ITEM 2.01   COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On December 30, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Nuvel DE pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization effected by a share exchange. Nuvel DE is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.  

OUR CORPORATE STRUCTURE

The Company is a Florida corporation incorporated on October 19, 2009. Following the acquisition of Nuvel DE, Nuvel DE became our direct wholly-owned subsidiary effective on December 30, 2011.

The Company used to conduct its operations through a sole operating subsidiary, Harmony Metals Design, Inc., a Florida corporation, which was incorporated on June 17, 2010. On February 1, 2012, the Company assigned to Sahej Holdings, Inc. all of the outstanding shares of Harmony Metals Design, Inc. that it owned pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Harmony Metals Design, Inc. therefore ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company then.

The following diagram sets forth the structure of the Company as of the date of this Report herein:

Products Offerings
 
Our principal product offerings are the following:

Nuvel WAN acceleration and optimization

The Company designs, develops, markets, and sells Internet acceleration applications and management solutions which include specialized software tools that are purpose-built to accelerate and optimize the flow of information over the Internet. Our products improve response time for Internet users and provide network administrators and managers a high degree of control over the access, flow and delivery of Internet content. Our products work in conjunction with Caching technologies to reduce the number of redundant requests for information that must be processed and delivered, thus reducing the load on the Internet and corporate networks. We have developed an innovative and comprehensive solution that broadly addresses the inter-related root causes of poor performance of wide-area distributed computing: latency and protocol inefficiencies, and bandwidth limitations. By simultaneously addressing these causes, we are able to improve significantly the performance of applications and access to data across WANs and enable the consolidation of costly IT infrastructure.

Network Data Tunnel (“NDT”)

Our purpose-built Network Data Tunnel application is designed from inception for high-performance WAN acceleration. Our NDT application provides high data throughput and reduced latency, or the time between initiating a request for data and the completion of the actual data transfer. Our application simultaneously retrieves numerous objects from the origin server. In many cases, our solution offers upward of 10 times to 150 times speed improvement. Our products are designed for easy installation and maintenance, reducing the costs and time required for implementation and use. Network managers at Internet service providers (“ISPs”) and enterprises generally install our application on their existing servers. In many cases, our Network Data Tunnel can be installed in under ten minutes. All of our products provide customers with a range of management features, functions, user interfaces and modes of operation. In addition, our application solutions are designed to efficiently interact with our customers' existing networking equipment. By accelerating the transfer of data, especially in longer distance (Hops), enterprises and ISPs employing our Network Data Tunnel require less network capacity and can reduce data transmission costs. Our customers better utilize the capacity of their existing network and are able to move data far more efficiently and quickly. The need for enterprises engaged in e-commerce to purchase additional servers could be reduced since our Network Data Tunnel eliminates a significant amount of traffic that could otherwise overload their existing servers, requiring incremental server capacity. Our NDT products also help to improve the productivity of Internet users by reducing web response time. Faster downloading of web content increases productivity and end-user satisfaction. Our applications run on existing customer-deployed data center equipment, which means that it is designed to be less vulnerable to unauthorized entry than the deployment of new hardware or dedicated appliances. The Network Data Tunnel Solution was designed specifically for WAN acceleration. In addition, NDT employs authentication and filtering capabilities that prohibit unauthorized users from accessing or penetrating the application by adhering to the clients’ security protocols.

NDT Packaging

Enterprise Edition  (Available in 50Mbps, 100Mbps & 1Gbps)

The Nuvel Network Data Tunnel Enterprise Edition is focused on the larger corporate bandwidth customers looking to move time sensitive and very large data sets. The Enterprise Edition is available in three options based on bandwidth.

Mobile Application Products

vSOS Emergency Response Service

vSOS is an emergency response application on mobile and tablet platforms that provides you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week emergency response in North America, South America, and Europe, through a dedicated International Emergency Response Coordination Center whenever and wherever you need it. vSOS is available as a free application where the user can send SMS or email to up to 5 contacts you've identified in your profile. Upgrade to the GEOS International Emergency Response Service is available for $12.99/month. Family Plans are also available for less than $5.00 per user/mo. The GEOS emergency response is available 24 hours 7 days a week in 101 countries. vSOS is a personal mobile emergency system. A user simply needs to hold the vSOS button for 3 seconds and it automatically contacts the International Emergency Response Center with the user’s current location and the user’s private profile information. They take over coordinating the appropriate response to the user’s emergency.

vSOS is currently available for download from iTunes and Android Marketplace.  It will be available for download on the Blackberry App World by the end of the first quarter of 2012. The monthly subscription service is available through these stores but we also offer various other plans like the Family Plan and other yearly plans from our web site and our partner’s web sites. We are in discussions with a variety of channel partners, handset manufacturers and wireless companies exploring private label opportunities with them. We are also discussing these opportunities with companies for foreign distribution.

Distracted Driver Application

This application that Nuvel developed prevents the use of a mobile phone while the user is driving in a vehicle therefore giving the driver their full attention to the task at hand. In order to prevent the use of the mobile phone, when the speed gets over 8 mph, all distracting signals, visual (pop-ups or flashes), auditory (beeps, pings, rings) and kinesthetic (vibrations) will be disabled while the mobile phone is in motion. This application will be purchased and controlled primarily by parents and we suspect that the teenagers that have such application on their phones will try and delete it or disable it. We counter any efforts to have the application deleted or disabled and a notice or alert will be sent to the parents or insurance companies when this happens.

Technologies

Our products are based on three core technologies:

WAN optimization

The new global enterprise is burdened with several challenges, which include a diverse workforce, multiple software applications and varying means of data access. Driven by an increasing demand for bandwidth to reliably and effectively support remote offices, the need for a better-functioning, faster, cheaper, and easier to implement and use WAN solution, has never been greater. Hardware-based application acceleration and WAN optimization solutions available today address only a part of the problem faced by the modern global enterprises. What these traditional solutions do not address are the needs for ease of deployment, ease of use and operation, better economics and fit for purpose – crucial requirements of modern businesses. The hardware approach to WAN optimization requires numerous costly and complex appliances resulting in geometrically multiplying hardware, operations and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the “optimization in hardware” approach results in other undesirable characteristics that include costly and often delayed upgrades, and significant staff and time commitments to provide, manage and maintain complex installations of appliances. Our WAN optimization products are deployed by our customers throughout their network infrastructures to improve the performance of their networks and reduce network costs, while enhancing network security. Our customers include large and small ISPs, large corporate enterprises and small and medium size businesses in industries such as finance, engineering, professional services, manufacturing, media, healthcare, utilities, telecom, retail, and technology. These companies purchase our products in order to improve the performance of their networks and to accelerate and optimize the delivery of content to other companies or end-users over the Internet. Our WAN optimization products are designed to help distributed enterprises optimize the transferring of data both internally and externally.

Compared with the traditional WAN optimization solutions, our WAN optimization and acceleration technology provides key capabilities that are designed to optimize the delivery of data to users across the distributed enterprise, and to customers.  As compared to traditional solutions, the NDT gets up to 150X speed and is not bound by either point to point transmission or network equipment constraints including:

●    
Bandwidth management—the ability to assign a set level of bandwidth to specific users and applications and prioritize delivery of that traffic over the WAN;
●    
Protocol optimization—a technique that enhances the efficiency of protocols by reducing the communication required between the user and the application; and
●    
Compression—a technique that uses an industry standard algorithm to package and unpackage information for efficient transmission across the WAN.

The Network Data Tunnel enhances the performance of the TCP protocol by increasing the amount of data carried per TCP round trip, thereby reducing the number of round trips required to move a given amount of data over the WAN.

Enterprises and ISPs have varying capacity, reliability and data throughput needs, depending on the size and nature of their operations. We offer a wide range of products to meet different price, performance and reliability requirements, and provide an upgrade path to our customers as they expand their networks. Our products can be deployed in a variety of environments, ranging from small or remote network locations to large ISPs or enterprise headquarters.  Trying to Cache content closer to the user may increase network efficiency, but creates the risk that the content delivered is not up-to-date, or fresh. Network Data Tunnel avoids this by increasing the speed in which original content can be moved to the serving location. Unlike traditional software or hardware cache solutions that have no mechanisms to monitor and ensure freshness, our Network Data Tunnel can actively check the origin servers and update content through efficient and sophisticated algorithms.

Cloud Computing

Based on a model commonly known as “cloud computing,” we are releasing a revolutionary approach to WAN optimization and acceleration, and a fundamental architectural shift in the delivery of this solution. Instead of a WAN optimization Controller or a managed appliance model per customer, Nuvel is a true innovator in software-based WAN optimization, designed for an enterprise. It offers WAN optimization, as well as cost-effective, scalable and reliable connectivity between enterprise locations. Our revolutionary technology offers enterprises enhanced performance throughout their global network. With Nuvel, users can start with a network of any size, configuration and scale based on the organization’s demands. Users in branch offices or remote locations exchanging vital information with headquarters need a reliable and fast solution that can keep pace with the increasing demands.

Mobile Applications

We continue to deliver cutting-edge mobile applications on the most innovative platforms of smart phones and tablet devices. With more than 20 years of experience designing enterprise-grade software applications, our leadership team made substantial investments in research and development to build the best in class products for the top selling devices. Nuvel started with the iPhone and Android phones because of their dominance in market share and functionality and currently have Blackberry and Windows mobile applications under development. By the beginning of 2012, we plan to launch multiple products running on smart phones and soon thereafter launch on tablet devices. According to the Gartner Group, just under 500 million smart-phones were shipped in 2011 compared to 300 million units in 2010. Android phones will grow an estimated 40 percent in the second half of 2011. With the launch of the new iPhone and the increase in Android phones, we can take advantage of this exploding market with our innovative mobile products. Data is going mobile and moving to the Cloud. Nuvel is positioned to capitalize on these key areas of the industry.

Our personal safety application featuring advanced, patent-pending technology, provides users ranging from school age children to the elderly with the peace of mind that help for medical emergencies, personal safety and accidents is available with the push of a button.  Through its partnership with GEOS Alliance, Nuvel’s feature-rich application provides emergency response services in North America, South America, and Europe and soon in Asia. The vSOS subscription fee includes both the application and the personal emergency response services.
 
 
vSOS is designed to be the gold standard against which all mobile personal response applications are compared and has set itself apart from the competition with HIPAA compliance and the ability to input personal medical information such as allergies, health conditions, medications, etc.  This information is critical for first responders. For added value, the GEOS Search and Rescue (SAR) feature is included at no additional cost.   GEOS and the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) have been providing rescue coordination and other services internationally for years. The IERCC has operated in 101 countries accounting for nearly 4,000 rescue operations.
 
 
With the SAR feature, if the official emergency services need to be supplemented to ensure the user’s safety, the GEOS IERCC will authorize additional personnel and equipment (including private aircraft/helicopter charter, private search teams, etc.).  During the past 18 months, more than 400 lives have been saved as a result of the IERCC.
 
 
When an iPhone or Android phone is enhanced with vSOS, users send a distress alert simply by pressing down on the red vSOS emergency alert icon for three seconds.  This triggers the vSOS HIPAA-compliant server to automatically send a distress alert to the GEOS IERCC.  With the vSOS technology, the critical information is always stored on the HIPAA compliant servers and never resides on the phone. Leveraging advanced GPS technology, vSOS provides the user’s physical location to the first responders to guide emergency personnel.  Access to the user’s personalized health information and the user’s name, mobile phone number and address is also included with the alert.  In addition, vSOS will send a text or email message to alert up to five contacts (physicians, family, friends) listed in the user’s profile.

Sales and Marketing

Our objective is to be a leading provider of Internet acceleration and WAN optimization by delivering a high-performance, innovative Network Data Tunnel solution. Key elements of our strategy include applying our WAN acceleration focus to targeted market segments. Since our inception, we have focused on developing a software only WAN acceleration product line. We believe this focus helps us to rapidly identify and target attractive market opportunities. We are directing our product development, marketing and sales activities at specific market segments that we believe represent attractive opportunities based on a demonstrated need for WAN acceleration, the opportunity to sell to numerous customers and the level of existing competition. We focus on three market segments: service providers, enterprise proxy server replacement, and “Ground to Cloud.” We intend to use our customer relationships in these market segments to further penetrate these segments as well as other related markets.

We utilize a combination of our direct sales force, resellers, systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers as appropriate for each of our target markets. We will support our distribution channels with systems engineers and customer support personnel that provide technical service and support to our customers.
 
 
We intend to pursue relationships with additional resellers and original equipment manufacturers to implement our distribution strategy and to expand our customer base. We have also been expanding our sales force, and plan to continue to do so in the future. Our marketing efforts focus on increasing the market awareness of our products and technology and promoting the Nuvel brand. Our strategy is to create this awareness by distinguishing our products based on their high level of performance.

Broaden Distribution Channels

We intend to extend our distribution channels to meet the anticipated growth in demand for WAN acceleration. We plan to continue to expand both our direct and indirect sales channels in order to continue to extend our marketing reach and increase our volume distribution. In particular, we plan to enter into relationships with additional resellers, systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers to increase penetration of the enterprise and ISP markets.

Marketing Programs

We have a number of marketing programs to support the sale and distribution of our products and to inform existing and potential customers within our target market segments about the capabilities and benefits of our products. Our marketing efforts include participation in industry trade shows, sales training, maintenance of our website, on-line advertising and public relations. Affiliate programs and marketing efforts through them will be key for Nuvel’s growth going forward.

Our Business Strategy

We intend to establish Nuvel as the premier brand in the Internet acceleration and mobile applications markets. We believe that brand awareness is important to increase market acceptance of Network Data Tunnel and to identify us as a leading provider of WAN acceleration solutions. We also believe that it takes unique marketing programs and campaigns to make our mobile applications successful when competing with 500,000 other apps. The amount of noise and confusion in this market makes it very challenging. We intend to continue to educate customers, resellers, systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers about the value of implementing all of our current and future products. We believe a thorough process of explanation and education of our products will help to promote brand recognition and to further an overall acceptance and understanding of our solutions.

Industry Background

The Global Demand for Data

Organizations have become more geographically dispersed, and increasingly mobile workforces depend on access to data from remote locations and a variety of client devices such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants and notebook computers. In addition, we believe the growth of Internet usage will continue to be driven by new applications, such as “Web Services” and “Voice over IP”, the growth of mobile and broadband Internet access, and new usage and infrastructure models such as “cloud computing.” In conjunction with the growth of Internet traffic, the proliferation of data and, in particular, unstructured data such as voice, video, images, email, spreadsheets and formatted text files, presents an enormous and increasing challenge to IT organizations. Along with the growing volume of unstructured data that is business critical and must be retained and readily accessible to individuals and applications, new regulations mandate that company email, web pages and other files must be retained indefinitely.

Gartner, Inc. (“Gartner”), a leading technology information group, estimates the number of U.S. companies with remote offices in excess of 4 million and many indications are that the mobile workforce is here to stay. The increased demand for WAN acceleration is not just domestic but spans the globe. The good news for Nuvel is this means a growing dependence on the performance of every network, real-time access to data, anytime and anywhere.

The Internet is dramatically changing the way businesses and individuals communicate and conduct commerce. As a result, the increasing volume of Internet traffic is much more than just web surfing; it's big business. According to Gartner, the amount of data produced across the world will grow by 650 per cent over the next few years, and 80 per cent of it will be unstructured. The research firm adds that 40 exabytes of new data are expected over the next five years, which is greater than all the data of the past 5,000 years. With this rising volume of traffic, Internet and Intranet infrastructures are quickly reaching capacity. Slow response times and site outages due to heavy demand are common outcomes of these overburdened network infrastructures. For organizations that rely on the web for commerce and/or operational purposes, these problems can be expected to have a direct, adverse impact on both the top and bottom lines. In the past, sites that wanted to avoid these issues had few choices but to invest in more infrastructure--more servers, more network equipment, more staff and more data center space. Now, through the emergence of WAN acceleration technology, these sites can effectively address the problems of performance, scaling and management. WAN acceleration optimizes how content is delivered by accelerating it either direction. There are two primary types of WAN acceleration solutions: software-based solutions and hardware based groups. Software-based approaches consist of a software application running on a general-purpose operating system like Solaris, Linux or Windows. These systems offer superior flexibility. Hardware providers promote a singular design, simple install, but have been significantly overpriced for many companies. Much as network routing has evolved from a general-purpose to a purpose-built solution, so is WAN acceleration. The advantages of a specialized application are clear. When an application is designed to perform a dedicated task, it will perform that task more effectively than a multi-function alternative. The results of a proxy-based application approach to optimization are significant: reduced web response times, simpler administration and management, lower network and data center costs, higher reliability, robust data security and always-accurate content.

Increasingly Distributed Organizations and Workforces

Organizations are becoming more geographically distributed, placing operations closer to customers and partners to improve efficiency and responsiveness. Businesses are becoming more global by expanding into new markets, migrating manufacturing facilities to lower-cost locations and outsourcing certain business processes. In addition, mergers, acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures continue to expand the geographic scope of existing enterprises.

Organizations are Increasingly Dependent on Timely Access to Critical Data and Applications

Application performance and effective access to data are critical to executing, maintaining and expanding business operations. Employees are increasingly dependent on a wide array of software applications to perform their jobs effectively, such as E-mail, document management, enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management.

Wide-Area Distributed Computing Challenges

Technological advances in computing, networking, semiconductor and storage technologies have improved users’ ability to access data and use applications rapidly across their Local Area Networks (“LANs”) and store enormous amounts of information economically. However, these same applications and storage technologies, which were often designed to operate optimally on LANs, perform slowly across WANs and frequently exhibit performance challenges such as: delays in accessing, saving and transferring files, incomplete or inconsistent back-up and recovery of sensitive data and loss of worker productivity and increased end-user frustration.

Although many companies have attempted to solve these problems solely by adding bandwidth, we believe these performance problems can best be solved by addressing not only bandwidth challenges but also, and usually more importantly, the effects of latency and protocol inefficiencies:

Latency and protocol inefficiencies — “Latency” is the amount of time it takes data to travel distances across a WAN. The inefficiencies come from the numerous interactions between clients and servers that are often required by applications or network transport protocols to complete an operation or transfer data. When combined in geographically distributed computing environments, latency and these inefficiencies result in dramatically slower performance. For example, a simple request to open a file may require hundreds if not thousands of sequential round-trip interactions that, when aggregated, can result in substantial delays. This problem arises from two distinct sources:

    
Network Protocol inefficiencies — Most business applications were designed for optimal use within LAN environments and employ unique communications procedures that result in slow performance when transmitted over a WAN. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the underlying transport protocol for most WAN traffic, divides data into relatively small packets that are sent sequentially across the WAN, and require return acknowledgement from the recipient. These numerous round trips across the WAN result in slow performance for the end-user.

    
Bandwidth limitations — Bandwidth is defined as the amount of data that can traverse a network in a given amount of time and is typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps). While most organizations’ LANs typically operate at 100 or 1,000 Mbps, their remote office WAN connections typically operate at 2 Mbps or less. This often results in WAN congestion and poor application and data services performance. In addition, WAN outages limit the effectiveness of workers who are dependent on remote access to data and applications.

Mobile market

Applications for mobile devices and tablets are one of the fastest growing segments in technology today. According to a new research report, the number of mobile application downloads worldwide will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 56.6 percent between 2010 and 2015 to reach 98 billion at the end of the period. Berg Insight estimates that revenues from paid applications, in-app purchases and subscription services – so called direct revenues – reached 2.5 billion in 2010. Berg Insight forecasts direct app store revenues to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 40.7 percent to reach 13.8 billion in 2015. Apple’s iOS is the current leader in direct monetization of mobile applications and will keep the number one position during the forecast period. The Android and Windows Phone operating systems are anticipated to be number two and three, respectively, in 2015.

"Even though the download numbers will increase during the forecast period, most apps are free to download and app monetization will be a challenge for developers," said Johan Svanberg, Senior Analyst at Berg Insight. "Free to download monetization strategies such as in-app advertising and in-app purchasing will be increasingly important. This is especially true in the Asian and Pacific region, which will account for over 40 percent of all mobile application downloads in 2015." He adds that for the next coming years, the native mobile application is here to stay. New web technologies such as HTML5 are promising and will eventually be relevant alternatives to native applications. It is also important to remember that web applications and native applications are not mutually exclusive and publishers looking for maximizing reach should develop for the web as well as for the major mobile platforms.

Competition

The expanding capabilities of our product offerings have enabled us to address a growing array of opportunities, many of which are not addressed by our competitors.  The design of the Network Data Tunnel is unique compared to the other products in this market and we are truly a disruptive technology for existing solutions. Our competitor’s product offerings include hardware appliances as a major part of their solution. The major benefits of our Network Data Tunnel are: software only solution, easy to install and implement, scalable from very small to very large networks, and priced extremely competitive with a subscription model. With this model, we can easily migrate down to the consumer level, which is where the biggest demand will come in the future.

In the WAN Acceleration market, we compete with large companies such as Cisco Systems, Citrix Systems, Riverbed Technology, Silver Peak and Blue Coat Systems. The principal competitive factors in the market in which we compete include: product performance and features; customer support; brand recognition; the scope of distribution and sales channels; and pricing. Many of our competitors have a longer operating history and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. These larger competitors also have a more extensive customer base and broader customer relationships, including relationships with many of our current and potential customers.

In the mobile application arena, it is a new and dynamically changing marketplace. The cost of entry is low and we see many competitors already with pieces of our solution but not with a patented, well thought out complete system with a world class International Emergency Response Center like we have created. The biggest competitors will come from other security and safety systems such as On-Star and Agero from the automotive market and companies migrating from medical device systems like Lifeline Medical Alert. We also will see competition from handset manufacturers like Great Call and stand alone systems like My Force. We believe many of these companies would be open to discuss business development opportunities if they see our solution as a less expensive and superior offering for their customers.

Employees

The Company has currently 7 employees.

Private Placement of Convertible Notes and Warrants of Nuvel DE

From February 2010 through September 2011, Nuvel DE conducted a bridge offering of approximately $2,500,000 of its Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) and Warrants (the “Bridge Warrants”) to 24 accredited investors (the “Bridge Investors”) pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement as amended on July 5, 2011 and December 30, 2011. The Bridge Notes may be convertible into the Company's securities sold in a Qualified Financing at a conversion price of the lower of $0.54 or the price of the securities sold in a Qualified Financing. The Qualified Financing is defined as an offering of the Company’s securities for gross proceeds of no less than $1,500,000 (including the debt canceled through conversion of principal and interest with respect to the Bridge Notes but deducting any repayment in cash of principal and interest of the Bridge Notes and the Paragon Note). In the event of a Qualified Financing, the Bridge Investors may elect to convert the Bridge Notes or to request the Company to repay all outstanding principal and interests of the Bridge Notes. The Bridge Warrants entitle the Bridge Investors to purchase the number of shares that are calculated by dividing (x) 50% of the outstanding principal plus interest of the Bridge Notes by (y) the conversion price of the Bridge Notes. The Warrants have a term of 7 years.

In addition, from April 2010 through January 2012, Nuvel DE took short term loans of a total of approximately $700,000 from six accredited investors (of which $305,000 have been repaid) and all such investors elected to convert their outstanding short term loans into Bridge Notes. Some of such converted short term loans will mature on approximately April 18, 2012 and some will be extendable for a 60-day period. These investors also received certain number of warrants in the form of the Bridge Warrant in connection with the short term loans.

In connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange Transaction, Nuvel DE received a loan of $390,000 from Paragon Capital, LP and its affiliate Paragon Capital Offshore LP (collectively, “Paragon”) bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% pursuant to a note dated December 30, 2011 (the “Paragon Note”). The loan will be due on December 31, 2012, and this loan is secured pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated December 30, 2011. In addition, Paragon and its designated person received an aggregate of 1,739,706 shares of common stock of the Company and a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share with a term of 7 years (the “Paragon Warrant”). In addition, the Company provided a guaranty to Paragon for securing the Paragon Note, and certain shareholders of the Company signed lockup agreements with the Company (each, a “Lockup Agreement”), covenanting not to sell or transfer their shares of Common Stock until 180 days after the Paragon Note is fully paid off.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Our executive officers are not entitled to severance payments upon the termination of their employment agreements or following a change in control.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Transactions with related persons

On February 1, 2010, Nuvel DE signed a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Middlebury Group LLC to act as the placement agent in connection with private placement offerings comprised of bridge notes, convertible preferred stock, senior secured promissory notes, convertible notes, and warrants as required.  The agreement provides for a monthly retainer fee of $10,000 and a placement fee equal to ten percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by each investor. This is a related party transaction because Gregory Osborn, one of our directors, is a partner at Middlebury Group LLC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010, the Company paid Middlebury Group LLC $65,000 and $89,000, respectively, for the services rendered pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement.

We do not have an established policy regarding related transactions. Except as disclosed above, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no other related party transactions in the Company.

Director Independence

The Company believes that Charles Resnick and Gregory Osborn are “independent” as such term is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Board Composition and Committees

The Company’s Board of Directors is currently composed of three members, Charles Resnick, Gregory Osborn and Jay Elliot.

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee.  Rather, our full board of directors performs the functions of these committees. Also, we do not have a “audit committee financial expert” on our board of directors as that term is defined by Item 401(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We do not believe it is necessary for our board of directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our board of directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our Common Stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.

Code of Ethics
 
Our Board of Directors will adopt a new code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The new code will address, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Nuvel, Inc. appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nuvel DE, engages in the business of designing, developing and selling a family of proxy and other appliances, and related software and services that secure, accelerate and optimize the delivery of business applications, Web content and other information to distributed users over a Wide Area Network (“WAN”), or across an enterprise’s gateway to the public Internet (also known as the Web). Our products provide our end user customers with information about the applications and Web traffic running on their networks, including the ability to discover, classify, manage and control communications between users and applications across internal networks, the WAN and the Internet. Our products are also designed to accelerate and optimize the performance of our end users’ business applications and content, whether used internally or hosted by external providers. We have also developed and designed personal safety applications that are accessible via various mobile and tablet platforms.
 
We are a development stage enterprise. Our primary activities have been the design and development of our products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements and raising capital. We have not commenced our principal operations, nor have we generated any material revenues.
 
Since inception, we have incurred substantial losses. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our accumulated deficit was $3,428,057 and $1,364,729, respectively, our stockholders’ deficiency was $3,325,957 and $1,364,629, respectively, and our working capital deficiency was $3,325,957 and $1,364,629, respectively.  We have not yet generated revenues and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in design, development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products.  We expect to continue to incur additional costs for operating and marketing activities over at least the next year.

 
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the lack of any revenues, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations.  Subsequent to September 30, 2011, we received aggregate debt financing of $860,000.  As a result, we expect that the cash we have available will fund our operations only through April 2012 (at which time a substantial portion of our debt obligations will become due).  We are currently considering several different financing alternatives to support our operations thereafter. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotions activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Availability of Additional Funds” below.

Period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010

Marketing and promotion expenses

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising, marketing, and promotion of our products.  For the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010, marketing and promotion expenses amounted to $27,155. We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will continue to increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.

Payroll and benefits

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we incur additional costs to support the growth in our business.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of consulting fees paid to develop our software products.  Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred.

The increase resulted primarily from the engagement of creative services the entire nine months of 2011 as compared to five months in 2010 and the monthly fee doubled at the beginning of 2011.
 
We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will continue to increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.

Payroll and benefits consist primarily of salaries and benefits to employees.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, payroll and benefits increased by $224,338, or 44%, as compared to the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2011 in the amounts of $1,064,203, $664,694, and $2,074,220, respectively.

The cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $2,063,328, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs, and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the aggregate amount of $531,216 as well as a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $467,908.

The cash used in operating activities for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $854,442, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs, and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the aggregate amount of $96,999 as well as a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $92,749.

The net increase in cash used in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010 was driven primarily by the increase in the net loss from $854,442 to $2,063,328.

The cash used in operating activities for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,364,729, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs, and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the aggregate amount of $186,750 as well as a change in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and prepaid expenses of $167,962.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Company did not use any funds for investing activities.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2011, was $1,258,000, $772,600, and $2,278,100, respectively, primarily from the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes.
  
Availability of Additional Funds

Based upon our working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2011 and the lack of any revenues, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations.  Subsequent to September 30, 2011, we received aggregate debt financing of $860,000.  As a result, we expect that the cash we have available will fund our operations only through April 2012 (at which time a substantial portion of our debt obligations will become due).  Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity securities or otherwise, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes).  Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures.  Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, and competing technological and market developments.

We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or to raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or to obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
 
These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements included elsewhere in this Current Report in Item 9.01  have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.  The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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 liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include depreciation and the fair value of our stock, stock-based compensation, debt discount and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference is made to the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in this Current Report in Item 9.01 for information related to new accounting pronouncement, none of which had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, and the future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements, which we do not expect will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Florida law allows the Company to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on its behalf, and under certain circumstances to advance the expenses of such litigation upon securing their promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that indemnification will not be allowed to an individual in that litigation.

Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that it shall indemnify all directors, officers and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law as provided within 2011 Florida Statutes Section 607.0850 or any other law in effect or as it may hereafter be amended.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore unenforceable.

At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted.  We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

ITEM 5.03   AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On December 30, 2011, the Company changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31 as a result of the Share Exchange Transaction consummated on December 30, 2011. The Share Exchange Transaction is accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization with the acquired company, Nuvel DE, becoming the accounting acquirer in this transaction.

No transition report will be filed, since we are adopting the fiscal year end of the accounting acquirer, which is December 31. The Company intends to file an annual report on Form 10-K for the new fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
  and Stockholders of Nuvel, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Nuvel, Inc. (the “Company”) (a company in the development stage) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuvel, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,364,729 for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010.  In addition, as of December 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,364,629.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NUVEL, INC.
(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  Business Organization and Nature of Operations

Nuvel, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as iNetXcel, Inc. in the state of Delaware on January 20, 2010. The Company changed its name to Nuvel, Inc. on July 6, 2010. The Company designs, develops and markets Wide Area Network Acceleration (WANa) Solutions that are purpose-built to accelerate and optimize the flow of information over the Internet. The Company’s products are deployed by its customers throughout their network infrastructures to improve the performance of their networks and reduce network costs, while enhancing network security.

The Company has been presented as a "development stage enterprise.” The Company’s primary activities since inception, have been the design and development of its products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital.  The Company had not commenced its principal operations, nor had it generated any revenues from its operations through December 31, 2010.

On December 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Harmony Metals, Inc. and certain of its shareholders.  The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. See Note 11. 

Note 2.  Going Concern and Management Plans

The accompanying 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.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,364,629.  The Company has not generated any revenues and incurred net losses of $1,364,729 during the period from January 20, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been note financings.  Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the Company secured additional debt financing in the form of Notes Payable aggregating $560,000 (of which $50,000 was repaid) and Secured Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $1,675,000 (See Note 11).  As a result, the Company expects that its current cash on hand will fund its operations only through April 2012 (at which time a substantial portion of its debt obligations will become due).  The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company is currently a development stage enterprise and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives.  The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments.  Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.  There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company’s stock, debt discount, warrant liabilities, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains its cash accounts at high quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any deposits in excess of federally insured limits.

Cash
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the period from January 20, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, the Company incurred advertising costs of $27,155.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.  For the period from January 20, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $188,908.
 
Capitalized Software Costs

Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility through general release of the software products are capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985 “Software”.  Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of the related products, generally three years. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s software products did not reach technological feasibility and, therefore, no costs associated with the development were capitalized.

Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The adoption of ASC Topic 740-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense.  No interest or penalties have been recognized as of December 31, 2010.
 
Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company does not expect any significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.
 
Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.  Applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

For instruments in which the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  

Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company's own stock as defined in ASC 815-40, "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity". The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

The Company’s free standing derivatives consist of warrants issued in connection with convertible note financing arrangements as described in Note 5. The Company evaluated the common stock purchase warrants to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under GAAP.   See Note 5.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
 
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance requiring new disclosures and clarifying existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  Specifically, the amendments now require a reporting entity to:

·   
Disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

·   
Present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.

·   
In addition, the guidance clarifies the requirements of the following disclosures:

·   
For purposes of reporting fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

·   
A reporting entity is to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued an update which amends the subsequent events disclosure guidance.  The amendments include a definition of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer, requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  This guidance was effective upon issuance for the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This updated accounting guidance establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This guidance includes amendments that clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosures, while other amendments change a principle or requirement for fair value measurements or disclosures. For non-public entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 and now requires a reporting entity to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that the Company is required to adopt that are likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Note 5.  Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
 
For the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010, the Company issued certain Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) aggregating $1,025,000.  The Convertible Notes are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and are repayable six months from the date of issuance of the respective notes; however, the Company has the right to extend the maturity date for an additional two months.  The Convertible Notes define a "Qualified Financing" as the sale for cash by the Company of securities generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 (including the amounts due under the Convertible Notes that are converted into such securities).  In the event of a Qualified Financing (as defined), the holder of the Convertible Notes would be able to elect to convert the principal and unpaid interest into common stock at a 10% discount of the Qualified Financing.  As of December 31, 2010, since the Convertible Notes were contingently convertible and the Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur, the Convertible Notes were not convertible into common stock.

During the initial six month period of the notes, the rate of interest will be 12% per annum. In the event the Company exercises the extension period, the interest rate would retroactively increase to 15% per annum.  Once the extension period has passed, the interest rate would be retroactively increased to 20% per annum.  The Company considered provisions of ASC 470 “Debt” with respect to its increasing-rate debt and concluded that the overall effect was deemed de minimis to the financial statements.   Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the Convertible Notes were converted into new instruments. See Note 11.

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the noteholders also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 512,500 shares of the Company’s common stock with an initial exercise price equal to 90% of the per share price paid by investors in a Qualified Financing (as defined).  Per the terms of the warrants, such exercise price was reduced to $1.50 per share since the Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur within three months of the issuance of the warrant.  The warrants expire the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined).  As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock with respect to the potential exercise of these warrants.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity”, which addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. Under this guidance, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments.   The Company determined that the common stock purchase warrants, as originally issued, did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price was subject to a Qualified Financing. As such, the Company was required to record the warrants which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through December 31, 2010.

The Company valued the warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Notes with the assistance of an independent valuation company and applied the value to the principal amount to determine the debt discount, which totaled $78,375.  Accordingly, the Company allocated $78,375 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.  Such amount is being amortized over the terms of the respective notes using the effective interest method.  During the period from January 20, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, the Company recognized $61,292 in amortization of the deferred debt discount.

Note 5.  Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

The fair value of these warrants on the issuance date was calculated using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula completed by an independent valuation company with the following weighted average assumptions:

Dividend Yield
   
0
%
Volatility
   
80.00
%
Risk-free interest rate
   
0.12-3.39
%
Expected lives
 
3-4 years
 
Weighted average fair value per warrant
 
$
0.15
 
Warrants issued
   
512,500
 
Aggregate grant date fair value
 
$
78,375
 

The risk-free interest rate is the United States Treasury rate for the day of the grant having a term equal to the contractual life of the warrant. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase the fair value and the related compensation expense.  The volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a long period of time, an average of the historic volatility of comparative companies was used.  The dividend yield is 0% as the Company has not made any dividend payment nor plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
On December 31, 2010, the Company marked these warrants to fair value and recorded a $6,625 gain relating to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.  The aggregate fair value of all such warrants amounted to $71,750 at December 31, 2010.
 
In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company incurred placement agent fees of $180,000 which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the stated term of the loan.  Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet at December 31, 2010 net of $132,083 in amortization expense for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010.


Note 6.  Notes Payable
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued certain notes payable totaling $325,000 and repaid $150,000.  The notes bear interest between 0% and 12% per annum (weighted average of 6.5% per annum).  The Company calculated the imputed interest associated with non-interest bearing notes and the resulting expense was deemed de minimis to the financial statements for the period from January 20, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.  The outstanding notes payable totaling $175,000 will mature on December 31, 2011.  As of March 19, 2012, these notes have not yet been repaid.

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is established.  Based upon the Company’s losses since inception, management believes that it is more likely than not that future benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. 
 
The Company is required to file income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, and these returns are subject to examination by such taxing authorities.  The Company is in process of filing its federal and state income tax returns for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $1,300,000 of federal and state net operating loss that may be available to offset future taxable income.  The Company will not be able to utilize these carry-forwards until its initial tax returns are filed.  The net operating loss carry overs, if not utilized, will expire 20 years from the date that the tax returns are filed for federal purposes.  Net operating losses incurred in California are currently suspended and cannot be utilized until after 2011, at which time they may be carried forward for 20 years.

Note Financing
 
In November 2011, January 2012, and February 2012, the Company issued additional notes payable aggregating $470,000 (of which $50,000 was repaid).  The notes bear interest of 12% per annum and mature between March and December 2012.  These investors also received an aggregate of 410,000 warrants to purchase common stock in connection with the short term loans.
 

Convertible Notes

Subsequent to December 31, 2010 and through June 2011, the Company issued additional Convertible Notes under the terms discussed in Note 5 aggregating $675,000.

New Convertible Notes

On July 5, 2011, the outstanding Convertible Notes aggregating $1,700,000 were converted into new Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “New Convertible Notes”).  The New Convertible Notes are repayable six months from the date of issuance of the respective notes; however, the Company has the right to extend the maturity date for an additional two months.  During the initial six month period of the notes, the rate of interest will be 12% per annum. In the event that the Company executes an extension period, the interest rate would retroactively increase to 15% per annum.  Once the extension period has passed, the interest rate would be retroactively increased to 22% per annum.

The New Convertible Notes define a "Qualified Financing" as the sale for cash by the Company of debt or equity securities generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000 (including the proceeds from the Convertible Notes). In the event a Qualified Financing (as defined) is consummated by December 31, 2011, the noteholder shall have the option to (a) convert the principal amount of the New Convertible Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Conversion Amount”), into the same securities purchased by investors in the Qualified Financing. The noteholder shall also be entitled to receive warrants issued in connection therewith, as the same terms received by such investors, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (1) 75% of the per share price paid by the investors in the Qualified Financing and (2) a price per share which represents a $7,000,000 valuation; or (b) tender their Bridge Note to the Company for immediate repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest. If the Qualified Financing does not occur by December 31, 2011, then the Conversion Price will be reduced to the lower of (1) 50% of the per share price paid by the investors in any equity related offering, or (2) a price per share which represents a $4,000,000 pre-offering valuation.  On December 30, 2011, the outstanding New Convertible Notes were converted into new instruments.  See the “Third Amendment” below.

From July 5, 2011 through December 16, 2011, the Company issued an additional $1,000,000 in New Convertible Notes for cash proceeds.

Note 11.  Subsequent Events (continued)

New Convertible Notes (continued)

Prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes into the New Convertible Notes, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 850,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 were surrendered to the Company.

In connection with the New Convertible Notes, the note holders received warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,620,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share (as adjusted) and expire the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined).

Third Amendment

On December 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement amending the New Convertible Notes (the “Third Amendment”).  Under the Third Amendment, in the event a Qualified Financing (as defined) is consummated by the Company, the noteholder shall have the option to (a) convert the principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into the same securities purchased by investors in the Qualified Financing. The noteholder shall also be entitled to receive warrants issued in connection therewith, with the same terms received by such investors at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) the price per share of the Qualified Securities and (y) $0.54 per share (the “Conversion Price”), or (b) tender their notes to the Company for immediate repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest.  A  Qualified Financing is defined as the sale for cash by the Company or any company with which it completes a reverse merger or any business combination of debt or equity securities generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $1,500,000.
 
The Third Amendment also changed the terms of the New Warrants.  The number of Warrant Shares that a Holder shall be entitled to receive shall equal the number derived by dividing an amount equal to (i) fifty percent of the principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, by (ii) the Conversion Price.
 
Operating Lease
 
Beginning in November 2012, the Company leased office space in Los Gatos, California pursuant to a one year lease that expires on October 31, 2012.
 
Reverse Merger and Recapitalization

On December 30, 2011, the Company, all of the stockholders of Nuvel (the “Nuvel Stockholders”), Harmony Metals, Inc. (“Harmony”) and certain stockholders of Harmony entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”), whereby the Nuvel Stockholders were issued an aggregate of 7,508,333 shares of Harmony common stock in exchange for an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Nuvel common stock held by the Nuvel Stockholders and a total cash purchase price of $350,000.  On February 21, 2012, the Share Exchange Agreement was corrected to issue an additional 2,931,373 shares of Common Stock to the Nuvel DE Stockholders on a pro rata basis. As a result of the transaction, the former stockholders’ of Nuvel owned approximately 85% of Harmony and the officers of Nuvel became the officers of Harmony. The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization, whereby the Company is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.
 
In connection with the Share Exchange, the Company received a loan from an investor in the amount of $390,000.  The note bears interest of 8% per annum and matures on December 31, 2012.  In addition, the investor and its affiliate received an aggregate of 1,739,706 shares of common stock of the Company and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share with a term of seven years.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


Note 1.  Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nuvel, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as iNetXcel, Inc. in the state of Delaware on January 20, 2010. The Company changed its name to Nuvel, Inc. on July 6, 2010. The Company designs, develops and markets Wide Area Network Acceleration (WANa) Solutions that are purpose-built to accelerate and optimize the flow of information over the Internet. The Company’s products are deployed by its customers throughout their network infrastructures to improve the performance of their networks and reduce network costs, while enhancing network security.

The Company has been presented as a "development stage enterprise”. The Company’s primary activities since inception, have been the design and development of its products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital.  The Company had not commenced its principal operations, nor had it generated any revenues from its operations through December 31, 2010.

On December 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Harmony Metals, Inc. and certain of its shareholders (the "Share Exchange").  The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization, whereby the Company is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2011, have been prepared by the Company without being audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make the Company’s condensed financial position, results of operations and cash flows, as of September 30, 2011 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2011 not misleading have been made. The condensed results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of results that would be expected for any other interim period or the full year.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements from January 20, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 and notes thereto included elsewhere herein this document.

Note 2.  Going Concern and Management Plans

The accompanying condensed 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.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $3,325,957. The Company has not generated any revenues and incurred net losses since inception.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been note financings.  Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company secured additional debt financing in the form of Notes Payable aggregating $560,000 (See Note 8) and Secured Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $200,000 (See Note 5).  As a result, the Company expects that its current cash on hand will fund its operations only through April 2012 (at which time a substantial portion of its debt obligations will become due).  The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company is currently a development stage enterprise and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives.  The Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt or equity instruments.  Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds it raises will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.  There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company’s stock, debt discount, warrant liabilities, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date on which the condensed financial statements were issued.

Note 5.  Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
 
Convertible Notes

For the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the Company issued certain Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) aggregating $1,700,000, of which $675,000 were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The Convertible Notes are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and are repayable six months from the date of issuance of the respective notes; however, the Company has the right to extend the maturity date for an additional two months.   The Convertible Notes define a “Qualified Financing” as the sale for cash by the Company of securities generating aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 (including the amounts due under the Convertible Notes that are converted into such securities.  In the event of a Qualified Financing (as defined), the holder of the Convertible Notes would be able to elect to convert the principal and unpaid interest into common stock at a 10% discount of the Qualified Financing.  The Company has evaluated the conversion option in this instrument and determined that the instrument is contingently convertible since the Convertible Notes can not be converted to equity until a Qualified Financing (as defined) has occurred.

During the initial six month period of the notes, the rate of interest will be 12% per annum.  In the event that the Company exercises the extension period, the interest rate would retroactively increase to 15% per annum.  Once the extension period has passed, the interest rate would be retroactively increased to 20% per annum.  The Company considered provisions of ASC 470 “Debt” with respect to its increasing-rate debt and concluded that the overall effect was deemed de minimis to the condensed financial statements.   

In connection with the Convertible Notes, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the noteholders also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 850,000 shares of common stock (the “Old Warrants”), of which 337,500 shares were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The Old Warrants had an initial exercise price equal to 90% of the per share price paid by investors in a Qualified Financing (as defined).  Per the terms of the warrants, such exercise price was reduced to $1.50 per share since the Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur within three months of the issuance of the warrant.  The warrants expire the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined).

Note 5.  Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

Convertible Notes (continued)

In accordance with ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the common stock purchase warrants, as originally issued, did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price was subject to the completion of a Qualified Financing transaction.  As such, the Company was required to record the warrants which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through July 5, 2011, at which time these warrants were surrendered (see “New Convertible Notes” below).

The Company valued the Old Warrants with the assistance of an independent valuation company and applied it to the principal amount to determine the debt discount, which totaled $123,500.  Accordingly, the Company allocated $123,500 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.  Such amount is being amortized over the terms of the respective notes using the effective interest method.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $62,208, $33,083, and $123,500, respectively, in amortization of the deferred debt discount relating to the Convertible Notes.

The fair value of the Old Warrants on the issuance date was calculated using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula valued with the assistance of an independent valuation company with the following weighted average assumptions:

Note 5.  Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

New Convertible Notes

On July 5, 2011, the outstanding Convertible Notes aggregating $1,700,000 were converted into new Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “New Convertible Notes”). From the date of issuance to July 5, 2011, since the Qualified Financing (as defined in the Convertible Notes) did not occur, the Convertible Notes were not convertible into common stock.  The New Convertible Notes are repayable six months from the date of issuance of the respective notes; however, the Company has the right to extend the maturity date for an additional two months.  During the initial six month period of the notes, the rate of interest will be 12% per annum.  In the event that the Company exercises the extension period, the interest rate would retroactively increase to 15% per annum.  Once the extension period has passed, the interest rate would be retroactively increased to 22% per annum.

In the event a Qualified Financing (as defined) is consummated by December 31, 2011, the noteholder shall have the option to (a) convert the principal amount of the New Convertible Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Conversion Amount”), into the same securities purchased by investors in the Qualified Financing, including any warrants issued in connection therewith, at the same terms received by such investors, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (1) 75% of the per share price paid by the investors in the Qualified Financing and (2) a price per share which represents a $7,000,000 valuation; or (b) tender their notes to the Company for immediate repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest. If the Qualified Financing does not occur by December 31, 2011, then the Conversion Price will be reduced to the lower of (1) 50% of the per share price paid by the investors in any equity related offering, or (2) a price per share which represents a $4,000,000 pre-offering valuation.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company has evaluated the conversion option in this instrument and determined that the instrument is contingently convertible since the New Convertible Notes could not be converted to equity, as a Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur.

On July 5, 2011, in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes into the New Convertible Notes, the Old Warrants were surrendered to the Company and the investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,020,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share (as adjusted) and expiring the earlier of seven years from the grant date or the closing of a sale or merger transaction (as defined),  (the “New Warrants”).  The Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining debt discount totaling $23,187 upon surrender of the Old Warrants.  In addition, on July 5, 2011, the Company marked to market the Old Warrants and reclassified the resulting warrant liability aggregating $102,000 to equity.

In addition, from July 5, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the Company issued an additional $800,000 in New Convertible Notes for cash proceeds.   These noteholders received an aggregate of 480,000 New Warrants.

As of September 30, 2011, since the Qualified Financing (as defined) did not occur, the Convertible Notes were not convertible into common stock.

Note 5.  Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

New Convertible Notes (continued)

The Company determined that the New Warrants, as originally issued, did not contain fixed settlement provisions because the exercise price was subject to a Qualified Financing. As such, the Company was required to record the warrants which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period through September 30, 2011.

The Company valued the New Warrants issued in connection with the New Convertible Notes with the assistance of an independent valuation company and applied the value to the principal amount to determine the debt discount, which totaled $225,600.  Accordingly, the Company allocated $225,600 of the offering proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them as liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.  Such amount is being amortized over the terms of the respective notes using the effective interest method.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the period from January 20, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $50,400 in amortization of the deferred debt discount relating to the New Convertible Notes.

The fair value of the New Warrants on the issuance date was calculated using a compound option model that includes characteristics of both a binomial lattice and the Black-Scholes formula valued with the assistance of an independent valuation company with the following weighted average assumptions:
