Table of Contents
CALPIAN, INC.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we will refer to Calpian Inc. as Calpian Company, we, us and our. Calpian was incorporated in 2006. The Companys $.001 par value common stock (Common Stock) trades on the OTCQB® under the symbol CLPI.OB.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we are in the business of acquiring recurring monthly residual income streams derived from credit card processing fees paid by retail stores in the United States (residual portfolios). Small and medium-sized retail merchants typically buy their credit card processing and acquiring services from Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) in the U.S. ISOs are sales agents authorized by contract with one or more credit card processors to sell processing and acquiring services on their behalf. ISOs shepherd the merchants application for processing and acquiring services through the labyrinth of approvals, credit checks, guarantees, etc. that are required before the merchant can be approved to accept consumer credit cards for payment. We act not as a credit card processor, but simply as a purchaser of revenue streams resulting from the relationships between processors and ISOs and other ISOs. In addition, we may also seek to acquire servicing rights with respect to residual portfolios acquired from ISOs.
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE
The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes of Calpian, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments and information (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
The year-end Balance Sheet data was derived from the Companys audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Development Stage / Going Concern Uncertainty
During 2010, the Company was in the development stage with no revenues from operations. Accordingly, all of the Companys operating results and cash flows reported in the accompanying financial statements for 2010 represent the amounts from its development stage activities reported pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915-10-05, Development Stage Entities.
The Company has accumulated deficits totaling of approximately $3.3 million since inception (May 30, 2006). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and is dependent upon the Companys ability to establish itself as a profitable business. Due to the start-up nature of the Companys business, the Company expects to incur additional losses as it expands. To date, the Companys cash flow requirements have been primarily met through debt and equity financings; however, there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available to the Company going forward. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, there were no new accounting pronouncements issued that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
6
Table of Contents
Cash and Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers amounts held by financial institutions and short-term investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and equivalents.
Residual Portfolios Acquired
Residual portfolios acquired represent our investment in recurring monthly residual income streams derived from credit card processing fees paid by retail stores in the United States. Such residual portfolios are acquired for long-term investment and are expected to be held-to-maturity defined as a point where cash flows generated by the portfolio are nominal. Although history within the industry indicates the cash flows from such residual income streams are reasonably predictable, at the point of acquisition, the Companys right to receive cash flows is predicated upon future purchases by consumers at merchants included in the portfolio we acquired.
The Company amortizes its investment in residual portfolios based upon the future expected cash flows derived on each individual portfolio acquired as each portfolio is underwritten separately and may reflect unique cash flow patterns. The future expected cash flow is re-evaluated periodically by the Company and the future amortization is adjusted prospectively in accordance with ASC 350, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. At September 30, 2011, the expected amortization period is between 10 and 12 years, and no residual value is likely.
Intangible Asset Acquired
The intangible asset acquired consists of the Calpian name and related trademark and domain name acquired from ART Holdings, Inc. (ART). The intangible asset has an indefinite life and is carried at cost and tested for impairment at least annually. No impairment was recorded for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Company does not engage in hedging activities and does not have any derivative instruments in place. The Company has no non-financial assets measured on a recurring basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We believe the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their estimated fair values at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, due to their short maturities. We believe the carrying value of our senior debt, note payable, and subordinated notes payable approximate the estimated fair value for debt with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its residual portfolios based upon actual cash receipts from residual portfolios acquired and advertising revenue in Transaction World Magazine based upon publication date.
Earnings per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC 260-10-55, Earnings per Share, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares Common Stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Such potentially dilutive securities consist of convertible preferred stock, non-vested restricted shares, and warrants.
7
Table of Contents
In calculating EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, no recognition was given to 23,836 potentially dilutive convertible preferred shares and 35,001 warrants. Due to the net loss applicable to common shareholders in both periods, such securities would have been anti-dilutive. In calculating EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2011, no recognition was given to warrants and options exercisable for 2,146,968 shares of our Common Stock. In calculating EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, no recognition was given to 23,836 potentially dilutive convertible preferred shares (outstanding only until May 27, 2011, when they automatically converted into 2,383,600 shares of Common Stock) and warrants and options exercisable for 2,146,968 shares of our Common Stock. Due to the net loss applicable to common shareholders in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, such securities would have been anti-dilutive.
In the event of stock dividends and stock splits, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in computing basic and fully diluted earning per share are adjusted retroactively for all periods presented.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences for financial and income tax reporting related to net operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. During each of the periods presented, the Company had no net tax provision, current or deferred.
Use of Estimates
The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Warrants and Options
Warrants and Options are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-10 Costs of an Equity Transaction. The Companys warrants are settled in physical delivery of unregistered shares. As such, the warrants are recorded upon issuance as permanent equity at fair value based upon a valuation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized.
Transaction World Magazine
Due to its strategic value in marketing the Company to the ISO community, we intend to maintain an administrative support, marketing, and advertising relationship with Transaction World Magazine and have agreed to fund all of the magazines expenses, net of advertising revenue, beginning in March 2011. Such expenses averaged approximately $22,500 per month from March through September 30, 2011. Transaction World Magazine, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART. Harold Montgomery and Craig Jessen, both directors, executive officers, and controlling shareholders of Calpian, are founders, controlling shareholders, directors, and executive officers of ART. As such, these financial statements include the revenue and expenses of Transaction World Magazine, the non-owned but wholly-controlled entity.
(3) RESIDUAL PORTFOLIOS ACQUIRED
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company acquired residual portfolios in a series of transactions. In exchange for the right to receive cash in the form of residuals, the Company paid an aggregate of $3,967,499 in cash and issued an aggregate of 233,752 shares of Common Stock valued at $706,834. Each of the transactions include customary terms including representations and warranties, covenants, confidentiality terms, indemnification provisions, and performance metrics ranging from 24 to 42 months. If the terms are not satisfied or the performance metrics are not achieved, the Company has the right to re-acquire all or a portion of the shares.

(4) NOTE PAYABLE
On June 3, 2011, the Company entered into a promissory note with a non-affiliated third party in the amount of $33,234 to finance premiums for its directors and officers insurance. The note bears an interest rate of 7.0% per annum, and provides for payments of $3,801 per month through March 2012.
(5) LONG-TERM DEBT
Subordinated Debt
On December 31, 2010, the Company issued $1,550,000 of subordinated notes payable in two separate private placement transactions, a $3 Million Subordinated Debt Offering and a $2 Million Subordinated Debt Offering, each exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D. In July 2011, the Company issued an additional $1.0 million of such subordinated notes payable. The notes are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Companys assets, but will be subordinated to any thereafter-created senior debt. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% annually, paid monthly in arrears, and all principal is due between October 2012 and July 2013. Holders of the notes received warrants of either 50% or 30% of the face amount of the notes they acquired, depending upon the timing of their commitment and funding. See additional discussion of the warrants under Note (6) Capital Stock, herein.
In connection with the December 2010 and July 2011 issuances of the subordinated notes payable, we issued to holders of the subordinated debt warrants to acquire up to 1,082,500 shares of our $.001 par value common stock valued at $1,310,073 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Such amount has been treated as a discount to the subordinated debt and will be amortized over the period the subordinated debt remains outstanding. See additional information regarding the warrants under Note (6) Capital Stock, herein.
Acquisition Credit Facility
On April 28, 2011, the Company secured an $8.0 million senior secured credit facility from an unrelated lender to acquire residual portfolios. Pursuant to the credit facility, the Company borrowed $2.7 million on August 26, 2011, and can borrow the remainder in up to three additional draws on or before August 26, 2012. When drawn, the promissory notes carry an interest rate of 16%. Interest only is paid monthly in arrears and all principal is due within 24 months of closing, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. The credit facility includes up to a 4% prepayment penalty if amounts borrowed are repaid within the first 12 months, and is secured by a first lien on all current and after acquired assets of the Company. The Company paid to the lender origination and commitment fees totaling $280,000, paid the lender and third parties administrative fees and expenses totaling $43,639, and issued the lender warrants to acquire up to 804,467 shares of its Common Stock at $1.00 per share. The warrants, valued at $2,011,168 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, were recorded as a part of the Deferred Financing Costs on the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011, and are being amortized over the 24-month life of the underlying credit facility. The warrants expire in five years and shares acquired by exercise of the warrants have piggy back registration rights. The credit facility also contains representations, warranties, conditions, confidentiality terms, indemnification provisions and covenants that are typical for this type of credit facility, including that the Company maintain minimum cash balances and EBITDA amounts and generate minimum revenue, each measured monthly. The lender has indicated a willingness to expand the credit facility under circumstances yet to be determined.

Business Overview
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we are in the business of acquiring recurring monthly residual income streams derived from credit card processing fees paid by retail stores in the United States (residual portfolios). Small and medium-sized retail merchants typically buy their credit card processing and acquiring services from Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) in the U.S. ISOs are sales agents authorized by contract with one or more credit card processors to sell processing and acquiring services on their behalf. ISOs shepherd the merchants application for processing and acquiring services through the labyrinth of approvals, credit checks, guarantees, etc. that are required before the merchant can be approved to accept consumer credit cards for payment. We act not as a credit card processor, but simply as a purchaser of revenue streams resulting from the relationships between processors and ISOs and other ISOs. In addition, we may also seek to acquire servicing rights with respect to residual portfolios acquired from ISOs.
Our purchases of residual portfolios are expected to range in size and complexity from one-time events involving a single portfolio to multiple events over an extended period covering the entire current and possibly future portfolios of an ISO. Our aim is to acquire merchant residual portfolios by acquiring them directly from the ISOs that originated the contracts with the merchants. In a residual portfolio purchase, we buy the rights to the residual revenue streams owned by the ISO for a negotiated amount. Prior to acquisition of the residual portfolio from the ISO, our Company and the ISO notify the processor that we plan to acquire the rights to the residual portfolio and that all future residual payments should be paid to us. Processors are required to approve all such acquisitions as a condition of closing.

Table of Contents
The Company advertises in industry trade journals to inform the ISO industry of its acquisition capabilities, including Transaction World Magazine (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART), and underwrites each potential deal using its own internal processes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In 2010, we raised approximately $3.9 million in net proceeds from the private placement of preferred shares and subordinated debt, and proceeds were used to acquire residual portfolios and for general working capital.
On April 28, 2011, the Company secured an $8.0 million senior secured credit facility from an unrelated lender to acquire residual portfolios, and the lender has indicated a willingness to expand the credit facility under circumstances yet to be determined.
In July 2011, we issued an additional $1.0 million in subordinated debt offered under the $3 Million Subordinated Debt Offering to fund additional acquisitions of residual portfolios.
The Company expects to use the $8.0 million credit facility and the additional $1.0 million in subordinated debt to acquire additional residual portfolios, which the Company anticipates will generate sufficient cash flow to sustain its operations for the foreseeable future. Though we are in discussions with multiple parties to acquire additional residual portfolios, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to complete such acquisitions on terms it deems acceptable.
Near-term Liquidity
The use of proceeds from the issuance of subordinated debt and borrowings under the credit facility are limited to acquiring residual portfolios, and are not available for general working capital. Cash inflows from existing residual portfolios acquired in 2011 and prior total approximately $300,000 per month. At September 30, 2011, monthly cash expenses totaled approximately $225,000 per month thus causing the Company to be cash flow positive on an operating basis.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Risks Relating to Our Business, contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011, and in our registration statement on Form 10, filed with the SEC on May 27, 2010, as most recently amended on October 13, 2010, and elsewhere in this document. See Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements above.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
Cash and Equivalents
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company used cash proceeds from the December 2010 and July 2011 closings of subordinated debt, borrowings under the credit facility, and other funds on hand to acquire additional residual portfolios causing the Company to become cash flow positive on an operating basis.

Accrued Expenses Payable to Officers, Directors, and Affiliates
Such expenses include:
| $160,120 payable to ART, of which Messrs. Montgomery and Jessen are controlling shareholders, directors, and officers, for providing the Company during its startup period with office space and certain support services including telecommunications, health and life insurance benefits, rent, and general office expenses. Beginning in February 2011, the Company started paying all such expenses except life insurance directly to the applicable vendors. As such, the increase of $51,420 since December 31, 2010, reflects an additional nine months of life insurance and one month of the remaining expense items. |
| $5,173 payable to officers, directors and their affiliates in the form of accumulated expense reports seeking reimbursement for service fees, travel and entertainment, and similar expenses paid on behalf of the Company and $130,500 advisory fees payable to Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC (CMCP), a merchant bank owned and controlled by Mr. Laird Cagan, a member of the Companys Board of Directors and a significant shareholder of the Company. |

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no changes during the quarter in managements assessment of the market risk we face in our operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, as and when required.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2011, that materially affected, either positively or negatively, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures provide the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with reasonable assurances that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, the Companys management does not expect that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures or the Companys internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within the Companys company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.
