicable to common shareholders in each period, such securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable and deferred taxes primarily related to net operating losses available to offset future federal income taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future income tax effects of differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes using enacted tax laws and rates.
The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if available evidence indicates it is more likely than not the position will be sustained on audit. The second step requires the Company to estimate the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company reevaluates its uncertain tax positions on a periodic basis based on factors such as changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity.
Use of Estimates
The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Warrants and Options
The Companys warrants are settled in physical delivery of unregistered shares. As such, the warrants are recorded upon issuance as permanent equity at fair value based upon a valuation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because our warrants and stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates, in our opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our warrants and stock options.
Transaction World Magazine
Due to its strategic value in marketing Calpian to the ISO community, we intend to maintain an administrative support, marketing, and advertising relationship with Transaction World Magazine and, since March 2011, we have funded all of its operations. Transaction World Magazine, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART. Harold Montgomery and Craig Jessen, both directors, executive officers, and controlling shareholders of Calpian, are founders, controlling shareholders, directors, and executive officers of ART; consequently, Transaction World Magazine is a non-owned but wholly-controlled entity and our financial statements include all of its expenses, net of advertising revenue, approximating $28,000 per quarter.
8
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company no longer considers Transaction World Magazine to be a separate profit center. As such, its distribution costs, net of advertising revenues, are included within the statements of comprehensive income as general and administrative expenses. Net expenses totaling $22,051 and $78,095 in the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2011, have been reclassified accordingly to conform to the current presentation.
(3) RESIDUAL PORTFOLIOS ACQUIRED
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired residual portfolios in a series of transactions. In exchange for the right to receive cash in the form of residuals, the Company paid an aggregate of $492,000 in cash and issued an aggregate of 27,230 shares of Common Stock valued at $70,997. Each of the transactions include customary terms including representations and warranties, covenants, confidentiality terms, indemnification provisions, and performance metrics ranging from 24 to 42 months. If the terms are not satisfied or the performance metrics are not achieved, the Company has the right to re-acquire all or a portion of the shares.
(4) EQUITY INVESTMENT
In 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire equity interests in Digital Payments Processing Limited (DPPL), a newly-organized company under the laws of India and headquartered in Mumbai, India. DPPL has entered into a services agreement with My Mobile Payments Limited (MMPL), a company organized under the laws of India and headquartered in Mumbai, India, which owns a payment processing service known as Money on Mobile (MoM) that allows individuals to use their cellular phones to make routine payments and to move money using simple text messaging (SMS technology). DPPL shareholders other than Calpian own a majority of MMPLs equity shares.
Calpian has structured its investment in DPPL as an initial and second funding totaling $2.5 million, then quarterly tranches of approximately $1.2 million each occurring over the following 6 quarters and resulting in a total expected investment of $9.7 million, and a total of 6,123,077 shares of its Common Stock issued ratably over the 6 quarters. A total of 4,863,077 of the shares are subject to being reclaimed by Calpian if certain financial performance metrics are not achieved. To date, Calpian has raised approximately $3.2 million through issuing a combination of Common Stock and subordinated debt to meet its funding requirements, and expects to raise the remaining funds through additional private placements of its Common Stock. At the end of the investment series, Calpian expects to own approximately 74% of DPPL with the remainder held by its management team.
On March 28, 2012, the Company invested $1.3 million and has agreed in principle to issue, contingent upon DPPLs lead founder delivering certain assurances from existing shareholders, 1,845,385 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for an approximate 15% equity interest in DPPL. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has invested $3.2 million and issued 2,430,770 shares of its Common Stock valued at $3.6 million for a 37.3% equity interest in DPPL, which resulted in the Companys acquisition of a significant subsidiary, as that term is defined in Rule 102(w) of Regulation S-X and applied pursuant to Rule 11.01(b) of Regulation S-X. As a result, the Company has changed its method of accounting for its investment in DPPL from the cost method to the equity method of accounting and will recognize its proportionate share of DPPLs operating results.
The Companys current investment in DPPL is summarized as follows:
Proportionate share of shareholders equity |
$ | 990,732 | ||
Excess of investment over proportionate share of shareholders equity |
5,598,163 | |||

The foregoing is a preliminary allocation based on the carrying value of DPPLs net assets in its financial statements pending the obtaining of detail information about DPPLs assets and liabilities and establishing their fair values.

Calpians financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2012 have been retrospectively adjusted by a comprehensive income loss of $168,460 to account for the investment in DPPL as if the equity method of accounting had been applied using the 19.9% ownership as of that date and the 15.8% weighted average ownership during that quarter. The adjustment decreased the carrying amount of our equity investment and increased our accumulated deficit and net loss with no effect on cash flows. No adjustment has been made to the three months ended March 31, 2012, as the effect would not be material.
(5) NOTE PAYABLE
On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into a promissory note with a non-affiliated third party in the amount of $33,383 to finance premiums for its directors and officers insurance. The note bears an interest rate of 7.0% per annum, and provides for payments of $3,818 per month through March 2013.
(6) DEBT
Subordinated Debt
The Company has issued $3,150,000 in restricted and $150,000 in unrestricted subordinated notes payable pursuant to a $3 Million Subordinated Debt Offering and a $2 Million Subordinated Debt Offering , each exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D, as described in detail in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 6, 2011 and incorporated herein by reference. The unrestricted note was purchased by a company whose shareholders include Calpians Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and members of his family.
The subordinated notes are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Companys assets, but are subordinated to any thereafter-created senior debt. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% annually, paid monthly in arrears, and all principal is due December 31, 2014. At issuance, holders of the notes received warrants to acquire up to 1,165,000 shares of our Common Stock. An additional 252,925 warrants were issued in August 2012 in consideration for extending the original November 2012 to June 2014 principal due dates to December 31, 2014. The aggregate $1,310,073 value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the subordinated debt modification date. The modification-date fair value discount is being amortized over the remaining term of the debt.
Acquisition Credit Facility
On April 28, 2011, the Company secured an $8.0 million senior secured credit facility from an unrelated lender to acquire residual portfolios and borrowed $2.7 million on August 26, 2011. No additional draws may be made after August 2012. The promissory notes carry an interest rate of 16%. Interest only is paid monthly in arrears and all principal, classified as current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet at September 30, 2012, is due on April 28, 2013. The credit facility is secured by a first lien on all current and after acquired assets of the Company. The Company paid to the lender origination and commitment fees totaling $280,000, paid the lender and third parties administrative fees and expenses totaling $43,639, and issued the lender warrants to acquire up to 804,467 shares of its Common Stock at $1.00 per share. The warrants, valued at $2,011,168 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, were recorded as deferred financing costs on the balance sheet, and are being amortized over the 24-month life of the underlying credit facility.
10
In November 2012, we entered into the $5.0 million term loan facility described in Note (11) Subsequent Events and repaid amounts outstanding under the foregoing $8.0 million facility.
(7) CAPITAL STOCK, WARRANTS, AND OPTIONS
We have not agreed to register any of our Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or warrants for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, although warrants to acquire up to 804,467 shares of the Companys Common Stock have customary piggy back registration rights in the event that we register shares of our Common Stock in the future.
Preferred Stock
At the balance sheet dates, the Company had 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, authorized, but no shares outstanding.
Common Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we issued 27,230 shares of our Common Stock valued at $70,997 in exchange for the right to receive cash from a residual portfolio and we sold in private placements 1,720,006 shares for $2,580,000 (16,667 of the shares valued at $25,000 were sold to the Companys Chief Financial Officer). In April 2012 and as consideration for international acquisition advisory services, we issued 35,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $52,500. Such value is being expensed ratably over the 12-month service period. In June 2012, as consideration for financial advisory services, we issued 35,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $52,500. Such value was recorded as a deferred financing fee to be expensed upon the earlier of closing a qualified financing transaction or termination of the advisory agreement.
Warrants
The Company has issued warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 2,287,393 shares of Common Stock in connection with the issuances of subordinated notes payable, extension of the debts principal payment due dates, obtaining an acquisition credit facility, and consulting and other financing. The exercise prices of the warrants range from $1.00 to $2.00 (weighted average of $1.18) and expire 5 and 7 years from the dates of grant.
Options
On April 13, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan). The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. The Plan was subsequently approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 7, 2011. The value of options vested is recognized at each vesting period using Black-Scholes option pricing model and included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of comprehensive income.
Our Chief Financial Officer has been granted nonqualified stock options to purchase our Common Stock pursuant to the Plan (200,000 shares at $2.50 per share in April 2011 and 200,000 shares in August 2012 at $1.50 per share). The options under both grants expire ten years after the grant date or, in the case of the August 2012 grant, the earlier of ten years or the termination of services. The April 2011 options originally vested in 48 equal monthly installments; however, the unvested balance fully vested in August 2012 pursuant to a modification agreement. The August 2012 options fully vested on the grant date and $2,680 of expense was recognized.
(8) INCOME TAXES
The Company is a taxable corporation but, due to net losses, had no federal tax provision or liability in 2012 or 2011. State income tax provisions based on revenues net of compensation costs were reversed in 2012 when it was determined the taxable threshold for previous periods had not been attained.
At the most recent balance sheet date, the Company had an estimated $5,668,000 in net operating tax loss carry-forwards (NOLs) to offset future federal taxable income. Such NOLs expire beginning in 2030. Due to the Companys continuing losses and uncertainty surrounding the Companys ultimate ability to use the NOLs to offset future taxable income, the Company has provided a $2,353,000 valuation allowance reflecting 100% of all such NOLs and $426,000 of deferred tax items reversing in future years.

(10) LITIGATION
On June 27, 2012, Calpian Residual Partners V, LP (CRPVLP), Calpian Residual GP V, LLC (together CRPV), Craig A. Jessen (Jessen), and Calpian were notified of certain complaints by National Bankcard Systems, Inc.

Jessen, who is our President, a member of our Board of Directors, and is a substantial shareholder of Calpian, is an executive officer of CRPV, but CRPV is not otherwise an affiliate of Calpian. Each of the Residual Purchase Agreement and the related alleged improprieties of CRPV occurred prior to Calpians acquisition of the underlying residual portfolio on December 31, 2010. On September 18, 2012, NBS filed suit in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas against CRPVLP and Calpian (but not Jessen) alleging damages totaling approximately $729,000 including unpaid merchant servicing fees, compensation for residuals added after Calpian acquired the portfolio, and attorney fees. Calpian has retained legal counsel who has filed a response asserting affirmative defenses.

Business Overview
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we are in the business of acquiring recurring monthly residual income streams derived from credit card processing fees paid by retail merchants in the United States (residual portfolios). Small and medium-sized retail merchants typically buy their credit card processing and acquiring services from Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs). ISOs are sales agents authorized by contract with one or more credit card processors to sell processing and acquiring services on their behalf. ISOs shepherd the merchants application for processing and acquiring services through the labyrinth of approvals, credit checks, guarantees, etc. that are required before the merchant can be approved to accept consumer credit cards for payment. We act not as a credit card processor, but simply as a purchaser of revenue streams resulting from the relationships between processors and ISOs and other ISOs. In addition, we may also seek to acquire servicing rights with respect to residual portfolios acquired from ISOs and invest in payments-industry related opportunities.
13
Our purchases of residual portfolios are expected to range in size and complexity from one-time events involving a single portfolio to multiple events over an extended period covering the entire current and possibly future portfolios of an ISO. Our aim is to acquire merchant residual portfolios by acquiring them directly from the ISOs that originated the contracts with the merchants. In a residual portfolio purchase, we buy the rights to the residual revenue streams owned by the ISO for a negotiated amount. Prior to acquisition of the residual portfolio from the ISO, our Company and the ISO notify the processor that we plan to acquire the rights to the residual portfolio and that all future residual payments should be paid to us. Processors are required to approve all such acquisitions as a condition of closing.
The Company advertises in industry trade journals to inform the ISO industry of its acquisition capabilities, including Transaction World Magazine (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART but controlled by Calpian), and underwrites each potential deal using its own internal processes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash inflows from existing residual portfolios acquired in 2012 and prior total approximately $300,000 per month. At the most recent balance sheet date, ongoing monthly cash expenses totaled approximately $260,000 per month (excluding time-discretionary payments to officers, directors, and executives of previously deferred amounts) thus causing the Company to be cash flow positive on an operating basis.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
The Company continues to sell shares of its Common Stock and issue subordinated debt to fund its investments in Digital Payments Processing Limited (DPPL) in India and acquire residual portfolios. For the year-to-date period through September 30, 2012, Calpian has raised approximately $3.2 million to fund its investment in DPPL, pay related expenses, and acquire residual portfolios, and the Company expects to raise additional funds through additional private placements of its Common Stock and subordinated debt.
Acquisition of Additional Residual Portfolios
In November 2012, the Company entered into the $5.0 million term loan facility described in Note (11) Subsequent Events of the Notes To Financial Statements contained in Part I of this Report, incorporated herein by reference, and repaid the outstanding balance of $2.7 million on the $8.0 million facility. Additional amounts available under the new $5.0 million credit facility will be used to pay expenses of the new facility (approximately $300,000) and acquire additional residual portfolios.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Material Changes in Financial Condition
Cash Restricted to Acquisition of Residuals
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company used $397,000 of the proceeds from the issuance of subordinated notes to acquire additional residuals costing $492,000.
Equity Investment
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company raised approximately $2.6 million in equity and $750,000 in subordinated debt to fund $3.2 million of its $6.9 million equity investment in DPPL and pay related expenses of $136,690. In September 2012, we funded approximately $3.6 million of our equity investment by issuing approximately 2.4 million shares of our Common Stock. As a result of the additional funding, our equity interest increased to 37.5% of DPPLs net assets at the most recent balance sheet date and our accounting for the investment was changed from the cost to the equity method by recognizing comprehensive income losses ($168,460 retrospectively in the second quarter; $267,260 year-to-date).
14
Other Changes
There have been no other material changes in the Companys financial condition since December 31, 2011 other than amortization of assets reflected in the statement of cash flows, classification of senior notes payable due April 28, 2013, to current liabilities, and classification from current liabilities to long-term debt of subordinated notes payable as a result of maturity dates being extended to December 31, 2014.
Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2012, reflect cash collections on residual portfolios previously acquired by the Company. The decrease from the comparable period in 2011 reflects normal attrition within our residual that also resulted in lower portfolio amortization.
Operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were composed entirely of general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $564,784 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, were slightly more than the $496,744 incurred in same period in 2011 due to modest changes across a range of expense types offset by $26,600 less expense recorded for equity awards to management.
Amortization of discount on subordinated debt reflects multiple issuances of notes. Amounts were lower in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 2011 as the original November 2012 to June 2014 principal due dates were extended to December 31, 2014.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012, reflects the costs of funds for the $8.0 million acquisition credit facility of $108,000 and the subordinated notes of $99,000, and other. Interest expense for the comparable period in 2011 included $41,806 for subordinated notes.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, reflect cash collections on residual portfolios previously acquired by the Company. The increase in the comparable period in 2011 and the increases in portfolio amortization and servicing costs reflect additional portfolio acquisitions since that period. Other costs of revenues decreased significantly from the comparable period in 2011 as 2011 included $74,982 in a residual lead-generation program, later terminated, and $39,018 higher acquisition costs.
Operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were composed entirely of general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $1,846,160 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were larger than the $1,617,546 incurred in comparable period in 2011 due to $166,302 in expenses related to the equity investment in DPPL, $47,500 in consulting fees, and modest changes across a range of expense types offset by $42,730 less in legal fees and $49,556 less in equity awards to management.
Amortization of discount on subordinated debt reflects multiple issuances of notes. Amounts were higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 2011 due an additional $1,750,000 of subordinated notes which have been outstanding for various periods since August 2011, offset by the effect of the original November 2012 to June 2014 principal due dates being extended to December 31, 2014.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, reflects the costs of funds for the $8.0 million acquisition credit facility of $324,000 and the subordinated notes of $263,550, and other. Interest expense for the comparable period in 2011 included $165,833 for subordinated notes and $41,806 for the credit facility offset by a minor amount of net interest income.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no changes during the quarter in managements assessment of the market risk we face in our operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, as and when required. Disclosures stemming from the Companys investment in Digital Payments Processing Limited will, for the first time, be included in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As such, the Company is just now instituting disclosure controls and routines in India necessary to meet our ongoing reporting obligations in the future.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2012, that materially affected, either positively or negatively, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures provide the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with reasonable assurances that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, the Companys management does not expect that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures or the Companys internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within the Companys company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

Litigation
On June 27, 2012, Calpian Residual Partners V, LP (CRPVLP), Calpian Residual GP V, LLC (together CRPV), Craig A. Jessen (Jessen), and Calpian were notified of certain complaints by National Bankcard Systems, Inc. (NBS) alleging breach of the Residual Purchase Agreement dated November 4, 2008, between CRPV and NBS and certain other improprieties by CRPV. Jessen, who is our President, a member of our Board of Directors, and is a substantial shareholder of Calpian, is an executive officer of CRPV, but CRPV is not otherwise an affiliate of Calpian. Each of the Residual Purchase Agreement and the related alleged improprieties of CRPV occurred prior to Calpians acquisition of the underlying residual portfolio on December 31, 2010. On September 18, 2012, NBS filed suit in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas against CRPVLP and Calpian (but not Jessen) alleging damages totaling approximately $729,000 including unpaid merchant servicing fees, compensation for residuals added after Calpian acquired the portfolio, and attorney fees. Calpian has retained legal counsel who has filed a response asserting affirmative defenses.
In addition to the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, consideration should be given to the risk factors in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. There have been no significant changes in those risk factors.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the period covered by this report, the Company completed additional closings of its ongoing private placement of equity pursuant to which it sold 866,669 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $1,300,000. All such amount was invested in DPPL.

SECTION 10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES . If any Event of Default described in clause (e) of Section 9 shall occur, the Loans (if not theretofore terminated) shall automatically terminate and all outstanding Obligations shall automatically be and become immediately due and payable, without notice or demand. If any other Event of Default shall occur for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, and be continuing, Agent may, by notice to Borrower, declare all or any portion of the outstanding Obligations to be due and payable and/or the Loans (if not theretofore terminated) to be terminated, whereupon the full unpaid amount of such Obligations which shall be so declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without further notice, demand or presentment, and/or, as the case may be, the Loans shall terminate. In addition, upon any Event of Default Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity as well as any rights or remedies specified in any the Loan Documents, all of which shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for any deficiency, which Borrower shall pay to Agent immediately upon demand.
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or by law, all rights and remedies of a secured party after default under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees that in any such event Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement, legal process or notice of any kind (except as may be required by law or provided herein) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or brokers board or at any of Agents offices or elsewhere at such prices and on such terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable (irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral), for cash or on credit or for future delivery. Any such purchaser (including, without limitation, Agent) of Collateral sold pursuant to this Section 10 shall purchase the same absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Borrower and Borrower does hereby waive (to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay, and appraisal it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as may arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or the failure of Agent to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession or under its control. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, Agent need not give more than ten (10) days notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9612(b) of the UCC. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral shall be allocated among the Obligations in such manner as Agent may determine in its sole discretion.
Unless any of the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is or becomes of a type sold on a recognized market, Agent will give Borrower reasonable notice of the time and place of any public
22
sale thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made. Any sale of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, commercial finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Any other requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is, to the extent permitted by law, waived.
In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the collateral may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidder and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, Agent may solicit offers to buy the Collateral, or any part of it, for cash, from a limited number of investors deemed by Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be qualified parties who might be interested in purchasing the collateral, and if Agent solicits such offers from not less than five (5) such investors, then the acceptance by Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.
With respect to the rights and remedies of Agent, the parties have expressly agreed that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be waived by Agent except in writing and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of the same Default or Event of Default on a future occasion; (ii) no single or partial exercise by Agent of any of its rights, powers or privileges under the Loan Documents, or any delay in the exercise thereof, shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof; and (iii) no forbearance on the part of Agent in enforcing any of its rights under Loan Documents, nor any renewal, extension or rearrangement of any payment or covenant to be made or performed by Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or of any such right.

All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referees power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
(i) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
(j) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDEBTEDNESS OR THE OTHER GRANITE HILL BANK DOCUMENTS.
