ITEM
1. BUSINESS
Company
Overview
Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. is a
multi-channel marketing firm that historically has specialized in the
acquisition and retention of customers through direct and digital, and Internet
marketing programs. Options Media does business through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: 1Touch Marketing, LLC, or 1 Touch, and Options
Acquisition Sub, Inc., or Acquisition Sub.
Recently Options Media has begun
focusing its efforts on cell phones and text messaging as users in the United
States have began using their phones to access the Internet and for other
purposes.
An important part of Options Media’s
cell and mobile phone strategy revolves around its proposed acquisition of an
exclusive sublicense of cell phone software that has a significant potential to
dramatically change the nature of Option Media’s business and improve its
financial condition.
The
PhoneGuard Transaction
On March 25, 2010, Options Media
entered into a letter of intent with Cellular Spyware, Inc. d/b/a PhoneGuard,
Inc., or PhoneGuard, to acquire an exclusive sublicense for the U.S. and Canada
to market PhoneGuard’s mobile anti-virus and safety products.
PhoneGuard is the exclusive licensee
for the software distributed by NetQin Mobile, Inc., a Chinese based company
which is a global leader in mobile security services according to Frost &
Sullivan.
Outside of the U.S., cell phone users
rely heavily on their cell phone for Internet access.
As the Smartphone becomes more
prevalent in the U.S., more users use the phones browser to access the Internet
rather than solely using computers. Smartphones include Apple’s
iPhone, Blackberry and phones using the Android operating
system. This increases the likelihood that hackers and others will
generate viruses aimed at the mobile phone market.
PhoneGuard launched the NetQin
anti-virus software in North America in November 2009 and has been primarily
engaged with leading wireless carriers and resellers with a view to having them
provide the anti-virus software, either as part of a monthly service package or
as an optional feature.
At the same time that access to the
Internet via Smartphone is accelerating, text messaging on all cell phones has
exploded. Youths primarily text rather than use email. At
the same time, states struggle with the costs stemming from motor vehicle
accidents caused by persons texting while driving.
1
This
explosion in text messaging has seen the following:
●
|
The
Virginia Tech Transportation Institution, in a July 2009 report, estimates
that the risk of a crash or near crash is 23.2 times non-distracted
driving. The same study estimates that the rate is 2.8 times
for dialing a cell phone for cars and 5.9 times for
trucks.
|
●
|
The
National Safety Council estimates that 1.6 million crashes annually
involve cell phone use with 200,000 due to text
messaging.
|
●
|
A
national insurance study estimates 20% of drivers text; in the 18-24 year
old age group, the number is 66%.
|
●
|
At
least 21 states have banned texting while
driving.
|
●
|
In
October 2009, President Obama issued an executive order banning texting
while driving for federal
employees.
|
●
|
During
the 2010 NCAA Men’s College Basketball tournament, AT&T wireless acted
as the official wireless carrier. It broadcast public service
commercials against texting and
driving.
|
Focusing
on this serious problem, PhoneGuard is introducing in mid-April a software
solution which will stop the ability to text when a car’s speed exceeds 10 miles
per hour. Options Media has reached a verbal agreement to acquire the
rights to this key technology.
The
letter of intent with PhoneGuard is subject to execution of a definitive
agreement and an Employment Agreement with its principal shareholder and
customary closing conditions.
The Options Media and 1 Touch database
has access to over 150-million opted-in consumer, 174-million postal database
and 21-million business records for prospect marketing via email, sms, and
postal channels with full demographic and lifestyle
selects.
The Options Media and
1 Touch web advertising network enables marketers to place banner advertising on
a network of targeted websites both nationally and internationally.
The Options Media and 1 Touch lead
generation division uses its own proprietary portal as well as a publisher
network to engage customers for marketing offers and supply these leads directly
to advertisers.

SMS Mobile Marketing
Services
Options
Media offers three types of SMS Mobile Marketing:
|
●
|
SMS
Mobile Marketing PUSH
|
|
●
|
SMS
Mobile Marketing PULL
|
|
●
|
SMS
Bluetooth Proximity Marketing
|
SMS Mobile Marketing PUSH- This is a
message sent to a list similar to that of opt-in email. These
recipients have agreed to receive advertising on their cell phones for messages
of interest. The message is broadcast, or pushed out, to cell phone
numbers on our SMS database.
SMS Mobile Marketing PULL- This type of
messaging is initiated by the user in response to an advertising prompt to text
in a specific keyword a short code phone number. Most people will
recognize this type of messaging to be similar to that of the TV show “American
Idol” or similar shows where viewers text in to vote. Once a
respondent has texted in, they receive an auto-responder message with discount,
promotional or other information on their cell phones.
4
SMS
Bluetooth Proximity Marketing –This is a message sent directly to any Bluetooth
enabled device that comes within 300-feet of a special transmitter. A
text message, download, link to a website or multi-media file can be sent via
the Bluetooth message. This type of communication is ideal for
virtually any business because offers are sent to potential customers who are
within walking distance of their business location.
Web Advertising and Lead
Generation
Our Web
Advertising offers custom banner advertising programs on our network of national
and international sites. Our clients can select a wide range of
consumer segments to specifically target their message to interested
prospects. To generate these leads Options Media has created its own
portal in addition to working with web publishers.
Lead
generation programs are custom-created for each advertiser to accomplish their
specific prospecting goals. Leads are screened and only those
matching the set prospect criteria are sent to the advertiser.
Lead
generation programs focus on two industry sectors:
●
|
Consumer
products & services
|
●
|
Educational
products & services
|
According
to a study done by the Barclays Capital U.S. Media and Internet team, they
estimate that, “for 2010 we believe online advertising growth will reaccelerate
to 12%, reaching $28.1 billion, [with] 12% growth in Display, and 6% in
Lead Generation and Email.”
Database
Options Media acquires new data through
direct acquisition and lead generation. In 2008, Options Media
acquired 1 Touch and combined databases which included all of the data acquired
by each company since their respective inceptions. Regularly, Options
Media acquires data from many sources though direct purchase and through
co-registration.
The primary goal of direct acquisition
is to obtain targeted data rather than general lists in order to strengthen and
augment targeting capabilities. As such, data acquisition partners
generally specialize in a given vertical or industry and these partners
collected consumer data through their own processes.
Co-registration is the process where
online parties visiting or registering to use a third party publisher’s website
are also invited to register for one of our clients’ offers. Offers
are placed on the path and external publishers send traffic to the
offers. As consumers convert on the offers, conversion information
and postal data is stored in the master database.
In order to ensure the accuracy,
integrity and ongoing relevance of the database, the data is augmented on a
continual basis. Data augmentation is facilitated though many
mechanisms but the primary methodology is email response feedback loops which
help determine what users are marketing consumer’s bulk email as
spam.
5
Hardware
and Software
With the email delivery platform, our
clients can create, send and track the email campaigns for their
subscribers. We provide online tracking and database management
software, email servers’ hardware, bandwidth, domains and IP addresses to our
clients so they can communicate with their clients and prospects through
emails. Each client has a username and password to be able to upload
and manage subscribers, review and upload campaign creative’s, schedule a series
of trigger based emails and pull detailed tracking reports and
analytics. We use hardware such as online servers and bandwidth owned
by various third-parties in both Florida and California.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009, we employed a
total of 33 employees all of which are full time employees. As of March 26,
2010, the Company employed a total of 35 employees all of which are full time
employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we believe
that our relations with our employees are good.
Research
and Development
We have
had no research and development expenses to date.
Government
Regulation
CAN-SPAM ACT
The Controlling the Assault of
Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM Act,
establishes requirements for commercial email and specifies penalties for
commercial email that violates the Act. In addition, the CAN-SPAM Act
gives consumers the right to require emailers to stop sending them commercial
email.
The CAN-SPAM Act covers email sent for
the primary purpose of advertising or promoting a commercial product, service,
or Internet website. The Federal Trade Commission, a federal consumer
protection agency, is primarily responsible for enforcing the CAN-SPAM Act, and
the Department of Justice, other federal agencies, State Attorneys General, and
Internet service providers also have authority to enforce certain of its
provisions.
The
CAN-SPAM Act’s main provisions include:
|
●
|
Prohibiting
false or misleading email header
information;
|
|
●
|
Prohibiting
the use of deceptive subject lines;
|
|
●
|
Ensuring
that recipients may, for at least 30 days after an email is sent, opt out
of receiving future commercial email messages from the
sender;
|
|
●
|
Requiring
that commercial email be identified as a solicitation or advertisement
unless the recipient affirmatively permitted the message;
and
|
|
●
|
Requiring
that the sender include a valid postal address in the email
message.
|
The CAN-SPAM Act also prohibits
unlawful acquisition of email addresses, such as through directory harvesting
and transmission of commercial emails by unauthorized means, such as through
relaying messages with the intent to deceive recipients as to the origin of such
messages.
6
Violations of the CAN-SPAM Act’s
provisions can result in criminal and civil penalties, including statutory
penalties that can be based in part upon the number of emails sent, with
enhanced penalties for commercial emailers who harvest email addresses, use
dictionary attack patterns to generate email addresses, and/or relay emails
through a network without permission.
The CAN-SPAM Act acknowledges that the
Internet offers unique opportunities for the development and growth of
frictionless commerce, and the CAN-SPAM Act was passed, in part, to enhance the
likelihood that wanted commercial email messages would be received.
The CAN-SPAM Act preempts, or blocks,
most state restrictions specific to email, except for rules against falsity or
deception in commercial email, fraud and computer crime. The scope of
these exceptions, however, is not settled, and some states have adopted email
regulations that, if upheld, could impose liabilities and compliance burdens in
addition to those imposed by the CAN-SPAM Act.
Moreover, some foreign countries,
including the countries of the European Union, have regulated the distribution
of commercial email and the online collection and disclosure of personal
information. Foreign governments may attempt to apply their laws
extraterritorially or through treaties or other arrangements with U.S.
governmental entities.
Our clients may be subject to the
requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act, and/or other applicable state or foreign laws
and regulations affecting email marketing. If our clients’ email
campaigns are alleged to violate applicable email laws or regulations and we are
deemed to be responsible for such violations, or if we were deemed to be
directly subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be exposed
to liability.
Our standard terms and conditions
require our clients to comply with laws and regulations applicable to their
email marketing campaigns and to implement any required regulatory
safeguards.
SMASH
Act of 2008
The Stop M-Spam Abuse as a Sales
Industry Habit Act of 2008 (H.R. 5769) would require the Federal Trade
Commission to “issue regulations to revise the Telemarketing Sales Rule to
explicitly prohibit as an abusive telemarketing act or practice, the sending of
any electronic commercial message containing an unsolicited advertisement to a
telephone number that is assigned to a commercial mobile service and listed on
the FTC’s do not call registry.” As of the date of this report, the
bill has not been passed into law and has been referred to the Subcommittee on
Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection.
Corporate
History and Acquisitions
We were incorporated in the State of
Nevada on June 27, 2007 under the name Heavy Metal, Inc. On June 19,
2008, we changed our name to Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. On
June 23, 2008, we acquired Acquisition Sub., which contained the business of
Options Newsletter, Inc., or Options Newsletter. All of the
pre-merger assets and liabilities of Options Media were transferred to the prior
president of Options Media, in exchange for the cancellation of his ownership in
Options Media. As consideration for Acquisition Sub., we issued
12,500,000 shares of our common stock to Customer Acquisition Network Holdings,
Inc., now known as interCLICK, Inc., the former parent of Acquisition
Sub.
On September 19, 2008, we acquired 1
Touch for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and $1,500,000. Additionally,
the former owners of 1 Touch acquired the right to receive a maximum earn-out
payment of 6,000,000 shares of Options Media common stock based on 1 Touch
achieving specific performance milestones. The specific milestones
were not reached in 2008 and 2009. Consequently, the former owners were not
issued any of these shares.
7
Competition
We face intense competition in the
Internet advertising market from other online advertising and direct marketing
networks in competing for client advertising budgets. We expect that
this competition will continue to intensify in the future as a result of
industry consolidation, the maturation of the industry and low barriers to
entry. We compete with a diverse and large pool of advertising,
media, and Internet companies.
Our ability to compete depends upon
several factors, including the following:
● The timing
and market acceptance of our new solutions and enhancements to existing
solutions developed by us;
● Our customer
service and support efforts;
● Our sales and
marketing efforts;
● The ease of
us, performance, price and reliability of solutions provided by us;
and
● Our ability
to remain price competitive.
Customers
Our
customers are primarily direct marketers, advertising agencies and brand
marketers. Our customers range from Fortune 500 companies, the
federal government, and small to mid size companies.
Sales
and Marketing
We acquire our clients principally
though the efforts of our dedicated in-house sales team and through the
sponsorship and attendance of various trade shows and conferences. In
addition, our general brand awareness, word of mouth client referrals, press and
general brand awareness initiative drive prospects to us.
Intellectual
Property
SMS
Platform
The
proprietary SMS platform communicates with cell phone users by sending targeted
messages using the SMS protocol. The platform also receives and processes
solicited and unsolicited responses from cell phone users. The SMS platform
consists of custom software to set up, track and fulfill SMS campaigns. It
includes a database component for individual users as well as an opt in mobile
opt-in subscriber file.
The SMS
platform allows Options Media clients to interact with their customers through
the use of keywords advertised on television, radio, print, and the web as well
as voting interaction. This offers tremendous creative opportunities for our
clients such as increased brand awareness, mobile coupons, new product
announcements, loyalty programs and event announcements.
Bluetooth Proximity System
The
Bluetooth Proximity System is a custom hardware and custom software solution
that uses the Bluetooth protocol to communicate with cell phone users utilizing
the Bluetooth technology existing in the recipients cell phone. Bluetooth
proximity deployment boxes (which are part of the system) ask cell phone users
to opt-in when a compatible cell phone is detected in the local area. Upon
opt-in confirmation, it then delivers the customer’s marketing message(s) to the
cell phone. Data from multiple deployment boxes can be combined to provide the
customer with a complete analysis of their marketing effort (the
system).
Bluetooth
marketing enables our clients to deliver highly targeted messages to consumers
based on their proximity to the Bluetooth broadcasting box. This is a tremendous
advertising method because the mobile user does not incur any usage charges and
it has a very high degree of relevance, the consumer can immediately engage the
advertiser and is delivered to the consumer in a personal message.

Critical
Accounting Estimates
This
discussion and analysis of our financial condition presented in this section is
based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to
make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related
disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments
involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential
impact on our financial statements and, therefore, consider these to be our
critical accounting policies. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses, allowance
for accounts receivable, purchase price fair value allocation for business
combinations, estimates of depreciable lives and valuation of property and
equpiment, valuations of discounts on debt, valuation of beneficial
conversion features in convertible debt, valuation and amortization periods of
intangible assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of stock based compensation
and the deferred tax valuation allowance. We based our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
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.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
adopted ASC 718-20-10, Share
Based Payment (formerly SFAS No. 123R) establishes the financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation
plans. As required by ASC 718-20-10, we recognize the cost resulting
from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under our
stock option plans in the financial statements. Stock based
compensation is measured at fair value at the time of the grant.
Valuation
of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Pursuant
to the ASC 350-10-05 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (formerly SFAS 142 and
144) and the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, we assess the
impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill annually
or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these
assets may not be recoverable. Factors we consider include and are not limited
to the following:
|
●
|
Significant
changes in performance relative to expected operating
results
|
|
●
|
Significant
changes in the use of the assets or the strategy of our overall
business
|
|
●
|
Significant
industry or economic trends
|
As
determined in accordance with the ASC, if the carrying amount of goodwill of a
reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the impairment loss is measured as the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the
assets. In accordance with the ASC, in determining if impairment
exists, we estimate the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and
ultimate disposition of these assets. The impairment loss is measured
as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair market
value of the assets.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, no significant
company obligations remain, and collection of the related receivable is
reasonably assured.
12
We, in
accordance with ASC 605-45-05, (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 99-19
“Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent,”) report revenues
for transactions in which we are the primary obligor on a gross basis and
revenues in which we act as an agent on and earn a fixed percentage of the
sale on a net basis, net of related costs. Credits or refunds are
recognized when they are determinable and estimable.
The
following policies reflect specific criteria for our various revenue
streams:
Revenues
for sending direct emails of customer advertisements to our owned database of
email addresses are recognized at the time the customer’s advertisement is
emailed to recipients by us.
Revenues
from ESP activities which allow the customer to send the emails themselves, to
our database of email addresses include a monthly fee charged for the customer’s
right to send a fixed number of emails per month. ESP revenues are
generally collected upfront from customers for service periods of one to six
months. Thus, ESP revenues are deferred and recognized over the
respective service period. Overage charges apply if the customer
sends more emails in one month than is allowed per the
contract. Accordingly, overage charges are accrued in the month of
occurrence.
Revenue
from list management services, which principally includes email transmission
services of third party promotional and e-commerce offers to a licensed email
list, is recognized when Internet users visit and complete actions at an
advertiser’s website. Revenue consists of the gross value in accordance with
EITF 99-19 of billings to clients. We report these revenues gross
because we are responsible for fulfillment of the service, have substantial
latitude in setting price and assume the credit risk for the entire amount of
the sale, and are responsible for the payment of all obligations incurred with
advertiser email list owners. Cost of revenue from list management
services are cost incurred to the email list owners with whom we have licensed
such email list.
Revenue
from SMS is broken down into the three services offered. SMS Push is
recognized at the time the message is sent to the cell phone user, SMS Pull is
recognized as revenue when the cell phone user responds to the advertisement,
and SMS Bluetooth Proximity Marketing is recognized once a month as the client
leases the box and the delivery platform on a monthly basis.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
See Note
1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for
discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Results
of Operations
We commenced operations on June 23,
2008. Prior to June 23, 2008, we were in the development stage and
did not have any material assets or activities. In addition, we
acquired 1 Touch on September 19, 2008. As such, the results of
operations for 1 Touch are only included from that date onward.
Revenue:
Our revenue for the year ended December
31, 2009 increased to $7,430,760 from $3,370,790 for the period from June 23,
2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, an increase of 120%. The
increase is primarily attributable to including a full year of operations in
2009. Our revenue by product is shown in the table
below.

In the
future, we expect our revenue to grow due to the continued growth in online
advertising and our continued efforts to acquire top products and
technology. However, we expect larger growth in the SMS product line
relative to our other products and services. We anticipate that the
lead products and list management will be a lesser percentage of total revenue
in the future. If we close the PhoneGuard transaction, we expect that
the mobile products we acquire will account for the majority of our
revenue.
Cost
of Revenue
The cost of revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2009 increased to $1,948,553 from $1,308,753 for the period from
June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately
50%. The cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009
represents 26% of the revenue compared to 39% of revenue for the period from
June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008. The increase is
primarily attributable to including a full year of operations in
2009. The percentage reduction of 13% is attributable to the change
of product mix with email becoming a larger percentage with a higher profit
margin and list management a lesser percentage of the total
revenue. The cost of revenue include fees due to list owners for the
use of their data in list management advertising campaigns, outsourced leads,
and outsourced data and data services. The cost of revenue will
increase as our revenue grows.
Operating
Expenses:
Server hosting and technology services
consist of outsourced hosting, outsourced server costs, and other technology
costs required to operate our ESP and list management product
lines. This expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to
$977,517 from $573,432 for the period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December
31, 2008, an increase of 70%. The increase is primarily attributable
to including a full year of operations in 2009. Servers hosting and
Technology expenses represented 47% of the ESP and List management revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 41% of the ESP and List management
revenue for the period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31,
2008. In the future, we anticipate that these costs as a percentage
of combined list management and ESP revenue may show slight improvements over
2009 levels as our revenue for List management decreases because the gross
margins on list management is substantially lower than ESP and SMS mobile
services.
14
Compensation
and related costs include salaries and payroll taxes. In addition, this expense
includes non-cash stock based compensation for director fees, expenses for
non-employee services employee restricted stock grants for services and the fair
value of options grants for employee services. This compensation
expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $4,576,577 from
$2,611,622 for the period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008,
an increase of 75%. The increase is primarily attributable to
including a full year of operations in 2009. The increase is also
attributed to the full year of amortization of the employees’ stock based
compensation and issuance of 19,900,000 employee stock options issued in
December 2009. The non-cash stock based compensation for the year
ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $817,356 and $1,114,840,
respectively. The stock compensation represents expenses for
directors’ fees of $515,258 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $150,000
for the year ended December 31, 2008. The stock compensation
represents expenses for employees restricted stock grants for services
approximately $69,168 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $32, 650 for the
year ended December 31, 2008 and the fair value of the Options Grants of
$232,930 for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended 2010 the
Company will have an employee stock based compensation of approximately
$503,501. The stock based compensation will be fully amortized by December
2012.
Commission expense represents the
amounts we incurred for sales commissions on the sales we made. The
commission expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $899, 556
from $397,756 for the period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008
and increase of 125%. The increase is primarily attributable to including a full
year of operations in 2009. This increase is a direct result of the
increase in revenue.
Advertising
expense primarily consists of expenses related to attending trade shows which
include travel expenses and trade show fees. The Advertising expense
for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $108,311 from $84,419 for the
period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008 an increase of
28%. The increase is primarily attributable to including a full year
of operations in 2009.
Rent
expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $209,940 from $75,975
for the period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, an increase
of 170%. At December 31, 2008, we consolidated our operations into
one facility in Boca Raton at a monthly rental cost of approximately $17,000;
the rent increased to approximately $18,000 a month beginning in January for
2010. The increase is primarily attributable to including a full year
of operations in 2009.
Bad debt expense is recorded when our
management reviews the accounts which are 30 days or more past due in order to
identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability
issues. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2009
increased to $486,491 from $136,451 an increase of 255%. The increase
is primarily attributable to including a full year of operations in
2009. The increase of this expense is also attributed to the increase
of revenue and accounts receivable, for the year 2009.
Loss on
disposal of assets for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $36,585. On
December 31, 2008, our headquarters were relocated from Hallandale, Florida to
Boca Raton, Florida. Leasehold improvements and certain furniture and
fixtures were disposed of. For the year ended December 31, 2009,
there were no asset disposals.
Other general and administrative
expenses consist primarily of consulting, investor relations and professional
services as well as insurance and the depreciation and amortization of
intangible assets. The general and administrative expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $2,887,148 from $1,764,113 for the
period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008 a 64%
increase. The other general and administrative expenses include
consulting, investor relations and professional services which increased to
approximately $1,600,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from approximately
$650,000 for the period June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, an
increase of 145%. The increase is primarily attributable to including
a full year of operations in 2009.
Goodwill Impairment for the year ended
December 31, 2009 was $4,735,553. The Company performed its annual impairment
test of Goodwill as of December 31, 2009. As a result of the annual test, the
Company recorded a non-cash impairment of Goodwill of $4,735,553. There was no
goodwill impairment charge in 2008. See discussion in Note 6 to our
consolidated financial statements.
15
Other
income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $20,154 which
mainly includes settlement income of $465,842 for settlements of past due
liabilities and ($449,892) of interest expense on notes and capital
leases. For the period from June 23, 2008 (Inception) to December 31,
2008 other income (expense) was ($32,179). This included $2,363 for
interest income and ($34,542) of interest expense on promissory notes and
capital leases.
We
recognized an income tax benefit of $213,597 for the year ended December 31,
2008 relating to the book-tax basis differences of certain acquired assets and
assumed liabilities of the 1 Touch’s business acquisition. No tax
benefit or expense was recorded for the year ended December 31,
2009.
The net loss for the year ended
December 31, 2009, was $9,378,732, and the net loss per share basic and diluted
was $0.15. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008, was
$3,436,898, and the net loss per share basic and diluted was $0.08.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
In 2009,
we used $1,796,902 in cash for operations. The cash used consisted of
our net loss $9,378,732 offset by certain larger non-cash items including
impairment of goodwill of $4,735,553 stock options granted for services of
$730,132, amortization of intangibles of $563,993, and bad debt expense of
$486,493.
In 2009,
we were provided $2,993,518 of cash in financing activities including $170,733
received from the sale of common stock, $228,634 from the exercise of warrants
and $2,480,350 from the sale of Series B preferred stock.
In 2009,
our investing activities used net cash of $2,714 to purchase fixed
assets.
As of
December 31, 2009, we had $347,000 in outstanding notes payable. In
January 2010, three note holders converted $110,000 of their notes into Options
Media’s common stock and we re-paid the remaining $237,000. As of
March 26, 2010, we had approximately $790,000 in available cash, $637,440 in
accounts receivable and have no loans or notes payable.
To remain
operational through the next 12 months, we will need to improve our cash
flows. To accomplish this, our management has been focused on
shifting our business to higher margin products such as text messaging and email
platforms and looking to cut expenses. If we are unable to improve
our cash flow, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt
financings. If required, additional financing may not be available on
terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Any equity financing may
be very dilutive to our existing shareholders. If we are unsuccessful
in our attempts to increase cash flows to cover our expenditures or raise
additional funds in a financing, we may not be able to remain operational over
the next 12 months.
We invest
excess cash predominately in liquid marketable securities to support our growing
infrastructure needs for operational expansion. We expect to spend
$200,000 on capital expenditures in 2010.
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
statements in this report relating to our future liquidity, expectations
regarding revenue and cost of revenue, expectations regarding growth in the SMS
product line relative to our other services, expectations regarding our lead
products and list management service will have as a percentage of total revenue,
and expectations regarding closing the PhoneGuard transaction and its results on
our revenue are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Additionally, words such as
“expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “will” and similar words are
used to identify forward-looking statements.
The
results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not
occur. Important factors, uncertainties and risks that may cause
actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are
contained in the Risk Factors that follow. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the
result of new information, future events or otherwise. For more
information regarding some of the ongoing risks and uncertainties of our
business, see the Risk Factors and our other filings with the
SEC.
16
RISK
FACTORS
There
are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from
achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially
adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their
investment.
Risk
Factors Relating to Our Company
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt absent obtaining
adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales
levels.
We
incurred net losses of approximately $9.4 million in 2009. We
anticipate these losses will continue for the foreseeable future. We
have not reached a profitable level of operations and have a negative working
capital, all of which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
growing concern. Our continued existence is dependent upon generating
working capital. Because of our continuing losses, we have working
capital to permit us to remain in business only through the end of the year,
without improvements in our cash flow from operations or new
financing. Working capital limitations continue to impinge on our
day-to-day operations, thus contributing to continued operating
losses.
Because
we may need to raise additional capital, if we fail to do we may not be able to
remain operational.
We do not
have enough working capital to remain operational over the next 12
months. If we do not begin to quickly ramp up our revenues, we will
need to complete a debt or equity financing. Either type of financing
will be very dilutive to our existing shareholders. Because of the
continuing decline in the economy in the United States and overseas, the
substantial reduction in available credit and the severe decline in the stock
market and our stock price, we have been hampered in our ability to raise the
necessary working capital. If we do not raise the necessary working
capital, we may not be able to remain operational.
Because
of the severity of the global economic recession, our customers may delay in
paying us or not pay us at all and advertisers may reduce their advertising
budgets. This would have a material and adverse effect on our future
operating results and financial condition.
One of
the effects of the severe global economic recession is that businesses are
tending to maintain their cash resources and delay in paying their creditors
whenever possible. As a trade creditor, we lack leverage unlike
secured lenders and providers of essential services. If the economy
continues to deteriorate, we may find that publishers may delay in paying
us. Additionally, we may find that advertisers will reduce Internet
advertising which would reduce our future revenues. These events will
result in a number of adverse effects upon us including increasing our borrowing
costs, reducing our gross profit margins, and reducing our ability to grow our
business. These events would have a material and adverse effect upon
us.
If
we are unable to attract new customers and retain existing customers on a
cost-effective basis, our business and results of operations will be affected
adversely.
To continue to grow our business, we
will need to attract and retain new customers on a cost-effective basis, many of
whom have not previously used our marketing services. We rely on a
variety of methods to attract new customers, such as sponsoring industry trade
shows. In addition, we are committed to providing our customers with
a high level of support. As a result, we believe many of our new
customers are referred to us by existing customers. If we are unable
to use any of our current marketing initiatives or the costs of such initiatives
were to significantly increase or our efforts to satisfy our existing customers
are not successful, we may not be able to attract new customers or retain
existing customers on a cost-effective basis and, as a result, our revenue and
results of operations would be affected adversely.
17
In the event we are unable to
minimize our loss of existing customers or to grow our customer base by adding
new customers, our operating results will be adversely
affected.
Our growth strategy requires us to
minimize the loss of our existing customers and grow our customer base by adding
new customers. Customers cancel their accounts for many reasons,
including a perception that they do not use our product effectively, the service
is a poor value and they can manage their email campaigns without our
services. In some cases, we terminate an account because the customer
fails to comply with our standard terms and conditions. We must
continually add new customers to replace customers whose accounts are cancelled
or terminated, which may involve significantly higher marketing expenditures
than we currently anticipate. If too many of our customers cancel our
service, or if we are unable to attract new customers in numbers sufficient to
grow our business, our operating results would be adversely
affected.
As
we expand our customer base through our marketing efforts, our new customers may
use our services differently than our existing customers and, accordingly, our
business model may not be as efficient at attracting and retaining new
customers.
As we expand our customer base, our new
customers may use our services differently than our existing
customers. If our new customers are not as loyal as our existing
customers, our attrition rate will increase and our customer referrals will
decrease, which would have an adverse effect on our results of
operations. In addition, as we seek to expand our customer base, we
expect to increase our marketing budget in order to attract new customers, which
will increase our operating costs. There can be no assurance that
these marketing efforts will be successful.
If
we are unable to complete the PhoneGuard transaction, our future results of
operations may be adversely affected.
We believe completing the PhoneGuard
transaction will be transformational. We expect to close it in April
2010. If, we fail to complete the PhoneGuard transaction, our future
results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Our
customers’ use of our services to transmit negative messages or website links to
harmful applications could damage our reputation, and we may face liability for
unauthorized, inaccurate or fraudulent information distributed via our
services.
Our customers could use our marketing
services to transmit negative messages or website links to harmful applications,
reproduce and distribute copyrighted material without permission, or report
inaccurate or fraudulent data. Any such use of our services could
damage our reputation and we could face claims for damages, copyright or
trademark infringement, defamation, negligence or fraud. Moreover,
our customers’ promotion of their services and services through our email
marketing product may not comply with federal, state and foreign
laws. We cannot predict whether our role in facilitating these
activities would expose us to liability under these laws.
18
Even if claims asserted against us do
not result in liability, we may incur substantial costs in investigating and
defending such claims. If we are found liable for our customers’
activities, we could be required to pay fines or penalties, redesign business
methods or otherwise expend resources to remedy any damages caused by such
actions and to avoid future liability.
Our existing general liability
insurance may not cover all potential claims to which we are exposed or may not
be adequate to indemnify us for all liabilities that may be
imposed. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance
or is in excess of insurance coverage would increase our operating losses and
reduce our net worth and working capital.
If we fail to enhance our existing
services or develop new services, our services may become obsolete or less
competitive and we could lose customers.
If we are unable to enhance our
existing services or develop new services that keep pace with rapid
technological developments and meet our customers’ needs, our business will be
harmed. Creating and designing such enhancements and new services
entail significant technical and business risks and require substantial
expenditures and lead-time, and there is no guarantee that such enhancements and
new services will be completed in a timely fashion. Nor is there any
guarantee that any new product offerings will gain widespread acceptance among
our marketing customers or by the broader market. For
example, our existing email marketing customers may not view any new product as
complementary to our email product offerings and therefore decide not to
purchase such product. If we cannot enhance our existing services or
develop new services or if we are not successful in selling such enhancements
and new services to our customers, we could lose customers or have difficulty
attracting new customers, which would adversely impact our financial
performance.
If there is new
tax treatment of companies engaged in Internet commerce, this may adversely
affect the commercial use of our marketing services and our financial
results.
Due to
the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that, governments of states or
foreign countries might attempt to tax our activities. As the
recession placed budgetary pressures on governments, it is possible that they
may seek to tax Internet activities. New or revised tax regulations
may subject us to additional sales, income and other taxes. We cannot
predict the effect of current attempts to impose taxes on commerce over the
Internet. New or revised taxes and, in particular, sales taxes, would
likely increase the cost of doing business online, reduce Internet sales and
decrease the attractiveness of advertising over the Internet. Any of
these events could have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
If
we fail to prevent click fraud or if we choose to manage traffic quality in a
way that advertisers find unsatisfactory, our profitability might
decline.
A portion
of our revenue arises from advertisers that pay for advertising on a
price-per-click basis, meaning that the advertisers pay a fee every time a user
clicks on their advertising. This pricing model can be vulnerable to
so-called “click fraud,” which occurs when clicks are submitted on ads by a user
who is motivated by reasons other than genuine interest in the subject of the
ad. We are exposed to the risk of click fraud or other clicks or
conversions that advertisers may perceive as undesirable. If
fraudulent or other malicious activity is perpetrated by others and we are
unable to detect and prevent it, or if we choose to manage traffic quality in a
way that advertisers find unsatisfactory, the affected advertisers may
experience or perceive a reduced return on their investment in our advertising
and marketing programs which could lead the advertisers to become dissatisfied
and they might refuse to pay or demand refunds. This could damage our
reputation and lead to a loss of advertisers and revenue. Advertiser
dissatisfaction has led to litigation alleging click fraud and other types of
traffic quality-related claims and could potentially lead to further litigation
or government regulation of advertising. We may also issue refunds or
credits as a result of such activity. Any increase in costs due to
any such litigation, government regulation or legislation, refunds or credits
could negatively impact our profitability.
19
If we fail to retain our key
personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our
business could suffer.
Our future depends, in part, on our
ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our future also depends
on the continued contributions of our executive officers and other key technical
personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. In particular,
Scott Frohman, Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Lansman, President, Dale Harrod,
Chief Technology Officer and Steve Stowell, Chief Financial Officer, are
critical to the management of our business and operations and the development of
our strategic direction. The loss of the services of
Messrs. Frohman, Lansman, Harrod, Stowell or other executive officers or
key personnel and the process to replace any of our key personnel would involve
significant time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the
achievement of our business objectives.
Competition
for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the
highly skilled employees whom we need to support our business.
Competition for highly skilled
technical and marketing personnel is extremely intense, and we continue to face
difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in many areas of our
business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at
compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary
structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for
experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to
offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates
making employment decisions, particularly in high-technology industries, often
consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their
employment. Any significant volatility in the price of our stock may
adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical and
marketing personnel.
In addition, we invest significant time
and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to
competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our
employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their
replacements and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our
customers could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our
business.
The
market in which we participate is competitive and, if we do not compete
effectively, our operating results could be harmed.
The market for our services is
competitive and rapidly changing, and the barriers to entry are relatively
low. With the introduction of new technologies and the influx of new
entrants to the market, we expect competition to persist and intensify in the
future, which could harm our ability to increase sales and maintain our
prices.
20
We compete with several companies in
each segment of our business. Our current and potential competitors
may have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources
than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the development,
promotion, sale and support of their products or services. Our
potential competitors may have more extensive customer bases and broader
customer relationships than we have. In addition, these companies may have
longer operating histories and greater name recognition than we
have. These competitors may be better able to respond quickly to new
technologies and to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns. If
we are unable to compete with such companies, the demand for our services could
substantially decline.
Because
the CAN-SPAM Act imposes certain obligations on the senders of commercial
emails, it could minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing product, and
establishes financial penalties for non-compliance, which could increase the
costs of our business.
The CAN-SPAM Act, which establishes
certain requirements for commercial email messages and specifies penalties for
the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the
recipient as to source or content. In addition, some states have
passed laws regulating commercial email and text messaging practices that are
significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act,
particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted do-not-email registries and
text messaging listing minors who do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial
email and texts that markets certain covered content, such as tobacco, alcohol
and adult or other harmful products. Some portions of these state laws may not
be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act. The ability of our customers’
constituents to opt out of receiving commercial emails and texts may minimize
the effectiveness of our email and text messaging marketing
products. Moreover, non-compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act carries
significant financial penalties. If we were found to be in violation
of the CAN-SPAM Act, applicable state laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or
foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a
result of violations by our customers or if we were deemed to be directly
subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be required to pay
penalties, which would adversely affect our financial performance and
significantly harm our reputation and our business. We also may be
required to change one or more aspects of the way we operate our business, which
could impair our ability to attract and retain customers or increase our
operating costs.
Evolving
regulations concerning data privacy may restrict our customers’ ability to
solicit, collect, process and use data necessary to conduct email marketing
campaigns or to send surveys and analyze the results or may increase their
costs, which could harm our business.
Federal, state and foreign governments
have enacted, and may in the future enact, laws and regulations concerning the
solicitation, collection, processing or use of consumers’ personal
information. Such laws and regulations may require companies to
implement privacy and security policies, permit users to access, correct and
delete personal information stored or maintained by such companies, inform
individuals of security breaches that affect their personal information, and, in
some cases, obtain individuals’ consent to use personal information for certain
purposes. Other proposed legislation could, if enacted, prohibit the
use of certain technologies that track individuals’ activities on web pages or
that record when individuals click through to an Internet address contained in
an email message. Such laws and regulations could restrict our
customers’ ability to collect and use email addresses, page viewing data,
and personal information, which may reduce demand for our services.
21
As
Internet commerce develops, federal, state and foreign governments may draft and
propose new laws to regulate Internet commerce, which may negatively affect our
business.
As Internet commerce continues to
evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign governments becomes
more likely. Our business could be negatively impacted by the
application of existing laws and regulations or the enactment of new laws
applicable to email marketing. The cost to comply with such laws or
regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, and
we may be unable to pass along those costs to our customers in the form of
increased subscription fees. In addition, federal, state and foreign
governmental or regulatory agencies may decide to impose taxes on services
provided over the Internet or via email. Such taxes could discourage
the use of the Internet and email as a means of commercial marketing, which
would adversely affect the viability of our services.
If
the delivery of our customers’ emails is limited or blocked, the fees we may be
able to charge for our email marketing product may not be accepted by the market
and customers may cancel their accounts.
Internet service providers, or ISPs,
can block emails from reaching their users. Recent releases of ISP
software and the implementation of stringent new policies by ISPs make it more
difficult to deliver our customers’ emails. If ISPs materially limit
or halt the delivery of our customers’ emails, or if we fail to deliver our
customers’ emails in a manner compatible with ISPs’ email handling or
authentication technologies, then the fees we charge for our email marketing
product may not be accepted by the market, and customers may cancel their
accounts.
If
our email activities are blacklisted by ISPs or others, our ability to conduct
business and future revenue and income will be adversely affected.
We depend on email to market to and
communicate with our customers, and our customers rely on email to communicate
with their constituents. Various private entities attempt to regulate
the use of email for commercial solicitation. These entities often
advocate standards of conduct or practice that significantly exceed current
legal requirements and classify certain email solicitations that comply with
current legal requirements as spam. Some of these entities maintain
“blacklists” of companies and individuals, and the websites, ISPs and Internet
protocol addresses associated with those entities or individuals that do not
adhere to those standards of conduct or practices for commercial email
solicitations that the blacklisting entity believes are
appropriate. If a company’s Internet protocol addresses are listed by
a blacklisting entity, emails sent from those addresses may be blocked if they
are sent to any Internet domain or Internet address that subscribes to the
blacklisting entity’s service or purchases its blacklist.
Some of our Internet protocol addresses
currently are listed with one or more blacklisting entities and, in the future,
our Internet protocol addresses may also be listed with these and other
blacklisting entities. There can be no guarantee that we will not
continue to be blacklisted or that we will be able to successfully remove
ourselves from those lists. Blacklisting of this type could interfere
with our ability to market our services and services and communicate with our
customers and could undermine the effectiveness of our customers’ email
marketing campaigns, all of which could have a material negative impact on our
business and results of operations.
22
If
we experience any significant disruption in service or in our computer systems
or in our customer support services, it could reduce the attractiveness of our
services and result in a loss of customers.
The satisfactory performance,
reliability and availability of our technology and our underlying network
infrastructure are critical to our operations, level of customer service,
reputation and ability to attract new customers and retain existing
customers. Our system hardware is co-located at third-party hosting
facilities throughout the United States. None of the operators of
these co-located facilities guarantees that our customers’ access to our
services will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Our operations
depend on the ability of the operators of these facilities to protect their and
our systems in their facilities against damage or interruption from natural
disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality, temperature,
humidity and other environmental concerns, computer viruses or other attempts to
harm our systems, criminal acts and similar events. In the event that our
arrangement with any of the operators of our co-located facilities is
terminated, or there is a lapse of service or damage to their facilities, we
could experience interruptions in our service as well as delays and additional
expense in arranging new facilities. In addition, our customer
support services, which are currently located only at our Florida office, would
experience interruptions as a result of any disruption of electrical, phone or
any other similar facility support services. Any interruptions or
delays in access to our services or customer support, whether as a result of
third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches,
whether accidental or willful, could harm our relationships with customers and
our reputation. Also, in the event of damage or interruption, our
insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may
incur. These factors could damage our brand and reputation, divert
our employees’ attention, reduce our revenue, subject us to liability and cause
customers to cancel their accounts, any of which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
If
the security of our customers’ confidential information stored in our systems is
breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, our reputation may be
harmed, we may be exposed to liability and we may lose the ability to offer our
customers a credit card payment option.
Our system stores our customers’
proprietary email distribution lists and other critical
data. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other
unauthorized access could expose us to liability for the loss of such
information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and other possible
liabilities as well as negative publicity. If security measures are
breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or
otherwise, or if design flaws in our software are exposed and exploited, and, as
a result, a third party obtains unauthorized access to any of our customers’
data, our relationships with our customers will be severely damaged, and we
could incur significant liability. Because techniques used to obtain
unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are
not recognized until they are launched against a target, we and our third-party
hosting facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement
adequate preventative measures. In addition, many states, including
Massachusetts, have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of
data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory
disclosures regarding a security breach often lead to widespread negative
publicity, which may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness
of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or
perceived, would harm our reputation, and we could lose customers.
If we fail to maintain compliance with
the data protection policy documentation standards adopted by the major credit
card issuers, we could lose our ability to offer our customers a credit card
payment option. Any loss of our ability to offer our customers a
credit card payment option would make our services less attractive to many
customers by negatively impacting our customer experience and significantly
increasing our administrative costs related to customer payment
processing.
23
If
we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our unpatented proprietary
information, processes and know-how and our trade secrets, the value of our
technology and services could be adversely affected.
We rely upon unpatented proprietary
technology, processes and know-how and trade secrets. Although we try
to protect this information in part by executing confidentiality agreements with
our employees, consultants and third parties, such agreements may offer only
limited protection and may be breached. Any unauthorized disclosure
or dissemination of our proprietary technology, processes and know-how or our
trade secrets, whether by breach of a confidentiality agreement or otherwise,
may cause irreparable harm to our business, and we may not have adequate
remedies for any such breach. In addition, our trade secrets may
otherwise be independently developed by our competitors or other third
parties. If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our
proprietary information, processes and know-how or our trade secrets are
disclosed, the value of our technology and services could be adversely affected,
which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our
use of open source software could impose limitations on our ability to
commercialize our services.
We incorporate open source software
into our services. Although we monitor our use of open source
software closely, the terms of many open source licenses to which we are subject
have not been interpreted by United States or foreign courts, and there is a
risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes
unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our
services. In such event or in the event there is a significant change
in the terms of open source licenses in general, we could be required to seek
licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our services, to
re-engineer our services or to discontinue sales of our services, or to release
our software code under the terms of an open source license, any of which could
materially adversely affect our business.
Given the nature of open source
software, there is also a risk that third parties may assert copyright and other
intellectual property infringement claims against us based on our use of certain
open source software programs. The risks associated with intellectual
property infringement claims are discussed immediately below.
If
a third party asserts that we are infringing its intellectual property, whether
successful or not, it could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation
or require us to obtain expensive licenses, and our business may be adversely
affected.
The software and Internet industries
are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and
copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or
other violations of intellectual property rights. Third parties may
assert patent and other intellectual property infringement claims against us in
the form of lawsuits, letters or other forms of communication. These claims,
whether or not successful, could:
|
●
|
Divert
management’s attention;
|
|
●
|
Result
in costly and time-consuming
litigation;
|
|
●
|
Require
us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may not be
available on acceptable terms, or at
all;
|
|
●
|
In
the case of open source software-related claims, require us to release our
software code under the terms of an open source license;
or
|
|
●
|
Require
us to redesign our software and services to avoid
infringement.
|
24
As a
result, any third-party intellectual property claims against us could increase
our expenses and adversely affect our business. In addition, many of
our agreements with our channel partners require us to indemnify them for
third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which would increase the
cost to us resulting from an adverse ruling on any such claim. Even
if we have not infringed any third parties’ intellectual property rights, we
cannot be sure our legal defenses will be successful, and even if we are
successful in defending against such claims, our legal defense could require
significant financial resources and management time. Finally, if a
third party successfully asserts a claim that our services infringe their
proprietary rights, royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on
terms we find acceptable, or at all.
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
Because
the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common
stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid
by them.
Our
common stock trades on the Bulletin Board which is not a liquid
market. There is currently only a limited public market for our
common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for
our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an
active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the
price may continue to decline.
Because
we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the
purchase of our common stock which adversely affects its liquidity and market
price.
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the
Bulletin Board has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and therefore we
are currently considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This
designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose
certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from
the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to
purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of
broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the
liquidity of the public market for our shares.
Due
to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile.
Any of
the following factors could affect the market price of our common
stock:
●
|
Our
failure to generate increasing revenues;
|
●
|
Short
selling activities;
|
●
|
Our
failure to become profitable;
|
●
|
Our
failure to raise working
capital;
|
25
●
|
Our
public disclosure of the terms of any financing which we consummate in the
future;
|
●
|
Actual
or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of
operations;
|
●
|
Announcements
by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new services,
acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
●
|
The
loss of major customers or product or component
suppliers;
|
●
|
The
loss of significant business relationships;
|
●
|
Our
failure to meet financial analysts’ performance
expectations;
|
●
|
Changes
in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;
or
|
●
|
Changes
in market valuations of similar
companies.
|
In the
past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s
securities, securities class action litigation has often been
instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in
substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would
otherwise be used to benefit our business.
We
may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders, which could
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our
stock price.
Our Board
may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more additional series of
preferred stock that have more than one vote per share. This could
permit our Board to issue preferred stock to investors who support Options Media
and our management and give effective control of our business to Options Media
and our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could
block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline
in interest of our common stock. This could make it more difficult
for shareholders to sell their common stock. This could also cause
the market price of our common stock shares to drop significantly, even if our
business is performing well.
An
investment in Options Media may be diluted in the future as a result of the
issuance of additional securities, the exercise of options or warrants or the
conversion of outstanding preferred stock.
In order
to raise additional capital to meet its working capital needs, Options Media
expects to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible,
exchangeable or exercisable into common stock from time to time, which could
result in substantial dilution to investors. Investors should
anticipate being substantially diluted based upon the current condition of the
capital and credit markets.
Because
we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, it could
have a material impact upon the price of our common stock.
It is not likely that securities
analysts of major brokerage firms will provide research coverage for our common
stock since the firm itself cannot recommend the purchase of our common stock
under the penny stock rules referenced in an earlier risk factor. The
absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will
develop for our common stock. It may also make it more difficult for us to
attract new investors at times when we acquire additional capital.

Disclosure
Controls
We
carried out an evaluation required by Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, or the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule
15d-15(e)).
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that (i)
information required to be disclosed in an issuer's reports filed under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
The
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our
objectives and processes and effect on the information generated for use in this
report. This type of evaluation is done quarterly so that the
conclusions concerning the effectiveness of these controls can be reported in
our periodic reports filed with the SEC. We intend to maintain these
controls as processes that may be appropriately modified as circumstances
warrant.
Based on
their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective in timely alerting them to material
information which is required to be included in our periodic reports filed with
the SEC as of the end of the period covering this report.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule
15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the criteria set
forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our
evaluation under the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
27
However,
a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the
benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the company have been detected. The design of any system of
controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of
how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be
detected.
This
report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our
independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of
the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this
report.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the fourth quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Committees
of the Board
We expect
our Board, in the future, to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee
and compensation committee, and to adopt a charter relative to each such
committee. We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the
Board as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance
requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not
required to comply with such requirement until we elect to seek listing on a
national securities exchange.
Code
of Ethics
Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics
that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officers and
Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics
also applies to our Board. The Code provides written standards that
we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and
ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts
of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair,
accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules
and regulations, including insider trading, corporate opportunities and

Shareholder
Communications
Although we do not have a formal policy
regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the
Board by writing to us at Options Media Group Holdings, Inc., 123 NW 13th
Street, Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, Attention: Marnie Goldberg or by
facsimile (561) 892-2618. Shareholders who would like their
submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the
communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.
Director
Independence
Our Board
has determined that Hakan Koyuncu is independent in accordance with the NASDAQ
Stock Market rules.
Board
Structure
We have chosen to combine the Chief
Executive Officer and Board Chairman positions. We believe that this
Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for Options
Media. Because we are a small company and do not have significant
revenues, it is more efficient to have the leadership of the Board in the same
hands as the Chief Executive Officer of Options Media. The challenges
faced by us at this stage – obtaining financing and developing our business –
are most efficiently dealt with by one person who is familiar with both the
operational aspects as well as the strategic aspects of our
business.
Board
Assessment of Risk
Our risk
management function is overseen by our Board. Our management keeps
our Board apprised of material risks and provides our directors access to all
information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks
interrelate, how they affect Options Media, and how management addresses those
risks. Mr. Frohman, as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
Mr. Stowell, our Chief Financial Officer, work closely together with the Board
once material risks are identified on how to best address such
risk. If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict
with management, our independent director may conduct the
assessment. Presently, the primary risks affecting Options Media are
the lack of working capital and the inability to generate sufficient revenues so
that we have positive cash flow from operations. The Board focuses on
these key risks at each meeting and actively interfaces with management on
seeking solutions.
Board
Diversity
While we
do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board considers as one of the
factors the diversity of the composition of our Board and the skill set,
background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our Board
members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that
mix. Although there are many other factors, the Committee seeks to
attract individuals with knowledge of Internet marketing.

Media’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, of which 16,700,000 were
granted to executive officers and 500,000 were granted to a
director. Also includes 2,965,097 options granted under the
Plan.
2008
Equity Incentive Plan
On June 23, 2008, our Board adopted the
Plan, under which we may issue up to 8,000,000 shares of restricted stock and
stock options to our directors, employees and consultants.
The Plan is to be administered by a
Committee of two or more independent directors, or in their absence by the
Board. The identification of individuals entitled to receive awards,
the terms of the awards, and the number of shares subject to individual awards,
are determined by our Board or the Committee, in their sole
discretion. The total number of shares with respect to which options
or stock awards may be granted under the Plan and the purchase price per share,
if applicable, shall be adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares resulting from a recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, or other subdivision or consolidation of shares.
The Plan provides for the grant of
non-qualified stock option and incentive stock options, or ISOs, as defined by
the Internal Revenue Code. For any ISOs granted, the exercise price
may not be less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of 10%
shareholders. Options granted under the Plan shall expire no later
than 10 years after the date of grant, except for ISOs granted to 10%
shareholders which must expire not later than five years from
grant. The option price may be paid in United States dollars by check
or other acceptable instrument including wire transfer or, at the discretion of
the Board or the Committee, by delivery of shares of our common stock having
fair market value equal as of the date of exercise to the cash exercise price,
or a combination thereof.
Our Board or the Committee may from
time to time alter, amend, suspend, or discontinue the Plan with respect to any
shares as to which awards of stock rights have not been
granted. However no rights granted with respect to any awards under
the Plan before the amendment or alteration shall not be impaired by any such
amendment, except with the written consent of the grantee.
35
Under the terms of the Plan, our Board
or the Committee may also grant awards which will be subject to vesting under
certain conditions. In the absence of a determination by the Board or
Committee, options shall vest and be exercisable at the end of one, two and
three years, except for ISOs, which are subject to a $100,000 per calendar year
limit on becoming first exercisable. The vesting may be
time-based or based upon meeting performance standards, or
both. Recipients of restricted stock awards will realize ordinary
income at the time of vesting equal to the fair market value of the
shares. We will realize a corresponding compensation
deduction. Upon the exercise of stock options other than ISOs, the
holder will have a basis in the shares acquired equal to any amount paid on
exercise plus the amount of any ordinary income recognized by the
holder. For ISOs which meet certain requirements, the exercise is not
taxable upon sale of the shares, the holder will have a capital gain or loss
equal to the sale proceeds minus his or her basis in the shares.

Plan to our executive officers and directors.

are based on 222,996,640 shares outstanding adjusted as required by rules
of the SEC. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC
and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to
securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants
and convertible notes currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable
or convertible within 60 days after the date of this report are deemed
outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such
securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing
the percentage of any other person. Unless otherwise
indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each of the
shareholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with
respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned by
them.

13. CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE.
On December 5, 2008, we borrowed
$50,000 from Daniel Lansman, our President and a director, and issued him a
$50,000 promissory note. On January 22, 2010, we agreed to convert
this promissory note at $0.035 per share and re-paid all of the accrued
interest. Mr. Lansman sold the convertible note and the investor
converted it into common stock. Also, we owe Scott Frohman and Daniel
Lansman $16,938 for expenses they personally advanced on our behalf.
In 2009,
Mr. Nat Bumbaca, the brother of Mr. Anthony Bumbaca, our former Senior Vice
President, was employed by us as a sales representative and received a salary of
$48,000 per year and commissions which was comparable to the amounts paid to our
other salespeople. We believe that the compensation payable to Mr.
Nat Bumbaca is comparable to what would have been obtained in an arm’s-length
transaction.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Options
Media Group Holdings, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Options Media Group
Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Options Media
Group Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $9,378,732, and
net cash used in operations of $1,796,902 for the year ended December 31, 2009,
and a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of $125,200, and
$12,884,163 respectively at December 31, 2009. These matters raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in
regards to these matters is also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTE 1
- NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of
Business
Options
Media Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Heavy Metal, Inc., was
incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 27, 2007. On July 27,
2007, the Company acquired a mineral claim for the purpose of exploring for
economic deposits of uranium in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan,
Canada. Prior to June 23, 2008, the Company was in the development
stage since its formation, without material assets or
activities. Upon the consummation of the June 23, 2008 business
combination discussed below, the Company exited the development
stage.
On June
19, 2008, the Company effected a 1-for 1.81481481481 forward stock split
pursuant to an Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation were approved by stockholders on June 18, 2008. All
share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
On June
23, 2008, the Company completed a
merger
with Options Acquisition Sub, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Options”) which is described below.
In
connection with this merger, the Company discontinued its former business and
succeeded to the business of Options as its sole line of business. The merger
was accounted for as a purchase method acquisition pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combinations
(formerly SFAS No. 141). Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the
fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company is
the acquirer for accounting purposes and Options is the acquired
compa
ny.
Options
was originally formed in Florida on February 22, 2000, under the name Options
Ne
wslet
ter, Inc. and is engaged in the design
of custom email delivery solutions for commercial customers. On January 4, 2008,
Options Newsletter, Inc. merged with and into Options Acquisition Sub, Inc., a
newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Customer Acquisition Network
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware company (“CAN”), with Options being the surviving
corporation. Options began selling advertising space within free electronic
newsletters that it published and emailed to subscribers. Options also generated
leads for customers by emailing its customers’ advertisements to various email
addresses from within its database. Options is also an email service provider
(“ESP”) and offers customers an email delivery platform to create, send and
track email campaigns. Options also manages and markets its customers’ lists and
makes them available to advertisers who are trying to reach customers similar to
theirs. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the majority of
Options’ revenue was derived from being an ESP, but it continues to provide
email customer advertisements on a cost per lead generated basis.
On
September 19, 2008, the Company completed a merger with 1 Touch Marketing, LLC
(“1 Touch”). 1 Touch is an online direct marketing and data services company. 1
Touch was formed on October 23, 2003 as a Limited Liability Corporation, in the
State of Florida. 1 Touch offers its products and services to traditional
advertising agencies and online marketing agencies. These resellers/agencies
offer the 1 Touch’s products and services to their clients as a stand-alone
marketing effort or as part of a larger multi-channel marketing campaign. 1
Touch also offers its products and services to a network of list
brokers. These organizations market postal lists and offer its email
marketing lists. 1 Touch generates revenue from its product lines, which include
email marketing campaigns, lead generation and direct mail and postal
lists.
Merger with
Options
On June
23, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of
Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Options,
Options Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of
the Company (“Acquisition Sub”) and CAN. Upon closing of the merger transaction
contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), on June 23, 2008
Acquisition Sub merged with and into Options, and Options, as the surviving
corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The
Merger consideration included $3 million in cash, a $1 million senior secured
promissory note and 12.5 million shares of the Company’s stock valued at $0.30
per share based on the then recent contemporaneous offering price for a private
placement of $0.30 per share (applying ASC 805-10-25). The total purchase price
was $7,798,089 and includes the cash of $3,000,000, common stock valued at
$3,750,000, legal fees of $48,089, and the $1,000,000 promissory
note.
The
Company accounted for the Merger utilizing the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations
(formerly SFAS No. 141). The Company is the acquirer for accounting
purposes and Options is the acquired company. Accordingly, the Company applied
push–down accounting and adjusted to fair value all of the assets and
liabilities directly on the financial statements of Options. The net purchase
price, including acquisition costs paid by the Company, was allocated to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed on the records of the Company as

Merger with 1
Touch
On August
27, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with 1 Touch
Marketing, LLC (the “1 Touch Merger Agreement”). The acquisition closed on
September 19, 2008. Pursuant to the 1 Touch Merger Agreement, Options Media
acquired all of the membership interests of 1 Touch in exchange for common stock
of the Company and cash. The two owners of 1 Touch received their proportionate
share of (i) $1,500,000 in cash, (ii) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock of which 1,000,000 shares have piggy-back registration rights, and (iii)
the right to receive a maximum earn-out payment of 6,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock based on 1 Touch achieving specific performance
milestones. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the earn-out payment
was not earned. Additionally, Daniel Lansman and Anthony Bumbaca, the
owners of 1 Touch, became president and senior vice president of the Company,
respectively, Mr. Bumbaca resigned in 2009 and Mr. Lansman will receive (i) an
annual base salary of $240,000, (ii) 5% commission from all revenues, less
related expenses, received by the Company from parties introduced to the Company
by them and prior customers of 1 Touch and (iii) a performance bonus based on 1
Touch achieving specific performance milestones. Furthermore, Mr. Lansman
and will receive 18 months base salary in the event he is terminated
without cause or for Good Reason as defined by his employment agreement. (See
Note 13 for severance agreement) Mr. Lansman was appointed to the
Company’s Board of Directors. In connection with the 1 Touch Merger Agreement,
the Company issued 10,000,000 unregistered shares of common stock valued at
$3,000,000. The shares were valued at the then recent contemporaneous offering
price for a private placement of $0.30 per share (applying ASC 805-10-25). The
total purchase price was $4,655,382 and includes the cash of $1,500,000, common

Going
Concern
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $9,378,732 and $1,796,902
of net cash used in operations. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a working
capital deficiency of $125,200. Additionally, at December 31, 2009, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $12,884,163. These matters and the Company’s
expected needs for capital investments required to support operational growth
and maturing debt raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from its inability to continue as a going concern.

December

The
Company has financed its working capital and capital expenditure requirements
primarily from the sales of common stock, Series B preferred stock, warrant
exercises, issuance of short term debt securities and sales of advertising and
data services. The Company was able to raise $3,000,000 in the fourth quarter
before any associated costs and converted three notes valued at $923,000 of
principle and $290,000 of accrued interest and note fees into shares of Series A
convertible preferred stock. The Company’s growth strategy is focused toward
those product initiatives with high margins and strong cash flows.
Based on
actions being taken to improve liquidity as discussed above, management believes
that the Company will meet its expected needs required to continue as a going
concern through December 31, 2010.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of
consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries, Options Acquisition Sub, Inc., 1 Touch Marketing,
LLC and Icon Term Life, Inc. All material inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of
Estimates
The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting
principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The
Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which the
Company relies are reasonable based upon information available at the time that
these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments
and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of our consolidated financial statements as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated
financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the
accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by
GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are
also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative
would not produce a materially different result.
The most
significant estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, purchase
price fair value allocation for business combinations, estimates of depreciable
lives and valuation of property and equipment, valuation of discounts on debt,
valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation and
amortization periods of intangible assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of
stock based compensation and the deferred tax valuation allowance.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2009 and 2008
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and are
non-interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. The Company reviews the
accounts receivable which are 30 days or more past due in order to identify
specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining
the amount of the reserve, the Company makes judgments about the
creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit
evaluations.
Software
Purchased
software is initially recorded at cost, which is considered to be fair value at
the time of purchase. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets of three years. Costs associated with
upgrades and enhancements to existing Internal-use software that result in
additional functionality are capitalized if they can be separated from
maintenance costs, whereas costs for maintenance are expensed as
incurred.
Software
amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $31,263
and $15,817, respectively.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets per the following table. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of the estimated useful lives or related lease terms. If there is no
specified lease term, the Company amortizes leasehold improvements over the
estimated useful life.

Mineral
Properties
The
Company was in the exploration stage since its inception on June 27, 2007,
until June 23, 2008 and did not realize any revenues from its planned
operations in this prior business. It was primarily engaged in the acquisition
and exploration of mining properties until June 23, 2008. Mineral property
exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs
are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in ASC 930-805. The
Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360 at each fiscal
quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be
economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves,
the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs
will be amortized using the shares-of-production method over the estimated life
of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or
impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company records the purchase of intangible assets not purchased in a
business combination in accordance with ASC 350-10-05 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (formerly SFAS 142) and records intangible assets acquired in a
business combination or pushed-down pursuant to acquisition by its parent in
accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations
(formerly SFAS 141).
Customer
relationships for its subsidiary, Options Acquisition Inc. are based upon the
estimated percentage of annual or period projected cash flows generated by such
relationships, to the total cash flows generated over the estimated life of the
customer relationships.
Customer
relationships for its subsidiary, 1 Touch, are amortized over the estimated
life.
Email
databases are amortized over the estimated life.
The
non-compete intangible is amortized over the term of the agreement.

Goodwill
The
Company tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350-10-05 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (formerly SFAS No. 142) . Accordingly, goodwill is tested for
impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that
goodwill might be impaired. The Company has elected to test for goodwill
impairment annually. See discussion in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Long-Lived
Assets
Management
evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and
other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment
(formerly SFAS No. 144), which generally requires the assessment of these
assets for recoverability when events or circumstances indicate a potential
impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in
determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and
other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to:
significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results;
significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or
economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining
if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be
generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment
is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the
undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair market value of the
assets.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
We
measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their
short maturities. Amounts recorded for notes payable, also
approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt
with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted accounting guidance (ASC 820) for
financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a
material impact on our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity. These guidelines define fair value, provide guidance for
measuring fair value and require certain disclosures. This standard
does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all
other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to
share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques,
such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach
(present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to
replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The
guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad
levels. The following is a brief description of those three
levels:
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or
indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those
that a market participant would use.
On January 1,
2009, we adopted a newly issued accounting standard for fair value measurements
of all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities not recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis. The Company has significant nonfinancial assets for the years
ended December 31, 2009 that require recognition and disclosure at fair
value.
We currently
measure and report at fair value our intangible assets and
goodwill. The fair value of intangible assets has been determined
using the present value of estimated future cash flows method. For
goodwill, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit,
using the market capitalization method, with the carrying amount of the
goodwill. As a result of the annual goodwill test, the Company
recorded impairment in 2009. The following table summarizes our
non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis as of December 31, 2009:

Income
Taxes
The Company uses the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes (formerly SFAS
No. 109). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the
amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and
(ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from
matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax
returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of
operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance
is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight
of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A liability
(including interest if applicable) is established in the financial statements to
the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters
that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position.
Applicable interest is included as a component of income tax expense and income
taxes payables.
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 740 Income Taxes (formerly
FIN 48). ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC
740 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of the Company’s
tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on
the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN 48 also provide
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, and disclosure. Based on its evaluation, the Company has
determined that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring
recognition in the accompanying financial statements. The evaluation
was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, the tax
years which remains subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of
December 31, 2009.
The
Company classifies interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income
taxes in the statements of operations as general and administrative
expenses. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or
penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The
Company currently has provided for a full valuation allowance against the net
deferred tax assets. Based on the available objective evidence, management does
not believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be
realizable in the future. An adjustment to the valuation allowance would benefit
net income in the period in which such determination is made if the Company
determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the
foreseeable future.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, no
significant Company obligations remain, and collection of the related receivable
is reasonably assured.
The
Company, in accordance with ASC 605-45-05, (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue 99-19 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an
Agent,”) reports revenues for transactions in which it is the primary obligor on
a gross basis and revenues in which it acts as an agent on and earns a fixed
percentage of the sale on a net basis, net of related costs. Credits or refunds
are recognized when they are determinable and estimable.
The
following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of
the Company:
Revenues
for advertisements in the Company’s newsletter are recognized at the time the
newsletter is emailed to subscribers.
Revenues
for the Company sending direct emails of customer advertisements to our owned
database or third party database of email addresses are recognized at the time
the customer’s advertisement is emailed to recipients by the Company or third
party mailing contractors.
Revenue
from ESP activities which allow the customer to send the emails themselves, to
our database of email addresses include a monthly fee charged for the customer’s
right to send a fixed number of emails per month. ESP revenue is generally
collected upfront from customers for service periods of one to six months. This
is listed as a deferred revenue in the liabilities section of our balance sheet.
Thus, ESP revenue is deferred and recognized over the respective service period.
Overage charges apply if the customer sends more emails in one month than is
allowed per the contract. Accordingly, overage charges are accrued in the month
of occurrence.
Revenue
from list management services, which principally includes e-mail transmission
services of third party promotional and e-commerce offers to a licensed email
list, is recognized when Internet users visit and complete actions at an
advertiser’s website. Revenue consists of the gross value of billings to
clients. The Company reports this revenue gross in accordance with ASC 605-45-05
because it is responsible for fulfillment of the service, has substantial
latitude in setting price and assumes the credit risk for the entire amount of
the sale, and it is responsible for the payment of all obligations incurred with
advertiser email list owner. Cost of revenue from list management services are
costs incurred to the email list owners whom the Company has licensed such email
list.

Revenue
from SMS is broken down into the three services offered. SMS Push is recognized
at the time the message is sent to the cell phone user, SMS Pull is recognized
as revenue when the cell phone user responds to the advertisement, and SMS
Bluetooth Proximity Marketing is recognized once a month as the client leases
the box on a monthly basis.
The
Company offers lead generation programs to assist a variety of businesses with
customer acquisition for the products and services they are
selling. The Company pre-screens the leads through its online surveys
to meet its clients’ exact criteria. Revenue from generating and
selling leads to customers is recognized at the time of delivery and acceptance
by the customer.
The
Company compiles an exclusive internet responders’ postal mailing
list. This list is sourced from online registration and individuals
who have responded to the Company’s online campaigns. These consumers
are responsive to offers and purchase products and services through online and
offline channels. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the postal
list to customers with the exception of all sales with terms that allow the
customer to review and choose the data the customer wants to utilize, whereby
revenue is recognized upon delivery of the postal list and acceptance by the
customer.
Stock based
compensation
We
adopted ASC 718-20-10; Share
Based Payment (formerly SFAS No. 123R) which establishes the financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation. As required by
ASC 718-20-10, we recognize the cost resulting from all stock-based payment
transactions including shares issued under our stock option plans in the
financial statements. Stock based compensation is measured at fair value at the
time of the grant.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per
Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted-average number of all
common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings (loss)
per share does not assume the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of
securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per
share. As of December 31, 2009, there were 22,865,097 options,
6,520,666 warrants, 457,667 of unvested restricted stock, and a total of
93,238,572 shares of Series A and B preferred stock outstanding
which may dilute future earnings per share (in total, 123,082,002
common stock equivalents).
Advertising
In accordance with ASC 720-35, costs
incurred for producing and communicating advertising of the Company, are charged
to operations as incurred.
Segments
The
Company follows ASC 280-10 for, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." During 2009 and 2008, the Company
only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been
presented.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts included in the 2008
consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets,
liabilities, stockholders equity, gross profit (loss), loss from operations or
net loss.
Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
On
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (formerly SFAS No. 157). ASC 820 defines
fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value
measurements. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position, “FSP FAS 157-2—Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective
date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least
annually). Excluded from the scope of SFAS 157 are certain leasing
transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for
Leases.” The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of
assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured
pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS 157. The
Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of FSP 157-2
will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.

In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market For That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS
157-3”) (ASC 820), with an immediate effective date, including prior periods for
which financial statements have not been issued. FSP FAS 157-3 amends
FAS 157 to clarify the application of fair value in inactive markets and allows
for the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows with
appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable market data
does not exist. The objective of FAS 157 has not changed and
continues to be the determination of the price that would be received in an
orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the
measurement date. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”
(SFAS 161) (ASC 815-10). This statement is intended to improve
transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an
entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the
entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the
scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives,
and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging
instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must
provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative
disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are
currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles” subsequently superseded by SFAS No. 168 (ASC
105-10). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles
and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in
preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with
GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is
directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level
of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below
industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are
not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy
should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that
is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days
following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating
Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position.
In April
2008, FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3) was issued (ASC 350). This standard
amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01 the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“the Codification”) as the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB,
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force
and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), have been superseded by the Codification. All other
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification has become nonauthoritative. The Codification did not change GAAP,
but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards
into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The Codification is
effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009,
and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to
authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the
Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s
financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification
during the year ended December 31, 2009.

As a
result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the year ended
December 31, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and
literature are no longer applicable. In the current financial statements, the
Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in
understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature,
particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year
but prior to the Codification.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855
“Subsequent Events”, formerly (SFAS No. 165) established
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or
available to be issued (“subsequent events”). An entity is required to disclose
the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for
that date. For public entities, this is the date the financial statements are
issued. SFAS No. 165 does not apply to subsequent events or transactions
that are within the scope of other GAAP and did not result in significant
changes in the subsequent events reported by the Company. SFAS No. 165
became effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009
and did not impact the Company’s financial statements. The Company evaluated for
subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial
statements.
ASC
810 “Consolidation”, formerly (SFAS No. 160)
changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests such that they will
be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of
equity. SFAS No. 160 became effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The Company
implemented SFAS No. 160 at the start of fiscal 2009 and no longer records
an intangible asset when the purchase price of a noncontrolling interest exceeds
the book value at the time of buyout. Any excess or shortfall for buyouts of
noncontrolling interests in mature restaurants is recognized as an adjustment to
additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. Any shortfall resulting from
the early buyout of noncontrolling interests will continue to be recognized as a
benefit in partner investment expense up to the initial amount recognized at the
time of buy-in. Additionally, operating losses can be allocated to
noncontrolling interests even when such allocation results in a deficit balance
(i.e. book value can go negative).
The
Company presents noncontrolling interests (previously shown as minority
interest) as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets. Minority
interest expense is no longer separately reported as a reduction to net income
on the consolidated income statement, but is instead shown below net income
under the heading “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.” The
adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any other material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
ASC 810
“Consolidation”, formerly (SFAS
No. 167) amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) )
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities regarding certain guidance for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the
methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest
entity. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for
qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who
should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it
is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS
No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after
November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 167 in fiscal 2010 and does not anticipate any material impact on
the Company’s financial statements.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are
not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.

Customer
relationships for the Company’s subsidiary, Options, are amortized based upon
the estimated percentage of annual or period projected cash flows generated by
such relationships, to the total cash flows generated over the estimated
three-year life of the customer relationships. Accordingly, this
results in an accelerated amortization in which the majority of costs are
amortized during the two-year period following the acquisition date of the
intangible.
Customer
relationships for the Company’s subsidiary, 1 Touch, are amortized over the
estimated life of two years.
The email
database is amortized over the estimated life of three years.
The
non-compete intangible is being amortized over the remaining term of the
agreement, which is 1.50 years.
The

NOTE
7 – NOTES PAYABLE, AND NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES
On
June 23, 2008, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company issued
a 10% senior secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the original principal
amount of $1,000,000 to CAN due on December 23, 2008.
The Note
was subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Security
Agreement by and between the Company and CAN dated June 23, 2008 (the
“Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted CAN a first
priority security interest in all of the Company’s and Options’ personal
property and assets. The Note was senior in right of payment to all indebtedness
incurred by the Company. Options was a guarantor of this indebtedness. The
Company was entitled to prepay the Note, in whole or in part,
provided that any prepayment will first be applied to expenses due under the
Note, second to interest accrued under the Note and third to the payment of
principal due under the Note.
On
July 18, 2008, the Company borrowed $900,000 from a related party and used
the proceeds (and existing cash) to prepay the CAN Note. The $900,000 loan pays
7% per annum interest and is secured by a first lien of all of the Company’s
assets and a pledge of the common stock of Options. On August 14, 2008, the
lender extended the due date of the $900,000 loan from September 18, 2008
to July 31, 2009, then extended from July 31, 2009 to December 31, 2009. As
of December 31, 2008, the principal balance and accrued interest on this
note amounted to $500,000 and $20,443, respectively. In December 2009 the note
holder converted the principle amount and accrued interest to Series A
convertible preferred stock.
On
December 3, 2008, the Company borrowed $50,000, $80,000 and $100,000 from
three related parties pursuant to Board authorized bridge loans with warrants.
The Notes bear interest of 6% and becomes due in 6 months or pro rata as funds
from a planned equity financing are received. The Company issued 230,000
three-year warrants with the notes exercisable at $0.75 per share. The warrants
contain a cashless exercise provision. The relative fair value of the warrants
was not material. On December 31, 2009, two of the note holders converted
$180,000 of notes payable and accrued interest to Series A
convertible preferred stock. As of December 31, 2009, the Company owed $50,000
to one related party note holder stemming from the December 2008 borrowings.
This note was extended in December 2009 for an additional year and made
convertible at $0.035 per share. The modification of this debt
instrument was substantial and therefore, under GAAP, the debt was deemed to
have been extinguished and replaced with new convertible debt. The
conversion feature was the only consideration given to the note holder for the
maturity date extension. As the conversion features exercise price
was equal to a contemporaneous cash sales price of common stock by the Company,
it did not have any intrinsic value.

of $0.30 (based on the recent selling price of the Company’s common stock in a
Private Placement), volatility of 216.52% (based on recent historical
volatility), expected term of 5 years, and a risk free interest rate of 1.44%.
The relative fair value of warrants, which is considered the debt discount, was

of the principle and $290,000 of accrued interest and note fees to
Series A preferred stock. In addition $300,000 from GFT Holdings note was sold

granted under the Plan shall expire no later than 10 years after the date of
grant, except for ISOs granted to 10% shareholders, which must expire not later
than five years from grant. The option price may be paid in United States
dollars by check or other acceptable instrument including wire transfer or, at
the discretion of the Board or the Committee, by delivery of our common stock
having fair market value equal as of the date of exercise to the cash exercise
price or a combination thereof.
Our Board
or the Committee may from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or discontinue the
Plan with respect to any shares as to which awards of stock rights have not been
granted. However, no rights granted with respect to any awards under the Plan
before the amendment or alteration shall not be impaired by any such amendment,
except with the written consent of the grantee.
Under the
terms of the Plan, our Board or the Committee may also grant awards, which will
be subject to vesting under certain conditions. In the absence of a
determination by the Board or Committee, options shall vest and be exercisable
at the end of one, two and three years, except for ISOs, which are subject to a
$100,000 per calendar year limit on becoming first exercisable. The vesting may
be time-based or based upon meeting performance standards, or both. Recipients
of restricted stock awards will realize ordinary income at the time of vesting
equal to the fair market value of the shares. We will realize a corresponding
compensation deduction. Upon the exercise of stock options other than ISOs, the
holder will have a basis in the shares acquired equal to any amount paid on
exercise plus the amount of any ordinary income recognized by the holder. For
ISOs, which meet certain requirements, the exercise is not taxable upon sale of
the shares, the holder will have a capital gain or loss equal to the sale
proceeds minus his or her basis in the shares.

of $747,248 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: stock price of $0.30 per share (based on the recent selling price
of the Company’s common stock), volatility of 234% (based on recent historical
volatility), expected term of 10 years, and a risk free interest rate of
4.19%. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company
recorded stock based compensation expense of $373,624 and $194,102
respectively. At December 31, 2009, there was approximately $179,522

and 6,000,000 options are exercisable at $0.35 per share over a 5-year period
and were issued outside of the Equity Incentive Plan with the exercisability
conditioned upon Mr. Frohman signing the Company’s Standard Stock Options
Agreement. Mr. Frohman abstained and the motion passed with the other directors
voting yes. The 11,000,000 options were valued on the grant date at $0.034 per
option or a total of $374,000 using a Black-Sholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: stock price of $0.035 per share (based on recent selling
price of the company’s common stock), volatility of 208% (based on recent
historical volatility), expected term of 5 years, and a risk free interest rate
of 2.19%. For the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company recorded stock based
compensation expense of $173,692 related to the 11 million option grant. At
December 31, 2009 there was approximately $200,308 of unrecognized compensation
expense to non-vested option-based compensation granted on December 11,
2009.
On
July 11, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an
employee as the Company’s Chief Strategic Officer. Pursuant to the employment
agreement, the Company granted 100,000 five-year non-qualified stock options
which are exercisable at $0.50 per share, of which 25,000 of these options
vested after three months and the remaining options will vest in equal quarterly
increments over a three-year period, subject to continued employment on the
applicable vesting date. These options were valued on the grant date at $0.29
per option or a total of $29,302 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following assumptions: stock price of $0.30 per share (based on the recent
selling price of the Company’s common stock), volatility of 234% (based on
recent historical volatility), expected term of four years, and a risk free
interest rate of 3.27%. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $18,314 and $10,988
respectively. At December 31, 2009, the employee was no longer with the Company
and therefore, the unvested options were forfeited.

NOTE
9 – CONCENTRATIONS
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Financial
Instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Management
believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are not
material. The Company places its cash with high credit quality
financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank
deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At
December 31, 2009 the Company had $1,002,632 which exceeded the federally
insured limits.
Concentration of
Revenues
During
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no individual customer accounted for
10% of the consolidated revenues; however, one customer did represent 25% of a
subsidiary's revenue.
Concentration of Accounts
Receivable
As of
December 31, 2009 one client accounted for more than 16% of the total accounts
receivable. During 2008, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of
accounts receivable.

12 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company has net operating losses carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes
of approximately $6.4 million at December 31, 2009, the unused portion of
which, if any, expires in the year ending December 31, 2029. The Company
accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 (formerly “SFAS 109”). ASC
740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the
expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 also requires the
establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization
of deferred tax assets. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a
limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carry forwards
after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership) and
the Company is subject to such limitation with respect to the pre-acquisition
losses of Options and may be subject to additional limitations in the event of
additional owner shifts.
ASC 740
also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return and requires that the Company determine
whether the benefits of the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of
being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position
(formerly FIN 48). ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and
disclosure. Based on its evaluation, the Company has determined that there were
no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the accompanying
financial statements. The evaluation was performed for the tax years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, the tax years which remain subject to
examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2009.
The
Company classifies interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income
taxes in the statements of operations as general and administrative
expenses. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or
penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The
Company currently has provided for a full valuation allowance against the net
deferred tax assets. Based on the available objective evidence, management does
not believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be
realizable in the future. An adjustment to the valuation allowance would benefit
net income in the period in which such determination is made if the Company
determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the
foreseeable future.
The
components of the Company's income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company fully reserved the net deferred tax
asset due to the substantial uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets in
future periods. In 2009, the Company re-evaluated its 2008 taxable income
calculation and determined its net operating loss carry forwards from 2008 to be
approximately $1.2 million less than previously determined, reduced other net
deferred tax assets by approximately $80,000, and reduced its deferred tax
liabilities to zero. As a result, the Company reduced in aggregate its 2008 net
deferred tax assets and the offsetting valuation allowance by approximately
$206,000. Absent this adjustment, the Company’s deferred tax assets
and valuation allowance at December 31, 2009 would have been
$2,702,000. Following this adjustment, the valuation allowance was
increased in 2009 by approximately $1,335,000. The 2009 adjustment to
the Company’s 2008 net deferred tax assets and the offsetting valuation
allowance had no effect on the Company’s financial position or net income (loss)
after taxes as of and for the year ending December 31, 2008.
