PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not intended to be complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. We urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 4. Except where the context requires otherwise, in this prospectus the terms “Company,” “Realbiz,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Realbiz Media Group, Inc ., a Delaware corporation. Unless otherwise included, all share amounts and per share amounts in this prospectus have been presented on a pro forma basis to reflect the reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-200, effected on May 3, 2012.

 

Company Overview

 

We are engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. We currently generate revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. RealBiz has positioned itself in the following four areas summarized here and explained in more detail below:

 

  1. Real Estate Video on Demand Channel – We earn fees from pre-roll/post-roll advertising, banner ads and cross-market advertising promotions. We charge an $89 listing and marketing fee, and earn revenue from web-based and mobile advertising.

 

  2. Website and Mobile Applications – We are developing a real estate web portal. This site is expected to be unique to the world of real estate search sites on multiple levels, from a consumer perspective the user experience is being designed to be completely visual and video centric, secondly, the site will provide local neighborhood information and allow for social interaction between home seekers and current residents who can provide an unbiased view of the selected neighborhood, and the content on the site will focus on the entire home ownership lifecycle from purchase through maintenance to home sale therefore giving the site a much deeper and more loyal audience over time.

 

  3. Agent to Agent Interaction-From an industry perspective we believe the site will be revolutionary because it includes an agent only platform that is being designed to allow for agent to agent interaction, and “App Store” for relevant video content, community events, discount coupons, industry news and agent share programs. This site will completely empower the agent with content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads at a fraction of the cost they’re currently paying. This agent only site will interact with our Microvideo App (MVA) platform. The MVA was developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise systems and/or their brokers. This solution gives those franchises and brokers a much needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition.

 

  4. Traditional Real Estate Sales – Our previous company, Webdigs, had a licensed real estate brokerage division that currently has participating brokers in 48 states. We believe there are potential opportunities to take advantage of such as an improving real estate market, and that our traditional brokerage division will be able to capture leads from the Real Estate Video on Demand Channel. The Company currently has no activities in this division.

 

Our principal offices are located at 2690 Weston Road, Suite 200, Weston, FL 33331, and our telephone number at that office is (954) 888-9779. We maintain an Internet website at www.realbizmedia.com where the incorporated reports listed above can be accessed. Neither this website nor the information on this website is included or incorporated in, or is a part of, this prospectus or any supplement to the prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk, and you should be able to bear the complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below, the other information in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein when evaluating our company and our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or a part of the money paid to buy our common stock.

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We are a recently formed company with no history of profitability.

 

Our former entity, Webdigs, Inc. began operations in July 2007 and to date has not generated a yearly profit. In addition, consolidated annual revenues remain around $1 million. As a young company, we are subject to all of the risks associated with a new business enterprise. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, especially in challenging and competitive industries such as residential real estate and mortgage brokerage and particularly in light of current general economic, real estate and credit market conditions.

 

We do not yet have a significant operating history which would provide you with meaningful information about our past or future operations. The Company has not yet achieved positive cash flow on a monthly basis during any fiscal year including the current fiscal year ending October 31, 2013 and there is significant risk to the survival of the enterprise.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has incurred net losses of $1,451,978 and $278,637 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At January 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,578,619, and an accumulated deficit of $11,950,233. We have had net losses for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 of $3,764,089 and $963,220 respectively. Furthermore, we had a working capital deficit as of October 31, 2013 of $374,319. Since the financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern, these conditions coupled with our current liquidity position raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, since we are pursuing new business, this diminishes our ability to accurately forecast our revenues and expenses. We expect that our ability to continue as a going concern depends, in large part, on our ability to generate sufficient revenues, limit our expenses without sacrificing customer service, and obtain necessary financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be forced to discontinue our business.

 

We will require additional financing in the future, but such financing may not be available to us.

 

If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund the operation of our business. As a result, we would likely be forced to dramatically alter or cease operations. To date, our revenues from operations have not generated cash flow sufficient to finance our operations and growth. We will require as a result significant additional capital to continue our operations. There can be no assurance given that we will be able to secure additional financing in the future.

 

We critically rely on our executive management, and the loss of certain members of management would materially and negatively affect us.

 

Our success materially depends upon the efforts of our management and other key personnel, including but not limited to Bill Kerby, CEO and Chairman, Doug Checkeris, Acting Chief Marketing Officer, Steven Marques, Acting President/Chief Revenue Officer, Deborah Linden, COO, and Adam Friedman, Chief Financial Officer. If we lose the services of any of these members of management, our business would be materially and adversely affected. We have entered into a formal services and non-competition agreements with Ms. Linden and Mr. Checkeris. Nevertheless, agreements do not ensure the continued availability to us of Mr. Checkeris and Ms. Linden or any other manager or employee. Furthermore, we do not have “key person” life insurance, and we do not presently intend to purchase such insurance   .

 

Our future success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management personnel and other employees. Any difficulties in obtaining, retaining and training qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition. The process of identifying such personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy is often lengthy. Any difficulties in obtaining and retaining qualified managers and employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

 

We may be unable to obtain sufficient market acceptance of our services.

 

The market for residential real estate sales is well-established. However, the market for non-traditional residential real estate sales is relatively new, developing and even more uncertain. As is typical in the case of a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for products and services are subject to tremendous uncertainty. Our future growth and financial performance will almost entirely depend upon consumers’ acceptance of our products and services. In this regard, the failure of advertisers to accept our model or the inability of our services to satisfy consumer expectations, would have a material adverse effect on our business, and could cause us to cease operations.

 

4
 

 

We rely on third parties for key aspects of the process of providing services to our customers, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties could harm our ability to operate our business and damage our reputation.

 

We rely on third-party vendors, including website providers and information technology vendors. Any disruption in access to the websites developed and hosted by these third-party providers or any failure of these third-party providers to handle current or higher volumes of use could significantly harm our business. Any financial or other difficulties our providers face may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which we cannot predict. We exercise little or no control over all of these third-party vendors, which increases our vulnerability to problems with the services they provide.

 

In addition, we license technology and related databases from third parties to facilitate aspects of our website and connectivity operations. Any errors, failures, interruptions or delays experienced in connection with these third-party technologies and information services could materially and negatively impact our relationship with our customers and adversely affect our brand and our business. It is possible that such errors, failures, interruptions or delays could even expose us to liabilities to our customers or other third parties.

 

Interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems would impair our ability to effectively provide our services, which could in turn damage our reputation and harm our business.

 

Our ability to provide our services critically depends on the continuing operation of our information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or failure of our systems would likely result in interruptions in our service to customers and the closings of real estate transactions from which we principally derive revenue. Accordingly, interruptions in our service would likely reduce our revenues and profits, and our brand could be damaged, perhaps irreparably, if people believe our system and services are unreliable.

 

To our knowledge, our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from terrorist or malicious attacks, floods, tornados, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses and other attempts to harm our systems, and similar types of events. Our data centers are subject to break-ins, sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism, and to other potential disruptions. Some of our systems are not fully redundant (i.e., backed up), and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. The occurrence of a natural disaster, or a decision to close a facility we are using without adequate notice for financial reasons or other unanticipated problems at our data centers, could result in lengthy interruptions in our service. Any unscheduled interruption in our service would likely place a burden on our entire organization and result in an immediate loss of revenue. The steps we have taken to increase the reliability and redundancy of our systems are expensive, reduce our operating margin and even then may not be successful in reducing the frequency or duration of unscheduled downtime.

 

Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our intellectual property, which could be costly.

 

Our technology is the cornerstone of our business and our success will depend in part upon protecting any technology we use or may develop from infringement, misappropriation, duplication and discovery, and avoiding infringement and misappropriation of third party rights. Our intellectual property is essential to our business, and our ability to compete effectively with other companies depends on the proprietary nature of our technologies. We do not have patent protection for our proprietary video on demand technology. We rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop, maintain, and strengthen its competitive position. Although we have confidentiality provisions in the agreements with our employees and independent contractors, there can be no assurance that such agreements can fully protect our intellectual property, be enforced in a timely manner or that any such employees or consultants will not violate their agreements with us.

 

Furthermore, we may have to take legal action in the future to protect our trade secrets or know-how, or to defend them against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any legal action of that type could be costly and time-consuming to us, and there can be no assure that such actions will be successful. The invalidation of key proprietary rights which we own or unsuccessful outcomes in lawsuits to protect our intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to compete more directly with us, which could adversely affect our competitive position and, as a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our certificate of incorporation grants our Board of Directors, without any action or approval by our stockholders, the power to issue additional shares of capital stock, including the power to designate additional classes of common and preferred stock.

 

Our authorized capital consists of 250,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 125,000,000 are authorized common shares and 125,000,000 are authorized Series A Preferred Shares. We currently have 58,221,112 shares of common stock outstanding and 94,016,400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Pursuant to authority granted by our certificate of incorporation and applicable state law, our Board of Directors, without any action or approval by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares in such classes or series (including other classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of other classes or series of capital stock, including preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of the shares of common stock offered hereby. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to the shares of our common stock. Finally, any issuances of additional capital stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders and may dilute the per-share book value of the Company.

 

On May 17, 2012, the Company affected a 1 for 200 reverse stock split. The Company retrospectively restated the outstanding shares for the earnings per share calculation.

There is limited public market for our common stock.

 

There is currently a limited trading market for our securities on the OTCQB over-the-counter-market. Consequently, we cannot assure you when and if an active-trading market in our shares will be established, or whether any such market will be sustained or sufficiently liquid to enable holders of shares of our common stock to liquidate their investment in our company. If an active public market should develop in the future, the sale of unregistered and restricted securities by current shareholders may have a substantial impact on any such market.

 

We are required to comply with governmental regulations, which will increase our costs and could prohibit us from conducting business in certain jurisdictions.

 

We are subject to governmental regulation by federal, state and local regulatory authorities with respect to our real estate business. Governmental bodies may change the regulatory framework within which we intend to operate, without providing any recourse for adverse effects that the change may have on our business.

 

We can give no assurance that we will be able to comply with existing laws and regulations, that additional regulations that harm our business will not be adopted, or that we will continue to maintain our licenses, approvals or authorizations. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or the adoption of new laws and regulations restricting our intended operations, could have a material adverse effect on our business and could cause us to cease operations.

 

The efforts of the National Association of Realtors or other organizations could prevent us from operating our business, and could lead to the imposition of significant restrictions on our operations.

 

The National Association of Realtors, which represents real estate brokerages, has issued rules that attempt to block access of web-assisted real estate companies to the Multiple Listing System (MLS) and may adopt additional rules intended to reduce or eliminate competition from web-assisted (online) discount real estate businesses such as Realbiz. Our business is dependent upon the ability to access the MLS to be competitive. We can give no assurance that the National Association of Realtors will not be successful in preventing our access to the MLS, or that it or another organization will not be successful in adopting rules or imposing other restrictions on web-assisted real estate businesses such as Realbiz. Such adoption or imposition of regulations or restrictions would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Competition in the traditional and online residential real estate industry is intense.

 

The residential real estate industry is highly competitive. We believe that important competitive factors in this industry include (but are not limited to) price, service, and ease of use. We presently face competition from numerous companies engaged in traditional residential real estate marketing services and we expect online competition to increase in the future from existing and new competitors. Most of our current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and technical resources than us, as well as significant operating histories. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete successfully against new or existing competitors. Furthermore, competition may reduce the prices we are able to charge for our services, thereby potentially lowering revenues and margins, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.

 

The online residential real estate industry is subject to significant and rapid technological change.

 

The online residential real estate industry is subject to rapid innovation and technological change, shifting customer preferences, new service introductions and competition from traditional real estate brokerage firms. Competitors in this market have frequently taken different strategic approaches and have launched substantially different products or services in order to exploit the same perceived market opportunity. Although we believe that we are offering a unique solution, there can be no assurance that our services will gain the market acceptance we seek, be competitive technologically or otherwise, or that any other services developed by us will be competitive.

 

Our ability to compete in this industry will depend upon, among other things, broad acceptance of our services and the content we provide and on our ability to continually improve current and future services we may develop and our content to meet changing customer requirements. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify new service or product opportunities and develop and bring to the market new and enhanced solutions in a timely manner, that such products or services will be commercially successful, that we will benefit from such development, or that products and services developed by others will not render our products and services noncompetitive or obsolete. If we are unable to penetrate markets in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if new or enhanced products or services do not achieve a significant degree of market acceptance, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

 

We may be impacted by general economic conditions within the United States residential real estate market.

 

The residential real estate market has experienced vast fluctuations in recent times. In some years, real estate home sales are brisk, while in other years the residential real estate market has been stagnant. Our ability to attract home sellers and buyers to use our website will, in part, depend upon consumers’ willingness in general to buy or sell a home. When consumers sense that the overall economy is not doing well, they are less likely to make an expensive purchase such as a home.

 

In addition, unemployment remains at the high levels by historical standards. There also remains an enormous inventory of unsold and vacant homes. In the first quarter of 2010, the US Census Bureau reported there were 19 million vacant homes in the United States.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future. If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price.

 

Our most recent evaluation of our internal controls resulted in our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures and that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In our case, our failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud. This may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

Our lack of an independent audit committee and audit committee financial expert at this time may hinder our board of directors’ effectiveness in fulfilling the functions of the audit committee without undue influence from management and until we establish such committee will prevent us from obtaining a listing on a national securities exchange.

 

Although our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange, for purposes of independence we use the definition of independence applied by NASDAQ. Currently, we have no independent audit committee. Our full board of directors functions as our audit committee and is comprised of five directors, two of whom are considered to be "independent" in accordance with the requirements set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). An independent audit committee plays a crucial role in the corporate governance process, assessing our Company's processes relating to our risks and control environment, overseeing financial reporting, and evaluating internal and independent audit processes. The lack of an independent audit committee may prevent the board of directors from being independent from management in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the responsibilities of an audit committee without undue influence. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified, independent directors, the management of our business could be compromised. An independent audit committee is required for listing on any national securities exchange, therefore until such time as we meet the audit committee independence requirements of a national securities exchange we will be ineligible for listing on any national securities exchange.

 

Our board of directors act as our compensation committee, which presents the risk that compensation and benefits paid to those executive officers who are board members and other officers may not be commensurate with our financial performance.

 

A compensation committee consisting of independent directors is a safeguard against self-dealing by company executives. Our board of directors acts as the compensation committee and determines the compensation and benefits of our executive officers, administers our employee stock and benefit plans, and reviews policies relating to the compensation and benefits of our employees. Our lack of an independent compensation committee presents the risk that our executive officer on the board may have influence over his personal compensation and benefits levels that may not be commensurate with our financial performance.

 

Certain provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws may have anti-takeover effects which may make an acquisition of our company by another company more difficult.

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination, including mergers and asset sales, with an interested stockholder (generally, a 15% or greater stockholder) for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The operation of Section 203 may have anti-takeover effects, which could delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a holder of our common stock might consider in its best interest.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 125,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series.

 

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chairman or by our board. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders, to require that the board call such a special meeting, or to require that our board request the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.

 

These provisions on our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw may have anti-takeover effects, which could delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a holder of our common stock might consider in its best interest

 

We have never paid dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future.

 

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of our preferred or common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our preferred or common stock may have will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock.

Certain of our officers may have a conflict of interest.

 

Some of our officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are currently working for the Company on a part-time basis. Several of the part-time employees also work at other jobs and have discretion to decide what time they devote to our activities, which may result in a lack of availability when needed due to responsibilities at other jobs. We expect that some of these officers may join the Company on a full-time basis, but there can be no assurance given that any or all of our officers will be so employed.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

 We are engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. We currently generate revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. We have three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs, Inc.); (ii) our TV media contracts (Extraordinary Vacation Homes/ Third home) division; and (iii) our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group (Realbiz 360). The cornerstone of all three divisions is our proprietary technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music. We provide video, search and purchase capabilities on multiple platform dynamics for web, mobile, interactivity on TV and Video On Demand. Once a video is created using our proprietary technology, these home listing videos are automatically distributed to multiple media platforms (Television, broadband, web and mobile) for consumer viewing.

 

We have positioned our company in the following four areas summarized here and explained in more detail below:

 

  1. Real Estate Video on Demand Channel – We earn fees from pre-roll/post-roll advertising, banner ads and cross-market advertising promotions. We charge an $89 listing and marketing fee, and earn revenue from web-based and mobile advertising.

 

  2. Website and Mobile Applications – We are developing a real estate web portal. This site will be unique to the world of real estate search sites on multiple levels, from a consumer perspective the user experience will be completely visual and video centric, secondly, the site will provide local neighborhood information and allow for social interaction between home seekers and current residents who can provide an unbiased view of the selected neighborhood, and the content on the site will focus on the entire home ownership lifecycle from purchase through maintenance to home sale therefore giving the site a much deeper and more loyal audience over time.

 

  3. From an industry perspective the site will be revolutionary because it includes and agent only platform that allows for agent to agent interaction, and “App Store” for relevant video content, community events, discount coupons, industry news and agent share programs. This site will completely empower the agent with content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads at a fraction of the cost they’re currently paying. This agent only site interacts with our Microvideo App (MVA) platform. The MVA was developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise systems and/or their brokers. This solution gives those franchises and brokers a much needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition.

 

  4. Traditional Real Estate Sales – Our previous company, Webdigs, had licensed real estate brokerage division currently has participating brokers in 48 states. We believe there are potential opportunities to take advantage of an improving real estate market, and will be able to capture leads from the Real Estate Video on Demand Channel. The Company currently has no activities in this division.

 

Background and Industry Trends

 

We believe that the real estate market is undergoing a dramatic change not dissimilar to that previously experienced by traditional stock brokerages. We believe that the most critical aspect driving this change is the advent of the Internet as a tool for searching for and researching real estate, eliminating the commitments of time and expense involved with visiting multiple properties in person.  According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2010 “Member Profile,” 74% of home buyers use the internet to search for a home. This actually exceeds the 69% who use a realtor for their search. Note: many buyers use both the internet and a realtor in their search. In addition, home sellers can use the Internet to check home valuations, track the housing market and research comparable sales information.

The increased use of technology throughout the entire process of a typical residential real estate transaction is an important development in the real estate market. For instance, electronic communication and electronic data storage permits a real estate brokerage to quickly reproduce standard real estate transaction documents, store such documents and store other important information about customers and properties, and communicate quickly with other parties involved in real estate transactions (e.g., title companies, insurers, surveyors, inspectors and governmental agencies), all of which permits increased efficiencies in the process of buying and selling a home. The technological changes and developments generally make it possible to effect a greater volume of transactions with less effort and expense.

 

We believe the technological developments in the real estate market and the increased amount of information available to and used by ordinary consumers appear to be circumstances that are similar to those developments that eventually gave rise to the non-traditional stock brokerages which have intruded upon the market dominance of traditional stock brokerages over the past two decades. For example, we note that the non-traditional stock brokerages developed their services and products to compete primarily on the bases of price, consumer effort and technology. Their websites, such as TD Ameritrade or e-Trade, provide not only trading capacity for the average consumer, but also a tremendous amount of information about companies. In this regard, we note that there has recently been a proliferation of various Internet-related real estate businesses that seek to provide either specific and limited services or information relating to residential real estate transactions (e.g., ForSaleByOwner.com, BuyOwner.com, Trulia.com and Zillow.com). Like the non-traditional stock brokerages, these businesses typically rely on consumer effort, technology and price as the bases for competition. This is the model Webdigs has based its business plan on.

 

Real Estate On Demand

 

General

 

For the real estate video on demand area (“VOD”), we plan to market the approximately 120,000 “premium VOD TV residential home listings” as well as incorporate approximately over 2.5 million Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”) home listings from all major U.S. cities, with video on demand and interactive capabilities for users of our real estate website. We expect that this new interactive real estate tool may create direct referral fees, placement fees, advertising fees and possibly even mortgage financing revenue for our Company at a future date.

 

We recognize that in the U.S. most consumers research the buying of a home primarily through the Internet, newspapers and real estate magazines. Television does present a unique option as it provides brokers with significant “Brand awareness” in addition to individual property promotion. However as with other video mediums, traditional cable television on demand is changing as consumers increasingly move to adopt new platforms like IPTV (i.e. Rovi, Roku, Netflix) to access content on demand. We believe that the VOD solutions will continue to expand thereby allowing the consumer to view, in high quality video, local listings and specialty properties (oceanfront properties, mountain homes, farms, senior communities, etc.) through their screen of choice (television, computer or mobile device). This familiar television environment is no longer centered on the baby boomer and over-40 demographic that, in many cases, are more comfortable with a remote control then they are with a mouse or touch screen. The real estate VOD solution is branded as “Home Tour Network.” RealBiz has been servicing the real estate industry for over 6 years and enjoys direct access to the nation's largest real estate companies.

 

Currently, our desktop solution for virtual tours has been used by over 60,000 real estate agents and brokers.

 

Key Trends for VOD Advertising

 

The VOD market shows the strong potential for giving the company and brokers a great awareness platform to drive people to targeted websites. Additionally with, traditional cable television on demand platform expanding to meet consumers increasing move to adopt new platforms like IPTV (i.e. Rovi, Roku, Netflix), VOD opportunities also expand as the new platforms no longer have restrictions for the amount of content or booking capabilities The video audience grew by 32%, and time spent grew by 12%. According to Magna Global, VOD will outperform DVR in the US, reaching nearly 66 million households vs. 53 million households for DVR in 2015. In the VOD market, Comcast holds the lion’s share in terms of VOD views and revenues. With the acquisition of NBC Universal, Comcast will be able to serve one-fourth of the U.S pay-television households. Comcast has approximately 22.8 million cable television subscribers and 17 million high-speed Internet subscribers   .

 

New Opportunities for VOD Advertising

 

VOD ad platforms support a variety of advertising formats, from traditional embedded ad spots to ad overlays, bookends and even long-form, on-demand “showcase” ads that deliver information and allow some degree of interaction. Marketer, a leading media research firm, estimates that U.S. online advertising spending will hit new peaks from 2012 to 2014, surpassing US$30 billion in 2012, and exceeding US$40 billion in 2014. Marketer expects that spending on marketing will bring double-digit growth to online advertising for five consecutive years.

 

We believe the real estate market in particular is well suited to use VOD technology for the following reasons:

 

  Real estate agents and brokers generally look for more cost-effective ways to market
  Agents that place their listings on TV have a distinct marketing advantage over agents that don’t
  Google has made Traditional Internet websites and high-end print advertising (pay for click) very expensive
  Media channels focused on real estate are better able to reach the “new consumer”
  VOD is able to deliver what potential home buyers are asking for – video of a prospective home purchase, which provides valuable information to consumers
  Ability to target in local markets
  VOD is able to promote both listings and brand
  Reach out to higher demographics - Cable viewers have higher incomes, higher education and more disposable income
  Access through their television allows consumer home seekers to easily search listings with the touch of their remote

Our VOD Solution

 

RealBiz is becoming one of the fastest growing real estate image content management, creation and media delivery companies in the United States. In addition, we believe our approach to VOD will be beneficial due to the following factors:

 

  · Our exclusive partnerships with several national real estate brokerage firms aimed at creating and delivering VOD Listings to TV Networks through the HomeTourNetwork
  · Our proprietary Video Ad Builder tool, which we believe is the easiest way to create promotional VOD advertisements for television
  · Our marketing partnerships, which we expect will allow us to scale our business across major U.S. markets quickly and efficiently

 

Home Tour Network

 

Home Tour Network currently operates in 3 strategic cities – Atlanta, Las Vegas and Chicago. The VOD platform allows for up to 3,000 television listings with a reach that ranges from hundreds of thousands of homes per market to over a million homes in some markets. Real estate agent’s listings are automatically converted from the industry’s largest data feed and then can easily be placed on our interactive television platform for a fee ranging from $50 to $90 per month. This is a fraction of the cost to run an advertisement in a newspaper and provides real feedback to the agent.

  

Website and Mobile Applications

 

RealBiz is utilizing its technological advantage along with its industry contracts to create two separate and very important critical paths for real estate professionals and their organizations to follow. By using its video processing prowess combined with micro-site and website building techniques RealBiz has created an agent/broker micro-site product that leverages best practices in SEO (search engine optimization) on the agent/brokers behalf and delivers a web and mobile friendly rich media experience to consumers. This solution provides the broker a significant increase in organic ranking in local searches, increased site traffic and by doing so, reduces the agent/broker dependency on traditional listing aggregators. Secondly, by leveraging its relationship within the industry, RealBiz has access to a database of over 1.5 million homes. These homes are being converted into video assets and will be part of a real estate portal that unlike other listing aggregators will empower the agents with tools to push information in the form of video (their listings, other listings and useful home buyer/home owner information) to their prospect base. This solution provides the “zero listing” agent (about 70% of the agents in the U.S.) the opportunity to position themselves as a local community expert with listings and information that make him/her an asset to their prospect base. This portal and its tools will provide a much needed sense of control to the agent community while providing a significant decrease in their cost of lead acquisition.

 

Market and Competition

 

The National Association of Realtors has approximately 1.2 million members, of which we estimate roughly half are active and associated with at least one real estate brokerage firm.

 

Presently, Zillow is the largest independent real estate market site, as measured by homes in its database and unique visitors to its website. Zillow at present is the market leader in terms of unique visitors to its website however no one company has yet been able to establish a clearly dominant position. Realtor.com, Trulia, Homes.com and a variety of other websites all have meaningful market share and listing information. Trulia.com for example, has about 60% of Zillow’s traffic and is growing faster, year-over-year. We believe that we can carve out a piece of this lucrative market utilizing our innovative agent partnership platform and significant video assets.

 

Industry Segments

 

We currently operate in one primary operating segment, real estate, though video on demand and web-assisted services.

 

Seasonality of Business

 

The residential real estate market has traditionally experienced seasonality, with a peak in the spring and summer seasons and a decrease in activity during the fall and winter seasons. Revenues in each quarter can be significantly affected by activity during the prior quarter, given the time lag between contract execution and closing. A typical real estate transaction has a 30 day lag between contract signing and closing of the transaction.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

We are not subject to environmental regulations that have a material effect upon our capital expenditures or otherwise.

Other Regulation

 

We are subject to governmental regulation by federal, state and local regulatory authorities with respect to our operations. We operate several Internet websites that we use to distribute information about and provide our services and content. Internet services are now subject to regulation in the United States relating to the privacy and security of personally identifiable user information and acquisition of personal information from children under the age of 13, including the federal Child Online Protection Act (COPA) and the federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM). In addition, a majority of states have enacted laws that impose data security and security breach obligations. Additional federal and state laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online services, covering such issues as user privacy, child safety, data security, advertising, pricing, content, copyrights and trademarks, access by persons with disabilities, distribution, taxation and characteristics and quality of products and services. In addition, to the extent we offer products and services to online consumers outside the United States, the laws and regulations of foreign jurisdictions, including, without limitation, consumer protection, privacy, advertising, data retention, intellectual property, and content limitations, may impose additional compliance obligations on us.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Company spends a significant amount of time and resources in developing new software and improving its current products. The Company has spent in excess of $836,000 and $495,000 respectively for research and development in each of the fiscal years ending 2013 and 2012.

The Share Exchange

 

On October 9, 2012, we completed a share exchange (the “Exchange Transaction” ) with Next 1 Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Next 1”),that was contemplated by that certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 4, 2012 (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which we received all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Next 1 (“Attaché”) in consideration of our issuance to Next 1 of 93 million shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (our “Series A Stock). Attaché owns approximately 80% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc. which is the parent corporation of RealBiz 360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, on October 3, 2012, we changed our name from “Webdigs, Inc.” to “RealBiz Media Group, Inc.”, by engaging in a short-form parent-subsidiary merger in the State of Delaware. Bill Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer is also the Chief Executive Officer of Next 1 and our Chief Financial Officer, Adam Friedman is also the Chief Financial Officer of Next 1.

  

Coincident with the closing of the Exchange Transaction, we converted all of our outstanding debt, payables and liabilities owed to Robert A. Buntz, Jr. (“Buntz”) and Edward Wicker (“Wicker”) into an aggregate of 7 million shares of Series A Stock. Specifically, Mr. Buntz received 5,983,600 shares of Series A Stock upon his conversion of approximately $401,498 in liabilities we owed him, and Wicker received 1,016,400 shares of Series A Stock upon his conversion of approximately $53,356 in liabilities we owed him. Buntz was, and remains after the Exchange Transaction, a director of our Company. At the closing of the Exchange Transaction, Mr. Wicker resigned his position as a director of our Company and as our Chief Financial Officer. The Preferred A Shares for Mr. Buntz were converted to 5,990,238 Common Shares on February 27, 2013.

 

As a result of the Exchange Transaction and the conversion of liabilities referred to above, the shareholders of our Company before the Exchange Transaction retained approximately 365,176 shares of common stock (after giving effect to a reverse split effected as of May 3, 2012), representing approximately .364% of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (both common and preferred) immediately after the Exchange Transaction.

 

On March 16, 2012, we sold the “Webdigs” domain, technology and certain trademarks to Fiontrai II, LLC for $15,000. These assets, which were held in Webdigs, LLC, included US Trademark No. 3,461,665 "Webdigs", along with www.webdigs.com domain name and the original webdigs.com website software and technology developed by MoCo, Inc. Included in this transaction was a royalty agreement whereby Webdigs could receive royalty payments from Fiontrai upon its licensing the technology to other third parties. Also included in this transaction was a royalty agreement for which Fiontrai II paid $1,000.00 (part of the total $15,000). Robert Buntz, CEO purchased the royalty agreement from us in exchange for a principal reduction of his loan to the Company of $5,000.

Three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to three months ended January 31, 2013.

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenues decreased 10% to $246,054 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $271,995 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, a decrease of $25,941. This is due to the loss of a broker with significant monthly revenues as well as photographer inactivity during the holiday season.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenues decreased 1% to $21,990 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $22,205 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, a decrease of $215. This is due to a decrease in the commission revenue share portion of the multiple listing service contracts expiring and not renewed.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses, include salaries and benefits, selling and promotion, general and administrative expenses, increased 220% to $1,682,684 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $525,636 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $1,157,048. This increase was substantially due to an increase in consulting fees incurred in raising capital of $670,297, an increase in the amortization of intangible assets of $344,337 and to a lesser extent an increase in expenses related to investor relations of $128,358, travel and entertainment of $71,115, selling and promotion of $31,663, miscellaneous expense of $29,847, legal and professional fees of $19,921, insurance of $17,742 and audit and accounting fees of $16,526. This was partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits of $168,121 and to a lesser extent a decrease in expenses related to dues and subscriptions of $3,992 and a decrease in telephone expense of $645.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Exchange gains increased 369% to $7,512 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to exchange losses of $2,791 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $10,303 due primarily to the fluctuation between the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. This was partially offset by the increase in interest expense 100% to $870 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $870 due primarily to the amortization of the interest expense on a promissory note.

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $1,451,978 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to net loss of $278,637 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $1,173,341. The increase in net loss from 2013 to 2014 was substantially due to an increase in consulting fees incurred in raising capital of $670,297, an increase in the amortization of intangible assets of $344,337 and to a lesser extent an increase in investor relations of $128,358.

Interest expense increased 100% to $442,341 for year ended October 31, 2013, compared to $-0- for year ended October 31, 2012, an increase of $442,341 due primarily to the amortization of the beneficial conversion features of the new convertible promissory notes. Gain on forgiveness of debt increased 100% to $384,304 for the year ended October 31, 2013, compared to $-0- for the year ended October 31, 2012, an increase of $384,304 due primarily to the forgiveness of amounts due to various creditors during the current fiscal year. To a lesser extent, a decrease of 98% to $592 for the year ended October 31, 2013, compared to $38,221 for the year ended October 31, 2012, a decrease of $37,629 offset by an increase other expenses of 100% to $640 for the year ended October 31, 2013, compared to $-0- for the year ended October 31, 201, an increase of $640.

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $ 3,764,089 for the year ended October 31, 2013, compared to the net loss of $963,220 for the year ended October 31, 2012, an increase of $2,800,869. The increase in loss from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to an increase of $1,377,348 in the amortization of intangible assets, increase in interest expense of $440,000 due to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of new convertible promissory notes and consulting fees of $610,206.

 

Assets and Employees; Research and Development

 

We do not currently anticipate purchasing any equipment or other assets in the near term, however, as we expand operations, we will need additional equipment and employees to create and market our products.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Anticipated Financing Needs

 

At January 31, 2014, the Company had $166,327 cash on-hand, a decrease of $1,138,047 from $1,304,374 at the end of fiscal 2013. The decrease in cash was due primarily to operating expenses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,189,781 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, an increase of $792,146 from $397,635 used during the three months ended January 31, 2013. This increase was mainly due to an increase in net loss, amortization and depreciation, stock based compensation off set by decrease in due to affiliates.

 

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through proceeds from equity financings and revenue derived from operations. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, we raised $240,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants and the exercise of warrants. Our continued operations will primarily depend on our ability to raise additional capital from various sources including equity and debt financings, as well as our revenue derived from operations. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs or will be on favorable terms. Based on our current plans, we believe that our cash provided from the above sources will be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned operating needs for at least the next 12 months.

 

We have based our estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our shares or debt and other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant estimates are determining some of the inputs for our stock option fair value calculation and assessing the valuation allowance for income taxes.

 

We consider the following accounting policies to be those most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition:

 

Revenue Recognition . The Company provides its marketing and  promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected fee for services yet to be delivered.

 

Income Taxes . The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 because realization of those assets is not reasonably assured.

 

The Company will recognize a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

15
 

 

The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties has been recorded at October 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Share-Based Compensation   The Company accounts for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 includes compensation cost for restricted stock awards and stock options. The Company uses the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted as of the grant date.

 

Accounts Receivable . The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. The Company recognizes accounts receivable for amounts uncollected from the credit card service provider at the end of the accounting period. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company determined the allowance for doubtful accounts to be $76,823.

 

Office Equipment and Fixtures . Office equipment and fixtures are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income.

 

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Intangible Assets .

 

On October 3, 2012, Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (“Next 1”) entered a securities exchange agreement and exercised the option purchase agreement to purchase 664.1 common shares of Real Biz Holdings, Inc. Next 1 applied $300,000 of cash, issued a Series D Preferred stock subscription agreement for 380,000 shares and agreed to a $50,000 thirty day (30) day post closing final buyout bringing the total value of the agreement to $2,250,000.

 

Next 1 accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations". Next 1 is the acquirer for accounting purposes and Real Biz Holdings, Inc. is the acquired Company. Accordingly, Next 1 applied push-down accounting and adjusted to fair value all of the assets and liabilities directly on the financial statements of the subsidiary, Real Biz Holdings, Inc.

 

The net purchase price, including acquisition costs paid by Next 1, was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assume on the records of the Next 1 as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU No. 2013-11"). ASU No. 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with limited exceptions. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and may be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity" ("ASU No. 2013-05"). ASU No. 2013-05 requires an entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU No. 2013-04"). ASU No. 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, ASU No. 2013-04 requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information.

 

Seasonality of Business

 

The residential real estate market has traditionally experienced seasonality, with a peak in the spring and summer seasons and a decrease in activity during the fall and winter seasons. Revenues in each quarter can be significantly affected by activity during the prior quarter, given the time lag between contract execution and closing. A typical real estate transaction has a 30 day lag between contract signing and closing of the transaction.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Corporate Governance

 

Leadership Structure

 

Our Chief Executive Officer also serves as our Chairman of the Board.  Our Board of Directors does not have a lead independent director.   Our Board of Directors has determined its leadership structure was appropriate and effective for us given our stage of development.

 

29
 

 

Board Committees

 

We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee or committee performing similar functions, as our management believes that until this point it has been premature at the early stage of our management and business development to form an audit, compensation or nominating committee.

 

Director Independence

 

Although our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange, for purposes of independence we use the definition of independence applied by The NASDAQ Stock Market.  The Board has determined that two of its six directors (Messrs. Monaco and White) are “independent” in accordance with such definition.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS; DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Related-Party Transaction Policy  

 

Our Board of Directors has no formal written policy regarding transactions with related persons, but we do plan to abide by conflict-of-interest statutes under Delaware law and approve any related-party transactions by a majority of disinterested directors. In general, applicable law exhorts any director proposing to enter into a related-party transaction must disclose to our Board of Directors the proposed transaction and all material facts with respect thereto. In reviewing such a proposed transaction, our board expects to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including (1) the commercial reasonableness of the terms, (2) the benefit and perceived benefits, or lack thereof, to us, (3) the opportunity costs of alternate transactions, (4) the materiality and character of the related party’s interest, and (5) the actual or apparent conflict of interest of the related party. We expect to apply this analysis with respect to related party transactions that may involve our officers or greater-than-five-percent shareholders.

 

We do expect to adopt a formal written policy respecting related-party transactions in which our directors, officers and greater-than-five-percent shareholders may engage, consistent with Sarbanes-Oxley related internal control requirements and best practices.

 

The Company’s principal advertising agency/website developer was owed $615,264 at October 31, 2012. The two principals of this advertising company were at the time also minority stockholders in the Company, holding approximately 1.6% of the Company’s outstanding common shares at October 31, 2012. This Note was subsequently sold to a non-related third party during fiscal 2013.

 

In connection with the closing of the Exchange Transaction on October 9, 2012, Messrs. Buntz and Wicker converted all of their outstanding notes, unpaid salary and all other obligations and liabilities to them owed by the Company into 5,990,238 and 1,016,400 shares of Series A Stock, respectively. The Preferred A Shares for Mr. Buntz were converted to 5,990,238 Common Shares on February 27, 2013.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company paid $800 per month in rent for office space on behalf of Mr. Marques, an officer of the Company.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of common stock previously issued and issuable to the Selling Stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The Selling Stockholders, or their pledges, donees, transferees, or any of their successors in interest selling shares received from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus, may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These sales may be affected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

  

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
in the over-the-counter market;
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales;
through the distribution of the common stock by any Selling Stockholders to its partners, members or Stockholders;
through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
sales pursuant to Rule 144;
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
a combination of any such methods of sale; and

  

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

33
 

 

The Selling Stockholders may also transfer the Shares by gift. The Selling Stockholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the Shares. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a Selling Stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree with a Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of the Shares at a stipulated price per security. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell the Shares acting as agent for a Selling Stockholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold Shares at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire Shares as principals may thereafter resell the Shares from time to time in transactions in any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the Shares are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the Shares are covered by this prospectus.

 

If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

In addition, a Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, sell the Shares short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the Shares offered under this prospectus may be used to cover short sales.

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act of 1934, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

The shares of common stock offered hereby were originally issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We agreed to register the shares of common stock under the Securities Act, and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the earlier of the date on which the Selling Stockholders have sold all of the securities or one year after the shares were acquired by the Selling Stockholder. We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, estimated to be $30,000 in total, including, without limitation, Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; provided , however , that a Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

34
 

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Our authorized capital consists of 125 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 125 million shares of Preferred Stock , of which 100,000,000 are designated Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of February 28, 2014, 58,221,112 shares of common stock and 94,016,400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of shares of common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share of common stock in their name on the books of our company, whether represented in person or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock, including election of directors. There is no right to cumulative voting in election of directors. Except where a greater requirement is provided by statute, by our articles of incorporation, or by our bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the one or more holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote by the holders of a majority of outstanding shares is required to effect certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger, or amendment of our articles of incorporation.

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Holders of shares of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive or subscription or conversion rights, and no redemption or sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock sold in the offering, will when issued be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Warrants

 

Outstanding Warrants

 

As of March 10, 2014, we had 5,602,732 warrants to purchase our common stock outstanding at a weighted-average price of $1.00 respectively.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to 125,000,000 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series or classes and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series or class, which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, the effects might include:

 

    restricting dividends on our common stock;
       
    diluting the voting power of our common stock;
       
    impairing liquidation rights of our common stock; or
       
    delaying or preventing a change in control of us without further action by our stockholders.

 

The Board of Directors’ authority to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire control of our company, and could discourage such attempt. We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

We currently have 94,016,400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The preferred shares were issued at $.001 par, bear dividends at an annual rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis when declared by the board of directors. Dividends accrue whether or not they have been declared by the board. At our election, Preferred Dividends may be converted into Series A Stock, with each converted share having a value equal to the Market Price per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits. In order to exercise such option, we will deliver written notice to the holder. Each share of Series A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price then in effect. The conversion price for the Series A Stock is equal to $1.00 per share.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effects

 

Certain provisions set forth in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, in our bylaws and in Delaware law, which are summarized below, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

 

Blank Check Preferred Stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 125,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series.

 

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chairman or by our board. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders, to require that the board call such a special meeting, or to require that our board request the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.

 

While the foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may have an anti-takeover effect, these provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board of Directors and in the policies formulated by the Board of Directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. In that regard, these provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

 

Delaware Takeover Statute

 

In general, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a Delaware corporation that is a public company from engaging in any “business combination” (as defined below) with any “interested stockholder” (defined generally as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with such entity or person) for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such date, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (3) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines “business combination” to include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of ten percent or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that: (1) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (2) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

36
 

 

This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders of our company will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision, however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit the right of our company or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of fiduciary duty.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of our common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Gracin & Marlow, LLP, New York, New York.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

RealBiz Media Group, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RealBiz Media Group, Inc. as of October 31, 20 13 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and changes in stockholders’ equity , and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RealBiz Media Group, Inc. as of October 31, 20 13 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of $3,764,089 and $963,220 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,379,759 and a working capital deficit of $374,319 at October 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended October 31, 2013 and 2012

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

On October 9, 2012 RealBiz Holdings, Inc. (RealBiz) n.k.a. RealBiz Media Group, Inc., formerly a private entity, was party to two transactions. In the first transaction shares of its common stock were acquired by an unrelated public company, Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (the Parent). This transaction was accounted for by the Parent as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the fair value adjustments were "pushed down" to RealBiz's books in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J "New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances. In the second transaction RealBiz entered into a reverse acquisition transaction with another public company, Webdigs, Inc. (Webdigs) whereby Webdigs acquired 100 % of RealBiz in exchange for Webdigs issuing a voting preferred stock to the Parent giving the Parent control over Webdigs. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of RealBiz. Webdigs then changed its name to RealBiz Media Group, Inc.

 

The chronological historical events leading to the above transactions are as follows:

 

On August 8, 2012, Next 1 Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Next 1”) together with its subsidiary Next One Realty (the trade name for Next 1’s wholly owned subsidiary Attaché Travel International, Inc.) entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Acknew Purchase Agreement”) with Acknew Investments Inc. (“Acknew”) and RealBiz Holdings Inc. Under the Acknew Purchase Agreement, Next 1 had agreed to acquire from Acknew common shares of RealBiz Holdings, Inc. representing approximately an 85 % ownership interest in RealBiz Holdings, Inc. RealBiz Holdings Inc. is the parent corporation of RealBiz 360, Inc. and RealBiz 360 Enterprise (Canada), Inc. (together referred to as “RealBiz”).

 

Pursuant to the Acknew Purchase Agreement, Next 1 and Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs” or the “Company”) would consummate a share exchange transaction contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 5, 2012 (“Share Exchange Agreement”) by and between Next 1 and Webdigs. In that contemplated share exchange transaction, Next 1 would receive a controlling interest in Webdigs through its receipt of approximately 93 million shares of newly designated preferred stock representing approximately 92 % of the total outstanding capital stock of Webdigs immediately after the transaction. In exchange, Next 1 would transfer its entire share ownership in Attaché Travel International, Inc. (Next One Realty) to Webdigs.

 

On October 9, 2012, Webdigs and Next 1 completed the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Webdigs received all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc. (“Attaché”). In exchange for Webdigs’s receipt of the Attaché shares from Next 1, Webdigs issued to Next 1 a total of 93 million shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (our “Series A Stock”). The exchange of Attaché shares in exchange for the Series A Stock of Webdigs is referred to as the “Exchange Transaction.”

 

As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, the Company changed its name from “Webdigs, Inc.” to “RealBiz Media Group, Inc.” on October 9, 2012, by engaging in a short-form parent-subsidiary merger in the State of Delaware.

 

Nature of Business

 

We are engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry.   We currently generate revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees.   We have three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs); (ii) our TV media contracts (Extraordinary Vacation Homes/ Third home) division; and (iii) our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group (RealBiz 360). The cornerstone of all three divisions is our proprietary technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music. We provide video, search and purchase capabilities on multiple platform dynamics for web, mobile, interactivity on TV and Video On Demand.   Once a video created using our proprietary technology, these home listing videos are automatically distributed to multiple media platforms (Television, broadband, web and mobile) for consumer viewing.

 

A more detailed description of our three sources of revenue is set forth below:

 

  1. Our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media Group allows real estate agents to have a video created of their customer’s homes and then posted on television, over 200 real estate websites, You Tube, and mobile applications for a monthly fee of $ 89 . The Company currently works with over 20,000 agents monthly. Though photos and virtual tours are listed as highly important on the home buyer’s lists, the astonishing growth of YouTube and Social Media fueled by the change in consumer demographics has left the Real Estate Industry scrambling to keep up. Our direct feed services into listing databases provide for the automated creation and syndication of Virtual Tours and YouTube Videos posted directly to YouTube Channels and promoted on Social Networks. These solutions continue to support our Agent/Broker revenue base through setup and monthly recurring fees. Due to the broad media exposure of highly targeted consumers, we believe that we will also be able to generate revenue   from pre-roll/post-roll advertising for televisions, lead generation fees, banner ads and cross market advertising promotions, however to date our revenue from this division has been solely derived from the monthly fee paid to us by real estate agents. All of the Company’s revenue is currently derived from this division.

  2. Through our Realtor.com Partnership we have expanded our home tour networks to include Video Portal, Widget and Mobile applications.   We currently operate an INTERACTIVE VOD Network for Real Estate in conjunction with our partner Realtor.com. The network is branded under the name of Home Tour Network and is carried on Cox Communications and Comcast stations.   In late May 2012, we signed a multiyear partnership with Realtor.com that included agreements to rebrand the network to “Realtor.com channel” and expand the network into 55 million households. Additionally we have been commissioned to develop a major real estate web portal and enhanced Widget/Microvideo app platforms to work in conjunction with Realtor.com and other major real estate brokerage groups.     

 

  3. Our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs) can derive revenue from its licensed broker that engage in traditional real estate sales. We have participating brokers licensed in 38 states and believe that this division is positioned to take advantage of the improving real estate market.  

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 include the operations of Webdigs, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Webdigs, LLC, which includes the dormant wholly owned subsidiaries of Home Equity Advisors, LLC, and Credit Garage, LLC from the recapitalization date of October 9, 2012 and the historical operations of RealBiz Media Group, Inc, which includes its subsidiaries RealBiz 360 Enterprise (Canada), Inc. and RealBiz 360, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

On May 17, 2012, the Company affected a 1 for 200 reverse stock split . All share and per share information in the consolidated financial statements presented has been retrospectively adjusted for the split.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Concentration on Credit Risk

 

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash. The Company has deposits in excess of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insurance limit. At October 31, 2013, the Company was approximately $1,035,000 in excess of the $250,000 per bank per company limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.   While the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits, it cannot reasonably alleviate the risk associated with the sudden possible failures of such institutions.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. The Company recognizes accounts receivable for amounts uncollected from the credit card service provider at the end of the accounting period. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company determined the allowance for doubtful accounts to be $ 76,823 .

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year.   Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service.   The estimated useful life of computer equipment is 3 years. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. As of October 31, 2013, the Company did not impair any long-lived assets

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

  1. Significant underperformance to historical or projected future operating results;

 

  2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

 

  3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible many not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount book value exceeds fair value. The Company measures fair value based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company did not consider it necessary to record an impairment charge on its intangible assets during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $ 1,377,348 and $- 0 - for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The   Company adopted   ASC   topic   820,   “Fair   Value   Measurements and   Disclosures” (ASC   820),   formerly   SFAS   No. 157   “Fair   Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. See footnote 15 for fair value measurements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected fee for services yet to be delivered.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues includes costs attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as credit card fees, sales commission to business partners, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.

 

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

 

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $138,226 and $49,484.

 

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is typically the applicable local currency. The translation from the respective foreign      currencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.

 

Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. We recognized net foreign exchange gains of $ 592 and $ 38,221 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the accumulated comprehensive loss was $19,215 and $5,849, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:

 

   October 31,
2013
   October 31,
2012
 
Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   94,009,762    100,000,000 
Warrants to purchase common stock issued, outstanding and exercisable   8,325,832    -0- 
Stock options issued, outstanding and exercisable   4,000    4,000 
Shares on convertible promissory notes   1,866,667    4,101,760 
    104,206,261    104,105,760 

 

Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are related to the real estate industry and its prospects for success are tied indirectly to interest rates and the general housing and business climates in the United States.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU No. 2013-11"). ASU No. 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with limited exceptions. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and may be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity" ("ASU No. 2013-05"). ASU No. 2013-05 requires an entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU No. 2013-04"). ASU No. 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, ASU No. 2013-04 requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

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

 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has incurred net losses of $ 3,764,089 and $ 963,220 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. At October 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $ 374,319 , and an accumulated deficit of $ 10,379,759 . It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of common stock and or through the issuance of debt instruments. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes taking into account deferred tax assets and liabilities which represent the future tax consequences of the differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under this method, deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of tax rate changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year the change is enacted.

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following for the years ended October 31:

 

   2013   2012 
         
Current  $-   $- 
Deferred   -    - 
           
Provision for income taxes  $-   $- 

 

The provision for income taxes varies from the statutory rate applied to the total loss as follows for the years ended October 31:

 

   2013   2012 
         
Federal income tax benefit at statutory rate (35%)  $(1,317,431)  $(337,127)
State taxes, net of federal benefit   (170,483)   (43,626)

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

Significant components of the Company’s estimated deferred tax balances at October 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of:

 

   2013   2012 
Deferred tax assets (liabilities)          
Net operating loss carryforwards (U.S.)  $281,009   $100,986 
Net operating loss carryforwards (Canada)   567,626    423,882 
Bad Debt   30,368    -0- 
Accrued Salaries   116,024    27,402 
           
Net deferred tax assets   995,027    552,270 
Valuation allowance   (995,027)   (552,270)
           
Provision for income taxes  $-   $- 

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased. The valuation allowance increased by $ 442,757 during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.

 

The Company has a total net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ 2,813,000 , of which approximately $ 711,000 relates to domestic entities and $ 2,102,000 relates to wholly owned Canadian subsidiaries. 2032. Under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (IRC 382) and the Canadian Tax Act, certain stock transactions which significantly change ownership, including the sale of stock to new investors, the exercise of options to purchase stock, or other transactions between shareholders could limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual basis to offset taxable income in future periods.

 

NOTE 15: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE

 

The Company has adopted ASC 820, Fair Market Measurement and Disclosures including the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Fair Value Measurements at October 31, 2011 and 2012 respectively using:

REALBIZ MEDIA GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Nature of Business
 
We are engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry.  We currently generate revenue from advertising, real estate broker commissions and referral fees.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state RealBiz Media Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”) financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending October 31, 2014.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. The Company recognizes accounts receivable for amounts uncollected from the credit card service provider at the end of the accounting period. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.
 
Property and Equipment
 
All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year.  Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service.  The estimated useful life of computer equipment is 3 years. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. The Company incurred depreciation expense of $1,761 and $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. As of January 31, 2014, the Company did not impair any long-lived assets

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Website Development Costs
 
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
 
1.
Significant underperformance to historical or projected future operating results;
 
2.
Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
 
3.
Significant negative industry or economic trends.
 
When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount book value exceeds fair value. The Company measures fair value based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company did not consider it necessary to record an impairment charge on its intangible assets during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $344,337 and $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
Convertible Debt Instruments
 
The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The  Company adopted  ASC  topic  820,  “Fair  Value  Measurements and  Disclosures” (ASC  820),  formerly  SFAS  No. 157  “Fair  Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
 
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected fee for services yet to be delivered.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues includes costs attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as credit card fees, sales commission to business partners, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.
 
Advertising Expense
 
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $25,880 and $21,153, respectively. 
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
 
In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.
 
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is typically the applicable local currency. The translation from the respective foreign currencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.
 
Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. We recognized net foreign exchange gain of $7,512 and a loss of $2,791 for three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the accumulated comprehensive gain was $205,529 and $1,466, respectively.
  
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
 
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
 
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:

Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company’s operations are related to the real estate industry and its prospects for success are tied indirectly to interest rates and the general housing and business climates in the United States.
 
 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption. 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The Company has incurred net losses of $1,451,978 and $278,637 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively. At January 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,578,619, and an accumulated deficit of $11,950,233. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of common stock and or through the issuance of debt instruments. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.

Note 4: Property and Equipment
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company recorded the purchase of $2,058 of computer equipment which is being depreciated using the straight line method over 3 year period. The Company has recorded $1,761 and $-0- of depreciation expense for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The depreciable equipment has a weighted average remaining useful life of 2.3 years. There was no asset impairment recorded for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. As of January 31, 2014, $42,149 of previously purchased equipment has not be placed in service.

issued 298,850 shares of its common stock along with 182,850 one year warrants with an exercise price of $1 for a total value of $649,405 for consulting fees rendered.  The value of the common stock issued was based on the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance.  The value of the warrants was estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate between 0.10% and 0.14%, dividend yield of -0-%, volatility factor between 319.22% and 326.53% and expected life of one year.
 
·
issued 8,712,418 shares of its common stock valued at $517,375 upon the conversion of the holders of convertible preferred shares held in its parent company Next 1 Interactive, Inc.

Convertible Preferred Stock Series A
 
As of January 31, 2014, the Company had 94,009,762 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A issued and outstanding respectively. The preferred shares were issued at $.001 par, bear dividends at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis when declared by the board of directors. Dividends accrue whether or not they have been declared by the board. At the election of the Company, Preferred Dividends may be converted into Series A Stock, with each converted share having a value equal to the market price per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits. In order to exercise such option, the Company delivers written notice to the holder. Each share of Series A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price then in effect. The conversion price for the Series A Stock is equal to $1.00 per share.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

The following information sets forth certain information with respect to all securities which we have sold during the last three years.  We did not pay any commissions in connection with any of these sales.

 

Issuance of Securities Upon Exchange Transaction

 

For sales of unregistered securities made by the Company in the Exchange Transaction (i.e., the issuance of an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Series A Stock, including the issuance of an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of Series A Stock to our Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officers, Messrs. Buntz and Wicker), we relied on the exemption from registration provided under Sections 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) on the basis that there were only three recipients of such shares and they were either accredited investors or took the shares as a result of a private negotiation with restrictions placed on all such shares limiting future transfers except in accordance with the Securities Act. In consideration of the share issuance to Messrs. Buntz and Wicker, those individuals relinquished their right to payment of approximately (i) in the case of Mr. Buntz, $246,835 in principal amount of loans earlier made to the Company, together with related accrued but unpaid interest thereon of approximately $106,663, and accrued but unpaid salary in the amount of $48,000, and (ii) in the case of Mr. Wicker, accrued but unpaid salary in the amount of approximately $53,536.

Issuances by Company Prior to Exchange Transaction (Webdigs, Inc.)

    

On April 3, 2012, a convertible note of $30,000 plus accrued interest of $6,624 was converted into 3,662,400 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. The issuance was not a public offering as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, because the offer and sale was made to an insubstantial number of persons and because of the manner of the offering.  promulgated under the Securities Act and  Each investor represented, among other things, that he or she was not a “U.S. person,” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, that he or she was outside the United States when receiving and executing their subscription agreement, that their principal address is outside the United States, that they have no present intention of becoming a resident of (or moving their principal place of business to) the United States and that the shares were being acquired solely for their own account and not for the account or the benefit of a U.S. Person.  

 

In March 2012, the Company sold the “Webdigs” domain, technology and certain trademarks to Fiontrai II, LLC for $15,000. In connection with this transaction, the obtained a royalty agreement with Fiontrai II pursuant to which Webdigs will be owed royalties from Fiontrai upon Fiontrai’s licensing to third parties of the technology purchased from the Company. The Company subsequently sold its royalty rights to Robert A. Buntz, Jr., its Chief Executive Officer and a director and significant shareholder, in exchange for a $5,000 principal reduction in an earlier loan Mr. Buntz had made to the Company to furnish working capital.

 

On March 11, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors granted the Company’s then-Chief Financial Officer, Edward Wicker, the right to convert up to $96,384 of accrued salary into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.00 per share (on a post-split basis). On March 11, 2011, the Chief Financial Officer exercised this right and converted $96,384 of his accrued but unpaid compensation owed to him by the Company, acquiring 48,192 common shares.

 

On March 15, 2011, the Company’s then-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Buntz, Jr., exercised his right to convert into common shares a $300,000 in principal amount of the convertible promissory note of the Company at a price of $2.00 per share (on a post-split basis) resulting in the issuance of an additional 150,000 common shares.

 

In May 2010, the Company granted 500 shares of treasury stock to an employee as compensation. The shares were valued at $4,000 ($8.00 per share).

  

For these issuances of common stock, unless otherwise stated we relied on the exemption from federal registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and, in those instances where the issuances were made to affiliates or accredited investors, upon Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. In that regard, we relied on Rule 506 based on the fact that the investors who purchased these securities qualified as an “accredited investors” under Rule 501 of the Securities Act. In all cases, investors had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that they were capable of evaluating the risks of the investment. The securities offered and sold in the transactions were not registered under the Securities Act and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants, pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any acts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement (notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement); and

 

41
 

 

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; provided, however, that subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

  

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

 

 

42
 

   

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(6) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(7) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

B. Request for Acceleration of Effective Date

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
