ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc. for the periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010. The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2011 and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

|
As at March 31, 2011, we had 345 licensed mortgage agents operating across Canada. As at March 31, 2011, our Company had 11 full-time employees and 1 full-time contract staff for a total of 12 full-time staff.

The Company also has regional offices in Mississauga - Ontario, Calgary - Alberta, and Glace Bay - Nova Scotia, Canada.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to three months ended March 31, 2010
Reported gross revenue in our first quarter decreased by approximately 6% in 2011, as compared to that of 2010, to $2,927,206. This relative trend is generally attributed, in large part, to the net effect of:
|
Ø
|
a general increase of approximately 5% in the foreign exchange rate over the period in 2011 from its comparative in 2010 that the Company was exposed to as all of our operations are currently in Canada;
|
|
Ø
|
the loss of one of our larger mortgage origination agent teams, which at the time represented approximately 29% of our national book of business, early in our first quarter of 2010; and
|
|
Ø
|
the organic growth of our book of business and increases due to ongoing recruitment efforts.
|
The Company experienced no significant revenue trend changes within the period as compared to the comparable period in 2010 with respect to geographic variations in margin or the absolute amounts of lender’s commissions. Quarter over quarter, the Company experienced typical seasonal fluctuations where, based on historical averages, the first quarter of the year typically represents 18% of the Company’s annual sales, the second quarter typically represents 25%, the third quarter typically represents 31% and the fourth quarter typically represents 26%.
The Company’s reported operating expenses during the period were flat and decreased by approximately 3% as compared to that of 2010, to $3,115,516. Like revenue, the consolidated comparative decrease in total operating expenses is also affected by a 5% increase in average value of the Canadian dollar (where all of our operations take place) as compared to the United States dollar (what we report in for filing purposes) from our first quarter in 2010 to that of 2011. The primary components that comprise our operating expenses and contribute to this trend are stock-based compensation, agent commissions, salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses, which are explained in detail as follows:
2
|
·
|
The expense during the period associated with our agent stock-based compensation program decreased significantly in 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily due to 77% decrease in our stock price between the periods. Management has no control or influence over our stock price and there are no visible trends in stock-based compensation as they may relate to our results of operations to-date.
|
|
·
|
81% of the operating expenses in the reporting period were associated with agent commissions. Reported agent commission fees in the reporting period, as a percent of revenue, increased 12% in the 2011 reporting period as compared to that of 2010. Actual commission fee expenses increased only 9% from the same period in 2010 to 2011, associated in part to the net effect of an approximately 5% increase in foreign exchange between periods and some gross margin erosion due to an increase of commission splits with select larger Company agent teams.
|
|
·
|
12% of the operating expenses in the reporting period were associated with salaries and benefits. Reported salaries and benefit expenses were generally flat between the periods in 2010 and 2011.
|
|
·
|
5% of our operating expenses in the reporting period were associated with general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 60% to $145,891 in 2011as compared to that of 2010 as the Company entered into a cost sharing program with a related third-party company.
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2011, we had $780,759 in cash, $44,807 in prepaid expenses, $85,075 in equipment and equipment under capital leases for a total of $910,641 in assets. Comparatively as at December 31, 2010, we had $752,422 in cash; $43,765 in prepaid expenses, $87,061 in equipment and equipment under capital leases for a total of $883,248 in assets.
At March 31, 2011, we had $1,107,712 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $203,016 in employee tax deductions payable, $910,751 in loans payable to related parties and $30,697 in accrued stock-based compensation for a total of $2,252,176 in liabilities. Comparatively as at December 31, 2010, the Company had $1,266,166 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $231,023 in employee tax deductions payable, $482,832 in loans payable to related parties and $29,881 in accrued stock-based compensation for a total of $2,009,902 in liabilities.
Management makes the following comments regarding the most significant factors affecting Company liquidity and capital resources and their measured trends over the reporting period:
|
·
|
Over the first three months of 2011, there were nominal foreign exchange differences in the price of the Canadian dollar (that the Company was exposed to as all of our operations are currently in Canada) as compared to the US dollar (what we report in on a consolidated basis). From December 31, 2010 (1.0015) to March 31, 2011 (1.0314), the value of the Canadian dollar increased by 2.6 % relative to the US dollar with an average over the period of 1.0015 relative to the US dollar.
|
|
·
|
The Company’s cash position was flat and nominally increased by $8,937 over the first three months of 2011, augmented with a foreign exchange balance primarily associated with the following:
|
|
o
|
the Company lost $399,923 in cash from operating activities over the first three months of 2011 as the first quarter of the year is seasonally the slowest;
|
|
o
|
the Company gained $413,574 in cash from financing activities over the first three months of 2011 as we received a shareholder loan;
|
|
o
|
the Company lost $4,714 in cash from investing activities over the first three months of 2011; and
|
|
o
|
the Company had an increase in foreign exchange balances of $19,400 over the period.
|
|
·
|
Accounts payable decreased by 13% over the reporting period. The bulk of this payable amount is work in progress payable following the completion of mortgage agent origination compliance procedures. Work in progress payable is lower over the reporting period matching a decrease in mortgage originations associated with the loss of one of our larger mortgage agent teams early in the first quarter of 2010 as previously reported. Work in progress mortgage agent commissions payable are typically outstanding for 10 business days.
|
|
·
|
The Company is in arrears on the tax withholdings due to Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) related to employee salaries. As at the end of the reporting period, the company had a tax liability with CRA of $203,016. CRA has registered a Certificate in the Canadian Federal Court and the Property Register of Ontario for the amount owing to CRA against one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries. Currently the company has an arrangement with CRA whereby we make payments on this outstanding amount decreasing both principle and interest monthly. The liability currently bears interest at 9% annually.
|
3
The Company reported a net loss from operations for the first three months of 2011 of $188,310 with a net increase in cash from operating, investing and financing activities of $8,937 during the same period. If we grow our mortgage agent book of business and the associated commission fees above current levels while continuing to manage our expenses within existing envelopes, we expect to achieve consistent positive earnings from operations and should have adequate working capital for the near future to fund normal operations. In the event that we grow beyond our available working capital resources, experience unforeseen impacts to cash flow, or experience a prolonged market downturn, we will need to rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders and/or loans from shareholders and third-party lenders to meet our working capital needs. The Company is also actively exploring restructuring to reduce our expenses from operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of mortgage brokerage fees, finders’ fees and insurance commissions. The revenues from brokerage fees and finders’ fees are recognized after the funding of a customer’s mortgage and when the collection of brokerage or finders fees is reasonably assured which typically occurs when the fees are advanced from the lender. Insurance commission revenues are recognized when collection is reasonably assured which typically occurs when the insurance commission fees from the insurance provider are advanced.
Share-based Payment
The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R" and now codified as “ASC 718”) for stock options and similar equity instruments (collectively, "options") issued to employees. The Company applies the fair value base method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 123R or ASC 718. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For stock options, the fair value is determined using an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock and the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. SFAS No. 123R or ASC 718 also applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees. Those transactions must be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, as described in Note 7 to the financial statements found here-in for the reporting period.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months reporting period ended March 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss from operations of $188,310 with a net increase in cash from operating, investing and financing activities of $8,937 during the same period. Certain conditions noted below raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional debt or equity financing, continue to grow sales of its services and continue to achieve profitable operations. Management’s plan is to increase gross revenue by expanding the sales force. In addition, management plans to carefully manage expenses and capital investments related to scalability, to establish sustainable operational profitability through our growth and to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings. Management is also examining various restructuring options that might reduce our cost structure. Current economic conditions may impact our ability to recruit mortgage agents or may result in changes by lenders to our commission fee schedules, both of which would have a negative impact on our revenue growth. As our mortgage agent teams develop and grow, they may have additional leverage with the Company to request an increase in their proportionate share of commission fees which would result in decreased gross margins for the Company. Also, financing may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms to the Company. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
4
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of the Company’s management, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. v. Mortgage Brokers City Inc.
On January 25, 2010, MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. (“FGOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MortgageBrokers.com Holdings Inc., commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against a number of parties including Mortgage Brokers City Inc. and its principals who were former mortgage agents of the Company. The statement of claim filed by FGOC asserted a number of claims in the aggregate amount of approximately CAD $19 million, arising out of loan agreements and mortgage agent license agreements with the defendants. In addition, claims were made against the defendants for passing off their brokerage for that of the plaintiffs including continuing to operate a brokerage with all of the trappings they had been using to identify their brokerage when working for the plaintiffs, after their agreement with the plaintiffs had been terminated.
The Company also sought injunctive relief from the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario for the defendants’ actions after a licensing agreement was terminated. On March 31, 2010, Mr. Justice Beaudoin dismissed the injunction.
On April 5, 2010, the defendants counter claimed against a number of parties including FGOC in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada. The counter claim asserted a number of claims in the amount of $550,000 arising out of commission holdbacks by the Company. The counter claim was settled following the plaintiffs paying out agent commissions of $223,734 and placing $373,244 with the Court pending a resolution to the plaintiff’s original claim.
The matter is still before the courts and is expected to be heard later in 2011. The Company reasonably expects, at a minimum, to recover a portion, if not all of the funds it placed in trust with the Courts.
MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. v. Ralph Canonaco et. al.
On March 5, 2010, FGOC commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against Ralph Canonaco. The statement of claim filed by FGOC asserted the failed collection of a liquidated debt in the amount of $500,000 arising out of a brokerage agreement.
On September 9, 2010, Ralph Canonaco and various other parties commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against FGOC and various other related parties. The statement of claim filed by Ralph Canonaco et. al. asserted fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation and conspiracy in the amount of $35,000,000, unjust enrichment in the amount of $950,000, breach of trust and misappropriation of trust funds in the amount of $50,000, and breach of contract in the amount of $50,000, arising out of a brokerage agreement and the associated services provided.
Ralph Canonaco et. al. via their counsel have communicated to the Company to not file a defence to the counter-claim as the parties would like to settle with the Company. The actions are currently stayed pending a mediation scheduled to be held in the summer of 2011. Company management believes that the Company will recover a reasonable portion of its original claim if not all and that the counterclaim is vexatious and frivolous and has no grounds to proceed.
HSBC Bank Canada v. MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. et. al.
On February 2, 2011, HSBC Bank Canada commenced an action in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Canada against various entities, including FGOC et. al. The statement of claim filed asserted claims of breach of agreement, conspiracy and concealment and is claiming $651,000 plus costs and interest arising out of a real estate transaction and mortgage funding.
Company management will vigorously defend itself in this action and believes that the Company has no liability in this matter. The statement of claim specifically notes that the Company had a duty to supervise the mortgage agent and in fact did supervise that mortgage agent.
Other Matters in the Normal Course of Business
The Company or its subsidiaries are party to various other claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect the disposition of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
Nature of Business
MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 6, 2003.
Mortgage brokerage operations are presently conducted through the Company’s subsidiaries, Mortgagebrokers.com Inc. (an Ontario, Canada company), MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies, Inc., MBKR Franchising Inc. and MBKR Holdings Inc. (Canadian federal companies), in Canada only. The planned operations of the Company consist of becoming a financial services company centered around mortgage finance, brokerage, sales and consulting in Canada, the United States and the European Union (“E.U.”).
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company generated a net loss of $188,310 (for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company generated a net loss of $494,009). Certain conditions noted below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional debt or equity financing, continue to grow sales of its services and achieve profitable operations. Management’s plan is to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms to the Company. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to establishing its current business. Management continues to develop and execute its business model, business plans and strategic marketing plans which includes: organization of the Company and divisions; identification of the Company’s sales channels and associated supply chain; development of marketing strategic plans and sales execution strategies; preparation of a financial plan, risk and capital structure planning models, and mortgage origination ‘book of business’ models; hiring mortgage sales agents to build its national sales force and continuing to develop our referral relationship; developing cash flow forecasts and an operating budget; identifying markets to raise additional equity capital and debt financing; embarking on research and development activities; performing employment searches and preparing agent contracts; and, recruiting and hiring technicians, management and industry specialists.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and their basis of application is consistent. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
a) Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim unaudited financial information has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements, notes and accounting policies included in the Company's annual report on form 10 K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and changes in estimates, where appropriate) are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations of such interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
b) Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Mortgagebrokers.com Inc., Mortgagebrokers.com Financial Group of Companies, Inc. and MBKR Holdings, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2010-28 addresses when to perform step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

8. Capital Stock(cont’d)
Based upon the sale of 2,112,470 shares in our placement which closed on June 9, 2006, and pursuant to the January 30, 2006 agreement with RE/MAX which was modified on May 25, 2006, a maximum number of 528,117 shares could be issued each anniversary of the placement closing date for a total of 5,281,170 shares over 10 years. As at March 31, 2011 the Company has issued 968,500 (December 31, 2010 – 968,500) of these common shares. The issuance of the anniversary shares is subject to the good standing of the RE/MAX January 30, 2006 and amended May 25, 2006 agreements for RE/MAX affiliates as well as the continued good standing of a one year renewable service level agreement for the RE/MAX Franchisee.The Company and RE/MAX terminated the agreement June 9, 2009 and as such the obligation to issue anniversary shares following this period has been removed from the Company.
The potential issuance of the shares to the June 9, 2006 private placement offering participants is accrued for quarterly and issued annually. The annual issuances are recorded at the market value of the share on the date of issuance.
Equity Compensation Plan
On February 6, 2003 and as amended on February 14, 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Equity Compensation Plan to attract and retain high quality personnel. The adequacy of this plan is evaluated annually by Company management. As of March 31, 2011, no options had been issued under this plan. The disclosures made in the 2005 Audited Financial Statements (10-KSB - Item 10. Executive Compensation) and the `Amendment to License Agreement between RE/MAX and Mortgagebrokers.com Holding Inc.' dated May 25, 2006 (8-K - Schedule `A' 1. Outstanding Options) documenting the equity compensation of employees has not been implemented as of March 31, 2011. The Company is currently in the process of amending the existing employment agreements which are expected to be executed in 2011. Until the new employment contracts have been formally and legally executed, the existing employment contracts of the Company are still in effect.
Service Compensation Plan
On March 1, 2005 the Board of Directors approved the Service Compensation Plan ("the Service Plan"), the purpose of which is to enhance the Company’s stockholder value and maximize the available capital resources of the company through allowing non monetary transactions whereby the issuance of stock is granted for services rendered. This program is expected to support the Company in building a long term sustainable revenue pipeline, a national sales agency and referral program as well as provide incentive to service providers to establish long term relationships with the Company and to encourage stock ownership by such individuals by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company’s success through stock ownership. Under the Service Plan, service providers, consultants, mortgage agents and strategic alliance partners who provide services to the Company may be granted options or warrants to acquire restricted stock of the Company. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Service Plan is 5,000,000, the adequacy of which will be evaluated annually.

9. Additional Paid-in Capital - Warrants
On June 9, 2006, accredited investors including RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc., its executives and franchisees purchased 2,112,470 units of the Company for aggregate proceeds of $2,112,470 as a part of private placement. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The warrants are exercisable at a price 30% below the 30 day fair market price preceding the date such warrants are exercised. One-fifth of such warrants must be exercised (executed to purchase shares) within 30 days following each successive anniversary date of the private placement closing of the offering. Warrants expire if not exercised within 30 days of such anniversary date. The warrants were relatively valued at $732,605. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%, expected stock volatility of 64.7%, risk-free interest rate of 4.00% and an expected warrant life of 1 year. As of March 31, 2011, 233,078 (December 31, 2010 - 233,078) of the warrants were exercised at an average price of $0.28 (December 31, 2010 - $0.28). During the period ended March 31, 2011, Nil warrants expired (for the year ended December 31, 2010, 422,494 with a value of $159,818). As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 1,456,898 warrants have expired, 233,078 warrants have been exercised and 422,494 warrants remain outstanding.
10. Treasury Stock
During 2010, the Company acquired 38,800 common shares of the Company on the open market, at an average price of $0.05 per share for a total of $2,052. In 2007, the Company acquired 12,500 common shares of the Company, on the open market, at an average price of $0.60 per share for a total of $7,455. In 2006, the Company acquired 31,600 common shares of the Company, on the open market, at an average value of $0.56 per common share, for a total of $17,779. The total treasury stock held at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is 82,900 at a total price of $27,286.
11. Occupancy Costs - Related Party
On August 1, 2007, the Company’s current office space was sold to a related party of the Chief Executive Officer, the Company`s majority shareholder. The Company’s lease agreement obligation was extended from two to five years. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the lease agreement was terminated, therefore the Company is no longer committed to any office rent agreements.
12. Earnings or Loss Per Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per common share using net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The Company calculates diluted earnings per common share in the same manner as basic, except we use the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding in the denominator, when the stock options and warrants are not anti-dilutive.

13. Comparative Figures
Certain figures for the period have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s financial statement presentation.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company has entered into agreements with various parties, whereby the Company is committed to issue compensatory warrants and stock as part of the “Service Compensation Plan” to mortgage agents and strategic alliance partners.
The effective date (“Effective Date”), when mentioned below, is the date the independent mortgage agent entered into a Mortgage Agent Agreement with the Company; or, is the date the RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc. (“RE/MAX”) or Maxwell Realty Inc. (“Maxwell”) Franchisee entered into a Service Level Agreement with the Company and is also the date that the strike price (“Strike Price”) of the warrants is established. The strike price is the greater of $1 per share or the twenty day average closing price following the Effective Date.
Since the conversion ratio of dollar value of warrants into shares is fixed, but the share price fluctuates, the accrual to expense the value of the warrants earned by the mortgage agents and strategic alliance partners will fluctuate with the share price at the end of each period.
The Company has entered into agreements with the following parties:
a) Independent Mortgage Agents/Loan Officers
Pursuant to a 5 year Mortgage Agent Agreement, the Company is committed to issuing warrants, at no cost, for common stock of the Company in two series to mortgage agents licensed with the Company based on their annual mortgage origination sales volume, which are summarized as follows based on current formulae:
Series I Warrants
|
“Average Volume”:
|
defined as the average best three out of five years in funded mortgage origination volume
|
|
| Number of Warrants: | $8,257 worth of warrants divided by the Strike Price, per CDN $10 million in Average Volume, adjusted on a pro rata basis, no minimum or maximum thresholds. The warrants are convertible in common shares on a 1:1 basis. | |
| Earnings Period: | Series I warrants are earned in the first 5 years following the Effective Date; | |
| Additional Vestment: | all SERIES I warrants are fully vested on the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date | |
| Determination Date: | 5 year anniversary of Effective Date |
