Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for The Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
 
 
Note 1—Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Quepasa Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in June 1997. The Company operates the world’s fastest growing Latino social network, with content provided by the user community.  It expects to generate revenue from display advertising, the DSM contest platform, website development, royalty revenue and revenue from games introduced to the site.

The Quepasa.com community provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing, and other topics of interest to users.  We offer online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations on our website.  We work with our advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement on the website.  The Quepasa.com website is operated and managed by the Company’s wholly owned Mexico-based subsidiary, Quepasa.com de Mexico.  The Company acquired XtFt Games S/S Ltda (“XtFt”), on March 2, 2011. The Company’s wholly owned Brazilian based subsidiary will manage game development and creation of intellectual properties.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required to be included in a complete set of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on February 7, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), and XtFt Games S/S Ltda (from March 2, 2011).  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.  $100,178 for  hosting, server storage, bandwidth and software licenses was reclassified from general and administrative expense to product development and content expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Most significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of the discount on notes payable, valuation of equity instruments granted for services and valuation of re-pricing of warrants.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.  The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions it invests with.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.  Such amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits at March 31, 2011 approximated $12.1 million.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows – Supplemental Disclosure
 
Non-Monetary transactions:
On March 2, 2011, the following assets and liabilities of XtFt Games S/S Ltda were acquired:
 
Goodwill
  $ 3,780,618  
Property and equipment
    119,760  
Other assets
    191,887  
    Total assets acquired
    4,092,265  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
    (383,014 )
    Total liabilities assumed
    (383,014 )
Issuance of common stock, 348,723 shares
    2,730,501  
Contingent issuance of common stock for acquisition
    978,750  

Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s purchase price of XtFt Games S/S Ltda over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill annually and whenever events or circumstance make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. Several factors are used to evaluate goodwill, including management’s plans for future operations and recent operating results. In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill is impaired, the goodwill carrying value will be reduced to its implied fair value through a charge to operating expenses.
 
Other Assets
 
Other assets primarily consist of customer contracts, debt issue costs and deposits.  Customer contracts recorded at fair value from the acquisition of XtFt Games S/S Ltda are amortized using straight-line method over the life of the individual contracts.  Debt issue costs, principally loan origination and related fees, are deferred and amortized over the life of the respective debt using the straight-line method.
 
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, net of discount, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted accounting guidance for financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires 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 which 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.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.  Diluted net loss per share is determined in the same manner as basic net loss per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.  Since the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect of including them is anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2011 which may dilute future earnings per share:

Stock options
8,021,215
Warrants
4,300,000
Convertible preferred stock
420,875
Totals
12,742,090

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
 
During the first three months of 2011, one customer comprised 93% of total revenues, see Note 11. During the first three months of 2010, one customer comprised 78% of total revenues.
 
One customer comprised 96% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011, see Note 11. One customer comprised 90% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements,” and ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations.”

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we signed two contracts with Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AHMSA”), which owns MATT Inc., which qualify as Multiple-Element Arrangements. The first was a $3.5 million contract to develop a website and a series of environmental campaigns using our DSM Technology, with multiple delivery dates from May 2010 through February 2011.  The second was a $3.0 million contract to develop a website and a legislative campaign using our DSM Technology, with multiple delivery dates from June through December 2010.  The revenue from these contracts is being allocated between DSM and Website Development as separate units of accounting based on their relative selling price.  The selling price for DSM was determined using the ad impressions and click through rate that other advertising would require to generate similar engagements, since the DSM is a relatively new concept we developed. The selling price for Website Development was determined using the projected hours and prevailing rates for website development plus the cost of hardware, third party vendors and premium for use of our development resources.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we performed transactions with several partners that qualify as Principal Agent Considerations. We recognize revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities pursuant to revenue sharing agreements with advertising networks for Display Advertising and with other partners for Royalties on product sales.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our revenue was generated from four principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of DSM campaigns, website development services, and display advertising on our website and royalty revenue.

DSM Revenues: We recognize DSM revenues over the period of the contest or as the service is provided.  Approximately 92% and 76% of our revenue came from DSM campaigns during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Website Development Revenue: We recognize website development revenues as the service is provided.  Approximately 3% and 0% of our revenue came from website development during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Display Advertising Revenue: Display advertising revenue is generated when an advertiser purchases a banner placement within our quepasa.com website.  We recognize revenue related to display advertisements upon delivery.  Consistent with GAAP, we recognize advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis.  Approximately 3% and 23% of our revenue came from display advertising during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Royalty Revenue: Royalty revenue is generated as a percentage of product sales from certain partnership arrangements. We recognize royalty revenues on a net basis, as reported to us by third parties.  Approximately 1% and 0% of our revenue came from royalties during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Game Revenue: Game revenue will be generated as users become paying players and revenue will be recognized as players purchase game currency.  No significant games revenue was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 2—Business Acquisition

On March 2, 2011, we completed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XtFt Games S/S Ltda (“XtFt”), the owner of substantially all of the assets and business of TechFront Desenvolvimento de Software S/S Ltda, a Brazilian company (“TechFront”). The Company acquired XtFt to obtain its game development expertise and existing and future intellectual properties.

We acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of XtFt.  The shares issued to XtFt’s owners were calculated contractually based on $3,700,000 of our common stock (348,723 shares) at $10.61 per share which was based on the average closing price per share for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing the Agreement. The acquisition date value of the shares issued of $2,730,501 was calculated using the fair market value of the 348,723 shares, at $7.83, the quoted trading price per share at the acquisition date.  We paid a $300,000 brokerage fee and approximately $23,000 of other costs directly attributable to the acquisition which were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  XtFt may receive a potential earnout fee of 250,000 shares of our common stock based on XtFt achieving specific performance milestones.  An additional cost of acquisition of $978,750 for the contingent earn out provision as calculated using the fair market value of the probable shares to be granted based on the terms of the Agreement at a price per share valued at the date of acquisition.

In connection with the Agreement, on February 1, 2011, we entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with TechFront and agreed to lend up to $500,000.  Advances under the Credit Agreement may be used to pay off certain Techfront loans specified in the Agreement.  The secured revolving line of credit shall become due and payable on February 1, 2017.  The Credit Agreement is secured by certain U.S. and Brazilian Trademarks of TechFront.  Prior to the acquisition date, $500,000 was advanced to TechFront under the Credit Agreement.  The collectability of this amount was deemed by management to be doubtful immediately upon the date of the first advance and therefore in substance to be additional cost of acquisition.

Note 3—Notes Receivable

On March 27, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with BRC Group, LLC (“BRC”) for a maximum amount of $600,000. A dispute arose and on April 6, 2009, BRC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.  We filed an answer with counterclaims alleging a default by BRC and to accelerate the note.
 
In February 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with BRC effective as of September 22, 2009.  Under the Settlement, BRC’s indebtedness to us was reduced from $350,000 to $250,000, evidenced by a new promissory note (the “Note”) dated September 22, 2009.  The Note contains a repayment term of 18 months commencing June 1, 2011, bearing interest at the rate of 4% per annum, such interest to begin accruing February 1, 2011.  As collateral for the Note, BRC issued us a warrant (the “Warrant”) permitting us to receive up to a 30% membership interest in BRC upon default.  If BRC defaults under the Note and the Warrant is exercised, BRC shall have 90 days to repurchase the membership interest for the balance of the remaining principal and interest to date.
 
As a result of the Settlement, we recognized a loss of $100,000 in the Other Income (Expense) line of the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the third quarter of 2009.  As a result of the change in the prior note from non-interest bearing to an interest bearing note, we wrote off a discount of $52,602 in 2009 which had been calculated using a 12.75% imputed interest rate, with an equal value assigned to Warrant Rights, included in the Other Assets line of the balance sheet.

As a result of the Settlement and the Note, both parties agreed to a mutual release of the current litigation between the parties by filing a dismissal of the litigation with prejudice.  Furthermore, both parties agreed to terminate all prior agreements between each other entered into before September 22, 2009, along with all duties rights and obligations thereunder.
 
On September 20, 2010, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Hollywood Creations, Inc. (“Hollywood”) and agreed to lend Hollywood $650,000 in three separate equal installments.  This agreement relates to an arrangement for Quepasa’s exclusive right and license to market and distribute games developed by Hollywood to Quepasa end users.  Those rights will be subject to a revenue sharing agreement. Each loan will be evidenced by a 6% Convertible Promissory Note due one year from the date of issuance (“Note”).   The Note may be converted (i) automatically if a Qualified Financing occurs on or before the Maturity Date, into preferred stock issued in such Qualified Financing; or (ii) if no Qualified Financing occurs on or before the Maturity Date, upon our election into common stock.  A Qualified Financing is a transaction (or series of transactions) in which Hollywood issues and sells shares of its preferred stock for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2 million with the principal purpose of raising capital. Under the automatic conversion provision, the Note may be converted at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the price per share paid by the other purchasers of the Preferred Stock sold in the Qualified Financing or (ii) the amount obtained by dividing (A) $5,000,000 by (B) the number of shares of Hollywood’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding (except for the Notes), and including any shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to an equity incentive or similar plan), with no fractional shares.  Under the voluntary conversion provision, the Note may be converted at a price per share equal to 80% of the most recent price paid for Common Stock sold by Hollywood in an arm’s length private transaction. If no such transactions have occurred, the voluntary conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the average of (i) the amount reasonably determined by a qualified independent appraiser who shall be selected in good faith by the Board of Directors of Hollywood and (ii) the amount reasonably determined by a qualified independent appraiser who shall be selected in good faith by Quepasa; such appraisals shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the Conversion Notice. In the year ended December 31, 2010, we lent the first $216,667 installment and Hollywood issued us a Note due on September 20, 2011.  
 
The second and third installments are subject to certain milestones being met with respect to the development, delivery and integration of certain social web games and skill-based wagering titles on our website. Once the applicable milestone is met, Hollywood may request the second and third loans of $216,667 each.  We have the right not to lend the second or third installments and also have a put arrangement permitting us to make the additional advances.

On February 11, 2011, the agreement with Hollywood was amended by permitting the Company to make a $40,000 advance toward the second installment of $216,667.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we lent the additional $40,000 and Hollywood issued us a Note due on September 20, 2011.

Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the modified-prospective transition method. Since all share-based payments made prior to January 1, 2006 were fully vested, compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 represents the compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based upon the grant-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect over the expected term at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued guidance which allows companies, in certain circumstances, to utilize a simplified method in determining the expected term of employee stock option grants when calculating the compensation expense to be recorded under GAAP for employee stock options. The simplified method can be used after December 31, 2007 only if a company’s stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term. During 2010 and 2011, we continued to use the simplified method to determine the expected option term since our stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Stock Option Plans

2006 Stock Incentive Plan

On June 27, 2007, the stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), providing for the issuance of up to 3,700,000 shares of common stock plus an additional number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares previously granted under the 1998 Stock Option Plan that either terminate, expire, or lapse after the date of the Board of Directors’ approval of the 2006 Plan.

In 2008, our Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan to authorize the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock.  In November 2009, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan to authorize the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock.  On June 4, 2010, our stockholders ratified this amendment to the 2006 Plan.   As of March 31, 2011, there were 104,249 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2006 Plan.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Plan, eligible individuals may be granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or stock grant awards.

On July 8, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized an option exchange of 5,751,937 existing stock options to a new exercise price of $1.00 per share in order to provide incentive for certain key employees.  Some of the exchanged options were granted to our named executive officers including: 2,268,466 to John Abbott, Chief Executive Officer, 1,826,971 to Michael Matte, the Chief Financial Officer and 732,500 to Louis Bardov, the Chief Technology Officer.  The financial impact of this transaction was an increase of $1,052,010 in stock based compensation to be amortized over the remaining life of the options.  The option exchange was subject to meeting performance standards set by our Chief Executive Officer, which have now been met.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense for the vesting of options of $694,331 and $1,433,633 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of March 31, 2011, there was $6,673,861 in total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a period of three years.

Note 10—Warrants
 
In March 2006, we issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share as compensation to its Chief Executive Officer. These warrants were still outstanding on March 31, 2011 and expire in March 2016.
 
During March 2006, we issued three series (Series 1, 2 and 3) of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $2.87, $4.00, and $7.00 as compensation for certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of our Chief Executive Officer. The Series 1 warrant was exercised in 2006. 50% (1,000,000) of the remaining warrants were owned by RSI. On January 25, 2008, the Company and RSI entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “RSI Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding warrants were reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the Note Payable of $263,690, to be amortized over the life of the note, see Note 6. The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were still outstanding at March 31, 2011 and expire in March 2016. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note

On February 19, 2010, we reduced the exercise price of the remaining 1,000,000 outstanding warrants to $3.55 per share.  The warrant re-pricing resulted in a $147,813 of stock compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations.  The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were still outstanding at March 31, 2011 and expire in March 2016.  The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date.  The fair value of the modified warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate:
3.24%
Expected term:
 
6.08 years
Expected dividend yield:
 
Expected volatility:
 
105.68%
 
In October 2006, we issued two series of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $12.50 and $15.00 per share to MATT Inc. in connection with the issuance of common stock. On January 25, 2008, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT Inc.. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement the exercise price of MATT Inc.’s outstanding warrants were reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the Note Payable of $1,341,692, to be amortized over the life of the note, see Note 6 above. These warrants expire in October 2016 and were still outstanding as of March 31, 2011. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note.
 
In September 2010, we granted warrants to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share as compensation to a consultant.  These warrants were subject to vesting based on performance standards detailed in the agreement. Warrants to purchase 165,000 shares vested and the remaining 100,000 expired.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, warrants to purchase 65,000 shares were exercised.  Warrants to purchase 100,000 shares were outstanding and exercisable on March 31, 2011 and expire in September 2013. The fair value of these warrants of $116,286 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions listed below and recognized in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations.

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

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Company Overview

Quepasa Corporation (NYSE Amex: QPSA) owns and operates Quepasa.com, the only known publicly-traded social network and gaming platform for the Latino community. We attract Latin audiences worldwide by taking the best of the social web and delivering it in the form of a fun, interactive and distinctly Latin online experience.
 
Highlights of the first quarter of 2011 included:
 
Quepasa Corporate
Beginning with the opening of the market on Friday, January 21, 2011, Quepasa’s common stock commenced trading on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “QPSA.”
 
Mr. Lars Fuhrken-Batista was appointed a director of Quepasa. Mr. Batista, a Brazilian native, brings to Quepasa a wealth of relevant experience in gaming and a broad base of experience in the developing Brazilian Internet market ─ areas key to Quepasa’s strategic direction.
 
Mr. Michael Nicklas, a leading investor and advisor to emerging technology companies in Latin America, was appointed as a company advisor. Mr. Nicklas is widely regarded as one of the leading early-stage investors focused on the emerging Internet market in Brazil. For the last three years, he has helped develop and invested in a portfolio of companies across the region focused on social media, ecommerce and web publishing.
 
DSM
 
Quepasa DSM, our distributed social media advertising platform, reported record engagement results for its Ley de Fomento al Primer Empleo campaign. The social media marketing campaign raised awareness across multiple social networks by targeting the Mexican youth regarding a proposed law designed to create employment opportunities for their age demographic. The goal of the campaign was to invite participants to learn about the proposed law and then engage them to virtually vote for and share their support for the law’s objectives across the social web. Quepasa ran this campaign for 30 days and was able to generate then record results with more than eight million total views, votes and shares across a targeted base of 30 million Internet users in Mexico.
 
In addition to the Ley de Fomento al Primer Empleo campaign, during the first quarter of 2011, we ran campaigns for reseller partner Sony Picture Television Ad Sales Latin America, as well as the El Trabajo de Tus Suenos, “Dream Job” campaign.
 
Quepasa Games
 
March 2, 2011, we acquired XtFt Games S/S Ltda, the owner of substantially all the assets and business of TechFront Desenvolvimento de Software S/S Ltda, a social game development studio based in Curitiba, Brazil. Founded in 2006 as a developer of multiplatform console, Web and mobile games, TechFront began developing social games for the Orkut platform in 2010 in partnership with various international publishers.
 
 
20

 
 
As part of the Company’s acquisition, XtFt transitioned from a work-for-hire business model to publishing its own social game IP.  Quepasa Games initiated development of its Wonderful City social game, with expected release on Quepasa.com, Orkut and Facebook in the second quarter of 2011.
 
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board. In addition, there are other items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the modified-prospective transition method.  Since all share-based payments made prior to January 1, 2006 were fully vested, compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 represents the compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based upon the grant-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued guidance which allows companies, in certain circumstances, to utilize a simplified method in determining the expected term of stock option grants when calculating the compensation expense to be recorded under GAAP for employee stock options.  The simplified method can be used after December 31, 2007 only if a company’s stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term.  Through 2009 and 2010, we continued to use the simplified method to determine the expected option term since the Company’s stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.  As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
 
 
21

 
 
Contingencies

The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated management support agreements and legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  As facts concerning contingencies become known we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements.  Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters that are subject to change as events evolve and additional information becomes available.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.

Results of Operations

Revenue Sources

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our revenue was generated from four principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of DSM campaigns, website development services, display advertising on our website and royalty revenue.

 
·
DSM Revenues: We recognize DSM revenues over the period of the contest or as the service is provided.  Approximately 92% and 76% of our revenue came from DSM campaigns in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 
·
Website Development Revenue: We recognize website development revenues as the service is provided.  Approximately 3% and 0% of our revenue came from website development in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 
·
Display Advertising Revenue: Display advertising revenue is generated when an advertiser purchases a placement within our quepasa.com website.  We recognize revenue related to display advertising upon delivery.  Consistent with GAAP, we recognize advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis.  Approximately 3% and 76% of our revenue came from display advertising in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 
·
Royalty Revenue: We recognize royalty revenues on a net basis, as reported to us by third parties.  Approximately 1% and 0% of our revenue came from royalties in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Our principal operating expenses are divided into the following categories:

 
Product Development and Content Expenses: Product development and content expenses consist of personnel costs associated with the development, testing and upgrading of our website and systems, content fees, and purchases of specific technology, particularly software and hardware related to our infrastructure upgrade.

 
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses of marketing and sales personnel, and other marketing-related expenses including our mass media-based branding and advertising.

 
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs related to corporate personnel, occupancy costs, general operating costs and corporate professional fees, such as legal and accounting fees.

 
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses: Our depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses which have consisted primarily of depreciation related to our property and equipment.
 
 
22

 
 
 
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest earned, interest expense and earned grant income.  We have invested our cash in AAA rated, fully liquid instruments. Interest expense relates to our Note Payable.  Earned grant income represents the amortized portion of a cash grant received in 2006 from the Mexican government for approved capital expenditures.  The grant is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the purchased assets.

Revenues

Our revenues were $2,243,564 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $1,921,594 or 597% compared to $321,970 for the same period in 2010.  This increase is primarily attributable to $2,056,667 in DSM revenue and $70,000 in website development revenue earned in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  Launched in December 2009, our DSM contest platform is a tool that allows advertisers and brands to deliver their brand message through a viral contest engine that is shared and spread by the users across the most popular social media sites.  We believe this is a highly effective ad product that allows brands to market their products to the broader Latino demographic, without requiring the advertiser to have to decide how to allocate its budget amongst numerous websites.  With Quepasa DSM, brands can target Latinos across all social media properties, leveraging the user’s use of viral widgets and sharing tools to spread the brand message.  $250,000 of DSM revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was earned from MATT Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder, on behalf of the Municipality of Ixtapa in Mexico, without commission or fees.  $2,016,667 of DSM revenue and $70,000 of Website Development revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was received from AHMSA, which owns MATT, Inc..

In February 2008, we re-launched our website.  Website traffic has increased significantly since the re-launch.  The website had 51,168,527 unique visitors in the first quarter of 2011 and 7,928,589 in the first quarter of 2010, a 545% increase.  We believe there will be a direct correlation between website traffic and our ability to increase revenue.

As part of our website development strategy, we have focused on establishing a platform for sustained, viral growth—based on (i) simple user registration and invitation process; (ii) effective email deliverability; and (iii) a simplified way to navigate the site through an enhanced user interface.  In June 2008, we redesigned the sign-up and invitation pages of our site, resulting in approximately a 50% increase in the number of new users who invited friends and contacts to join Quepasa.com.  In addition, we have substantially reduced the number of Quepasa.com invitation emails that fail to reach recipients’ email inboxes. Improved deliverability, together with the redesign of our sign-up and invitation steps and a more robust user experience, has resulted in meaningful gains in the number new registered users and site traffic.

As we increased traffic through the improvements outlined in the above paragraph, we began focusing on revenue generation.  This led to the DSM campaigns together with the website development revenue.  By the fall of 2010, we saw social game revenue as an important future revenue source as social gaming experienced explosive growth both on Facebook and on other competitive websites in Latin America.  As a result, we commenced a search to acquire our own social gaming company.  This culminated in our acquisition of XtFt.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased $148,356, or 85%, to $322,052 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $173,696 in 2010.  The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in stock based compensation of $71,211 attributable to increased head count and an increase in salaries of $68,600 due to the addition of a salesperson and two marketing staff in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses increased $843,787, or 98%, to $1,707,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $863,677 in 2010.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had an increase in content expense for DSM campaigns of $660,000 primarily consisting of media buys;  increases in U.S. salaries of $52,000 attributable to increased head count, an increase in salaries and associated payroll costs of $48,400 due to salary increases and staff additions to our product development and technology personnel within Quepasa.com de Mexico, which provides substantially all of our design, translation services, and website management and development services; increases in salaries and associated payroll costs of $129,400 due to salary increases and staff additions to our games development and technology personnel within XtFt, which, provides substantially all of our game design services, and an increase of $23,800 for software accreditations.  These increases were partially offset by decreases of $87,900 in direct advertising content costs and contest prizes from the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses decreased $261,309, or 15%, to $1,432,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,695,193 for the same period in 2010.  The significant changes consisted of:

 
a decrease in stock based compensation of $809,647 due the full vesting of general and administrative employee stock options during 2010; is partially offset by:

 
an increase in brokerage commissions of $300,000 incurred in the XtFt acquisition;

 
an increase in legal and accounting expenses of $108,000 due to costs incurred in the XtFt acquisition and the other contract negotiations;

 
an increase in dues and subscriptions of $36,000;

 
and an increase in travel expenses of $53,000.
 
Stock Based Compensation: Stock based compensation expense, which is included in the other operating expense categories as discussed above, decreased $734,546 to $873,234 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,607,780 in 2010.  The Stock based compensation expense represented 27% and 57% of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  At March 31, 2011, we had $6,673,861 of unrecognized stock based compensation expense, most of which we expect to recognize over the next twelve quarters.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $28,800, or 27%, to $136,460 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $107,660 in 2010.  This increase is attributable to amortization of contracts and depreciation of assets from the XtFt acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation due the completed depreciation on older assets.

Other Income (Expense): Other expense decreased $16,204 to $132,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $149,904 in 2010.  The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase of $16,215 in interest income earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

Net cash used in operations was $1,590,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $550,504 for 2010.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used by operations consisted primarily of a net loss of $1,489,126, offset by non-cash expenses of $136,460 in depreciation and amortization, $694,331 related to stock based compensation for the vesting of stock options and $ 178,903 for vesting of warrants, and $71,854 in amortization of discounts on notes payable and debt issuance costs.  Additionally, changes in working capital impacted the net cash used in operating activities.  These changes included increases in accounts receivable of $1,176,867 and net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $17,087, offset by decreases in other current assets and other assets of $19,028.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash used by operations consisted primarily of a net loss of $2,667,290, offset by non-cash expenses of $107,660 in depreciation and amortization, $71,854 in amortization of discounts on notes payable and debt issuance costs, $1,433,633 related to stock based compensation for the vesting of stock options, and 147,813 related to repricing warrants.  Additionally, changes in working capital impacted the net cash used in operating activities.  These changes included a decrease in other current assets and other assets of $47,182, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $29,723, and an increase in deferred revenue of $250,000.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $611,205 was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $71,205 primarily for computer equipment to increase capacity, improve performance and provide redundant backup for content, $40,000 loan disbursement to Hollywood Creations, see Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the $500,000 loan related to the acquisition of XtFt. Our capital expenditures were $98,163 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Cash Earn (Burn) – Non-GAAP
 
Net cash earn (burn) is a non-GAAP financial measure that may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  We define “net cash earn (burn)” as loss from operations plus non-cash operating expenses including stock based compensation expenses, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges.  This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison.  We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to non-GAAP financial measures such as net cash earn (burn) in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.  Additionally, net cash earn (burn) rate provides meaningful information about our ability to meet our working capital needs.  Net cash earn (burn), as presented below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies necessarily calculate net cash earn (burn) in an identical manner and, therefore, it is not necessarily an accurate measure of comparison between companies.  The following table is a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to loss from operations.

While we previously expected to have no net cash burn in 2011, the net cash burn occurred solely related to the XtFt acquisition and the ongoing game development costs.

We have budgeted capital expenditures of $500,000 for 2011, which will allow us to continue to grow the business given our member growth, by increasing capacity, improving performance and providing redundant backup for content.

As of the date of the filing of this report, we have approximately $12.3 million in cash and $2.5 million in accounts receivable.  Management believes that we have sufficient working capital to operate beyond the next 12 months.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
 
This report includes forward-looking statements including statements regarding:
 
The growth of our business,
Expected release of Wonderful City,
Expectations regarding our net cash earn (burn) rate,
Belief regarding our working capital being sufficient to operate our business beyond 12 months,
Our final release of Wonderful City,
Capital expenditures, and
Our liquidity.
 
All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.  

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include unanticipated software problems which delay or impede the launch of Wonderful City and catastrophic failure to our servers requiring material unanticipated capital expenditures. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made.  Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.  The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered 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.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  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.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(i)
the representations and warranties contained in the agreement were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties and not as a means of establishing facts;

Notwithstanding the above, any information contained in a schedule that would cause a reasonable investor (or that a reasonable investor would consider important in making a decision) to buy or sell our common stock has been included. We have been further advised by our counsel that in all instances the standard of materiality under the federal securities laws will determine whether or not information has been omitted; in other words, any information that is not material under the federal securities laws may be omitted. Furthermore, information which may have a different standard of materiality would nonetheless have been disclosed if material under the federal securities laws.

Copies of any of the exhibits referred to above will be furnished at no cost to shareholders who make a written request therefore to Michael Matte, Quepasa Corporation, 324 Datura Street, Suite 114, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.
