THE PAWS PET COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of The PAWS Pet Company, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Pet Airways, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary Pet Airways, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompany condensed consolidation financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Financial results for the Company and airlines in general, can be seasonal in nature. In recent years, the Company’s revenues, as well as its overall financial performance, have been better in its second and third quarters than in its first and fourth quarters. Air travel is also significantly impacted by, but not limited to general economic conditions, the amount of disposable income available to consumers and unemployment levels. The results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or adjusted to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications and adjustments had no material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and net cash flows from operations for all periods presented.
 
Going Concern Matters

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company does not presently have adequate cash from operations or financing activities to meet its long-term financing needs.  For the periods ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $23,805 and $1,511,057, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents to use in executing its business plan.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company generated $1,489,450 in revenues and recorded a net loss of $(9,642,316) including non-cash charges of $(5,673,012) in derivative warrant valuation expense from the issuance of a warrant and $(571,122) in loss on extinguishment of debt.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company generated $1,348,491 in revenues and recorded a net loss of $(4,055,905). As a result of these and other factors, the Company’s independent registered accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  As further described in Footnote 2 “Equity” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, on June 3, 2011 the Company issued 2,253,470 shares of common A stock (“common stock”) and a warrant to purchase 20,476,707 shares of common stock at a price of $1.02 per share to Socius CG II, Ltd. (“Socius”) for cash of $500,000 and secured an equity line of credit for up to $5 million subject to the Company meeting certain conditions.

The Company will require up to $3 million in additional working capital to continue its operations during the next 12 months and to support its long-term growth strategies, so as to enhance its service offerings and benefit from economies of scale. The Company’s working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business and competition in the markets it serves. If the Company does not meet the conditions permitting drawdowns under its financing arrangement with Socius, the Company may be required to seek alternative funding through one or more sources and credit facilities, if available, or through the sale of debt or issuance of additional equity securities. However, there is no assurance that funding of any type would be available to the Company, or that it would be available at rates and on terms and conditions that would be financially acceptable and viable to the Company in the long term. If the Company is unable to raise any necessary additional financing when needed, the Company may be required to suspend operations, sell assets or enter into a merger or other combination with a third party, any of which could adversely affect the value of its common stock, or render it worthless. If the Company issues additional debt or equity securities, such securities may enjoy rights, privileges and priorities (including but not limited to coupon rates, conversion rights, rights to fixed or preferential dividends, anti-dilution rights or preference as to the distribution of assets upon a liquidation) superior to those enjoyed by holders of the Company’s common stock, thereby diluting the value of the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that the Company has limited financial resources. The Company may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Business Overview
 
The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pet Airways, Inc. operates an airline designed specifically for the comfortable and safe transportation of pets by traveling in the main cabin of the aircraft. Pet owners can book their pets on flights online at the Company’s website or can book with its agents by phone. Flights can be booked up to three months before the scheduled departure date. Payment for the flights is made with credit card. On the day of the scheduled flight, pet owners drop off their pets at one of the Company’s facilities located at the departure airport. The Company’s airport facilities are for the pets delivered for a flight and functions foremost as a staging, inspection, exchange and observation area for the Company’s staff and the pets under its care pending there flight departure or scheduled layover. The Company places the pet passengers into a pet-friendly carrier and then board the carrier into the main cabin of the aircraft. Pet passengers fly in the main cabin of the specially-outfitted aircraft rather than, as is the case for a traditional commercial airline, flying in the cargo bay or flying as carry-on baggage placed under a passenger’s seat. The Company carries domesticated animals. The number of pets carried per flight can vary based on the size of pet, but generally the Company can carry around 40 pets per flight. Historically, the Company carries mainly dogs and cats. The Company can carry pets of all sizes from small dogs and cats weighing less than 15 lbs. to dogs that weigh 180 lbs. and have maximum height from the ground to shoulder of 34 inches. After drop off, pet owners can track flight progress through the Company’s website. Throughout the flight, the air quality and temperature of the aircraft are monitored ensuring that the pet passengers are safe and comfortable at all times. The Company has a pet attendant on each flight that is responsible for monitoring the pet passengers during the flight. Upon arrival at the destination airport, pet passengers are unloaded from the plane directly into one of the Company’s airport facilities for pick up.

The Company does not own its own aircraft. The Company has a relationship with Suburban Air Freight, Inc. based in Omaha, Nebraska who has two Beechcraft 1900 aircraft configured to carry a maximum weight limit of approximately 5,400 lbs. of pets. The Company relies on Suburban Air to provide the aircraft, pilot and ensure the aircraft complies with all appropriate FAA regulations. The Company does not have a written agreement with Suburban Air, however under the non-written agreement, provides the aircraft, pilot, ensures the aircraft complies with all appropriate FAA regulations and operates the flights according to the Company’s schedule. Suburban Air invoices the Company on a weekly basis for these services including the cost of the pilot, providing the aircraft, airport fees and fuel costs. The Company generally flies one aircraft on its coast-to-coast service.

As of September, 30, 2011, the Company served the following nine markets and airports in the United States and offers a scheduled coast-to-coast service.

Atlanta
DeKalb–Peachtree Airport, Atlanta, GA.

With the exception of Omaha, the Company is either a tenant or a sub-tenant of the respective airport authority. At Omaha, the Company has access to office and hanger space at the Suburban Air facility as part of its non-written agreement with Suburban Air.  Suburban Air is responsible for all flight operations aspects at the airports including air traffic control and landing rights. Any fee associated with use of the airport landing strip and administration is paid by Suburban Air, who in turn invoices the Company.

In addition to Pet Airways operations, the Company evaluates additional pet related products and services that it could add to broaden its product offering. These may include the sale of non-transportation related pet products and services such as pet foods, pet supplements, pet toys, pet clothing and medical services for pets.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will add any non-transportation related pet products or services to its business or that if it does, that it will be successful.

Organizational History
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Illinois on June 6, 2005 as American Antiquities, Inc. In June 2010, the Company formed Pet Airways, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida)”) by the conversion of successor entity Panther Air Cargo, LLC (“Panther Air”) a limited liability company. Effective the date of the conversion, Panther Air began operating as Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida).

On August 13, 2010, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida) (the “Acquisition”), whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida) in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which constituted approximately 73% of its issued and outstanding capital stock on a post-acquisition basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the Acquisition.

Panther Air Cargo, LLC was formed as a limited liability company in the State of Florida in February 2005. From 2005 through 2009, Panther Air Cargo d/b/a Pet Airways evaluated the market for pet air travel, including reservation systems and processes. It also considered whether it should own its own planes or contract with third parties. It also evaluated the optimal ways to configure the aircraft for safe pet travel and the initial markets to commence flight operations in. Pet Airways began flight operations in July 2009 and from the period July 2009 to March 2010 operated a weekly scheduled service. In March 2010 Pet Airways suspended flight operations to upgrade its on line reservation system and to raise additional capital. In June 2010, Pet Airways resumed flight operation after it implemented its new reservation system and raised additional capital by issuing a series of convertible debentures, shares of common stock and warrants. Immediately prior to the Acquisition, Panther Air Cargo, LLC was converted to Pet Airways, Inc., a Florida corporation.

As a result of the Acquisition, Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s and the controlling stockholders of Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida) became the Company’s controlling stockholders. Also, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company changed its name from American Antiquities, Inc.  to Pet Airways, Inc. and commenced trading under the symbol “PAWS” on the OTCQB.  The OTCQB market tier of the OTC market helps investors identify companies that are current in their reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). OTCQB securities are quoted on OTC Markets Group's quotation and trading system. On July 27, 2011, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to amend its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to The PAWS Pet Company, Inc.  

The share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida) as the acquirer and The PAWS Pet Company, Inc. as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, refer to the business and financial information of Pet Airways, Inc. and its predecessors. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Pet Airways, Inc. has been treated as a recapitalization with no adjustment to the historical book and tax basis of the companies’ assets and liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company based these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and evaluates them on an on-going basis to ensure they remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies and estimates are summarized below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the earning process is completed. In the Company’s business, the earning process is complete when the scheduled flight service, or a replacement flight service, purchased by the buyer has been delivered. Revenue from tickets sold prior to schedule flights is initially recorded as unearned revenue, net of any discounts, and is recognized as revenue in the period when the scheduled service has been provided or offered to the buyer as agreed. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, a portion of the tickets sold are sometimes not used by the buyer on the agreed date of the flight. In such cases, for a nominal change fee, the Company will issue to holders of unused tickets a “voucher” which stated value can be applied toward the purchase of a flight for up to one year. Accordingly, the change fee is earned when the voucher is issued and the stated voucher value remains unearned until recorded as revenue upon the earlier of the vouchers expiration date or delivery of the flight service that it was applied to. Tickets purchased for scheduled flights that are cancelled by the Company may be refunded or applied towards another flight at the buyer's request. Refunds processed are removed from unearned revenue. Any inconvenience cost incurred by the Company for the benefit of the buyer is charged to cost of revenue when incurred. Cancelled scheduled flights requiring refunds or additional costs to accommodate the buyer’s revised travel plans have not been a significant issue since resumption of flights in June 2010. Unearned revenue consists of tickets and vouchers for future scheduled flights that have not been completed or provided as agreed.

Fees charged by the credit card processors for handling the ticket sales are recorded to cost of sales at the time the tickets are sold due to the relatively short period of time between the sale of a ticket and providing the scheduled transportation service.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has utilized convertible debentures with warrants to purchase shares of common stock to settle certain liabilities and fund operations resulting in the recording of a derivative liability. Current guidance for valuing and classifying transactions of this type included Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options".  Accordingly, the Company has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining the fair value of the convertible debenture issued with a warrant. The resulting calculation of the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) and warrant equity component are recorded to additional paid in capital (“APIC”) with an offset discount to the principal value of the convertible debenture. The Company has used the effective yield interest method for amortizing the discount to interest expense over the maturity term of the convertible debenture. The Company records to interest expense the unamortized discount value associated with a debenture converted in a period.
 
The Company accounts for certain its Warrants (see Note 2, Equity, Socius CG II, Ltd. Financing) as derivatives under the guidance of ASC 815-10, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and ASC 815-40, Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock.

Accruals for Contingent Liabilities
 
The Company makes estimates of liabilities that arise from various contingencies for which values are not fully known at the date of the accrual or during the periodic financial planning and analysis cycle. These contingencies may include, but are not limited, to accruals for reserves for costs and awards involving legal settlements, cost associated with planned changes in workforce or operating levels, costs associated with reduced flight services from Suburban Air, the building out of leased premises, vacating leased premises or abandoning leased equipment, and costs involved with the discontinuance of a segment of a business. Events may occur that are resolved over a period of time or on a specific future date. Management makes estimates using the facts available of the probability of the outcomes and range of cost, if measureable, of these occurrences and charges them to expense in the appropriate periods. If the ultimate resolution of any event is different than management’s estimate caused by a change in facts or material operating assumptions, compensating entries to earnings may be required.

Equity Based Compensation

The Company applies ASC 718-10 Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50 Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees in accounting for stock options issued to employees and non-employees, respectively. For stock options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company applies the same standard, which requires the recognition of compensation cost based upon the fair value of stock options and warrant at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the option-pricing model is affected by its equity price as well as assumptions regarding its expected equity price volatility over the term of the awards, the selection of a risk free interest rate, the ultimate disposition of the award and the impact of the award on earnings per share.  For example, in calculating the expected equity price volatility, the Company may consider using its  historical experience only, its experience plus that of a publicly trade index volatility experience, or a blended volatility experience for public peer companies.  The Company also evaluates carefully the expected life term of an award though the vesting of awards to date have been immediate.  Finally, the Company attempts to use a risk free rate that is widely quoted and pertinent across a broad range of transactions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Use of Estimates

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

Reservation System Development Costs

The Company accounts for reservation system (“website”) development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50Website Development Costs.”  All costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred.  Costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-50, which requires the capitalization of certain costs that meet specific criteria.  Costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company has adopted a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. In this valuation, the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date and fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement.
 
The Company utilizes the following hierarchy in fair value measurements:
 
 
Level 1 – Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
     
 
Level 2 – Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
     
 
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

Depreciation, Amortization and Capitalization

The Company records depreciation and amortization, when appropriate, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets (three to five years).  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property's useful life are capitalized.  Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in operating income or loss.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of its trademark costs.  If and when such factors, events or circumstances indicate possible impairment to its trademark costs, the Company would make an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the remaining lives of the respective assets in measuring recoverability from future operations.  The Company incurred no impairment losses during the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06).  ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements, amends disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets and provides clarification regarding the level of disaggregation of fair value disclosures by investment class.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain Level 3 activity disclosure requirements that will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-29, Business Combination (ASU 2010-29).  ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29  also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting the pro forma financial information disclosures in Topic 805 when comparative financial statements are presented. ASU 2010-29 also improve the usefulness of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosures by requiring a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the business combination(s). ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 will result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for ASU No. 2011-04 to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Some of ASU 2011-04 clarifies the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, ASU 2011-04 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early application by public entities is not permitted.  The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05).  ASU 2011-05 provides that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement.  In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income.  The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income.  Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity is required to present on the principal of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.  ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively.  For public entities, ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with ASU 2011-05 is already permitted. ASU 2011-05 does not require any transition disclosures. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Equity

Preferred Stock Authorized

On May 27, 2011, the Company filed an amended and restated Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois. A summary of the Certificate of Designations is set forth below:

Ranking and Voting. The Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, (i) senior to the Common Stock, and any other classes of stock or series of preferred stock of the Company other than a class or series of preferred stock intended to be listed for trading and (ii) junior to and all existing and future indebtedness of the Company.

No right of Conversion. The Preferred Stock is not convertible into Common Stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the date of issuance of any such shares of Preferred Stock, holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the date of issuance. Accrued dividends shall be payable upon redemption of the Preferred Stock. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions may be paid, declared or set apart with respect to any junior securities other than dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock. After payment of dividends at the annual rates set forth above, any additional dividends declared shall be distributed ratably among all holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be held by each such holder of Preferred Stock as if the Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock by taking the Series A Liquidation Value (as defined below) divided by the market price of one share of Common Stock on the date of distribution.

Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company and any liquidation preferences to the senior securities, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to the Series A Liquidation Value, after which any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock and the holders of junior securities, as if the Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock by taking the Series A Liquidation Value divided by the market price of one share of Common Stock on the date of distribution.

Redemption. The Company may redeem, for cash or by an offset against any outstanding note payable from Socius to the Company that was issued by Socius, any or all of the Preferred Stock at any time at a redemption price per share equal to $10,000 per share of Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such share of Preferred Stock (the “Series A Liquidation Value”).

On June 2, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors designated 1,200,000 shares as Series A preferred stock. At November 8, 2011, no shares of Series A preferred stock were outstanding.

3. Debt Obligations

Extinguishment of 14% Debenture

In June 2010, Pet Airways, Inc. (Florida) issued a $250,000 principal amount unsecured debenture, with an interest rate of 14% per annum and a maturity date of June 18, 2011 (“14% debenture”). Interest on the 14% debenture is payable quarterly starting January 1, 2011. At the Company’s option, interest due may be settled in cash or shares of Company common stock.

On June 3, 2011, the Company extinguished the $250,000 principal amount 14% debenture in exchange for a $350,000 principal amount convertible debenture with a coupon interest rate of 14% per annum, a conversion price of $0.50 per share of common stock and a maturity date of August 14, 2013 (“14% convertible debenture”) and a warrant to purchase 875,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share with an expiration date of June 3, 2016. The extinguishment of the $250,000 principal amount 14% debenture resulted in a total loss on the extinguishment of debt of $571,122 including $10,128 of accrued interest payable.

The 14% convertible debenture and warrant described above are subject to derivative liability accounting. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a fair value of the debenture’s beneficial conversion feature and warrant component derivative was determined to be $342,632 and has been recorded as APIC and debt discount. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a fair value of the detached warrant was determined to be $481,250 and has been recorded as APIC and element of the total loss on the extinguishment of debt.

Convertible Debentures

In August 2010, in a series of transactions, the Company issued five unsecured, convertible debentures, with an aggregate principal balance of $500,000, with interest rates of 8% per annum and a maturity date of August 2013. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share.  Also, in August 2010, the Company issued an unsecured, convertible debenture in the principal amount of $500,000 with an interest rate of 8% and a maturity date of August 2013. The debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. Interest on the above debentures is payable quarterly. At the Company’s option, interest due may be settled in cash or shares of Company common stock.

In January 2011, the debenture holders of aggregate $525,000 principal amount of 8% convertible debentures elected to convert their debentures into 1,300,000 shares of common stock.

At September 30, 2011, an aggregate of $475,000 and $350,000 principal amount 8% and 14% convertible debentures, respectively, were outstanding.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate $825,000 and $1,000,000 convertible debentures if-converted shares of common stock issuable at conversion rates ranging from $0.40 to $0.50 per share resulted in 1,825,000 and 2,250,000 shares and have a fair market value of $547,500 and $3,375,000 using the common stock closing prices of $0.30 and $1.50 per share.

Debt Discount

On January 17, 2011, the Company amortized to interest expense $325,399 of the debt discount related to the conversion of aggregate $525,000 principal amount unsecured 8% convertible debentures into 1,300,000 shares of common stock.

On June 3, 2011, the Company issued a 14% convertible debenture and detached warrant that was subject to derivative liability accounting. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a fair value of the debenture’s beneficial conversion feature and warrant component derivative was determined to be $342,632 and has been recorded as debt discount and APIC.

For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method $64,817 and $145,730, respectively, of the debt discount related to the convertible debentures.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate unamortized debt discount was $567,310 and $695,807, respectively. The unamortized debt discount at September 30, 2011 is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the earlier of the conversion date or the maturity dates of the convertible debentures. The total effective interest rate on the liability component was 14 percent for the period ended September 30, 2011.

The following table summarizes the principal, unamortized debt discount and equity components of the Company’s convertible debentures derivative liability net carrying amount:

4.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases space for certain of its offices and airport facilities under leases expiring from one month to three years after September 30, 2011. Rent expense was $321,010 and $163,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amounts of minimum future annual rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases in each of the five periods ending September 30, 2011 through 2015 are $274,248, $208,659, $90,049, $14,380, respectively, and zero in later years.

The Company, from time to time, is involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation that occur in connection with its business. The Company routinely assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest available information and, when necessary, seeks input from its third-party advisors when making these assessments. Consistent with SEC rules and requirements, described below are material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business), material proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, other proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental laws and regulations (including governmental proceedings involving potential fines, penalties, or other monetary sanctions in excess of $10,000) and such other pending matters that we may determine to be appropriate.

On June 23, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of The State of California, County of Santa Clara against Evan Bines and Alpine Capital Partners, Inc., for (a) breach of oral contract and (b) negligent misrepresentation from the breach of a contract to provide at least $2 million in financing for the Company conditional upon the Company completing a reverse merger with a public entity. The Company is asking the court in a jury trial for judgment against Evan Bines and Alpine Capital Partners, Inc. for (1) compensatory damages in an amount proven at trial, (2) the return of all unearned shares in the merged entity (now known as The PAWS Pet Company, Inc.) as compensation for the merger transaction, (3) consequential damages in an amount proven at trial, (4) interest commencing from the date of breach, (5) punitive and exemplary damage, (6) recoverable attorneys’ fees and (7) any other relief.

Except as noted above, there are no other proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

The Company offers flight insurance to its customers at different levels of coverage. The Company is self-insured and has not accrued a reserve against potential loss.

5.  Net loss per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, warrants, and convertible debentures using the treasury stock method.

Business Summary

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pet Airways, Inc. operates an airline designed specifically for the comfortable and safe transportation of pets by traveling in the main cabin of the aircraft. Pet owners can book their pets on flights online at the Company’s website or can book with its agents by phone. Flights can be booked up to three months before the scheduled departure date. Payment for the flights is made with credit card. On the day of the scheduled flight, pet owners drop off their pets at one of the Company’s airport facilities located at the departure airport. The Company’s airport facilities are for the pets delivered for a flight and functions foremost as a staging, inspection, exchange and observation area for the Company’s staff and the pets under its care pending there flight departure or scheduled layover. The Company places the pet passengers into a pet-friendly carrier and then boards the carrier into the main cabin of the aircraft. Pet passengers fly in the main cabin of the specially-outfitted aircraft rather than, as is the case for a traditional commercial airline, flying in the cargo bay or flying as carry-on baggage placed under a passenger’s seat. The Company carries domesticated animals. The number of pets carried per flight can vary based on the size of pet, but generally the Company can carry around 40 pets per flight. Historically, the Company carries mainly dogs and cats. The Company can carry pets of all sizes from small dogs and cats weighing less than 15 lbs. to dogs that weigh 180 lbs. and have maximum height from the ground to shoulder of 34 inches. After drop off, pet owners can track flight progress through the Company’s website. Throughout the flight, the air quality and temperature of the aircraft are monitored ensuring that the pet passengers are safe and comfortable at all times. The Company has a pet attendant on each flight that is responsible for monitoring the pet passengers during the flight. Upon arrival at the destination airport, pet passengers are unloaded from the plane directly into one of the Company’s airport facilities for pick up.

The Company does not own its own aircraft. The Company has a relationship with Suburban Air Freight, Inc. based in Omaha, Nebraska who has two Beechcraft 1900 aircraft configured to carry a maximum weight limit of approximately 5,400 lbs. of pets. The Company relies on Suburban Air to provide the aircraft, pilot and ensure the aircraft complies with all appropriate FAA regulations. The Company does not have a written agreement with Suburban Air however under the non-written agreement, provides the aircraft, pilot, ensures the aircraft complies with all appropriate FAA regulations and operates the flights according to the Company’s schedule. The Company flies one aircraft on its coast-to-coast service.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company served the following nine markets and airports in the United States and offered  scheduled coast-to-coast service.

With the exception of Omaha, we are either a tenant or a sub-tenant of the respective airport authority.

In addition to Pet Airways operations, the Company evaluates additional pet related products and services that it could add to broaden its product offering. These may include the sale of non-transportation related pet products and services such as pet foods, pet supplements, pet toys, pet clothing and medical services for pets.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will add non-transportation related pet products and services to its business or that if it does, that it will be successful.

Outlook

The Company believes that the market for its pet transportation service is large and continues to grow. The cost of aircraft operation, including pilot use and jet fuel, and the cost of lounge space, along with certain external conditions such as weather and government regulations, are all conditions which may affect the Company’s ability to execute its business plan. The Company believes that it is currently the only airline specifically designed for the comfortable, efficient transportation of pets and, as such, it does not believe that it faces any direct competition from other pet-only airlines. The Company does, however, face competition from other transportation providers and pet care services, including traditional commercial airlines, ground transportation services, pet concierge services, boarding facilities, and pet sitters. Some of these competitors have substantially greater market share and financial resources than the Company. The Company has found that certain potential customers view the small size and limited financial resources of the Company as a negative even if they prefer the Company’s services to those of its larger competitors. Based on the Company’s current revenues and the size of the pet transportation market, the Company believes that it has a market share of less than 1 percent.

The Company’s primary strategic objective is to strengthen its position in the market for pet travel and generate a substantial increase in revenue over the next 12 months. The Company plans to achieve this objective by continuing to enhance the value of its brand, increasing the number of cities that it services and the number of aircraft that it operates, and developing new services in its airport facilities. The Company believes that its near-term success will depend particularly on its ability to increase customer adoption of its pet transportation services. Since the Company has limited capital resources, it will need to closely manage its expenses and conserve its cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. The Company believes that key risks include overall economic conditions and the overall level of travel spending, economic and business conditions within its target customer sector, its ability to expand its services, both to additional cities and within the cities it already services, competitive factors in its industry, and its ability to raise the capital necessary to grow its business. The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that it operates in a niche market, that it has limited financial resources, and continues to face an uncertain economic environment. Accordingly, the Company may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of interim 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the interim financial statements, the Company utilized available information, including its past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving appropriate consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of the Company’s results of operations to other companies in its industry. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and estimation, or are fundamentally important to its business.

There have been no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue
 
Revenue increased $221,634 or 62%, to $577,691 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $356,057 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is due to higher average ticket prices, more ticket sales and an increase in the number of pets flown per flight.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue decreased $(226,931), or 38%, to $363,940 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $590,871 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of revenue is primarily the result of flying fewer scheduled flights in the 2011 period compared to the 2010 period.

Gross Profit (Loss)
 
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $213,751, against a gross loss of $(234,814) over the same period in 2010.  The gross profit resulted from an increase in the number of pets flown per flight and higher average ticket prices. The Company also flew fewer flights in the three months ended September 30, 2011 resulting in a lower cost of revenue.

Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses decreased $ 961,950 or 52% %, to $ 900,278 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,862,228 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The operating expense decrease is primarily due to lower stock compensation expenses to a non-employee.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense), net increased by $7,158,433  to $7,084,729 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due mainly due to derivative warrant valuation income of $7,166,847.

(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes
 
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset as net operating losses are anticipated for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Net Loss
 
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $6,398,202 or $8,568,948 higher than the net loss of $(2,170,746) for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a derivate warrant valuation adjustment of $7,166,847, lower stock compensation expenses to a non –employee of $843,750 and an improvement in gross margin of $448,565.

Revenue
 
Revenue increased $616,856 or 71%, to $1,489,450 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $872,954 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is due primarily to increased ticket sales and a higher number of pets flown per flight.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue increased $365,916, or 31%, to $1,530,393 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,164,477 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to more flights being flown in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Gross Loss
 
Gross loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $(40,943) compared to a loss of $(291,883) from the same period in 2010.  The gross loss decrease is due to higher flight occupancy in the 2011 period compared the 2010 period.

Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses increased $513,756 or 23%, to $2,788,149 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,274,393 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to higher compensation costs from increased staffing levels to support operations, occupancy costs, public company reporting and, to a lesser extent, aggregate spending associated with marketing activities, travel and information systems support. In March 2010, flight operations were suspended until early June 2010 pending the receipt of financing. During this period, operating expenses were curtailed by reductions in staffing, compensation and related expenses and restriction on spending for all but essential discretionary items.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Other income (expense), net increased by $(6,732,934) to $(6,813,226) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to derivative warrant valuation expenses of $(5,673,102), $(571,122) on the loss on the extinguishment of the $250,000 debenture, debt discount amortization of $(155,439) and accelerated amortization of $(325,399) debt discount to interest expense resulting from the conversion of aggregate $525,000 principal amount convertible debentures and interest payable on the outstanding convertible debentures settled in shares of common stock in lieu of cash.
 
(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes
 
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset as net operating losses are anticipated for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net Loss
 
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $(9,642,316) or $(6,995,748) higher than the net loss of $(2,646,568) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net loss is primarily due to higher gross loss, operating expenses, derivative warrant valuation expense of $(5,673,012), the $(571,122) loss on the extinguishment of the $250,000 debenture in the period, the amortization and accelerated amortization of $(471,129) of debt discount to interest expense and interest payable on the outstanding convertible debentures settled in shares of common stock in lieu of cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2011, the Company had $23,805 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $1,511,057 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,899,599 and $1,280,417 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cash use for the 2011 period is due primarily to net loss resulting from flight operations for the 2011 period and the reduction of payable balances offset by the non-cash charges from the derivative valuation expense, loss on the extinguishment of the $250,000 debentures, amortization and write off of the derivative liability debt discount and settlement of liabilities with equity to non-employees.

Net cash used in investing activities was $87,653 and $37,747 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cash used for the 2011 period is due primarily to upgrades to the reservation system enhancements and additions to office and pet lounge furnishings and the build out for the San Jose administrative offices and pet airport facilities, respectively.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $500,000 and $1,520,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cash provided for the 2011 period is due to proceeds of the issuance of 2,253,470 shares of common stock for $500,000 from the Socius CG II, Ltd. financing (See Socius CG II, Ltd. Agreement below).

The Company did not have any material non-cancelable purchase commitments for capital expenditures or contingencies out of the ordinary course of business accrued at September 30, 2011.

Socius CG II, Ltd. Agreement

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Socius CG II, Ltd. (“Socius”) on June 3, 2011, pursuant to which it secured $500,000 of immediate funding through the issuance and sale of 2,253,470 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 20,476,707 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.02 (subject to anti-dilution adjustment).  In addition, Socius agreed to purchase up to an additional $5 million in non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) from us over the next two years, subject to the Company meeting certain conditions.

In connection with the above transaction, the Company recorded a net charge to operations of $5,673,103, which represents $14,333,695, the value of the warrants on June 3, 2011, less a charge of $470,000 to additional paid in capital, and an adjustment of $8,190,682 to reflect the value of the derivative warrant liability on September 30, 2011.

Equity, Convertible Debentures and Warrant Transactions

The Company has utilized equity, convertible debentures, and warrants to settle certain liabilities and secure services to conserve cash, fund operations and for financing.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 2,253,470 shares of common stock to Socius for $500,000 in cash and a $5 million equity line of credit, 1,800,000 shares of common stock to two firms in settlement of $1,260,000 financing consulting fees, 1,300,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of aggregate $525,000 principal amount of convertible debentures, 197,484 shares of common stock in settlement of $298,824 in service cost provided by non-employees, and 189,392 shares of common stock in lieu of cash for interest of $230,505 for convertible debentures.

In connection with the June 2011 private placement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 20,476,707 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1. 02. The warrant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model at $0.70 and $0.65 per share at June 3, 2011 and June 30, 2011 respectively. The Company recorded a net charge to operations of $5,673,053 and a charge to additional paid in capital of $470,000.  The value of the derivative warrant liability is $6,143,013 at September 30, 2011. In connection with this transaction the Company recorded deferred financing fees of $427,073.

On June 3, 2011, the Company issued a $350,000 principal amount convertible debenture with a warrant in exchange for a $250,000 debenture. As a result the convertible debenture beneficial conversion feature and warrant fair value of $342,632 and $481,259 were charged to derivative liability debt discount and loss on extinguishment of debt, respectively.

On January 4, 2011, the Company issued a warrant with an exercise price of $1.00 for the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.50 per share using the Black Scholes option pricing model, or $150,000, as settlement of services rendered by non-employee in 2010.

On February 4, 2011, the Company issued a warrant with an exercise price of $1.00 purchase of 16,575 shares of common stock valued at $1.15 per share using the Black Scholes option pricing model, or $19,061, as settlement of services rendered by non-employee in 2010.

On June 3, 2011, the Company recorded $83,786 to APIC for legal, accounting and printing expenses related to the Socius agreement and stock registration statement filing with the SEC.

On June 30, 2011, the Company elected to issue 43,800 shares of common stock valued, using the closing stock price, at $28,469 in lieu of cash to satisfy the interest payable at July 1, 2011.

On August 18, 2011, the Company issued 1,126,735 shares of common stock as compensation to Socius for investment services related to the financing noted above and recorded a deferred financing fee of $371,823

On August 19, 2011, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock as compensation to Corporate Profile LLC for investor relations services and recorded an expense of $41,250.

On August 26, 2011, the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock as compensation to Intellicell Bioscience, Inc. for license fees and recorded an expense of $82,500.

On September 30, 2011, the Company elected to issue 50,557 shares of common stock valued, using the closing stock price, at $15,179 in lieu of cash to satisfy the interest payable at October 1, 2011.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options, warrants for purchase of common stock related to Socius, non-employees and the convertible debentures outstanding of 26,860,282 and 1,700,000 shares is $-0 and $850,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate $825,000 and $1,000,000 principal amount convertible debentures outstanding are convertible into 1,650,000 and 2,250,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

Financings

The Company does not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. The Company will need to complete additional financing transactions in order to continue operations beyond the next twelve months. The Company will need approximately $3 million over the next 12 months to execute its business plan. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $40,000 in cash on hand. The Company estimates that it will be able to satisfy its cash requirements for approximately 1-2 months based upon an expected net burn rate that is projected cash inflows less projected cash outflows of approximately $25,000-$35,000 per month absent additional financing. Financing transactions, if any, may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms.  Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to generate sufficient revenues, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of the Company’s common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may have to significantly curtail or suspend its operations.

On June 3, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Socius CG II, Ltd. (“Socius”), pursuant to which the Company secured $500,000 of immediate funding through the issuance and sale to Socius of 2,253,470 shares of the Company’s common stock (such shares being the “Initial Purchase Shares” and such purchase being the “Initial Purchase”). In connection therewith, (i) the Company also issued to Socius a warrant to purchase 20,476,707 shares of common stock, and (ii) Socius agreed to purchase from the Company up to $5.0 million (the “Aggregate Preferred Stock Purchase Price”) of the Company’s newly created perpetual and non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $10,000, in one or more tranches (each a “Preferred Tranche”).  The Preferred Stock participates with the common stock in any dividends or distributions or change of control transactions as further described herein.  In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue an additional 1,126,735 shares of common stock to Socius on the 75 day anniversary of the Initial Purchase as consideration for executing and delivering the Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment Shares”). The Commitment Shares shall not be issued to Socius and shall be held in abeyance (and selling security holder shall not have the right to, or be deemed to have, beneficial ownership of such Commitment Shares) to the extent that such issuance would result in Socius and its affiliates owning or being deemed the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding common stock.  The warrant also does not permit issuance of common stock thereunder to the extent that such issuance would result in selling security holder and its affiliates owning or being deemed the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding common stock.  All of the foregoing was effectuated without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. These securities may not be transferred or sold absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, from time to time over the two-years following the Initial Purchase, beginning on August 17, 2011, at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may sell to Socius, and Socius will be obligated to purchase, shares of the Preferred Stock.  In order to effectuate such a sale, the Company will issue to Socius, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement (all of which conditions are outside of the selling security holder’s control) one or more Preferred Tranche notices to purchase a certain dollar amount of such Preferred Stock (each such notice, a “Preferred Notice”).  Upon receipt of a Preferred Notice, Socius will be obligated, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement (which conditions are outside of Socius’ control), to purchase the Preferred Stock subject to such Preferred Notice on the 10th trading day after the date of the Preferred Notice.  Such conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the Common Stock must be listed for trading or quoted on a trading exchange or market, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement must be true and correct as if made on the date of each Preferred Notice (subject, however, to the Company’s ability to update disclosure exceptions to such representations and warranties through the Company’s SEC reports), (iii) the Company must not be in breach or default of the Purchase Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection therewith (the “Transaction Documents”), or any other material agreement of the Company, (iv) there shall have occurred no material adverse effect involving the Company or its business, operations or financial condition since the date of the Initial Purchase, (v) the absence of any law or judicial action prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or any lawsuit seeking to prohibit or adversely affect such transactions, and (vi) all necessary governmental, regulatory or third party approvals and consents must have been obtained. The maximum amount of each Preferred Tranche is limited to a dollar amount of Preferred Stock equal to the lesser of (a) 20% of the cumulative dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the 10 trading day-period immediately preceding the applicable Preferred Notice date and (b) $5.0 million less the amount of any previously noticed and funded Preferred Tranches. In addition, each Preferred Notice after the first Preferred Notice may not be given sooner than the trading day after the date on which the closing for the prior Preferred Tranche has occurred.

On June 3, 2011, in connection with the private placement transaction, the Company issued to Socius a five-year warrant to purchase 20,476,707 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.02 per share (the “Original Exercise Price”). The warrant is also exercisable on a cashless basis or through the issuance by the holder of a secured promissory note. Any secured promissory note issued in connection with an exercise of the warrant shall bear interest at 2% per year calculated on a simple interest basis. The entire principal balance and interest thereon shall be due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of the secured promissory note. Any such secured promissory note shall be secured by the borrower’s right, title and interest in certain securities held in the portfolio of the borrower with a fair market value equal to the principal amount of the secured promissory note. Additionally, any portion of the warrant may also be exchanged for shares of common stock based on a Black-Scholes calculation as more fully set forth in the warrant. The warrant contains certain provisions that protect against dilution in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events. In addition, the warrant has price-based anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issues securities at a value less than the Original Exercise Price, meaning the exercise price of the warrant would be adjusted down to the lowest applicable issuance price following the issuance of the warrant to prevent dilution to the holder.  Pursuant to the warrant, any such anti-dilution adjustments shall be made on a pro-rata basis until such time as the Company has made dilutive issuances which exceed $5.0 million. The warrant shall not be exercisable or exchangeable by the holder (or any future holder) to the extent the holder (or such future holder) or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock as a result of such exercise or exchange.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sales of common stock by Socius. However, the Company will receive the exercise price, if the cashless exercise feature, the full-recourse note exercise feature or the exchange feature is not used, upon exercise of the warrants by Socius. If the cashless exercise feature or the full recourse note feature is used or if the warrant is exchanged, in whole or in part, for shares of common stock, the Company will not receive any cash proceeds. The maximum amount of proceeds that we may receive from the exercise of the warrant is $20,886,241. There is no guarantee, however, that Socius will exercise for cash. The Company will require approximately $3,000,000 of additional working capital to continue its operations during the next 12 months and to support its long-term growth strategy, so as to enhance its service offerings and benefit from economies of scale. The Company expects its working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, to vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business and competition in the markets it serves. The Company may seek additional funding through one or more credit facilities, if available, or through the sale of debt or additional equity securities. However, the terms of the Company’s June 3, 2011 private placement transaction place restrictions on its ability to consummate any such additional financing without the consent of the investor.  There is no assurance that Socius would consent to such a transaction or if funding of any type would be available to the Company, or that it would be available at rates and on terms and conditions that would be financially acceptable and viable to the Company in the long term. If the Company is unable to raise any necessary additional financing when needed, under the terms of the June 3, 2011 private placement or otherwise, it may be required to suspend operations, sell assets or enter into a merger or other combination with a third party, any of which could adversely affect the value of its common stock, or render it worthless. If the Company issues additional debt or equity securities, such securities may enjoy rights, privileges and priorities (including but not limited to coupon rates, conversion rights, rights to fixed or preferential dividends, anti-dilution rights or preference as to the distribution of assets upon a liquidation) superior to those enjoyed by holders of its common stock, thereby diluting the value of its common stock.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient liquidity from operations or raise additional financing on acceptable terms, the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition could be adversely affected, and we may be required to significantly reduce its operations, including but not limited to terminating or suspending all operations and reorganizing or liquidating the Company.

Non-Cash Expense Items

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company continued to minimize cash usage and seek out additional equity financings for working capital purposes while using equity for the settlement of services rendered in lieu of cash and general corporate purposes. The Company also issued shares of common stock in lieu of cash for interest payments on debentures. A significant portion of the equity issuances resulted in non-cash settlements of liabilities that are included in the net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Additionally, other transactions and events occurred in which significant non-cash expense arose due to the nature of those occurrences.

The following table summarizes the non-cash expense items, total amount and percentage of the Company’s net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, subject to the inherent limitations noted in this Part II, Item 4 as of September 30, 2011 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our management, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of September 30, 2011:

(1) we do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions;

(2) we have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, account reconciliations and approval and the performance of bank reconciliations;

(3) we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by reliance on third-party experts and/or consultants and insufficient accounting staff;

(4) we do not have a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls, approvals and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2011  that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation that occur in connection with its business. The Company routinely assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest available information and, when necessary, seeks input from its third-party advisors when making these assessments. Consistent with SEC rules and requirements, described below are material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business), material proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, other proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental laws and regulations (including governmental proceedings involving potential fines, penalties, or other monetary sanctions in excess of $10,000) and such other pending matters that we may determine to be appropriate.

On June 23, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of The State of California, County of Santa Clara against Evan Bines and Alpine Capital Partners, Inc., for (a) breach of an oral contract and (b) negligent misrepresentation from the breach of a contract to provide at least $2 million in financing for the Company conditional upon the Company completing a reverse merger with a public entity. The Company is asking the court in a jury trial for judgment against Evan Bines and Alpine Capital Partners, Inc. for (1) compensatory damages in an amount proven at trial, (2) the return of all unearned shares in the merged entity (now known as The PAWS Pet Company, Inc.) as compensation for the merger transaction, (3) consequential damages in an amount proven at trial, (4) interest commencing from the date of breach, (5) punitive and exemplary damage, (6) recoverable attorneys’ fees and (7) any other relief.

Except as noted above, there are no other proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to its interest.

As of September 30, 2011, there were no other claims, actions, pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations.
