Item 1. Business

 

HISTORY

The Company, DeFi Global, Inc. (formerly Lion Capital Holdings, Inc.) (the Company or DeFi) is a public company whose common stock trades on the over the counter Bulletin Board Market under the symbol, LCHL.OB.

DeFi was originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1999, under the name, Telecomm.com, Inc and later changed its name to Lion Capital Holdings, Inc. In February of 2010, the Company changed its name to DeFi Global, Inc. after a share-for-share exchange to acquire DeFi Mobile, Ltd in October 2009.

DeFi has two subsidiaries, Capital Cable and Wire, Inc., dba Austin Cable and Wire, which was incorporated in 1997 as a Texas corporation, and, and DeFi Mobile, Ltd. , which was acquired on October, 2009.  DeFi Mobile, Inc. in turn has a wholly owned operating subsidiary, Defi Mobile UK.

Austin Cable was acquired by DeFi in 1999 through the sale of a controlling block of its stock, thus making Austin Cable a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCHL.  Austin Cable is in the business of assembling copper and fiber optic specialty cables for distribution in the United States, and conducts limited business operations.  With the acquisition of DeFi as discussed below, management has decided to deemphasize and wind down and close the Austin Cable business.

On March 27, 2009, DeFi entered into an irrevocable letter of intent to acquire 100% of DeFi Mobile Ltd, a privately held telecommunications company.  On October 21, 2009, DeFi entered into and concurrently consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with DeFi Mobile, Ltd. (“Mobile’), and certain shareholders of Mobile.  Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) as consummated, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Mobile in exchange for the private issuance of 63,021,265 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.

As part of the stock for stock transaction, the Company also issued a total of 7,168,685 warrants to acquire its common stock to 53 Mobile shareholders and note holders, in exchange for their cancellation of existing Mobile warrants.  The Company’s warrants have a 2-year term, and are exercisable at $0.10 per share.

The common shares issued to the Mobile shareholders and Note Holders are subject to a 12-month lock-up agreement, (the “Lock-Up”) beginning October 8, 2009.   Under the Lock-Up, the recipients of the Company’s shares may not sell their shares without the consent of the Company.  Under the terms of the stock for stock exchange, the Mobile shareholders are also given a right to participated in any future financings of theCompany to maintain their pro rata ownership interests under certain circumstances for a 12-month period.

Mobile was founded as a Delaware corporation on November 22, 2006, under the name “Telemoto Ltd.”  The corporation changed its name to “DeFi Mobile, Ltd.” on October 24, 2007.  Since inception, Mobile has been an application service provider and developer of mobile software applications for businesses, and has operated as a private company.  

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

DeFi’s principle business at this date is focused on the development, operation and expansion of the business acquired with the acquisition of Mobile.

DeFi, through its Mobile Subsidary, has architected, built and deployed, a Large IP Network infrastructure that can host, support and deliver Applications and Services including voice, video, gaming, multi-media, and digital content over the internet to hot spots, desktop computers and all manner of handheld devices. Called the “DeFi Global Network”, this Network can provide global mobile broadband service at speed comparable to fixed wire broadband for multiple mobile Internet access devices, or IADs.

Wi-Fi

Connections to the Company’s Network rely on Wi-Fi.  Wi-Fi is an unlicensed spread of radio frequency that was first made available in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission in 1985. Wi-Fi uses both single carrier direct-sequence spread spectrum radio technology (part of the larger family of spread spectrum systems) and multi-carrier OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) radio based technology, to permit the interoperability of wireless local area Network products, including IADs.

The capabilities and unique characteristics of Wi-Fi give DeFi the power to support through its Network, a very large array of innovative media-rich products and services.

The DeFi Network

The DeFi Network is made up of a leased data center facility in London, UK, where the company owns and operates networking infrastructure utilizing DeFi’s own proprietary software, codes and protocols, as well as licensed software, to operate the Network privately over an Internet Protocol (IP) architecture.  At the user end or endpoint of the network, DeFi has entered into license arrangements with various providers around the world, providing end to end services to and from various hotspot locations around the World.

DeFi leases its secured data center facility in located in central London, England.  The facility also provides power, cross connections with other carriers, and maintenance and support functions for the Network hardware, software and its operation.  

DeFi licenses key software from various mobile software developers, for integration with its proprietary software and protocols, for use to create authentication to the devices and operate its Network.

DeFi licenses core network software from leaders in the industry, in order to provide network performance and quality of service to devices and wireless hotspots around the world.

Operational Status of the DeFi Global Network

To date, the DeFi Network has architected and built its core service platform. It has operated the Network in the beta testing stage, providing Voice communications between end users around the world, over the DeFi Global Network.  This beta testing is currently providing real time services for free to end users who are testing the service, providing feedback and helping to document and complete the build out the FAQ’s for the Network. As a result, to date DeFi revenues have been nominal, but DeFi hopes to shortly roll out commercial service on a full pay basis.

The Network is designed to be scalable for new and additional volume, by adding more software licenses and additional core network infrastructure.   The Network currently has a capacity to serve approximately 200,000 simultaneous users. Its design should permit it to scale in to the multi millions of simultaneous users. The Network does not currently operate at a profit, and DeFi estimates that it will need to obtain in the range of from 100,000 to 150,000 active paying service users in order to match operating expenses and achieve positive cash flow.

DeFi’s Business Plan

DeFi’s business plan is to leverage the company’s innovative, carrier-grade IP Network which has the capability to provide media rich content applications. Delivering these services to end users through partnerships and licensing, management believes will provide immediate revenue to the Company, and the potential for solid long-term revenue growth.  

DeFi plans to continue to build, and maintain its global carrier-grade Network to serve the needs of a wide variety of services, applications, products and solutions for multiple customers.  Management believes the DeFi Global Network has the potential to empower customers and partners of DeFi to evolve beyond the limitations of older technologies and approaches to networking that currently exists in the form of traditional Telecoms, cellular networks, including 3G, 3.5G, EDGE and GPRS communications protocols.

The DeFi Global Network is designed to be device agnostic, offering support for multiple Internet access devices, or IADs, including soft-phones, mobile smart-phones, gaming devices, hand-held enterprise devices and similar IADs, some of which have not been invented yet.  DeFi has partnerships with wireless internet services providers (WISP’s) that together provide users access to millions of Hotspot locations around the world.  Each unique hotspot permits DeFi customers’ and partners’ IADs to auto-associate using DeFi’s proprietary software, and to connect immediately and directly to the DeFi Global Network.  Management believes the potential capabilities and unique characteristics of its Network give DeFi the opportunity to support a virtually unlimited array of innovative media-rich products and services.  

Effective August 29, 2009 DeFi and Fun Finders, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Fun”) entered into an agreement , whereby DeFi agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Fun from the Shareholders, in exchange for 12,000,000 restricted shares of DeFi Common Stock to be privately issued to the Shareholders of Fun. The Company will endeavor to complete this transaction on or before June 30, 2010, but there can be no assurance that this transaction will be successfully completed, or completed within the desired time schedule.

Research and Development

During fiscal 2009 and 2008, DeFi expended $838,799 and $631,243 on research and development, respectively.   This effort was primarily directed at architecting, building and deploying the large IP infrastructure for the Network.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

DeFi may pursue patent protection for some of its technology and products depending on their patentability. DeFi currently relies on proprietary technology, trade secrets, and know-how, which are not patented. To protect our rights in these areas, DeFi requires its employees, directors, consultants, outside engineers and other advisors to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment, consulting or other contractual relationships with DeFi. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the relationship is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by the individual shall be the exclusive property of DeFi. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information.

The Company has registered the trademarks “DeFi” and “DEFi”.

Item 1A: RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

We Expect To Continue To Incur Losses and Experience Negative Cash Flow.

DeFi currently operates at a loss, and Management anticipates the combined Company will have operating losses and to record net cash outflow in the near term. Our business has not generated enough cash flow to fund the marketing and further development of our proprietary technology and our planned operations and we have relied on external sources of capital. We anticipate that establishing market share for our current services and continuing development of new services and products will require substantial additional capital and significant expenditures.

We Are Currently Dependent on External Financing.

Currently, we are completely dependent upon external financing to fund our operations. It is imperative that we receive this external financing to implement our business plan and to finance ongoing operations. New capital may not be available and adequate funds may not be sufficient for our operations, and may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to our management. Our failure to obtain adequate additional financing would require us to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of our operations and would hinder our ability to implement our business plan or continue our business.

We Received A Going Concern Opinion From Our Independent Auditors Due To Substantial Doubt As To Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused a combined accumulated deficit of approximately $9,238,264 as of December 31, 2009. In addition, we have a combined working capital deficit of approximately $5,224,453 as of December 31, 2009. We incurred net losses of $3,378,471 and $4,304,864 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Assurances cannot be given that adequate financing can be obtained to meet our capital needs. If we are unable to generate profits and unable to obtain financing to meet our working capital requirements, we would have to curtail our business sharply or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate additional debt or equity financing, and thereafter establish sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis to retain such financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur, we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

We May Not Be Able to Generate Sales or Otherwise Successfully Implement Our Business Plan, Which Could Have a Significant Negative Impact on Our Financial Condition.

Our business plan calls for development, marketing and sale of our services on our global Network and perhaps the acquisition of companies to accelerate our development. If the products and services we offer are not favorably received in the marketplace and do not generate significant sales and revenues at reasonable profit margins to us, we will not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve and maintain profitability or to continue our operations or make acquisitions.

 

 

-6-

 

 

One or More Competitors May Develop Services and/or Gain Market Acceptance Before We Do.

The global mobile broadband market is intensely competitive and is subject to rapid technological change. Our competitors include many large domestic and international companies that have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, technological, marketing, distribution and other resources, installed customer bases, and long-standing relationships with customers. If we fail to execute our strategy in a timely or effective manner, our competitors may be able to seize the marketing opportunities we have identified. Our business strategy is complex and requires that we successfully and simultaneously complete with limited resources many tasks, including, but not limited to:

(1) Complete development and commence commercial operations of our global telecommunications Network,

(2) Identify, acquire and integrate new businesses and products into our network services, and

(3) Develop, market and sell our services at prices and with profit margins which generate cash flows and profits.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute any or all elements of our strategy.

The Market May Grow More Slowly Than We Expect Or May Experience A Downturn.

Growth in demand for and acceptance of our new network service is highly uncertain. We believe that many of our potential customers may not be fully aware of the benefits of our Network, and may choose to acquire other services from our competitors. It is possible that our network services may never achieve market acceptance. If the market for our services does not grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business, financial condition, and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

The Failure to Attract and Retain Key Personnel Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

The Company realizes that new sources of talent/personnel will be needed to promote growth and foster shareholder value. Management plans to recruit additional executive managers who will focus on expanding our core competencies, once the Company has sufficient capital resources to do so. Currently we depend to a significant extent upon the continuing services and contributions of our senior management team and other key personnel, including particularly Jeff Rice, our recently appointed President and Chief Executive Officer.  Although we have contracts with our Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Rice, and our President, Dave Thomas, we do not have key man life insurance on senior management. Our business could suffer if we were unable to retain our current senior management, or unable to attract and retain additional highly skilled personnel.

We Cannot Assure That Our Measures To Protect Our Proprietary Technology And Other Intellectual Property Rights Are Adequate.

The success of the DeFi Global Network depends to a significant degree on our proprietary technology and other intellectual property. Currently, we rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We do not have any patents. These measures, however, afford only limited protection and may not prevent third parties from misappropriating our technology or other intellectual property. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, which makes the misappropriation of our technology and other intellectual property more likely. If we fail to successfully enforce or defend our intellectual property rights or if we fail to detect misappropriation of our proprietary rights, our ability to compete effectively could be seriously impaired. Any potential future patent registration and trademark applications may not be allowed, and our competitors may challenge the validity or scope of any future patent or trademark registration applications. In addition, we may face challenges to litigation over the validity or enforceability of our proprietary rights.  It may become necessary to enforce and protect our rights, to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights and the rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation would be expensive and time consuming, would divert our management and key personnel from business operations and would likely harm our business and operating results.

 

 

-7-

 

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights. Any claims made against us regarding violation of patents or other intellectual property rights could be expensive and time consuming to resolve or defend, could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations and could require us to modify or cease marketing our services.  At this time we have received no claims of infringement from third parties, nor have we otherwise become aware of relevant patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties that might lead to disputes.

Economic Factors May Impact Customer Spending On our Services.

Consumer and commercial spending on technology services is questionable and can fluctuate with changes in economic conditions. Shifts in commercial and/or consumer spending habits or loss of disposable income due to adverse economic, political or other financial conditions could have a profound negative impact on our business.

Risks Relating to Our Organization and Our Common Stock

Our Stock Price May Be Volatile.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following among other factors:   

(1)

changes in our industry;

(2)

competitive pricing pressures;

(3)

our ability to obtain working capital financing;

(4)

additions or departures of key personnel;

(5)

limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;

(6)

sales of our common stock (particularly after expiration of the LockUp agreement executed by the former DeFi shareholders;

(7)

regulatory developments;

(8)

economic and other external factors;  

(9)

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

 

-8-

 

 

We Have Not Paid Dividends In The Past And Do Not Expect To Pay Dividend In The Foreseeable Future. Any Return On Investment May Be Limited To The Value Of Our Common Stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

There Is Currently Very Little Liquidity In Our Trading Market For Our Common Stock And We Cannot Assure Liquidity Will Develop In The Future.

To date there has been very little liquidity in our trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. Should trading of our common stock be suspended from the OTC Bulletin Board for any reason, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock might become more illiquid and our common stock price might be subject to increased volatility. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult to obtain accurate quotations, to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and to obtain additional capital.

Our Common Stock Will Be Deemed A “Penny Stock,” Which Will Make it More Difficult For Our Investors To Sell Their Shares.

Our common stock will be deemed, at least initially, subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “34 Act”). The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange and which trade at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules. The number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such penny stocks is also limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

Because A Significant Portion Of Our Stock Ownership is Concentrated in A Small Number of Stockholder Officers and Directors, they Can Exert Significant Control Over Our Business and Affairs.

Our Chief Executive officer, Jeff Rice, and our former Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman of the Board, Tim Page, each own or control a significant percentage of our common stock. Immediately following the Share Exchange, Jeff Rice may be deemed to own 4.93% of our outstanding shares, and Tim Page and his family may be deemed to own 25.51% of our outstanding shares. Our directors and executive officers and former executive officers as a group may be deemed beneficially to own an aggregate of approximately 37,828,023 shares of our common stock, or approximately 33.07% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These figures do not reflect any increase in beneficial ownership that such persons may experience in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any options or warrants they may in the future be granted.  The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence over and control all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

(1)

to elect or defeat the election of our directors;

(2)

to amend or prevent amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws;

(3)

to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and

(4)

to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for vote

Such persons’ stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or could prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

The facility is a class A office space leased on an annual basis. The monthly rent is $2,981.00.   However, as of the date of this filing, the Company has terminated this lease.

 

The Company currently has an operating lease for its DeFi production and office facilities located in Scottsdale, Arizona extending through June 2010. The address of DeFi’s 2,800 square foot facility is 7373 East Double Tree Ranch Rd, Suite 125, Scottsdale, Arizona. The facility is a Class A office space leased on a month-to-month term and the monthly rent is $6,261.00.  DeFi management believes we could readily find replacement space if necessary. 

 

We maintain fire and casualty insurance on our leased property in an amount deemed adequate by management.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are not subject to any pending or threatened material legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of a pending or threatened legal proceeding. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.

Item 4. Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders.

We obtained by Shareholder Written Consent, the consent of more then 50% of our outstanding capital stock, to amend our Articles of  Incorporation to change our name from Lion Capital Holdings, Inc., to DeFi Global, Inc., and to increase our authorized capital stock from 150 million shares to 250 million shares.  On January 26, 2010 we filed a definitive Schedule 14C which is incorporated herein by reference with the SEC, covering these proposed amendments, and on February 19, 2010 these amendments were implemented.  We are now applying for a new symbol for our common stock, and until it is issued our stock will trade under its old symbol.

Aside from the above, there have been no submissions of matters to our securities holders.

The warrants shown were issued in discreet transactions from time to time as compensation for services rendered by debt holders, consultants, advisors or other third parties, and do not include warrants sold in private placement transactions. The material terms of such warrants were determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations with the service providers. The warrant exercise prices approximated the market price of our common stock at or about the date of grant, and the warrant terms are 2 years from the grant date. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or combination of our outstanding common stock and similar events and certain of the warrants contain anti-dilution adjustments triggered by other corporate events, such as dividends and sales of equity below market price.

Forward-Looking Statements

THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF OUR MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE FINANCIAL DATA INCLUDED IN THIS CURRENT REPORT REFLECT OUR ACQUISITION OF DEFI MOBILE, LTD AND HAVE BEEN PREPARED AS IF OUR CURRENT CORPORATE STRUCTURE HAD BEEN IN PLACE THROUGHOUT THE RELEVANT PERIODS

A Note about Forward-Looking Statements:

This Report on Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on current management's expectations.  Statements that are not historical facts are identified as “forward-looking statements”.  The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions, particularly when used in the “future tense”, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release.  These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates, reflecting the best judgment of senior management that rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.

These uncertainties, among others, include the success of the Company in obtaining sufficient equity and debt capital on commercially reasonable terms to carry out its business plan, whether its services will find acceptance in the market place and generate significant sales and profits, the status of US and World economies, and various other factors. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report.  Except as required by law, we are not obligated to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We had a net loss of approximately $3,378,471 for the year ended December 31, 2009. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,238,264 and a working capital deficit of approximately $5,224,453 as of December 31, 2009. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Assurances cannot be given that adequate financing can be obtained to meet our capital needs. If we are unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to privately  raise additional capital from debt and/or equity sources, and to begin to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur, the accompanying financial statements will be adversely effected and we may have to curtail or cease operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We define critical accounting policies as those that are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require estimates and assumptions based on our judgment of changing market conditions and the performance of our assets and liabilities at any given time. In determining which accounting policies meet this definition, we considered our policies with respect to the valuation of our assets and liabilities and estimates and assumptions used in determining those valuations. We believe the most critical accounting issues that require the most complex and difficult judgments and that are particularly susceptible to significant change to our financial condition and results of operations include the following:

·    Revenue recognition.  See Note 2i to the Financial Statements for the Company’s treatment of revenue recognition.

·

Network end-user licenses See Note 4 to the Financial Statements for the Company’s treatment of this.

·

Capitalized software development costs:  See Note 2e to the Financial Statements for the Company’s treatment of this.


Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the revenue recognition provisions pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605.10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) (formerly

SAB No. 104), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC.  The ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize the revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.  

 

 

-13-

In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to licensing fees when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes revenue from wholesale business development relationships and the direct to consumer sales of its current product offerings.  The revenue for these services is billed to the customer one month in advance, and accounted for by the Company as a deferred liability until they are recognized as revenue the following month when the service is actually performed.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced net negative cash flow from continuing operations of approximately $681,516 and $3,518,982 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $5,224,453. We will continue to carry a deficit until such time, if ever, that we can increase our assets and reduce our significant liabilities.  While reducing the working capital deficit is our long-term goal, we do not foresee this occurring in the near future.

Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock and warrants for cash, services and loans. As we expand our operational activities, we likely continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and we will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through equity offerings and borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. Financing may not be available, and, if available, it may not be available on acceptable terms. Should we secure such financing, it could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders. The sale of debt would, among other things, adversely impact our balance sheet, increase our expenses and increase our cash flow requirements. The sale of equity would, among other things, result in dilution to our shareholders. If our cash flows from operations are significantly less than projected, then we would either need to cut back on our budgeted spending, look to outside sources for additional funding or a combination of the two. If we are unable to access sufficient funds when needed, obtain additional external funding or generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products, we could be forced to curtail or possibly cease operations.

Financial Condition and Results Of Operations as of December 31, 2009

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s total assets were $2,914,106 as compared to $2,055,727 as of December 31, 2008, or an increase of approximately 42%. This increase is primarily due to the Company’s investment in capitalized software for the FunFinder business.  As of December 31, 2009, total liabilities increased 48% to approximately $5,630,005 as compared to approximately $3,925,177 as of December 31, 2008. Significant items include increases in our accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

At December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $5,224,453. We will continue to carry a deficit until such time, if ever, that we can increase our assets and reduce our significant liabilities which are currently composed of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. While reducing the working capital deficit is our long-term goal, we do not foresee this occurring in the near future, as we continue to be focused on ongoing development efforts, new development opportunities, customer acquisition and corporate expansion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB ASC 860-10 (Prior authoritative literature: issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”), which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), clarifies and amends the de-recognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, amends and clarifies the unit of account eligible for sale accounting and requires that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-65 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”) which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This standard also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is therefore required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. Previously, the standard required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect.

 


-14-


In September 2009, the FASB amended the ASC as summarized in Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, and ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. As summarized in ASU 2009-14, ASC Topic 985 has been amended to remove from the scope of industry specific revenue accounting guidance for software and software related transactions, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. As summarized in ASU 2009-13, ASC Topic 605 has been amended (1) to provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) to require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price; and (3) to eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The accounting changes summarized in ASU 2009-14 and ASU 2009-13 are both effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Adoption may either be on a prospective basis or by retrospective application. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity will apply the amendments under this Subtopic retrospectively from the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year.  The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company adopted this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2009.  

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 provides new disclosure requirements and clarification for existing disclosures requirements. More specifically, this update will require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. We do expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure requirements.  ASU 2010-09 requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.  ASU 2010-09 also amends the definition of an SEC filer to include any entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with either the SEC or, with respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  This update also removed the definition of public entity.  Further, the scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only.  The amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010.  We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

DeFi Global, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DeFi Global, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of DeFi Global, Inc.  at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that DeFi Global, Inc.  will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, DeFi Global, Inc.  has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and is dependent of financing to continue operations. These issues raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 14. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

December 31, 2009 and 2008



NOTE 1 -  

NATURE OF ORGANIZATION


DeFi Global, Inc. (formerly Lion Capital Holdings, Inc.) (“the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1999.  On February 16, 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Lion Capital Holdings, Inc. to DeFi Global, Inc., and increase the authorized shares to 250,000,000.  This amendment was filed on February 19, 2010.


Prior to 2001, Lion Capital Holdings, Inc. (“Lion Capital”) was engaged in the design and integration of systems for data and Lion Capital in Mexico for customers throughout the United States and Mexico.  Lion Capital was also engaged in (a) the business of manufacturing copper and fiber optic specialty custom cabling in Mexico for distribution in the United States and Mexico, and (b) as a U.S. cable assembly house.  In September 2001, Lion Capital abandoned its ownership of this Mexican subsidiary and in 2002 began winding down its other operation as a cable assembly house.  In mid-2003, Lion Capital changed its business focus from a cable assembly house to assisting small private companies in becoming publicly held.  


DeFi Mobile Ltd. (“DeFi”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as Telemoto, Ltd., on November 22, 2006.  On October 24, 2007, DeFi changed its name to DeFi Mobile, Ltd.  The Company operates as a global communications service provider, and provides the following services; application development, global telecommunications and data access around the world on a wholesale or direct-to-consumer basis.  In addition, the Company also provides enterprise and consumer solutions integrating innovative Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Standard Internet Protocol (SIP) trunk, public-switched telephone networking (PSTN) and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) technologies with a wide variety of communication devices, including mobile smartphones, standard telephony devices, personal computers (PCs), soft-phones and other Internet Access Devices (IAD).  In general, customers of the Company leverage the Company’s integrated communication technology solution for business class communication that circumvents international long-distance and roaming fees commonly charged by standard cellular and land-line dependent telecommunications companies.  The Company is capable of integrating its innovative solutions with standard telecommunications companies and is actively evaluating business development opportunities in this arena.


The Company also operates in the United Kingdom through its wholly-owned subsidiary, “DeFi Mobile (UK) Limited” (DeFi UK).  DeFi UK was originally registered to the Registrar of Companies of England and Wales on March 12, 2008 under the name “Shelfco (no. 3532) Limited”, and officially changed its name to DeFi Mobile (UK) Limited on June 27, 2008.

NOTE 1 -   NATURE OF ORGANIZATION (Continued)


On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Agreement”) with DeFi to acquire 100% of the ownership interests in DeFi. On the closing date, the Company issued 24,224,411 shares of its common stock, in exchange for 100% of DeFi.  The Share Agreement also called for the issuance of 38,799,854 additional shares to the existing debt holders of DeFi to convert their respective notes payable and accrued interest.  As part of the Share Agreement, the Company also issued a total of 7,168,685 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company to various shareholders and note holders of DeFi, and in exchange, these shareholders and note holders of DeFi agreed to cancel their existing warrants.  The warrants issued by the Company to these individuals have a two-year term, and are exercisable at $0.10 per share.  


The shares issued in the Share Agreement resulted in the owners of DeFi having operating control of the Company immediately following the acquisition, as the owners of DeFi exercised control over a majority of the Company’s shares.  Therefore, this acquisition has been accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a reverse acquisition, with DeFi becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  These consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of DeFi, not Lion Capital, the legal parent company.  DeFi is treated as the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes and Lion Capital is the acquirer for legal purposes. The historical financial statements presented are those of DeFi rather than Lion Capital prior to the acquisition and consolidated post acquisition.

SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a.

Accounting Method


The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.


b.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


c.

Use of Estimates


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

d.

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Major additions and improvement are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as gain or loss on sale of equipment.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging as follows:


Network hardware

3 years

Computer equipment

3 years

Computer servers

3 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

3 years


Depreciation expense on property and equipment was $175,804 and $158,688 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


e.

Software Development Costs


The Company capitalizes software development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed (“ASC 985”) (formerly SFAS No. 86) under which certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility may be capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products.


The Company determines technological feasibility to be established upon completion of (1) product design, (2) detail program design, (3) consistency between product and program design and (4) review of detail program design to ensure that high risk development issues have been resolved. Development costs for these products are amortized over the greater of the ratio that current gross revenues for the product bear to the total current and anticipated gross revenues and the straight-line method, not exceeding three years. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $944,777 and $580,068 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  


Amortization expense related to these costs was $287,137 and $127,176 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company has not recorded any impairments on the capitalized software development costs as of December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Concentrations


Cash


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents at well known quality financial institutions.  Cash and cash equivalents at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any cash and cash equivalents in excess of this amount.


Accounts Receivable


The Company sells its products throughout the United States.  The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectability and provides for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0-, respectively, due to the current nature of the Company’s accounts receivable balances.


g.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company has adopted ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.  


The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 for the cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.  The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 Revenue Recognition


The Company applies the revenue recognition provisions pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605.10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) (formerly

SAB No. 104), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC.  The ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize the revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.  In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to licensing fees when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.


The Company’s revenue is derived from several different sources, software development, rental revenues and software licensing and maintenance.  


The software development revenues are based on a development agreement and application design specification between the Company and the customer.  For these services, the Company will usually require an upfront and milestone payment as the development of the application occurs.  Revenue is then recognized on the percentage-of-completion method whereby a portion of the revenue is recorded in the portion that costs have been incurred to date.


The rental revenues are related to a large contract that the Company has with a cruise line company (Cruise Line) whereby the Company provides the Cruise Line with a device that they in-turn rent to their customers on board the ship, giving the customers access to our development applications.  Revenue for these services is recognized at the time that the device has been delivered to the Cruise Line customer.   

 

The software licensing and maintenance revenues are derived from licensing the software to various businesses and other end users and the related maintenance of the software.  The revenue for these services is billed to the customer in advance, and accounted for by the Company as a deferred liability until they are recognized as revenue when the service is actually performed.

i.

Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) (formerly SFAS No. 109).  Under this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets.  


ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with and measurement standards established by ASC 740. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  The Company also estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change significantly within the next twelve months.  


The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period.  Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.


Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset.  Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.


There are no tax positions included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2009 and 2008 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

i.

Income Taxes


As the Company has significant net operating loss carry forwards, even if certain of the Company’s tax positions were disallowed, it is not foreseen that the Company would have to pay any taxes in the near future.  Consequently, the Company does not calculate the impact of interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed.


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Arizona jurisdictions.  Tax years 2008 to current remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.


For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred a net loss and, therefore, had no tax liability.   The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forwards has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carryforward is approximately $9,000,000 at December 31, 2009, and will expire in the years 2028 through 2029.  


The deferred tax asset and the valuation account is as follows at December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Basic and Fully Diluted Loss Per Share


In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”) (formerly SFAS No. 128), the computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements.  


The computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements, plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. Common stock equivalents of the following: (1) warrants of 7,168,685, (2) options of 369,500, and (3) debt convertible into 100,000 shares, have not been included because they are anti-dilutive.

l.   Newly Adopted Pronouncements


In June 2009, the FASB ASC 860-10 (Prior authoritative literature: issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”), which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), clarifies and amends the de-recognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, amends and clarifies the unit of account eligible for sale accounting and requires that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect.

l.   Newly Adopted Pronouncements (Continued)


In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-65 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”) which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This standard also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is therefore required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. Previously, the standard required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect.


In September 2009, the FASB amended the ASC as summarized in Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, and ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. As summarized in ASU 2009-14, ASC Topic 985 has been amended to remove from the scope of industry specific revenue accounting guidance for software and software related transactions, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. As summarized in ASU 2009-13, ASC Topic 605 has been amended (1) to provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) to require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price; and (3) to eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The accounting changes summarized in ASU 2009-14 and ASU 2009-13 are both effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Adoption may either be on a prospective basis or by retrospective application. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


l.   Newly Adopted Pronouncements (Continued)


This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity will apply the amendments under this Subtopic retrospectively from the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year.  The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company adopted this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2009.  


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 provides new disclosure requirements and clarification for existing disclosures requirements. More specifically, this update will require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. We do expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

STOCK TRANSACTIONS


On October 21, 2009, as previously explained (see Note 1), the Company entered into a Share Agreement with DeFi to acquire 100% of the ownership interests in DeFi. On the closing date, the Company issued 24,224,411 shares of its common stock, in exchange for 100% of Defi.  These shares issued in the acquisition have been shown as a retroactive adjustment to the outstanding shares just prior to the acquisition, pursuant to reverse acquisition accounting. The Share Agreement also called for the issuance of 38,799,854 additional shares to existing debt holders of DeFi to convert their respective notes payable and accrued interest totaling $3,952,529 (see Note 10).    


The number of shares presents on the statement of stockholders deficit (49,739,020), represent the shares outstanding of Lion Capital immediately preceding the acquisition of DeFi.  As such per reverse merger accounting, these shares are presented as the shares issued during the acquisition.

All warrants are convertible at the option of the warrant holder and are exercisable in cash where the holder receives shares in exchange for cash payment and there are no additional special redemption features. The Company estimates the fair value of each warrant at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company determines the following significant assumptions at the time of grant in order to calculate the value of the warrant based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model: dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected lives of the warrant. Management believes the best input assumptions available were used to value the warrants and that the resulting warrant values are reasonable. The Company’s assumptions used are as follows:



Options


During 2007 and 2008, the Company issued options to various employees and consultants of the Company. These options have terms of ten years (with options expiring beginning in 2017) and are exercisable at $0.29 per share and vest over a period of four years.

NOTE 14 - GOING CONCERN


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, as of December 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,234,731, significant negative working capital, and is in default on various notes payable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable.  Successful completion of the Company's development program and its transition to the attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon the Company achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.  In addition, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its plans to develop and sell its products.  Management plans to issue additional debt equity to fund the release of new products in 2010 and to continue to generate cash flow from operations. Additionally, the Company believes that the acquisition of DeFi will provide additional resources to fund the ongoing operations (see Note 1).  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

It is management's responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Following this review and evaluation, management collectively determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are not currently effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer, our chief operations officer, and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure This is caused  by the fact that we do not have sufficient capital resources at this point to hire additional needed accounting staff to assist us with our internal bookkeeping and controls.  Management is endeavoring to raise additional capital through the private placement of equity, debt, or convertible debt, and if successful, some portion of the proceeds will be utilized to retain additional accounting staff to correct this deficiency.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework .

Based upon management’s assessment using the criteria contained in COSO, and for the reasons discussed below, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective This is caused  by the fact that we do not have sufficient capital resources at this point to hire additional needed accounting staff to assist us with our internal bookkeeping and controls.  Management is endeavoring to raise additional capital through the private placement of equity, debt, or convertible debt, and if successful, some portion of the proceeds will be utilized to retain additional accounting staff to correct this deficiency.

This Annual 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 registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our officers and directors, and persons who own more that ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with any exchange on which the Company's securities are traded. Officers, directors and persons owning more than ten percent of such securities are required by Commission regulation to file with the Commission and furnish the Company with copies of all reports required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

The Company accrued or paid compensation to the executive officers as a group for services rendered to the Company in all capacities during the 2009 and 2008 fiscal years as shown in the following table. No cash bonuses were paid to such persons for services rendered in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008.

Overview

The following is a discussion of our program for compensating our named executive officers and directors. Currently, we do not have a compensation committee, and as such,

our board of directors is responsible for determining the compensation of our named executive officers.

Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy

The primary goals of our policy of executive compensation are to attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives possible, to assure that our executives are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with our strategy and competitive practice and to align executives compensation with the achievement of our short- and long-term business objectives.

The board of directors considers a variety of factors in determining compensation of executives, including their particular background and circumstances, such as their training and prior relevant work experience, their success in attracting and retaining savvy and technically proficient managers and employees, increasing our revenues, broadening our product line offerings, managing our costs and otherwise helping to lead our Company through a period of rapid growth.

In the near future, we expect that our board of directors will form a compensation committee charged with the oversight of executive compensation plans, policies and programs of our Company and with the full authority to determine and approve the compensation of our chief executive officer and make recommendations with respect to the compensation of our other executive officers. We expect that our compensation committee will continue to follow the general approach to executive compensation that we have followed to date, rewarding superior individual and company performance with commensurate cash compensation.

Elements of Compensation

Our compensation program for the named executive officers consists primarily of base salary. There is no retirement plan, long-term incentive plan or other such plans.  The Company currently has limited revenue. As such we have not yet obtained a consistent revenue stream with which to fund employee salaries and bonus plans. The base salary we provide is intended to equitably compensate the named executive officers based upon their level of responsibility, complexity and importance of role, leadership and growth potential, and experience.

Base Salary

Our named executive officers receive base salaries commensurate with their roles and responsibilities. Base salaries and subsequent adjustments, if any, are reviewed and approved by our board of directors annually, based on an informal review of relevant market data and each executive’s performance for the prior year, as well as each executive’s experience, expertise and position. The base salaries paid to our named executive officers in 2009 are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

Employment Agreements

On October 7, 2009, our Company entered into a consulting Agreement with Ticino Consulting Group, providing for the rendering of consulting services by it through its principle employee, Tim Page, our former CEO and a current director and Chairman of the Board of the Company, over a 36 month term. The Agreement provides for payment for such consulting services rendered to DeFi Mobile Ltd at the rate of $15,000 per month (plus the costs of certain employee benefits for Mr. Page).

Severance and Change in Control Benefits.

In November 2007, Global, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into employment agreements with Jeff Rice and Dave Thomas.  The employment agreements provide for Mr. Rice to be employed as Chairman and CEO of DeFi and for Mr. Thomas to be employed President and Chief Architect of DeFi and both report to the DeFi Board of directors. The employment agreements provide for annual cash compensation $240,000 to each of Mr. Rice and Mr. Thomas.  The employment agreement provides for severance payments to the executives of their salary for a period of 12 months following a termination for any reason other than for cause. The agreements have no term but provide that the executives are employed at will. The Executives and the Company have agreed that the Company shall assume the employment agreements.

The change in control provisions in the employment agreements provide for the acceleration of vesting of 3,000,000 shares of stock each purchased by the executives. If the change and control occurs after termination of the executive then 50% of such shares shall vest. If the change in control occurs before the termination of the executive and the executive is terminated within twelve months of the change in control then all of such shares shall vest.  All shares of common stock held by the executives have been exchanged in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement.  The restricted stock vests monthly at rate of approximately 2.1% and as of the date hereof 1,750,000 have vested. The restricted stock is fully vested in June of 2010 for both of the executives.  Upon completion of the Share Exchange, DeFi mobile will assign its rights in the Restricted Stock purchase agreements with the executives to Lion.

In the event the executive officer timely elects continued coverage of a health, dental or vision plan sponsored by DeFi under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or COBRA, DeFi will pay the full amount of the executive officer’s COBRA premiums, including coverage for the executive officer’s eligible dependants, for a period equal to the earlier of (a) 12 months, (b)  the expiration of continued coverage under COBRA, or (c) the effective date of the executive officer’s coverage by a substantially equivalent health insurance coverage insurance plan of a subsequent employer. Under the terms of the employment agreements, if the payments to any executive officer result in the imposition of any excise taxes, DeFi is not required to make an additional payment to the executive officer to cover such taxes.

As of April 15, 2010, we were not a party to any other employment agreement with any Officer, Director or principle shareholder, except as described above.

The following table sets forth the compensation paid to our chief executive officer for each of our last two completed fiscal years. No other officer received compensation greater than $100,000 for either fiscal year.

Summary Compensation Table  

[defi05181010k002.gif]

 

The values shown in the Salary column were amounts the Company accrued for 2009. However based on working capital limitations throughout 2009, the Company actually paid Mr. Rice $101,200 and Mr. Thomas $146.983. The values shown in the Stock Awards column represent the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2009 fiscal year for the fair value of stock or options granted in 2009 in accordance with ASC 250 (formerly SFAS 123 (R)). Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The amount recognized for these awards was calculated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, and reflect grants of stock and stock options.

We did not have a compensation committee during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2009, none of our officers and employees participated in deliberations of our board of directors concerning executive compensation. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors of any entities whose directors or officers serve on our board of directors.
